Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

"We must hurry up."

Avada took a deep breath, letting the cold air soak into her entire mind, and her thinking became calm and clear again. Then he took steps towards Hogwarts Castle...

"Um?"

He suddenly stopped, squinted his eyes, and saw a vague figure running out of the castle in the distance, quickly approaching his location, while still waving to him - it was Baron. .

What is he here for?

Avada wondered as she quickened her pace and jogged two steps, and soon reached a distance where she could hear each other's voices clearly.

"Why are you back?" he asked first.

"Let's confirm something."

Balon took two breaths and patted the snow that had just splashed on the corners of his clothes before replying: "It's best not to involve Harry and the others in this matter. It's a bit dangerous for them, and I remember They were still busy with the Polyjuice Potion. So I went back to the castle to say goodbye to them before I came back - I just discovered a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"During the previous conversation, Hermione mentioned 'Colin's matter' and reminded her to carry an early warning device with her, which made me a little curious. So when we went back together just now, I asked and found out what happened... …”

"Oh, I know about it, Harry just told me about it this morning."

Avada nodded to show that she knew, and waited for Baron to continue.

"Have you heard that?"

Baron raised his eyebrows: "Colin Creevey was attacked yesterday, and you were only assassinated by the Basilisk today. There was nothing unusual yesterday, right?"

"That's right."

"Harry was by Colin's side when he was attacked, and the two of them hid in the classroom for ten minutes before they survived. So based on your guess, can we think that the target of the basilisk's attack yesterday was not Colin? Lin Creevey, but Harry next to him?"

Avada's pupils shrank.

"After generating this suspicion, I did not explain it directly to Harry and the others for the time being. Instead, I asked Harry about his schedule today. According to him, he went to many places today, including eating in the kitchen, going to the Room of Requirement to check for potions, Stopping in the corridors to chat with other people...and apart from following Hermione Granger on the way to the Room of Requirement, there was never a Muggleborn with an early warning device around."

"Then the question is - if Harry was really the target of the basilisk, why didn't it choose to attack when Harry was at his most relaxed?"

"And if Harry is not the target of the basilisk, then does it want to kill you to avenge Voldemort?"

"..."

Avada pondered for a while and then shook her head: "It's hard to say, maybe the Basilisk doesn't want to kill Harry, but it just can't?"

"Don't forget, Harry wears glasses, which means that it is almost impossible for the basilisk to kill him directly with its gaze. And he has also announced his ability to hear the basilisk's voice, so theoretically he is our Of the three, he is the most difficult person to be targeted by the Basilisk."

"I've thought about this too."

Balon nodded: "But if the murderer is really determined to kill Harry, there is no way out. For example, he can find a way to silence the basilisk, or petrify him first, and then find a way to kill him after he enters the hospital. Kill him...the possibility remains that Harry was not the target."

"so what?"

Avada scratched her head in confusion. It was hard to imagine that Baron came back to find her just to come up with such a vague speculation that could not be confirmed or falsified...

"You can identify who the basilisk is looking at, right?"

Baron's eyes became serious: "I want to confirm with you what the purpose of the basilisk is."

"The two of us can hang out in the castle together to lure the basilisk out, and then you can judge who it is looking at - if it really wants to avenge Voldemort as you said, then both of us should be on the kill list. Go up; and if you are still the only one being watched... I'm afraid you have to find the reason yourself."

"That's too dangerous..."

"I can use magic to seal my vision, and you can use your spiritual link to guide me. In this way, there will be absolutely no problem on the surface, and I can avoid accidentally looking into the eyes of the basilisk."

"……good."

Avada hesitated and finally nodded slowly. Then he took out the basilisk early warning device on his body and used his wand to disable the alarm magic on it. Then Baron followed suit and turned off the early warning device, and looked at Avada: "Let's go."

"Um."

After the two returned to the gate of the castle and climbed up the stairs, Balon took out his wand and pointed at his eyes and softly recited a spell - it should be a less powerful blindness curse. Balon already needed it when he put away his wand. First, feel where your pocket is.

[I opened the door, just go in. 】

Avada's spiritual link connected the minds of the two people again, allowing them to communicate directly in their minds: [Turn a little to the left, turn a little more...Stop, okay, feel free to move forward, there is no obstacle in front of you. 】

[There is a corner ahead, take three steps and turn left... Okay. 】

[We have to talk about something, we can’t just talk in the spiritual link, otherwise it may arouse vigilance...]

About five minutes after entering the castle, Avada once again observed the basilisk's life force appearing around the two of them, and followed them like a shadow. That fatal gaze was always firmly cast on Avada...

[The basilisk is coming, be careful. Is your blindness curse okay? 】

[Don't worry, no problem... Who is it targeting now? 】

[It’s me now, let’s observe again…]

The two of them forced themselves to calm down and continued to chat as if nothing had happened. They wandered around the castle like this for nearly twenty minutes.

The basilisk's eyes always stayed firmly on Avada, showing no reaction to Balon.

【...That's it. 】

Even in the spiritual link, Avada's voice was quite confused: [The basilisk is always staring at me. My previous guess was wrong. There is no point in continuing the test now. Let’s separate for now. I have to think about what is going on...]

[Okay, be safe, I'll look through the Basilisk information again. 】

…

After Balon carefully lifted the blindness curse and separated from him, Avada also returned to the Hufflepuff common room in confusion, thinking desperately about how she provoked the Horcrux diary and the basilisk. Already...

'The only one the basilisk wants to kill is me. It has no reaction to Harry and Balon. It shouldn't be for Voldemort...but why else? ’

'Under the influence of Lucius, all enemies, including the Horcrux Diary, should think that I am a descendant of a certain great wizard. Theoretically, the Basilisk shouldn't even attack me, but now it wants to It's going to kill me...'

'There must be some other reason, some other reason...'

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Avada's mind, causing him to stop walking towards the dormitory. He stood there blankly, and his breathing gradually became rapid...

'Could it be that... no, calm down and think about it carefully...'

‘…Yes, that’s right! That's it! That must be it! ! ’

‘All the clues are connected! ! ’

He pushed open the dormitory door and rushed in. He took a deep breath and then laughed uncontrollably: "In that case, things will be easier to handle!"

"Tom, Basilisk, Lucius...are you ready?!"

With that said, he took out his wand and cast the End of the World Curse to send himself into the space mezzanine. He quickly found Baron and threw out a note again:

[Call Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George and meet at the Room of Requirement at eight o'clock tonight! I found the answer! 】
