Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Lockhart did not leave Hogwarts for the three-week Christmas break. Because of this, Hermione didn't go home, and kept pestering Lockhart. She wanted to move the dormitory to live with Lockhart. She sneaked into Lockhart's dormitory every night, and then the two went to bed without shame. In... the honey is mixed with oil, the oil is water, and the water is melted. Lockhart seems to be taking drugs, and he will stop when he has enough of Hermione's body fluids.

Lockhart is now more and more obsessed with the smell of Hermione, and after Hermione admitted that the box of Ecstasy contained his own blood, he even wanted to suck Hermione's blood to see if it would work. To ease this special **, but I was afraid that I would accidentally turn into a vampire, so I didn't dare to try.

In January, Hogwarts opened again. At this time, Lockhart has once again become the focus of the British wizarding world. He planned to eliminate the Dementors for the Ministry of Magic, and removed a great harm for the whole of Britain. His glorious deeds brought his popularity to a new level.

The Merlin Order had decided to award Lockhart the Order of the First Class, but Lockhart claimed that he did not have time to receive the award, so they kindly mailed the Order with an owl.

Lockhart paid little attention to the fact that Covert was with Hermione after Pandora came home over the Christmas break, which seems to have led to some rumors reaching Pandora's ears. This time Pandora was really angry, no matter how Lockhart explained, she refused to pay him any more, which annoyed Lockhart.

To make matters worse, Harry had overheard his conversation with Draco Malfoy and Snape at the Christmas party. Harry didn't trust him as mindlessly as he used to, but went around telling members of the Order of the Phoenix that Snape and Lockhart were moles who helped the Death Eaters, much to the chagrin of Lockhart - of course , the adults of the Order of the Phoenix will not just listen to Harry's words, let alone Dumbledore knows what is going on.

Lockhart stepped onto the podium with a stern face: "Today, we are going to have a preliminary understanding of the principle of the Cruciatus. Now everyone, open the book, turn to page 130, and read the first two paragraphs about the Cruciatus..."

Lockhart held the podium in his hands and looked at the students below. Malfoy and Pandora were both buried in their books and ignored him; Hermione looked up and stared at him after a while, and Harry glared at him. Lockhart glared back angrily, this kid, the entire Order of the Phoenix is ​​working hard to protect him, he actually suspects one thing in the east and one thing in the west, it's just unreasonable. I don't know how Snape endured Harry's hatred and suspicion for so many years, but Lockhart said he couldn't accept it.

"Student Potter! Answer the principle of the Cruciatus." Lockhart finally understood why Snape was targeting Harry, and he was staring at him so much that he almost subconsciously tapped him to answer the question.

"I don't know, Professor!" Harry answered bluntly.

"Continue reading if you don't know!" Lockhart said angrily. "Because of your improper study attitude, Gryffindor will deduct 10 points! Who can answer this question?"

Hermione raised her hand immediately, and after a few seconds no one raised her hand, Lockhart had to let her answer.

"The principle of the Crucifixion is to stimulate the nerves of people with the spell, so that the person who is hit by the spell feels pain."

"Okay, sit down, Gryffindor will add 10 points." Lockhart nodded helplessly, "The general principle is this, more information is not provided in the book, I can only pass it from some literature and make reasonable assumptions."

"The way the Crucifixion works is to form electrical currents in the victim's nerves and change the neurotransmitters between neurons. Of course, I don't really understand what these are. In short, through the spell, the victim's brain receives Pain information, and then complete the purpose of tormenting him."

Lockhart glanced at Neville subconsciously, and reluctantly continued to explain: "It should be noted that this pain is not an illusion, the human brain does receive the information of pain.

Lockhart took out the prepared cage, which contained a small mouse. "This spell, once abused, was used by the Death Eaters to torture opponents, or when the Veritaserum was exhausted or ineffective. Come and question the captives; the higher-level Death Eaters use this to punish their errant subordinates, of course, the most common thing is to walk down the street and see whoever is unhappy and give it to someone, it is really dark times..."

"Now I'll show you guys."

The students below became noisy all of a sudden, and all raised their heads to look at the lecture table. The poor white rat didn't know that he had become a test subject, holding something in the corner and nibbling on it.

Lockhart pointed his wand carefully at it: "Gouging out the bone."

"Squeak—" The little mouse ran frantically in the cage, but then found that he couldn't get rid of the pain, and squatted in a corner screaming and shaking in pain.

"Professor..." "Stop!" "Don't do it!"

The rat's scream caused an uproar, and the students stopped Lockhart from continuing to demonstrate.

"Looks miserable, doesn't it." Lockhart stopped, "but I didn't mean anything to that rat, so it probably just felt like a pinprick. There's something magical about gouging a bone. ——The more hostile the caster is to the target, the more obvious its effect will be. There are two speculations at present. The mainstream view is: in the incantation of the heart, what works is the malice contained in it, and the magic is just the carrier, Therefore the effect of the Cruciatus is only affected by the strength of the malicious intent."

Lockhart took down the cage with the mice and saw that the students below didn't move. Lockhart reminded: "Write it down." After waiting for a few seconds, Lockhart continued, "There is another point that has been raised recently. It is believed that it is magic that stimulates people's nerves, but the malice of the caster will increase the stimulation of magic. Both views are supported by some experimental results, and it is not easy for me to draw conclusions. "

When the following students finished memorizing, Lockhart continued to explain: "As we said just now, the pain caused by the Cruciatus Mantra is not an illusion. Although the human body is not injured, the pain is real, and the pain can theoretically cause death... …”

"So the brain, in order to protect itself, sometimes makes people dizzy or even crazy to avoid death..." Lockhart looked at Neville and saw that he clenched his fists. Lockhart nodded slightly at him to show comfort. "We don't need to learn the Cruciatus, to know that even Aurors can only legally use the Unforgivable Curse of Death and Imperius when dealing with cases - anyone, under any circumstance, can It is illegal for people to use the Cruciatus!"

Lockhart's last sentence suddenly raised his voice, which startled some deserted students.

"Abusing the Cruciatus can change people's temperament greatly, which is one of the reasons why it is an unforgivable spell, but all spells themselves are innocent, the problem is the person who uses the spell... But anyway, in this kind of battle, A spell that is almost useless and can only be used to torture people, in fact, it has no meaning in existence."

"But it's been around, it's not gone away, so—how do we deal with the Cruciatus?"

The students sitting below have listened to Lockhart's lessons for several years, and they are clear about Lockhart's routine: "Don't give the enemy a chance to cast spells on you!" "Don't get caught!" "First hit the opponent Down!" All sorts of responses emerged.

"Well, you're right, each academy adds 10 points." Lockhart nodded, "It's the best way not to give the other party a chance to torture you. Then, what if you get caught."

"At this time, remember that courage is shown in battle, not at this time." Lockhart said seriously, "Especially the little guys in Gryffindor listen carefully, once they are hacked The wizard catches, when he's going to use the Cruciatus against you, don't taunt him, don't provoke him, don't say any nonsense. 'Ah, it doesn't hurt at all!', 'A little more magic, haven't you eaten?' , 'Let the Cruciatus come harder.' That sort of thing, it's all a fool's word!"

Although Lockhart was in such a bad mood that he had a stern face, his vivid demonstration still aroused laughter from the students.

"The only correct thing to do at this time is to run Occlumency at full strength, to exclude as much pain as possible from the sensation, and to hold on for as long as possible. After all, rescue is still possible." Lockhart pressed his hand and signaled. Quiet, "If you think your acting skills are good enough, it's best to pretend that you're on the verge of being tortured to death, and if possible, try to escape while the other party loses vigilance - of course, I haven't heard of anyone who managed to escape. , except in fiction."

"I very much hope that all of you will never encounter the opportunity to be used the Cruciatus in your life, but you still have to do your homework..." Lockhart closed the textbook, "Which view do you support about the principle of the Cruciatus? And why. Write a paper. Of course, if you have a more novel idea, you are welcome, no matter how bizarre an idea, as long as it is supported by evidence, it may be correct.”
