Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Chapter 278: A Unique Lesson

There was silence under the podium.

Everyone was stunned by Moody's speech.

What he said was actually correct. For a long time, these teenagers who hadn't experienced Voldemort's time really didn't have a correct understanding of dark wizards.

Although every elder around them is constantly instilling in them the concept of how terrible the dark wizard is, how cruel the Death Eaters are, and how vicious the three unforgivable curses are.

But until you feel it yourself, no matter how much you hear these words, you will not feel the truth.

"Before I teach you how to deal with the most vicious black wizard, you must know what kind of existence a black wizard is." Moody's smile gradually narrowed, but his expression became more ferocious, "I won't be like Others described it to you in words or words, but it turns out that such behavior is useless at all. So I decided to let you see with your own eyes, the most representative curses in black magic, the three unforgivable curses!"

Perhaps it was due to having received the news from Gryffindor a long time ago and had made sufficient psychological preparations. After Moody announced this, the students in the audience did not react too much, only a few timid students The body began to tremble slightly.

The wand in Moody's hand moved slightly, and three beakers flew out of the box, and finally fell upside down on the lectern.

Each beaker contained a live spider, and at the moment they looked very energetic, frantically pawing at the smooth and transparent walls of the beaker.

After doing all this, Moody's flexible magic eye swiveled around, and finally his eyes rested on Mike.

"McTownley!"

Moody pronounced Mike's full name emphatically, but Mike didn't stand up immediately like those students who were called by the professor in the past, but just raised his hand to signal that he heard it.

Moody didn't care either, the magic eye kept scanning back and forth on Mike, and said at the same time:

"I heard that you used the Fiendfyre Curse to burn several thugs to death on the night of the Quidditch World Cup! Now that you have mastered the advanced black magic of the Fiendfyre Curse, I believe you have also learned the Three Unforgivable Curses right?"

Although Moody's words were interrogative sentences, the tone of his voice carried an air of affirmation.

Anyone could already hear the hostility from Moody's words, but Mike asked with a smile as if he didn't hear it:

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting. It's not a big deal to learn black magic or even the Unforgivable Curses. The key to the question is whether the person you are pointing your wand at is not a person full of evil!" Moody said, "I admire you, Mike! Your What you did is very much in line with my appetite! But you are still a bit short of fire, if I was there at that time, I would not have let them die so easily, I would have tortured them with Cruciatus, and made them regret being born in this world !"

Moody's expression became more and more ferocious, which made no one of the young wizards in the audience come forward to say that using the Cruciatus Curse on people would be imprisoned in Azkaban.

"Oh! By the way! Many of you probably don't know what the Cruciatus Curse is?" Moody's ferocious face quickly changed into a kind smile like a Sichuan opera, and he turned back to the podium. Said, "The Cruciatus Curse, one of the three Unforgivable Curses. Its function is very simple, that is torturing! Let me give you the simplest example, the little fat man named Neville Longbottom in Gryffindor, his parents Just being tortured into a fool by the Cruciatus Curse! Okay,

Now let me demonstrate it for you personally! "

After Moody finished speaking, he licked his lips, and couldn't wait to take one of the three beakers away.

"In order for you to look more carefully, I will zoom in on it! Get bigger quickly!"

With an expansion spell, the spider on the podium quickly swelled up, and soon became as big as a puppy.

It struggled desperately, but being controlled by the floating spell in mid-air, it had nowhere to draw its strength.

"Look, little ones! A good show is about to begin!" Moody grinned, and pointed his wand at the giant spider in midair, "Crucio!"

As soon as the words fell, the spider's eight legs, which had been scratching around looking for a point of support, all retracted, clinging to the body. It turned over, and at the same time, its body twitched violently, shaking from side to side.

It didn't make any sound, but if it had vocal organs, it must be screaming desperately at this moment.

"Extreme pain!" Moody's wand was still pointing at the spider, and even moved a little closer while speaking. Immediately, the spider's convulsions became more intense.

"If you know the Cruciatus Curse, you don't need to worry about torturing others. You just need to flick your wand, tsk tsk."

There was no sound under the podium. Although spiders can't speak and don't have as many expressions as humans, everyone still felt how cruel the torture the spider was going through at this moment.

Some timid girls even started crying.

"Shrink quickly."

The sound of chanting the incantation sounded again, and Moody finally stopped torturing the spider, made it smaller and put it back in the beaker.

It's just that the spider, which was still full of vitality, no longer moved after experiencing this short period of less than a minute of torture. It lay motionless on the beaker, looking as if it was dead.

"Okay, let's speed up the learning progress." Moody clapped his hands and gave a crisp applause to attract the students' attention, "I showed you the Cruciatus Curse just now, but in fact the Cruciatus Curse is three The most "kind" of the Unforgivable Curses, at least it won't kill you all at once. Next, what I want to show you is the most familiar spell, the famous Harry Potter once narrowly escaped death under this curse. Oh! You already guessed it, right? Yes! It's the Killing Curse!"

Moody was talking to himself on the podium like a lunatic. It was obvious that no one agreed with him just now, but he was still very excited and opened the second beaker.

Casting the spell this time was obviously more difficult than the Cruciatus Curse last time, because Moody seemed to be brewing emotions, pointing the wand at the spider with his eyes closed and not chanting the spell for a long time.

Just when everyone was wondering about Moody's actions, Moody's eyes suddenly opened, and at the same time, he shouted:

"Avada Kedavra!"

A dazzling green light made people unable to open their eyes, and at the same time, a strong sense of uneasiness swept over them.

When everyone opened their eyes again, the spider had turned over and was lying on its back on the table. There was no scar on its body, but everyone present knew that it was already dead.

Everyone stared blankly at the dead spider, as if in a daze, until a girl couldn't help screaming and then pulled their attention back.

"It's not good." Moody said calmly, "It's very unpleasant, and there is no way to break the spell... Oh, it seems to have it at present. Although the success rate is not high, it is undeniable that the curse brought by oneself A large number of small creatures can indeed make you escape the death curse with a certain probability."

After all, Moody looked at Mike with admiration in his eyes.

Others in the classroom also cast admiring glances at Mike, but Mike didn't feel uncomfortable in this staring ceremony. Instead, he smiled and waved to everyone as a greeting.

"Finally, I will show you the most terrifying and vicious curse among the three Unforgivable Curses, the Imperius Curse."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were raised again.

In their eyes, the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse are already quite vicious curses, and it is hard for them to imagine what a curse that is more vicious than the above two curses looks like.

Moody ignored the terrified stares of the young wizards.

He took the last victim out of the beaker and put it in the palm of his hand.

His movements are so gentle, and his expression is so focused, that it makes people misunderstand whether the hideous spider is his pet or not.

But the next moment, he raised his wand and pointed it at the spider in his palm.

"The soul is out of the body."

Unlike the previous two times, Moody's tone of voice this time was also very gentle.

But as he uttered the incantation, a small ball of spore powder, but more illusory and harder to see, was sprayed out from the tip of his staff with almost completely transparent mist, directly covering the spider inside.

Immediately, the spider, which was lying quietly in Moody's palm, began to sway as if drunk.

But then, Spider's figure regained its stability, and he also started a tap dance in Moody's palm.

"See, it's completely under my control. This is the power of the Imperius Curse."

Moody's eyes were fixed on the spider in his hand, his face was expressionless, and his tone of voice seemed to be dreaming.

Everyone under the podium was relieved.

They felt that they had received enough stimulation today, so they were very glad that the last spell didn't look so cruel and bloody.

These actions were all seen by Moody's magic eye.

He suddenly raised his head as if he had been insulted, and said with a smirk:

"Don't you think it's not that scary?"

Everyone under the podium dared not answer, and Moody didn't care, and emphasized again:

"Please note that its behavior is now completely under my control!"

While speaking, the spider stopped dancing and started rolling around in Moody's palm.

"That is, I can make it do anything, like... this."

After saying that, the spider stopped rolling, and stretched its long legs into its mouth... and began to chew.

Everyone, including Mike, gasped.

But Moody obviously didn't intend to stop just like that, the little spider was still eating.

When one leg is finished, replace it with another.

In the end, all eight legs were eaten.

It lost its long legs and couldn't keep its balance, rolling like a maggot in Moody's palm. But it still didn't want to stop, the pair of black mouthparts were desperately leaning against its belly, but the hard exoskeleton stuck its neck, making it unable to succeed.

"Many years ago, many wizards were controlled by the Imperius Curse." Moody's expression became a little sad, "It was really a bad time, the most basic trust between people was lost, and you couldn't guarantee the same Will the people you get along day and night raise their magic wand at you the next moment?

The Imperius Curse can be resisted, and I will teach you the method later, but it requires a strong personality, and not everyone can master it. So, you guys better try to avoid getting hit by it and stay alert at all times! "

Moody suddenly yelled, startling everyone.

Mike turned the pen in his hand boredly, while keeping his eyes on the magic clock on the wall.

It's time for get out of class to end, but Moody doesn't seem to have the intention to end get out of class now.

Sure enough, Moody on the stage continued to say after showing everyone the three unforgivable curses:

"Okay, these three curses, Killing Curse, Cruciatus Curse and Imperius Curse are the three unforgivable curses. This is what you have to resist, and this is what I want to teach you to resist. You need to be prepared, The darkness never really left. So you can never relax!

Also, regarding black magic, if you want to get in touch and learn, I will not stop you. I'm not that group of old pedants, I'm very open! Although black magic can affect the mind of the user, and although black magic is defined as evil, it is undeniable that their power is so powerful that it is fascinating!

Sometimes in the face of evil, we must use even more evil means!

But what you need to pay attention to is! The reason why the Three Unforgivable Curses are called the Unforgivable Curses is precisely because those who use these three curses and make mistakes are unforgivable.

If any of you dare to use any of these spells on humans, congratulations, death and Azkaban will be your home forever! "

There was silence under the podium, only the rustling of the quill writing on the parchment could be heard continuously.

Everyone is concentrating on taking notes.

Or just scribbled lines on the parchment and pretended to be taking notes to hide his panic.

But at this moment, Mike was looking at Moody.

Moody looked at Mike still full of admiration.

Mike, on the other hand, was unmoved.

When Moody was speaking the last words just now, although the good eye kept scanning the surroundings, but the magic eye, no matter how Moody turned his head, was tightly locked on Mike's body .

So Mike is almost sure that his last words were speaking to himself.

He was warning himself not to abuse black magic?

Mike felt very ridiculous.

According to the plot of the original book, the man in front of me should be the son of Barty Crouch, the fanatical follower of Voldemort, the little mouse who used bones to reappear in the Quidditch World Cup, but now, he is actually educating Don't abuse black magic yourself?

For the first time, Mike began to doubt Moody's identity.
