[iamnmbr3]

so in first year voldemort finally got to be DADA teacher sort of. did he help quirrell plan lessons? or was he super passive aggressive and jealous about it and constantly going on about how all of quirrell's lessons sucked and he could've done it much better?

I feel like Snape/Quirrell is a severely underrated ship. Not in a traditional sense, mind you, but in an anti-ship way. These two have great bitter exes potential.

Professor Sprout sets them up together because they’re in the same age range and they both look... like they could use a date. Somehow this turns into a relationship. They spend two years exuding such potent awkwardness and anti-charisma as a couple that it’s difficult not to look away.

The only thing keeping them together is a vague fear of dying alone and an interest in theoretical magic.

Quirrell has the unfortunate habit of chuckling whenever he’s nervous, and Snape has a viscerally bad reaction every time.

Snape swears that he’s not staying up until four in the morning because Quirrell retires at seven and he’s avoiding him, he’s just a night owl.

Quirrell applies to the DADA job relying exclusively on what he learned listening to Snape infodump for two years. Dumbledore hires him and for the rest of the year, Snape only communicates with death stares.

Quirrell breaks up with him over owl while he’s away on his sabbatical. The letter is filled with melodramatic schlock such as ‘I’ve enjoyed the season of my life I spent with you.’ and metaphors about two ships passing each other in the night. Snape reads it aloud in the staff room because McGonnagal thinks it’s hilarious.

When Quirrell comes back, sporting a flashy new turban, he halfheartedly tries to apologise to Snape for the way things ended, and Snape casually informs him that he pawned all of the belongings Quirrell left in his quarters.

Voldemort doesn’t allow Quirrell to visit the pawnshop in Hogsmeade, so that is where his family heirlooms stay.

Snape spends the rest of the year harassing Quirrell like he does in the books, except all the older students and the professors think he’s doing it because he has gone full crazy ex-boyfriend. Quite a few teachers try to get Dumbledore to talk to Snape, not yet aware that this is all according to Dumbledore’s orders.

Quirrell bites it whilst trying to get the philosopher’s stone, and everyone realises who’s been living on the back of his head. McGonnagal takes Snape out for drinks to apologise for the time she tried to organise an intervention with the rest of the house heads.

Snape has to grapple with the fact that Voldemort probably co-authored that breakup letter.

Ok so this is the timeline of the YOUNGEST Quirrell can be. Born in 1967 Has his first year in 1978, the year after Snape graduates Becomes a Muggle Studies teacher at age 22, so he doesn't break Snapes record for being the youngest teacher... ....and IMMEDIATELY gets a year off to go look at vampires. Now I think thats a little far-fetched. You're telling me this man taught for a SINGLE year and was then allowed to leave and travel? He found being a teacher ~at age 22~ so stifling for his dreams of grandeur that he IMMEDIATELY left? I propose pushing his birthday back - even by just 2 years:

See this? This is MAXIMUM COOL and INTERESTING. Born 1965. His first years of school are Snapes LAST, his NEWT years... ...and his last two years of school, his NEWTs, and Snapes first two of teaching. Quirrell gets to see Severus as a student AND as a teacher. AND-!!! As a COWORKER!!! Quirrell was a '"gifted but delicate boy" who was often intimidated and bullied in school.' He desperately wanted to prove his own worth. Why would Big-Dreams-Quirrell even bother being a teacher at Hogwarts...? Especially so early on in his life? Maybe its because he saw someone else get bullied... then become the youngest professor in the schools history. A strong, intimidating and powerful one. ...but found walking in his footsteps didn't give the satisfaction he craved. He was simply sitting in Snapes shadow. Had to carve his own path.

Hey everyone !!

I drew this during my little hiatus, I was inspired by another artwork that was the Hogwarts class of 78 yearbook. So here's my take on the class of 78. This was such a fun challenge 😆

P.S.- if you spot the unfamiliar character, it's my oc! I included her :-)

About the unicorn blood. What Tom thinks is one think, but the truth is another matter. Canon doesn't tells us much, and it could be that unicorn blood is cursed, since Quirrell had a fate that would prove it truth and Voldemort also had a bad time and lost. But it could also be argued that the unicorn blood didn't influence anything. So my question is, in the Muffin verse of HP is unicorn blood cursed? It only curses you if taken by force, it only curses of you kill the unicorn, or it doesn't curse you at all? Something else?

I mean, we really don't know.

People say it's cursed but keeps you alive, Quirrell is suffering from Voldemort in the head so it's hard to see if he's getting any worse in some way, and then it's never brought up again.

Personally?

I don't think so in that we never see Quirrell degrade once he starts, on the contrary, it seems to be the only thing keeping him alive with Voldemort cancer. Whatever this curse is, it doesn't seem to affect him more than anything else already is, and what does him in is Harry's mother's protections.

So, I don't think the unicorn curse exists, and is just one of those hearsay legend things that no one wants to tempt unless you're Tom Riddle because he does what he wants.

I'm going to say it, because it's needs saying. Quirrell is actually quite attractive.

You can't change my mind.

A Very Potter Musical: Hermione Granger - All Scenes: 19

[hollowed-theory-hall]

what do you think about unicorn blood? specifically whether drinking unicorn blood affected voldemort in any way?

Hmm... honestly, I don't think it affected him at all. I think the unicorn blood was consumed by Quirrell, for Quirrell, and not Voldemort.

When Harry describes the figure drinking the unicorn blood, he mentions the mouth under the hood on the side Quirrell's face is on, not the back of his head:

The hooded figure raised its head and looked right at Harry — unicorn blood was dribbling down its front. It got to its feet and came swiftly toward Harry — he couldn’t move for fear.

(PS, 185)

And Voldemort explains why Quirrell would need the unicorn blood:

“Only one power remained to me. I could possess the bodies of others. But I dared not go where other humans were plentiful, for I knew that the Aurors were still abroad and searching for me. I sometimes inhabited animals — snakes, of course, being my preference — but I was little better off inside them than as pure spirit, for their bodies were ill adapted to perform magic . . . and my possession of them shortened their lives; none of them lasted long. . . .

(GoF, 653-654)

The hosts he used kept dying on him, and Quirrell was also slowly dying as long as Voldemort possessed him. Voldemort is fine, he has his Horcruxes, if Quirrell died, it'd be like any of the other snakes he possessed before — he'd return to his wraith form and move on.

The only reason he had to get Quirrell unicorn blood is so Quirrell would live long enough to get the philosopher's stone and get himself a body of his own. Because Voldemort would live regardless of what happened to Quirrell. Which we see, as Quirrell dies, but Voldemort is fine (well, relatively, he's still a wraith)

As for what I think it does, well, Firenze explains it as such:

“Harry Potter, do you know what unicorn blood is used for?” “No,” said Harry, startled by the odd question. “We’ve only used the horn and tail hair in Potions.” “That is because it is a monstrous thing, to slay a unicorn,” said Firenze. “Only one who has nothing to lose, and everything to gain, would commit such a crime. The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something pure and defenseless to save yourself, and you will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips.”

(PS, 186)

So, unicorn blood keeps you alive, if barely. It would just keep your body moving and breathing.

As for what exactly it curses you with?

We have no real way of knowing for sure. Quirrell seems worse for wear for most of the year, and he has been drinking unicorn blood for a while before Harry sees Quirrellmort in the forest, so it's hard to tell what are the effects of being possessed versus the unicorn blood curse.

If I had to guess what this half-life means, I'd say it correlates to the unicron's purity. Because Firenze states the curse is the result of killing something as pure as a unicorn. So, the curse would correlate, like karma for the death of the unicorn, and not the act of drinking its blood. So it's not the unicorn blood that curses you, but killing the unicorn, like slaying something holy.

I think of it as something like Odysseus' men killing the divine, immortal cattle of the god Helios and having various gods proceed to destroy their ships and curse their journey with bad luck, like the opposite of Felix Felicis. So, if I had to guess what's the curse of killing a unicorn, it'd be something along these lines.

“Brilliant,” said Hermione. “This isn’t magic – it’s logic – a puzzle. A lot of the greatest wizards haven’t got an ounce of logic, they’d be stuck in here forever.”
