The danger of this move lies in two points. The first point is that once Quirrell does not intend to reveal the Dark Lord's affairs to him and takes action against him at all costs, he will be in a very dangerous situation.

No matter how hard he studied recently, he was still no match for Quirrell.

He made a lot of preparations for this, and his main reliance was an alchemical item.

Brian looked at the ring hanging around his neck and sighed softly.

This was hung up by Brian's mother before he came to Hogwarts. It is a powerful and precious alchemical item that is priceless.

It can cast iron armor spells, counterattack spells, and escape spells, etc. It is an excellent black magic defense item.

This magical item would at least last him until he made some noise and attracted the professors' rescue.

In addition, Quirrell does not want to be exposed at the moment, so the possibility of him taking action will be minimized.

Then, he pretended to be bold and said his father's name, and vaguely revealed his admiration for the Dark Lord.

There is a high possibility that he will be tempted to tell the story about the Dark Lord and lure him into working for him.

Even if he keeps tight-lipped and doesn't tell him about the Dark Lord, there is a high probability that he will be tempted to help him do things.

It must be said that Mr. Foley's name played a big role.

Mr. Foley is loyal enough to the Dark Lord and sensible enough to protect himself wisely, but he has a good reputation among the Death Eaters.

Coupled with Mr. Foley's good relationship with the Lestranges - whom the Dark Lord always trusted the most - he was also trusted by the Dark Lord.

The second danger lies in the Dark Lord's Legilimency.

Although he is currently in a state of lingering, he may not necessarily have the ability to use Legilimency.

In the original book, he was able to talk to Harry only after drinking the blood of a unicorn. He saw then that Harry was lying, that he was obviously able to use Legilimency.

Brian was not willing to take risks, so before meeting Quirrell, he used 1 witness point to improve Occlumency from beginner level to mastery level.

This should be enough to deal with Legilimency, which the weak Dark Lord will not use at full strength at this time.

When talking to Quirrell, he showed all the emotions he should have when performing.

It was obvious that he had initially gained the Dark Lord's trust.

"In short, things are on the right track." Brian murmured, "This is really a difficult road to walk."

"But it's still a great adventure."

His gaze contained mockery, and he didn't know who he was looking at.

"Hahaha, stupid snot and dead chicken, I heard that you sneaked out to look for trolls and were caught by the professors last night?" Malfoy laughed loudly in the auditorium, and his voice could be heard throughout the auditorium.

"Oh, you should be grateful that the professor caught you in advance instead of letting you go to feed the troll!"

"Malfoy, shut your mouth." Harry blushed.

Ron's face turned as red as his hair, and he drew his wand and waved it away, trying to shoo away Malfoy like a fly.

"Oh, this is simply the stupidest thing I have ever done." Ron said harshly, looking at Malfoy's arrogant face.

Last night, Harry and Ron were worried about Hermione, so they broke away from the team and ran to the women's bathroom to look for her. As a result, they only found the sleeping troll, who was then caught by the professors who came over.

Professor McGonagall's lips turned white with anger, her eyes were as cold as knives and she wanted to cut them into pieces, and her voice was trembling as she spoke.

After examining the troll, Snape said that someone had brought it down with dead water, and commented: "Very clever, but it obviously couldn't have been done by Potter and Weasley, right? "

The furious Professor McGonagall said in a trembling tone: "How dare you? If it hadn't been knocked unconscious in advance, you would... Oh, each of you deducted five points from Gryffindor. Now, go back to your Go to the lounge!”

The two returned to the common room dejected, and saw Hermione there.

"Where have you been? Don't run around when you're in danger." Hermione said worriedly.

"Hermione, come on, we thought you were still in the women's bathroom, but the professor caught us." Ron complained out loud, "You should have told us if you came back."

"So...you went to find me?" Hermione stood up and said, "Do you know how dangerous this is?"

"Also, you were caught? No, I have to explain to the professor that you are because of me..." Hermione hurriedly planned to go out.

Harry and Ron stopped her and said, "Come on, believe me, Snape will definitely find an excuse to deduct points from you again."

"By the way, you brought down that giant monster?" the two asked curiously, "Snape said someone used the water of life and death."

"Why do you think so?" Hermione asked in surprise, "I never thought there would be a troll in Hogwarts. Oh my God, I always thought Hogwarts was the safest place in the world. If it weren't for Brian …”

"What? You said it was Foley who did it?" Ron's eyes widened.

"Yes, he saved me." Hermione nodded.

"Then he really loves to show off." Ron said unhappily, earning a glare from Hermione.

"No, he couldn't have known that a troll would appear here, right?" Harry said thoughtfully, "But who would carry a bottle of water of life and death with them?"

"Harry, do you think it was Brian who released the troll?" Hermione asked, "Then he needs to prepare a bigger box."

"No, I mean, it's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Harry thought he was about to guess the truth.

"I won't tell you anymore." Hermione straightened her hair and turned to go back to the dormitory.

Harry and Ron finally drove away the sarcastic Malfoy. Harry continued the topic from last night and said:

"I think there's something wrong with Foley. The timing of his appearance in the women's bathroom last night was too coincidental, and he happened to be carrying a bottle of water of life and death."

Ron stuffed the sandwich into his mouth and said vaguely: "He must have heard what Professor Quirrell said and ran to show off."

"Killing a giant monster alone is something worth bragging about!" Ron said with some amusement.

"But he didn't brag, did he?" Harry glanced at Brian who was quietly eating breakfast from a distance, and insisted, "It should be said that few people except us know that he did this."

"By the way, there was also the night of the duel. It was such a coincidence. How did we end up wandering around in that corridor?" Harry's eyes lit up. "It was Foley who was leading the way that day. Maybe he wanted to let We found it there!”

"But if this is true, why would he do this?" Ron said.

"Perhaps, he or someone behind him wanted to get what was hidden there, so he went to investigate the situation." Harry speculated.

"Stop guessing, we should go to class." Ron stuffed the last bite of the sandwich into his mouth.

After the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, Brian pretended to stay to ask questions and talked to Quirrell.

"Sorry, Professor Quirrell, I caused you trouble last night." Brian said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, I've got the information I want." Quirrell sneered, "Snape did a good job of testing that big dog's abilities for me."

"Then what do I need to do... to help the Dark Lord return?" Brian lowered his voice, with excitement and urgency in his eyes.

"Ah, I think you can find a way to find out how to get past that big dog. There must be some way." Quirrell pondered, "It's Hagrid's silly little pet. You can find a way to get it from him." Get some information.”

"Okay." Brian looked at him, smiled and nodded.

Time still passed slowly, and Hogwarts was peaceful.

Brian put aside Quirrell's instructions and continued his study life step by step.

The entry-level Transfiguration Technique is basically enough to cope with all the Transfiguration Technique courses in the first grade, and he has already started to prepare for the second grade courses.

In the Charms class, his ability was enough to cope with it, and the level of Charms in the system was successfully changed to Beginner level.

The same goes for the potions class. He has been able to independently prepare all the potions for the first and second years.

Professor Snape was quite satisfied with this. Even though his leg was seriously injured and he was in a bad mood recently, he would still be patient enough to answer Brian's questions after class.

He even gave Brian a potion notebook, which recorded many improved formulas for potions. If Brian hadn't had the energy to study Potions this semester, he doubted that Snape would have accepted him as a closed disciple.

This is one of the conveniences this identity provides him.

As for alchemy... he really didn't have the energy to study it anymore, so he could only put it aside.

Finally, there is the memory/general knowledge part. Through continuous recitation and memorization of various knowledge, I have successfully reached the mastery level from entry level.

There are still 1.2 witness points left, which he has left unused for the time being. 0.2 points were gained from two Quidditch matches.

A new Quidditch match is coming, Slytherin versus Gryffindor. This game is destined to be full of gunpowder.

Brian had no intention of intervening in the plot. He just wanted to watch the whole process and get basic witness points.
