Chapter 60 True or False
"Do you think...are they all fake?……"
Neville suddenly asked.
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere in the whole auditorium suddenly became cold. Everyone was silent and looked at Neville in shock, which made Neville shrink his neck.
The next moment, many young wizards took action and took out their wands to point at the two professors, their faces full of fear and suspicion.
At this time, there was only suspicion in the auditorium.
""Severus, you asked me for a favor during the summer vacation. Do you remember?"
Professor McGonagall looked at Snape seriously and asked.
Snape hesitated when he heard it. He glanced at Harry and said slowly:"Remember, you rejected me and said it was Dumbledore's decision."
Professor McGonagall nodded, and the fingers holding the wand loosened a little, no longer holding so tightly.
"Don't doubt it, Professor Snape and I are both real."
Professor McGonagall raised her head slightly and said in a deep voice.
However, the students at this moment have become frightened birds and have lost the ability to distinguish.���Did not relax because of McGonagall's words.
Professor McGonagall felt a little headache when she saw this. It seemed that the impostor had messed up the school.
Then McGonagall talked about some things with the students, and then her identity was confirmed.
Although the students in the whole auditorium believed it at this time, they still felt a little strange.
After Professor McGonagall's questioning, Snape and McGonagall knew what happened and finally knew why the students doubted their identities.
McGonagall and Snape looked at each other and felt tricky.
However, McGonagall also keenly realized that the impostor was just pretending and did not cause any actual harm to the students.
Compared with the impostor, it seems that the troll's matter is more important.
I heard from the students that the troll had been to the auditorium, and there were indeed traces of the troll on the ground of the auditorium, but... the troll was such an obvious target, but they did not find it.
Suddenly, a footstep sounded from outside, sounding neither hurried nor slow. Everyone looked at the door of the auditorium, wondering whether it would be a troll or an impostor who would appear next.
Finally, the figure appeared at the door of the hall. Seeing that figure, Snape's eyes flickered slightly, and his hand had already grasped the wizard's wand.
"Huh? Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, why are you all here?"
The man who came was Professor Quirrell, wearing a purple turban, and walked in with some doubts.
The students present showed a trace of surprise in their eyes again. Professor Quirrell seemed to have lost his memory. He was the one who came to inform Snape that the troll had appeared. Now he was wondering why they were all here. This was too abnormal.
Ron shrank his neck, touched his arm, and felt goose bumps all over his body.
Most of the other students thought so too. They felt that tonight was too scary, as if it was haunted. They didn't know until the end that the people who had communicated with them normally before were ghosts. This was really disturbing.
Snape did not stop Quirrell from approaching. He was confident that he could take action before Quirrell behaved abnormally, and he was not sure whether Quirrell was real or fake.
As Quirrell approached, Snape couldn't help but sniff and smelled a disgusting smell, like garlic. His brows suddenly frowned. The Quirrell who came to inform him before didn't have this smell!
In other words, the previous Quirrell was fake, and he didn't think deeply about the troll at that time, so he didn't notice it.
"Where have you been? Professor Quirrell.
Professor McGonagall asked
""I'm sorry, I went to Hogsmeade and had a glass of butterbeer."
Professor Quirrell said timidly with a trace of apology on his face.
Snape whispered to McGonagall, pointing out the flaws of the impostor and confirming the authenticity of this Professor Quirrell.
So the original Quirrell was fake, but the troll did appear. Could it be that the troll was put in by the impostor!
Professor McGonagall and Snape both thought of the same point, but they were also confused. It seemed a little strange that the troll could be tied up by the rope of the Swift Binding Spell, but they didn't think too much about it. After all, the Polyjuice Potion couldn't pretend to be a troll.
McGonagall then told Professor Quirrell about the matter, and after listening, Professor Quirrell showed a look of horror.
"This is horrible.
Professor Quirrell couldn't help but mutter absentmindedly.
"The troll is still wandering around the school. Professor Quirrell, you will take care of these students. Let's go find the troll."
Professor McGonagall immediately gave the order. In this case, she and Snape had to go out to look for it. After all, Quirrell didn't look like he could deal with the troll alone. Although he was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he was not very good at dealing with the troll.
"Me... me?"
Qi Luo pointed at himself in surprise, a little bit unbelievable and a little bit unconfident.
"Yes, if someone comes in later, you need to verify their identity first. Let's set a password, iced lemon juice. If the identity is wrong, you can subdue the other party first."
Professor McGonagall said seriously, without a trace of joking, and handed this difficult task to Quirrell. Of course, this is already the easiest task. From the previous situation, the impostor did not show any aggressiveness.
""Okay... okay!"
Quirrell had no choice but to agree.
Then McGonagall and Snape went out again, leaving Quirrell and the students in the hall.
"Professor Quirrell, you can't be fake too, right?"
A Ravenclaw girl asked worriedly, and everyone else's eyes were focused on him.
Before Quirrell could answer, Malfoy showed a look of disgust and said:"You will know if you smell him.���Fake."
This sentence was recognized by many students. Others might be fake, but Professor Quirrell's smell was definitely real!
Unexpectedly, one day the smell they disliked could make them feel at ease. It was incredible.
Quirrell was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he said with some relaxation:"Mr. Malfoy, you are so smart."
However, only a short while later, several footsteps were heard outside the auditorium. All the students looked at the door of the auditorium in response, holding their breath. Who knows if the person coming is a human or a ghost.
And Quirrell also looked at the door of the auditorium, frowned slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the candlelight outside also made their shadows appear first and get in.
When they saw the three figures appearing at the door of the auditorium, all the students took a breath again.
It was Snape, who had a gloomy face and sharp eyes like a blade, and McGonagall, who had a black face. Both of them held wands in their hands, and the third figure was Quirrell wearing a purple turban.
""Oh my God!"
At this moment everyone was shocked, and instinctively looked at Professor Quirrell who was closer to them. They took out their wands and quickly squeezed to the back, and in a blink of an eye they had gathered into a group.
Quirrell in the auditorium looked at McGonagall and Snape in panic, and asked in astonishment:"Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, what are you doing?"
"Who are you?!"
Snape's eyes were sharp enough. He wanted to kill someone after being fooled all night!
Not long after they walked out, they met Professor Quirrell who came back from outside. They were puzzled to see McGonagall and Snape raising their wands to him, but Snape also smelled the smell of garlic coming from Professor Quirrell, and his face suddenly changed.
Both of them smelled of garlic, so it was not certain who was real and who was fake!
It is also possible that the person in front of them was real, and the one in the auditorium was fake!
McGonagall thought of the same thing, and her face went black. If the one in the auditorium was fake, they would be leaving a danger to the unsuspecting students, and she didn't dare to think about what would happen!
McGonagall quickly checked some things that only they knew with the Professor Quirrell in front of them, and confirmed that the Professor Quirrell in front of them was the real one, and they hurried back to the auditorium.
"You...you are all impostors?!"
Quirrell, who was close to the students, asked with fear on his face.
All the students' faces suddenly changed. It was not impossible that there were three impostors at the same time. They immediately pointed their wands at Snape and the other three in fear.
Seeing the wands of these students pointing at him, Snape's face almost turned black. These little wizards were going to rebel!
""Oh right... the password, what's the password?!"
Quirrell on the student side seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously.
In fact, he had to ask because he saw Snape's face full of gritted teeth and the look of being ready to fight at any time.
Of course he was Hope, the best actor tonight, bar none. He had acted for a whole night and felt pretty good, especially after playing Snape twice. Seeing how scared these students were, it would be no problem to be named the best actor.
He actually didn't really want to come in dressed as Quirrell, especially before that he knew through the treasure perception that Snape had returned to the auditorium, but the progress of fusing the Boggart was only one step away, so he had to bite the bullet and act hard.
Unexpectedly, before coming in, he suddenly remembered the loophole when he played Quirrell before, and deliberately went to find some garlic. Unexpectedly, he gained trust by accident. To be honest, he was a little shocked at the time. He had thought that he would find an excuse to go out after McGonagall and Snape left, but it was over. Mei left the stage, but Quirrell happened to come back at this time.
Quirrell might not have met McGonagall and Snape, but he still met them. It can only be said that it was God's will.
But at this point, Hope still wanted to try whether he could continue to act hard. This was his professional ethics as a best actor.
He named this performance"Can You Trust Me Again?"
Of course, he was ready to slip away at any time. If he really couldn't continue acting, God knew what kind of spell Snape, who was on the verge of exploding, would cast. Even Hope, who had tough skin, didn't want to take it.
Seeing Snape about to take action, Hope could only take the initiative, seize the initiative, and ask for the password.
McGonagall frowned and looked at Hope, not knowing what the other party was still insisting on after exploding, but just in case, and to gain the trust of the students, she still said,"Iced lemon juice!"
Snape stared at Hope with his eyes fixed. He promised that if the impostor dared to say that the password was wrong, he would let the other party taste his magic.
In fact, at this moment Hope really had this idea. Once he said that the other party's password was wrong, Snape would definitely attack him. He could just pretend to be injured. What would the students think in this case?
……
Probably because they thought that if the impostor attacked Snape and the others, the scene would be very exciting, and it would become a rich school history that would be talked about by later generations. If there was a name for this scene, it would definitely be Snape's Judgment Day!
Unfortunately, this was just an idea. If Professor McGonagall hadn't been here, maybe he would have really tried it. After all, it wouldn't be a big deal if Snape and Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, were injured. On the contrary, it would be a welcome sight.
"The password is correct! You are real...but why are you staying with someone pretending to be me?!"
Hope was surprised and asked in confusion.
After hearing what Hope said, the students were relieved. At least Professor McGonagall and Snape were not fake, but what was the situation now? Which Professor Quirrell was the real one?
"Because you are fake!"
Snape said coldly, but he did not rush to act.
""What?! I'm serious, haven't we met before?"
Hope said in surprise.
He knew in his heart that the situation was not favorable for him now, and it was only a matter of time before he was exposed, and this time might only be a few seconds, or it might be in the next second.
"No, you are a fake, we have confirmed it."
McGonagall took a step forward and said with certainty.
Without the real Quirrell saying anything, Snape and McGonagall gave him the location of the Golden Water. They didn't do it now, just because Hope hadn't shown any threat yet, so they were willing to talk about it.
"You must have made a mistake. Be careful, or he will attack you!"
Hope was so anxious that his face was sweating and flushed. He advised earnestly.
……
At this time, he had to give a thumbs up to his self-transformation ability. The reason why he could hold on most of the time without messing up was all due to his self-transformation. The sweat and red face at this moment were all the result of his self-transformation.
Seeing Hope's appearance, Mag couldn't help but show a trace of suspicion. The impostor's expression seemed to be a little real. Did they really make a mistake? The one next to him was the impostor?
Seeing Mag's expression, Hope was delighted.
"If you don't believe me, I will confront him. I have a way to prove that I am real!"
Hope said hurriedly. Now they could only force the situation of who was the real and who was the fake Monkey King.
McGonagall and Snape looked at each other and saw what was in each other's eyes. There was no harm in this for them. They turned to look at Quirrell, whom they trusted, and saw Quirrell nodded, obviously agreeing.
However, at McGonagall's request, Hope could only stay away from the students and walk from the position close to the professor's seat to the side of the auditorium entrance.
This process inevitably required walking past Snape, but fortunately Snape did not take this opportunity to curse him.
The positions were obviously adjusted, with the students crowding behind the professor's seat, while McGonagall and Snape stood in front of the students, facing the auditorium door.
The two Quirrells were close to the entrance of the auditorium, facing each other on the left and right.
"How do you prove it?"
Looking at Hope on the left, Snape asked coldly, without putting down his wand, and pointed it at Hope.
Hope suddenly showed a strange smile, but looked at Quirrell opposite, feeling a little uneasy under the pressure of his eyes.
"Aren't you always curious about the smell of me? In fact, I have already told you that I hid some garlic on my head to drive away vampires."
Hope reached out to the purple headscarf and took it off directly, revealing a few garlic cloves. He held the garlic steadily in his hand. These garlic cloves were secretly made by him using Galleons.
The students looked at this scene with shock on their faces, feeling that the mystery was finally solved.
At this moment, Quirrell on the opposite side had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He stared at Hope's eyes in disbelief, feeling that the other party knew something.
Mag and Spock naturally saw this look, and their brows immediately frowned. Quirrell looked very strange at the moment.
Hope raised his head proudly and said,"It's your turn"
"No... No! This is my privacy. You are fake. I will not take it off."
Quirrell's expression became very strange. He was afraid and resentful.
At this moment, Hope also had a sense of vigilance in his heart, ready to use the Apparition at any time.
"Look, he's exposed."
Huo Xi stared at Qi Luo, his lips curled up slightly. This was the last scene he had prepared, to find a scapegoat to take the blame for everything. As long as something bigger happened, no one would care about his affairs.
""No!"
Quirrell said excitedly.
A trace of suspicion flashed across Snape's eyes, and the direction of his wand had changed unconsciously, pointing at the real Quirrell.
"I think you have no choice!"
Snape stared at Quirrell and said coldly
"Professor Quirrell, this is a serious matter, so I need your cooperation. If it is as you said, I will apologize to you."
McGonagall also advised. If Quirrell's expression and look were not too abnormal, she might not really let Quirrell take off his turban for this matter. After all, there are more ways to prove it than just this one thing.
