Recently, Jon had always felt that Professor Quirrell was absent-minded when he attended the Defense Against Black Magic class.
As one of the classes that Jon had to attend, the reason why Jon attended this class was partly because he wanted to monitor Professor Quirrell's recent movements while attending the class.
As for the Defense Against Black Magic, he didn't really need to learn it.
These defensive spells were all derived from the war spells that Helga had taught him. With the current magical environment recovering day by day, Jon had even tried to cast the initial version of the war spells a few times this semester.
Although the power was not satisfactory, at least he could cast them, and there was no need to make any improvements.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with improving the magic.
For Helga, this witch had simplified the spells that she could cast in the past, and reduced the power, so that Jon could cast them in the current magical environment. For Professor Flick, these improved spells increased the power of the existing spells, and at the same time, the casting method was not so complicated.
However, this professor did not usually study the magical environment, and did not have the keen perception of the environment like the legendary Wizard, so he actually did not know that the spells that Jon had "sold" to him were more powerful and more convenient than the current popular versions of the spells because the current magical environment was recovering. Even ordinary spells would be much more powerful than before, not to mention these improved and simplified war spells.
After all, war spells pursued efficiency and power in the first place. Casting spells quickly and being powerful was the most basic requirement of war spells.
However, under the dual effect of all the professors' deliberate concealment, and Hufflepuff's current school motto of "keeping a low profile", Hufflepuff's students generally carried out the style of making a fortune in silence. On the surface, no one could see how outstanding they were.
But Jon knew, because he was the one who asked Hufflepuff Academy to develop the test-oriented education system in the Magic Research Society.
Not to mention other things, these things were still somewhat useful in specialized examinations. It was suitable for sudden revision and allowed all students to pass.
While popularizing exam-oriented education, the members of the Academy's Presidium did not give up on quality-oriented education. Every semester, the members of the Academy would have their magical strength tested regularly. If any student fell behind, they would receive help from other students.
"But did you notice that Professor Quirrell's face seems to be paler recently? And when he speaks in class, he seems to be weak."
During the class break, Eddie quietly leaned on the table and whispered to Jon while Professor Quirrell was not around.
The Defense Against Black Magic class on Wednesday afternoon was attended by Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Beside Jon was not only Stephen, but also Eddie and Ben.
Although the two Academies were divided, there was still a border.
"Recently, Professor Quirrell, have these kinds of unnatural situations happened frequently?"
Eddie and Ben were now considered as non-staff members of the Hufflepuff Magic Research Society. It was interesting to say that at the beginning, the Ravenclaw exchange students who came to the Society were not affected by the Society. Instead, it was Eddie who secretly acted as a go-between in Ravenclaw and recruited more than a dozen students to help Jon secretly gather information.
Of course, they only thought that it was gossip among the students. They did not expect Eddie to gather all the information together and give it to Jon.
"It's okay, but during this period, we often see Professor Quirrell going in and out of the common room and in front of Professor Flick's office. He seems to be looking for Professor Flick for a lot of things, but this is normal. After all, he is a graduate of Ravenclaw, so he will be closer to Professor Flick."
Eddie gave a seemingly reasonable reason, but Jon did not think so.
If graduates of every school were to get close to their dean, it wouldn't be after they became colleagues.
Obviously, they were already colleagues, yet they still had to be very respectful to another person. This was a very uncomfortable thing.
Jon himself did not feel uncomfortable about this, but if the other party was Quirrell, then he would have to consider it carefully.
An outstanding graduate who became a follower of Voldemort for unknown reasons must have had some problems with his interpersonal relationships or living environment.
Otherwise, how could a student who was studying in Hogwarts during the Dark Devil's era suddenly become a follower of the Dark Devil after so many years?
The Muggle would not suddenly become bad for no reason. The Wizard was naturally the same. He would not suddenly become evil for no reason.
Although Jon did not like the Holy See, he had to admit that the Seven Deadly Sins in the Holy See's teachings were indeed flaws in human nature.
"He is looking for a way to break through Professor Flick's defense."
Break time was quickly over. After class resumed, Professor Quirrell stood on the podium. In his seat, Jon wrote a line of words on a piece of paper and pushed it to Stephen.
Soon, Stephen finished writing his reply and pushed the note back to him.
"That's right, as a graduate of Ravenclaw, what he understands the most and has the least chance of breaking through is probably the defense set up by Professor Flick."
"However, Professor Flick should be able to handle it. We don't need to worry too much. Looking at Quirrell, the burden of the Dark Devil has been getting heavier and heavier recently."
The two began to communicate with each other on the note.
Stephen did not know much about Quirrell being possessed by Voldemort, so he naturally could not imagine where Voldemort was hiding in Quirrell's body.
However, Jon was very clear about this scene. When he thought of Voldemort behind Quirrell's head, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, he could only stop thinking about it and shift his attention to other serious matters.
After class, Jon and Stephen called Fran and Scully, who were in the back row, and the four of them went to eat dinner together.
"I have something to do during the Easter holidays, so I won't be able to accompany you."
Seeing that there were only a few days left before Easter, Chown told them.
"Look at what you're saying. You rarely accompany us. If we didn't look for you, we would only see each other during class. Don't you feel guilty saying that?"
