Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 54 Look at the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor You Found
Principal's office.

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, quietly pouring over.

Dumbledore, who was playing with the bird, slowly turned around with a kind smile on his face and said gently, "Filius, Minerva, please sit down first. There's no need to be so anxious."

Professor McGonagall stood straight, and Flitwick, who was standing next to her, was short but had a serious look on his face.

"This matter must not be ignored!" Professor McGonagall said firmly.

Dumbledore sat down.

"I understand your concerns. Dylan is a gifted child. In your eyes, he is like an uncut gem with unlimited potential. However, precisely because of his strength, he is more likely to linger on the edge of darkness."

Professor McGonagall glanced at Flitwick and said, "Exactly. I didn't know he wanted to teach himself Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

"You should know that if you're not careful while learning Defense Against the Dark Arts on your own, you'll be lost!"

Professor Flitwick looked embarrassed.

After Dylan left, he wanted to go to Dumbledore for advice, but unexpectedly he met Professor McGonagall who was also looking for Dumbledore on the way.

Of course, he couldn't hide from the other party that Dylan wanted to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The result is what we have now.

Dumbledore smiled gently at the two of them and said, "You should also know that young people are always curious about the unknown."

"I heard that he killed a giant monster with a blazing fire?"

Professor McGonagall nodded, her face tense.

"This clearly shows that this child possesses strong learning and judgment abilities. I think it was because he read the explanation of the Grimfire Curse in the book, combined with the fact that he already knew the Fiery Curse, that he decided to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Seeing that neither of them sat down, Dumbledore paused, held onto the table, and stood up.

“Our responsibility as professors is not just to stop, but to guide.”

He came to the window and looked at the snowy night.

"Since he wants to learn, if we don't teach him, won't he come up with the idea of ​​learning on his own?"

"Didn't you say that he came to you because he couldn't figure it out on his own, Filius?"

Professor Flitwick nodded slightly. "That's exactly what he told me."

Dumbledore turned around and smiled. "So, we just need to give him a safe framework and provide him with the right direction. I believe he will not fall."

"After all, he's a Gryffindor."

Professor Flitwick nodded again. "Indeed, this little fellow is very clever and intelligent. Besides, I don't think there's anything unusual about him wanting to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Professor McGonagall glanced at him, moved her lips, and finally said, "Yes, learning the counter-spell of the Fiery Blaze is certainly not that unusual. But if I say that he mentioned a new spell to me today..."

"What about the Entropic Distortion Charm?"

"Ok?"

Professor Flitwick and Dumbledore both looked over at her.

Professor McGonagall sighed.

"In all my years of teaching, I've never witnessed such courage in a young wizard! His audacity far exceeds my wildest imagination!"

Professor Flitwick frowned. "What do you mean? This new spell... doesn't sound very friendly."

The corners of Professor McGonagall's eyes twitched.

"His research on the Transfiguration Charm seems to have been stuck. When we were discussing the Transfiguration Charm today, he suddenly mentioned this spell to me." Professor McGonagall sighed.

"You'll understand the name as soon as you hear it. Dylan said that although the Transfiguration Spell can be used in combat, instead of distracting yourself by trying to imagine the target of the transformation, it's better to..."

"Why not just deform the opponent directly?" Professor Flitwick added.

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly.

"Oh my God!" Flitwick exclaimed.

"For those who don't have a deep understanding of the Transfiguration Spell, it's indeed difficult to use it in actual combat. Dylan meant that he wanted to create a spell that could directly deform the opponent's body, or even split it into several parts."

"Also, to prevent the opponent from being split into something too exaggerated, with combat power even stronger than the original human wizard."

"Dylan also said... this spell is best used to split the opponent in two, or to deform only a part of the opponent's limbs..."

"In this way, we can greatly affect the opponent's strength during the battle."

As Professor McGonagall finished speaking.

For a moment, the principal's office fell into an eerie silence.

After a long moment, Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall with a complicated expression, carefully choosing his words.

"Well... after all, he is only a first-year wizard. He wants to apply the Transfiguration Spell in actual combat. This is a thought that many young wizards would have."

"It's just that the spell he wants to research... is indeed a bit horrifying. And although the theory is good - I mean, it's purely for practical use."

"But if you really want to put this theory into practice, it's easy to go astray."

Dumbledore returned to his seat.

"Perhaps you could guide him a little more and make him understand that creating a spell isn't that easy."

"Besides that, you can also talk to him more about spell shaping and secondary control, which can be used in actual combat to a great extent."

Professor McGonagall was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The shaping and secondary control of spells can make the original spells have a variety of effects, and the power may be even greater.

For example, the Fire God's Way is an upgraded version of the Fire Curse.

She had never discussed this with Dylan before because it required a wizard to master a spell almost completely.

but now……

She decided to talk more with Dylan, even if the content involved might be beyond Dylan's understanding, but this might make Dylan more interested in the right direction and study less of those unconventional things.

"Also, Filius, even though the Defense Against the Dark Arts class doesn't teach students the counter-spell to the Fiery Blaze, Dylan is no ordinary wizard after all. This also involves an understanding of spells. If you think he can master it, you can definitely teach him. It's nothing."

Dumbledore comforted the two of them. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick looked at each other, then finally said goodbye and turned to leave.

Wait for a while until the others leave.

Dumbledore suddenly looked towards the door again.

"Severus, did Dylan come to see you too?"

Professor Snape suddenly emerged from the darkness with a grim expression.

"Look at the situation now. This is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor you carefully selected. What has he done to such a promising young wizard?"

Dumbledore: "..."
