Chapter 308 Ravenclaw Is Not a College for Nerds

In the elegant room simulated by the Room of Requirement, smooth marble reflects pure white light.

A copper crucible was placed on the long-lasting charcoal fire. Inside the crucible, large bubbles continued to emerge from the strange purple-green viscous medicine. After expanding to the tension limit of the viscous liquid, it burst with a "pop" sound. Then the next bubble, and repeat.

When Loren added the Rafflesia flower extract into the crucible, a gray-green smoke visible to the naked eye rose up. Loren quickly enlarged the bubble spell that wrapped his head, and an invisible transparent air film enveloped his whole body.

Gudu Gudu...

Loren looked at the slightly boiling crucible, and once again had the idea of ​​removing the bubble spell and smelling it for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally gave up. After all, a smart little wizard would not fall into the same pit twice.

The stirring spoon with automatic stirring function rotates at a constant speed. After stirring evenly, it will take a certain reaction time for the liquid in the crucible to reach a stable state.

Nothing happened during the waiting period. Taking advantage of this gap, Loren took out the soul-stirring stone again and looked at it.

The smooth black pebbles have grown in size again, and are shaped somewhat like smooth black pebbles, almost non-reflective.

From the perspective of magic vision, the black and gray evil magic power of the dementors is still scattered with scattered green and green broken lights, which are the remnant soul of Peter Pettigrew, and the number is much reduced compared to a few days ago.

Absorbing souls seems to be a long-term process. Just like human digestion, dementors' digestion also takes time.

"[Calling God to Guard]"

A flash of silvery white light lit up at the tip of the wand, and then slowly approached the soul-stirring stone under the guidance of Loren.

Zhi——

An obvious scratch instantly appeared where the soul-stirring stone was rubbed by the silver light, like a red-hot iron falling on the snow, without any hindrance.

After restraining his patron saint light, Loren looked at the soul-absorbing stone, thoughtfully: "Other than getting a little bigger, there seems to be no change after absorbing the soul magic power."

Besides dementors and horcruxes, is there any other way to tap into the magic within the soul?

Looking at the potion gradually stabilizing in the crucible, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Loren's mind——

The unforgivable curse!

…

That night, Loren went to bed early, and his consciousness entered the fantasy book.

If you can't figure out the direction yourself and fumble around, it's better to ask an old wizard for advice. Even though Flamel had been fooled by the issue of soul traits last time, Loren still wanted to try again.

"...The magic power of the soul seems to contain extremely powerful power, so I wonder if there is any magic that can make unlimited use of the magic power of the soul...

"The Unforgivable Curse seems to have such characteristics. Whether it is the Cruciatus Curse, the Soul-Impering Curse or the Killing Curse, it all directly affects the soul. But this is a curse on other people's souls. I want to know if there are any spells that can discover the magic power of the soul. ?”

After Loren finished speaking, he looked up at the illusory figure floating in the air.

Flamel looked at the little man below, his mind gradually drifting away...

I thought that even with Loren's talent, it would be decades before he came into contact with this field. Unexpectedly, Loren was inspired by the unexpected soul-stealing stone.

Being able to associate the protective spell with the magic power of the soul, and being able to extend the protective spell to traits... What an amazing talent.

It's just that soul and characteristics... these things are not what a teenage child should study. He doesn't know what love is, he doesn't know what courage and wisdom are... he doesn't have enough experience and soul toughness to support him, so he can open the soul realm in advance. The exploration is just in vain.

"Hmm..." Flamel frowned, pretending to think. After a few minutes, he raised his head and said seriously, "There seems to be no relevant research in Nico's memory about the magic power of dementors. As for Unforgivable The curse does indeed act on the soul, inflicting pain, control and killing on the soul..."

He rambled on and on about a lot of information in the book, seeming to have said everything, but also seeming to have said nothing.

"..."

Loren looked at Flamel expressionlessly and remained silent for a moment, "Is there more?"

Flamel continued unhurriedly: "The origins of the three unforgivable curses are no longer known, but in some unfounded ancient books, it is recorded that the three Peverell brothers created three kinds of curses respectively."

Loren raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Peverell, the three Deathly Hallows brothers?"

"Yes." Flamel stated in detail, "The boss, Antioch Peverell, controls the most powerful Elder Wand. He uses elder wood as the staff and the Thestral tail feathers as the core. In order to show his power, Magic has conquered Death, and he has created the unforgivable Killing Curse.

“The second oldest, Cadmus Peverell, used the Resurrection Stone to recall his long-dead lover, and was inspired by his wife’s painful soul to create the Cruciatus Curse.

"The third child, Ignotus Peverell, is the owner of the Invisibility Cloak. He is wise and humble, and always avoids direct conflicts with others. The Imperius Curse is his masterpiece."

This was the first time Loren heard this statement. He asked curiously: "Can you confirm it?"

"No, it's just folklore." Flamel answered quickly.

"..." Loren finally understood. He was just fooling himself. He resisted the urge to quit the book of fantasy and simply asked, "I want to learn."

"No." Flamel answered more simply.

Loren took a few deep breaths and asked, "What about traits? Do you have anything to say?"

Flamel blinked: "What trait?"

call out--

Loren's consciousness instantly exited the book of fantasy, leaving no trace.

"Tsk, young man..." Flamel shook his head with a smile.

…

Tuesday, Charms classroom.

"I have finished reviewing all the magic spells learned in the first grade. Don't underestimate these basic magic spells. As I said, any magic spell has unexpected potential. I hope everyone will practice diligently and there will be no paper assignment in this class. That's it." Professor Flitwick stood on the high stool and said while packing up the books, "Okay, kids, that's the end of today's lesson."

"Great!"

"Long live Professor Flitwick!"

The little wizards cheered, packed up their books and left happily together.

Hermione closed the first-grade textbook and pushed it on Loren's desk, jumped off the stool neatly, and said in a fast voice: "I will go to Muggle Studies first, and when I travel back, I will go directly to Hagrid to wait for you, protect the magic." See you on the animals!”

After saying that, he ran out of the classroom like a gust of wind. Loren had no time to answer. He only saw the girl's fluffy brown hair bouncing away, gradually moving away.

Harry pulled Ron up from behind and leaned against the desk next to Loren. Harry also noticed Hermione's back, looked away, and asked with some confusion: "It's still early for Hagrid's class, why is Hermione so anxious? Go to the bathroom? Should we wait for her here?"

"Does she still have a degree in Muggle Studies?" Ron asked thoughtfully.

"Don't guess, she can't be in two places at the same time." Loren put his and Hermione's textbooks into his schoolbag and zipped it up, "Don't wait for me, you go to Hagrid first, I have some I would like to ask Professor Flitwick about the curse."

"Oh ~ the problem with the curse ~"

"Ask Professor Flitwick~"

Harry and Ron repeated what Loren said together, imitating George and Fred's teasing tone, exuding the aura of scumbags.

Smiling, Harry noticed something was wrong: "Aren't you going to review the content of the first grade today? You are Loren Morgan. I'm afraid you have finished studying before the sorting. Why do you still need to ask for advice?"

Hearing this, Ron also looked at him with wide eyes.

"Other spells." Loren stood up, pressed their shoulders and pushed them out of the classroom, "Don't ask any more questions, go check out Hagrid's new teaching content when you have time, and help him check it, so that you don't become a teacher again. Draco is following."

Thinking back to that Potions lesson, Harry shivered with a chill.

Ron gloated and laughed: "Look on the bright side, at least your potions grade in that class was O, right?"

"Shut up!" Harry said nothing and dragged Ron out quickly.

All the little wizards gradually left, leaving only Loren, who was deliberately rubbing them, and Professor Flitwick on the stage was slowly arranging the lesson plan in an orderly manner.

"Oh, Loren," Professor Flitwick looked up and found that he was still there, and said with a smile, "Quickly walk, be careful not to be late for the next class."

Having had the teaching experience of Apparition, the two of them were far more familiar with each other than ordinary teachers and students.

"There should be plenty of time for Care of Magical Creatures." Loren walked a few steps to the front of the stage, thinking about how to speak so as not to arouse Professor Flitwick's surprise.

Professor Flitwick took advantage of his vacation to change his look. His originally messy gray beard was shaved clean, and his hair was dyed black and combed neatly.

The current look looks serious and serious, while the original looks amiable. If there is a comparison, Loren prefers Professor Flitwick's previous look.

Professor Flitwick lowered his head and packed up his books. He looked up and found that he had not left yet. He was a little surprised: "Do you have any questions about today's teaching content?"

"Sir, I want to ask about...the Unforgivable Curse." Loren hesitated when he spoke.

It was not normal for a third-year wizard to ask about forbidden black magic, and even Flamel rejected him.

"The Unforgivable Curse..." Professor Flitwick paused in packing his things, raised his head and looked at Loren with a strange look, "It's a Defense Against the Dark Arts subject, right?"

Professor Flitwick's answer was much calmer than Loren thought, which gave him some hope. Defense Against the Dark Arts was indeed a good excuse, but he didn't want to deceive the kind professor like that.

"In fact, I accidentally discovered that the soul seems to contain powerful magic... I learned that the Unforgivable Curse is a rare curse that directly affects the soul, so I wanted to study it." Loren said in detail. My own thoughts, although I conceal them in some places.

"The magic of the soul...the magic of the soul." Professor Flitwick muttered in a low voice, once again worried about the young wizard's outstanding talent. He thought for a while before slowly speaking, "There is no doubt that Loren, you are on the path of magic. You are making rapid progress. However, at your current age, it is still too early to be exposed to the Unforgivable Curse."

"And it's too early for you to want to explore the mysteries of the soul. But -" before Loren could show his disappointment, Professor Flitwick smiled, "I encourage you to try."

Loren looked happy.

"If you are studying the relationship between magic and soul, I think you have overlooked a more practical method."

"what way?"

"dark magic."

"Black magic!?" Loren raised his voice slightly, and it was unbelievable to hear these words coming from the professor's mouth.

Seeing the increasingly obvious surprise on Loren's face, Professor Flitwick smiled: "Don't be so surprised, Loren, I am the Head of Ravenclaw. Compared to the other three founders, Ravenclaw is more Reasonable and more neutral.

"Unlike Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, who are clearly opposed to dark magic, and different from Slytherin, who is clearly supportive of dark magic, Ms. Ravenclaw's attitude towards dark magic is no different from her attitude towards other magic... …”

In the empty Charms classroom, the mixed-blood elf wizard spoke in detail about black magic:

"During the casting process, black magic will have a weak impact on the soul of the caster. This impact on yourself is more convenient for you to perceive...

"I heard that you have mastered the Patronus Charm, so I recommend this method to you. The Patronus Charm can eliminate the effects of dark magic." At this point, Professor Flitwick blinked like Dumbledore. Eyes, "When I was your age, I had already mastered several powerful black magics."

Loren's face looked a little strange, and he remembered the experience of this half-elf professor.

Because of his unusual appearance, Flitwick was always bullied when he was in school...

It can be seen from Snape's experience with the Marauders group that early bullying in Hogwarts was basically equivalent to bullying. However, this professor was not like Myrtle who would let others bully him. He fought all the way and later grew into a duel champion.

Being amiable and approachable is a character I developed after working as a professor for decades.

It is said that Slytherin produces dark wizards, but there are also many wizards who go to Azkaban to study after graduating from Ravenclaw. Quirrell, Rita, Lockhart and others are all from Ravenclaw.

This is really not a simple college for nerds.

"But professor...that's not what you said when I learned to disapparate." Loren whispered.

Professor Flitwick was silent for a moment: "I object to young wizards being exposed to extremely dangerous spells such as Apparition and Fire...and some simple black magic does not fall into this category."

…

"So Professor, can you teach me the dark arts?"

"Bring me Principal Dumbledore's approval note."
