"I wasn't even there and I can't forget it," he agrees, deciding to stop questioning now that he got something.

"Who's Nicolas Flamel?"

"Let's stop interrogating him, why don't we?"

Permalink

"Not saying anything more about it, and that's final!"

Victor nods.

Dayo successfully changes the subject and eventually Hagrid's comfortable and happy again. There are more rocky rock cakes, and then they start making their way back to the Castle.

Victor is quiet.

"I think I'm gonna go to the library to study," he says, making sure to hold Muninn's gaze meaningfully while Ron's not looking.

Ron makes a face. "Have fun, I guess."

"I might do that too. Books seem like the right amount of unexciting for right now."

"Should both be in Ravenclaw," he mutters.

He smiles slightly.

"It was Quirrell," says Muninn.

Permalink

"—what? Quirrell? Why?"

Permalink

"Don't look at me, I just work here," he says with a hoarse croak of laughter. "Snape was trying to counter the curse, interestingly enough."

Permalink

"Really? How do you know that?"

Permalink

"Heard him casting when I was flying in to land on Quirrell's head."

Permalink

"And how do you know it wasn't the other way around?"

Permalink

"...because he was casting a countercurse?"

Permalink

"—right. Okay. Erm. Should we maybe tell Professor McGonagall this."

Permalink

"Couple of eleven-year-olds and a talking raven want her to believe her coworker just tried to kill a kid? Dicey."

Permalink

"One of those eleven-year-olds is Victor Evans, though. And Quirrell got in just this year, and apparently Defence Professors just sorta rotate yearly?"

Permalink

"Maybe. Victor, what do you think?"
