Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 303 The potion factory personally run by Borgin, sponsored by Karthus~

During this time, he kept waving his wand, and various spells were shot out one after another, hitting the book accurately.

He deliberately avoided the Fiery Curse and the Killing Curse.

After ordinary attack spells fail.

His curiosity about the book grew stronger.

At this moment, he only wanted to test its defensive limits.

But if those extremely powerful spells are used...

He worried that the book would be completely ruined before he even had a chance to read its contents.

Another period of time passed.

Sirius Black had already cleaned both rooms and came over to call Dylan.

— Kreacher has prepared the meal; it's time to eat.

"Dylan? What are you doing?"

Sirius asked with a puzzled look on his face, noticing a ball of light flickering in front of Dylan, as if it were swirling around something.

Dylan gently turned his wand, and the light in the wand slightly parted.

The book inside, "The Ultimate Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic," was revealed.

The human skin cover was clearly visible, only the blood-red title was not bathed in light.

"Do you know where this book came from? It just called out my name."

This situation was completely beyond Sirius's expectations.

If Dylan's claims are true, then this book is truly extraordinary.

He squinted, carefully examining the corner of "The Ultimate Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" that was partially visible.

I was lost in memories.

"Hmm..." he murmured, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Do you remember now?" Dylan pressed.

"I have no idea."

Sirius shook his head. "I've never been interested in dark magic, so I haven't paid much attention to it, but I might know where the answer lies."

The words have not yet fallen.

Sirius Black has already stepped toward the tallest bookshelf on the left.

He bent down and groped around at the bottom for a moment.

Then he pulled out a thick, old book.

That book looked quite heavy; if it were actually thrown at someone's head, it could probably knock them out on the spot.

The edges of the pages were already frayed from being turned so many times, and the paper had a deep yellow tinge.
When you get close, you can smell a faint scent, like sawdust mixed with a little oil.

“This is the Black Collection Catalogue,” Sirius explained to Dylan, looking up. “Every book in our family’s collection is recorded here.”

"It's all written down clearly: what type it was, when it was received, and how it was obtained."

talking.

He then quickly flipped through the pages with his fingers, the paper rubbing together and making a rustling sound.

The book looked so worn out, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

In addition, Sirius Black's movements when turning pages were not gentle.

Dylan stood to the side, his mind racing with doubts.

I have a feeling that this book will fall apart completely at any moment and turn into a pile of shredded paper.

Take a close look at the contents of that table of contents.

Records about dark magic make up the majority of the book, roughly two-thirds of it.

Of the remaining third, half is about potions.

Some of the content tells the history and legends of the Black family.

Only a few places contain records of books related to transfiguration, ancient runes, and alchemy.

Sirius's finger slid rapidly across the section on dark magic books.

After a while.

Finally, I found the record about "The Ultimate Unveiling of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" among the thick pages.

He stopped turning the pages, cleared his throat, and began to read aloud.

"This book was added to the Black family library in 1463."

“The family patriarch at the time, Arctus Black, bought it back from a Greek smuggler at a high price.”

"It is said that this book was written by the infamous and despicable dark wizard, Helbo, and was later sealed away by Phineas Black..."

Read it to the very end.

Sirius closed the book, turned to Dylan, and said in a serious tone, "This is no good, Dylan, it's dangerous."

"And just like you said before, it had never seen you before, but the first time it saw you, it called out your name."

"In my opinion, it might have the ability to see through people's hearts."

Dylan nodded, but he wasn't scared; he just found it very interesting.

and.

Whenever the name "Despicable Herpo" is mentioned...

It always involves a lot of legendary elements.

He was the first recorded Parseltongue speaker, the first wizard to successfully breed a Basilisk, and the earliest known person to create a Horcrux...

This book, "The Ultimate Unveiling of Cutting-Edge Black Magic," was once sealed away.

But when Dylan examined it carefully, he could not sense any residual aura of the magic seal.

There are perhaps two possibilities behind this.

Firstly, after a long period of time, the magic of the seal had long been exhausted and had dissipated without a trace.

Secondly, something is hidden inside this book, which has broken the magical seal from the inside out.

The reason why the old headmaster of Hogwarts sealed it back then was probably to guard against what was inside.

Dylan was more inclined to believe the second theory.

That was the first thing that came to his mind.

Could this book be Helbo's Horcrux?
But he had personally destroyed Voldemort's Horcruxes and was intimately familiar with their unique aura.

The book before me is not a Horcrux.

There was only a faint and extremely vague fluctuation of consciousness on it, completely lacking the signature dark magic aura of a Horcrux.

"Okay, I understand. I'll pay more attention."

Dylan slowly withdrew the holy light surrounding "The Ultimate Unveiling of Cutting-Edge Black Magic".

He could clearly sense that the magical fluctuations emanating from the book were gradually weakening.

It looks no different from an ordinary book, even like an old Muggle book.

But everything that happened before was not an illusion.

Dylan remained vigilant and did not let his guard down despite his confidence.

He held the wand and slid it back and forth across the book cover.

The magic released by the wand connected ancient runes, their surfaces crackling with dangerous arcs of electricity.

"seal".

"chain".

“Restraint”...

Dylan, following the example of the old headmaster of the Black family, temporarily sealed the book.

"Be very careful, don't be too reckless."

Sirius spoke to Dylan from the side, but did not interfere further.

In his opinion.

Dylan was very different from the other young wizards.

Not only is she very opinionated, but she is also wise and calm.

You can hardly see the impulsiveness and recklessness that are common at this age.

More importantly, this little wizard is quite shrewd; he can lie without batting an eye.

The Wissengamo Conference.

That tricky question from Amelie Bones.

Sirius Black had no idea how to respond.

If he were alone, Animagus's secret would probably have been exposed long ago.

But by following the story Dylan taught them, they actually managed to get away with it.

That was before the trial, or rather, on that night at Hogwarts, after Dylan learned everything, he mentioned it to him.

Sirius sighed inwardly.

perhaps.

This is the difference between myself and Dumbledore, and Dylan.

Dylan was completely unaware of Sirius's inner thoughts. If he could hear them, he would only think that Sirius was being too one-sided in his assessment of him.

After all, he possesses more than just the traits that are visible; he also has a kind heart (and exploitative methods) and a generous (and stingy) nature.

Although Sirius will see these things soon.

Given his simple and straightforward mindset, he probably wouldn't think too deeply about this aspect.

After enjoying a fairly substantial meal at Sirius's place, Dylan didn't stay any longer.

As for Slytherin's locket, he didn't plan to touch it for the time being.

That thing doesn't have legs, so it can't run away on its own. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry at all.

After a brief farewell to Sirius, Dylan turned and left.

back home.

Unsurprisingly, both parents have passed away.

It didn't die; it just went out to play again.

They probably haven't returned yet.

Dylan didn't care.

He already knew about this.

Before his vacation, Mr. Hubert wrote him a letter explaining that he and his sweetheart were vacationing on an island and might not be able to get there in time.

But they will be back as soon as possible.

But now it seems
Dylan shrugged.

the next day.

The sunlight was exceptionally bright, and golden rays bathed the entire area.

Dylan's mood brightened as well.

He sat down at the table and began to think about his development plan.

Improving his personal skills is not a problem for him.

What we need to worry about most right now is the development of capital.

Currently, his father has earned him a considerable amount of money.

However, it's not as quick as earning Galleons directly.

Meanwhile, Delfini's looting of assets was actually quite slow.

He had already developed a new potion formula and given it to Delphine and the others.

Now, the normal initial construction phase has basically been completed.

In fact, he already possessed considerable wealth to back him up.

He can smoothly navigate the initial stage of capital accumulation.

It's time to switch back to the model that exploits workers.

Of course, it's still necessary to appropriately increase the wages or stock options for workers and subordinates.

This will likely greatly improve their work enthusiasm.

This will greatly benefit the long-term development of my factory.

Once he made up his mind, Dylan immediately took action.

After washing up, he went straight to Flipping Alley.

Of course, the potion factory wasn't built there.

But Bogin is in Knockdown Lane, and Delfini might be there too.

He can find the person more quickly by going directly there.

The figure disappeared.

Dylan has come a long way without being stopped by anyone.

Arrived at Bojin Store.

Bokin was talking to Delfini at the time; there was no one else in the shop.

He walked straight in.

The wind chimes rang at just the right moment.

Bokin immediately turned to look at the gate.

But they didn't see a single person.

He narrowed his eyes and tentatively asked, "Are you an adult?"

Dylan made an appearance.

Dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, he stood tall and exuded an extraordinary aura.

Upon seeing him, Bokin immediately became respectful.

Delfini even stood up abruptly.

"grown ups!"

Her eyes were bright and her white breasts were large. When she saw Dylan, both of her white breasts trembled slightly. She hurriedly ran to stand in front of Dylan.

"I haven't seen you in so long! I miss you so much."

Dylan's voice was low, and he only glanced at Delfini.

"I am researching true immortality, which requires an infinite amount of time."

Delphine nodded immediately: "I know, I have been following your orders, not only plundering many dark wizards, but also building the potion factory you need."

Dylan narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Very good, you did a great job, Delfini."

Delfini blushed slightly upon receiving the praise.

At this moment, Borgin also stepped forward: "Lord Karthus, what brings you here today?"

"Of course I came to check on your situation."

Dylan looked directly at Bokin and said, "You and Delfini have both worked hard."

"No, no, no, it's not hard work at all, it's just what we should do."

Bogin quickly waved his hand, then, as if remembering something, added, "Oh, right, sir, a new person has arrived at the potions factory. I heard he came from Hogwarts and was a professor there before."

"Oh?"

Dylan raised an eyebrow.

He had entrusted the management of the potion factory entirely to Bogin and his team.

However, a considerable amount of money was invested.

He hasn't even been to the factory yet.

However, hearing him say that piqued his interest.

"who is it?"

"His name is Lupin. He's skilled, but he's too poor. I couldn't squeeze much Galleon from him to give to you."

Beneath the mask, Dylan's lips twitched.

Lupin?

Why did he end up looking for a job at the potion factory?

In a sense, she was applying for a job under his supervision.
Dylan nodded.

"There's no need to exploit the other dark wizards anymore. Those guys are just a bunch of paupers."

Dylan stared at Bogin and said, "Now that the potions factory is on track, run it well and make it a legitimate business. Don't let those guys from the Ministry of Magic come after you, you understand?"

Bokin nodded immediately: "I understand, sir."

"I only want half of the profits from the potion factory. You and Delphine will split the rest. From this moment on, there is no need to rob dark wizards anymore. Focus your energy on the production and sale of potions."

Dylan instructed him that he no longer cared about the small amount of money those dark wizards had.

"This potion is something I've spent a lot of time researching, don't let me down."

“Yes, sir. I swear I will spread your potions throughout the magical world.” Borgin bowed his head.

Initially, his impression of Karthus was that he was terrifying, audacious, and lawless.

But recently, he has begun to vaguely sense the opponent's true strength.

Not just in terms of magic.

The same applies to doing business.

From a small-scale operation selling octopus venom to a potion factory.

He has already reaped considerable profits from it.

And the other party never asked any questions.

In other words, he has a lot of room to maneuver within it.

Of course, he wouldn't go too far.

Because he knew that his life was always in the other party's hands.

In some cases, if the other party is unhappy, they can rob him of all his money.

Bogin even felt that the other side could infiltrate Gringotts silently.
