Lycos was stunned for a moment, feeling that this statement was very new, and Voldemort definitely had not said it in Quirrell's office.

He opened his eyes curiously.

"Susu...susu..."

First, the sound of leaves rustling in the wind reached my ears.

Then what came into view was a sea of ​​green... Before my eyes was a vast expanse of primeval forest, with the sounds of cicadas and birds chirping incessantly, and the unique humid air in the forest smelled very pleasant.

"This is..." Lycos was stunned.

Before he could process what he was seeing, he suddenly felt his lips opening and closing uncontrollably, uttering a few words.

"Ah, so you want to learn magic..." The hoarse voice came again from the side.

Lycos turned his head subconsciously and saw a skinny wolf.

This wolf had a terrifying tumor on the side of its neck, with three cracks splitting into a scribbled human face...

"Then I have to take a look at your qualifications first. Only those with extraordinary talents have the opportunity to become wizards."

The hoarse sound came from the tumor on the wolf's neck.

……

Chapter 10 Memories of the Past

"Little guy, I didn't expect you to be a wizard." The tumor on the side of the wolf's neck made a hoarse sound.

"But if you want to learn magic, you'll need a wand... It's not difficult. Many wizards have died in this forest. It depends on whether you can survive and find their relics."

……

The scene in front of Lycos suddenly froze.

Then, the wild wolf suddenly disappeared, and the dense leaves began to fall and change color rapidly. Yellow leaves were flying all over the sky, and the ground was covered with a sparse, loose carpet.

"Lex, your magical talent is better than I thought."

It was the same hoarse voice, but I don’t know if it was an illusion, but this voice seemed to have more confidence than before.

Lycos turned his head and then froze for a moment.

The wild wolf with the tumor just now disappeared, and was replaced by a huge black bear.

There was a patch of bald fur on the black bear's belly, and like the previous tumor, it also had three cracks, like a sloppy face.

The next moment, the face suddenly opened up two slits on the top, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes.

"In that case, it's better not to learn those boring little spells!"

"I think... I should teach you some more powerful magic."

……

The picture froze again, but this time, the seasons in the forest did not change, and the surrounding environment did not change much. It seemed that not much time had passed.

When the yellow leaves suspended in the air began to fall again, Lycos found himself holding a magic wand.

In a trance, he seemed to utter a string of characters——

The next moment, a dazzling green beam of light gushed out from the tip of the wand and shot towards a big tree not far away.

A squirrel poked its head out of a tree hole, its tiny eyes instantly filled with green light...

"Clap."

The squirrel fell into a thick, crisp pile of yellow leaves next to the tree trunk, and was quickly covered by the falling leaves, and there was no movement at all.

……

The picture froze, and the yellow leaves flying in the air turned into drifting snowflakes in an instant.

The big trees around were bare, and the treetops were covered with silvery white snow. When the wind blew occasionally, the snow would shake off and merge with the snow on the ground.

"Haha, hahaha..." A hoarse laughter suddenly came from behind.

Lycos turned around and saw a thick viper that was unusually not hibernating but was wrapped around a tree trunk.

The viper raised its head, revealing the pale yellow scales on its chin to Lycos.

The scales also cracked into three slits, and a pair of eyes and a mouth appeared more lifelike than before.

"Hahahaha..." The face laughed wildly, "You learned a sophisticated black magic in three minutes, Lycos. Your talent for black magic is unique to me."

"Listen, with your talent for dark magic and my guidance, you will definitely become a great dark wizard!"

"Lex, if you just listen to me, I will make you the next Dark Lord!"

……

When the leaves turned green again, the environment in the forest had changed a lot, and it seemed that quite a while had passed.

Lycos stood under the tree and saw a young wizard lying on the ground, covering his head in pain and screaming in fear from time to time.

"Shut up, Quirrell!"

A hoarse voice came.

"From today on, I am your honorable master. If you don't want to die, you'd better face reality."

The wizard gasped and slowly released his hands from covering his head.

Lycos saw that the wizard's hair was falling off rapidly, and soon it became a bald head.

Then, three cracks appeared on the back of his head, and two snake-like nostrils that had never appeared before appeared, turning into a terrifying face.

"Ah... the magic power of an adult wizard. I've been waiting for this moment for eleven years!" The terrifying face laughed heartily.

Even though Lycos was in a dream, he still felt a chill——

If he were not a young wizard whose magic power was still unstable, but an adult wizard, he would have been possessed by Voldemort long ago...

At this moment, Voldemort's scarlet eyes narrowed.

"Wait...Lex, come here."

Lycos felt his feet move, and walked directly behind Quirrell and in front of Voldemort.

"Ah, so your talent isn't limited to the Dark Arts..." He croaked, "I've actually found a natural born Occlumency spellcaster."

An evil smile appeared on Voldemort's hideous face.

"Very good, very good!" His hoarse voice became excited. "In this case, I don't have to worry about Dumbledore discovering your problem..."

"Listen, Lycos, we're leaving for England soon. Quirrell will help you get into an orphanage... and when you receive the acceptance letter sent by owl, you'll be a student at Hogwarts."

As if he suddenly thought of something, he abruptly seized control of Quirrell's body and raised his wand towards Lycos.

"Hold out your left hand, Lycos."

In the dream, Lycos uncontrollably stretched out his left arm in front of Voldemort.

He felt the cool tip of a wand against the inside of his arm.

"I hope this Dark Mark will remind you that you are a Death Eater first and a Hogwarts student second. Do you understand?!"

……

"what--"

Lycos screamed and suddenly woke up from his dream.

The Dark Mark on his left forearm ached faintly, the scene of being branded in the dream still vivid in his mind.

He looked at his left forearm. The bandage covering the Dark Mark was intact, and the bow tied by the little blonde witch named Cassandra was still beautiful and secure.

Lycos let out a long breath.

He was keenly aware that the images in his dreams were likely real events, coming from the body's subconscious memories.

In other words, the predecessor and Voldemort had met in the forest of Albania several years ago, and learned a lot of dark magic under Voldemort's guidance.

That makes sense.

No wonder he was able to cast the complete Killing Curse; it turned out this was muscle memory from his previous incarnation.

Lycos's eyes suddenly lit up.

According to this... he should not only know the Killing Curse, but also many other black magic spells!

He stood up excitedly, thinking of finding a place to try other magic...

At this moment, Draco on the bed opposite sat up drowsily.

"Lex, what time is our first class?"

He raised his expensive watch and took a look. "Hmm, it seems to be eight forty now..."

The next moment, the two looked at each other and suddenly woke up.

"Oh no, we're going to be late!"

……

Chapter 11 Five points deducted from Slytherin!

There are a total of 142 staircases in Hogwarts.

Some of them are wide and big, some are narrow and small, and they are wobbly; not only that, when you climb up some stairs, one of them will suddenly disappear, and if you step on it accidentally, your entire leg will be stuck in the middle of the step.

"No, I can't do it anymore..."

When Draco fell into the trap of the disappearing stairs again, he finally broke down and shouted loudly: "Who on earth had nothing better to do than build the stairs into this state? He must be crazy!"

Lycos glanced at him and skillfully wrote down the twenty-seventh trap step he encountered along the way on a piece of parchment.

"I heard it was built by a Ravenclaw lady," he said casually.

Draco's tone faltered, and he closed his mouth silently.

No matter how arrogant he was as a pure-blood young master, he still maintained the most basic respect for the founder of Hogwarts.

"But... why?" Draco pulled his leg out from between the two steps, still confused. "What on earth was Ravenclaw thinking by leaving the school in this state?"
