Why was that former professor sacked, Father? Some of us at school are wondering. Is it true that he was a drunkard?

Have you seen him personally, Draco? Did he appear drunk to you?

If you see him again, you are to inform Headmistress McGonagall immediately, is that understood? Under no circumstances are you to engage him, nor should any of your friends.

He is not dangerous, not by himself, but he is apt to be unpredictable, and probably upsetting, to you children

Whether he drank to excess prior to his termination I am sure I do not know; it was not the primary reason, certainly.

Do you recall the trip you and Harry took with your tutor to the British Museum and what you were taught there about Muggles?

I didn't see him, Father, I just heard some of the bigger students talking.

I remember that they had Empires, and a lot of wars, and they built a lot of machines that were just for the wars. They also did odd things like worship animals and make mummies. There was even a mummy cat. And the tea that was left behind in the cafe was very bad, also.

All true. I was referring to the lessons on why we had to take over, even though there are far more Muggles than wizards.

Let's say that had Quirrell remained on staff, you should have learnt nearly nothing of the true history of Muggles and instead a load of waffle about how useful Muggles have been over the centuries.
