Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 42 Don’t ask for his name

After the three Avatars left, Hagrid accompanied Harry to try on the clothes, handed him the drink in his hand, and then left the robe shop and began to buy other school supplies one by one according to the list.

"Hagrid, you just said I was Ken's nemesis. What did that mean?"

While sipping his drink, Harry raised his head and asked Hagrid beside him.

"Oh my god, I shouldn't have said that to your face."

Hagrid suddenly became annoyed: "That's just a joke, don't pay too much attention."

"But……"

"No but." Hagrid's tone was a little serious: "Remember, Harry, don't ask for Ken's name. Ken is a very nice person, kind and has good grades. You can safely make friends with him at school, but Just don’t ask for his name.”

"Why?" Harry was even more curious now - Hagrid could even tell him Voldemort's name.

"His name is a taboo, a real taboo." Hagrid shook his head, as if he didn't want to think about it anymore, but he was worried that he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't explain it clearly to Harry: "Even Dumbledore doesn't want to mention him. name."

"If the mysterious man's name is just a symbol that symbolizes fear, then Ken's name represents real, tangible death. Even the death of his parents is inseparable from that name."

"sky!"

Harry shrank his head, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"But don't be afraid, and don't think anything of Ken for that, Harry. It's his name that symbolizes death, not him."

Seeing Harry's reaction, Hagrid realized that he had made a mistake in order to frighten Harry, and quickly explained: "He was given this name when he was born, and he himself suffered a lot of inconveniences because of this name... Think about it, none of your friends know your real name, how sad it is!"

"So actually at this point, Ken himself is the biggest victim of his name. What he deserves should not be suspicion and fear, but understanding and comfort..."

Hagrid patted Harry on the shoulder, making him almost stagger: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. What were you talking about together just now?"

"We were talking about the houses. They told me that Hogwarts has four houses, and each house symbolizes different qualities, kindness, wisdom, courage, honor and responsibility... and so on." Harry said. Recalling what Avada and Balon had just said, he told Hagrid.

"Honor and duty?"

Hagrid frowned after hearing these words: "Is this how they describe Slytherin to you?"

"I'm telling you, I'd rather go to Hufflepuff than Slytherin. That college is almost the training base for dark wizards. There are several times more dark wizards from there than the other three colleges combined. Even The mysterious man was also born in Slytherin..."

After following Draco Malfoy to Ollivander's Wand Shop and witnessing that the wand with a hawthorn wood and unicorn hair core chose him, Avada followed the two families to the Nimbus Company's display. After listening to Mr. Shafik, Lucius and the people from Nimbus Company arguing for a long time, after Lucius handed over his magic wood sample to Nimbus Company, the two families parted ways in Diagon Alley. .

"dad,"

Malfoy pulled Lucius's sleeve and asked, "Who is that Ken? Why is no one willing to mention his name?"

"Don't ask, this is not what you should know now."

A jealous look flashed in Lucius's eyes, and he solemnly warned his son: "You have heard what Mr. Shafiq said, so don't inquire, don't be curious, or even better don't even think about it, just know His name is Ken. And..."

"And he is likely to have unusual talents and is closely watched by Dumbledore. So you'd better have a good relationship with him in school. Even if you don't want to get close to the Hufflepuff gang, at least don't provoke him. , or verbally insult him or the people around him."

"Like treating that Harry Potter?" Malfoy asked nervously - he had rarely seen his father talking to him so seriously.

"Yeah, just like Harry Potter."

Lucius nodded and whispered: "If my guess is correct, he should have the same chance of becoming the next Dark Lord like Harry Potter." (Note)

If Avada could hear these words, he would definitely be the first to jump out and cry out for injustice.

How could he become the next Dark Lord!

Could it be that just because he was born in an orphanage, was introduced to Hogwarts by Dumbledore, has extraordinary talents, a phoenix feather wand, has a good relationship with the Slytherins, studies Horcruxes, and cannot be mentioned by name? Should we simply conclude that he is the Dark Lord?

He's a Hufflepuff! Hufflepuff has never produced many dark wizards in its history!

Fortunately, Avada did not hear this and went to Lucius to reason. He just went to the bookstore alone to buy second-grade textbooks, and then bought some Floo powder and other magic materials he needed to use. Then he got into the Shafiq family's car and returned to the Shafiq Manor with them.

Along the way, Mr. Shafiq was talking excitedly about the mass production of Nimbus 2000.

"The Malfoy family is really lucky this time - after preliminary testing, the people from Nimbus Company found that the magic wood they provided is really useful! And not only the power valve, but also the balance ridge can be repaired with that wood. After all, it can even slightly improve performance while achieving mass production!”

"It's amazing! Who would have thought that ordinary mahogany can become the most suitable material for making high-end broomsticks after some improvement and cultivation? The Morgan index of this wood has reached an astonishing... And cultivation The cost and time are less than two-thirds of other woods of the same grade. The key is that it is very easy..."

"People from Nimbus Company have brought the samples back for study. If they confirm that there are no problems, they will discuss cooperation with Malfoy Manor and inspect the conditions of the planting site... If everything goes well, it will probably be put into production next year!"

"At that time, we can use the new technology that has not been developed yet to directly create a new type of broom, which is Nimbus 2001!"

Listening to Mr. Shafik's eloquent words, Avada gradually understood: No wonder in the original book, Malfoy took out seven Nimbus 2001 brooms in the second grade. It turned out that their family became Nimbus. The company’s suppliers…

He had seen the pre-sale price of Nimbus 2000 and concluded that he could barely afford one by draining his savings. As for the newer model, Nimbus 2001, which is probably more expensive, if you buy seven of them in a row, even pure-blood nobles will probably feel sick - that's tens of thousands of galleons! It’s enough for the average person to have food and clothing for a lifetime!

As for Sirius Black who doesn't regard money as money, let's talk about it separately.

After staying at Shafiq's house for a few more days, Awada also returned to the orphanage to spend the last half of the summer vacation. During this period, the wand trace restriction had been lifted, and he could finally cast spells unscrupulously in the dead of night. As he had already completed his summer vacation homework, he only had a few things to do during this period.

Study Floo powder, try to learn Professor Baker's "Dual Casting", analyze the "Confession" magic with the notes during study, and break the seal left by Professor Baker on the giant book bit by bit.

However, these things are extremely difficult. In addition, since he is not at Hogwarts, he has lost the help of the largest library in the UK, and the time he can spare for research every day is limited. He has to be careful and try his best when doing research. Without making any noise, his progress was very slow.

Finally, the time came to September 1, 1991.

Note: Before Harry entered school, there was a popular belief in his speculation that he was a dark wizard more powerful than Voldemort. Many former Death Eaters agree with this view and hope to rule the world again by supporting Harry.

Also: Thanks to the "serious profiteer" and "All for Asuna" for the reward!
