After listening to the podcast of chapter 35 I was sure that H&C was Quirrell. H&C told Zabini the slander about Dumbledor to tell Quirrell, and Quirrel knew that Zabini would slander Dumbledor when he talked to him. If Quirrell is not(or is not controlling) H&C then he would have had to find out the details of H&C’s plot. Presumably there would have only been a single, surprised in the hallway, meeting between H&C and Zabini. The only options I see for Quirrell finding out about it is:
Quirrell somehow knew the time and place that H&C chose for the meeting.
Zabini became a Sextuple agent.
Quirrell used legilimency on Zabini
1 Is unlikely considering the nature of the meeting. 2 is unlikely considering the inner thoughts of Zabini we have access to through the text. 3 is certainly possible since we only have Quirrell’s own statement that the game would be boring as a reason he does not use legilimency.
Actually now that I think about it I am going to say that H&C is not Quirrell, and Quirrell knew that Zabini would slander Dumbledor because he used legilimency on Zabini.
I think it was just obliviation. I recon the description of obliviate as the feeling when you forget what you were doing in the middle of doing it seems close to what Zabini experiences.

What I meant is that legilimency is the reason that Quirrell knew that Zabini would slander Dumbledor when he talked to him.
