Chapter 81: The Return of Quirrell
(ps, some readers gave negative feedback on the plot at the end of the last chapter. Although Ya Ya is a bad author, he is also a serious person. You can feel it from my usual writing. So I made some changes. I will try not to do such plots that make book friends uncomfortable in the future. This wave is mine (smiley face))
With the strength of Rolf and Newt, it is not difficult to catch a snake girl Nagini.
Rolf successfully got the gift of Parseltongue, but when he tried to communicate with Nagini further, she ignored him.
Rolf wanted to know how Voldemort brainwashed Nagini to make her so loyal. With such ability, what magical creature could not be tamed?
Since he couldn't get Nagini's heart, Rolf had to force her. He forced her to bite a stick every day to collect precious snake venom.
Nagini's snake venom is an excellent magical material whether it is used to prepare mixed toxins or as medicine.
Since Nagini was caught, Newt decided to take her back to the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary.
The Albanian Ministry of Magic was so happy that they almost slid on their knees outside the bunker. After all, the dragons flew over the forest every day, and they were afraid of them.
Red also paid Newt a high fee. He asked the Ministry of Magic for more money, but it was 70% to 30%... no problem.
Rolf also received a thank-you payment. Red firmly believed that the boy persuaded Newt to leave, otherwise Newt would definitely not leave.
Rolf told Red that since the Albanian Ministry of Magic asked them to leave, it meant that the matter was over and it was completely resolved.
If there were any problems in the forest in the future, it would have nothing to do with them. If they wanted them to come again... they would have to pay more, a lot of money.
Rolf was to prevent possible disputes in the future. After all, in a few months, Voldemort, who could not steal the Philosopher's Stone, would have to return to the Albanian forest.
Red agreed immediately. He only wanted Scamander to leave now. He believed that the forest had returned to peace, and he would never invite Scamander again!
As the holiday was coming to an end, Rolf took the Orient Express back to England.
Although he didn't run into the Weasleys this time, Ms. Grey still pestered him, as if she had him in her hands.
Rolf had no good way to resist, after all, you can't kill a ghost that has already died!
As for resurrecting Helena... If Rolf had this ability, why would he go to school? He would have gone to travel the world with a "staff" and walked sideways in the magic world.
Rolf had never heard of magic that could revive ghosts.
Voldemort was indeed resurrected, but Tom had a reason. I have several Horcruxes, and I can't die even if I want to.
Helena, you have become a ghost and have been dead for almost a thousand years. Are you qualified to talk about resurrection?
Through the conversation with Helena, Rolf also became interested in the secrets of the Big Four during that era. Slytherin ran away, Gryffindor disappeared, and Ravenclaw seemed to have died unclearly.
The voice of the mysterious witch made him even more concerned.
It's a pity that Helena didn't know much, and it seemed that he could only ask Professor Binns for more details.
Back at platform 9?, Rolf, Hermione and Neville reunited and boarded the express train again to Hogwarts.
Sitting in the carriage, Neville asked, "Rolf, did you receive my gift in Albania?"
"Yes." Rolf nodded and said, "A very useful broom repair kit, and Hermione's first aid kit... I also used it."
Hermione was reading a book, holding a bright red feather pen in her hand to take notes. She looked up and said nervously, "Are you injured?"
"No, I hurt her when I was catching a snake." Rolf explained, "Do you like the gift I gave you?"
"I like it very much." Hermione raised the feather pen in her hand, her face full of joy that could not be concealed.
Neville was also very satisfied. He grinned and said, "I reclaimed a piece of land in my grandmother's greenhouse and planted those herbal seeds."
Rolf smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Hermione blinked and suddenly asked, "Rolf, do you remember what I asked you to do?"
The boy looked confused and said, "What is it?"
Hermione puffed up her lips and said, "You promised to get an autograph for me, the autograph of Mr. Newt Scamander."
Looking at Rolf's shocked expression, Hermione narrowed her eyes and said, "You didn't forget it, did you? "
"How is that possible? Of course I remember it." Rolf seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and forced a smile and said, "I put the book in the box. There are a lot of things. I'll give it to you later."
The girl glanced at him suspiciously, blinked her eyes and said, "No, I'm afraid you will write your name to me later."
Rolf pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a wronged look, "Hermione, do I look like someone who would do such a thing? Believe me, I'll give you the book tomorrow, and it must have my grandfather's signature."
"Not like, you are such a person!" Hermione said firmly. "You must have forgotten to ask for a signature, so you want to write one for me yourself."
"Then I'll take out the book now. What if there's a signature on it?" Rolf seemed to be pretending to be calm, and his smile was a bit far-fetched. He said, "Do you dare to bet?"
Hermione hesitated. She stared into the boy's eyes, crossed her arms, and snorted, "Bluffing, let's bet! Two Galleons! Come on!"
Rolf sat in the chair and refused to move. At Hermione's urging, he sighed and took the black leather suitcase from the shelf. The boy turned the button, opened the box, and picked up a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
Hermione grabbed the book from Rolf's hand and quickly turned to the title page. She saw two different names written on it with a quill pen:
Newt Scamander
Rolf Scamander
Hermione rolled her eyes at Rolf gently, put the book on her chest, and whispered:
"I thought you forgot to ask for it for me. Didn't I tell you that I don't want your signature? Why are you so shameless in writing it?"
"You take care of me." Luofu bared his teeth habitually, showing his bright and straight teeth. He leaned back on the chair and said with a smile:
"You lost another two galleons to me, so hurry up and pay for it."
The girl puffed up her cheeks angrily, and finally hummed: "I will win it back sooner or later!"
"Hermione, my grandma said gambling is not good, so I advise you to give up." Neville reminded in a low voice: "You can't beat Rolf, and you won't be able to win in this life. Don't lose yourself one day."

When they arrived at Hogsmeade Station, the tall Hagrid was holding an oil lamp and waiting for the first-year students in the cold wind. He clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, everyone, follow me."
The first-year wizards still have to enter the castle from the Black Lake tonight, and cannot take the carriage like the senior students.
The ice on the Black Lake has not yet melted, and the magic boat cannot pass. The students can only walk across the thick ice.
Rolf, Hermione and Neville were still carefully hiding in the crowd, fearing that a mermaid would suddenly appear and claim that they had knocked it unconscious.
Fortunately, the ice sealed the Black Lake, and no mermaid was seen.
After entering the Great Hall, Rolf waved towards the Ravenclaw table, and then walked towards the Hufflepuff table with Neville.
On the first night of school, everyone saw Professor Quirrell again.
Professor Quirrell's injuries seemed to be almost healed, but he was extremely thin and his face was yellow, as if he was malnourished.
Still wearing a scarf, he sat next to Professor Snape like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.
At Professor Dumbledore's signal, everyone clapped and welcomed Quirrell's return.
Professor Snape kept staring at Quirrell, with a sneer on his face.
That's his Defense Against the Dark Arts position...his!
