Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 244 Become My Butler, Ravenclaw!

Dylan held Ravenclaw's slightly cold hand, bowed his head gently in a gentlemanly manner, and then slightly raised Ravenclaw's palm.

"The real world...the real me..."

Ravenclaw looked around, feeling his real body, and was somewhat surprised.

Because she knew that she should appear to be nothing more than a portrait.

Although she had no idea what happened before she became the portrait.

Her memories are still of when she was a Ravenclaw.

But Ravenclaw has a very clear understanding of himself.

But now, she seems to have truly broken free from the portrait.

She can not only exist outside the portrait, but also in the world that contains her.

It's not the real world, yet it is also the real world!

Feel the wind whistling past your ears.

Ravenclaw used magic to steady himself.

The two stood high in the sky.

Beneath my feet, the vast world unfolds in a stunningly symmetrical manner.

To the left is an extremely vast forest.

The tree canopy is layered and bathed in moonlight, with fireflies flitting among it.

To the right is an endless ocean.

Waves surged and crashed, their crests colliding, creating a deafening roar.

With each surge of the waves, Ravenclaw felt more deeply that this was indeed a real world.

"This is truly a place of miracles. I can sense an extremely strong life force here. There must be quite a few creatures in this world, right?"

Dylan nodded: "I must say, your perception is truly remarkable."

Ravenclaw closed his eyes slightly, and a magical aura emanated from his body.

"I also sensed something even more surprising—"

"what?"

Ravenclaw paused, then looked at Dylan: "I wonder if I could borrow your wand?"

Dylan blinked slightly: "Of course—no."

He looked up at Ravenclaw's head; after she left the portrait, the crown that had been on her head disappeared.

Dylan thought for a moment, then flipped his hand over, and a crown suddenly appeared in his palm.

"Is it my crown?" Ravenclaw's gaze sharpened.

“Yes, it is your crown.” Dylan nodded.

Ravenclaw stared at the crown, which was shaped like an eagle, his brow furrowing slightly.

“A sinister aura. Why has my crown become like this? It can still enlighten the mind, but it seems there is another soul within it…”

"Voldemort, the Dark Lord who almost ruled the entire wizarding world, merged his soul into a crown in pursuit of eternal existence."

“Voldemort?” Ravenclaw frowned even more. “That’s not a nice name.”

Dylan: /--マ
Why is this dean focusing on such a strange point?
"However, he has been dealt with, but recently, he seems to have been trying to be resurrected and has done a lot of things, making a mess of Hogwarts."

Ravenclaw then looked at Dylan: "With you here, do you think Voldemort can succeed? Although you are still young, I can sense an extremely strong magical aura emanating from you, and..."

Ravenclaw looked around.

"You possess an entire real world—something even I couldn't achieve. I imagine you must be an extremely powerful wizard even in your time?"

Ravenclaw did not look down on Dylan because of his youth; on the contrary, he praised Dylan highly.

Dylan curled the corners of his mouth: "I think that if we only consider the power of magic and the depth of my mastery of spells, I can indeed be considered a powerful wizard, but there is still so much knowledge in this world that I can learn."

Ravenclaw gave Dylan an approving look.

"Yes, knowledge is endless, and I have only glimpsed a corner of it."

After speaking, Ravenclaw looked at Dylan with some confusion: "Although we have only just met, I have never been hostile towards you from the beginning. On the contrary, I always feel a sense of closeness. After talking for a while, your views on learning knowledge have puzzled me. Why didn't you become Ravenclaw, that is, my student?"

Dylan's eyelashes fluttered twice: "Hmm, maybe the Sorting Hat thinks I'm more courageous?"

"The Sorting Hat?"

This is mentioned.

A look of disbelief crossed Ravenclaw's face.

"Can it still work now? So many years have passed."

Dylan looked at Ravenclaw with a puzzled expression: "Yes, it can, and it even does part-time work now, doing several jobs with one hat."

"Huh? Part-time job?" Ravenclaw asked, puzzled.

“Yes, it also swallowed a greatsword whole.” Dylan nodded.

Ravenclaw blinked. "You mean... the Sorting Hat swallowed the sword that Gryffindor forged?"

"To be precise, it temporarily preserved the Sword of Gryffindor."

"I see... So after all these years, its belly must feel very full."

Ravenclaw smiled. "It's a conscious hat, extremely difficult for anyone to control. I think Gryffindor must have threatened it, otherwise it wouldn't have agreed to have any foreign objects in its belly."

Dylan and Ravenclaw were standing on steps formed by flowing water.

This time it was Dylan's turn to ask Ravenclaw a question out of curiosity.

"Dean, I noticed you seemed to be able to use magic before? How is your strength now?"

After all, Ravenclaw was someone he pulled out of the portrait.

Ultimately, she was just a fake person, but in his world, she seemed to exist as a soul, like a ghost.

However, that's not quite right, because Ravenclaw seems to believe that she herself has a real physical body.

How can a person with a physical body be a ghost?

Therefore, Dylan is quite curious about Ravenclaw's current state.

If we can figure this out.

Dylan had a premonition.

He must be able to make great breakthroughs in space, soul, flesh and blood, and life magic!

Perhaps Ravenclaw's current situation is also related to time.

Just thinking about it made Dylan excited.

"I'm not sure. I do have some recollection of a lot of knowledge and spells. If I had to say how much of my strength I still retain, I'd say around 80%."

Eighty percent?

Dylan was amused.

Let alone 80%.

Even if this Dean only has 50% of his strength right now.

That's ridiculously strong!

"Dean, although I am not a student of Ravenclaw, now that you have appeared in my world, you will probably be staying here for a long time. I hope I can ask you any questions I may have?"

Dylan's eyes lit up.

Ravenclaw smiled faintly: "Of course, no problem. After all, you asked me to bring her here. And—don't call me Headmaster, just call me Rowena."

Dylan paused, then asked, "Is this appropriate?"

“Why not? This is your world, and perhaps I was created from your secret as well.” Ravenclaw smiled serenely, an air of beauty emanating from her. Dylan squinted and stroked his chin.

It seems that although Ravenclaw cannot directly perceive his system, he has at least some guesses about it in light of the current situation.

correct!

Ravenclaw is now stepping out of the portrait.

So, is it possible to return to the portrait, or rather, to leave his world?
Dylan fell into deep thought.

In fact, even if Ravenclaw could leave his world, Dylan had no intention of taking him out now.

After all, if this portrait wasn't the one in the principal's office...

That means there's a Ravenclaw portrait in the principal's office.

Let the two portraits collide face to face...

Dylan couldn't even imagine what might happen.

Instead, they keep the other person in their own world.

This world is completely under his control.

Therefore, leaving it behind would put Dylan at ease.

Moreover, it would be wonderful if someone with great magical powers, extensive knowledge, and such a beautiful appearance existed in his world.

Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it is also extremely practical.

"In that case... Dean Rowena, would I have the honor of inviting you to become the administrator of my world?"

Ravenclaw's eyes crinkled with amusement: "Are you inviting me to be your butler?"

Dylan bowed slightly: "That's right, but this home is a whole world—and it will grow bigger and bigger. I think one day, this world will become a real world."

Ravenclaw pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I agree. Hmm, I'm really curious, did you find the legendary World Tree?"

Upon hearing this, Dylan simply smiled without saying a word and offered no reply.

Let Ravenclaw figure it out himself.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Ravenclaw might really be a creation of the system. Of course, she could also be something the system plundered from somewhere.

Regardless, Ravenclaw's portrait is ultimately a product of the system.

Products produced by the system must be of high quality.

Moreover, not only are they high-quality products, but they are also usually very reliable.

Just as Ravenclaw told him.

From the very first time they met.

Despite Ravenclaw's dignified demeanor, she actually harbors no hostility towards Dylan.

This also suggests that there may be systemic suppression, or some other reason.

In any case, Ravenclaw wouldn't do anything underhanded to him, otherwise they might have started fighting the moment they met.

Making Ravenclaw the butler of his world is the most appropriate decision imaginable.

"If I have the opportunity to invite the deans of the other three academies later, you might be able to treat my entire world as an academy."

Ravenclaw paused slightly: "With Salazar's interference, if you really let him manage your world like a school, your world might develop in an unpredictable direction."

Dylan remained noncommittal on this matter.

The founder's magic is extremely powerful.

But it became his portrait.

Moreover, it was within his own world that he pulled him out of the portrait.

In the end, wouldn't we just have to let him do whatever he wants?
Out of respect for the founder of Hogwarts.

Dylan was quite happy to give the deans a friendly look.

If Salazar doesn't know what's good for him...

Then go to the cabin.

Go with Tom.

He no longer needs to manage the world.

Let him become Dylan's experimental subject.

"Judging from your expression, you seem confident, so I won't say any more."

Ravenclaw looked down: "How about you take me down for a walk?"

"Of course, it's a bit chilly here with the wind blowing," Dylan chuckled.

He ignored Ravenclaw.

The other party was also circulating magic, maintaining their suspended position in mid-air.

The two slowly flew towards the ground.

Ravenclaw looked around.

As she moved, her understanding of the world deepened.

"It is not only a real world, but although there are few ecological environments, I can feel the balance of life."

Ravenclaw’s voice was light: “The whole world is like a magic clock that is running in perfect order, with every gear in just the right place, maintaining its own ecosystem.”

Ravenclaw turned to look at the ocean.

The whirlpools in the deep ocean seem to possess the power of cyclical tides.

Even though there is no real moon in the sky.

But the moonlight was as bright as a candle.

Ravenclaw had no idea where the moonlight came from.

However, since there is the power of tides.

That means that this world probably also contains the workings of the stars.

"It's incredible."

The sea breeze ruffled Ravenclaw's hair, and the crown she held in her hands, though dazzling, could not match the brilliance in her eyes.

“I once built a small ecological park. I put a lot of effort into simulating the perfect magical ecology, but the final result was still unsatisfactory.”

Ravenclaw gazed at the point where the sea met the forest: “Yet here, I clearly sensed a true dynamic balance, a balance between life and nature, functioning perfectly.”

The more Ravenclaw thinks and the more he notices, the more an irrepressible smile appears on his face.

That was the ecstasy that a scholar naturally felt when he glimpsed an unimaginable truth.

“If you truly created this world independently, and you know the magical principles behind it, I think Dylan, you would definitely be able to overturn the entire history of magic, and everyone would flock to you.”

"At that time, I, the headmaster who created Hogwarts, will seem utterly insignificant."

“Don’t say that, Headmistress—although as a co-founder and administrator of Hogwarts, you can be called either Headmaster or Headmistress, but I’ll just call you that—Headmistress Rowena, your wisdom is still sought after by wizards even today.”

“You’re really good at comforting people,” Ravenclaw said with a smile.

"Now that I've become your butler, I think I should explore this world properly first, is that alright?"

Ravenclaw's tone carried a barely perceptible hint of excitement.

A world independent of the rest of the world.

If it was created.

That shouldn't be called magic, it should be called divine power, right?

In other words, wouldn't the person who created the world also be able to become a god?
