Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 155: Meet Vera Again? Basilisk: This is a monster!
Dylan calmly followed the shadows back to the dormitory.

He no longer needs to worry about what happens next.

Just let Karsas come forward and get everything done in front of Harry.

The rest would naturally be explained by Harry to Old Dumbledore.

He just needs to continue his research.

When Dylan returned to the dormitory, there was not even a single person in it.

Neville and Seamus's luggage, however, was quietly placed on their respective beds, looking a little messy, as if only half packed.

I guess he was dragged out by Weasley and the others while he was packing his luggage.

Dylan was about to put away the box next to his bed and replace it with a real pet space suitcase.

However, at this moment, the door of his dormitory was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"boom!"

The loud noise startled Dylan.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Did he just discover that he had taken away all the basilisks and Horcruxes?

That’s not right, how is this possible?

He just came back and hadn't even run into Fox. It was impossible for Old Deng to know about this, so no one should have discovered the specific situation!

It can't be that Harry has a pair of flaming eyes like Sun Wukong, right?

Could the magic Lily cast on him be this powerful?

Turning around, Dylan saw two Aurors walking into his dormitory as if no one was around.

"You guys..." Dylan raised his eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise on his face.

"There's actually a little ghost here? What are you doing here? Are you trying to hide some dark object?!"

"I just asked everyone to gather outside, why are you still here? What's your name?"

The two Aurors looked aggressive and walked towards Dylan quickly after seeing him.

The two men were tall, and under the dim light, their shadows cast on the ground appeared particularly long and narrow.

The Auror walking in front had cold eyes, as if covered with frost, and looked straight at Dylan.

Another Auror narrowed his eyes and asked the same question.

Dylan reacted quickly.

This was obviously someone sent by the Ministry of Magic.

He was startled and thought they were here to arrest him.

It turns out it was just searching for something.

Certain idiots in the Ministry of Magic, and that old guy who relies on his wealth and family background to have close relationships with various officials in the Ministry of Magic, don’t they think that they can directly overthrow Dumbledore in this way?

The students are all leaving tomorrow, but now they suddenly send someone over. Have they received news that the heir is about to appear?
Or... received the news that Voldemort was about to be resurrected?
Ha ha.

But now, no matter which situation it is.

Those hoping to see Dumbledore's downfall were doomed to be disappointed.

Whether it is the heir of Slytherin or Voldemort who may be resurrected at any time.

Now they are all in his pocket.

There was no way he would let little Tom go.

No matter what, we have to wait until he has thoroughly studied things like Horcruxes.

"Hawkwood, sir, I was just reading in my suitcase and have only just come out. I don't know what happened."

The two Aurors paused slightly, looked at each other, and then glanced at the suitcase at Dylan's feet.

"Open your box now. I suspect there is some dark magic inside!"

Dylan frowned slightly.

——In fact, he was not afraid of the other party checking his imitation box.

Because when he customized it, he cast a traceless stretching spell on it.

Although the space inside is not big, it is more than enough for one person to read or even brew potions.

But why did he let the other party see his box?
And even if he let the other party see it, would the other party continue to embarrass him?
This is also a problem.

He naturally had some guesses in his mind as to whose orders these Aurors came.

Could it be that old Malfoy wanted to take this opportunity to avenge the insult he gave Malfoy in the bookstore?
This old thing.

Just like his son, he really deserves to be scolded!

When they meet again, Dylan will make sure to let this guy know what cruelty is!
"Gentlemen, I don't quite understand what's going on. Are you going to search me? Do you have a search warrant from the Ministry of Magic?"

The two Aurors frowned when they heard this.

"What nonsense! Open your box now! Don't force us to do it!"

Dylan glanced at the tall man who was shouting the loudest.

This guy looks familiar.

It seemed to be the guy who was attacked by the Auror he controlled with Dementia in Knockturn Alley.

Dylan's eyes turned slightly cold.

When the Auror met his gaze, he was startled by his gaze.

——This familiar feeling.

He immediately caught Dylan's eye.

However, what he saw was the helplessness and compromise of a wizard who had not yet reached adulthood.

"Okay, sir, although I don't know whether your behavior is legal or not, since you asked me to do so, I will do it."

The tall Auror was stunned. He felt that Dylan's words seemed to be hinting at something, but he couldn't react.

The bearded Auror next to him frowned. "Of course we have a search warrant, otherwise we wouldn't be standing here. Now, open your suitcase immediately!"

I really want to kill both of them with a killing curse, and then use their corpses to bloom obsidian flowers.

Dylan paused.

Just when he was about to open the suitcase he had imitated.

Another person walked in from the door.

"Why are you making such a big noise?"

The person who came was a woman who looked quite young. She had long brown hair tied into a ponytail and fell behind her. She was wearing a black uniform, which highlighted her slender curves.

Dylan and the woman looked at each other, and they were both stunned.

"Sister Vera?"

"Dylan? So you're here."

Vera's expression was cold, but a smile curved up the corners of her eyes.

"I was just reading in my suitcase and didn't know what was going on," Dylan replied.

Vera nodded and waved her smooth, scallion-like fingers at the two Aurors. "Get out. There's no need for you to search this place."

The two Aurors were stunned, as if they didn't expect that the person assigned to be the leader of their search team actually knew this little wizard.

The tall Auror opened his mouth, but seeing Vera's cold expression, he said nothing in the end. He put away the peephole in his hand and strode towards the door.

Although Vera was six or seven years younger than him, this little girl's cruelty was almost known to everyone in the Ministry of Magic!
Don't be fooled by her young age, as if she just graduated from college, in fact, her abilities are quite solid and her strength is extremely powerful.

Especially her skill of freezing the earth and the sky - that is, the freezing spell, she can make a flower bloom with it!
Attack, defend, disarm, and trap the enemy...

Anyone who wanted to bully this little girl by relying on age or seniority was severely punished!
This also made her become a celebrity among the Aurors in just two years. I heard that some people above her wanted to promote this girl.

Although they followed Lucius, whether they were Aurors or wizards of a higher level, they had all received a lot of benefits from Lucius.

However, it is impossible for their superiors to openly attack a talented wizard, so they do not want to have any conflict with Vera now.

Not to mention that Vera is from the Fosco family.

Even though the Fosco family has declined now and is no longer one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans, it was once a glorious pure-blood family.

No matter what, it's not something these low-level soldiers in the Ministry of Magic can cause trouble.

Who knows if Vera's father will rush out of the children's ice cream shop he opened in Diagon Alley to avenge his daughter and die with them!
After the two Aurors left.

Vera then walked towards Dylan.

"I heard from Professor Flitwick that you can even help Professor Snape brew the Mandrake resurrection potion?"

For a beauty - an adult beauty at that.

Dylan smiled shyly: "This is all thanks to Professor Snape's teaching. I definitely can't do it myself."

Vera raised the corner of her mouth slightly. "I heard that when the people were first attacked, it was you who saved them with the resurrection potion you brewed."

"——If Professor Snape had taught you, he would definitely have had a potion. However, the fact is that the academy waited until now to finally get the new Mandrake recovery potion."

"I must admit that Professor Snape told me the potion formula before. I just brew a lot of potions normally, and I only managed to mix these two bottles."

Dylan blinked and didn't continue the topic: "Sister Vera, what are you doing here this time?"

"I heard from those two people just now that you seemed to be searching for some dark object."

Vera's face grew serious, and she nodded slightly, her golden brown hair swaying slightly. "To be precise, we don't have a clear purpose. It's just that someone reported that a murder was about to occur at Hogwarts, so the Ministry of Magic sent us here."

Dylan raised an eyebrow.

"The Chamber of Secrets incident has caused panic among the people, and the Ministry of Magic is also worried that something might go wrong here."

"We were asked to come here because we are worried that Hogwarts students will continue to be threatened, and because the Ministry of Magic believes that the temporary expulsion of Headmaster Dumbledore from the school may cause Hogwarts to fall into management chaos."

"Therefore, we must ensure the safety and stability of the school, and strive to find the source of the dark magic threatening students and the mastermind behind the Chamber of Secrets."

Dylan nodded. "But after the news of the Hogwarts murder got out, it should have triggered public opinion outside, right?"

Vera looked at Dylan in surprise: "How did you know?"

Dylan smiled and said, "It's just a reasonable logical assumption."

Vera didn't deny it. "I don't know who spread the news that a murder was going to happen at Hogwarts. The widespread coverage has put the Ministry of Magic under a lot of pressure."

"Furthermore, Professor Dumbledore was temporarily stripped of his position as headmaster and expelled from Hogwarts, which caused dissatisfaction among many people."

Dylan chuckled: "So the Ministry of Magic had to send people over to stabilize the situation."

"That's right, but there doesn't seem to be any real murders happening at Hogwarts right now. We suspect someone has hidden dark magic items in the school, so we've launched a search, hoping to find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets at the same time."

"Not yet, but a student has been kidnapped, and there might be a murder soon," Dylan replied.

"We are also trying our best to search for the entrance to the secret room, hoping to find the girl before she is harmed." Vera sighed.

Dylan also showed a look of worry at the right time: "Everything that has been going on lately is really terrible."

"Oh, who says it isn't?" Vera sighed again.

She didn't hold the spyglass in her hand, but simply scanned the entire room.

"You don't have any Dark Arts items here. Come with me out to the common room and meet up with your classmates. We'll finish the search quickly."

Vera's tone towards Dylan was not as cold as when she spoke to the two Aurors, but rather a little softer.

Dylan nodded, but didn't insist on staying in the dormitory.

——The basilisk now looked frightened and stupid, and with Norbeta guarding it, Dylan used several black magic spells to suppress its soul when he put it into the suitcase, so it couldn't make any waves at all.

Walking out of the dormitory, we came to the Gryffindor common room, which was almost crowded. Basically all the Gryffindor students gathered here.

As soon as Vera brought Dylan over, she attracted a lot of people's attention.

Percy seemed to know Vera. He walked over and stood next to Dylan: "What's wrong with this kid?"

"No." Vera shook her head.

Before she could say anything else.

Suddenly, the door to the Gryffindor common room burst open.

"Ms. Vera, the professors have received new news. The monster in the secret room has been kidnapped by Kael'thas!"

"what?!"

Vera's face changed suddenly when she heard this.

"Why is Karsus in Hogwarts?!"

The Auror who came to report the news took two breaths and shook his head in confusion.

"I do not know."

Vera frowned and said, "I understand. Everyone, gather up and follow me to the professor!"

As she gave the order, the Aurors who were searching the rooms of these young wizards in the dormitory also retreated.

"You guys stay here, close the door tightly, and don't run around!"

Vera raised her voice, her voice clear and bright.

Then she lowered her head and looked at Dylan: "Go back and continue reading. You are really hardworking. Study hard."

Patting Dylan on the shoulder, Vera quickly left the Gryffindor common room with four Aurors.

Wait until everyone is gone.

A group of little lions were discussing anxiously.

"Karsus? I've heard of this name! My second uncle works at the Ministry of Magic. He said this guy is a very evil dark wizard! He killed a lot of people! He even called himself the Fool and wanted to send everyone to the afterlife!"

"I've heard about it too! Karsus has appeared in Knockturn Alley several times, and each time he killed many people with extremely vicious Unforgivable Curses! And if he ordered him to, he would take all the money from those poor wizards!"

"Ah, is this true? What Karsus? Who is that?"

twitter.

Some young wizards heard some news about Karsus from their families and told them all at once.

Karsus is evil, vicious, insidious, despicable and shameless. He is known as a fool. He loves killing people and robbing money. This reputation is known to all the little lions.

Dylan: “…”

His eye twitched.

What the hell are these guys talking about?
Even though he stole the money, didn't he also make some silly remarks? That was to raise money for his great cause!
And, most importantly—

How can you say that a fool is robbing?
This is called begging!

What's more, he is not albino. Didn't he save all those people in the end?
They were all sent to the Ministry of Magic's prison, and it wasn't Azkaban, with food and drink provided for a while. Wouldn't that be a wonderful life?
"My father said that even on vacation recently, I should avoid going outside because it's not safe outside!"

"Yes, that's what my family told me. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to stay in school during the Easter holiday!"

"Huh? So you all didn't leave because of this!"

"This is no small matter! That Karsus is very skilled in dark magic! A group of Aurors rushed over but couldn't hurt him at all. In the end, they ended up getting injured themselves and had to run back to the Ministry in disgrace."

"So strong?"

"That's right! Some people even regard him as the new Dark Lord! When I went home on Christmas Day, I saw a group of dark wizards in an alley, and some were chanting his name! They were like a group of cultists! I was so scared that I ran home!"

Dylan listened to the Gryffindors' conversation with a raised brow.

Has Karthus' name spread this far?
Then why aren't there any new achievements popping up?

"Hey, Dylan, are you okay? We just heard an argument coming from the dorms while we were here."

Neville and Seamus came over, and so did Dean.

The Weasley twins squeezed in and winked at Dylan.

"Did you take action and teach those Aurors a lesson?"

"No, how could that be? That's not the case."

Dylan shook his head, then looked at Percy: "Do you know Sister Vera?"

"A senior who has excellent grades but is very cold and low-key." Percy nodded. "How did you get to know her?"

"Yeah, we met over ice cream." Dylan smiled. "Why are they suddenly searching our dorm? Will these Aurors search other places as well?"

Neville had a timid look on his face. "I heard it was. Seamus and I were packing our bags when an Auror suddenly broke in and gathered us here. He said he suspected someone was hiding dark magic items."

Dean rolled his eyes. "How is that possible? There's no way a dark wizard would appear in Gryffindor! It's certainly impossible for anyone to use dark magic items!"

Seamus nodded as well. "Yeah, I've hardly ever heard of a dark wizard from Gryffindor."

Dean snorted. "It's obvious those guys aren't really here to search. They look like they're deliberately looking for trouble! If that girl hadn't stopped them, those male Aurors would have attacked us!"

Neville whispered, "Someone was severely reprimanded just now for saying something, especially those students who are not pure-bloods."

Dean curled his lips. "They don't even use their tiny brains to think about it. How could anyone in Gryffindor turn to darkness? Unless that person is a fool!"

Dylan: (.)
The curse was a bit dirty.

Dylan coughed lightly, interrupting the topic.

"Anyway, now that they've left, we should hurry back. We don't know what the situation is over there, so we should pack our luggage first."

Neville was the first to respond to Dylan's call and nodded.

"I think what Dylan said makes sense. Although I just heard them say that the monster in the secret room was taken away by that Karsus, this will only make the school more dangerous! We should quickly pack up and go home tomorrow."

Not many students returned to the dormitory to pack their luggage, but Dylan didn't care about others and returned to the dormitory with Neville and Seamus.

Dean, Weasley and the others also left.

——The twins didn't want to leave, but Percy pushed them back.

After returning to the dormitory, Dylan said to Neville and the others, "I don't have much to pack, so I'll go back to reading. Your bed is a mess, so hurry up and tidy it up."

Neville and Seamus nodded.

"I just don't know where Harry and the others are now. They're nowhere to be seen in the common room."

"Maybe they are following the professor. We don't need to worry too much. If something happened, the Auror wouldn't have just said that."

"Neville, you come from a pure-blood wizard family. Do you know who Karsus is that they mentioned outside just now?"

"I'm not too sure. I heard my father talk about it when I went home for Christmas, but I overheard it. I asked my grandmother, but she told me not to pay too much attention to it and to focus on learning magic."

"All right……"

Neville and Seamus discussed Karsus and Harry while packing their luggage.

Dylan pretended to take out a suitcase and threw it on his bed, then calmly took away the box beside the bed and took out the pet space suitcase.

He opened the lid of the box and got in.

As soon as he entered, Dylan heard a mooing sound in his ears.

Dylan looked over.

It seemed that the basilisk was showing signs of recovery.

The huge snake's head turned slightly. Although its eyelids were still unable to open, it tried its best to narrow them into a slit and looked at the black ball of wool that kept jumping on its face.

"Moo~moo~"

But when she looked to the left, the ball of yarn would jump to the other side.

When it looks to the right, the ball of yarn will jump onto its head again, and then slap its eyes with a claw, making it so painful that it can no longer keep its eyes squinting and close them tightly again.

This damn black ball of yarn is so small, how can it be so strong?!
The problem is, its soul has not yet completely broken free from the shackles of those evil spells.

This made it unable to move at all, and it had no way or means to resist the actions of this damn ball of yarn.

It was so angry that its gallbladder was about to burst!
"Coal." Dylan called softly.

When Coal Ball heard Dylan's voice, he immediately stopped teasing the basilisk, stepped on the basilisk's head with his four little paws, and then looked towards Dylan.

"Roar~" Norbeta also hurriedly came to Dylan.

——Xiao Hei is afraid of the basilisk's eyes, but it is not afraid.

Before the opponent turns it into stone, its magic resistance is enough to support it to stay out of the opponent's sight for a long time.

Dylan looked up and touched Norbeta's head, then slowly walked towards the basilisk.

The basilisk, which was originally bound by the spell and almost completely imprisoned in place, had vertical pupils that were usually full of deterrence, but now they were filled with mania and panic.

The head that tried to lift up was suddenly pressed down as if it was slapped hard in the face.

The fierce light in those eyes completely faded, replaced by deep fear and trembling.

Dylan walked up to the basilisk.

However, the latter didn't even dare to look at Dylan.

As soon as his eyes touched Dylan's chin, he would move away in panic, his body pressed tightly against the ground, as if he wanted to crawl into the crack in the ground.

"hiss……"

A low whimper came from the basilisk's throat.

At this moment, it didn't look like a terrifying magical creature that was rarely seen in the entire magical world.

Instead, it looks more like Dylan's little pet.

"The magic of the shrinking spell on you dissipated so quickly. Your magic resistance is quite high, right?"

Dylan chuckled.

However, the basilisk shuddered.

Although the human in front of it was not the masked black-robed wizard it had just seen.

However, the evil aura emanating from the other party came from the same source as the spells that bound the soul!
It was certain that the human in front of it was the extremely cruel and vicious guy who had just ravaged it at will!
Dylan tilted his head and looked at the creature that was almost ten meters long.

——Twenty feet is still too short. The overall length of the basilisk is actually much longer than this value.

I could feel Dylan's gaze, as if it were real, sweeping over my body inch by inch.

The basilisk suddenly felt a chill that crawled along its scales and spread throughout its body.

What does it feel like...

The basilisk's vertical pupils were hesitant, and it didn't dare to try to use its magic to attack the human.

As long as Dylan's gaze lingered on it for a moment, or even tried to meet its gaze, it would quickly look away as if its eyes were burned by lava.

Damn it, how could this human child be more frightening to it than the guy who had caught it and taken it to that dark place?
The other party didn't even find a thing that could cluck!

——But he is even more terrifying than that thing!
Even if he doesn't cluck!

"sizzle"

Dylan opened his mouth and let out a hissing sound.

Although he was not a Parseltongue, he had refined the souls of several snake species.

In addition, he could actually understand the language of the basilisk, so he wanted to give it a try to see if the basilisk could understand him.

"How long were you in that secret room?"

The basilisk was stunned. It didn't expect that this guy with eyes all over his body could speak its dialect?

After a slight pause, the basilisk still didn't dare to raise its head, but just stuck out its tongue.

"I do not know."

Dylan tilted his head.

The basilisk seemed to feel that it had not given the other party a perfect answer, which made the other party angry, and its body trembled again.

Dylan frowned.

"Is this basilisk so cowardly?"

Why did he remember that the basilisk described in the original book was quite ferocious and tyrannical?
Touching his chin, Dylan prepared to get the basic data of the basilisk first.

"But the spell may not be effective on this basilisk, so I'd better go ahead and do it."

Dylan stood beside the basilisk, his wand twirling gently.

"Animagus!"

The next moment, strong light enveloped him.

Dylan's body shifted and twisted, his bones crackling.

In the blink of an eye, a Norwegian Ridgeback that was a whole circle larger than Norbeta appeared in the same place.

The moment the huge wings spread out, the basilisk was frightened and its whole body trembled.

What the hell is this human being?
Sometimes it's a human, sometimes it's a monster covered in eyes, and sometimes it's a dragon? ?
The leaves around him rustled as Dylan roared.

With a flap of his wings, Dylan flew up gently.

After practicing for so long, he has become quite proficient in how to transform into a fire dragon and fly with the help of wings.

Dylan flew lightly above the basilisk.

He held the other person's head with one hand.

The basilisk twisted in fear, making sharp hisses that sounded like a threat and a plea for mercy, but it was unable to break free from Dylan's strength.

"Don't move!"

Dylan struck the basilisk directly on the forehead with his claws.

It was beaten into obedience in one go.

Flapping his wings, Dylan used his claws to straighten the basilisk's sinuous body.

"Eleven meters long, it should be longer."

After such a long experimental process, Dylan can almost give a specific number at a glance, without the need for tools or magic to assist him in measurement.

"A snake this long could probably produce a pretty large obsidian flower."

Dylan's throat rolled, and he felt like a ball of fire was about to burst out of his mouth.

But he pressed it down, and came to the basilisk's head, holding down its head with one claw, and using the other claw to pry open its bloody mouth.

The basilisk opened its eyes wide and made a faint whimpering sound, but it didn't dare to resist Dylan and could only let the other party control it.

Slytherin, I hate you...

It could feel that this human who could turn into a monster and a fire dragon was just a hybrid.

According to the orders given to it by the One who created it.

It should have swallowed it in one gulp.

But now, the offense and defense have completely reversed!

The other party is a terrifying and horrible snake monster! !
The basilisk was so nervous that its scales were rustling.

Dylan simply leaned over and examined the basilisk's teeth and the inside of its slime-filled mouth.

"How can you still have so many small bones stuck in your teeth? You can't normally only eat small rodents in the sewer, right?"

“(∧)hiss…”

Dylan performed a full physical examination on the basilisk as he usually did in his experiments.

It was not until the basilisk completely collapsed on the ground, motionless and without any reaction at all, that Dylan transformed from a Norwegian Ridgeback into a human being again.

He asked Norbeta to continue prying open the basilisk's mouth.

Wand raised.

“Aguamenti (clear water like a spring)!”

Suddenly, a strong and clear stream of water gushed out, rushing straight towards the basilisk's sharp fangs, splashing crystal water.

The water flows continuously, washing away the dirt and mucus that have accumulated between the teeth over the years, and even some small bones that are stuck are washed away.

"Next..."

(End of this chapter)
