Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 245 Ravenclaw: Are you a Dementor?
"Of course, it's up to you."

Dylan gestured for him to proceed.

The two walked towards the forest.

There were many fallen leaves on the ground.

Dylan and Ravenclaw walked on the soft leaves.

Ravenclaw looked around.

Dylan gently kicked away the pine cones at his feet.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, a warm breeze swept over their heads.

A fire dragon flew over.

"Ow!"

With a series of flapping sounds.

A giant dragon covered in gray-black scales landed on the ground with a thud.

"call!"

The breath it exhaled from its nose was still warm.

Its thick tail slapped gently on the ground, making the surrounding pebbles bounce.

Norbert stared curiously at Ravenclaw with his round, vertical pupils.

"This is one of my teachers. She will be living here with you from now on. Be polite to her, okay?"

Of course, even if they were to be impolite, Ravenclaw would surely have Norbert completely under their thumb.

no way.

The hard power is there for all to see.

"Ow!"

However, Norbert listens to Dylan very much.

Upon hearing this, he simply nodded his large head, and even his bared teeth became less prominent.

Ravenclaw looked at the dragon before him with slight surprise.

"I never imagined there was a dragon in your world? Is it possible to keep dragons in the magical world now?"

Dylan shook his head: "No, it's illegal to keep a dragon as a pet."

But the next moment.

He chuckled softly again.

"But as long as I don't follow the laws of the Ministry of Magic, I can keep it."

Ravenclaw laughed too.

"In fact, laws are only used to restrict the real world, while your world is naturally not bound by any rules—you are the master here, you set the rules, so you can naturally raise whatever you want."

Dylan raised his eyebrows slightly.

I didn't expect Ravenclaw to be so adaptable.

"hiss~"

Just then, another hissing sound came from the forest.

Ravenclaw looked over.

What they saw was a giant snake with a ferocious appearance but a very timid expression.

She was stunned: "This is... a basilisk?"

Ravenclaw suddenly frowned and turned to Dylan: "Did you create this?"

Dylan shook his head: "No, it was created by Slytherin. He sealed it in a secret room at Hogwarts so that his successor, after taking control of the Basilisk, would kill all half-blood wizards and create a world where only pure-blood wizards could survive."

Ravenclaw's delicate eyebrows furrowed even more.

It must be said that Ravenclaw is beautiful, almost unreal.

Her oval face was as white as mutton fat jade, her eyebrows were arched, her eyes were like black gemstones, her nose was straight and delicate, her lips were red, her teeth were pearly white, her figure was graceful, and her temperament was gentle and refined.

Even now, with my brows furrowed, I feel a sense of light veiling the moon through thin clouds.

"How dare he do this? I never imagined he'd gone this far. I told him long ago not to study dark magic, much less to use it extensively, or he'd only suffer the consequences!"

Ravenclaw's voice was tinged with a sigh.

Dylan blinked: "Is Headmaster Slytherin also someone who likes to study dark magic?"

Ravenclaw nodded: "After founding the school, he became even more fascinated by the study of spells."

Sigh again.

Ravenclaw's tone was tinged with regret.

"Dylan, do you know the differences between the four houses of Hogwarts?"

Upon hearing this, Dylan pondered for a moment and nodded.

"It's probably about each person's character."

Ravenclaw nodded slightly.

"Hufflepuff believes that the most important thing is the friends around her and the beauty in front of her, so she stays true to reality and has a good relationship with everyone."

“Gryffindor believes that the most important thing is new experiences, so he always seeks excitement and dares to explore the unknown, and will always maintain his curiosity about the world.”

"And I still have Slytherin."

"In our value system, the most important thing is probably the realization of self-worth."

“In fact, at the beginning, Salazar and I had a lot to discuss, and I would often talk to him about magic.”

"But we are different. Slytherin's value is measured by his interaction with the outside world, so he will always pursue power and status by any means necessary, and seek external recognition and the submission of others."

"However, as one of the founders of Hogwarts, he was already in a high position at that time, but he was still not satisfied and turned to study dark magic and more vicious curses."

Ravenclaw's gaze held a hint of reminiscence.

"It was around that time that we gradually began to go our separate ways. Hufflepuff tried to dissuade him many times, and Gryffindor even fought with him several times. In the end, it only made Slytherin drift further and further away from us."

Ravenclaw sighed again.

“I always thought I would have a lot in common with Slytherin, but it wasn’t until he showed us his latest research on dark magic that I realized we are really two different kinds of people.”

"I believe the most important thing is to measure yourself by yourself. Whether it is wealth, power, or status, the acquisition of these things cannot prove yourself. Only by pursuing what you love can you achieve what you cherish."

Dylan paused slightly as he listened to Ravenclaw's words.

In fact, dividing everyone into only four categories is still too crude.

The four academies, to varying degrees, share some similarities.

Regardless, the four founders who initially established Hogwarts all started by supporting each other.

In the end, Slytherin drifted away from everyone, which is enough to show that everyone changes.

Otherwise, if from the very beginning Slytherin had displayed an obsession and fanaticism with dark magic, a disregard for life, and a focus on bloodlines.

It's likely that the other three founders won't become his partners either.

Ravenclaw and Slytherin are indeed very similar.

Many villains come from Slytherin.

However, Ravenclaw also has its share of characters like Lockhart and Rita.

In Dylan's view

Take Lockhart as an example.

His ultimate goal is to seek fame and fortune through various means.

The fame and fortune that the Slytherins sought were merely one of the means to an end.

But one thing is certain.

Both Ravenclaw and Slytherin are capable of using any means necessary to pursue what they love.

Sometimes, it's just that because the things we love are so pure and harmless, they don't seem so dangerous at first glance, and instead appear innocent and naive.

But the more this seemed to be the case, the more likely it was that a number of mad scientists would emerge. As for Ravenclaw and Slytherin themselves...

In fact, what they have in common is that they all want to prove themselves.

It's just that one seeks internally, and the other seeks externally.

"If Gryffindor is always looking for new things, why didn't he become interested in dark magic?" Dylan asked.

Still feeling a bit melancholic, Ravenclaw paused slightly at Dylan's sudden question, then a smile crept onto his lips.

"Him... how do you know he never had an interest in dark magic?"

"Oh?" Dylan opened his eyes.

"That Gryffindor sword is most capable of slaying dark magic creations. How do you think it was forged?"

"Wasn't it made by fairies?"

"Yes, but it also has Gryffindor-specific magic on it. Could it be a mark left by a goblin?"

Dylan's eyelashes fluttered twice.

"So to say……"

"Just as you thought, he not only studied black magic, but also had a very deep understanding of it."

"However, the difference is that Slytherins would go to great lengths to experiment with a dark spell, but Gryffindors would not. Instead, they would try to improve the dark spell and see if the price to be paid could be replaced."

Dylan nodded slowly.

"That's it..."

Suddenly, he remembered something.

seemingly……

He always seems to be doing experiments, and at the same time researching some kind of black magic.

If Ravenclaw found out, wouldn't he feel some resentment?

Dylan smacked his lips.

He hid in his own world to conduct his shady experiments.

Why did I suddenly feel like I couldn't even stay in my own world anymore, and wanted to go somewhere else to do experiments?
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Ravenclaw turned around.

Dylan shook his head: "Nothing, just thinking about some trivial things."

Ravenclaw nodded, not asking any further questions, and instead turned his gaze back to the basilisk.

"You said it was created by Salazar, and that he needed his successor to help him accomplish what he had failed to do—and now this basilisk has come to you…are you that successor?"

Dylan denied it outright: "No, I am not. The heir is Voldemort, whom I mentioned before."

"Hmm? But didn't you also say that he was already dead, but was still trying to be resurrected? Could it be that he has successfully come back to life?"

Ravenclaw was very interested in this.

She never discovered true immortality before she died.

To achieve long-term survival.

There are actually quite a few methods.

But in her opinion, they were all too inferior.

It's better to die than to live such a wretched life.

She wasn't sure which method Dylan was referring to when he said Voldemort was resurrected.

But those methods that she looked down upon were actually extremely difficult to achieve.

The fact that the other party could do this is clearly not that of an ordinary person.

Or they are also those who have conducted an extreme study of black magic.

Either they've discovered a new way of using magic.

“No, he hasn’t been successfully resurrected yet.” Dylan shook his head again, then looked at the crown in Ravenclaw’s hand. “This is a Horcrux he made. He tried to be resurrected using a diary Horcrux, but I stopped him in the end.”

Ravenclaw smiled slightly: "I knew it was you who stopped him, otherwise this basilisk wouldn't have appeared here, right?"

Dylan chuckled softly, "Yeah."

Ravenclaw, holding his crown, said, "Let me guess, that Horcrux made from the diary is in your possession now, isn't it?"

"You really are a prophet." Dylan did not deny it.

"Could it be... that you also want to create your own Horcrux?"

Dylan raised an eyebrow, looking at Ravenclaw with surprise: "Why would you think that?"

"After all, a Horcrux represents the ability to make someone immortal. I doubt anyone could resist that temptation, right?"

"But Horcruxes also represent the division of the soul, and I am unwilling to accept a fragmented version of myself."

Ravenclaw nodded: "If you can say that, I believe you wouldn't do it either."

Dylan paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "You can keep the crown for now; I might need it for some research sometimes."

"Don't worry about me. In fact, I can still achieve immortality even without resorting to these evil methods. It's just that I don't think it's the most suitable way, so I will continue my research."

"Oh?" Ravenclaw blinked. "You... have already mastered the method of immortality?"

Dylan chuckled: "I already have a whole world, so how difficult could achieving immortality be?"

Ravenclaw gazed at Dylan, his eyes filled with tears.

"Is it possible for me to know what method of immortality you possess?"

"Since you asked, of course I can."

Dylan shrugged: "I'm just able to absorb the emotions, even the souls, of living beings, like a Dementor, to slow down or even reverse aging."

"But I'm still a child, so I don't need to reverse aging at all."

Ravenclaw was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

She looked Dylan up and down, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Could you actually be a Dementor?"

"what?"

Dylan paused, then shook his head.

"No, I'm not a Dementor, I just have Dementor abilities."

Ravenclaw paused for a moment, then said, "It's still because of your secret, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. If you're willing to tell me someday, I would be very grateful."

Ravenclaw paused for a moment, then asked, "Will possessing the power of a Dementor affect me?"

Dylan could understand Ravenclaw, a man so passionate about pursuing wisdom and knowledge.

Upon discovering that he possessed an independent world.

Moreover, he harbors so many secrets.

A little wizard who even possesses the power of Dementors.

How interested they would be.

Dylan deliberately said those things.

After all, Ravenclaw was created from the Ravenclaw portrait that the system rewarded him with.

But what is the actual situation of the other party, and does he/she possess completely independent wisdom?

And whether, one day in the future, some unforeseen conflict might occur with him.

These were all things Dylan could not have predicted.

Therefore, using various methods—knowledge—to keep the other party hanging is also a form of protection.

After thinking for a moment, Dylan shook his head.

"No—at least not here. As for others, I think no one can use the power of Dementors yet, so I don't know."
