Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 132 Their birthday gifts will make Professor McGonagall lose face in front of Professor Snape!

"But there's only one basilisk after all. It seems that after I expand the pet space a little more, I have to save some money, create an ecological environment, and then catch some eight-eyed spiders and let them reproduce in my world."

Only in this way can he obtain a steady supply of experimental subjects.

"With an ecological environment, we'll have a place to raise the magical creatures we capture. Even if ordinary magical creatures don't have the same strong reproductive capacity as the Acromantula, they can still reproduce."

When Dylan thought about his suitcase, he realized that there would not only be dragons and shadows, but also a group of cute little spiders, as well as centaurs, unicorns, mermaids, thestrals, and horned camels...

He felt a surge of anticipation in his heart.

With so many magical creatures constantly multiplying and multiplying, his suitcase can be regarded as a small world in the true sense!
"The first ecological environment to be unlocked must be the forest. Deserts, grasslands, mountains, and so on can all be put off until later."

After all, the ecological environment of the forest is relatively complex. In addition to trees, there are naturally various flowers and plants, and small water resources can also be opened together.

Other ecological environments, whether deserts, grasslands, mountains, large lakes, or even small oceans, are too simple compared to forests.

Of course, this singleness refers to the ability to accommodate various magical creatures at the same time.

"It would be great if we could just move the Forbidden Forest in. Hmm - if I could become the headmaster of Hogwarts in the future, I might be able to do this."

Although Dylan is only in the second grade, it does not prevent him from imagining a bright future.

"And Ron's Scabbers. Once the Ministry of Magic has overturned Sirius's case, it's not impossible for him to be my experimental subject. I shouldn't just kill those dark wizards who want to attack me during the summer vacation."

Thinking of this, Dylan couldn't help but sigh.

Otherwise, he would still have several adult wizards as experimental subjects.

"It's a pity."

Dylan raised his wand, and all of a sudden, fifty rays of red light shot out.

The next moment, in the cockroach breeding base that he had circled with the magic spell, fifty little cuties were hit by the Cruciatus Curse in the blink of an eye.

------

[News]: Congratulations on completing the refinement task of Heart-breaking!
[News]: You have activated a new feature of Cruciatus - Pain Spread!
------

"Finally, I cast the Cruciatus Curse ten thousand times."

This is really a laborious job, but fortunately he has the ability to cast spells continuously. In fact, if you really want to care about it, using the Cruciatus Curse on ten thousand creatures is not particularly troublesome.

It took him a lot of effort to find ten thousand creatures to cast the spell.

As we all know, a cockroach nest can give birth to many offspring, and one cockroach can give birth to several nests.

So the moment those little ones were born, they basically died from Dylan's Cruciatus Curse and Shadowless Sword.

Until the reproduction rate of the old cockroaches that have given birth to several waves decreases and the young cockroaches grow up, Dylan will deal with the old wave again, and continue the cycle, continuously creating and utilizing resources.

"Sometimes I think the intensive training tasks given by this system are a bit exaggerated. How many wizards are there in the whole of England?"

"I've only been able to complete three refinement missions with my Cruciatus Curse, and it's already reached the point where I can cast the curse on ten thousand lives."

"So what about the last chance for refinement? Will it be 100,000? Even if I kill all the wizards in England, it won't be enough."

Not to mention England, even if all the wizards in Europe were killed, it probably wouldn't be enough to fill this hole.

Therefore, future refinement tasks will still depend more on the little cockroach family.

Oh yeah, and there's Spider-Man and his family.

Dylan looked at the new abilities he had acquired.

------

【Pain Spreads】:
When you use the Cruciatus Curse, the unlucky person hit by your Cruciatus Curse will transmit his heart pain to three enemies within a radius of four meters.

In the next period of time, the unlucky trio around the unlucky guy will feel the beauty of his heart twitching together with the unlucky guy.

【Note】: Infected people cannot infect others for a second time.

------

Looking at the ability description of this feature, Dylan raised his eyebrows.

This is equivalent to one of his spells, which can be used as four spells?

Dylan originally thought that the pain would continue to spread just by looking at the name of the characteristic, but he didn't expect that it would only spread to the three people around him.

But it doesn't matter, because he has another special feature anyway - continuous casting of spells!
If the people who want to be his enemies are numerous and scattered, Dylan will not be afraid, but will be quite excited!
He simply raised his hand and threw out fifty spells, one of which infected three others, which could definitely cause a large area of ​​damage in an instant!

This way, he won't be afraid of individual attacks, and even if others want to beat him up in a group, he won't have to be afraid anymore!

No matter how many people come, we will defeat them!

"I still need one last chance to activate the refinement feature of the Cruciatus Curse. However, this is only the third task, and I already have to cast the spell on ten thousand creatures to complete it. The last one should wait. I'll go refine the other spells first."

The maximum level spells he now possesses are by no means few, even by the standards of an adult wizard.

So in addition to the Cruciatus Curse, he has many other spells that can add features.

Dylan glanced at his dashboard.

"If I count carefully, I have mastered almost twenty full-level spells."

Dylan is quite satisfied with his current results.

In addition to the full-level spells obtained directly from achievements, Dylan also mastered a few of his own, adding up to a total of nineteen.

Moreover, he has already mastered many spells to level eight or even level nine. He just needs that finishing touch to reach the maximum level!

"Next, I can consider doing some more normal spell refinement tasks, especially the Transfiguration Spell. My proficiency has now reached level nine."

"I guess once I master Animagus, I'll be able to master the Transfiguration spell to its full level."

"There's also the Flying Spell and other offensive spells, but the progress on the Unforgivable Curses can't be completely left behind. Whether it's Soul Reaper or Avada Kedavra, they all need to keep up."

Thinking of this, Dylan felt his head ache again.

Busy, too busy!
Dylan is so busy that he wishes he could split a minute into two halves!
"I don't know if my Kedavra Curse can be refined and directly evolve into the Avada Italian Kedavra Cannon, but looking at the development trend of the Cruciatus Curse, I think it's still possible."

After getting out of the suitcase, it was already late.

Dylan washed up and lay down on the bed.

"Professor McGonagall's birthday is coming up soon. I think it's October 10th. Professor Flitwick's birthday is not far from Professor McGonagall's, it seems to be on the 4th of the same month."

This birthday gift also needs to be prepared in advance.

October is less than a week away.

No matter how busy Dylan is, he will never forget this.

"But what gift should I give? It can't be too shabby, nor too good. Otherwise, if the gift I give out immediately overshadows the one I gave to Professor Snape, who knows what that tsundere will do."

But one thing is certain - Professor Snape might not treat him well throughout this semester!

Until next January!
By then, Dylan will have to rack his brains to think of a better gift for Professor Snape.

But this might make Professor McGonagall and the others jealous...

"Alas, keeping things fair is a real skill! Why can't these professors understand my hard work and just tell me what I want? If the price is right, I'll pay for it. If it's too high, I'll just grit my teeth and pay for it."

Dylan shook his head and decided to think about it tomorrow. He hugged the fully grown Coal Ball, which curled up in his arms but still took up a large space, and slowly fell asleep.

……

The next day was another busy day—but there were still opportunities to take a break.

Since it is a holiday, there is no after-class tutoring from any professor today.

Although Dylan still has many books waiting for him to read, he can still spare some time to think about what birthday gifts he should give to his professors.

"Perhaps I could give Professor McGonagall a handmade Transfiguration research notebook—preferably with some Quidditch elements added to it."

Dylan stroked his chin, pondering the feasibility of this gift.

Of course, the so-called handmade gifts are naturally gifts that are made "purely with the magic wand in hand".

——As a wizard, magic is your own handiwork!
After some racking of brains thinking.

Dylan confirmed Professor McGonagall's birthday present and also decided what to give to Professor Flitwick.

"Doesn't Professor Flitwick like conducting music? Then I'll give him a magic music box. He can see the music himself and use it as a music box to listen to music."

"Anyway, there are a lot of songs that I vaguely remember and made with magic spells. Although they are not too complete, they are still good as demos."

Dylan thought Professor Flitwick would like this gift.

——Whether it was Professor McGonagall or Professor Flitwick, Dylan felt that neither of them was the kind of person who would show off their gifts to Professor Snape.

Therefore, he didn't need to worry too much about improving the quality of the gifts he made and arousing Professor Snape's jealousy.

——Professor Snape is actually not that stingy.

Having made up his mind, Dylan took action.

So in the following time.

Dylan attended classes, read books, did experiments, secretly went into the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid, brewed potions at a certain frequency, looked for answers from professors when he encountered certain problems... and made birthday presents for the two professors.

Fortunately, both Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall delayed his after-school tutoring, which gave Dylan more time to do other things.

"Hey, are you still preparing a gift for the professor?"

In the Gryffindor common room, Hermione noticed Dylan in the corner and walked over.

Dylan nodded slightly.

At this moment he was making a Transfiguration notebook for Professor McGonagall.

The notebook was simple to make, but he wanted Professor McGonagall to be able to see a small Quidditch pitch when she opened it.

Professor McGonagall was even able to use a Transfiguration spell to simulate a Quidditch match. "It was very detailed."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Hermione smiled narrowed her eyes, hugged a few heavy magic books, and sat down next to Dylan.

"The puzzle map of the wizarding world you gave me is very interesting. I have already put it together."

Hearing Hermione's words, Dylan paused slightly and looked back at her.

"You finished it so quickly? That puzzle is quite complicated."

The thing Hermione was talking about was the birthday gift Dylan gave her not long ago.

It just so happened that Hermione's birthday was in September and school had already started, so Dylan's gift could be delivered in person, instead of having to be mailed like Harry had to.

"I haven't been reading much lately. I've been working on that puzzle."

Hermione's eyes sparkled, and perhaps because of the heat, her cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Every time I piece together that map, it creates a three-dimensional spectacle. It also explains many places in the magical world to me. It's more memorable than reading a book."

"I thought you might be interested in this, I'm glad you like it."

Hermione raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Ron has been very depressed recently because you didn't give him a birthday present."

Dylan shrugged and returned his attention to the notebook in front of him.

"It can't be helped. We had just met and I didn't know his birthday. Later, as we got to know each other, I asked around about everyone's birthday. Unexpectedly, his birthday had already passed in March - and he didn't tell me either."

Dylan snorted softly, "I was even thinking maybe he didn't consider me a friend and didn't want to tell me about his birthday."

Hermione's smile remained unchanged, and her fingers gently stroked the edge of the page: "You're right, if he told us his birthday in advance, wouldn't we all be able to give him gifts?"

At this point, Hermione paused, and then suddenly said, "Let's not talk about him. Dylan, your birthday is also in March, right?"

Dylan nodded. "Yeah, March 3th, that's still a month away from Ron."

Hermione pressed the issue: "Why didn't you tell me about it on your birthday?"

Dylan shook his head nonchalantly. "On my birthday, I gave my mother a gift. As for me—I don't think it matters whether I have a birthday or not."

He is already several dozen years old in his past and present lives, so he really doesn't think there is anything to celebrate on his birthday.

Hermione paused and couldn't help but pursed her lips: "This is the anniversary of your coming into this world, I still have to treat it well - at least I have to give you a gift to express my feelings - I mean ours."

Dylan blinked, the magic from the tip of his wand carefully moving across his notebook. "I appreciate your kindness. I'm looking forward to what gift you'll give me next year."

Although Dylan didn't even look at Hermione, Hermione's eyes couldn't help but flash with a gleam, and her tone rose a little: "Don't worry, I can start preparing a gift for you now!"

Dylan was amused. "It's only October now, and my birthday is still five months away. Why don't you think about what to get me for Christmas first?"

Hermione was slightly stunned, and fluttered her eyelashes twice, but nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll think about it!"

At this moment, the light at the tip of Dylan's wand flashed, and then slowly went out.

Dylan's face lit up with joy, and he straightened up: "Finally it's done!"

Hermione looked over curiously at the Transfiguration notebook Dylan had made. The cover was made of soft, dark brown leather. Turning to the first page, which was the page Dylan was opening now, she saw a Quidditch pitch outlined in gold ink.

The wooden stands on the field are neatly arranged, just like the real ones, and the fluttering flags are painted with the logos of different colleges. Whether it is the Golden Snitch, the Bludger or the three Quidditch goals, they are all lifelike.

Dylan flicked his wand and cast a Transfiguration spell.

"Swish"

A flash of light passed, and the originally still Quidditch field seemed to come alive in an instant.

The players above rode their brooms, speeding across the field, chasing the trajectory of the Golden Snitch.

Hermione opened her eyes wide in surprise: "This ability is somewhat similar to the map you gave me."

Dylan didn't deny it: "Although I bought the puzzle map, I also modified it slightly with a spell."

"Well, tomorrow is Professor McGonagall's birthday. Luckily I have today off, otherwise I might not be able to make it."

Dylan breathed a sigh of relief.

The production process of this notebook seems simple, but he has added magic spells in various details on almost every page, so that Professor McGonagall can receive surprises at any time when flipping through the notebook - this is definitely a big project.

Especially for this Quidditch field, Dylan specially found a Quidditch field map and drew it stroke by stroke with his wand himself.

——To some extent, this can be considered as a painting by him.

"I've also prepared a gift for Professor McGonagall, but mine is much simpler than yours." Hermione held a pile of books with a complicated expression. "I wonder if Professor McGonagall would dislike it."

"How could that be? Gifts are a token of thought. As the saying goes, even a small gift is a token of thought. Professor McGonagall will surely be very happy, no matter how big or small the gift is."

Dylan looked at Hermione in surprise. "And if your gift is too valuable, Professor McGonagall might refuse to accept it."

Hermione thought about it and felt that what Dylan said made sense. She nodded and said, "I guess Ron and Harry didn't prepare any gifts for Professor McGonagall."

Dylan smiled and said, "You're wrong this time. Not only did they prepare it, but they also made it by hand, just like me."

Hermione blinked and asked curiously, "Really? Why haven't I heard them mention it before? Do you know what gift they are going to give to Professor McGonagall?"

Dylan smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice, "Harry is going to give Professor McGonagall a troll doll that he transformed, and Ron is going to give a three-headed dog."

Hermione was stunned, her eyes widening. "Doll? Transformed by them? - Are you sure their Transfiguration spell can support them to do this?"

"Even if it could—why is one a three-headed dog and the other a giant monster? I don't think the implication is very good..."

"Hahaha~"

Dylan laughed out loud. "This is a terrible implication indeed. I've tried to dissuade them, but unfortunately they also want to transform other dolls. However, they haven't seen anything before. The three-headed dog and the giant monster are the only relatively powerful creatures they've seen, and the transformation requirements aren't too high."

Hermione was even more puzzled: "If you are talking about strength - Arnold, I mean Beta, even if it is a coal ball, isn't it okay?"

Dylan shrugged. "If it's Beta, how are they going to explain that they've seen it? As for the briquettes—have you forgotten Professor McGonagall's Animagus?"

Hermione said, "But Coal is a black shadow, not a house cat. If you have to describe it, it should be a lynx."

Dylan shrugged again. "Anyway, that's what Ron and the others think. I can't do anything about it. If they want to give it to me, then let them give it to me."

Hermione slapped her forehead. "I have a feeling their gifts will embarrass Professor McGonagall in front of Professor Snape—he'll definitely laugh at her!"

"No way!"

Ron's voice suddenly rang out.

Then, he appeared next to Dylan and Hermione.

Harry also came over.

Seeing the two people coming, Dylan raised an eyebrow: "Is Quidditch training over?"

Harry nodded slightly: "Wood let us go early today."

Ron interrupted, "I think my Transfiguration skills have improved significantly in order to get that three-headed dog model! Professor McGonagall will definitely notice it, and she'll definitely like my gift!"

"—and I'm sure Professor Snape won't laugh at me!"

Harry obviously shared the same thought: "Although the troll is ugly, it's not that easy to transform into. And I'm not just turning into a troll, I'm turning into a scene where Dylan attacks the troll - not just conjuring up a troll doll!"

Hermione was a little surprised. "This kind of transformation is not easy, right? And it has to be maintained all the time. Are you sure you won't give the gift away and then the model will be left in Professor McGonagall's office for a while and turn into a puddle of mud again?"

Ron curled his lips, "We're made of stone! Not mud!"

Harry chuckled, "I don't think so. Ron and I should be able to handle Transfiguration spells pretty well now."

Seeing that both of them seemed to have an inexplicable confidence and persistence, Hermione pursed her lips and said, "Then I wish you good luck."

Dylan, who was standing by, put away the Transfiguration Notebook he had made for Professor McGonagall, raised his eyebrows slightly at Hermione, and then shrugged.

Look at this~ You can’t persuade the young man to be so determined, so just respect his fate~

Instead of staying in the lounge, they went to the restaurant to have dinner together.

Today is Saturday, and tomorrow, Sunday, is Professor McGonagall's birthday.

After dinner, Harry and the others probably hadn't finished making the dolls yet, so they hurried back to the dormitory to tinker with the Transfiguration Charm.

Dylan went to the library with Hermione, returned several banned books, and borrowed a few new ones.

Maybe it was because he came too often in the past month, almost once every week, but Madam Pince looked at him with a strange look in her eyes.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to be a very polite person and never asked Dylan any unnecessary questions.

But Dylan was afraid that she would tell other professors about this, so he would give a brief explanation to her when borrowing books.

For example——

"Mrs. Pince, I'm here to return the book."

Madam Pince looked at him with a calm gaze and an elegant posture.

As he placed Lockhart's signature in front of him, Madam Pince verified its authenticity.

Dylan took the opportunity to say, "The books here don't seem very good, but Professor Lockhart insisted that I study a few and let him tutor me. Do you have any recommendations?"

Madam Pince raised her eyes. "You can refuse. Reading too many books here will affect your mind."

Dylan seemed quite helpless: "I know that too, but Professor Lockhart - you know him. The professor insisted, so I couldn't refuse."

Madam Pince frowned slightly. "Do you want me to tell Professor Dumbledore for you?"

Dylan showed a hint of gratitude on his face, but shook his head. "Thank you, but no thanks. The other professors have no objection to me studying this part, so I'll continue."

Madam Pince then nodded gently: "In that case, then go in and put the book away."

Dylan smiled: "Yes, ma'am, thank you for your kindness."

He also walked into the restricted area gracefully, then turned back, winked at Hermione, and went deeper into it.

Hermione didn't come in with him, one reason being that she didn't want to tear up her own name that she had signed in line and give it to someone else.

Another reason is that she is not very interested in banned books.

Professors said that the contents of the banned books were all evil rituals and black magic.

Repeated use may distort your mind, and it is even more likely that if you use it carelessly, you will turn yourself into an ugly monster.

——Those dark wizards are all quite ugly.

Hermione didn't want to become like them.
