George and Fred forced their expressions to remain normal. Although their expressions were stiff, they were still within the limit where they seemed to be doing bad things but were caught.
In other words, subconsciously, they put on their most familiar expressions.
Luke, on the other hand, immediately activated Occlumency and completed the mental construction almost instantly.
"Nothing, Professor. We didn't say anything."
Luke looked like someone had discovered his little secret. He spoke with some embarrassment.
Quirrell had a gentle smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Luke, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. If possible, I will help you accordingly."
His tone was so gentle that Luke even felt like he was seeing Dumbledore.
As Li De entered, the smell of garlic from Quirrell's body was overwhelming to the twins. The two of them were already breathing as little as possible at this time.
Luke concentrated on feeling Quirrell's emotions with all his strength.
As his attention focused, Luke felt that he could vaguely see something like colored dust floating around Quirrell.
Dark red dust, the color of solidified blood.
But Luke had no reason to know that this meant contempt.
Fortunately it was just contempt. Rather than a more terrifying hostility. In other words, the conversation between them was not heard much by Quirrell, no, Voldemort.
Luke was a little embarrassed and said: "Professor, I was teased by Peeves once before, and I was wondering if I could teach Peeves a lesson."
"And George and Fred asked me to ask Bloody Barrow directly, saying that he should help me. But I don't think this is a long-term solution. So I want to tell Professor Dumbledore about the matter, and then get it from him A little help.”
Luke was extremely sincere when he said this.
And the strong psychological qualities that George and Fred developed in many pranks also allowed them to recover in time.
"Dumbledore won't help you for such a trivial matter." Fred looked distressed. "He will only let you face Peeves bravely."
"Maybe he has already used Peeves as a tool to train students." George expressed his suspicion with evil intentions.
Luke secretly sighed that his vision in choosing teammates was really good. Have strong psychological quality and be able to recover in time to help. Of course, there must be reasons why they don't know Quirrell's true identity at this time.
What's more important is that his ability to observe words and emotions is really strong. With just a little hint, the two of them started to get angry at Dumbledore. Following this line of thinking, there shouldn't be any big problems today.
Sure enough, when the twins finished saying bad things about Dumbledore, Quirrell smiled without a trace on his face.
Although it was only a subtle change in expression, the change from dark red dust to bright red in Luke's eyes was unmistakable.
In other words, he is in a good mood now.
"Dumbledore may not be so friendly to you, Luke." Quirrell said in an almost gentle tone. "He has always been unfriendly towards students who have great ambitions and want to change the status quo."
"We can understand the stubbornness of an old man. He is too old and no longer wants to see any changes in the world he is familiar with that he cannot adapt to."
"And you, Luke, your speech at the dinner showed that you're a kid who thinks that. He's not going to like you."
Luke made a surprised expression at the right moment.
Quirrell patted Luke on the shoulder: "But I admire you very much. Although your ideas are still very childish, children's ambitions should not be strangled in the cradle."
"You want to deal with Peeves, right? I have a spell here that might help you."
With that said, Quirrell took out a pen and paper from his breast pocket, wrote down a spell, and handed it to Luke.
"This is a small magic spell I got from abroad when I was traveling. It can effectively kill souls. It is very effective against incorporeal existences like ghosts. It can even annihilate ghosts."
Fred and George looked at each other and found that although there were four people present, Professor Quirrell seemed not to see them. Ignoring them at all, he didn't even want to look at the two of them.
And his current state is very different from the state he was in when he taught them the Defense Against Dark Arts class.
The Professor Quirrell in front of them felt strange to them.
Luke took the piece of paper, looked at the spells on it, and the simple spell-casting instructions, and nodded seriously.
"Okay professor, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome, Luke, I'm very willing to help students like you." When he said this, he paused and looked at Luke deeply, "Any help is needed."
After saying that, he left here without looking back. He didn't even glance at the twins behind Luke. As if they were dead wood not worth caring about.
After he left, Luke let out a long sigh of relief. The whole person relaxed visibly.
"Professor Quirrell, is there really something weird?"
Fred looked at Quirrell's back and whispered to himself. But the next moment, he shuddered suddenly, as if he was being stared at by something.
Luke saw Fred's condition: "Don't stare at him. Don't worry if something is wrong, there must be someone who knows better than us."
Fred heard what Luke was saying. Indeed, Dumbledore must know these things better than these students. The twins are not as innocent as Harry and Ron. They don't think that they are the only smart people in the world.
Everyone is drunk and I am the only one awake? If you haven't reached the level where you can see all the small mountains at a glance, it's best not to have this idea.
"What spell did Professor Quirrell give you?"
George asked curiously.
Fred also looked at Luke curiously.
Luke looked at the spell carefully twice and frowned.
"I haven't tried it... and I don't dare to try it easily. This is a spell I haven't seen before."
George and Fred were not surprised by the answer. Just think Luke is being cautious. After all, don't try spells you don't understand easily. This is also the quality that wizards should have.
But what they didn't know was that the reason why Luke didn't dare to try it was mainly because he had never seen this spell before.
I have read so many books and memorized so many spells, although many of them cannot be cast. But the impression is always there.
And this unseen spell is most likely self-created. If nothing else, it was a spell derived from the study of Horcruxes.
Voldemort's self-created spell might even be related to Horcruxes... He would only use it directly if he was crazy.
