"No, Madam Pomfrey. I'm really fine. Pale, you say? No, I'm just a little sleep-deprived."
After Quirrell drank the antidiarrheal medicine handed to him by Madam Pomfrey, he made up an excuse to postpone the other party's proposal to give him a full body examination.
Quirrell was still possessed by Voldemort, so how could he dare to let the head nurse in front of him give him a full body examination
"You should listen to the therapist's advice. I can sense that you're not feeling well."
Madam Pomfrey looked Quirrell up and down, observing his condition. She was very dissatisfied with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Anyone who was not blind could tell from his pale face that Quirrell was ill. Moreover, Madam Pomfrey was a healer herself, so she could tell at a glance that Quirrell was in poor health.
"Really, no need." When Professor Quirrell turned around and prepared to leave, he noticed the stern look from Madam Pomfrey, and realized that the head nurse was about to stop him for a full-body check. Quirrell had to pretend to compromise, "Okay, but I still insist. I'm just a little sleep-deprived lately."
"You sit there and wait for a moment." When Madam Pomfrey went to get something, Quirrell's lips trembled slightly. Then he said, "Madam Pomfrey, the antidiarrheal medicine is very effective. I'll leave first."
"Oh, okay." Madam Pomfrey said dazedly, "If you find yourself feeling unwell, remember to come to me in time."
The head nurse was ultimately unable to give Quirrell a full-body check-up as she wished, because Quirrell secretly cast a Confusion Spell on her, preventing the head nurse from forcing the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts to stay in the school hospital for a full-body check-up.
Quirrell swore that he would never set foot in the school hospital again. He found that Madam Pomfrey was even more difficult to deal with than Snape in some matters.
If I hadn't thought of a quick solution just now, I don't know what would have happened.
Quirrell fled away from the school hospital, preparing to return to his office before the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to write and mail the letter to the smuggler.
After getting the dragon egg, the next step is to use the dragon egg to get the method to subdue the three-headed dog from Hagrid.
Quirrell even had a plan ready: he would pretend to be a smuggler of dragon eggs, and after getting Hagrid drunk, he would pretend to have a dragon egg that he needed to sell, and then before deliberately losing the dragon egg to Hagrid, he would ask Hagrid if he had any experience in raising magical creatures. He believed that after drinking, Hagrid would definitely not mind bragging to others about the secret of how he subdued the three-headed dog. Even if Hagrid didn't say it, Quirrell still had other ways to lure him into telling it.
Drunk guys are so easy to trick.
On his way back to his office, Quirrell passed three Slytherin first-years.
"This must be a conspiracy against Slytherin House. Otherwise, how could no one from other houses show symptoms of diarrhea except Slytherin students?" The voices of Malfoy and his companions involuntarily entered Quirrell's ears.
"Professor Snape has already started investigating this matter. Everyone suspects that it was done by someone from Gryffindor. Remember Kenneth from last time..."
Against Slytherin House
Quirrell looked at the three people's leaving backs and shook his head. He himself was not a Slytherin student.
Is it possible that someone is targeting me specifically
Quirrell actually didn't know that he had guessed correctly. Someone was indeed targeting him.
Just the day before yesterday, after Albert received the reward for the task of "Resolving Disputes" for resolving Slytherin students, he discovered that a task "Protect the Philosopher's Stone" had suddenly appeared in the task panel.
This mission most likely originated from a two-way mirror communication between Albert and Nicolas Flamel the day before yesterday.
Albert still remembers that he complained about Headmaster Dumbledore for not hiding the Philosopher's Stone properly, but instead putting it in an obvious place like the so-called "restricted area" in the school, which led to the panel task
Yes, that's right, the mission is to protect the Philosopher's Stone from being stolen by others.
Although Albert felt that this task came a little bit strange, he finally thought about it. According to the development of the plot, Quirrell would be stopped by Harry and unable to grab the Philosopher's Stone. Then this task must be completed, and the amount of reward would depend on the progress of the effort.
The reward was pretty good, but unfortunately the final reward was not the formula for the Philosopher's Stone, which made Albert a little disappointed.
Although the experience and skill points are very good, Albert does not intend to confront Voldemort for this. He thinks he does not have the protagonist aura like Harry, so when he saw the task, he had already decided to entrust this difficult task to Harry.
After all, he has money, friends, a girlfriend, and a happy life. He has no interest in stealing Harry's role and confronting Voldemort head-on.
Life has just begun, and it's good to be alive. There is really no need to take risks. Without the aura of the protagonist and without strong enough strength, it is easy to be taken away by Avada Kedavra if you try to steal the spotlight. Diggory in the Goblet of Fire is the best evidence.
However, Albert is not someone who will give up easily. If the open solution doesn't work, he can try secretly. There are many ways to protect the Philosopher's Stone from being stolen.
So, when Albert gave the bean powder to Peeves, he asked Peeves to add some to Professor Quirrell's food.
Peeves readily agreed, because Quirrell looked so easy to bully.
Then, it directly led to Professor Quirrell's diarrhea incident.
It turns out that weakening the enemy is also effective in protecting the Philosopher's Stone.
Although the task progress only increased by two percent, it is better than nothing.
Quirrell had no idea that the culprit who caused his diarrhea was still racking his brains to cause him trouble somewhere else.
Since Quirrell had diarrhea, other people in the school also started to show symptoms of diarrhea.
The diarrhea incident did effectively distract Snape's attention, leaving him with little time to keep an eye on Quirrell.
In the end, Peeves was blamed for this. Apart from the administrator Mr. Filch, who clamored to drive Peeves out of Hogwarts Castle, the professors in the school really had no way to deal with Peeves.
It is said that the ghost blood baron has talked to Peeves and asked him not to add bean powder to food. But these are just rumors, no one knows whether they are true.
Although there had been no other cases of diarrhea in the school since the news of the Bloody Barrow's visit to Peeves, everyone was still very careful when eating, fearing that Peeves would mix something strange into the food again.
No one wants to be the next Flint and Montague. These two guys are lying in the hospital beds with diarrhea and have now become the laughing stock of Hogwarts students after dinner.
Fortunately, they had been lying in the hospital beds at the school, so they didn't hear other people laughing at them with glee, otherwise they would have been so angry that they would have vomited blood.
