Enjoy!Summary: Quirrell was the first in the long line of defense against the dark arts teachers. It turned out he was a double agent working with Voldemort to steal the sorcerer's stone. He was an inch away from success when Harry showed up and defeated him. However, I think there was a unique wreck in his plans that really sent the train off the rails. Fluffy the three headed dog is immortal. This is as far fetched as it goes. To start, I don't even think Quirrell could have gathered enough strength to cast the killing curse in the first place. You need to be very powerful to do so. Even at his best Quirrell might manage, but carrying Voldemort around in the back of his head really sapped his strength. But Fluffy is immortal so it wouldn't matter anyway. Here's why I think Fluffy is immortal. For one, we never see him as a puppy. With Norberta, we saw her right from the start of her life. Not Fluffy. Here's where it gets good. There is another giant three headed dog. His name is Cerberus. Cerberus is the three headed dog from Greek mythology that guards the underworld. One of the most used entries to the underworld is in Greece. You know where Fluffy is from? Greece. Hagrid has said himself that Fluffy is one of kind. That may true. Could it be because Fluffy and Cerberus were the same thing all along?Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussionWebsite: https://www.thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.comHaving anything you want to hear or say?
