The Dark Lord at Hogwarts is not too cold

(Two in one, there is another chapter to add in the middle of the night)

Professor Quirrell didn't return to Cyrus's club for a while to give extra lectures. He always dodged a little, as if deliberately avoiding the crowd

Always running back and forth between the Forbidden Forest and the classroom, "I'm collecting some experience in fighting magical beasts..." he said so

But fortunately, he still answered the wizards' questions.

This Friday, after Cyrus and Hermione finished flying lessons, they ran into Professor Quirrell on the way back to the castle, and he was pulled over by him

In front of the House of Requirement, Quirrell, who had been avoiding the crowd for a long time, stood in front with Cyrus and Hermione. He walked back and forth three times in front of the white wall

"I need a room where wizards can duel"

This time the wooden door looked a bit worn out and old. When the door was opened, there were more decorative weapons on the stone wall inside the room, and a row of silver knight armor stood on the left and right sides, just like spectators watching the battle.

"Well... I have nothing more to teach you, black magic? Your understanding is enough, and theoretical knowledge is only a matter of accumulation and time, so let's do some practical combat this time."

Quirrell walked to the middle of the field and looked at them. This time he also pulled Ravenclaw's Hermione over. As an old senior, he also wondered how much Hermione could be called "Queen of Ravenclaw". powerful

He has seen the whole process of the troll being killed by her.

"Bow, and hold the wand in the correct posture." Quirrell put the wand on his chest with his right hand, and then bent slightly, "Don't be stunned, it's useless if you only have theory without actual combat."

He frowned, a little displeased.

Hermione took out her wand first, raised her head, and signaled Cyrus to stand aside and go first, so she imitated Quirrell's movements, and gracefully responded to Quirrell.

Then the muscles of the legs tensed up, the eyes looked at each other, and the knee joints were slightly bent

Quirrell stood there very casually, looking at Hermione with satisfaction in his eyes, able to quickly make dodging postures and concentrate... Quirrell can now understand why Dean Flitwick wants to put them Into the duel club

In terms of talent for magic spells, Cyrus is better, but in terms of sports and actual combat, Hermione seems to be more experienced, and her duel experience is all due to her previous boxing training

He was thinking of certain things while observing.

Now there are three colleges, only Slytherin has not been taught by him. Quirrell is a very vengeful person. If he was not careful, he would not have learned black magic to take revenge on some people.

Let them bully themselves, never teach them valuable knowledge

"Duel or countermeasures, the most important thing is to be flexible. Different scenes and different enemies correspond to different spells. You should make corresponding changes." He stammered

"fumos"

The smoke no longer looked as lingering as it did in class, but became thicker. Hermione cast a shattering spell the moment the smoke dissipated, and it covered the entire space

"Very...very smart, and attack after sensing something is wrong, but the countermeasures are not very clear." When the voice sounded, the repelling curse struck from the girl's left side

"finiteincantatem"

Hermione had already foreseen the direction of the attack, and the girl reacted just as the spell came out from Quirrell's wand, which surprised the professor a bit, knowing that she was casting the spell silently

But he didn't stop, but continued to attack three times, the first two were impediment spells, the last one followed closely, and the three attacks were in the shape of a character

"impedimento" "stupefy"

Then he used the Transfiguration Charm to turn a piece of armor into an iron chain, and moved silently and quickly towards Hermione against the ground.

Countermeasures?Quirrell's teaching reminded her that the correct guidance allowed Hermione to immediately make corresponding measures - "ventus (wind whirlwind)"

The whirlwind spread around the girl, dispelling a small area of ​​thick fog, revealing a faint figure of Quirrell

Then rolled to avoid three attacks, and when she stabilized her figure, the iron chain seized the opportunity to wrap around one of Hermione's legs. When she felt the cold touch of her calf,

The left hand held the iron chain empty, and when it was unable to make the next move, the original force roughly dismantled the iron chain into pieces, and finally restored it into armor with scattered parts everywhere.

"The Whirlwind Curse? Interesting" Quirrell praised a little, but he was sweating a little when he found her brutally breaking the Transformation Curse.

This is not like Ravenclaw's method!

But Quirrell has no intention of stopping. Apart from the previous sneak attack, the real purpose of the silent spell is to "deceive". Quirrell, who can be called a master of silent spells, knows the use of silent spells well.

The professor summoned ten woodpeckers with flocks of flying birds, flew to the target, and interfered with the sight of others while attacking

Says "reducto" but actually says "expelliarmus"

"Flying sand and rocks? Good magic, it's a good attack method, but it's not suitable for this situation." A bird blocked Hermione's attack with its body in front of Quirrell

The Crushing Curse and the Disarming Curse, both of which are red rays of light, but Hermione will choose to pick it up when she hears the Crushing Curse when she is under siege. This is another usage of the Silent Curse, which also uses the law of human reaction

But the wand didn't fly into Quirrell's hand, the antler-like rune "?" on Hermione's bracelet lit up, and the red light bounced off

Quirrell seemed to have discovered something, clapped his hands, and the woodpecker turned into green smoke and disappeared.

"Hmm... very good... the dueling experience is beyond the second grade or even most of the third grade, but when you meet a flexible wizard, you still have some short-circuits, and you haven't jumped out of the endless loop of using spells..."

Quirrell returned the vine wooden wand to Hermione and criticized her for some minor problems, but in general it still made his eyes shine.

He didn't ask if the bracelet was a product of alchemy, and whether it was or not, it was far beyond his expectations.

But Hermione frowned, thinking back to the process, the time when she encountered the troll was much stronger than her current force, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, maybe the more she practiced, the more she went back

'If I can be as strong as last time, at least I can draw...' she thought.

Suddenly, Quirrell frowned, pressed his temples, and his figure shook a bit.

"Professor, what's the matter?"

"It's...it's okay, it's Cyrus' time now," he said with a smile, patted Hermione's shoulder to comfort her, "Don't worry about it, you've surpassed many people."

Duel, he hasn't had a duel in ages, ha... this brings back some fun times for him

Then he turned his gaze to Cyrus, looking at his most proud student.

"Come on, Cyrus, let me see the fruits of your black magic"

The girl tidied her clothes, flattened her skirt, transformed into a chair, and sat on it with her legs crossed, resting and watching the upcoming battle

Now Hermione is somewhat resistant to some black magic, so only Cyrus is learning from Quirrell. He came to Quirrell, finished the dueling etiquette, and then started to get serious.

"Langlock (tongue lock)" Quirrell took advantage of the silent spell and took the lead in wanting to occupy the high ground

Cyrus uses "flipendo" to break up the attack, and then swings his wand, turning the armor behind the opponent into a brown bear

And Quirrell saw the trajectory of him waving his wand, turned sideways, and pointed his left hand at the waving brown bear. The dispelling and filling of magic power turned Cyrus' attack into Quirrell's attack method

The wand in the right hand puts an armor body in front of himself, and the brown bear turns into a Ravenclaw eagle, with sharp claws, and the locomotorwibbly (soft legs and soft feet) spell hidden behind him

The armor body showed a silver-white shield, but it could not be moved. Cyrus had always wanted to combine the transformation spell with the defense spell.

The wand turned into a half-handed sword—the enemy's fencing sword, which predicted the curse behind the eagle, so while slightly sideways to dodge in advance, he swung his arm upwards to cut off the eagle.

The Soft Legs Curse will make the target's legs weak, thus losing their mobility. It belongs to the scope of the curse. Cyrus doesn't know how powerful the opponent's curse is, so he avoids it cautiously.

The corners of Quirrell's eyes twitched, feeling that he could no longer keep up with the changes of the times. Are wizards popular in close combat now?

Cyrus dodged several successive attacks, held the enemy's fencing sword at his waist with both hands, and ran straight towards Quirrell.

"Melee combat? This is a good way, if placed in ancient times"

A powerful cyclone emerged around Quirrell, and the wind pressure forced Cyrus back, easily defusing the attack.

"The armor is flying!" Cyrus turned a pair of silver and white iron armor into a fencing sword, flew to his left hand, and replaced his right hand with a magic wand, and blazing flames emanated from the tip of Cyrus' wand

The pendant on the boy's body was activated, and the tiny rune "?" glowed faintly behind the pendant. Unlike Hermione's bracelet, the pendant was of the augmented type

Dumbledore recorded the use of this rune in that book, and Hermione studied it for a month and could only make an indirect increase, not a direct increase that was integrated into the spell.

The flame turned from yellow to red, and the blazing fire turned into a falcon, which made a hunting call. The pendant presented by Hermione made Cyrus' flame curse even more

Quirrell is a little numb, and the use of runes is also bad?He kept admonishing himself in his heart, this is just a single example, not the majority of people

But he was still a little envious, and suddenly a weak voice came from his head: "Use... black magic... kill him and you will be the strongest..."

Cyrus, who held a sword in one hand and waved a wand in the other, suddenly felt something was wrong. His intuition was like countless needles pricking his scalp continuously.

The powerful confringo (thunderbolt explosion) exploded in front of the flames, and the air pressure produced dissipated some of the rushing Firehawk, and then fired three consecutive rounds with many obstacles

The strong impact makes the flame dissipate.

Cyrus followed the hawk, and the moment the flames died down, he rushed out and slashed at the defensive spell in front of Quirrell,

"avadakedavra (Avada Kedavra)!!"

Quirrell yelled, and Hermione stood up suddenly, holding the wand in his hand, no longer caring about the so-called duel, and tried his best to attack Quirrell at the moment——flying sand and flying stones

Cyrus was also taken aback, and immediately tilted his head, the attack flew by his ear, hit the ground, and cut a piece of debris in half

And Quirrell was also knocked away by Hermione's sudden attack. The explosion was blocked by the armor body, but the impact knocked him into the air, and the back of his head hit the wall heavily.

Quirrell looked dazed, and it took a long time for his lifeless eyes to come back to his senses

"Professor! You..."

"It's...it's okay..." Quirrell smiled, waved his hands, and stood up while leaning on the wall, "Cyrus, you are great"

Even without Hermione's attack, that sword would have cut him off, knocking him into the air, and Quirrell seemed a little dejected.

"Professor Quirrell, how can you use it! The Unforgivable Curse!!" Hermione ran over aggressively, looked at Cyrus, and shouted at Quirrell

"The professor used the cutting spell..." "That won't work either!" Hermione protected him behind her, staring at Quirrell.

"Sorry...I just wanted to make a joke." Quirrell's apology did not dissipate the girl's anger, but he still said to the two: "I don't have much to teach, the rest is up to you... .”

Quirrell panted slightly and smiled, this time the smile was not distorted, but Cyrus knew that the professor hadn't used his full strength, not even using the wandless spell

Obviously he knew what Cyrus was thinking, after all, he had followed him for a long time, "We are just dueling, not fighting to the death, Cyrus...you have to remember..."

He glanced back and forth at the wrists and necks of the two, and continued: "Remember, in a real...fight, you must do your best, especially when there is a huge difference in strength."

"Go, uh~ I haven't exercised for a long time, let me take a break." He smiled at Hermione, not angry because of her sudden intervention, but a little happy

"Stick to your choice...Hermione...Persistence is the most precious thing"

Although Hermione was very angry, but after all, she was angry because of fright. She just pulled Cyrus to bend slightly to thank Quirrell, and then went to the library to make a summary

You must know that they still have a semester of confinement tonight.

Quirrell lowered his head, thinking of Cyrus and Hermione, and smiled in relief

"Qi Luo, you...you don't even dare to kill people...you can't go for a long time." The weak voice began to circle in his mind again, "If...you can't win the other party...you have to do it for me get rid of...you know"

"Yes...Master...but I just almost killed Harry last time, Dumbledore... already suspected me"

"crucio (cruciate)..."

Professor Quirrell lay in the empty room and screamed in pain, "Master...Master spared me...I found the unicorn"

After hearing him stammering, the heart-piercing pain gradually eased and finally disappeared.

"Maybe...it's because I've been silent...for too long, making you forget who gave you the power!"

"I have not forgotten...is the master....is the great master"
