Study Days at Hogwarts

His patience was reaching its limit, and I knew I couldn't stall for time and had to act quickly.

Quirrell warned himself in his mind.

A long time ago, Quirrell had secretly made many plans to invade Gringotts in preparation for successfully stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

On the last day of July, Quirrell got up very early, dressed in his usual clothes, and went to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.

He would go to the Leaky Cauldron every day and sit there for a while to hide his actions.

Quirrell told the bar owner Tom that he came to Diagon Alley to buy a new book about vampires. He would also buy a book about vampires later, creating an established fact and preventing others from breaking into Gringotts. The thief who steals must have a connection with himself. Otherwise, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he can only hide around to escape the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic and the pursuit of goblins.

Just after drinking a little wine, Quirrell noticed that the originally lively bar suddenly fell into silence. He followed people's gaze and saw Hagrid entering the bar with a thin boy, and casually introduced the boy to Tom.

This was the first time Quirrell met the famous Harry Potter.

It is said that the savior defeated the most powerful dark wizard when he was still a baby. No one knows how Harry Potter did it. However, to Quirrell, the savior didn't seem to be doing very well, and he looked rather...thin.

It was hard to imagine that Dumbledore would leave the famous Harry Potter to be raised by Muggles. This matter seemed strange to Quirrell.

Under Hagrid's introduction, Quirrell formally met Harry. The two shook hands and stammered a few words.

He plays his role very well.

Quirrell knew that the Dark Lord might let him find an opportunity to kill the savior while he was teaching at Hogwarts.

It is too easy to murder a child who knows nothing. Even the savior and the legendary Harry Potter is now just an eleven-year-old boy who knows nothing. So vulnerable to magic.

After Harry Potter left, everyone was still discussing his affairs, and Tom even generously offered to treat all guests present to have a drink for free in order to celebrate Harry Potter's return.

Quirrell naturally joined the celebration. After the celebration ended, Quirrell found an excuse to leave the bar and actually bought a new vampire-related book at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Then, he inadvertently turned into a tourist shop called Horror Tour in the corner, pretending to come to chat with the owner about the vampire castle in Transylvania.

In fact, the owner of this store has long been controlled by Quirrell using the Imperius Curse. He came here to wait for someone, who was his roommate at Hogwarts, a nasty guy who often made fun of him and played tricks on him.

Quirrell was going to use a compound potion to disguise himself as his former roommate and enter Gringotts. If the goblin found any clues, he would be in trouble.

Quirrell felt no pressure at all to frame the other party.

Naturally, Quirrell would not be stupid enough to enter Gringotts under his own identity. That would be too suspicious. With the help of the Imperius Curse and the compound potion, it would not be difficult for Quirrell to invade Gringotts.

Half an hour later, his roommate finally arrived.

Quirrell took the key handed over by the other party, drank the compound potion mixed with the other party's hair, disguised himself as the other party, and went to Gringotts to withdraw money.

The goblins didn't even suspect anything and led him into the underground cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, Quirrell made sure that no one was around, and immediately used the Imperius Curse to control the goblin who was leading the way.

As for the goblin who was originally controlled by him using the Imperius Curse, he was already driving another cart waiting for him at the predetermined vault. Quirrell took a large bag of Galleons from the vault, then took another car and went directly to vault No. 713 deeper in the cave.

Here’s an ad, I’m currently using the book-chasing app, [\\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app\\\\] to cache books and read aloud offline!

Everything went surprisingly smoothly, and the goblin quickly took him to vault No. 713 deep in the cave. Quirrell really didn't understand why no one had successfully stolen from Gringotts before?

Are those thieves too stupid?

He thought so.

He was about to obtain the Philosopher's Stone and receive the Dark Lord's reward.

As for how to leave here, the biggest problem is that Gringotts cannot apparate, so he has several plans for leaving.

Even if he does encounter trouble, he has already found a scapegoat.

An unlucky thief, this was Quirrell's carefully chosen target, to attract as much attention as possible to everyone.

If there is trouble when leaving here, Quirrell will give the bag of Galleons to the thief and modify his memory to divert everyone's attention.

Yes, he did it. As for the evidence, his wand is the evidence, the one Quirrell is using now.

"Open the vault!" Quirrell ordered the goblin beside him.

Fortunately, under the training of the Dark Lord, his attainments in the Imperius Curse were not low, otherwise he might have been in trouble.

The goblin stretched out his long fingers and knocked lightly on the door.

Quirrell had long ago learned from the goblin that no one other than the goblin was allowed to touch this precious vault under Gringotts that did not require a key, otherwise he would be immediately sucked in by the door and trapped directly. Can't get out of the door.

What does the Philosopher's Stone look like? He couldn't wait to get his hands on it.

However, when Quirrell focused his attention on the door in front of him, he was shocked to find that the goblin's body had actually sunk into the vault door.

what on earth is it?

Quirrell's brain was completely stunned, and a bad premonition came to his mind. He immediately thought of the reason: goblin magic!

That's right, fairy magic is required to open this door, and fairy magic can only be used by fairies, so only fairies can open this door.

hateful!

Originally, Quirrell wanted to take away the Philosopher's Stone quietly, but now he can only do this!

Fortunately, he already had several plans beforehand.

Quirrell was very angry. He knew that he had been tricked by the goblin in front of him who was stuck in the door. Even if he used Legilimency on him, an accident still happened.

A wisp of fire shot out from the tip of Quirrell's wand and landed on the vault door. The flames began to burn brightly on the metal door.

This is the Fire Curse.

A terrifying cursed flame that can easily destroy almost anything.

The goblin trapped in the door was quickly burned to death by the fierce fire, and the door of the vault was covered in flames, directly burning a hole.

Quirrell immediately recited a spell to extinguish the fire. He did not dare to let the flames spread, otherwise it might destroy the magic stone in the vault. What was worse was that once the fire spell spread, even he would not be able to control it.

The goblin's vault is nothing more than that.

Quirrell muttered, looking through the entrance of the vault and looking at the items placed in the vault, he was suddenly stunned.

The vault was empty, there was nothing.

The magic stone is missing!

Could it be that the goblin deceived him, or that he was a step too late and the Philosopher's Stone had already been taken away by Dumbledore?

Quirrell instantly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, his hands and feet feeling cold.

No, this is impossible!

At this moment, Quirrell panicked. He couldn't bear the consequences of failing to steal the Philosopher's Stone. He simply couldn't imagine how the Dark Lord would punish him. Maybe, he should run away, run away immediately, and go to Dumbledore for help?

Will Dumbledore help him?

Quirrell suddenly felt that his idea was very ridiculous!

is it possible?

He was just about to steal Dumbledore's Sorcerer's Stone stored in Gringotts.

Quirrell quickly woke up from his trance and knew that he had to leave here immediately.

Those goblins must have known that someone had invaded Gringotts, and he had to leave immediately, otherwise he would be blocked by the goblins.

I hope that the escape route I prepared will allow him to leave smoothly.

Quirrell looked at the other goblin beside him, got on the cart and quickly returned to the upper level.
