Chapter 2

The great wizards who teach the young wizards there are all experts in the control of magical power, or they are master potion-makers and alchemists.

For example, the famous white wizard Dumbledore is a great wizard, and his good friend Nicolas Flamel is an alchemist.

Although the faculty is very powerful, many people are still unwilling to go there.

Because the teaching there is very brutal; they will make students adapt to the Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse in advance, and apart from not allowing students to kill each other, everything else is permitted. In other words, it is a place where only the fittest survive.

"Skuller? No, I won't go."

When Fen heard this name, he shook his head and said.

Kreacher looked somewhat troubled.

"But, Madam..."

Fen interrupted him.

"Kreacher, remember, I am your master now. Mother has passed away, my second brother is missing, and my eldest brother is in Azkaban. You can only and must listen to me."

Upon hearing this, Kreacher slammed his head against the wall, saying,

"Kreacher won't listen to the master, Kreacher is not a good house-elf."

Fen sighed.

"Alright, Kreacher, I'm hungry, go make some food."

Kreacher nodded and was about to leave when Fen suddenly remembered something and said,

"By the way, Kreacher, these few days, go to the Ministry of Magic a few times and look for young house-elves to buy some back."

Kreacher looked somewhat sad but nodded without saying anything and disappeared on the spot.

This is a special magic of house-elves. Generally speaking, the magic that house-elves know is mostly life magic, such as cleaning and cooking, but in fact, the magic that house-elves know goes far beyond these.

House-elves are not naturally occurring creatures; they are the product of a mix of goblin and elf blood. Many years ago, wizards used some blood magic to create these creatures and infused them with the principle of obedience to wizards. Although there are occasionally some outliers, most are good servants to wizards.

In fact, whether it is not going to Skuller or buying young house-elves, Fen has his own plans.

For normal wizard families, if a young wizard can go to Skuller to study, they generally do not refuse.

As mentioned earlier, the entry requirements for that school are very strict. Completing a magical surge before the age of seven indicates that the young wizard has particularly high talent.

And the requirements for special families are even stricter.

Skuller requires families to be part of the Council of Elders, which are generally large families like the Selwyns and the Rookwoods.

Actually, if we look at the family size alone, the Black family does not qualify.

However, the Black family is one of the origins of pure-blood wizard families and has blood ties with most wizard families in the wizarding world.

Moreover, some old members of the Black family are still alive, but they generally do not appear in the secular world or participate in family affairs. Their main focus is on studying magic and the so-called source of magic.

The Black family also has some unique aspects compared to other families.

For example, the Selwyn family, as long as the descendants meet the requirements of Skuller, they will enter to study.

But the Black family is different.

They select the most talented young wizard from each generation to enter Skuller.

The Black family has always been a pure-blood family that marries within, sometimes even within the family, like Fen's father and mother, who are cousins.

Therefore, the most talented one is usually the main line of the family. In fact, the young wizard originally supposed to enter Skuller in this generation was not Fen.

However, in 1978, when he was a month old, he experienced a magical surge, and his extremely powerful talent made the family elders unanimously believe that he could gain the right to enter Skuller and become a member of the family elders.

Speaking of which, it is worth mentioning that the elders of the Black family are those living great wizards who are supported by the family but do not involve themselves in any family matters. They are not allowed to participate in the management of the family from the beginning.

So, Fen was initially deprived of the status of the family heir.

However, who could blame his two brothers for being so capable? One is missing, and the other left home and was expelled from the family, then went to Azkaban.

This gave Fen the power to choose.

If he enters Skuller, the family will be inherited by the young Black girl who was originally supposed to get this spot.

If he does not enter, then that young girl will go to Skuller.

Thinking about it, Fen should have joined Skuller.

But in reality, it is not like that.

This is due to a secret that Fen has carried since birth.

He is not the real young Phineas Nigellus Black.

Or rather, he is the real young Phineas Nigellus Black, but he is not pure.

Fen is a穿越者 (time traveler), and before he traveled, he had watched the Harry Potter movies many times, so he is quite familiar with the progression of this world.

Joining an unfamiliar Skuller is not as good as joining a familiar Hogwarts.

This is one reason. The other reason is the system's golden finger, which is a common trope in time traveler stories.

Fen also has a system that appeared when he had his magical surge.

However, this system is still in the beta testing phase and has not been activated. The activation condition is receiving a Hogwarts acceptance letter.

This is the main reason for Fen's choice.

The system, named "The Strongest Wizard," has only opened one permission for Fen so far, which is the daily task permission.

Completing tasks can earn magic points or gems.

In the Harry Potter world, besides the strength of magic, the amount of magic points also determines one's power.

Therefore, older wizards are generally stronger than young wizards, of course, there are exceptions, such as Fen, whose magic points are about the same as a third or fourth-year student.

This is all due to the tasks he has completed over the past two years.

As for the gems, they are the internal currency of the system. From the system's interface, it can be seen that the system has a mall, something called a "College Chest," and a library.

However, the specific content is unknown.

Over the past two years, Fen has not obtained any gems because his tasks have all been reading various magic books, and the rewards have all been magic points.
