Liam knew that Quirrell didn't have any good intentions, his wand is too mysterious. Even Voldemort is now interested in his wand. But he knew for sure that his wand is not something which other wizards can use. But even if he gives his wand to him there is a possibility that the dark lord has a way to make the wand his.
Liam was troubled, he chose to lend him his wand thinking that Voldemort wouldn't dare make a move with his current state. He is using Quirrell's body as a temporary residence and needs unicorn blood to keep his current state alive. Even though this being the case Liam was hesitating, but he handed his wand to Quirrell.
Quirrell took Liam's wand in his hands and started to check it, he was sure that this is a wand but it seemed just like a wooden stick to him, "Such a strange wand you have Mr. Gremory." He stated while waving the wand but didn't cast any spell. Liam watched Quirrell waving his wand with anxiety.
"Now as you can see we have a wand here. The wand is like a wizard's organ without it a wizard is no less than a muggle. So make sure you don't lose it." said Quirrell while weirdly looking at Liam's wand.
He held the wand trying to silently cast a spell. But the wand didn't respond to him at all.
'Let me try!' rang a voice in Quirrell's head. Voldemort waved the wand using Quirrell's body.
Quirrell's hand burned where he had held the wand in his hand. Quirrell was feeling excruciating pain. But as his body was in Voldemorts control he couldn't show any expression.
Voldemort let loose of his control over Quirrell's body. Just as he let go of his control Quirrell dropped Liam's wand, "Ahhh!!! My hands…" he shouted. 'Don't shout you fool' reminded Voldemort.
"What is this wand… my hands… Ahh!" Quirrell kneeled down holding his hand and crying in pain.
The little wizards were scared, "Proffessor what happened to you?" they showed their worry.
'This fool… Let me heal you' The wound in quirrell's hand healed in seconds.
Quirrell got up from the ground, "How did you like my demonstration… I did that to show you not to use anyone's wand without checking If you can use it. Many wizards place secret protection charms to protect their wands so never use other's wands hastly." he patted off some dust off his knees.
He continued the lecture returning Liam's wand back to him, "Wands have very strange behavior so not everyone can use anyone's wand. They need at least a bit of compatibility or the loyalty of the wand, but there are some exceptions such as a wand can be use by a wizard who is compatible with the wand or a strong wizard can forcefully use any wand…."
Liam was very relieved, he could clearly see that the so called demonstration of Quirrell wasn't actually a demonstration but him failing to use his wand. He was sure that Voldemort was the person who healed Quirrell's hands. At least he knew that now Quirrell wouldn't try anything to take his wand away.

After the class was over Michael went looking for Cedric, While Liam waited in the library. As he was able to use magic was very exhilarated to try out different spells. Liam remembered that in the first harry potter harry didn't even use a single spell, only Hermione was the one who used spell even she didn't use many spells. While Ron only played chess.
Going to stop a teacher who wants to steal a very rare magical item and the people who decided to go after him are three first year student. Harry didn't even have his wand with him how was he planning to stop a professor. That was the most idiotic thing anyone can do. He remembered something, 'Isn't the troll incident going to happen soon.'
The urgency to learn a strong defensive spell had gotten even more. Liam didn't want to waste any time doing needless things. He looked around the library for a book on trolls.
Going through the magical creatures section of the library. He saw a dirty-blond haired girl with a dazed look on her face. He walked towards her, "Excuse me do you know where I can find a book on Giant magical creatures?" Liam asked with a smile.
The girl looked at Liam and started walking backwards as if scared of something, she ran away. Liam was dumbfounded, "Do I look that scary?" he sighed and started looking for the book himself. He would have asked for help to Madam Pince but she was not present on the library. There was nothing he could do but look for the book himself.
"Which book are you looking for?" sounded a girl's sweet voice from behind Liam. Liam startled look behind to see it was Marie who asked him.
"Oh! It's you, I am looking for a book in giant creatures. Do you know where it is? The book which I found didn't have the information I needed." Liam looked towards Marie expectantly.
"Hmm… a book on giant creatures. There is one that I know follow me." Marie leaded the way.
There was a very whole shelve filled with book named 'Fantastic beasts and where to find them. By Newt Scamander.' There were 8 big volumes of that book kept neatly, "You may find what you are looking for in volume 3. It's mainly focused on giant creatures. Why are you suddenly so interested in Giant creatures?" Asked Marie out of curiosity.
Liam had no intentions of telling Marie, "I was just interested in them." HE took out the book and went towards the not so crowded part of the library to sit down and read.
Marie followed him and sat next to him looking at what Liam was doing. Liam ignored her as much as he could. He opened the book and started looking for trolls. He kept reading the pages.
"A troll is a fearsome creature up to twelve feet tall and weighing a ton. They are strong unpredictable creatures with propensity violence and stupidity. Their unpredictable ness makes them highly dangerous, they can look at you like they won't hurt you but attack the next second. There has no such incident where a troll was found to have any humane response to any interaction. They usually follow the person stronger than them. And this was is determined by a duel. A troll is not a creature you should approach nor try to tame." Liam read the next section of information on trolls.
"How to protect yourself if you ever encounter a troll:" This is exactly what I need to know,
'Maintain a very large distance from the troll and never get close to him. Trolls have very high physical powers getting close to a troll is suicide." Liam was amused by this statement. Harry was actually very lucky to have defeated a troll if wasn't for his luck he wouldn't have survived.
"Trolls are stupid they attack indiscriminately and ruthlessly, but they are slow. Use this as an advantage and hit him on his weakest spot 'his head'. Trolls can easily be knocked out with just little hit to their head. But be sure to hit hard. If you hit him and he doesn't get knocked out you will have only made him angry. A troll becomes very aggressive and are faster when they are angry."
Liam now had enough knowledge, he closed the book satisfied by what he had read. He noticed that Marie was staring at him very intently.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Asked Liam while closing the book.
"You are hiding something, aren't you?" Marie replied with a mysterious smile, "I know you have a talent in Divination. What you said in the train came out to be true. No you are suspiciously looking for information which normally someone wouldn't look for."
Liam was dumbfounded, 'What? I just joked about it, who would have thought she actually paid attention to what I had said.' he was laughing loudly in his head. But he planned to tease this girl, "You paid attention to what I said, few days ago I had a weird dream. In that dream I was fighting a troll. So I thought maybe I should be prepared to fight a troll. Its just an intuition it may not come true."
"Hmm is that so. It means that there is going to be a troll attack in Hogwarts. Thanks for reminding me." It didn't take even a second for her to come to this conclusion. She noticed Liam's hands was bandaged, "Tell me who was that bullied you." She asked in a serious tone. She had heard that there was an incident where two slytherin students bullied another slytherin student. It was not revealed who it was but the massive decrease in points made every slytherin student very furious.
Liam didn't want to answer he took the book and went to keep the book back to where he got it from.
'Okay don't tell me, I will find who did it myself." She said in a low voice with a bit evil tone.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Liam got out of the library just as he left he saw Michael was coming towards the library, "So what did he say?" asked Liam who was a bit worried that Cedric might reject them.
"Don't look at me like that, he has agreed but he said he is too busy to guide us every day so he will only teach us some days when he has time. I said I can show him a secret place to practice magic, why wouldn't he agree. There are very few places you can actually practice magic. He would never get this chance get away that easily."
Liam smiled, "So when is our first practice day." Asked Liam with expectation.
"He said that he is free tomorrow, we don't have many lectures tomorrow as well so tomorrow is the best day to start."Michael explained.
"Yes, that would be awesome."
