How Could Dumbledore Allow Students to Learn Dark Magic?

After Lucien took his leave and left the office.

Quirrell's face turned pale instantly, and he broke out in a cold sweat, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"Master, why are you teaching Lucien Dark Magic? Won't this expose your plans?"

Faced with Quirrell's question, Voldemort surprisingly didn't get angry, but simply said in a sinister tone:

"Heh, he really is talented. He actually managed to sense it, and even learned the magic in such a short time. He's far better than a piece of trash like you."

"But didn't you notice? He tried the curse without any hesitation, as if he didn't reject it at all."

"After I offered to teach him the true essence of this magic, you see how readily he agreed. What do you think that means?"

Quirrell lowered his head and answered cautiously:

"Forgive my ignorance, Master, but I truly cannot understand."

Voldemort snorted coldly.

"He's not only talented, he's also ambitious!"

"Lucien wants anything that grants him greater knowledge or more powerful magic."

"Since he wants to learn, then teach him!"

After a pause, Voldemort continued:

"He learns as much dark magic as possible, incorporating elements of Dark Magic into his Defense Against the Dark Arts instruction."

"Ha, how could Dumbledore allow a student to come into contact with Dark Magic?"

"Since we can't control Lucien with a curse, let's try a different way to shut him up. After Lucien becomes addicted to the power of Dark Magic, will he still go and tell the headmaster and teachers?"

Voldemort thought of his younger self, when he was still studying at Hogwarts, and was supervised and targeted by Dumbledore!

Despite being the most outstanding, surrounded by a group of "friends," and the most talented, charismatic, and unique wizard, Voldemort was constantly suppressed and guarded against by Dumbledore!

If Lucien is led down a similar path, he will inevitably drift further and further away from Dumbledore.

What Voldemort wouldn't tell Quirrell was that he felt Lucien was like a younger version of himself.

Of course, she's definitely not as good as him.

He came from a humble background, just a wizard from a Muggle family.

But Lucien possesses remarkable talent, a thirst for power and ambition, and the skill to conceal his true nature...

Haha, it's clearly an eagle, yet it's willing to associate with sparrows and pretend to be a companion or friend.

These very qualities of Lucien aroused Voldemort's interest in cultivating him into his follower.

Voldemort was confident that once Lucien came into contact with more advanced Dark Magic and witnessed its allure, he would understand and submit to his power and prestige!

Headmaster's Office.

Lucien picked up the cup of black tea in front of him, took a small sip, and moistened his slightly dry lips and tongue.

"Headmaster, what do you think of the magic Professor Quirrell taught me...?"

Is this normal?

After listening to Lucien's account of his tutoring session with Professor Quirrell, Dumbledore couldn't resist picking up another sugar cube and dropping it into his teacup.

Seeing this, Lucien's lips twitched, and he glanced at the slightly viscous black tea in Dumbledore's cup.

Adding any more sugar will turn it into syrup!

Dumbledore of black tea, but remained silent for a long time.

There was no sound from his side, but the portraits of the principals on the wall couldn't help but speak up.

In an instant, all sorts of sounds rang out simultaneously:

"Albus, the safety of Hogwarts..."

"Don't let this child be in danger..."

"What did I tell you? That's clearly the Dark Lord..."

"What's there to hesitate about? Just go and kill them..."

However, these portraits were only the beginning Dumbledore waved his hand, causing the curtain to be quickly drawn, obscuring the portraits and cutting off their conversation.

"Well..."

Dumbledore sighed softly, his gaze towards Lucien filled with complex emotions.

According to his original plan, Quirrell was supposed to maintain a facade of peace while secretly and covertly exposing the conspiracy.

But Lucien's appearance seems to have completely disrupted the rhythm.

Whether it's Dumbledore's rhythm, or Quirrell's, or that other person's rhythm.

Quirrell or Voldemort probably never imagined that Lucien would immediately run to Dumbledore to "tell on" them.

But what could Dumbledore do? Of course, he could intervene at any time and thwart Voldemort's plan.

However, Dumbledore couldn't truly defeat Voldemort. According to the Prophecy, only Harry Potter, only that child who survived, could truly...

Therefore, Dumbledore wanted to nurture Harry, let him experience adventures, let him grow, and make him qualified to face Voldemort.

But what Lucien said made Dumbledore feel uneasy.

"Lucien, you are very talented, very good in many ways."

"You're a very smart child too. As for Professor Quirrell's matter..."

Hearing Dumbledore's unusually hesitant tone, Lucien understood.

It seems that Dumbledore won't deal with Quirrell directly; he'll definitely continue his the Chosen One -making plan.

Wow, what Prophecy for this world!

To truly kill Voldemort, you must first destroy those Horcrux.

Horcrux can actually be destroyed in many ways, such as the venom of the Basilisk, the Sword of Gryffindor that absorbed the Basilisk Venom, Fiendfyre...

First find the Horcrux, then destroy Horcrux, and finally kill Voldemort.

But it seems that only Harry Potter, the child of Prophecy, can accomplish all of this.

Prophecy, destiny...

Lucien thought of the centaur Firenze's assessment of him, which would change the fate of many people.

Is it because of its uniqueness that it can cause changes beyond Prophecy?

"Principal, so what do you want me to do?"

Lucien asked directly.

Because, in Dumbledore's style, he would act according to his plan regardless of whether the other party was willing or not.

Even if someone wants to break free from the arrangement, the very idea itself will be exploited by Dumbledore.

The best example is Newt, who ran around for Dumbledore when he was young, yet he still believed that he was driven by his own ideas and doing what he wanted to do.

Hearing Lucien's blunt question, Dumbledore sighed again.

"You are indeed very smart, I hope..."

"You can continue to follow along and learn from Professor Quirrell."

"I hope you can talk to me about what knowledge and magic Quirinus taught you afterward, just like you did today."

Lucien was indifferent to Dumbledore's request.

Anyway, I was planning to get some free stuff from Quirrell or Tom anyway, to learn some magic and knowledge.

Moreover, Dumbledore implied that he was tacitly approving of learning Dark Magic.

Yes, he must feel that he is also taking a risk.

It's not appropriate to bring this up now, but we can wait until Harry and his friends get their hands on the information about the Sorcerer's Stone.

You could take this opportunity to ask Dumbledore and try to get the Sorcerer's Stone ahead of time.

After all, he needed to use the Sorcerer's Stone to brew a potion to repay the loan from Qilin.

It would definitely be better to start trying sooner; waiting until Harry gets the Sorcerer's Stone would be too late and too troublesome.

Using Sorcerer's Stone to brew potions is probably not a simple task; it's best to experiment as many times as possible.

With this favor done for us today, there's a better chance that Dumbledore will agree to ask about the Sorcerer's Stone again later.

Lucien smiled and looked at Dumbledore.

"Yes, Headmaster, I'd love to learn more about knowledge and magic."
