Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 154: Hehehe! Tom, what a lively body! You are more pleasing to me than that ugly thing Voldemort.

Dylan drove Weasley and others away.

Explain to Neville and the others that I will stay in the suitcase from now on.

While Neville and Seamus were out chatting with other classmates.

Dylan flashed his body, used the power of the coal ball's black shadow, and took advantage of the night to sneak directly into the shadows.

……

"Oh! Harry, is there anything else you want me to do?"

Myrtle was floating in the air, and when she saw Harry and the other two walking in from the door, she looked shy.

She is short and fat, and has a lot of acne on her face.

"Nothing more...it's just that this professor and I have some things to do. Can you please go and cry aside?"

Myrtle sniffed, "Of course."

Harry had contacted Myrtle after Hermione's accident, and he had vaguely guessed at that time that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets might be inside the sink in this bathroom.

This time, he once again verified his idea.

Harry quickly found a snake-shaped pattern under a faucet and whispered the opening spell in Parseltongue.

There was a teeth-grinding friction sound, and the ground slowly cracked open, revealing a dark and deep passage.

The passage was filled with a damp and foul smell, and sticky green moss was climbing on the walls.

"Hiss! This... this looks like the entrance to hell that Dylan mentioned." Ron gasped.

Looking at the seemingly deep passage, Harry paused, but had already made up his mind: "I want to go down."

He couldn't help but go.

The sooner we find Ginny now, the better our chances of saving her!
"Shouldn't we call Dylan over first..." Ron hesitated.

"There's no time. Ginny might be being persecuted right now!" Harry shook his head.

Ron was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Well, he almost never participates in these things with us anyway."

Lockhart looked at the two of them, then at the water pipe that seemed to be able to swallow him in one gulp. He swallowed and a hint of his usual smile appeared on his face.

"Well, it seems you don't need me anymore, so I'll..."

"You are the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Now, it is your turn to explore the way."

Harry pointed his wand at Lockhart.

Lockhart looked quite reluctant, but Ron pushed him away in an unpleasant manner.

"I'm not even scared yet, where do you want to run to!" Ron roared.

"what--"

Lockhart's figure fell to the bottom of the passage.

"Hey, this is so dirty! I shouldn't be in a place like this!"

See that the other party is fine.

Harry and Ron were about to go down.

Myrtle, however, floated over again: "Harry, if you died, I would be very welcome to share the toilet with you."

The corner of Harry's mouth twitched, and the first thing that popped into his mind was a sentence Dylan once said to Malfoy.

——This guy actually has a good skin and good bones. He looks like a big butt bone, but he still thinks so beautifully. It's amazing.

——This sentence once made Malfoy so angry that he had an epileptic seizure, and he didn't bother anyone for a whole week.

Taking a deep breath, Harry forced a smile.

Anyway, Myrtle did help him a lot.

Of course, he wouldn't say these words to Myrtle's face.

"Thank you."

Harry sank into the pipe, and Ron followed closely behind.

"huhu"

The sound of wind came.

The feeling of weightlessness from falling rapidly made their hearts beat faster and they couldn't help but scream.

"boom!"

When they landed, they immediately stepped on a pile of white bones.

"Ah!" Ron lifted his foot in disgust. "How much did that monster eat here?"

Harry looked around. "This pipe is very deep. Deeper than the dungeon."

Ron nodded, pointed his wand at Lockhart, and surveyed the slimy walls around him. "I think we're at the bottom of the lake," he said.

"Lumos!"

Harry's wand glowed.

"Let's go, Ginny must still be in there."

Several people walked slightly forward.

The passage gradually became wider.

A huge cave appeared before their eyes.

At this time, the cave was still filled with a pungent fishy smell.

Harry immediately saw the huge snake skin in front of him, which had a creepy and slippery luster in the dim light.

It is green and very bright.

He frowned and walked over.

"Oh my god, this snake has to be at least twenty feet long, right?" Ron exclaimed from the back, "And it looks like a venomous snake!"

"The basilisk is a venomous snake." Harry frowned.

Lockhart stared behind the two men, his eyes suddenly rolled back, his knees gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

"What? Wait, Harry, he seems..."

Ron stopped and moved closer to Lockhart.

Unexpectedly, Lockhart turned over and snatched the wand from Ron's hand.

"Hey!" Ron was startled.

"The adventure ends here, kids!"

Lockhart fainted tactically, and after snatching Ron's wand, he wrapped himself in his dirty but still colorful robes and pointed his wand at the two of them.

"Now, I'm going to take this belt back to the school and tell them that I was too late to save the girl, and that when you saw her bloody body, you lost your minds in a heartbreaking way."

"Now, say goodbye to your memories!"

Lockhart held Ron's wand in his hand.

——The tape on the wand once again caused Ron to explode when he cast a spell, so Dylan wrapped it again with invisible tape.

Stability has been slightly improved.

But not much.

Lockhart raised his wand high above his head.

"Obliviate!"

Bang!
The spell bounced back instantly.

A bright light flashed.

An explosion occurs.

Lockhart screamed and fell straight back.

at the same time.

The explosion of the wand triggered a chain reaction, and rocks began to fall from the top of the cave.

Ron quickly stepped back to avoid being hit by the rocks, but the passage was soon blocked by the rubble.

"Ron! Ron! How are you?" Harry was suddenly startled and hurried forward, looking inside through the cracks in the stone.

"I'm fine - it's just this stupid guy... he seems to have lost his memory." Ron stood there, a little at a loss.

He raised his head and looked upwards, terrified that the entire tunnel would collapse.

"Wait here—with Lockhart, while I go on ahead and find Ginny!"

Harry made his decision immediately.

If they continue to waste time here carrying stones.

I'm afraid Ginny will become like those bones!
"Okay..." Ron tried his best to keep his tone steady, "Then I'll move these rocks first, so you can... you can get back out of here in a while."

"See you later!" Harry turned and walked away, past the huge snake skin.

Ron looked in the direction Harry had left, gritted his teeth, and turned his attention back to the pile of stones blocking the passage.

He bent down, grabbed a stone with both hands, and lifted it up with force.

However, the stone was heavier than one could imagine.

Every inch of movement was extremely difficult.

Ron's face flushed red and he kept making gasping sounds.

Just as he was concentrating on dealing with the stone.

Suddenly, a vague outline appeared in the void beside him.

Then, a puzzled voice was heard.

"Why don't you use your wand?"

"Where would I even need a wand? What? Wait, you're…"

Ron was taken aback by the sudden question.

But after he answered instinctively, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

He turned his head, trying to see who was coming, but was blinded by a bright light.

"Obliviate!"

The low voice echoed softly in the cave.

Ron's movements suddenly stopped, his tense muscles relaxed instantly, and he collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, just like Lockhart, temporarily losing consciousness.

"It takes no effort at all."

Dylan stroked the shadow ring on his hand, a slight smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Lockhart, who was knocked unconscious by Ron's stone, and tapped his wand again.

Lockhart, who was lying on the ground, disappeared in the blink of an eye and was put into the suitcase by Dylan.

——He placed a box in his dormitory that he asked his father to customize for him in advance, which was exactly the same as his own pet space suitcase.

Anyway, it's impossible for Neville and the others to open the box to check the situation.

Even if they wanted to, Dylan had cast a spell around them.

Unless they can get a professor over.

Otherwise, they would not be able to get in on their own.

After putting Lockhart into the suitcase.

Dylan's eyes returned to the pile of rocks in front of him.

Unlike Ron, he did not go to great lengths to move the stone. Instead, his figure became ethereal again, and he followed the shadow, sank into the stone, and then passed through it directly.

"It smells terrible."

Dylan smelled the stench of decay in the cave and curled his lips slightly.

But anyway, this smells much better than the last time I encountered the troll.

It's just some foul smell that keeps fermenting in this dark and closed environment, which produces the smell.

Instead of the troll's smell, it was a mixture of rotten food, sour sweat, and spoiled organs.

Once inhaled, all the internal organs will be violently stirred, and the stomach acid will surge.

——Dylan stood here and didn't even need to put on a bubble to isolate himself from the stench.

"It's really a long piece of skin, but it was cut."

Dylan walked over to the snake skin shed by the basilisk.

"It's a shame it's not complete. It must have been crushed by the basilisk after molting. But it's in pieces, so I can make something out of it."

Dylan studied the snakeskin beneath his feet—in fact, it was almost as high as his chest.

"Basilisk skin may seem useless, but in reality, it's not only tough, but can also deflect most spells. It's a great choice for making small items, hanging them on your body, or even making a robe out of them."

Dylan walked along and collected all the snake skins.

The basilisk has extremely strong magical powers, and its skin may also contain some special magic.

Dylan plans to experiment with some snake skin.

Let’s see if this material can become one of the main materials for his research and development of new medicines.

——If possible, Dylan must take good care of this snake monster deep in the cave.

……

At the same time, Harry's figure walked in a dimly lit empty room.

There are many stone pillars with giant snakes carved on them. The snake patterns are coiled and entangled on the pillars, supporting the ceiling that melts into the darkness and casting strange and huge black shadows on the ground.

Harry gripped his wand tightly, his heart pounding.

The dim environment made his adrenaline continue to secrete - he felt that he could even kill a cow with one spell!

Soon, he saw a petite figure lying on the ground at the front of the room, her hair red as flames.

"Ginny!"

Harry's eyes widened and he immediately ran over, dropping his wand on the ground.

"Ginny, don't die!"

Harry grabbed Ginny's shoulders, but the sight of her cold, bloodless face made him even more panicked.

"Wake up, wake up!"

At this moment, a tall boy with black hair suddenly walked out slowly from the shadow beside a stone pillar.

Looking at Harry's anxious face, he had a cold expression and opened his mouth to speak.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

"She's so pale and looks so cute lying on the ground, but it's not good. She'll catch a cold."

"?!"

Riddle was startled.

——He really jumped away.

"Who are you?!"

Riddle stared at Dylan warily.

His eyes were still looking towards Harry.

However, he was surprised to find that the other party was still crying bitterly, trying to wake up the naive little girl, as if he didn't notice the situation on his side at all.

Dylan, wearing Karsus's black robe, slowly walked out of the darkness.

"Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you."

Riddle's eyelid twitched.

But soon, he calmed down and narrowed his eyes.

"What you just said was really perverted."

Beneath the mask, Dylan's brows raised slightly. "Oh? You possessed a little girl and manipulated her into becoming a pervert?"

Riddle's expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly froze again.

"How do you know?"

"Hehehe, I've always known this."

"who are you?"

"Time is running out. Now, do as I say."

Riddle's eyes flicked to where Harry's wand lay lying on the ground.

"Oh, you can't do wandless casting yet?"

"..."

Riddle gradually backed away in Harry's direction.

Dylan just stood there quietly.

"You really had a nose and eyes when you were a kid."

"what?"

Riddle was stunned.

He frowned and rushed behind him in an instant: "Harry Potter! Come here!"

However, his body was confined to the spot and his voice could not be heard.

Seeing this, Riddle was angry and raised his voice again: "Harry!"

"Stop screaming! No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out."

Dylan looked at Riddle with satisfaction in his eyes.

"Hehe, after you became Voldemort, you became so ugly that I lost all interest in you. But you are different. You are still so young and so full of life."

"I am Voldemort!"

A crack appeared in Riddle's expression.

The sudden change at this moment was completely beyond his expectations.

The other party's methods made him completely unable to sense what the other party had done - this was what frightened him the most.

"And what do you mean by that? I'm just a memory! And—I'm only sixteen!"

"Of course I know."

The corners of Dylan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer: "But it is precisely because you are young that your memory and soul are more valuable for experiments."

"what?"

Dylan raised his wand: "Imperius Curse!"

"What? How could you..."

Riddle didn't even have time to react.

He felt a sharp pain in his head.

The next moment, Dylan waved his wand again.

His figure disappeared, and the spell that bound Riddle also disappeared.

"thump"

Riddle's body suddenly became lighter, and he fell out, finally sitting on his buttocks on the ground.

Harry finally noticed Riddle.

Seeing him appear out of nowhere, I couldn't help but be stunned.

"You...you are Tom?"

Riddle came back to his senses when he heard the sound. Looking at the scene in front of him, he instinctively felt that he seemed to be doing something important, but he could not remember what had happened before.

But an inexplicable impulse was driving him.

His hand slowly reached for the notebook in his arms.

"Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Hogwarts Four."

Riddle muttered to himself.

As he finished speaking, a huge noise came from deep in the secret room, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

On the wall beside them, Slytherin's huge stone face moved, his mouth opened wide, and finally formed a terrifying black hole.

Something was moving in the statue's mouth, making a rustling and sliding sound.

Harry stepped back quickly, but soon noticed his wand.

However, just as he was about to take it, Riddle kicked him away.

"Don't count on that useless thing. Your spell can't threaten the basilisk."

"sizzle"

The sound of spitting out information was heard.

A huge snake monster slowly swam out.

Its scales gleamed with a cold light, and its blood-red vertical pupils revealed ferocity.

Harry's face changed drastically when he saw this.

Now he is unarmed, how can he fight this guy?
"A wizard would actually throw away his wand."

At this moment, Karsus emerged from the shadows.

Riddle's head started to throb again when he saw him.

The basilisk and Harry both looked at him.

"You are……"

"Little guy, a foolish wizard like you is not worthy of knowing my name."

Dylan looked at the huge basilisk, his eyes almost shining.

What a strong and powerful body.

I'm sure it can withstand his experiment!

"Erebus Nexus!"

Dylan's wand twirled slightly.

The basilisk could not feel the master's orders, and its instinct made it sense the danger from this uninvited guest, so it couldn't help but hiss and bared its teeth.

A strange inky light bloomed from the tip of the wand in Dylan's hand.

The next moment, a slight sizzling sound was heard in the air.

Spirals of black air emanated from beneath his feet, gradually surrounding him.

At the same time, eyes glowing with a strange red light appeared out of thin air.

These eyes were of different sizes, with no whites, only scarlet pupils. As soon as they appeared, they began to spin around Dylan.

In the fog, the dark red light of these eyes flickered more and more violently.

The basilisk sensed a sense of threat, and its originally held high head retracted slightly, and its sturdy body twisted uneasily.

Its eyes turned to Riddle.

However, the latter just stood there stupidly without responding to it at all.

Basilisk:?

—It didn’t petrify him!
Unable to wait for orders, the basilisk could not abandon Riddle and leave directly, so it could only twist its body in place, and its hard scales rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound.

It opened its mouth, let out a low roar from its throat, stared straight at the person in front of it, and tried to kill this guy with magic.

However, when its gaze fell on the blood-red eyeballs floating around the human wizard.

It felt that its little remaining wisdom was rapidly dissipating under this strange oppression.

His movements were chaotic and his head dodged in an instant. He no longer looked at Dylan, but instead huddled behind Riddle.

The original ferocious aura disappeared completely in its cowardly movements.

Harry's eyes widened, shock and fear written all over his face.

Just by taking a quick look at this mysterious man, he felt as if countless needles were piercing his brain at the same time.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Harry kept backing away.

Dylan stood in the black fog, and the gloomy environment around him made him look even more weird and terrifying.

Then, a peculiar deep voice echoed in the secret room.

"Tom, throw yourself into the arms of Karsus. You will become my best experimental subject—along with this basilisk."

"Avada Kedavra!"

A dazzling white holy light burst out from the tip of the wand in Dylan's hand.

With a high-pitched whistling sound, it hit Riddle.

“What the ***???”

Riddle's body jerked violently, and the dark aura around him was instantly shattered by the Unforgivable Curse.

But, it is not a real living organism after all.

Riddle was not dead, but his figure became more elusive.

And as his strength waned, Ginny, who lay unconscious on the ground, also changed.

Her originally pale face gradually regained its rosy color, her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and the breath of life returned to her body.

Dylan flicked his wand, and Riddle disappeared along with the diary.

He walked towards the basilisk again.

The basilisk felt Dylan approaching, and its huge body trembled continuously and was forced to retreat.

Dylan's eyes fell on it.

However, the basilisk was so frightened that it closed its eyes tightly, not daring to look directly at the terrifying human in front of it.

Stand still before the basilisk.

Dylan wasn't worried that the guy would suddenly open his mouth and swallow him in one gulp.

Dylan twirled his wand gently over the basilisk's head.

"Reducio...Reducio (Quickly reduce)..."

The basilisk's body, which was obviously difficult to be affected by the spell, was shrinking under Dylan's spell.

Until it shrank from a majestic basilisk into a tiny snake, and was easily held in Dylan's hand.

Dylan grabbed the black snake, tilted his head slightly, and then wrapped it directly around his wrist.

After doing all this, Dylan turned to look at Harry.

At this moment, he was closing his eyes tightly and his body was trembling.

Now was a good time to test whether his spell would be reflected back at Harry.

— but Dylan wasn’t too keen on trying.

What does it matter whether it is yes or no?

There was no way he could grab Harry and put him in the suitcase to study.

Seeing his TH value dropping rapidly, Dylan raised the corners of his lips and revealed a meaningful smile.

Then his figure flashed and disappeared in the secret room.

Waited for a while.

Harry didn't get any response.

——Everything is so quiet.

Harry closed his eyes tightly, but still dared not breathe.

Every second after Dylan disappeared seemed to be stretched infinitely.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the pounding of Harry's violent heartbeat in his ears.

Harry tried his best not to recall the appearance of the mysterious man just now.

However, the more he tried not to recall it, the more the horrifying scene would appear in his mind.

Harry was afraid that as soon as he opened his eyes, he would see a horrible face or those strange eyes, standing silently in front of him, staring at him, right in front of him.

But I waited and waited.

Apart from his own rapid breathing, there was no other sound.

Suddenly, Ginny's soft moan broke the silence.

Harry's heart tightened, and after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.

However, the scene before him completely stunned him.

The entire secret room was empty.

The dense fog, the giant basilisk, Tom, and the mysterious man in black robe who called himself Karsus.

It was as if it had never appeared and disappeared completely.

Dim light fell on the ground.

Harry stood there blankly, his mind blank.

"Um……"

At this moment, another hum from Ginny brought him back to his senses.

"Ginny!"

Harry ignored the doubts in his mind and ran towards Ginny with stumbling steps.

Just as he was about to run to Ginny, a sound of flapping wings came from the other side of the Chamber of Secrets passage.

Harry turned his head unconsciously.

I saw a phoenix emitting soft golden light all over its body flying towards me at high speed.

The phoenix was still clutching a tattered hat in its claws.

Harry recognized it immediately; it was the Sorting Hat.

The phoenix flew to the center of the Chamber of Secrets, chirped crisply, and then rushed straight towards Harry.

——It was originally intended to carry Dumbledore's instructions and deliver something of vital importance to Harry.

But when it came close to Harry, it couldn't help but flutter its wings, suddenly stopped, and its body stagnated slightly.

"Ming?"

The secret room was empty.

There was no one else there except Harry, who looked stunned, and Ginny, who was gradually waking up but still looked confused.

Fawkes circled slowly in the air, eventually flying next to Harry.

"Oh! A surprised little boy and a confused little girl. You both look like you've eaten half-cooked belladonna."

"Hey, put me down now! It's uncomfortable to be held by you. You should let Dumbledore trim your nails!"

"Ming!"

Fawkes raised his paw and dropped the Sorting Hat into Harry's arms.

"Your actions are so rude!"

Harry held the Sorting Hat, and the tip of the hat shook.

"So what's going on now? Dumbledore had it rush me here, but nothing seems to have happened to you. I finally had a chance to pull the sword out of my body."

"--You know what? It's really uncomfortable to be penetrated all the time! I'm just a hat! Not a scabbard!"
