Hogwarts: From The Obscure To The Dark Lord

"Have you heard? As long as you take off the big scarf on Professor Quirrell's head, you can get 500 Galleons.

"Who released this news, it can't be fake, right? 500 Galleons, isn't that a small sum?"

"The news should be true, but it's unclear who the big benefactor is, but the Weasley twins said that as long as you take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell's head, you can go to them and get a reward of 500 Galleons."

"Oh my God, is that man crazy, willing to pay 500 Galleons just for the scarf on Professor Quirrell's head!"

"Who knows, we don't understand the world of local tyrants, but the rewards are really generous. I heard that many people have already tried it. I'm going to try it too. If I can take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell's head, I can get 500 Galleons."

This kind of gossip spread very quickly in Hogwarts castle, and within a short time, most of the students in grades one to seven knew about it.

Under the temptation of Jin Jialong, many students couldn't help but feel excited. Anyway, it's not a big deal, they just need to take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell's head, and they don't want them to fight the professor.

As the Christmas holiday approached, the little wizards were already in an impetuous mood, but now this incident happened again, which made the little wizards all restless.

In this way, Professor Quirrell's miserable life began. Whenever he appeared in public, some little wizards would sneak up on him and try to take off the scarf on his head

For example, some little wizards threw big dung eggs at him, and Professor Quirrell used the Iron Armor Curse to protect himself, but those little wizards were taken away by Filch.

For another example, a little wizard would inadvertently approach Professor Quirrell, and then take the opportunity to remove the coin from his head.

In order to protect himself, Professor Quirrell could only keep himself away from the crowd, and at the same time keep his eyes and ears listening.

The successive sneak attacks made Professor Quirrell miserable, and he has become a frightened bird now.

Whenever a little wizard approached, he would put the Iron Armor Curse on himself in advance, and then looked around vigilantly, almost suspicious.

The little wizards also had a lot of tricks. Although they couldn't take off the big scarf on Professor Quirrell's head, they also caused him quite a lot of trouble.

Even a few times, when Professor Quirrell was not paying attention, the scarf on his head was almost torn off in half by the little wizard, and he ran away in fright.

Professor Quirrell no longer dares to appear in public. He eats three meals a day in the office, and he never leaves the office except for necessary classes.

Every time after class, he would leave in a hurry, not daring to delay, otherwise there would be little wizards to deal with him.

When it was even more serious, Professor Quirrell put the Iron Armor Curse on himself during class, fearing that a little wizard would sneak up on him.

This situation continued until the start of the Christmas holidays.

The Christmas holiday lasts for two weeks. Students can choose to stay in school or go home. Most students will choose to go home for Christmas. After all, Christmas is the most important festival of the year.

Gryffindor common room.

The fire in the fireplace was very hot, and Harry, Ron, and Toby gathered in front of the fireplace to enjoy the fire. Now there are very few people here, and everyone else has gone home for Christmas, such as Hermione and Neville.

Only a few students will choose to stay in school for Christmas. On such an important day as Christmas, they prefer to stay with their families.

"Harry, Ron, it's time for us to go. The dinner in the auditorium is about to start. Today is Christmas Eve."

Toby said.

"Oh, I think today's dinner will be very rich, I don't know what to eat, I can't wait."

Ron said cheerfully.

"It's a pity that Hermione and the others are all home, otherwise it would be very lively."

Harry said with some regret that he didn't want to go back to his uncle and aunt's house, rather than going back, he would rather stay in Hogwarts Castle, this is his home.

The three of them left the Gryffindor lounge and walked towards the auditorium on the first floor of the castle. The road was empty, except for the portraits and the characters inside. They seemed to be celebrating Christmas too.

Arriving at the auditorium, it has been completely decorated. Twelve tall fir trees have been decorated as Christmas trees, which look extraordinarily beautiful under the influence of magic.

The walls of the auditorium were hung with holly and mistletoe festoons, and the Christmas trees were adorned with tiny icicles, some with hundreds of candles flickering.

At this time, the four long tables in the auditorium had turned into one long table. Since there were very few students staying at the school, the Christmas Eve dinner was held together by Hogwarts staff and students.

There were no more than a dozen students staying in school, and the Weasley family alone had four, Percy, Fred, George and Ron.

It was the first time for Harry and the others to eat at the same table with the professors, so they seemed a little nervous and restrained.

Toby glanced at the people present, all the Hogwarts staff seemed to be here at the moment, including Hagrid and Filch, and of course Professor Quirrell was still absent.

However, Toby also found an interesting thing, Hogwarts staff seem to be all single.

Needless to say, Dumbledore, his old lover is still in Nurmengard Prison, and Professor McGonagall was married once before, but has been single since her husband died.

Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout are also single, they are both outstanding in a certain field, maybe they put all their energy on spells and herbalism, and can't separate their energy from other things.

As for Professor Snape, he was still missing his time.

The other professors, Professor Trelawney in Divination, Professor Sinistra in Astronomy, and Mrs. Hooch in Flying also seem to be alone.

"It's no wonder that the population of the wizarding world is so small. Many wizards have chosen to be single."

Toby shook his head secretly. The population of the wizarding world in Eagle Country is only nearly 10,000, which is like the population of a village in the Muggle world. Witches in the wizarding world don't seem to like procreation very much. Not every witch is Mrs. Weasley.

"Professor Quirrell is not here."

Harry whispered.

"Professor Quirrell has had a miserable life recently. He doesn't appear in public anymore. He wraps himself with the Iron Armor Curse all day long, for fear of being attacked by other students."

"However, as long as you take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell's head, you can get 500 Galleons. It's really enviable. It would be great if I could take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell's head."

Ron was full of anticipation, 500 Galleons, he had never seen such a large amount of money since he was born.

"Haha, little Ronnie, stop dreaming, even we can't succeed, let alone you, Professor Quirrell regards his scarf as important as his life, I really don't know what's under his scarf ?”?

The twins, Fred and George, also joined in.

"However, we will not give up, and we will definitely remove the scarf from Professor Quirrell's head.

The twins said, and winked at Toby and Jamie.

Before the dinner began, Dumbledore spoke a few words briefly before announcing the start. In an instant, a lot of delicious food appeared on the dining table.

Although there were not many people, the atmosphere at the table was quite lively. The professors talked and laughed happily while drinking.

As for the students, they also smiled lightly while eating their food.

The Christmas Eve dinner did not end until very late. After the dinner, Toby and the others went back to their dorms in their colleges to sleep.

On a rare Christmas Eve, for the first time, Toby and Jamie did not go to the Room of Requirement to practice magic at midnight, but planned to take a good rest.

The next day was Christmas. When he woke up in the morning, Toby found a pile of packages piled up at the foot of his bed. These were Christmas presents from others.

Compared with Toby's, whether it is Harry or Ron, their packages are much less, especially Harry, there are only a few.

"Merry Christmas! Toby, Ron!"

Harry got up from the bed sleepily, and said something to Toby and Ron.

"Merry Christmas! Oh my God, Toby you got so many presents for Christmas!"

Ron exclaimed when he saw the pile of Christmas presents piled up at the foot of Toby's bed. .
