Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

After moving between elevators for nearly five minutes, Dumbledore and Avada finally arrived in a luxuriously decorated room. A thin man in black wizard robes was standing in the center of the room. As soon as he saw Dumbledore come in, he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, Professor Dumbledore! I am the Silent Man of the Department of Mysteries. You may call me Crocker."

"Hello, Mr. Crocker."

Dumbledore responded calmly: "I'm sorry to disturb your work, but I do have something important to confirm when I come here this time. During some of my investigations, I clearly found traces of the Department of Mysteries."

He patted Avada on the back and motioned for him to take two steps forward: "Do you know what this boy's name is?" "

Crocker shook his head in confusion.

"He called," Dumbledore paused, and then said as slowly as possible: "Avada Kendavia."

When Crocker heard the first three words, he was so frightened that he almost pulled out his wand. When he realized that things were not what he imagined, his expression turned strange.

"Avada Kendavia? Is he an abandoned orphan? He actually has magical talent?"

"Merlin's beard, what a slim chance this is! Or is it because of the name?"

"It seems that you really know."

Dumbledore's face was very calm, showing no emotion or anger at all: "Then, please explain it to me and this child whose future is about to be full of trouble."

Crocker was stunned for a moment. He was about to ask something, but then he showed a look of surprise, and then his expression became very exciting.

"Things... things are like this."

Crocker spoke awkwardly, not daring to look directly at Dumbledore and Avada: "The name comes from a research conducted eleven years ago."

"At a time when the activities of the mysterious man and his Death Eaters were becoming more and more rampant, as a member of the Ministry of Magic, we in the Department of Mysteries also played our role and worked hard to provide Aurors and strikers with more powerful equipment. , and various tricks used to try to decipher the mysterious person.”

"And after long-term research, the team I am responsible for has successfully cracked the mysterious man's 'name curse', which is the magic that once his name is called out, he will be known immediately."

"Oh?" Dumbledore asked in surprise: "You actually broke that spell? Do you have a way to counter it?"

"Unfortunately, no."

Crocker's face became even more embarrassed: "That magic is very complicated and difficult to cast. After we crack the spell, let alone counterattack, we can't even make slight changes."

"However, we had this idea at that time: Can we take advantage of the characteristics of this magic and use it to detect the Unforgivable Curse and other black magic?"

Avada's face trembled - he probably guessed what was going on.

"According to the characteristics of this magic, the object that can be cast must be a 'name'. So we found an abandoned baby in the Muggle world, sent him to the orphanage to register, and used the killing curse to The spell 'Avada Kedavra' named him."

"Next, we imposed a 'name curse' on the child. In our conception, everyone who releases the killing curse will be locked in position by us at the moment of chanting the curse, and there will be no escape!"

"So did you succeed?"

Dumbledore's eyes twitched. He felt that he had been speechless more times in the past ten years than he did today.

"As you can see, no." Crocker simply put it aside and stopped being embarrassed, and continued in one breath: "The spell seems to have special properties and cannot be used as a general name. And if we succeed , will do the same for all black magic spells, and have already captured all the dark wizards in the UK in the past ten years!"

"Have you never thought about how a person can live with such a name?"

"We didn't expect that a randomly selected Muggle abandoned baby would have magical talent..." Crocker replied with a sad face: "Who in the Muggle world knows the meaning of this spell? He can definitely live a normal life in the Muggle world. !”

Dumbledore sighed helplessly, knowing in his heart that the Department of Mysteries couldn't be entirely blamed for this matter. Why is fate so mysterious and unpredictable...

"Then, let's ask the parties for their opinions."

Dumbledore turned to look at Avada: "As you heard, your name is an extremely evil magic spell in the wizarding world. This may bring you countless troubles: being ostracized by your classmates, looking for If you don’t get a job, you’ll even be alienated by everyone in the magical society... There’s no point in changing your name. A person’s first name has a special magical meaning and cannot be separated from it. Only your real name will be displayed in the admission book.”

"The Department of Mysteries in front of you is the one who caused all this, but this was not their original intention. And if they could succeed, they should be able to make an extremely huge contribution to the entire magical world."

"You can decide whether to forgive them and have the right to ask for compensation."

"..."

Avada felt extremely raw at the moment.

He just traveled through time casually, why did such a weird thing happen to him? He had read a lot of Harry Potter fan fiction in his previous life, but he had never seen such an outrageous plot!

"Okay." He replied feebly: "I can probably understand that this matter cannot be entirely blamed on them, but I can forgive it... As for compensation, I don't know much about the magical world, and I don't know how to decide it. Yes. Professor, why don't you give me some advice?"

"Thank you for your tolerance, kid."

Crocker breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I have a compensation plan here, you can refer to it."

"The first is a direct compensation of three thousand galleons, as well as reimbursement of all necessary expenses while you are attending Hogwarts, including the cost of textbooks, robes, wands, cauldrons, and other necessities.

"And, after you graduate, as long as you are unemployed, you will receive a monthly subsidy of twenty galleons. At the same time, if the Ministry of Magic has personnel needs, you will have priority in assessment and admission. And if you If you plan to open your own shop, the Ministry of Magic can provide an interest-free loan of five thousand Galleons for five years. What do you think?"

Avada looked at Dumbledore with pleading eyes - he had no idea of ​​the purchasing power of Galleons.

Dumbledore nodded and said, "It's a very reasonable plan, you can accept it."

"Okay, Professor."

Avada nodded in agreement, but still felt that it was outrageous: the first thing he did when he entered the magic world was to receive a generous compensation...

He doesn't even have a wand yet!

"Then it's settled." Crocker clapped his hands and looked relieved: "I will submit this plan to the Finance Office. With the influence of the Department of Mysteries and your participation, Professor Dumbledore, it will take about an hour. You can get approval. And Mr. Kendavia can buy a wand and come back to sign the magic contract."

"Then let's say goodbye for now, Mr. Crocker, if you please."

Dumbledore nodded to Crocker, then summoned Fawkes and left the Ministry of Magic with Avada. With a flash of firelight, Avada found herself on a busy street, surrounded by pedestrians wearing various robes, all looking at him and Dumbledore in surprise.

"Next, it's time to pick out a wand for you."

After Dumbledore waved to the passers-by around him, he turned and smiled at Avada beside him, which made Avada's heart surge.

Although he can now use a lot of self-developed magic without a wand, who can refuse a wand of his own?

Under the leadership of Dumbledore, he finally arrived at the door of a small and shabby store. He endured the excitement in his heart and looked at the gold-lettered signboard with some paint peeling off:
