Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Just like a child poking an ant with a stick, Bourne used the bat "Triple Speed" as a small stick to poke the unconscious Quirrell.

"Did he faint from anger?"

Then he raised his hands and looked obediently at the two professors McGonagall and Snape who hurried over.

"I promise, Professor Quirrell was definitely not knocked unconscious by a Bludger."

"Mr. Slughorn."

Professor McGonagall ordered: "Go and celebrate the victory with your teammates. Let our professor handle the matters here."

Translated, this means: You little wizard, don't cause trouble, just go away.

Bourne obeyed the advice, got on his broomstick and ran towards the exit of the arena.

Although he didn't get the expected bonus points for "rescuing people", it at least confirmed where the two-faced professor used the blood of the Peruvian Venom Fang Dragon he bought.

This wave is not a loss.

A few days later, in the trophy room, Byrne shared his discovery with a few of his "teammates."

Peeves exclaimed: "So, that stupid Quirrell actually drank the fire dragon's blood directly?"

"Yes."

Bourne nodded firmly.

He also added: "It's just that after he drank the fire dragon's blood mixed with swelling potion, his body actually swelled like that, which is somewhat unexpected."

"But it's also a good discovery."

Fred said with a smile and glanced at his brother.

George immediately understood what Fred was thinking, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Really an interesting new idea."

Well, these two fun-lovers once again associated the application of this discovery with the field of pranks they are most familiar with and concerned about.

Only Mr. Sherlock in the magic portrait, because he was a fairly knowledgeable wizard during his lifetime, understood what Bourne wanted to express.

Generally speaking, swelling potion is a kind of external magic potion. It is a common first aid method for wizards: when a wizard is bitten by a poisonous magical creature, or is poisoned due to trauma due to other reasons, he can apply it immediately Swelling agents work in such a way that toxins are temporarily concentrated in the swollen area.

Using this first aid method can prevent toxins caused by trauma from spreading throughout the body, thereby preventing the poisoned person from being poisoned to death.

This agent works by contact with the skin. In other words, if you accidentally take the swelling potion, the things that will become swollen should be the wizard's tongue, lips, throat, esophagus, or at most the intestines and stomach, and...

As for Professor Quirrell, after drinking the spiked fire dragon blood, he inflated into a balloon as a whole.

"This means that when drinking the fire dragon's blood, Quirrell might be casting some kind of spell. Therefore, the fire dragon's blood, which is rich in magic power, carried the swelling potion and spread throughout his body, causing him to swell into a A balloon.”

Although he did not go to the scene to watch the Quidditch match, the great detective still reconstructed some scenes at that time through reasoning and interpretation of clues.

Then, they shared some information after the first game of the Quidditch League——

Quirrell was finally rescued.

The person who saved him was Snape.

After several attempts to break the curse failed, the Potions Master slapped his forehead and realized that he might have been blinded by the lamp.

Anyway, he already knew that Quirrell was suspected of being a Death Eater. In the spirit of "it doesn't hurt to give it a try", before Madam Pomfrey came, he poured a bottle of "Shrinking Potion" into Quirrell who fainted without permission. ".

As a result, he didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

After taking a bottle of magic potion, Quirrell, who had inflated into a balloon, was transformed back to his original shape. And Quirrell woke up immediately and kept saying: I'm fine, I can still hold on, I will definitely be able to do it...

He even refused to be inspected by Madam Pomfrey, which made the old woman very dissatisfied that even Principal Dumbledore did not dare to offend.

And the next day, even though Quirrell was tied up like a mummy, he still insisted on teaching the young wizards a lesson in black magic protection.

It is a medical miracle.

And this also made Snape, who had always had thoughts about this course, even more dissatisfied, so much so that he wanted to use a time turner to go back in time and give himself a big blow.

However, when Quirrell was in class, many young wizards noticed that while he was teaching, he took the time to drink the "magic potion" he brought several times.

According to him, this is a specialty he bought while traveling in the East, and it is particularly suitable for nourishing the body.

Sister Patil from India directly declared: "This must be the holy water flowing in the Ganges River, clean and hygienic."

However, Hufflepuff's Justin felt that this was not necessarily an Indian specialty.

"Maybe it's from Japan," he said. "I've seen one of their specials, and it's full of monsters with great bodies. Maybe they drink this specialty product."

All in all, it has everything.

But what is intriguing is that the little wizards only discuss these matters. No one carefully scrutinizes who "drugged" Quirrell, but even Principal Dumbledore did not investigate the matter seriously.

On the one hand, it's because Quirrell has been actively avoiding it and has a very negative attitude; on the other hand, it's because this matter is really difficult to investigate.

The culprit behind Quirrell's transformation into a balloon, according to Snape's speculation, was probably some kind of inflation potion that went wrong during the brewing process.

However, the little wizards in the first and fifth grades (this potion is included in the OWLs exam) have all made this potion in class not long ago, and they all brought their results back to the dormitory.

In other words, the first and fifth grade wizards are all suspects!

This is difficult to check.

Some young wizards who like conspiracy theories speculate that an unnamed old wizard may think that the position of "Defense Against the Dark Arts" is a "consumer", so since Professor Quirrell has no big problems, then naturally there is no need for it. Study deeply.

However, a few people in the trophy room (plus a ghost and a magical portrait) don't see it that way.

Dumbledore had been "walking the bird" frequently before, and they had vaguely guessed that the principal probably also had some doubts about Quirrell.

Dumbledore probably did not take action to clear up this hidden danger because he lacked evidence and was unable to characterize Quirrell's behavior.

After all, Quirrell is an official professor who has signed the Hogwarts Magical Contract, and it is true that this guy showed some tricks, but not all.

This is more difficult to do.

The Weasley twins and Mr. Sherlock chatted for a while, and they were discussing what they should do next: continue to stimulate Quirrell and let him reveal more tricks? Or simply report everything they know so far to Dumbledore and let the wise old man make his own judgment.

As for why the twins and Sherlock were mainly discussing it, it was because the other two members of the small team had different opinions.

Peeves feels that there is no need to talk about "the rules of the world" when dealing with "evil ways" like Quirrell, and he should just hit hard.
