Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 105: Change Arnold's name, College Cup, right? Old Deng, you come and perform.

"Grumpy"

Dylan felt his stomach growling, and Dumbledore stopped explaining the spell in due time.

Dylan smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, Professor."

"It's okay, it's time to eat." Dumbledore didn't care, but waved his hand, letting the silver phoenix disappear.

——That’s right, when he was teaching Dylan just now, he kept using the Patronus Charm.

"No wonder Minerva likes you so much. You are indeed a very talented and intelligent little wizard."

"You flatter me."

Dylan stood up and said, "Then I'll go eat first?"

"No problem." Dumbledore nodded, but did not get up to see him off.

Just as Dylan was about to open the door and leave, he suddenly said, "Dylan, I hope you can remember one thing."

Dylan stopped and turned around: "What did you say?"

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Truly powerful magic always comes from inner faith and courage."

“If you need to face darkness one day, don’t be afraid. Awaken the light within you. Your guardian angel will always be with you and protect you.”

Dylan pursed his lips, then nodded seriously.

This time, he finally raised his eyes and met Dumbledore's gaze.

"I will, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Old Dumbledore chuckled. "I heard from Minerva that you once prophesied to her that she would become the headmaster of Hogwarts?"

Dylan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"Is this what you actually saw?"

"……Yes."

Dumbledore was silent, then nodded: "I understand. Go and eat, don't starve yourself."

"Goodbye Professor."

Dylan opened the door and walked out.

After closing the office door, he glanced at the two small notebooks in his hands.

"I originally just wanted to ask, hoping to get some benefits and learn some knowledge I didn't know. I didn't expect Old Dumbledore to teach me these two spells without reservation."

Dylan sighed inwardly, then quickly left and headed for the restaurant.

It's already noon, time to eat.

Since Old Deng didn't plan to go to the restaurant with him, it meant that the other party was not hungry, so he naturally wouldn't ask him for no reason.

What if Old Deng agrees directly? Wouldn't he have to go all the way with the other party?

It's impossible for him to ask some questions about magic while walking.

If Old Deng wants to ask him some weird questions, he doesn't want to waste his energy dealing with them.

"Among the magical creatures, some are magical creatures, such as the little coal balls and the dragon."

As Dylan walked on the road, he recalled the phoenix in Old Dumbledore's office. He couldn't help but wonder whether Old Dumbledore, as the teacher who taught McGonagall the Transfiguration Spell, was himself an Animagus?
Generally speaking, each person's Animagus is a guardian angel that they can summon.

But generally speaking, Animagus cannot be magical creatures.

So Dylan couldn't be sure whether Dumbledore was an Animagus or not.

"You can ask Professor McGonagall about this next time."

After lunch, Dylan returned to the library in the afternoon and began to look through the books he had not finished reading before.

Late at night, Dylan returned to the dormitory. After lying down for a while, when everyone fell asleep, he put on the Shadow Ring and hid his body.

Then, using the power of the coal ball, he continued to pass through walls, left Hogwarts directly, and went deep into the Forbidden Forest.

He wasn't sure yet whether he should go home for the summer vacation, but there was no rush anyway.

——Anyway, I may not see anyone when I go back.

——It is also possible to see three people.

"I wonder if my parents have opened the trumpet yet."

Dylan curled his lips.

However, although he was not sure whether he would go back during the summer vacation, Hagrid was worried that he would leave directly after the summer vacation. He was also worried that after the summer vacation, there would be fewer people in the school. If there was any commotion in the Forbidden Forest, it would likely attract the attention of the professors.

So two days ago, Hagrid asked Ron to give him a message, and the two agreed to meet in the Forbidden Forest tonight.

——As for why I don’t write letters, it’s of course because I’m afraid that the letters will be intercepted and read by someone.

Coincidentally, the fresh meat that Dylan had just bought for Arnold also arrived.

Although most of Arnold's food was prepared by Hagrid, Arnold was his pet after all, so Dylan would naturally prepare some more high-nutrition food for him to help his growth.

Even when Hagrid didn't have enough money, he was unwilling to hunt creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Dylan also provided a large part of the funds, specifically for Hagrid to secretly go to other places to buy some food for the young dragons.

"I've been dealing with this one after another, and my funds are still too little."

Dylan sighed.

Whether it's refining a spell or trying to beautify a wand and wizard robes, it all costs money.

At the same time, he also had to buy a lot of magical herbs and brew potions - this was also a considerable expense.

As for other things to use and eat, there is naturally no need to say more.

"Otherwise, I should go back during the summer vacation and urge Dad and the others to open a new account anytime. I have to make money quickly!"

They live in their own world every day, traveling everywhere, and they don’t need to worry about how to make money, how to make money, or how much money to make.

Dylan would put together a detailed plan for them.

Lost your brain, but made money.

This life is so delicious!

"Damn it, when will my parents become the spoiled rich second generation?"

In the Forbidden Forest, the trees are tall and twisted.

The branches and leaves are intertwined, almost completely blocking the sky. Occasionally, a few rays of moonlight shine through the gaps, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground.

Dylan stepped on it and then walked over.

When they arrived at a hidden cave deep in the forbidden forest, Dylan pushed aside the half-covered vines and leaves and walked in.

"Hey, Dylan, good evening!"

A dim light shone over.

Dylan looked forward, and Hagrid's tall and strong figure appeared.

He held a lantern in one hand and waved at him.

"Finally you're here! Come quickly! I've prepared a lot of food for Arnold!"

Dylan looked at the headlight in his hand and asked, "Aren't you afraid that others will notice you hiding here? If someone finds you, how suspicious will you be?"

Hagrid scratched his head and chuckled, "I just got here a short time ago, so I thought I'd light up the place first to avoid being blinded by darkness. What if you can't see?"

"..."

Dylan's mouth twitched, and under Hagrid's expectant gaze, he took out his wand and waved it gently.

"Shh!"

A huge young dragon appeared out of nowhere.

Along with it, there was also a black creature that looked like a lynx or a black cat and landed lightly on the ground.

As soon as the two little guys appeared, the originally quiet cave instantly became lively.

"Hiss! Moo!"

"...Don't imitate your brother Coal Ball's voice!"

Dylan stared.

Arnold instantly shrank his neck, but turned his head left and right. His dark eyes looked around, and his nostrils flared slightly. It was unclear whether he heard Dylan's words or not.

Coal glared at Dylan in dissatisfaction, then looked at Arnold: "Moo! Moo!"

Arnold glanced at Dylan cautiously: "Hiss...moo?"

Dylan curled his lips, feeling a little helpless.

"Don't worry about how it screams, it's quite cute like this!" Hagrid's face was full of surprise. He strode forward and gently touched the little dragon's head.

"Good boy, it grows so much every time I see it!"

Dylan waved his wand again.

Several boxes of high-protein, high-nutrition canned foods appeared.

He opened the can, took out the large iron basin that Arnold used to eat, and poured the canned meat into it.

Hagrid also took out the piece of meat he bought for Arnold and stuffed it in.

As soon as the little guy saw the food, his eyes lit up instantly.

Meiqiu also stared at the big bowl of meat.

"You eat this."

Dylan took out a few more cans and poured them into the small iron basin specially prepared for coal briquettes.

"Moo!" Coal Ball called twice.

After Dylan announced that it was time to eat.

Arnold's nose twitched, and he impatiently moved his head forward, tearing into the piece of meat in big mouthfuls, eating it with relish, with gravy occasionally dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Compared to Arnold, Coal Ball is much more reserved.

Its small iron basin was a little distance away from Arnold's big iron basin, because if it got too close, it would be hit by the meat crumbs that Arnold ate.

Meiqiu licked the canned meat in small bites, and her pink little tongue rolled up the meat grains and put them into her mouth.

Eat while the two little guys are here.

Hagrid circled Arnold several times, and seeing that he was in good spirits, he felt relieved and turned to look at Dylan.

"Has anything gone wrong at school lately?"

Dylan blinked: "Emm... No, everything is pretty normal."

"Arnold usually stays in my pet space, and no one has ever noticed that I am keeping him."

Hagrid nodded, his expression becoming serious. "We must not let anyone else know about this. If it were discovered, both we and it would be in big trouble!"

Dylan looked at Hagrid. "As long as nothing goes wrong here, that's enough."

Today, Old Dumbledore taught him the Fidelius Charm. He was considering whether he should learn it and become Hagrid's Secret-Keeper once he was more proficient in it, so that he could keep the secret to himself.

Dylan was always worried that Hagrid would be tricked into revealing something.

Hagrid laughed and patted his chest: "Don't worry, I promise, nothing will happen!"

Dylan's eyelids twitched.

The flag you set makes me completely unconvinced!
"It seems I still need to find an opportunity to use this Loyalty Spell..."

"Huh? What? What did you just say?"

Hagrid was squatting beside Arnold, watching him eat, and didn't hear Dylan's mumbling clearly.

"nothing."

Dylan shook his head and then walked over to Arnold.

"Arnold has grown so big now, and his features are more obvious. It seems that he is not a little boy, but a little girl." Hagrid was stunned for a moment, then looked seriously at Arnold who was eating with his butt sticking out.

After observing for a while, he nodded slightly: "It seems so."

Dylan blinked. "Since it's a little girl, the name Arnold isn't very suitable for it. Why don't we just call it Norbeta from now on? Arnold can be its nickname, or even Beta."

Hagrid nodded again. "Of course. It should have a more serious-sounding name. I think Norbeta is a good name."

As he was speaking, he took out another piece of cake from his arms.

"Little Beta, eat this too. Eat more so you can grow up quickly!"

Dylan took a look and saw that it was the rock cake cooked by Hagrid himself.

"..."

How can someone do this kind of thing for others since childhood?
However, when Hagrid threw the pancake into Beta's big iron basin, the little guy seemed to like it very much. He didn't even bite the meat. Instead, he dipped the pancake in his own iron basin twice and then started to bite it with big mouthfuls.

"..."

It turns out that you can’t teach children with others, you have to do it yourself!
Dylan rubbed his head.

But after calming down, he looked at Hagrid and Beta again.

This is a happy scene...

"Oh! What a sin!"

Dylan did not ask Beta to borrow some scales or dragon blood today.

During this period, he did not have many potions to make. Studying spells and other knowledge was what he mainly did these days.

It was for this reason that Beta was able to live in peace for a while.

Beta ate very quickly, and after feeding him the food, Dylan prepared to leave with the two pets.

Hagrid was reluctant to leave, but there was nothing he could do.

Before leaving, Dylan said to Hagrid, "Don't be sad. It's not like we won't see each other again. When you go back, remember to prepare some more delicious food for Beta."

Hagrid immediately promised, "I'll spend most of my salary on this!"

“…That’s not necessary.”

It's as if he is a dragon owner who doesn't feed his pet himself, but instead treats it as an ATM machine, constantly spewing out gold coins.

——Of course, he did have this thought.

But now, although he is short of money, he is not so poor that he will not treat his pet badly when it comes to food.

After putting Beta and Coal Ball back into the pet space, Dylan said goodbye to Hagrid, quickly left the Forbidden Forest, and returned to the dormitory.

——Harry hasn't come back yet and is still staying in the school infirmary.

——Ron stayed by the bed.

Wait until early morning.

Dylan wakes up.

I went to the library to study for another day.

The Fidelius Curse has been studied in depth.

Dylan only went to the auditorium when the year-end dinner arrived.

At this moment, the entire auditorium was covered in silver and green.

——Slytherin has won the house cup for seven consecutive years.

Even behind the teachers' seats, there was a huge banner hanging.

——It depicts the Slytherin snake in an extremely vivid and vivid way.

Dylan found a seat and sat down.

Hermione had arrived.

Until almost everyone is there.

Harry finally arrived.

——Apparently, Madam Pomfrey finally felt that Harry had no other problems and let him go.

The moment Harry stepped in here.

The originally noisy and bustling auditorium suddenly became quiet.

But soon, even louder discussions suddenly arose.

Dylan hears some people discussing Harry's coma.

And the fact that Gryffindor had points deducted.

——Because the baby dragon was taken away by him directly, Professor Snape did not deduct too many points from Gryffindor even if he tried to target them in class.

However, because he and Harry broke into the restricted area, their actions were obviously not the first time they had done so, so they were deducted 100 points in the end.

Dylan is really wronged in this regard.

He had never come in here with Harry and the others before. This was his first time!
However, under the questioning of the professors, Ron blurted out that they had been to the restricted area before.

So this point is definitely deducted.

But Dylan didn't care too much.

His gaze fell on Dumbledore, who was standing behind the head teacher's seat.

"Go ahead, Old Deng, start your show!"

Let him boldly divine——

I dare not say more, but in the next seven years, this auditorium will not have any green, but will be covered with bright red!

Dumbledore looked very happy and energetic. After everyone arrived and the door of the hall closed, he stood up from his seat and looked around.

"Another school year has ended."

"Now it's time to listen to the old man's clichés."

As Dumbledore spoke, he began to laugh.

"A lot has happened in the past year, and I believe everyone here has learned a lot. So, how are the performances of each college—"

"Let's see who will win the College Cup!"

"Now I will announce the scores of each college as follows—"

Old Deng's voice echoed throughout the auditorium.

The result was no surprise.

Originally, Gryffindor was ranked first because of Dylan's extra points in various classes and Harry's performance in Quidditch.

——This is something that Professor Snape could never deduct enough from you.

But since Harry was in a coma, the Quidditch Cup was taken away by another house.

The score gap widened again.

At the same time, because Dylan, Harry and others entered the restricted area, they were deducted a full 100 points.

This resulted in Gryffindor being at the bottom of the table.

——Fortunately, the third place is Slytherin.

- Because Malfoy ran out of curfew and tried to spread rumors that Harry had a dragon, he was severely deducted points.

This allowed Ravenclaw to take first place.

When Old Deng announced this.

The Slytherin and Gryffindor tables were both silent - one could even say it was a bit dead silent.

On the other hand, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff burst into enthusiastic applause.

Dylan looked calm and not panicked at all.

Sure enough, after old Dumbledore clapped twice for Ravenclaw, he suddenly changed the subject.

"Congratulations, Ravenclaw. However, recent events must also be taken into consideration—"

The Ravenclaws who were applauding in surprise were all stunned.

"I must say - Miss Hermione Granger, when the horrific fire burned before her eyes, she was still able to reason correctly - for this, Gryffindor gives her fifty points!"

As soon as the words fell, the Gryffindors, after a moment of silence, suddenly boiled over and thunderous applause broke out.

Hermione lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

——It would be fine if she really cracked it, but when she and Harry entered the room, the correct answer had already been cracked!

——Although she did figure out something at that time.

but……

This can actually be blamed on her?
Dumbledore pressed his palm.

The auditorium grew quiet.

He then spoke: "And - Mr. Ron Weasley, he has demonstrated superb chess skills and is the best Hogwarts has had in many years!"

"——a reward of fifty points!"

Gryffindor was fired up again.

The applause continued to ring out.

——Ron also lowered his head.

What? The chess game was ruined beyond recognition, and he won by just pushing a few pieces.

This kind of praise was really too much for him to bear...

"Third - Dylan Hawkwood and Harry Potter!"

Dumbledore's voice echoed again, and the lions suddenly closed their mouths, blinked their eyes, and looked over.

"Their courage and ability, boldness and wisdom are truly moving!"

"For that - one hundred and twenty points from Gryffindor!"

In an instant, Gryffindor exploded again.

"What? Oh my god! One hundred and twenty?!"

"Merlin's nose! So how many points are we at now?"

"I don't know, but we're definitely first. Our score was already first to begin with! With 100 points added back and another 120, what else could we be if not first?"

"You're right!"

Amidst the cheers, Dylan looked at Old Deng, who was smiling at the main seat, and curled his lips calmly.

——Old Deng, ah, Old Deng, you are worthy of being me!

It's just a hundred points, it can be deducted, so what does it matter?

This not only makes up for the 100 points directly, but also adds more than 100 points!

However, this time Gryffindor did not surpass Slytherin directly, but surpassed Ravenclaw and became the first!

As for Slytherin
Now it has become the fourth from the bottom, which is almost unprecedented.

At this moment, none of the little snakes at the Slytherin table had a smile on their faces.

They all looked as if something had happened to them, with blank expressions on their faces.

——Just like Professor Snape.
