Rubik’s Cube of Heavens - Chapter 123: Participation

Chapter 123: Participation

Professor Quirinus Quirrell, the new professor of ‘Defense Against The Dark Arts’ this year, graduated from Ravenclaw and House.

This professor was a more learned wizard. His class was very fresh, similar to Professor David in Coven’s first year. Both of them liked to use physical objects to assist in teaching in class.

Professor Quirrell was not an outsider, because, before this year, he had taught ‘muggle research’ in Hogwarts. This year, he was transferred to the course.

However, Professor Quirrell’s luck was rather bad.

Before school started this year, in order to be able to perfectly teach ‘Defense Against The Dark Arts’, Professor Quirrell deliberately went out for a vacation during the holidays, intending to accumulate practical experience in the field of ‘black magic defense’.

And his life also turned around. Under the threat of Voldemort outside, he finally became the humble servant of the other party and was attached to by the residual soul of Voldemort.

After returning to Hogwarts, Professor Quirrell seemed to have become a different person. Without the previous friendliness and cheerfulness, he began to become weak and helpless, and he seemed to be fearful and uneasy about everything around him.

Moreover, he was also wearing a headscarf. No matter what occasion it was, he had never taken it off because Voldemort’s remnant soul was attached to the back of his head.

Coven had already known about this situation on the first day of school, but he was too lazy to participate in the plot.

Rather than exposing the other party with a lot of future troubles, it was better to do nothing and just wait for the other party to be killed by the plot.

…….

After looking through the memories that automatically appeared in his mind because of the déjàvu, Coven came back to his senses and watched Professor Quirrell run to the professor’s seat in panic.

“Troll!” Professor Quirrell looked weak, staggering as he shouted, “There’s a troll in the classroom!”

At the same time as he shouted this, Professor Quirrell also stopped halfway and then weakly lowered his voice, “I thought I should inform everyone…”

After he finished speaking, Professor Quirrell simply rolled his eyes and directly fell unconscious to the ground. His movements were simply a bit exaggerated.

However, at this time, other than Coven, no one would pay attention to Professor Quirrell on the ground.

After hearing the warning, all the professors stood up with serious faces, and most of the students in the auditorium screamed in horror after a moment of silence.

George and Fred, who were sitting next to Coven, were different. Not only were they not nervous at all, but after looking at each other, their faces showed some eager excitement.

Yes, after all, they had seen how easy Coven was to deal with the monster with their own eyes, and they obviously wanted to try it out themselves at this time.

“Silence”

In the chaotic scene, Dumbledore shouted with an ‘amplification curse’, causing all the screams to disappear quickly, attracting the attention of the entire auditorium.

Seeing this, Dumbledore solemnly said loudly, “Everyone, don’t panic! Now! Prefects, bring the students back to the dormitory!”

Hearing this, the four House seniors quickly began to call their students.

Dumbledore saw that the situation was temporarily under control and nodded with satisfaction.

On the other side, Coven was mixed in the Gryffindor team and was about to go back to the dormitory through the back door of the auditorium when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“Coven! You stay.”

Coven turned to look and found that it was Professor McGonagall.

Coven was a little confused, but he still turned and walked quickly to the professor’s seat after leaving the team.

“Professor McGonagall, do you have any instructions?” Coven asked.

“It was Mr. Headmaster who asked me to greet you.” Professor McGonagall said worriedly, “The castle is too big. The professors don’t have enough people, so I hope you can help to patrol.”

Coven was stunned.

Professor McGonagall saw this and said, “You are only responsible for the inspection of the first floor!” she also added without any explanation, “Remember, don’t go to the basement. Also, if you encounter a monster, don’t do anything! Send a signal to gather the professors!”

“Did you hear me?”

Seeing that Coven was still in a daze, Professor McGonagall immediately patted Coven on the shoulder and repeated, “Remember! Don’t act without permission. Although we all believe in your strength, you just have to send us a signal at the first possible moment!”

“Yes! Yes, Professor!” Coven had already returned to his senses and quickly nodded.

“Okay, then be careful!”

After Professor McGonagall told him, she immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the underground classroom.

Soon, only Coven was left in the entire auditorium.

Looking around at the spacious auditorium, Coven thought for a moment and then walked quickly to the female toilet on the first floor.

Originally, he did not want to participate in any plot, however, he did not expect that Headmaster and the professors were so confident in his strength that they actually allowed him to participate in the inspection.

Since that was the case, then Coven might as well interfere. With the memory of the plot as a reference, he directly rushed to the female restroom.

…….

The distance was not very far. Coven did not take long to reach the female restroom entrance. He listened attentively. There was no movement from the monsters around him. There were only faint sounds of sobbing coming from the female restroom.

Coven knew that it was Hermione inside. Because she had been ridiculed by Ron behind the scene during the day, Hermione did not attend the banquet. She stayed in the toilet all afternoon and was sad alone.

It was not good to push the door open and go in, because the monster had not come here yet, so it was not easy to explain.

Moreover, Coven didn’t want to casually break the fetters of the main character’s group. If not for this huge monster crisis, the group of three would probably have dispersed.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Coven came up with an idea. He took out his wand and added a ‘Disillusionment Charm’ to himself, making himself invisible. Then, he added a combination of Sound Dispel Spell and the ‘eliminate smell curse’.

Coven waited at the door.

In less than five minutes, a heavy and slow sound of footsteps appeared, gradually approaching the female restroom.

At the same time, there were two other footsteps even further away, rushing over here.

However, just as the giant monster approached the female restroom entrance, the other two footsteps suddenly stopped.

Coven knew that Harry Potter and Ron had come.

At this time, the troll, which was very close to Coven’s stealth, suddenly stopped and sniffed with its two nostrils. Then, it directly bent down and entered the female toilet.

Coven followed the monster closely and also entered the female toilet. He saw Hermione walking out of a cubicle with her head lowered.

She sobbed slightly and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. Hermione was about to walk to the sink.

However, in the next moment, Hermione, who had her head lowered, finally found the huge shadow on the ground. Then she carefully raised her head and finally met the monster who was looking at her…
