Hogwarts: My Spell Infinite Derivation

Chapter 84 Target: Cerberus! Cerberus, the three-headed hound of hell!

After explaining to the Hufflepuffs how to get into the common room, Cedric led them inside.

Hufflepuff's common room, unlike Ravenclaw's cool blue-themed space, resembles a small library, and it lacks the luxury of Slytherin.

Similar to the Gryffindor common room, it features warm colors, but compared to the flamboyant gold and red tones, the Hufflepuff common room feels warmer and more comfortable.

It's the feeling of staying snuggled in bed during winter, never wanting to get out.

Most outrageously, there's a door next to the fireplace in the common room that leads directly to Hufflepuff's kitchen.

Cedric's face lit up when he talked about this.

"The house-elves at Hogwarts are already masters of cooking."

"But since ancient times, only the house-elves with the best cooking skills have been allowed to enter Hufflepuff's kitchen."

"Whenever important guests come to Hogwarts, the most sumptuous and delicious feast is prepared by the elves in Hufflepuff's kitchen. This is something you can't get to eat outside. Other houses don't get to eat this more than a few times a year."

"But in Hufflepuff, it's available all day! Whenever you're hungry, a hot and delicious meal will be waiting for you in the kitchen!"

"If you could get your hands on some special ingredients, your house-elves could even prepare a custom meal just for you—that would taste absolutely divine!"

As Cedric described it, the young wizards' faces lit up with longing.

Just thinking about being able to enjoy a delicious late-night snack in this comfortable lounge, even if it's just to help them catch up on their final assignments, seems pretty wonderful.

Seeing the expressions on the young wizards' faces, Cedric also showed a satisfied expression.

Putting everything else aside, the Hufflepuff students' sense of belonging and unity is absolutely the strongest among the four houses, even surpassing Gryffindor.

How were they trained?

That's what everyone made by eating late-night snacks together every night!

While Gryffindors were busy with their nighttime strolls, Ravenclaws were busy reading, and Slytherins were preoccupied with something else, the Hufflepuff wizards were busy eating.

How could this sense of belonging not be strong?

Then, Cedric continued.

"Alright, you can explore the common room later. Let's go to your respective dorm rooms now."

……

At the door of a four-person dormitory, Xia Er stood in front of the door, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

He hasn't lived in a dormitory for many years.

However, a moment later, Ciel's nostalgia vanished, and he drew his wand.

He doesn't miss the dormitory, but rather the carefree days of his studies.

As for dormitories, unless you have a very good relationship with your roommates, who would miss them?

I miss that cramped bunk bed, I miss being restricted in this way and that, with no privacy at all.

Forget about that!

What normal adult would say they enjoy living in a dormitory, especially with three other kids? It's pure torture!

Immediately, Charles pushed open the door and went inside.

The three roommates all looked towards the door, ready to welcome Ciel, but the next moment, a magical light flashed.

Charles cast a Confusion Spell in his dorm room.

The effect of the confusion spell was to make the roommates ignore Ciel's existence, and even make them think that Ciel was not their roommate, but just an ordinary classmate, and that there were only three people in their dormitory from beginning to end.

With the mental strength of Char after his transformation, coupled with the magical power that surpasses most adult wizards after being nurtured in his ancient dragon form, even without deliberately deduce the Confusion Charm, the most basic version is enough to work perfectly on several young wizards.

For a moment, the three roommates were stunned.

"What was I just about to do?"

"Oh right, I still need to pack my luggage."

Even as Charles walked right in front of them, the three of them seemed not to see him at all, completely ignoring his actions.

Then, Charles took out a tent that had been enchanted with a Seamless Stretch Charm and cast various protective spells on it.

In this way, even if there are occasional room checks, the student council members who come in will not notice that there is a tent here.

When Charles lifted the tent flap and went inside, he found himself in a super luxurious suite, exquisitely decorated, fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, and an enormous, super soft bed.

A look of satisfaction appeared in Charles's eyes.

"As expected of the gift that Old Tom from the Leaky Cauldron gave me as a super VIP, it's really quite nice."

"This area is equivalent to a large single-level apartment in my previous life. It's about the size of a five-star presidential suite."

"Although I'll be very busy at Hogwarts and may not be able to sleep here often, it's still nice to come here for a rest once in a while. It's better than sharing a dormitory with three kids."

Of course, not all Hogwarts dormitories are four-person rooms; there are also single rooms.

For example, the prefects of each college all live in luxurious single rooms.

According to the original text, the luxury of the single dormitory was comparable to that of a five-star hotel, but it could only be obtained by a prefect.

As for the position of prefect, Ciel had no interest in it whatsoever.

Those are just student council officers, they're always meddlesome, managing this and that, let whoever wants to do it do it.

Nothing smells as good as the luxury tent that Shire got for free.

Then, Charles lay in bed, pondering how to spend the rest of his time.

"How can I possibly sleep on my first night at Hogwarts?"

"Besides, I didn't eat enough for dinner. The deduction points from that ordinary food were less than half a pound of dragon dung."

"I have to eat my fill and maybe earn a few coins along the way."

A series of options appeared in Charles's mind, which he then eliminated one by one.

"Basilisk? I haven't learned the Parseltongue yet, so I can't enter the secret room for now."

"Furthermore, the basilisk has an instant-death effect, so the Dragon Armor spell might not work. There's still a risk of failure. Let's wait until we get an eye-related spell to make sure we're absolutely safe before we go."

"As for the Forbidden Forest and Black Lake, those are a bit far, so let's not bother with them on the first day."

"The same goes for Ravenclaw's tiara; it'll take a while to find it at the Room of Requirement, no rush."

After some thought, a name came to mind.

"Cerberus, I choose you!"

This extremely rare magical creature is found only in Greece, and is even rarer than a fire dragon.

It is most famous for its seemingly inexhaustible strength, violent aggression, and superb recovery ability.

The most famous three-headed dog in mythology is Cerberus, the three-headed dog of Cerberus in Greek mythology.

As the guardian of the underworld, Cerberus is virtually unkillable and possesses exceptional resistance to instant-death magic.

The three-headed dog of Greece may still have some of its bloodline remaining, making it an extremely rare creature that is resistant to the Killing Curse.

It's no wonder that in the original story, Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort, and it would be quite a hassle for him to get the Philosopher's Stone through Cerberus.

This thing is indeed difficult to deal with. Even if Voldemort logs in and fights on his behalf, his remnant soul state would probably consume a lot of his power.

Besides wanting to get some deduction points from the three-headed dog, Shire had another motive when he chose it as his target.

That is, perhaps through the blood of Cerberus, one can obtain a second magic, Animagus Transformation, and transform into a being close to the legendary Cerberus!
