Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 286 [Achievement]: The Cloak of Death!
If Slytherin really was an utterly wicked villain.

Are Godric, Gryffindor, and the others blind to become close friends with such people and co-found Hogwarts?

As they were about to part, Dylan suddenly asked Helena another question.

"Miss Helena, do you think pure-blood wizards or half-blood wizards are more talented?"

Helena thought about it seriously for a while without any discrimination, and then gave her answer.

"Based on my observations over the years, they should be of mixed race."

"Pure-blooded wizards do generally possess powerful magical energy, but many of them are stubborn, aggressive, and not rational enough."

"Mixed-blood wizards are relatively more rational in their thinking, and are therefore more likely to achieve greater success."

Dylan nodded casually; in truth, he was just asking offhand.

After all, there aren't many wizards to begin with, and magic is such a subjective thing.

More often than not, it depends on individual will and perception. There are significant differences between individuals, so it's hard to say how much influence bloodline plays.

After saying goodbye to Helena, Dylan had to go back.

As he passed the fourth floor, he remembered that Harry had asked him to retrieve the Invisibility Cloak, so he walked over to the statue of the One-Eyed Hunchback Witch.

"Separate left and right sides".

The exam starts tomorrow.

At this point, only Dylan still had the confidence to wander outside.

He glanced around to make sure no one would pass by until he emerged from the secret passage covered in dust, then he recited the incantation to open the passage.

As the incantation was recited, the statue of the one-eyed hunchbacked witch slowly opened, revealing the secret passage leading to Honey Duke to Dylan for the first time.

Dylan did not jump into the secret passage.

—After all, he didn't want to get covered in dust.

Dylan simply curled his finger and beckoned it lightly.

Soon, an invisible force of thought traveled along the fingertips and penetrated deep into the secret passage.

A moment later, a strangely shaped cloak was carried out of the secret passage by that psychic power.

It's strange because no matter which angle you look at it from, you can't see its front.

Only the backs, exposed by the folds, swayed slightly in the air, looking like several pieces of fabric randomly pieced together, with frayed edges.

This is the Cloak of Invisibility, one of the three Deathly Hallows, whose practicality lies between the Resurrection Stone and the Elder Wand.

Although it can only achieve visual invisibility, it can still be detected by methods such as magic eyes or human footprints.

But it has no barriers to use.

Moreover, it is not subject to the control of the Flying Curse.

Even from the perspective of the naked eye alone.

As long as you don't pay attention to the footprints on the ground.

Its invisibility effect is truly perfect.

I just got the cloak.

A refreshing coolness spread from my fingertips.

The fabric is delicate and smooth, with a texture that is unlike any ordinary textile.

Dylan gently stroked the corner of his cloak, pondering to himself.

This thing would be very comfortable to use as a blanket in the summer.

besides……

Dylan glanced down at the interface in front of him; yet another collection achievement had been activated.

Sure enough, I saw the obvious look of surprise on my face when I came out of the secret passage during the divination.

It's all for another version of myself to see.

This doesn't make sense. It's one thing for the relics of the four giants to trigger achievements.

The Deathly Hallows are clearly a concept from a fairy tale, and in reality, they have nothing to do with the Grim Reaper.

Even this invisibility cloak can trigger a collection achievement...

Then why didn't Voldemort's seven Horcruxes work?

Is Voldemort really that lacking in prestige?

Dylan silently criticized the interface in his mind.

He casually crumpled the invisibility cloak, stuffed it into his pocket, and turned to go back to his dormitory.

At this time, Harry and the others were studying in the common room.

A large group of people sat around a table, clutching thick books, their heads bowed, their brows furrowed, clearly hoping that what they were seeing would appear on tomorrow's exam.

Upon seeing Dylan return, Harry immediately closed his book and followed him.

—After all, Dylan said before he left that he would bring his invisibility cloak back.

"Here, here you go."

Dylan took a cloak out of his pocket and handed it to Harry.

"Thank you so much, Dylan!"

Harry accepted the cloak, his face full of gratitude.

After returning the Invisibility Cloak to Harry.

Dylan returned to his bed, drew the curtains, and began to check the information about the new achievements on the interface.

------

[Achievement]: Cloak of Death!
[Description]: You have discovered the Cloak of Invisibility in the Deathly Hallows! Legend has it that whoever collects all three Deathly Hallows can become the master of death, but legends are just legends.

—But is this really just a legend?
[Requirement to unlock]: Discover and fully master the Cloak of Invisibility from the Deathly Hallows (1/1)

[Achievement Reward]: Invisibility Cloak
------

Dylan sat on the bed, staring at the text on the interface for a long time. He raised his hand and scratched his head, his mind full of doubts.

That's it?

He originally thought the reward for this achievement would be a useful skill like a max-level Illusion Spell.

When I saw the achievement description, my heart skipped a beat.

Does this mean he's really going to create a third of the power of death for himself?

You can see the reward details...

Dylan was stunned again.

That's it?
These days, even false advertising takes time to process?
However, putting aside the seemingly false advertising, Dylan thinks about it carefully and the reward doesn't seem so bad.

Everything produced by Interface has never been defective.

Just like his briefcase.

It has now become his most effective spatial world.

So to say.

Is this invisibility cloak most likely the same as Harry's?

From this perspective, it's actually better than a max-level Illusion Spell.

Although he basically doesn't need it.

But that didn't stop him from collecting it and analyzing the mysterious substance on the cloak.

With that in mind, Dylan chose to claim the reward.

The next second, a hooded cloak appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This cloak looks a little different from Harry's.

Harry's shirt was completely hidden from view on the outside, but the inside was a patterned linen color.

And this thing in his hand...

Both sides are pure black.

That's right, both sides are completely black.

This doesn't look like it can become invisible at all.
This is just an ordinary cloak!
Dylan examined the cloak from all angles, wondering what was going on in his mind.

Perhaps this is an upgrade to the Invisibility Cloak in the interface?

Harry's invisibility cloak makes it easy for the wearer to bump into things because they can't see themselves while invisible.

This cloak at least prevents him from seeing himself, which is an advantage. Dylan put on the cloak and looked down.

He was still the same person, except that he was now wearing a black cloak.

Ah this...

Dylan leaned back against the bed, hesitating whether to lift the curtain and ask Harry outside if he could see him.

But what if Harry can see...

Using the phrase "forget everything" on him right before the exam seems a bit inappropriate.

Just as Dylan was about to consult a fortune teller to see what would happen, a fluffy tail suddenly swished past him without warning.

"Coal briquette, don't move..."

Dylan stopped mid-sentence.

He turned his head, wanting to speak to the coal ball.

But he discovered that part of his arm was overlapping with that of Coal Ball, who had somehow sneaked into the curtains and jumped onto the bed!
What's happening here? !

Dylan abruptly pulled his hand back, so fast that it created a gust of wind.

He clenched his fist tightly, the real touch from his palm telling him that his hand was perfectly fine, with nothing wrong with it.

That scene was too bizarre.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart felt as if it had been squeezed by an invisible hand, causing it to clench sharply.

My mind exploded instantly.

Countless thoughts surged forth like a tangled mess.

There was doubt, surprise, and a hint of unbelievable curiosity.

A few seconds later, his gaze settled on the cloak he had just received.

—If there's anything off about me right now, it's this cloak.

He blinked hard, trying to calm himself down.

He then took a deep breath and slowly reached out his hand again, reaching towards the coal briquette.

This time, he moved with extra care, his fingers trembling almost imperceptibly.

His palm landed steadily on the back of the coal ball.

That familiar, fluffy, warm touch came over me, just like always.

I could feel the weight on my back.

Coal Ball lazily raised its head and rubbed its furry head against Dylan's wrist, as if it were being affectionate.

Then he lowered his head, curled his body up even tighter, and continued to doze off there, seemingly oblivious to everything.

Dylan felt the slight rise and fall of the coal ball's breath under his palm, his brows furrowing slightly as he fell into deep thought.

Why could you get through just now, but not now?

What are the differences between these two attempts?
He thought about it carefully.

When he first reached out, he didn't know where the coal was hiding; his attention was entirely on the mattress.

This time, he knew perfectly well that the coal briquettes were right under his nose...

Could this be the problem?

Is it the influence of cognition, or rather, subjective will?

As soon as the idea popped into his head, he decided to give it another try.

He concentrated and silently repeated in his mind, "I can get through."

Then slowly press your hand down.

Just then, his subordinates suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

His hand passed through the coal ball's body without any resistance and landed directly on the mattress.

He could even feel the firmness of the springs inside the mattress with his fingertips.

it is as expected!
Dylan's eyes lit up.

The first time he was able to pass through the coal briquettes and touch the bed was because he subconsciously felt that the only thing there was a bed.

It would be strange if they couldn't get through.

In his mind, the undiscovered coal lumps were equivalent to "not existing".

That's why it can penetrate directly.

He knew perfectly well that the coal was there and that he couldn't get through, so he really couldn't get through.

Now, he is actively thinking about "being able to get through".

It can even easily pass through a mattress!

To verify his hypothesis, Dylan conducted several more tests.

He first tried to pass his palm through his body.

No matter how hard he tried to concentrate, his palm seemed to hit an invisible wall and remained completely still.

It seems that one's self-perception is deeply ingrained and cannot be easily changed.

Then, he used magic to lift his body up slowly and crash into the top of the four-poster bed.

The anticipated obstacles did not materialize.

His body passed through the ceiling of the bed as easily as if it were passing through a thin mist.

He floated around the dormitory for a while, looking down he could see the bedding on the bed and the suitcase in the corner.

You can even see the tip of the coal ball dangling by the bedside.

Then, he controlled his body to slowly fall down and sit back on the bed.

Now it's confirmed that this invisibility cloak has the ability to eliminate physical collisions!
Just like the Dementors and the power of soot sprites!
Once he understood this, Dylan immediately believed that the cloak could make people invisible.

If physical collisions can be eliminated, what can't invisibility do?
He then tried the divination test several more times.

The cloak was summoned using a spell, but it remained completely still.

Cast a few ordinary defensive or offensive spells on the cloak.

The spell landed on it, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, causing no damage whatsoever.

However, the cloak seemed to offer little resistance to powerful, lethal spells.

As he attempted to use the Divine Edge Without Shadow, the spell easily sliced ​​off a corner of the cloak.

The killing curse struck it, blasting that small piece of cloth into a pile of fragments.

However, what surprised Dylan the most was its ability to hide.

He took out a blank piece of parchment and tapped it lightly with his wand.

The surrounding buildings centered on him instantly appeared on the parchment, along with small dots representing his name.

But the very center where he should have been was completely empty, without a trace.

Dylan's lips unconsciously curled upwards, a knowing smile flashing in his eyes.

Dylan put down the parchment in his hand and gently ran his fingertips along the smooth edge of the paper.

The invisibility cloak's ability to eliminate physical collisions was indeed novel and interesting, but that was all it did.

Through the previous divination tests, he already knew that this ability was completely ineffective in preventing people from escaping the spell's attack.

—Unless the spell simply manipulates objects to cause physical impacts.

Otherwise, it is powerless against any spells that involve energy impact or directly affect the human body.

As for its ability to defend against curses, no matter how strong it is, it cannot even withstand the Unforgivable Curse.

This meant that it was far inferior to its own Ironclad Spell, which had already been cultivated to the maximum level, in this respect.

The Ironclad Curse cannot completely protect against the damage from the Unforgivable Curse.

But at least it can serve as a significant buffer, giving oneself a chance to survive.

When faced with those domineering dark magic spells, this cloak is almost no different from an ordinary piece of cloth.

Only this ability to conceal is truly the core and most important ability of an invisibility cloak.

It's important to know that even Harry's long-standing Invisibility Cloak...

Even the same kind of detection magic as the Marauder's Map would be completely exposed.

The wearer's location will be clearly marked.
