Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Professor Baker hid his reasons for making Horcruxes.

Avada's magical senses allow him to intuitively "see" the most essential changes in other people's mental powers, so that he can directly detect the other person's true emotions and thoughts. This is equivalent to having a simple Legilimency, but without any trace. , the kind that ignores Occlumency, so whether the other party is well-intentioned or malicious, sincere or hypocritical, happy or angry, whether he lied or concealed something... he can't hide it in front of him.

Although most of what Professor Baker said was true, only at the beginning, when he told the reason why he made the crystal ball, his mental fluctuations showed a less obvious "concealed" state.

Of course he couldn't say - if he bluntly said that he carried out a killing in pursuit of immortality, who would be willing to help him? And he would rather ask two first-year students for help than go to other professors, probably because he didn't want the characteristics of the Horcrux to be seen through.

And in the subsequent description, he deliberately avoided the word "soul", and instead kept emphasizing "consciousness".

But there is one thing that makes Avada particularly puzzled: when Professor Baker swore that he had done no evil and answered Baron's question "Is the crystal ball a dark magic item?", he actually told the truth!

In other words, Professor Baker is indeed very knowledgeable in black magic, this black crystal ball is indeed a Horcrux, and the reason for creating a Horcrux is indeed shady - but Professor Baker did not do any evil when he created a Horcrux? !

This completely goes against Avada's knowledge.

But he could barely accept it. After all, he also knew that he had only been exposed to magic for a few months, and his understanding of the magical world was only a drop in the ocean. In other words, he had read the original work, so his horizons were a little higher, but it was also very general - —Maybe there is a way that he doesn’t know about that can create a Horcrux without the soul being corroded by black magic?

And if Professor Baker really didn't do evil, but split his soul after killing a dark wizard who was full of evil...

"Are you going to let us help you?"

Baron frowned and asked, "We are only freshmen, how can we possibly solve this problem?"

"Don't worry, even for a one-year-old wizard, as long as he is not too stupid, it is not difficult and there is no danger to help me. What's more, I have taught you for half a year, so I can probably detect your mistakes. The level is far beyond that of my peers... And if you are really willing to help me, then I will not only provide generous rewards afterwards, including but not limited to property, some of my unique skills, as well as secret intelligence and potion formulas …At the same time, I will try my best to guide you, teach you specific methods, and control risks for you.”

"but,"

He suddenly smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "It seems that you have no intention of trusting me from the beginning, especially you, Mr. Ken?"

Avada's pupils shrank.

"As an adventurer who specializes in dealing with dark wizards, I still have the ability to observe subtle expressions to judge psychology." Professor Baker said helplessly: "Besides, a wizard with ulterior motives and proficient in black magic, with a cutting-edge He entered the school with black magic items and deceived everyone with his false face... This kind of person is very questionable, right?"

"But don't worry, since I dare to make a request, I will naturally have a way to gain your trust."

"Mr. Shafiq, I remember that you should be a direct descendant of the 'Shafiq family', one of the twenty-eight sacred tribes?"

Baron glanced at him warily: "So what?"

There was a hint of smile in Professor Baker's voice: "So as an ancient pure-blood family, you must have a 'Spiritual Brand Contract' there, right?"

Baron said nothing, but the expression on his face gradually changed from vigilance to thinking.

"Spiritual Brand Contract? What is that?" Avada had never heard of this word before, and turned to Baron and asked.

"It is a magic contract that does not require a wand to be signed. It must be signed with mental power to leave a mark on it." Baron said thoughtfully: "This is specially used between powerful wizards. More advanced Magic contract. Because they have mastered the control of their own magic power, it is very easy to do some tricks when signing with a wand..."

"Besides, it suits my current situation very well."

Professor Baker added in a relaxed tone: "I don't have a body now. Even if I want to sign a contract with a wand, I can't. I can only use a spiritual brand contract. If I am willing to use the magic contract to guarantee what I have said before, and bind myself Behavior, are you willing to give me a certain amount of trust?"

Avada and Baron looked at each other, lost in thought at the same time.

"Of course, there may be a more convenient way for me..." Professor Baker said slowly: "For example, I now control the space magic in the room. I can use the threat of trapping you here to force you to You made an unbreakable oath to help me - but I won't do it. I prefer cooperation based on mutual trust rather than unilateral coercion, not to mention that you are still my students."

As soon as he finished speaking, Avada suddenly felt that the originally chaotic space returned to normal. Professor Baker's voice rang in his ears again: "Okay, I have removed the space magic. You are free to leave now."

"I will not bind you, but I have one request: If you agree to sign a contract with me, please do not tell anyone else about me."

"Is it just a request?" Balon asked. "What if we don't accept it?"

"I have shown all my sincerity. If I can't get even a little bit of trust even in this way, then I deserve it." Professor Baker sighed.

"I'll wait for your reply after the Christmas holidays."

As soon as this person finished speaking, Professor Baker's voice was no longer in the room. The black crystal ball rolled quietly to the ground, looking inconspicuous among the countless collections in the Room of Requirement. No one would have thought that there would be a powerful wizard hidden in such an ordinary crystal ball. soul.

Avada and Baron looked at each other, staring closely at the black crystal ball while slowly retreating towards the door of the Room of Requirement. Finally, when they were almost touching the door panel, Baron took the lead to open the door, and then the two of them dodged out as fast as possible, and then slammed the door again!

As they watched the smooth door panels gradually disappear, leaving only the empty wall, Avada and Baron slumped to the ground in unison, their faces suddenly turned pale, cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, and at the same time Breathing heavily.

The previous confrontation with Professor Baker was too tense and consuming, especially when they didn't know Professor Baker's intentions. It was like walking on a tightrope on a cliff, for fear of losing their lives if they were not careful.

After a long time, they gradually regained their composure.

Fortunately, there weren't many people staying on campus during the Christmas break. Normally, no one would come to the eighth floor. Professor Flitwick was probably still sleeping in, so no one noticed anything strange about them.

"Are you going to trust him?"

After a while, Avada was the first to ask Baron a question.

He himself was willing to give Professor Baker a certain amount of trust - by observing the changes in his mental power, he could directly "see" that Professor Baker's kindness and sincerity came from the heart. And it was true as he said, he could have trapped the two of them and forced them to make an unbreakable oath, but he did not do so.

Although he was still a little worried about the Horcrux, if there was a contract as a constraint, it wouldn't be a problem.

But after all, the spiritual brand contract is in the hands of the Shafiq family. If Balon is unwilling to provide it, there is nothing he can do. He didn't dare to directly help a guy who had no restraint at all!

Oh my god, just three days after signing the contract, the collection has exceeded 500. Thank you everyone for your love and support!
