"So, on the day the trolls attacked, Mr. Weasley did something wrong to you, and then, after the dinner, he wanted to apologize, but they accidentally walked to the fourth floor together, met a three-headed dog, and tried his best to escape from the three-headed dog."

"A few days later, you saw Professor Snape with a scar on his leg, so you suspect Snape was trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, right?" Ricardo concluded.

"And because of the three-headed dog together, you became good friends."

"That's right," Hermione nodded, "we're friends now." ”

Ricardo was not surprised. In fact, when Miss Granger accompanied the two men on the first night tour, he had expected it.

That time, Dumbledore personally escorted them, maybe he wanted them to experience some common incident. It is even possible that the release of the troll was also for the sake of the name of the savior and the promotion of the unity of the trio.

When you go through something with someone, you can't help but feel good for each other, and escaping from under the nose of a three-headed dog is one such event.

"So, Professor Silva," the little witch pursed her lips, looking at Ricardo earnestly, "you need to tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this!" Snape really isn't right! ”

"Not really," Ricardo said, "it may just be a coincidence......

"No, it's more than that!" Hermione took two deep breaths and continued, "Do you remember that time you passed out? I promise, it's a good thing Snape did! He's trying to kill Harry, and just as you're ready to protect him, Snape hits you! ”

Ricardo:???

"So last time, how did Mr. Potter get the gold medal?"

"This ......," the little witch suddenly writhed, and Ricardo urged for a long time, promising not to say anything, "I put a fire under Snape's robe......

Ricardo:!!!

"Well, I want to ask you, you've already told me," Ricardo said with a smile, "don't be so excited, you can ask your parents, maybe they know?" So, I just did a small favor. ”

"It's very safe," Hermione pouted, "because they're both dentists." ”

Hemp, melon?

……

After Hermione left, Ricardo lay on the bed, feeling a little creepy.

Your friends, the people you care about, the information you control are all given to you by the same person, and this arrangement is unknowingly so that even the person you're talking to doesn't know they're typing you the information that the person wants to type for you.

This makes you curious, you start exploring, you become fascinated, and you take that person's language as a belief.

Let him do a few things that do not meet his requirements, causing an irreparable consequence, leaving him in a state of self-consciousness and low ability to think rationally, and taking that person as his only salvation.

Finally, make the target blindly believe that dying for love is a sign of true love, and eventually make the target attempt suicide.

All of this is under the control of that person.

-, wait, curiosity-exploration-fascination-destruction-emotional abuse, isn't this the most common five-step trap emotional manipulation technique in PUA?

Ricardo snapped into his mind, was this how Grindelwald was destroyed by Dumbledore?

Of course, it's a little bit more conscientious than emotional manipulation, but this kind of control over everything around you is no different from controlling that person.

If it were just a simple old man's observation, all of which was nothing more than a coincidence of fiction, then all events could be understood; But there are too many coincidences, the person who went to get the Philosopher's Stone was just an old man who didn't finish the third grade (Ricardo investigated Tom Riddle's deeds, and naturally knew that Hagrid dropped out of school in the third year) (equivalent to the head of the sect sending a third-rate master to get the martial arts cheats), the old man likes to say that he has a good relationship with the savior, and the savior has lingering feelings about the three-headed dog when Snape was bitten by the three-headed dog and was still dangling in front of the savior, the savior's first friend was the Weasley family, who were most loyal to Dumbledore in the British Isles, Is the second friend the best girl in the first year or a Gryffindor Muggle wizard who can only be attached to Dumbledore......

Add to that Voldemort's admission that Dumbledore wanted to use him as a stepping stone to the savior......

Ricardo took a deep breath, he was a little scared.

No one wanted to do things under such a boss, but he didn't have a choice.

Inexplicably, he was somewhat in favor of learning the Dark Arts. Only if you are strong enough can you protect yourself, nothing else matters.

What he didn't know was that his pupils were glowing red and bloodshot all over.

……

After sorting out the knowledge of dark magic control for the past few days, Ricardo picked up a portable oil lamp and walked out of the office, pacing down the hallway.

The hallway was pitch black and eerie. He lit an oil lamp and walked past portraits with it. Although the portrait is sleeping, it is still making movements little by little, which is a little scary in the cold light.

Don't think about it so much, Ricardo comforts himself, Dumbledore won't kill me for no reason, or rather, I have plenty of time to reverse your fate before Dumbledore takes control of me, as long as I'm strong enough, no rules can stop me, and I can do whatever I like.

But before that, what about Dumbledore starting to lay out to me as he did to the Savior? Or even say, in fact, the layout has started now? What am I doing now in Dumbledore's plan?

So...... Maybe it's time for me to learn some dark magic, isn't it? Only being strong is the axiom of the world, and there is no place for the weak in the eyes of the strong, and he needs to have the strength to fight against everything in order to be himself in his future life.

He is now a selfish person who is willing to help his students within the scope of his ability, but he is exhausted to death like in his previous life. To be reborn, you naturally have to be kind to yourself, you can't be free to live, you are bound by those things, this ...... Is it worth it? Why don't you control the darkness and be worthy of yourself anyway, wouldn't it be good?

Black Magic ...... Freely...... Black Magic ...... Freely...... Is it freedom, or is it depravity?

Damn, I really want to learn the dark arts......

He suddenly stopped in front of a tall suit of armor and looked around in confusion.

It seems like...... Lost.

Maybe it was because it was too dark for him to tell where he was. He knew there was a suit of armor near the kitchen, but he was definitely several floors above the kitchen now.

There was a crack in a door on the left, and there was a slight flicker of light inside. He greeted the light and walked to this room.

It looks like it's an abandoned classroom. Tables and chairs were stacked on top of the wall, showing a large black shadow, and there was an upside-down wastepaper basket.

But on the wall that was facing him. But there is something that doesn't seem to belong here, as if someone has temporarily put it here because there is no place to put it.

It is a very imposing mirror, high to the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame and two claw-shaped feet underneath. At the top is engraved a line of words:

Erisstra Aitut Ubika Frua Iton Wokhs

He walked over, and then froze.
