Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 80: Kind Dylan tricked Hagrid into a cripple. Don’t ask, it’s just an ancient curse.

"Don't worry, but...Hagrid should have kept the dragon in his hut. How would Malfoy know that? He doesn't usually go to Hagrid's hut."

"Uh……"

Harry scratched his head.

How should he answer this?

Could it be that when he and Ron were talking about Norbert, they were a little too loud... so they were accidentally overheard by Malfoy who was passing by?

Harry was a little speechless, but very anxious.

He looked at Dylan, who looked calm: "Aren't you panicking?"

Dylan blinked, a little puzzled. "What's there to be nervous about?"

Harry was stunned: "Malfoy saw Hagrid feeding a dragon!"

Dylan nodded. "I know."

Harry: (.)
He took a deep breath and asked, "Dylan, you've studied spells so deeply, do you know the Obliviate spell?"

"The Oblivion Charm? I've done some research on it."

Hearing Dylan's words, Harry suddenly opened his eyes wide with excitement: "Then go find Malfoy and cast a forgetfulness spell on him!"

"I heard from Hermione that in order to prevent Muggles from knowing the existence of magic, the Ministry of Magic often uses the Oblivion Charm on them. Even if Muggles see a dragon, they will forget everything!"

"I can't do this." Dylan shook his head and rejected Harry's suggestion without thinking.

"If I use the Memory Charm on Malfoy, the professors at Hogwarts will most likely find out about it, and then I might be expelled from school for hurting my classmates."

"Even the pure-blood wizard behind Malfoy might take me to Azkaban."

Harry was stunned when he heard it: "Is it that serious?"

Dylan shrugged. "Oblivion has side effects. Don't you think the professors won't notice?"

"What should we do..." Harry looked frustrated. "If we don't help Hagrid, he will definitely be taken to Azkaban!"

Dylan reached out and closed the book in front of him.

"I told you, Harry, don't panic. There's actually a solution."

"What?" Harry looked up in surprise. "Dylan, what do you have in mind?"

Dylan looked around and didn't speak immediately, but lowered his voice.

"Don't talk yet, come with me."

Dylan put the books on the table and walked towards Hagrid's hut with Harry.

Harry was very curious about what Dylan's idea was, but he held it back and didn't ask along the way.

Until the two of them arrived at Hagrid's hut.

Dylan knocked on the door and Hagrid answered it, then he opened it.

When I walked in, Ron and Hermione were there.

"Dylan said he has a way to save Hagrid!" Harry couldn't wait to say to the others as soon as he entered the room.

"What? What method? Is Dylan going to use the Oblivion Charm on Malfoy?" Ron said.

"That's very risky. If the professors find out, Dylan will be in danger!" Hermione glared.

In Hagrid's arms was a little black dragon.

The moment the young dragon saw Dylan, it made a "click" and "click" sound.

The little head kept twisting left and right, and the two little hands were flapping.

"It looks like it likes you, Dylan." Hagrid was a little surprised. "I've never seen it so excited before."

"Maybe I just like to attract the attention of these magical creatures." Dylan raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, glanced at them, and pondered for a moment.

In fact, he now has two ways to help Hagrid solve the problem of this dragon.

The first was that they should write a letter immediately and ask Ron's brother Charlie to come and take the Norwegian Ridgeback away and send it to the dragon living area in Romania.

He then took advantage of the handover to brainwash these people with the Imperius Curse, making them believe that the dragon had left, but in fact he could take the dragon away himself.

The second is that Dylan directly told Hagrid that he had a way to hide Norbert secretly and he would never be discovered in Hogwarts.

This method would allow him to change from being the only one who knew about the dragon's existence to him and Hagrid knowing about it together.

And, as Norbert grew older, Hagrid would be able to take on the task of feeding the dragon for him.

What's more, if Hagrid wants to see Norbert, he must release it in the Forbidden Forest.

Dylan can use this as an excuse to not have to sneak into the Forbidden Forest every night. Instead, with Hagrid's help, he can enter the Forbidden Forest during the day.

Even if Hagrid wouldn't allow him to slaughter magical creatures indiscriminately, he could quickly figure out the distribution of the Forbidden Forest during the day.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

One is that he is the only one who knows the existence of the dragon, but all the risks must be borne by him.

One is that he and Hagrid share the risk and can also gain some convenience from it.

But the disadvantage is that the more people know about the existence of the dragon, the more potential danger there is.

And the most important thing is that the person who knew about the existence of the dragon was Hagrid, the big mouth who couldn't control his mouth.
If Hagrid leaked the news, even though he had a pet space, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen.

He glanced at Hagrid, whose eyes were burning.

Dylan thought about it and decided to be safe and choose the second option.

Because although the first method is safe, the fewer people who know about the existence of the dragon, the less risk there is, but it also has big problems.

That is, if he wanted to snatch the dragon cubs from Brother Ron, he had to use the Imperius Curse on them to create the illusion that the dragon was taken away by a mysterious person.

Then if he later took out a giant dragon, or was discovered while raising a giant dragon, he would most likely become the target of public criticism in an instant.

This is more troublesome than Hagrid, the big mouth, accidentally leaking the news about the dragon.

"It's better to let Hagrid know. At least if there's any problem, we can just drag Hagrid into the water."

Dylan felt that he had racked his brains and put in a lot of effort to fulfill Hagrid's wish to raise a dragon.

——He is so kind.

"It was this Malfoy who made me wait for so many days, forcing Hagrid to get rid of the dragon."

Dylan raised his head, looked at Hagrid, and said, "I saw a spell when I was flipping through an ancient magic book."

"It allows me to make a contract with Noble. After completing the contract, I can put it into a special space - I call it the pet space."

"That means I don't need to keep magical creatures in magical pet boxes - and those are expensive, so we can't afford them."

"As long as Norbert is placed in a pet space and there's no need to contain him with anything else, we don't have to worry about him being taken away by anyone."

"And no matter which professor wants to check whether we really have a dragon, he will never be able to find it because it is in my space." "What?" Ron was the first to stare with wide eyes. "There is such a magical magic?"

Harry was also a little surprised. It turned out that Dylan was so calm because he had been prepared for it?
Hermione frowned. "Where did you see this book? What's the name of the magic? Is it ancient magic?"

"Just now." Dylan hesitated for two seconds, then blinked, "Sorry, I forgot."

Hermione:?
Could you tell this lie any more sloppily?

Dylan smiled lightly and said nothing more.

The reason why she didn't mention this matter to Hagrid in private without Harry and the others' knowledge was because the second method would require Hagrid to bite the dragon to death.

——Even if there was, it had been taken away by Ron's brother.

So this matter cannot be hidden from Harry and the others. Instead of hiding it and letting Hagrid, the big mouth, tell Harry later, it is better to make it clear in advance.

Hagrid held Norbert in his hand, stunned by Dylan's words.

"There's such a spell?"

He looked at Norbert in his hand, then at Dylan: "I wonder if I can learn this spell?"

Dylan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and pulled a smile into his mouth: "No."

"This is the magic I studied, and only I can master it."

Seeing Hagrid's stiff expression, he felt that his statement might indeed be a bit stiff, and Dylan added.

"Also, this spell is actually related to divination. I created it by accident while researching Transfiguration, Summoning, and Divination spells. I can't give it to you."

Hermione still looked skeptical.

But Dylan didn't care what they thought.

Dylan believed that Harry and the others would not take the initiative to tell others about the dragon.

It's not just because of their personalities.

Also, if anyone else knew about it, Hagrid would be sent directly to Azkaban.

As Harry's guide, Harry, or the Gryffindor lions, would never betray their companions.

Therefore, even at the end, as Hermione and the others' research on magic became more and more advanced, looking back, they felt that he might have been lying.

But Dylan also believed that by that time, he would definitely have held an important position in the field of magic!

Moreover, even now, Dylan would not be afraid of anyone just based on the three maximum-level unforgivable curses and the ability to cast ten spells in a row.

"This is the only way I can think of. Otherwise, as I said before, I should write to Ron's brother and ask him to come over. I'll take you, the little creature I worked so hard to hatch, and watch you transform from an egg into a living being, to a dangerous place like Romania to fend for yourself."

"Oh my God, I really can't imagine how Norbert would be bullied by other wild dragons if he went there. I think he might not even survive to grow up and become food for other dragons."

Dylan sighed deeply. "By the way, where's Norbert's eggshell? Is it still there?"

"Uh?"

Hagrid was still a little dazed by Dylan's description of the horrific future. He was suddenly stunned by the question and shook his head instinctively. "No, it's gone. Norbert ate all the eggshells as soon as he came out."

"Well, that's a shame." Dylan sighed again and asked, "What do you think? Should Ron write a letter to his brother?"

Hagrid quickly shook his head like a rattle: "No, I don't want to send Norbert away!"

"That's right!" Dylan nodded approvingly. "Think about it, even though Norbert and I signed the contract, you were the one who hatched it yourself. How could it not be close to you?"

"When the time comes, I'll usually put it in the pet space, and it won't feel any discomfort, and it will thrive in it."

"If you want to see it, I can take it to the Forbidden Forest and release it. You can even feed it yourself! Then, you will be responsible for preparing all its food. How is this different from raising a dragon?"

"Don't you want to try feeding a dragon and experience the feeling of raising a dragon with your own hands?"

Hagrid's eyes lit up frighteningly: "I think so!"

"So, in order to fulfill your wish, Hagrid, I can experiment with this spell, even though I have no idea whether it might have any consequences."

Dylan looked selfless.

"It doesn't matter. Even if something goes wrong in the end, I'm willing to take responsibility! As long as I can fulfill your wish of raising a dragon, Hagrid! I completely understand your love for magical creatures!"

"Dylan!" Hagrid was so moved that he almost cried.

Hermione and Harry on the side were completely stunned.

"Why do I feel that Dylan himself wants to raise this dragon?" Hermione looked at Harry and signaled with her eyes.

"I feel the same!" Harry nodded in response.

Only Ron's face was still flushed with excitement. "Merlin's nose! Dylan, you are so righteous! I declare that you are absolutely a Gryffindor!"

Dylan: “.”

Ignoring Ron's nonsense, Dylan looked at Hagrid: "So what do you say?"

"I believe Dylan that you can successfully cast that spell! All the professors will praise you - except Professor Binns. He usually doesn't greet me or talk to me, but I guess he also thinks you are an excellent little wizard!"

Dylan nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Hermione frowned and asked, "But will that spell really be safe? Dylan, can you guarantee that there will be no problems with that space?"

What she actually wanted to ask was, is there really such a curse?

But if Dylan didn't want to say it, she naturally couldn't ask.

Hagrid also looked at him worriedly at this time.

"Don't worry, I guarantee it with my integrity - if there's any problem, let me use black magic to twist my mind!"

"Hey! Don't say that. I believe you." Hermione glared.

Ron suddenly asked, "But Dylan, didn't you say before that Hagrid's salary wasn't enough to feed a full-grown dragon? And as Norbert gets bigger, how are you going to provide him with food?"

Dylan glanced at Ron and said, "Don't worry, it's just some food. When Hagrid can't afford it anymore, I'll buy it for him."

Harry said, "My parents also left me a lot of money. If you need it, I can buy food for Norbert."

Dylan smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you on Hagrid's behalf."

Harry paused and blinked. "You're welcome."

Hermione pursed her lips. "What kind of spell is that, Dylan? Are you going to start casting it now?"

Dylan walked up to Hagrid.

At this moment, the little black dragon in his hand saw Dylan approaching, and immediately struggled hard, trying to break away from Hagrid's rough, broad, and calloused hands. It leaned forward, wishing it could fly to Dylan immediately, and the small thorns on its neck trembled slightly.

Dylan's eyes flashed, a trace of imperceptible enthusiasm that disappeared in an instant.

"Let me give it a try. Although it may not succeed, we have a way out. And if the spell doesn't work, I won't have any problems."
