Hogwarts: My Name is the Unforgivable

pleasure to travel with you."

"Qiu Zhang, nice to meet you." The Asian girl greeted with a smile, and then walked in dragging her luggage: "What were you talking about just now, it doesn't seem very happy?"

Baron said seriously: "We are talking about the current situation in Slytherin. Just now we all agreed that some people in Slytherin College have forgotten their former glory. They are just blinded by pleasure and wantonly release their nature... uh..."

He was speechless for a moment, not knowing what words to use to describe those disappointing seniors.

  "Asshole."

Avada picked a fairly appropriate word on the side.

"It's a bit vulgar, but basically correct."

Baron frowned slightly, but still nodded in approval: "So I just told him that those were definitely not Slytherin's original intention, and asked him not to be prejudiced against Slytherin. If a Slytherin offends him in the future, I am willing to provide as much help as possible, and apologize in advance for it."

  "The same goes for you, Qiu."

"Thank you for your kindness."

Qiu thanked with a smile, and then asked hesitantly: "But forgive me for being presumptuous, I think the reason why Slytherin's reputation is so... unsatisfactory, in addition to the factors you mentioned before, it is also related to their admissions standards, right? Ambitious, chasing power, victory above all else... It's hard to recruit good people, right?"

"You missed the most important one, 'value honor'." Baron looked serious: "Moreover, a person's bottom line and conscience are the fundamental factors that determine whether he becomes a good person, and it has nothing to do with ambition and power."

"I don't deny that people with these traits are more likely to lose themselves, their bottom line and conscience, so most dark wizards come from Slytherin. But this does not mean that this was Salazar Slytherin's original intention, nor does it mean that there are no honest, kind and trustworthy people in Slytherin."

"I believe this, and I hope that after you enter Slytherin, you can change other people's prejudice against Slytherin."

Avada gently comforted Baron, and then changed the subject: "Let's talk about something lighter. Qiu, you seem to be Asian? It seems that Asian faces are rarely seen in the UK, and it is even rarer among wizards."

  "Yes."

Qiu smiled and said, "My mother is of British Chinese descent and also graduated from Hogwarts. According to her own words, she is the first Chinese wizard admitted to Hogwarts in more than a thousand years, and I may be the second!" (Note)

"Speaking of which, there is something quite curious." Avada said, "Asia is obviously the most populous continent in the world, but it has the fewest wizards. There is only one magic school in Asia, the 'Magic School', and although it recruits students from all over Asia, it is the smallest among the eleven magic schools."

"I have seen similar questions in my library." Baron replied, "The mainstream view is that the birth of wizards seems to be related to the earth's magnetic field. The closer to the magnetic pole, the easier it is to give birth to wizards. Europe and North America, as the largest population centers near the magnetic poles, naturally have the most wizards. Although Asia has the largest population, it is the farthest from the magnetic poles, so there are very few wizards."

"The southernmost tip of Africa and South America is close to the South Magnetic Pole, and the population is not small, so the number of wizards is also considerable. But considering factors such as climate and natural resources, magic schools were chosen to be established in Uganda and Brazil."

Avada was amazed by this view, which was a theory he had never thought of when reading the original book.

  "It sounds very reasonable." He exclaimed sincerely.

"But this view is only a summary of reality and lacks regular verification." Baron sighed, "and it can't explain the distribution of magical beasts. Magical beasts are distributed on every continent, and in large numbers. This is also something that has always puzzled magical zoologists."

"I thought about this question myself when I was a child." Qiu's eyes lit up: "I think that the blood inheritance of magical creatures is more stable than that of wizards. So as long as a new magical creature is born, or a magical animal migrates to other environments, it can continue to exist and form a large population after a long evolution, without being restricted by the geographical environment. The evidence is that there has never been a 'dud' among magical beasts!"

"It's a very interesting point of view!" Baron was surprised: "Did you really come up with this yourself?"

  "Of course!"

"You will definitely be an excellent Ravenclaw." He exclaimed.   

"Thank you for the compliment. This is also what my mother expected of me." Qiu smiled sweetly.

Avada, who was born as a muggle and whose knowledge of the magic world was limited to the original novels and the few magic books he had just read, was confused when he heard this.

Isn't the magic world only about Avada Kedavra and Expelliarmus?

  "Woo--"

Just then, with the sound of a whistle, the Hogwarts Express slowly started and rushed towards the ancient and mysterious Hogwarts. The sun shone in from the window, followed by the rapidly retreating forests and grasslands.

"Come to think of it, we have been talking about Qiu and me just now, and K hasn't introduced yourself yet."

On the speeding train, Baron bought some chocolate frogs and Bebe's Many Flavour Beans to share with the two of them, while asking Avada.

  "Me?"

Avada thought about it and found that there seemed to be nothing worth introducing about him: "I am a Muggle, I have no parents, and I grew up in an orphanage. To be honest, I was shocked when the Hogwarts acceptance letter was thrown on my desk by an owl."

After limited observation and reading, Avada found that other wizards did not seem to be able to directly perceive magic like himself, so he stopped mentioning his magical sense to others.

  "Oh, sorry."

Baron expressed his apology and then asked: "But what's the matter with your name? Professor Dumbledore actually came to you personally to deal with it?"

"Professor Dumbledore?!" Qiu was surprised. She did not hear the initial conversation between Avada and Baron.

  "I don't know either."

Avada lied without blushing, "When Professor Dumbledore came over, he showed me some magic and explained the magical world to me. Then he took me to a place called the Ministry of Magic and talked to the people there for a long time about things I didn't understand. Then he gave me compensation for my name and even went to Gringotts to open a vault..."

Baron and Qiu were even more surprised - what kind of name could alarm Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic at the same time? The Ministry of Magic actually had to pay K a compensation?

And the amount of the compensation was enough to open a vault in Gringotts!

"There may be a big trouble hidden behind your name." Qiu frowned slightly: "Professor Dumbledore is one of the most prestigious wizards in the entire wizarding world. If even he reminds you not to reveal your name to others, it must mean that there is a big problem. It may be something that even Professor Dumbledore may not be able to solve!"

Baron also reminded: "Also, try not to tell others about the compensation. You may not know that owning a vault in Gringotts means that your wealth has exceeded that of most wizards in the wizarding world. In addition, you are a Muggle-born and you are still too young, so it is easy for others to covet you."

"I know, thank you for the reminder." Avada was slightly touched and sincerely thanked the two.

"But you seem to know a lot about the wizarding world. You know about Voldemort (Qiu shuddered slightly), Slytherin, and other magic schools. When we were chatting just now, I didn't realize that you were a Muggle-born." Baron asked curiously.

"Reading." Avada smiled slightly: "In addition to textbooks, I also bought a lot of books about the magical world in Diagon Alley. I have learned almost everything in this month."

As the scenery outside the window quickly receded, the sunlight gradually became dim. After the three of them talked and laughed in the carriage for most of the day, the speed of the train finally slowed down.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train. Someone will take it to your dormitory for you!"

"The 'special person' here refers to the house elves." Baron explained to the two while tidying up his clothes: "It is a creature that serves wizards specifically. They are in charge of the kitchens at Hogwarts. If anyone is lucky enough to be sorted into Hufflepuff, you should be able to see them often."

When the train finally stopped in front of a small platform, it was completely dark and a little cold. Avada shivered with cold. Then a rough male voice was heard shouting:

"First-year students! First-year students, come to my side!

Note: Chinese people did not settle in Britain until the 19th century. A large-scale wave of Chinese immigrants did not appear until the end of World War II, and the proportion of Chinese immigrants to the total population of Britain was extremely small. So it is reasonable to set Qiu's mother as the first Chinese wizard.
