Harry thought of the forbidden spell and slowly reached out and raised his wand.

He thought of Professor Dracula's demonstration in the Defence Against the Dark Arts open class, and the image of the giant rat that had lost all life in an instant came to his eyes.

He also thought about the time when he was still in the form of a diary with Tom Riddle, and the words on the pages of the diary induced him, wanting him to let go of the shackles in his heart and embark on the path of dark magic.

Harry's lips trembled as he looked at the gray-white fire dragon that was speeding in front of him, the spell almost coming to his lips and swallowing it.

He remembered what Professor Dracula had told him when he first discovered Riddle's diary—

Riddle had always wanted Harry to learn the Dark Arts, especially the worst of the Unforgivable Spells, because this spell would greatly affect Harry's mood and would also change his mental state and psychology a lot.

When Harry actually used the Unforgivable Charm for the first time, he slowly discovered the usefulness of this kind of black magic that violated the rules of the Ministry of Magic.

Gradually, he will become dependent on it, and slowly become uninhibited, unable to escape from the vortex of black magic......

Finally, Harry gritted his teeth, and the spell on his lips changed the moment he blurted it out—

"Expers!"

He shouted.

Using a disarming spell that doesn't have any lethality and doesn't have much aggression to attack a stone dragon covered in scales is undoubtedly a bit funny and ridiculous.

But there was a voice in Harry's mind telling him to do so, as if he knew he didn't need a dangerous requisition to be able to repel the dragon.

So he recited the disarming spell without any hesitation.

The next moment, a blinding red light erupted from the tip of Harry's wand, striking the dragon's gray-white scales before its fangs touched him.

With a "boom", the fire dragon seemed to have been hit hard, and its brutal eyes became stunned and incredulous, and then it flew upside down like an arrow from a string, and fell heavily on the ground in front of the palace.

Seeing this, Rove quickly ran up to the dragon and pressed his wand to the dragon's most fragile eye, and a disarming spell quickly came out of his mouth.

The dragon was sent flying by Harry's disarming spell, and it didn't slow down for a long time, so the spell cast by Rove, who seized the opportunity, struck a fragile eye hard, and was no longer blocked by its hard skin.

Under the effect of the spell that lifted the transformation, the huge fire dragon immediately changed its appearance-

A pair of wings on its back were retracted, and the four claws below its abdomen were retracted into its body; At the same time, its entire abdomen becomes thinner and elongated, gradually taking on the same thickness as the tail behind it.

The dragon reverted to the form of a giant serpent.

"Sure enough, it was fused with transformation magic, but fortunately the bet was right......" Seeing the changes in the fire dragon's body, Rove breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Then he turned his head to Harry urgently, "Quick, Harry! I don't know if it will transform into another form again, so let it go back while it's still in snake form!" ….

Harry nodded, switching his language to the old snake accent, and opened his mouth to make a "hiss" sound:

"Go back to where you came from, and don't come down again!"

The serpent's glittering green eyes moved, as if for a moment.

Then, its long serpent body swung and snaked its way up to another stone pillar in front of the palace gate, tightly wound around the pillar.

Eventually, it returned to its original position, and the green light in the snake child quietly went out.

The whole stone pillar turned into the most simple appearance, and the giant snake wrapped around it seemed to be just a floating wither, and there was no danger......

"We...... Succeeded?" Ha

Sharp glanced at the wand in his hand in disbelief, still feeling a little dreamlike.

"Yes, we succeeded!" Rove jumped up, shouted excitedly, and put his arm around Harry's shoulder, "By the way, Harry, I didn't hear the spell just now, what was the spell you used to repel the dragon?" Teach me, this is so handsome!"

"Uh...... I don't know how to explain it," Harry glanced at Rove's excited expression, a little unable to bear to disturb his enthusiasm, "Anyway, ahem...... It's just a disarming charm."

He smiled awkwardly at Rove with an innocent expression.

Rove's excited expression immediately froze on his face.

"So, is that really a disarming spell?" His eyes widened in disbelief, "I thought I had misheard, but I didn't expect it to be a disarming spell......

"Harry, you may be number one wizard who can use the Disarming Charm as a high-destruction dark magic." Rove patted Harry on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

At this point, Ginny approached and checked Harry's body up and down, fearing that he would be hurt by the adventure he had just saved himself from the dragon's mouth.

"What you did just now was too dangerous, Harry, you didn't have to." She sobbed with red eyes, "You're the savior of the wizarding world, and if something goes wrong to save me, then I can't afford to do that in my life......

"Ginny, you worship me not because I'm a savior, but because of my character. Didn't you tell me that?" He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Ginny then looked away from Harry, but her eyes were still red, and her face was covered with a touch of sunshine.

"Alright, you two don't get tired of being crooked here......" Rove couldn't stand the two of them's greasy behavior, and reminded him in a loud voice, "Let's go in first and find out where Luna is."

"She's been stuck here all day, and she doesn't know what happened to her."

Harry and Ginny nodded blushing slightly, and the three of them walked through the palace gates together.

After the fierce battle just now, the three little wizards were all messy and dirty, but their eyes were bright, they took confident steps, and their faces were full of high fighting spirit.

……

"Did you put a little too much water, Dumbledore?" ….

In one of the rooms of Dracula's Castle, Dracula looked at the Hogwarts title parchment plastered on the opposite wall, and looked at Dumbledore with an unhappy expression.

He felt that this good show should have been going on for a while longer, but now it was over a little soon, and he hadn't finished watching it yet.

"Can't you say that, Professor Dracula?" Dumbledore smiled and said, "Don't slander me, I've been doing my best to contribute to this good show!"

"Could it be that you have to tell me, a great wizard, a former professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts, and a pillar of the wizarding world, can your Transfiguration be so bad?" Dracula said through gritted teeth.

"First it was knocked away by a second-year wizard with a disarming charm, and then it was lifted by another second-year wizard who lifted its transfiguration! If you're at this level, then the future of the wizarding world is bleak."

Dracula stared into Dumbledore's eyes, looking at him malice.

"You've really misunderstood me this time, Professor Dracula." Dumbledore said innocently, "I thought that against two second-year and one first-year young wizards, this strength of Transfiguration would already be quite difficult for them."

"But I didn't expect that these two little ones really gave me a pretty big surprise."

He smiled and stroked his waist-length white beard, and the smile in his eyes could not be hidden, obviously very satisfied with the performance of the little wizards.

"Is it really a surprise?" Dracula pursed his lips and sneered, "You were the most nervous when you saw Potter standing in the way of Wes just now, and I think you can be at all times."

I want to stop the dragon that the snake has turned into."

"And you should see that, right? Potter was going to use the Reel Charm...... He's got a fragment of Voldemort's soul in his body, and I guess his Soul Seeking Charm wouldn't be too bad, and maybe he could get rid of the dragon you turned into without you releasing water."

Dracula glanced at Dumbledore with interest and teased playfully,

"I'd like to see what you'd be like if he really used the Unforgivable Spell because of the pressure you put on him, and he became obsessed with the Dark Arts, and ended up learning the Dark Arts path of Voldemort?"

"I'm not going to let that happen." Dumbledore's expression became serious, "At that time, Tom embarked on the path of studying the dark arts, and in fact, I did not guide him well."

"So I've learned some lessons, and I'm going to pay attention to Harry's mental health. If he really has a tendency to learn the dark arts, I'll pull him back with my own hands!" He said.

"Now it seems that Potter doesn't need that dark magic very much." Dracula curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Although the disarming spell he temporarily cast is indeed a bit nondescript, but the attack power is indeed not inferior to ordinary dark magic."

"It's funny, I'm thinking about cultivating him in Defense Against the Dark Arts class next year, and maybe I can create a new genre of disarming!"

"Then please, Professor Dracula." Dumbledore smiled softly. ….

Their eyes were on the parchment of the title deed, and the three young wizards had successfully entered the palace of the ruins of Slytherin......

Harry was the first to step on the tiles inside the palace.

He raised his wand and looked around vigilantly in the light of the wand lighting spell, only to see an empty space and not see any danger around him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Rove and Ginny also stepped into the palace, looking around curiously.

Different from the luxurious, atmospheric, and spectacular they imagined, the magnificent palace of the past has long been dilapidated under the erosion of thousands of years.

The dome pierced, the moonlight leaked down, and the illumination spell and the dim glow of the moonlight clearly reflected the fine dust fluttering in the sky. Looking around, I saw dense spider silk all over the corners, and the interior walls were mottled and peeling wall paint.

The cold wind blows, the cobwebs between the broken walls flutter in the wind, and occasionally you can see the rubble scattered on the ground, a desolate and miserable scene.

Time is the most merciless, and nothing in this world can beat time.

All glory, glory, humiliation, desolation...... All of them are integrated into the vicissitudes of life. Time will erase everything, and even a powerful wizard as powerful as the Big Four cannot escape the washing and baptism of time, and finally dissipate in the long river of history.

Dracula was so impressed by the passage of time and the death of his friends that he had no interest in finding interesting things to pass the time.

However, at this time, the three young wizards in the Slytherin Ruins Palace were too young to feel the tragic scene.

At first, they felt that the situation was too far from what they had imagined, and then they quickly lost interest and threw themselves into finding Luna.

Actually, Luna didn't hide too deeply, Harry, Rove, and Ginny bypassed the main hall, and only turned around two or three rooms in the side hall before they found Luna's figure-

Next to one side wall, an oil lamp is placed on a small stone platform, and a little witch sits on a small stone next to the stone platform, holding a copy of "Singing and Singing" upside down, and "reads" with great interest by the light of the oil lamp.

The little witch had messy, waist-length, dirty blond hair, eyebrows of a spurring color, and a pair of gray eyes that looked flickering and bulging outwards hidden under a strange pair of glasses made up of two colored five-pointed stars.

She wore a fluffy bunny slipper on one foot, and bare-footed on the other, dangling on one side of the stone platform.

When Harry, Rove and Ginny were seen from the Lord

When the temple entered, she looked up happily and greeted them warmly:

"Rov, Harry, and Ginny, you're here?"

"Ah, uh...... Yes, here we are." Rove had been brewing for a long time, and the words that wanted to soothe her emotions as soon as he found Luna choked in his throat, and finally only held back such a sentence.

Harry and Ginny also looked at Luna with strange expressions.

Luna felt too settled and laid-back, and it felt like she was staying at home and the three of them had come over without a present. ….

"Luna, have you been here since last night?" Ginny hesitated, but decided to ask.

"I snuck out after curfew last night, and it took me a long time to find here." Luna tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It wasn't last night, I think I've been here since about this morning."

"You really haven't been mistreated, or have you been taken captive here, Luna?" Harry asked, "And you don't feel hungry after staying here all day without eating?"

"No one else, I'm here by myself!" Luna said excitedly, "And I've stocked up on a lot of snacks that I haven't fed to the animals, which will last me for days."

She patted the small crossbody bag she was carrying at her side.

"But...... How did you find such a hidden ruin?" At this time, Rove couldn't help but ask, "How did you discover the ruins that Hogwarts haven't discovered in so many generations, so hastily?"

He really didn't want to believe that Luna, a little witch who was usually out of tune, just walked a few steps in the Forbidden Forest and found a way to enter the labyrinth magic circle without mistake, and came to the palace unscathed that they had been fighting desperately for a long time to enter.

"Because someone taught me to come here!" Luna said as a matter of course, "Ever since I entered the Forbidden Forest, there has been a voice in my ear that has been guiding me in one direction, and I have been told to jump into this place the way he did!"

"Is it because there is an unknown voice that tells you to go like this, and you leave like this?" Rove glared at her thoughtfully, "If you run into some ill-intentioned dark wizard, we don't even know if he sold you."

"No, I can tell he's not malicious." Luna shook her hair, still grinning, "And I've always felt like the voice was a bit like Professor Dracula's."

"I'm guessing you're probably hallucinating, Luna." Harry shook his head, "Professor Dracula took all the professors to dinner, how could he be in the Forbidden Forest?"

"But I really feel like Professor Dracula's." Luna's eyes rolled, "It's not like the timbre, the pitch, or the tone of voice at all, but I just feel like Professor Dracula's voice."

Harry opened his mouth to speak, but Ginny tugged at his sleeve behind his back, interrupting his desire to continue arguing.

"Alright, Harry, there's no need to argue with Luna, you can't beat her." Ginny said, "If only we could find Luna, we should go back now, and we'll have to fight Mr. Filch later."

"Ginny, you seem to have forgotten that Mr. Filch is also attending Professor Dracula's dinner tonight, and we don't need to hide from him tonight." Rove smiled and said, "But it's a little late now, it's time to go back."

"Come with us, Luna?"

Luna nodded happily and put away the singing in her hand.

The four young wizards walked out of the palace gate together, leaving the ruins of the Slytherin from the great trunk of the tree.

But what they didn't know was that after they left, two other people came to the palace seamlessly—

"Miss Lovegood is smart." Dumbledore chuckled.

He pulled out a silver lighter and clicked it on the lighter's button.

A bright ball of light rose from the lighter into the sky of the palace, illuminating the entire palace

Bright, far more effective than the wand illumination spell.

"Yes, Miss Lovegood is indeed a magical little witch." Dracula glanced at the lights out device in Dumbledore's hand and nodded in agreement, "I thought I was already well disguised, but I didn't expect her to intuitively associate with me."

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've ever known that Slytherin split with the other three founders to build such a magnificent palace around Hogwarts." Dumbledore looked around in amazement, "That's a lot of work, and it wasn't discovered by the other three founders?"

"Yes, at that time, Salazar's magical attainments were actually faintly higher than the other three founders." Dracula sighed deeply, and his tone became silent.

"Oh? Is there a story in this that I don't know?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, if you want to hear it."
