Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 234 How can helping someone find love trigger an achievement?
"So, that Peter Pettigrew guy died many years ago, but you discovered his name while checking the Marauder's Map at night?"

Dylan looked at Harry.

In fact, although Professor McGonagall and the others deliberately sealed the place with a spell at the end of their conversation.

Harry could only wear the Invisibility Cloak and sneak over to eavesdrop.

However, Dylan has a keen eye for spying.

A fleeting glance.

It can then pass through the obstruction.

They spied on what Professor McGonagall and the others were saying.

After all, lip reading can be detected by stalking.

Harry nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! That's it! But I didn't look closely at the time. I think I saw that name..."

Dylan's mouth twitched.

After the Marauder's Map was given to him by the Weasley twins, he immediately gave it back to Harry.

Discovering this kind of thing.

Unlike before, Harry no longer buries himself in investigating cases with his friends.

Why are you asking him instead?
"Aren't you unsure if you've seen the name? Why don't you take another look?"

Dylan said casually.

Harry hesitated for a moment.

"Um, I'm a little scared... I don't dare to look at it myself..."

Dylan: ()…

"Uh, I see." Dylan forced a smile.

Harry lowered his head even further, a blush creeping onto his cheeks.

—I'm afraid to look at maps...it's actually a bit embarrassing to talk about.

"You definitely need to confirm this first."

Dylan glanced behind him and, seeing that no one had seen him and Harry sneaking around in this deserted corner, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, Peter Pettigrew appears on the Marauder's Map.

Dylan was somewhat puzzled.

Previously, the Marauder's Map had always been in the hands of the Weasley twins.

Did they not see the insect's tail after holding the map for so long?

Ron didn't know about the Marauder's Map before, and even now, he hasn't seen it himself.

It's one thing if you don't know about insect tails.

But the Weasley twins went through so much trouble to figure out the purpose of the map.

Now that you know how to use Marauder's Map, how could you not have seen the worm tail that turned into a rat named Spotted?
Peter Pettigrew, who is disguised as a mouse, can be said to be a pet passed down through the Weasley family.

The tradition is passed down from one generation to the next.

The Weasley twins stole the Marauder's Map from Filch's office when they were in first grade.

They would often use the Marauder's Map to wander around Hogwarts.

Especially at night.

The campus was deserted.

There's a little black dot named Peter Pettigrew running around everywhere. It's hard not to notice him, isn't it?
After Dylan got the map, he studied it and found that it was originally a piece of parchment that could be unfolded.

It's not too small.

Even if names sometimes overlap, a name that keeps changing back and forth, especially at night, must have some moments when it doesn't overlap, right?

Based on George and his companion's curiosity.

Why didn't they investigate who the people running around the campus with them late at night were?

of course.

It's also possible that Peter Pettigrew doesn't wander around at night, but stays obediently in the Gryffindor common room.

There are so many people in the lounge that their names overlap.

It's also possible that Hogwarts is just that big.

It's possible that the Weasley twins, while running around at night, didn't happen to notice Peter Pettigrew, who had wandered off somewhere else.

Well, in short, it's not a very convincing explanation.

Dylan shrugged.

The night Harry received the Marauder's Map, he discovered Peter Pettigrew.

"I guess that's just fate."

He looked up at Harry: "If you're too scared to look, you can always call Ron and the others over to keep you company."

"Of course, if you'd like me to be there too—to look at the map with you, I'd be happy to, it won't take much time anyway."

Harry scratched his head sheepishly. "Dylan, thank you."

Dylan waved his hand: "There's nothing to thank me for."

This time, Harry didn't ponder the matter alone or go with Ron and the others to investigate the clues, as he usually did.

Instead, they chose to take a shortcut, heading straight for him to find out the truth about something that was clearly hiding a secret.

This certainly surprised Dylan.

When did Harry develop this kind of awareness?
In the previous two semesters, Dylan hadn't thought Harry would be this smart.

If you encounter a problem, you should immediately pass it on to someone else.

For example, they could ask Professor McGonagall, who would then report it to Old Deng.

Old Deng stepped in and nipped the problem in the bud.

Dylan thinks that there probably won't be enough time to make seven movies.

It can be solved in one step.

The original work didn't need to go to so much trouble to write so much.

Click.

All the problems were solved.

However, stories always have this kind of dramatic element.

The persistence and curiosity of children are gone.

How do you write about a person's growth experience from childhood to adulthood?

How could a fairy tale become popular all over the country?

Therefore, all Dylan can say is that everything has a cause and everything has an effect.

"Harry, remember to be careful when you're on the move."

Dylan cautioned, "Also, I've worked with this map before. Sometimes it doesn't quite capture all the names, but whatever it does capture is accurate; it won't make a mistake."

—In fact, the fact that it never makes mistakes is enough to demonstrate how powerful Marauder's Map is.

The fact that a map will not make mistakes does not mean that it possesses the power of rules.

Rather, it means that many, many spells have been added to this map to prevent malfunctions.

This kind of spell is excellent in both quantity and quality.

These enchanted arches ensure that the content displayed on the Marauder's Map is accurate.

Dylan couldn't help but marvel again at how impressive it was that a few underage kids could create such an imaginative magical artifact.

—Of course, he might be a little more skilled.

"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Dylan."

Harry nodded. "Where are you going? If not, let's go back together."

"I have something to discuss with Professor Flitwick. You should go back first."

"it is good."

Harry didn't ask Dylan what he wanted to do with Professor Flitwick. Instead, he lowered his head, looked uneasy, and turned to leave, heading towards the Gryffindor Tower.

Dylan watched his retreating figure and shrugged.

Then he quickly left the secluded alley.

As soon as he stepped outside and went upstairs, Dylan bumped into Cedric again.

"Oh! Hi, Dylan!"

Cedric greeted Dylan excitedly.

Dylan waved to him: "Good evening, how was your date? I bet it was pretty good!"

Cedric, beaming, nodded: "Thanks to your divination, my date with Qiu went very well. She complimented me three times today at the teahouse, saying I was so handsome!"

"I never thought that one day I would feel that my good looks could be my source of confidence!"

"Hehehe, this makes me dare to think, maybe she also thinks I'm a little special."

As Cedric spoke, he looked down and ruffled his hair, but couldn't help but smile.

“I used to think that people were just being polite when they complimented me on my looks, but now I think I really am kind of handsome!”

Dylan listened to Cedric's opening and thought there was nothing wrong with it.

However, the more the other person spoke, the more Dylan's upturned lips turned down, until he finally pursed them.

"Oh, hehe, then congratulations!" Dylan offered his congratulations in a lukewarm manner.

"I really have to thank you for this. Your divination was so helpful. I did exactly as you said—every single step, every single movement!"

Dylan raised an eyebrow.

Isn't this nonsense?
These were all actions he had meticulously designed through repeated divination.

Don't say that all guys like girls who are manipulative and scheming.

Actually, girls see boys in the same way.

I glanced at Cedric's outfit today.

The outer garment was still a crisp wizard's shawl, but underneath was a clean white shirt, the collar buttoned up neatly without a single wrinkle, the cuffs neatly folded up, revealing a clean wrist.

He possessed both the elegance of a wizard and the crisp, refreshing air of a young man.

Not to mention Qiu Zhang, just along the way they walked, how many young girls secretly glanced at them with shy yet irresistible eyes?

"I hope you all have a smooth journey," Dylan said politely.

Cedric laughed and said, "I'm already looking forward to my next date with Cho, Dylan, could you...?"

Dylan immediately shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary. If I have to do a divination for every date you have, then this kind of carefully designed date experience will seem a bit deliberate."

"Once is fine, but if it happens too often, and you end up living together permanently, all the problems you haven't seen before will suddenly surface."

"At that time, your relationship may encounter problems, or even develop huge, irreparable cracks—do you want to see that day happen?"

Cedric paused for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly: "No, I definitely don't want to see that happen."

“That settles it.” Dylan shrugged. “You have nothing to worry about. You’re handsome enough, from a good family, and a good student. As long as you’re serious about relationships, the girls who like you will like you back.”

Dylan didn't say that girls would necessarily like Cedric like that.

Be conservative.

What if one day the little girl stops paying attention to him?

Who knows if Cedric will use that statement to ask him why?
Children can have self-confidence.

But don't be too confident.

If you're overconfident to an extreme, then there's something wrong with you.

“Okay.” Cedric nodded, then asked, “Are you going back to your dorm now?”

Dylan shook his head: "No, I need to go see Professor Flitwick now."

"Oh?" Cedric raised an eyebrow. "You're going to see the professor at this hour for extra lessons?"

"No, not really. I don't need to go to Professor Flitwick for extra lessons anymore."

Dylan chuckled. "Besides, Professor Flitwick doesn't seem to want to tutor me much anymore."

Cedric paused, blinking repeatedly.

"It seems you have something else to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

Dylan dismissed Cedric.

We're almost at Professor Flitwick's office door now.

However, at this moment, he glanced at his system panel.

Another achievement is shining.

Dylan raised an eyebrow.

Lately, I've been unable to trigger achievements for doing ordinary things.

He didn't do anything special this time, so how did he unlock a new achievement?

Dylan glanced at it curiously.

------

"Tarot cards?"

Dylan never expected that helping a friend arrange a date would actually lead to such an achievement.

He smacked his lips.

Dylan glanced at the tarot cards that the system had awarded him.

------

------

"Three effects?"

After Dylan examined the abilities of this tarot deck...

He nodded slightly.

These effects are generally quite good.

It can help others with divination, provide early warnings for oneself, and even offer services to help the diviner explore their subconscious.

This greatly helped Dylan in his subsequent divination practices.

Dylan didn't take out the tarot cards immediately; instead, he planned to wait until he got back to his dorm after asking Professor Flitwick about Vera's address.

I walked all the way to Professor Flitwick's office.

Dylan gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

A voice came from inside the house.

Dylan pushed the door open and walked in.

At a glance, you can see the short professor hunched over the table, head down, writing something, the quill pen scratching on the parchment.

Who is it?

Professor Flitwick, hearing the noise, asked without looking up.

However, no reply came after half a day.

He looked up and saw Dylan.

Instantly, the short professor's eyes widened in surprise.

Suddenly, he shrank back.

"Dylan? What brings you here—I mean, is there something you need?"
