Hogwarts: My Spell Infinite Derivation

Chapter 97 The person I want to kill, even Dumbledore can't protect! A summary of the gains!

Clang!

As the Shire spoke with resounding conviction, even the Gryffindor swords hummed softly.

Beneath the dome of Hogwarts, professors, students, portraits and ghosts in the corridors, and even Voldemort and Dumbledore himself lurking there, all were enveloped in a deathly silence.

Is someone targeting Dumbledore at Hogwarts?

Either they're crazy, or the world is crazy!

Especially for those who have read the school's history and know that the sword Shire drew from the Sorting Hat was the Gryffindor sword, it feels like a dream.

Before this, Dumbledore was the pride of Gryffindor.

When Dumbledore is mentioned, Gryffindor students all stand tall and proud, as if they are superior to others.

The greatest wizards of this century are from Gryffindor, how could they not be proud of that?

But now, the sword of Gryffindor is pointed at Dumbledore by a Hufflepuff, which is truly disillusioning.

Everyone present, especially those who had already spent some time at Hogwarts and experienced what the Shire had mentioned, suddenly felt enlightened.

"What Ciel said seems to make a lot of sense..."

"When I first came to Hogwarts, Snape targeted me and deducted points from my grades. When I witnessed Snape and Slytherin's wanton behavior, I was also puzzled. Later, I just got used to it and didn't say anything. But now, the more I think about it, the more something seems wrong."

"Where was Dumbledore when all this happened? Why didn't he do anything?"

"When I entered Hogwarts in my first year, Dumbledore said that I could tell him any opinions or suggestions I had. I naively wrote him a letter about these things, but the reply I received was not meaningful at all."

"Now that I think about it, it seems that Headmaster Dumbledore wasn't as he claimed; he saw these things but didn't want to get involved."

Such thoughts had crossed their minds from time to time before.

After all, Hogwarts has too many problems. Aside from the wonder of magic, students at this school, which prides itself on love, peace, unity, and justice, still cannot escape bullying, discrimination, and so on.

In the original story, Luna Lovegood's experiences show that her shoes, backpack, and other belongings were often hidden by her roommates.

Harry Potter once saw Luna alone, wearing only one shoe and all wet.

This has happened more than once. Has the school offered any solutions?

Even though Ravenclaw is considered a relatively mild house, bullying still occurs.

It's easy to imagine what might happen in places like Gryffindor and Slytherin, where personalities are even more pronounced.

Students in that situation will naturally have some understanding and feel resentment.

Previously, Dumbledore's aura had overshadowed so many things that they subconsciously didn't want to question him.

Now that Ciel has shattered this halo, more and more questions begin to surface in my mind.

Among the crowd, Voldemort, who was possessing Quirrell, heard the whispers among them.

He couldn't help but stare in shock.

From the moment he gathered the Death Eaters to start his rebellion, Dumbledore had been his biggest obstacle.

Voldemort had considered smearing Dumbledore from various angles more than once.

They published articles in various newspapers and magazines, and had their noble subordinates ridicule and fabricate scandals at various gatherings, attempting to tarnish Dumbledore's reputation.

But he discovered that the more he damaged Dumbledore's reputation, the more radiant Dumbledore's image became in people's minds, almost like a saint, the embodiment of perfection.

He was so angry at the time that he called those newspaper editors and his noble Death Eaters useless, and afterwards he gave up the idea of ​​smearing Dumbledore in this way.

This time, he never expected that something he couldn't do in his prime could be accomplished by a first-year wizard like Charles.

And what's more, he pointed the Gryffindor sword at Dumbledore in front of everyone at Hogwarts?!

In an instant, Voldemort seemed to have understood.

"It turns out that lies don't hurt; the truth is the sharpest knife!"

"That's strange... I clearly remember being quite skilled at this. Back in Hogwarts, I was a master at stirring up trouble and bewitching people. How come I've completely forgotten all of that?"

Why do I feel like my IQ has dropped?

While everyone was moved by the Shire's words, Dumbledore's expression darkened.

He never dreamed that he would be scolded at Hogwarts and have Gryffindor's sword pointed at him.

The Gryffindor sword—this is a scene I arranged for Harry Potter, meant for the savior. How could you, Ciel Evans, possibly pull it out?

Wouldn't that diminish the aura surrounding the savior?

As for the Ciel's rebuke and questioning, Dumbledore was not disturbed at all. On the contrary, he felt that the Ciel was too narrow-minded and ungrateful.

Everything he did was for the benefit of the magical world.

Everything was for the purpose of eliminating Voldemort and bringing true peace to the wizarding world.

Charles, that ignorant child, has no idea about these things. How dare he judge his own actions with such a narrow perspective?

Snape is a necessary piece in the great cause of defeating Voldemort, and must be protected!

Therefore, after a long silence, Dumbledore finally spoke.

"Charles Evans, there are many things you don't understand at all; you're just looking at things from a superficial perspective."

"You don't know some of the things Professor Snape did, you don't know his unknown contributions, and you don't understand how much he sacrificed for the wizarding world, or how significant his role and meaning were."

"I swear on my reputation and character that Snape may have acted inappropriately, but he was a good man, and he has long since sincerely repented for what he did in the past and made amends."

Dumbledore looked around at the professors and the students who were whispering among themselves.

"Don't you even believe what I say?"

"I've fought Voldemort for so long, do you really think I'm the kind of person who would condone Death Eaters and bring danger to Hogwarts?"

These words caused a struggle within everyone present.

It must be said that even in the face of irrefutable facts, Dumbledore's image and assurances are still very convincing.

His prestige was so high, especially at Hogwarts, that it couldn't be shaken by a single question from the Shire.

When Dumbledore vouched for him with his reputation and character, even though the Shire had laid the groundwork for a long time, a large number of Hogwarts students still had the same idea.

"Could Snape really be hiding something?"

"Could he really be a good person?"

Seeing the wavering in the crowd, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems Snape has survived today. Once he recovers, he can continue to serve as Head of Slytherin and Professor of Potions at Hogwarts, continuing to work for me.

From now on, Snape needs to be more careful in his actions...

But at that moment, Charles's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated all of this.

If Dumbledore wanted to protect Snape, nothing was more serious than school bullying and personal insults.

After all, he was someone who once took "for the greater good" as his creed. How can the influence of his teenage years disappear so easily?

Sometimes things seem to disappear, but that's just because they've hidden them even deeper!

In the face of the greater good of eliminating Voldemort, what do student mental health and the small acts of fairness and justice in schools matter? They all have to take a backseat!

However, since Ciel had already done something, he was determined to go all the way.

Snape, don't expect anyone to be saved, not even Dumbledore!

"Judging by the time, my final preparations on Snape should be almost complete, right?"

Let's rewind to before Dumbledore and the others arrived.

Ciel's mithril wand struck Snape's temple, who was sprawled on the ground like a rag doll, his mind broken and insane.

"Then, this should be the last thing."

"Capturing thoughts and ideas."

While the broken Snape could no longer use the Mirror of Reincarnation Charm, the normal version of Legilimency was still possible.

After four simulations, Shire's Legilimency had reached a transcendent level.

In the original story, Professor Slughorn forged memories, and Lockhart could also use the Oblivion Charm to make others permanently forget certain memories. With Ciel's current skill in Legilimency, it would not be difficult for him to modify Snape's memories or even implant some subconscious suggestions.

After all, Snape's Occlumency had completely collapsed during the previous series of actions, and his mind was basically at the mercy of others.

With a wave of his wand, Ciel's voice echoed through Snape's chaotic and frenzied mental world.

"It's all Ciel Evans' fault, Snape, do you understand?"

"What should you do when you see Charles Evans again?"

"Torture him, torture him with all your malice, make him scream, make him wail!"

"Torture, torture, Snape, torture!"

Now, thanks to Madam Pomfrey's emergency treatment, Snape's fainting spell caused by his mental breakdown has improved.

He also struggled to open his eyes and woke up from his coma.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was Ciel, who was surrounded by everyone in the crowd.

The moment he saw Ciel, those "torturous" sounds filled his mind.

He lost Lily, Lily died, and he suffered greatly. All of this pain was Ciel's fault!

It was all Charles Evans' fault!

Torture him, torment him with all your hatred!

Snape's manic eyes were instantly filled with hatred and ferocity.

He gripped his wand, which had fallen to the side, and aimed it at Ciel amidst Madam Pomfrey's horrified screams.

"Extremely painful!"

The Unforgivable Curse roared out, piercing right through Sharl's dragon armor and striking his body.

In an instant, Ciel floated in mid-air like a puppet, and excruciating pain surged through him like a tidal wave.

Deep Blue's notification sounded in his mind as well.

"The host has obtained high-level materials for black magic, which will greatly reduce the points required for future black magic deductions."

"The host has obtained high-grade materials for the Heart-Piercing Curse, which will significantly reduce the number of points required to deduce the Heart-Piercing Curse."

"..."

As Shire looked at the Hogwarts dome, a strange smile crept onto his lips. Out of the corner of his eye, he also saw the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic hurrying down the corridors of Hogwarts.

This was drawn by the photo of Snape's Dark Mark that proved he was guilty, and Fudge certainly didn't miss the opportunity.

And now it just so happens to coincide with the moment when Snape uses the Crucifixion Curse.

Even Dumbledore can't protect Snape now; Snape will definitely head to Azkaban.

And once they got there, the Shire promised that if Snape lived even a second longer, he intended to remake all the Dementors of Azkaban.

"It took a lot of effort to deal with a headmaster of Hogwarts, a pawn of Dumbledore."

"However, he still managed to give me a bunch of material before he died, so he really squeezed every last bit of value out of me."

"This Crucifixion really hurts like hell. Luckily, my mental strength is high enough, and my skill in the Occlusive Technique is also high enough. Apart from suffering a bit, I won't have any aftereffects."

The thought flashed through Charles's mind, and then he used his brain-blocking technique to block out the pain as much as possible, and fell into a deep sleep.

With a thud, Ciel floated into the air and his body, which twisted like a puppet, fell to the ground.

What happened in the blink of an eye caused everyone to scream in fear or horror.

Professor Sprout's eyes were bloodshot as he kept pulling out various potions from his pocket to soothe the mind and pain, pouring them into Shire's mouth, while staring intently at Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, is this the person you swore your name and integrity for?"

"Severus Snape, he used the Unforgivable Curse on a first-year wizard!"

Professor Flitwick also stared at Dumbledore.

"Headmaster Albus, Snape must be punished."

Even Professor McGonagall, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, made her choice firmly, gritting her teeth as she looked at Snape.

"This scumbag must be sent to Azkaban to repent for everything he's done!"

In the corridor, Fudge was accompanied by his staff and Aurors, followed by officials from the Ministry of Magic and reporters from the Daily Prophet.

Amidst a flurry of camera flashes, Fudge walked into the crowd, knelt down, and tenderly touched his forehead to Ciel's.

"Poor child, I never expected this, I really never expected it. I thought you would have shaken off those shadows at Hogwarts, but I never imagined something like this would happen here again..."

Then, Fudge looked up at Dumbledore with red-rimmed eyes.

"Dumbledore, you must explain clearly what happened later: Snape has the Dark Mark on him, and he publicly cast the Unforgivable Curse to torture a student!"

"Now, we're taking Snape to Azkaban. He must stay there until Wizengamori formally puts him on trial!"

Before Dumbledore could nod, Fudge waved his hand, and the Aurors, carrying the deranged Snape, hurriedly left Hogwarts.

Throughout the entire process, Dumbledore remained silent, and he had nothing to say.

Snape's use of the Crucifixion Curse truly put Dumbledore at a complete disadvantage, leaving him no room for public rebuttal.

As for Fudge and the Ministry of Magic officials, he could no longer use his prestige and reputation to say anything.

These unscrupulous politicians won't buy into this; they'll just be like flies that smell blood, trying every possible way to suck as much blood as possible.

In this match, at Hogwarts' home ground, Dumbledore suffered a crushing defeat!

As Fudge turned to leave, even though he was trying his best to suppress it, a slight smile still crept onto his lips.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

"Awesome, incredibly awesome!"

"Cial Evans, you're truly my lucky star! You did a fantastic job, delivering such a huge bombshell as Dumbledore into my hands!"

Fudge felt that every Galleon he reimbursed for Ciel was incredibly worthwhile.

Charles took the money, and he really did the job!

"Give him more money! We have to increase his reimbursement limit again!"

At the same time, Dumbledore turned and walked toward the headmaster's office, his eyes flashing coldly.

"Fudge, a foolish politician who will stop at nothing to gain power and profit."

"Charles Evans, a little wizard who acts recklessly because he has a bit of talent, has no idea what the big picture is."

Even if Snape used the Unforgivable Curse, he had to be saved for the sake of destroying Voldemort.

"In the Wisconsin court, I am the true representative. I have considerable influence there, and no one can stop me from doing what I want or implementing my plans!"

Charles was sent to a private room in the school infirmary to recuperate.

After checking on Charles's condition, Mrs. Pomfrey breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Perhaps due to Snape's condition, the Cruciatus Curse that Ciel suffered did not seem to be too powerful, so it shouldn't cause any aftereffects."

"But this child needs to rest."

Then, she cast a healing spell on Charles, dismissed everyone, and quietly closed the door to the medical room herself.

After everyone had left, Charles slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes seemed to reflect the howling winds and dark clouds over the sea of ​​Azkaban.

"Perhaps Dumbledore is still trying to use his influence in Wizengamor to protect Snape."

"However, it's all over now."

"Hogwarts, Wizengamot, the Sir Merlin Order—perhaps these are all Dumbledore's home grounds."

"But Azkaban, that belongs to me!"

……

The wind howled, dark clouds loomed, and the entire island was shrouded in black, filled with a depressing atmosphere.

The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic escorted Snape aboard a small boat to the shore of Azkaban.

Dementors were already waiting there, and they took Snape from the Aurors when the ship docked.

The Aurors breathed a sigh of relief, gave a few more instructions, and then hurriedly left this prison, which was feared throughout the magical world.

The Dementors watched silently as the Aurors departed.

As the Aurors' small boat turned into black dots and disappeared from sight along the coastline, several Dementors pulled down their headscarves.

Snape stared blankly at the scene.

Although he suffered a mental breakdown and became somewhat deranged, his years of practice in Occlumency still gave him the foundation to retain his basic judgment.

Since I've been imprisoned in Azkaban, shouldn't I be taken to a cell?

Why did the Dementor suddenly pull down its headscarf?

An extremely dangerous feeling rose in his heart, but without his wand, he was unable to summon his guardian spirit.

Several Dementors surrounded Snape.

The last thing Snape heard was—

"Lord Ciel Evans, ruler of the Dementors, king of Azkaban, has asked us to bid you farewell."

The next moment, several Dementors devoured Snape's soul, leaving only a lifeless shell.

Then they tied huge rocks to Snape and hurled him into the dark, bottomless sea off the coast of Azkaban.

……

Rustle, rustle.

Dumbledore gripped his quill and wrote letter after letter.

As Wisconsin's chief representative, he also wields considerable influence and connections within the Wisconsin court system.

Snape's crime of using the Unforgivable Curse in public would have meant a death sentence in Azkaban for an ordinary wizard, but Dumbledore's network naturally included many magical lawyers who could defend Snape.

The behavioral abnormalities resulting from a mental breakdown are a point of defense.

Just like the excuse of being "controlled by the Imperius Curse" used by those Death Eaters who escaped punishment in the past, such a fabricated excuse could succeed, let alone the fact that Snape was indeed mentally broken.

Furthermore, Dumbledore could also influence the judges in court.

In this way, Snape wouldn't have to stay in Azkaban until he died; he could come out to recuperate and continue to serve Dumbledore.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Dumbledore felt reassured and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately drafted a notification to the Ministry of Magic.

"The Wissengamo court will hold a closed trial for Severus Snape tomorrow and has requested that Severus Snape be taken into custody for trial."

Shortly after the notice was sent out, the Ministry of Magic sent a reply.

"It is with great regret that I inform you that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Chief Representative of the Wizengamor Court..."

"According to the feedback from the Dementors of Azkaban, Severus Snape attempted to escape from Azkaban and violently resisted the law, posing a serious threat to the Dementors' lives. In the ensuing fierce battle, the Dementors drained his soul."

"As for his body, it was swept to the bottom of the sea by the waves due to the high winds and waves that day. As you know, the waters near Azkaban are deep, dark, and bottomless. Even the Dementors dared not go down to retrieve it, so now I'm afraid no one can find it."

"Do you think tomorrow's trial of Severus Snape will be handled according to the rules regarding the inability of the defendant to appear in court...?"

Dumbledore's expression remained icy cold until he finished reading the letter.

The next moment, even this usually gentle and kind old man couldn't help but take out his magic wand.

Golden flames erupted from the wand, burning the Ministry of Magic's letter to ashes.

In Dumbledore's view, this was definitely Fudge's doing.

Dumbledore, who had never respected Fudge, was now truly enraged.

"Connelly Fudge, you pathetic wretch..."

"You've really angered me this time."

……

Meanwhile, in the infirmary, a smile crept onto Charles's lips.

"The person I want to kill, no one can save him."

"Including you, Dumbledore."

However, Ciel had not anticipated that things would escalate to this point and become such a big deal.

But he never regretted it.

In any case, Snape's threat has been completely eliminated, and he has obtained everything he needed from Snape.

The only remaining problem is that it will attract Dumbledore's attention.

However, as long as Dumbledore remains the headmaster of Hogwarts, he cannot pose a real threat to the Ciel, who is not afraid at all.

If all else fails, just Apparate and run away.

Besides, a letter from the Ministry of Magic has been delivered to Hogwarts and placed on the Shire's bedside table.

Inside was a message from the Ministry of Magic expressing their condolences to Ciel, telling him to eat and drink without worrying about reimbursement, and to focus on restoring his physical and mental well-being.

Fudge even generously offered that the Shire could now directly use the Ministry of Magic's channels for any purchasing needs.

Some unusual and unusual items can be procured through the Ministry of Magic's channels.

Some items have numerous restrictions on individual purchases.

If the Ministry of Magic were to buy it, it would be much easier and simpler.

For example, a new batch of dragon materials, urged by the Ministry of Magic, will soon be delivered from Romania to the Shire.

Charles's smile widened.

In this way, he can make up for some of the deduction points he has spent, and his growth rate will be faster.

Once his plans are implemented one by one, and he has developed for another year or two, what will become of Dumbledore, who is now wielding the Elder Wand and at Hogwarts?

If you dare to mess with Ciel again, I'll break your Elder Wand!

That's the confidence of a cheater!

Then, a burning light appeared in Charles's eyes.

"I haven't had time before, so now..."

"It's time to take stock of what we've gained."

"Deep Blue!"
