Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 223 Cedric: Are you a god? How can you learn so fast?

"Obestomy?!"

Cedric took the booklet that Dylan casually handed him, opened it, and his eyes widened.

"How could you... I mean, you already know this spell?"

Dylan nodded: "Actually, it's not complicated to learn. This booklet was given to me by the professor. It contains very detailed learning methods, and I've also written a lot of my own insights. You can study it when you have time."

Cedric felt his throat was a little dry.

This curse...

How could Dylan, a third-grade wizard, already know this?
This couldn't help but shock him.

and!

What surprised him even more was...

Dylan is in third grade now; it's impossible that he only just learned Occlumency this year.

It can only be in the first half of the year, that is, the last semester, or even the semester before that...

Did the professors already believe that Dylan had the ability to learn Occlumency?

This is really a bit too exaggerated.

You know, he's almost graduating now.

But the professors never said they would teach him anything about Occlumency.

In fact.

It's not that they have a very close relationship with the professor, or that they have exceptionally outstanding talent.

It is very difficult to learn some of the most advanced spells.

Furthermore, in a normal Hogwarts curriculum, there are no overly complex spells.

Wizards wanted to learn these spells, firstly through family instruction.

Just like Malfoy.

He learned Occlumency with the help of his aunt, Bellatrix Lestrange.

Secondly, one might find the spells and learning methods for these advanced spells through private libraries and the restricted areas of Hogwarts.

Thirdly, wizards usually join some magic clubs after graduating and reaching adulthood.

If you want to learn advanced spells that are not taught in the academy, you can also do so through these clubs, or by exchanging them at the magic market or black market.

However, Dylan casually pulled out a notebook for him, which contained detailed instructions on how to practice Occlumency.

Cedric's Adam's apple bobbed.

"Can...can I learn it?"

Dylan: (.)
Why can't you learn?

"Well, nothing."

Cedric coughed lightly.

Dylan said, "You know, Occlumency can counteract Legilimency, and Voldemort had an extremely high degree of control over Legilimency."

"If you encounter him someday, even if he is not fully resurrected at that time, he can still freely explore your thoughts if you have no means of defense."

Cedric nodded deeply, his expression showing some emotion: "Thank you. I didn't expect you to be willing to tell me all this."

He knew about the mysterious man, which is why Dylan knew.

Besides, it's because he himself possesses extremely powerful divination skills.

Besides that, almost everything that has happened in the last two years is related to Harry.

And Dylan, as Harry's roommate, must have known something as well.

Cedric firmly believes this.

Headmaster Dumbledore must have told them as well.

No one is allowed to disclose this information.

But now Dylan is still risking punishment from Headmaster Dumbledore by telling him about this...

Although the content is not complete.

Dylan didn't go into detail about Voldemort, only telling him that Voldemort wasn't completely dead and might return.

He was still very moved.

With this information, he had more time to make thorough preparations.

"What's the big deal? When Voldemort really comes back, everyone will know. I'm just telling you about it in advance."

Dylan waved his hand: "Besides protecting yourself from others' attempts to see into your brain, Occupy Central can also help you sort out your complicated thoughts."

Dylan glanced at Cedric.

“I think this should be just right for your current situation.”

"Yes, I will study hard."

Cedric nodded, but his expression showed some hesitation: "But what if..."

"I mean, what if I fail to learn it, or even if I do learn the spell but can't withstand the attack—I mean the mysterious man? What then?"

Dylan rolled his eyes: "What else can we do? Just let it be."

Cedric: ('-'*)
"Alright, alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore. Go learn it. This spell is very simple. I learned it in just a few days."

Dylan waved his hand: "Besides, your talent is quite strong. I believe you'll be able to achieve this in less than ten days—"

"You can learn it?" Cedric's eyes lit up.

“No,” Dylan shook his head, “that will give us some clues.”

"..."

Dylan raised his hand and patted Cedric on the shoulder.

"Let's go back, I'm going to eat too."

Dylan had eaten at the restaurant.

I intended to go straight back to my dorm to read.

However, when he passed by the school clinic, he still stopped by to take a look.

At least one roommate from the same dorm room.

We should still show some concern.

Before he even reached the entrance of the school clinic, he heard a voice drifting over.

"Enough! Stop disturbing Mr. Potter here. Get out of here; he needs to rest—to rest quietly!"

Then Dylan saw Madam Pomfrey kick Ron and Hermione out of the infirmary.

Dylan blinked.

He stepped forward.

Mrs. Pomfrey also looked over.

Upon seeing that it was Dylan, his expression softened slightly, but he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

“Child, do you want to come in and visit Harry too? I'd love to say yes, but you're too late…”

Dylan didn't wait for Mrs. Pomfrey to finish speaking.

He then took out a few pieces of fruit from his bag.

It was in a bag.

Dylan handed the bag to Mrs. Pomfrey.

"These are some very fresh fruits and vegetables. Please give them to Harry. I won't go in. I think he needs some time alone to heal his wounds."

Mrs. Pomfrey's expression softened slightly upon hearing Dylan's words.

"Yes, it's always very distressing to face those ugly things. At times like these, too many people chattering around will only make the patient's headache worse."

As she spoke, Madam Pomfrey glanced at Ron and Hermione beside her, her gaze suggestive.

The two men lowered their heads and didn't dare to utter a sound.

“I’ll accept the things for Mr. Potter. You should head back now. I think Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger probably haven’t eaten yet.”

Seeing that the two remained silent, Mrs. Pomfrey said bluntly, "Alright, go eat and don't stay here any longer and disturb the patient's recovery."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Pomfrey turned around and then closed the door to the school infirmary.

The movements were swift, yet gentle.

The door closed without making a sound.

Ron: (∧)~
Ron looked miserable as he watched the door to the school clinic close in front of him.

But he was helpless, so he could only shake his head and sigh, turning to look at Dylan. "Harry is so upset right now, he must really need me by his side to talk to him, or even just to comfort him."

Hermione and Ron were arguing and bickering a while ago, but now it seems like they've made up.

She nodded, agreeing with Ron: "Yes, Harry definitely needs me by his side!"

Ron turned his head disapprovingly: "It's me! Harry needs me!"

Hermione glanced at him: "You're too noisy, not at all like me who speaks softly. Harry doesn't need you."

Ron glared at him: "Your voice is so shrill and sharp, Harry's brow furrows when he hears you speak!"

Hermione rolled her eyes: "He was frowning when he was listening to you."

It seemed Ron was about to continue arguing with Hermione.

Dylan interjected, "Alright, I guess it's because you guys were arguing like this in front of Harry that you bothered him."

Dylan's words made the two pause.

I feel a little embarrassed, but I have to admit it.

It seems they did argue for a while in the school clinic.

Yes, just for a little while.

Ron pursed his lips and said, "Dylan, where were you just now? You took so long to get here. If you had come earlier, you could have caught up with the others. Maybe with you here, we could have chatted with Harry a little longer."

"Uh, I just went to eat."

"what?"

Ron seemed not to have heard Dylan's words clearly, and turned his head blankly, blinking repeatedly.

"You...you just went to eat? While Harry was being frightened unconscious by the Dementors?"

Dylan's embarrassment quickly passed.

"Yeah, anyway, it'll only bother Harry if I stay here, so I'm going to fill my own stomach first."

“But…” Ron wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.

"But what but? Dylan didn't come over specifically to chat with Harry, but he at least brought Harry something."

Hermione scoffed, "Besides, there were so many people here, including you. Did your comforting words make Harry feel any better? I don't think so."

"On the contrary, Dylan brought fruit, so at least Harry could eat some to replenish his nutrition and help him recover faster."

Ron was unhappy again.

"You talk as if you're of any use. Your comfort is useless, isn't it? Besides, you didn't bring any gifts."

Dylan rubbed his forehead: "Alright, when visiting a patient, if you don't bring anything, just offer your condolences; if you bring something, then there's less small talk. It's the same thing—we all want the patient to get better."

With Dylan acting as the middleman.

Ron and Hermione finally stopped bickering.

They went to eat, and Dylan returned to his dorm room.

Harry wasn't actually traumatized.

It's just that his mental state might not be quite right after facing the Dementors.

Harry wanted to leave on Sunday morning, but Madam Pomfrey disagreed and insisted that Harry stay in the infirmary for observation.

Dylan, of course, didn't feel anything about it.

Anyway, he doesn't usually have much contact with Harry.

Or rather, he didn't have much contact with anyone else.

However, Ron missed Harry for two whole days because Harry wasn't there.

Dylan even had a feeling that Ron would toss and turn in bed for the two nights this weekend, looking like he was suffering from lovesickness.

on Monday.

Harry was finally "discharged" from the hospital.

Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the morning.

Professor Lu Ping has also been "discharged" from the hospital.

Therefore, there is no need for Professor Snape to teach them today.

This made the students extremely happy.

—Because Professor Lupin canceled the assignment that Professor Snape had given him as soon as he arrived.

This has brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

In fact, most people were very happy.

They had a real headache completing this assignment.

Moreover, the completion rate is generally not high.

—Of course, this is also related to the Quidditch match held last Saturday.

Throughout that entire day, almost no student in the school had time to think about how to do their homework.

—Everyone's off watching the competition and having fun, who cares about homework!

So everyone was quite nervous about this class, thinking they were about to be subjected to another whole lesson of language baptism from Professor Snape.

The outcome was unexpectedly reversed.

When Professor Lu Ping came to teach, they were all happy again.

As for who is saddened...

Hermione naturally wants to do her best in every aspect.

She really did make time to finish her homework in the evening.

Moreover, the homework was far beyond her pre-study schedule.

—God.

The paper consisted of two full sheets of parchment.

To discuss the physical structure, habits, and other knowledge points of werewolves.

This is equivalent to asking a third-grade student to write a detailed account of human anatomy right now.

Even just looking up information takes a lot of time!

Despite the complexity of the task, Hermione managed to complete it.

However, she didn't grieve for long.

Because it was near the end of Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Professor Lupin noticed the parchment Hermione had placed next to the table, which she was about to throw away after class.

After some questioning, it was discovered that Hermione had completed the homework that Professor Snape had assigned last week.

Professor Lu Ping reviewed it once.

Hermione's homework was considered to be of a high standard—though not perfect.

Because there are still many flaws.

However, this was already quite good, and Professor Lupin generously added a full fifteen points to Gryffindor's score.

With the start of school days.

For the next period of time, the entire Hogwarts school gradually calmed down, without any waves or ups and downs.

Dylan continued with his daily life.

Practice the Ancient Flame, Guardian Charm, and Food Spell.

—The Food Spell was a learning detail that Cedric occasionally sought out from Dylan to ask about Occlumency.

This included asking Dylan to test whether his Occlumency training had made any progress.

Cedric taught him in his spare time.

At the same time, it was because Cedric taught Dylan the spells that he realized just how terrifying Dylan's talent was!

He had just handed the spell to Dylan, and even gave him a special reminder about the spell's difficulty.

Then he turned around and wanted to try performing the brain-closure technique again.

Dylan had already learned the spell and started making food.

This left Cedric even more dumbfounded.

No?

Are you the god of magic?
Learning magic this fast?!
