Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

"You're not coming again, are you—?"

Professor Flitwick stood up, gripping the edge of the table, and stared at Dylan as if he were a giant nocturnal spider that had intruded into his office.

"I remember, tutoring should have been suspended by now, right? Is it the notebook you left with me before? But I had someone bring it to you."

Dylan's lips twitched at Professor Flitwick's strong reaction.

“Professor, I’m not here for tutoring. You know I don’t really need to ask you about normal magical knowledge anymore. I only ask you when I encounter some problems.”

"And I will definitely ask you in advance if you have time."

Professor Flitwick breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing that Dylan hadn't come to ask him for private tutoring.

It's not surprising that he reacted so strongly.

Dylan's magical skill level is indeed quite high now.

What he can teach others is nothing more than the experience he has accumulated over the years.

As for the knowledge in textbooks, Dylan could naturally acquire it by reading books.

And now, every time Dylan comes to him with a question...

They would ask extremely tricky and obscure questions, things that even he might not be able to fully understand.

He told Dylan what he understood, but it wasn't necessarily 100% correct.

If he doesn't answer Dylan's question, he'll seem useless as a professor.

Dylan asked many times.

He now feels the same tingling sensation he had when a professor suddenly asked him about a spell he hadn't fully mastered back in school.

Who exactly is the professor?!
Professor Flitwick chuckled twice: "So you've come here now because you want to..."

"I'd like to see if you know Vera's current address, Professor."

"Vera's address?"

Professor Flitwick was taken aback. "What happened to that girl? What do you need her for? I remember you two exchanged contact information before, right?"

Dylan nodded: "It has been changed, but I'm not sure if I can still contact her at the address she gave me before."

"What happened?"

“It was Mr. Florin who wrote to me asking me to pass on his message to his daughter, Vera, that he wishes her a Merry Christmas.”

"Oh, he and Vera had another fight?"

Flitwick was clearly well aware of the specific circumstances of his graduate student.

Dylan nodded: "You could call it an argument, because Vera got injured during the Ministry of Magic's manhunt for Karthus."

"Then Mr. Florin said a few words to her, and according to him, Senior Vera was throwing another tantrum at him."

"Oh, I see... sigh..."

Professor Flitwick nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then sighed.

"That guy named Karthus, I don't know who he is, I've never heard of him before, but he seems to have a very high level of control over the Unforgivable Curse."

Professor Flitwick had a slightly worried look on his face.

"The Ministry of Magic has been hunting him down, but he seems to have vanished into thin air and has never been found—it's unimaginable what evil things he's been doing behind the scenes."

Dylan blinked.

"Perhaps he's just an ordinary wizard who happens to have mastered the max-level Unforgivable Curse?"

Professor Flitwick took a breath and then waved his hand.

“Child, what follows Unforgivable is not ordinary dark magic—in fact, even some spells far less powerful than Unforgivable are enough to affect the mind of an adult wizard, let alone Unforgivable.”

"This extremely evil spell is forbidden throughout the wizarding world, yet this Karthus not only learned it, but mastered it with such a high degree of proficiency. His mind is probably already more twisted than the Devil's Web."

Dylan: "...Yeah, I think so too. I've read a lot of stories in books about dark wizards who, after using dark magic, turned into bloodthirsty madmen who only knew how to kill."

"Yes! It's too dangerous, but he hasn't been caught yet. He's a huge hidden danger!"

Professor Flitwick sighed again: "I don't know what's wrong with this semester, there are criminals everywhere trying to escape the Ministry of Magic's pursuit."

Dylan shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. The world will never be at peace. Fortunately, Hogwarts has its professors. I think they will not allow these vicious criminals to harm the students."

Professor Flitwick chuckled: "That's right! Although they are dangerous, can they be more dangerous than the Mystic? I think that Karthus is probably just someone who wants to use the name of the Nova King to gather all of the Mystic's former subordinates and create an evil organization for his own enjoyment!"

Dylan:

How can it be described so precisely?

Professor Flitwick, do you also do divination?

Reflect on your current situation.

Dylan discovered that it seemed to be just as Professor Flitwick had said.

He had no intention of using his identity as Karthus to try and unify the magical world—something that would be thankless and exhausting.

Looking at all the stories.

A character like Voldemort is just like Shendu.

It can't last forever no matter what.

No matter how strong a living being is.

Could anything be stronger than the world that created him?

Of course, if this being is strong enough to escape this world, it will only enter a more powerful world, and the world will still limit it.

Of course, of course.

—On another note.

It's not that it's impossible for a character like Voldemort to emerge and ultimately achieve great things.

But for a character like this...

You'll usually encounter the most terrifying censorship masters.

That is an existence capable of directly destroying an entire world.

Dylan just wants to focus on learning magic right now; there's no need to think about anything else.

Therefore, Karthus's identity will only be used to gather the forces that Voldemort had previously scattered.

He used their help to gather resources and wealth for him, which allowed him to rise to a higher level.

Or perhaps he'll do something that's not convenient for him to do openly.

Instead of letting these old Voldemort followers unify the wizarding world for him.

What good would it do to unify the magical world?

When you can already live a fulfilling life, taking on the responsibilities of an emperor is the most troublesome thing.

“If Vera is injured, I think the Ministry of Magic will arrange for her to go home and rest for a while—but since she’s not going back to Florin, she’ll just have to go back to her own home.”

Dylan nodded: "It seems I came to the right place, Professor. Please tell me Vera's home address. Last time she only told me her location in the Ministry of Magic."

“Of course.” Professor Flitwick, who happened to be holding a quill, pulled out another piece of parchment. After writing down an address on it, he handed it to Dylan.

"If you're going to write to her, please also give my regards to Vera and keep an eye on her condition," Professor Flitwick said.

Dylan nodded again: "No problem, I'll make it clear in the letter."

Professor Flitwick muttered, "Why is this child pushing herself so hard? Even if she is an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, she probably wouldn't be able to beat that Karthus. She should let someone else go up and deplete his magic first."

Dylan blinked, surprised that Professor Flitwick would suggest such a sneaky fighting style.

It seems he's not entirely a rigid, stereotypical professor after all.

“Mr. Florin told me that Vera was injured by other Death Eaters and did not encounter Karthus.”

"Death Eaters? Are there still Death Eaters wandering around?"

"I think there must be some who slipped through the net, but I heard that the Death Eater has been caught now."

"Hmm." Professor Flitwick tapped his large head. "These are turbulent times, so you should be careful, especially outside the school grounds, to ensure your safety." "Don't worry, Professor, I will."

He would certainly ensure his own safety.

However, it's uncertain who will be on the safe side if someone else faces him.

With the address given to him by Professor Fred, Dylan left the office and turned to walk toward the Gryffindor common room.

"The unicorns in the Forbidden Forest have disappeared again recently. After I got the Blood Diamond, I wanted to find a unicorn to study, but that guy has run off somewhere again."

Dylan pondered to himself.

This unicorn keeps disappearing every few days, and each time it vanishes for such a long time.

Does he still remember the kindness he showed in saving his life?
If it weren't for his timely rescue—so he might not have died, but he would have suffered even more.

"Also, I remember that Slytherin's locket should still be kept by the Black family, right?"

Dylan rubbed his chin.

Slytherin's locket, after being turned into a Horcrux by Voldemort, was hidden in a cave on a remote island and guarded by Inferi and potions.

After learning of the locket's existence, Regulus Black brought his house-elf Kreacher to the cave.

After drinking the potion, he had Kreacher take the real locket and put the fake one into the container that held the potion.

Finally, Regulus was dragged into the water by the Infernals and presumably became a member of their army.

At this point, the locket should not have been stolen by Mundungus Fletcher, nor should it have fallen into Umbridge's hands.

Instead, it's still in Kreacher's hands.

"It's one of the relics of the four giants, and it's a soul weapon at that. If I could get my hands on it..."

Dylan felt he might be on the path to another new achievement.

Moreover, he can regain a part of Voldemort's soul, which is a very profitable deal no matter what.

"Voldemort certainly knows how to pick things to make Horcruxes; several of them seem to be relics of the four leaders, right?"

Hufflepuff's Cup, Slytherin's Locket, Ravenclaw's Crown.

The gold cup and the locket were originally collected by Hepzba Smith, but Voldemort killed him after seeing the collection on display.

They not only killed people, but also robbed their collections.

They also need to use other people's souls to create Horcruxes.

It's simply inhumane!
"Tsk, Voldemort is indeed a pure evil seed. I'll have to give him a few more Unforgivable Curses tonight."

Besides Slytherin's locket and Gryffindor's sword.

The relics of the other two giants are in the Room of Requirement and in Bellatrix Lestrange's Gringotts vault, respectively.

In the Room of Requirement is Ravenclaw's crown.

In fact, Dylan had already discovered the Room of Requirement long ago.

Therefore, he should have gotten his hands on this crown much earlier.

The reason he hasn't yet mastered the Ravenclaw crown is that the storage room is incredibly filthy, probably because it hasn't been visited in a long time.

And it's quite big.

Dylan's need to find Horcruxes was not too urgent.

Instead of spending time rummaging through a pile of junk to find a crown, it would be better to conduct more experiments.

After all, a Horcrux is a Horcrux.

All the carriers are essentially the same as Horcruxes.

The difference between having two Horcruxes and having one Horcrux is actually not that significant.

It would be best to get it.

After all, if you're constantly tormenting the soul within a Horcrux, you'll need more time to allow it to recover.

But if he has to go through all that trouble to get his hands on the Horcrux, then forget it.

The relics of the four leaders, which have already been turned into Horcruxes by Voldemort, probably won't trigger any of the treasures set up by the four leaders.

"Maybe I should have called Harry into the Room of Requirement earlier and had him rummage through that pile of rubbish."

Dylan smacked his lips.

If it weren't for the fact that the Summoning Curse couldn't affect the Horcrux, then...

Actually, it's not bad that he found Ravenclaw's tiara with just one Summoning Spell.

"Never mind, Harry has other things to do lately, I'd rather ask Peeves for help."

Dylan's eyes darted around.

Suddenly, a good idea came to mind.

We've known about the Room of Requirement for quite some time now.

It's time to take Ravenclaw's crown out of that pile of rubbish.

Dylan went back to his dorm on his own.

After reading for a while, I lay down on the bed before curfew started, intending to take a nap.

What Harry does tonight is not really his concern.
