In fact, Elwyn's shock was no less than Malfoy's. He had not expected that he would be able to perform this black magic, nor had he expected that he would succeed.
This black magic that attacked the soul was very profound and complicated. It required an extremely strong magic power and a deep understanding of magic theory as a foundation.
At Elwyn's level, he had thought that it would be impossible for him to cast it.
Even if it was an unintentional success, it also meant that Elwyn's strength had improved greatly recently, but he didn't feel happy at all.
He staggered back to Gryffindor's common room. No matter who spoke to him, he did not hear.
For a long time he sat alone on the sofa in front of the fireplace, thinking about it.
Thinking of the consequences of that black magic, Elwyn realized the fear in his heart.
He kept asking himself, 'Since I knew this would happen, why did I study black magic in the first place?
Given the current situation, he didn't know if he should continue his research according to this line of thought.
If he continued, he might gain great power, but he could not guarantee that he would not lose himself in it and become an evil Dark Wizard like Lord Voldemort.
The temptation of power was sometimes very difficult to choose.
Maybe he should change his mind.
Late at night, apart from Elwyn, Gryffindor's common room was empty.
He stared blankly at the dancing fire in the fireplace, sitting there alone in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and someone came out of the bedroom.
Elwyn turned around and saw Hermione in pink pajamas walking towards him.
"Why haven't you gone to bed?" he asked in surprise.
"I'm worried about you. What happened?" Hermione sat on the sofa beside Elwyn and said worriedly, "You don't look normal tonight. When I said goodnight to you just now, you just nodded."
"I was thinking about something and didn't hear your voice." Elwyn explained.
"What are you thinking about?" Hermione moved closer.
She stared at Elwyn. Under the candlelight, her brown eyes shone with a mesmerizing light.
Looking at Hermione's beautiful and intelligent eyes, Elwyn was slightly absent-minded.
It took him three whole seconds to come back to his senses.
Elwyn was too familiar with Hermione. He knew that she must have noticed something. If he didn't explain it clearly, she wouldn't let it go.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Hermione everything.
Although studying black magic was taboo and should be done in secret, Elwyn did not wish to hide anything from Hermione.
He believed in Hermione. Moreover, he wanted to hear her opinion.
"I just met Malfoy at the stairs. They were going to ambush me!" Elwyn said hesitantly. "Don't worry, Hermione. I'm fine. I used a spell to repel them. It was black magic. It was very profound, very complicated, and at the same time very evil. I didn't think I would be able to cast it successfully! "
"Black magic?!" Hermione raised her head and looked at Elwyn in astonishment. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net w

"You know, I've been studying magic recently. In fact, I've been studying the black magic books that I brought out from the Blake family's library." Elwyn braced himself and said. He noticed that Hermione's expression was getting more and more surprised.
"Oh my god, you're studying black magic?!" Hermione said in disbelief. "I can't believe it. How could you do this? This isn't right. The books say that black magic is very evil and only Dark Sorcerers know it. "
"In order to improve my strength and face the Dark Sorcerers and an uncertain future, it's always good to know more about black magic," Elwyn's voice became softer and softer. He looked at Hermione with a pleading gaze.
"You mean, you're not studying black magic to use it or use the knowledge to do something bad, but to better understand it?"
"That's right, that's it!" Even Elwyn himself felt that this reason was a little complicated.
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, this was indeed what he thought.
From the beginning to the end, Elwyn did not plan to learn or master black magic. The purpose of his research was not to use it.
He did not want to become an evil Dark Sorcerer. Perhaps it was because of the first impression, but Elwyn had always had a deep prejudice and great vigilance against black magic.
However, as an important part of magic, black magic was indispensable. To become a powerful sorcerer, one must study black magic. This was an indispensable part. Only by understanding black magic deeply could one better deal with it. This was also the teaching philosophy that Hogwarts had always adhered to in the Defense Against Black Magic class.
However, it was undeniable that black magic was too powerful, and power came too easily.
As one's research deepened, it was inevitable that he would be tempted and tested.
In the face of these temptations, many people did not hold on to their original intentions and eventually lost themselves in it.
"If it's just simple research and understanding, I don't think it's a problem." Hermione said worriedly, "But it's black magic after all. You have to be careful!"
"I know. In fact, what happened tonight made me realize that I've recently entered a wrong area in magic research. It's very dangerous, and I'm reflecting on it." Elwyn explained, "But I don't know what to do. I've been hesitating."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Hermione looked at Elwyn carefully for a long time. Suddenly, she reached out her small hand and held Elwyn tightly. She said slowly, "I've said it before. No matter what happens, I'll always believe in you. Elwyn, promise me, don't let me down, okay? "
"I promise you, I won't let you down." Elwyn nodded and replied very seriously, "Thank you, Hermione. Thank you for always believing in me!"
Looking at Hermione in front of him, Elwyn finally made up his mind.
On the comfortable sofa in front of the fireplace in Gryffindor's common room, the two of them chatted for a long time. It was not until late at night that Hermione returned to her bedroom to sleep.
When he was alone again, Elwyn took out his recent research notes and threw them into the fire, watching them burn to ashes.
Since the research on black magic was unavoidable, he could not give up on it. However, Elwyn decided to change his research strategy. He was prepared to use these black magic as a foundation to deeply analyze the principles, structure, and many theories involved in black magic. He wanted to research ways to defend against them and increase his own abilities.
By doing so, the difficulty of his research on black magic would increase by a few times.
However, the benefits would be much smaller, and it would not allow Elwyn's abilities to increase rapidly. However, he did not regret it. Just as he had promised, he did not want to let Hermione down.
In Elwyn's memory, Dumbledore had also dabbled in black magic when he was young. He might have faced the same choice.
In the end, he paid a terrible price. His sister lost her life because of this, and he also regretted it and came to his senses.
This was Dumbledore's lifelong regret. Since then, he had been devoting all his efforts to fighting against black magic.
Elwyn reminded himself not to repeat the same mistakes. He did not want to be like Dumbledore, who only knew how to cherish something after losing it, or become a puppet of power like Lord Voldemort.
