In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Jon's time on the ship was never idle.

In addition to absorbing all the magic words in the stone slab that Sir Stoker finally gave him as promised, he also spent a lot of time studying the forbidden books stored in the second gem.

Because of the sufficient magic power, almost all forbidden books already have specific contents, which can be consulted by him anytime and anywhere.

Of course, Jon would not sit on such a treasure trove of knowledge and not gain access to it.

Except when something happened on the ship that required him to come forward, he spent most of his time in the library. In addition to reviewing these banned books, he was also trying to handwrite the books that were missing from Hogwarts. come out.

But the reason why a forbidden book is a forbidden book is not just because the knowledge it records is taboo. The existence of many books itself is a rare taboo in the magical world.

This taboo is the prerequisite for carrying taboo knowledge, so many of Jon's attempts failed, but he did not fall behind in learning new magic.

Compared with the vast amount of weird black magic in the forbidden book, Jon was not dazzled. He simply chose the three most famous and widely spread unforgivable curses in the magic world - —Start trying the Death Curse, Cruciatus Curse, and Soul-Tampering Curse.

Side magic may produce miraculous effects in some scenarios, but in most cases, the most practical ones are these three Unforgivable Curses.

It perfectly contains the three effects needed to kill the enemy, torture, and control, and there is no curse removal.

But learning black magic is not just about overcoming its difficulty. When Jon was preparing to learn Shen Feng Wu Ying, he had already reported to Dumbledore that he was planning to expand in the field of black magic.

There is indeed no way around this. Almost all lethal and offensive spells are related to black magic. If you want to learn it, no wizard can avoid it.

Of course, the definition of a black wizard is not a wizard who has learned black magic, but a group of people who have studied black magic deeply and cast curses whenever they disagree.

Dumbledore agreed to Jon's exposure to the dark arts at that time, but also gave a warning.

Regarding his warning, Jon always kept it in mind. The side effect of subtly changing a person's concept is completely difficult to prevent.

Black magic basically involves violence and hurting people, and the emotions required when releasing spells are naturally violent and mixed with malice.

It is precisely because of this form of spellcasting that frequent use of black magic will change a person.

Even if your original intention of hurting someone is revenge, protection or other brighter purposes, it will not change the impact of the emotion itself, otherwise black magic will not be able to be used.

Because of this, Jon was extra cautious when he learned the three unforgivable curses. He kept Nick by his side throughout the process and asked him to observe whether there would be any special changes when he practiced and tried to cast the spells.

But Nick felt that it was unnecessary to be so cautious about him.

"Dark magic does require caution, but there is no need to be so cautious, Jon."

After observing Jon's practice of the Unforgivable Curse for nearly a week without any significant results, Nick finally couldn't help but speak.

"We can think about it from another angle. Black magic can affect a person's personality because when using them, the emotions of wizards are extremely negative. So when you use magic like the Patronus Charm, your emotions are Isn’t it extremely positive?”

Jon stopped practicing. He followed Nick's train of thought and nodded thoughtfully.

Nick continued.

"Whether it is too negative or too positive emotions, it will have a great impact on the wizard's character. But after you use the Patronus Charm, your character becomes that kind of optimist, facing all the challenges. You must first think on the bright side of things, are you full of hope for everything you encounter?"

Jon shook his head.

"Of course not."

"Yes, the Patronus Charm, as the most positive spell, cannot bring about such a change in you, and the effects of the Unforgivable Curse will not be exaggerated either."

Nick said extremely seriously.

"As long as you are a human being, you cannot be happy all the time. Even if a person behaves like a saint and never does any bad things, it does not mean that he has not thought about doing bad things in his heart. This is his negative emotion. Just because People can control their own instincts and thoughts, so some people will be more noble. The Patronus Charm allows you to vent the happiness in your heart, while the Unforgivable Curse allows you to express the resentment, resentment, and anger in your heart in the form of magic. .”

"This does not have to be hidden, it is also one of the most important emotions of a person. What you have to do is not to deny this emotion, but not to let it become the entirety of your emotion. This is a degree of control, but The breaking point is never as easy to reach as you think.”

"I have met many people. In history, many Hogwarts students have privately consulted and learned various black magic in the library. The characteristics of the part of the mind that was affected by the darkness are all very characteristic. Obviously. These people crave power and are addicted to it. The power of black magic makes them unable to extricate themselves. When they argue with others, encounter problems, or break rules, the first thing they think of is to make themselves vicious and evil. Use that powerful force.”

"These people are veritable dark wizards. Black magic and the emotions it represents have become everything in their lives. They have no self. They are not controlling magic, but magic is controlling them."

"But you obviously won't be like this, Jon. You have also learned the magic blade before. When you encounter any problem, the first thing that comes to your mind is whether you are going to use this magic to cut the problem in half. ?”

"Since you have learned Shen Feng Wu Ying and have not had such thoughts, what are you worried about about the Unforgivable Curse? After you learn the Life Curse, the first time you encounter any obstacles, you will Do you immediately think of using the Death Curse to solve it first? It will only become one of your means to solve the problem, not the only one."

Nick looked at Jon with certainty.

"So, have more confidence in yourself, learn boldly, and mobilize the emotions when you are the most angry and want to kill people. This is what the Unforgivable Curse requires. This emotion cannot be everything to you, but it will definitely It existed, right?”
