Chapter 186 Quirrell’s Little Thoughts
After breakfast, Ada, Fred, and George went to class. The first class in the morning was Professor Flitwick's Charms.
Professor Flitwick is one of the more benevolent teachers at Hogwarts. He will not often emphasize classroom discipline, nor will he care about students sleeping in class (if you can sleep), as long as you do not disturb his normal behavior Professor Flitwick will turn a blind eye to you while teaching.
If all the students looked absent-minded, Professor Flitwick would not continue teaching. Instead, he would lead everyone to play some magic games or tell some interesting things to arouse everyone's enthusiasm, and then start teaching again.
The content of this spell lesson is the Happy Spell, a spell that can improve the mood of a creature and a spell that can make people feel happy. Professor Flitwick first explained the incantation of the Happy Spell and the key points of reciting the incantation, and then broke down the method of waving the wand. Under his leadership, the students also began to wave the wand and recite the incantation.
Ada's performance in class has always been very good, but today she is not as good as before, as if she fell from the sky back to the earth. The fatigue from not sleeping all night kept rising, and Ada just wanted to cope with it. When everyone was free to practice, she would lie down on the table and sleep for a while.
Compared with Transfiguration, Charms is much simpler and not as rigorous as Transfiguration. Professor Flitwick is also famous for his good temper. It doesn't matter if he wanders off, gets distracted, or falls asleep in his class.
Professor Flitwick corrected the students' mistakes one by one. He also noticed Ada's inactivity, but Professor Flitwick did not ask. In his opinion, everyone was lazy sometimes, and Ada occasionally It's okay to slack off once, as long as it doesn't happen all the time.
When the students began to practice freely, the whole classroom was filled with the sound of waving wands and chanting spells, and the classroom became a sea of joy. However, Ada and the twins did not swim in this ocean of joy. The three of them lay down neatly on the table and quickly fell asleep. Fortunately, none of them snored, otherwise they would be too disrespectful to Professor Flitwick. .
The three of them slept until the end of get out of class. If Angelina and Li Qiaodan hadn't woken them up, they might have stayed asleep. Rubbing her numb arms, Ada stood up. After sleeping for a while, it made her even more sleepy. She wandered all the way to the auditorium with Fred and George, and then wandered all the way to the classroom after lunch. , a Defense Against the Dark Arts class that was more suitable for sleeping. Quirrell couldn't teach anything anyway, so it was better to catch up on some sleep.
Angelina and Aaliya looked at the sleepy Ada. They knew that Ada definitely left the dormitory last night after the two fell asleep and stayed outside for a long time, otherwise she would not be so sleepy. After living in the same dormitory for three years, they had become accustomed to not being able to see Ada when they occasionally got up at night. At the beginning, I would ask Ada what she did last night, but later I stopped asking. If she could tell, Ada would share it during the chat. If she couldn't, then asking would be in vain.
The twins were already lying down, but Ada was not yet. She was fiddling with her gold-rimmed glasses. Ada has had this pair of glasses for two years, but she still doesn't know what they do. Ada only thinks of them when covering dark circles under her eyes. Whenever she wears this pair of glasses, Ada will look a little less heroic, and even her eyes will feel softer, making her look like a weak and gentle girl.
When class was about to begin, Quirrell appeared at the door of the classroom. He carefully looked into the classroom and saw that no one was paying attention to him. Then he walked into the classroom and stood in front of the podium.
This behavior of Quirrell caused the students to burst into laughter, and Quirrell also laughed, but the smile was indescribably awkward and forced. Compared with when he first started school, Quirrell lost a lot of weight and looked paler. He seemed to have suffered a lot. This sick appearance also made him look more pitiful. However, he was asking for all this trouble and could not blame others. .
The class bell rang, and Quirrell began his more embarrassing teaching. It was uncomfortable for him to speak, and the students were also uncomfortable to hear it. They were each tormented by the other. Ada took off her glasses and lay on the table again. Even though the class started to get a little noisy, she fell asleep quickly.
Quirrell pretended to stop the students from making noise and maintain classroom discipline, but no one listened to his words, and he never gained the respect of the students. No matter how noisy the students were, he continued to teach, but his eyes drifted towards Ada who was sleeping.
On Halloween, Quirrell put the troll into the school just to cause chaos and give himself a chance to approach the corridor on the right hand side of the fourth floor. Unfortunately, just when he was about to go in, Snape came and disrupted his good deeds. Quirrell hid aside and did not let Snape find him. Just when he thought the three-headed dog would bite Snape to death, Ada and the twins also came. They not only rescued Snape, but also treated Snape. Nap had no doubts.
All this fell in Quirrell's eyes. He hated Snape for ruining his good deeds, and he also hated Ada for trusting Snape. From then on, he knew that Snape's existence would affect his plan. He needed to find a way to delay Snape, preferably to defeat Snape, so that his plan could continue. .
In class, Quirrell looked at Ada lying on the table. He did not expect that in addition to Snape, this girl who was very famous among the students would also be a stumbling block on his way to success. Every time he saw the look in her eyes, Quirrell felt as if he had been seen through by her. The mocking look in her eyes made him think that he was a clown! When the plan succeeds, Quirrell must make this girl pay for her own stupidity!
Ada, who was having a sweet dream, did not expect that a pot would be placed on her head. This pot came from the big boss of this school year. If Ada knew about it, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged. She could swear to Merlin that the way she looked at Quirrell was definitely not mocking. It was because he had a guilty conscience and she just thought Quirrell was a fool.
Quirrell's tricks that he thought were clever were able to deceive Harry, Ron, and Hermione who were inexperienced in the world. As long as they thought more and asked more, they would not be deceived. Except for those who don't care about this matter, no one in the school thinks there is something wrong with Quirrell. People who know the inside story are paying attention to Quirrell's performance, hoping that his performance can be more exciting. Only Quirrell himself was still complacent about his superb acting skills and perfect plan.
Time is always full of fog. For example, Ada only felt that she had closed her eyes for two minutes, but when she opened her eyes, the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts section was over. Everyone was packing their things and leaving the classroom with their friends. Quirrell stood on the podium awkwardly watching each student leave. No one said hello to him, only first-year Harry and Rowe. Well, Hermione would be kind to him and give him a supportive and encouraging smile.
Ada, who had packed her things, was about to leave, but she felt the malice in Quirrell's eyes when he looked at her. Ada stopped and asked Quirrell: "Is something wrong?"
There is no honorific, which is a very impolite question. When Ada hates Snape the most, she will call him Professor Snape because Snape's abilities are worthy of her respect. But Quirrell has shown nothing respectable. The last thing he should be is serving as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. This kind of misleading behavior makes Ada more annoying than the bad things he does.
"No...nothing," Quirrell stammered, "nothing...nothing at all."
"If nothing happens, I'll leave." Ada glanced at Quirrell again before leaving. She knew that she was right, but Quirrell couldn't admit it. The eyes he looked at the students were full of malice, which was inconsistent with Chilo's harmless persona, which meant he could collapse buildings.
Quirrell watched Ada leave with a smile. He felt a little strange, because the way Ada looked at him was a little different from the past, not so sharp, but much softer.
It can only be said that Quirrell is overthinking again. If Ada really injured Filch last night, then today he will know how capable this stumbling girl is.
