Chapter 116 The God of Reaper (Add more)
Soon, Schelling's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class came on Thursday.This class is taught by Slytherins and Gryffindors together.
The little wizards were in high spirits, and they were looking forward to Moody's class, which was the first time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the past few years.The atmosphere in the classroom was extremely quiet, and everyone took out their "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" and waited.
Soon, they heard Moody's characteristic thumping footsteps coming down the corridor.He entered the classroom, looking as odd and frightening as ever.The young wizards could just see his claw-like wooden foot poking out from under his robes.
"Put these things away." He said gruffly, walking to the edge of the podium with crutches and sat down, "You don't need these textbooks, I don't need these things in class, take them Bring out your wands."
The little wizards put the books in their schoolbags, and they all looked extremely excited.According to past experience, getting out the wand means that this class will be very interesting.
Seconds later, Moody pulled out the roster, shook his long gray head away from his twisted, scarred face, and began to roll the roll.His normal eyes moved down the list, and his magical eyes kept turning around, staring at each student who answered.
When he said Draco's name, he paused visibly, and the eyes of the little wizards all focused on Draco. The conflict between Draco and Moody had spread throughout the school these days.
Draco shrugged indifferently, and raised his hand in response to the roll call.
"Okay!" When the last student finished answering, he said, "I received a letter from your former teacher, and I have a little understanding of your current progress. It seems that you have mastered a lot of basic knowledge on how to deal with black magic animals - you have learned how to deal with Boggarts, Red Hats, Hinkpunk, Grindylo and Kabbah, and you have also learned about vampires and werewolves. But in terms of how to deal with spells, you have not learned enough. .”
"So... do any of you know, which spells are the most severely punished by the wizarding law?"
No one answered in class, even Hermione, who was most active in answering questions on weekdays, chose to remain silent.The little wizards focused their attention on Xie Lin, expecting him to answer this question.
"Little Malfoy, answer!" Moody said, and after confirming that no one answered, he called Schelling's name directly.
"Professor, the Ministry of Magic prohibits wizards from using a lot of spells. There are about tens of thousands of legal documents that are still being enforced, and there are tens of thousands of spells involved." Schelling replied, "But the most famous ones are definitely black magic—such as magic for summoning undead, for example, curse magic for the spirit system, for example, magic for transforming bloodlines in the body, and..."
"In addition, the Ministry of Magic also has quite strict management over space magic, such as the traceless stretching spell that can expand the internal space, such as the door key spell that can teleport people to distant places..."
There was no sound in the classroom, and everyone looked at Xie Lin in surprise, opening his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg.
They seemed to realize that Schelling knew so much.In the past, they only knew that Xie Lin was very powerful, but no one had a clear idea of how strong it was and how powerful it was.
Except for the few closest people in Slytherin, most young wizards generally believed that he could compete with the seniors who were a year or two older than him at most, but he was definitely not an opponent of the 7th grade students.But seeing Xie Lin's performance today, saying so many unheard of black magic in one breath, all the little wizards in the classroom gasped and looked at Xie Lin in disbelief.
"Come on, grandstanding," Ron said in a low voice, "I don't believe Hermione is worse than him when it comes to erudition..."
Hermione looked at Xie Lin with a very complicated expression. She didn't know when it would start. She had already given up the idea of competing with Xie Lin. The speed of this young man's progress was neither scientific nor magical.
He is rich in knowledge and exquisite in skills, and his use of magic is even more ingenious and brilliant. The most outrageous thing is that he does not look like a nerd at all. Although he does not participate in sports activities, he joins two academic societies, and he still has free time to organize spell exchanges, publish academic papers, establish alchemy workshops, and speak for international organizations...
With so many achievements concentrated on one person, Hermione thought that even if she had a time-turner, she would never be able to catch up with him.
Moody was also very surprised when he heard Schelling go on and on.
None of what Schelling said was the answer he wanted, but it wasn't wrong.He knew that he had to stop the other party. If Schelling was allowed to continue, he could talk for a whole class. Not to mention the black magic demonstration, everyone would have to walk out in a daze.Finally, Moody interrupted Schelling to give Slytherin ten points for his good performance.
"Mr. Malfoy is very good, but I think your top priority is to understand the three major spells commonly used by dark wizards, the so-called Unforgivable Curses." Moody said, "Okay, who can tell me, what are the three major Unforgivable Curses?"
"Well, it's like that," said Ron tremblingly, "my dad told me about a... called the Imperius Curse or something, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Weasley!" Moody said appreciatively. "Your father must have known about the spell. I think the Imperius Curse caused a lot of trouble for the Ministry of Magic back then."
He stood up with difficulty on his prosthetic leg, opened the drawer of the podium, and took out a glass bottle.Three big black spiders crawled inside.Moody reached into the bottle, grabbed a spider, and held it in his outstretched palm for all to see.Then he pointed his wand at it and murmured, "Out of body!"
The spider jumped away from Moody's palm, dangling a filament, and began to swing back and forth, as if sitting on a high swing.It straightened its legs stiffly, then turned around and rolled somersaults, the filament snapped.It hit the table and started somersaulting in circles.Moody flicked his wand, and it stood up on its hind legs again, doing a kind of tap dance, yes, a tap dance.
Most of the young wizards laughed.
"You think it's funny, don't you?" Moody asked gruffly. "Would you like it if I did it to you?"
The laughter disappeared almost immediately.
"It's completely under my control," Moody said softly—and the spider scrambled up and started rolling around. "I can make it jump out of the window, or drown itself, or jump into the throat of one of your classmates... The Imperius Curse can be resisted, and I'll show you how, but it requires a lot of personality, and not everyone can master it. You'd better avoid it as much as possible, and stay alert!" Moody suddenly yelled, startling everyone.
"Anyone else know what spell? Two Unforgivable Curses left?"
Next, Neville stood up and said the Cruciatus Curse.Moody demonstrated the spell again for everyone, on the spider.
"Okay... does anyone else know the spell?"
Draco replied, his voice unemotional, "It's the Killing Curse, Professor - the fabled one-hit-kill spell."
"Ah," Moody's eyes were fixed on Draco, "yes, this is the last and most powerful spell. Avada Kedavra...a spell only for killing."
He reached into the glass bottle, and the third spider, as if aware of its impending doom, scrambled desperately around the bottom of the bottle, trying to avoid Moody's finger, but he caught it anyway and set it down on the podium.
"Avada!" Moody yelled.
A dazzling green light pierced people's eyes, and there was a sound of rapid gas flow, as if an invisible giant flew through the air-at the same time, the spider turned over and lay on its back on the table. There was no injury on its body, but it was undoubtedly dead.A few students fought back the urge to yell; Ron slammed back and nearly fell off his seat as the spider slid towards him.
A brilliant light flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, just now he saw——
Just as Moody said the spell, as there was a whistling sound in the air—
Schelling saw death!
It was a monster that looked like a Dementor. The difference was that this monster—whether it was Death or something—was more like an amorphous mass of gas that could fly through the air like a fluid or cloud. As it passed through a spider like a black wind, Schelling saw a soul-like energy being harvested and swallowed by it.
Is this the essence of the Killing Curse?
Where did the devoured soul energy go in the end?
There are too many unsolved magic in this world!
"It's not nice," said Moody quietly. "Unpleasant, and there's no cure for it, no way to resist it. As far as anyone knows, there's only one person who's escaped the spell, and he's sitting before me right now."
Everyone knows that the man he's talking about is Harry.Moody's eyes met Harry's, and Harry felt himself flush.He could feel the whole class turning to look at him.
"The Avada Kedavra curse requires a strong magical power as a foundation. Even if all of you are chanting this spell to me at this moment, I suspect that I will only get a little nosebleed at most." Moody said, his magic eyes flicked across everyone's terrified faces, "But that's okay, I'm not here to teach you how to use the Kedavra curse."
"Then why am I showing you this, since there is no breaking the spell? Because you have to know something. You have to be fully aware of what's worst. You don't want to find yourself in the situation you're in now. Be on your toes!" he roared, startling the class again.
"Well, these three spells—Avada Kedavra, Imperius, and Cruciatus—are collectively known as the Unforgivable Curses. Using any one of them on another human being is enough to send you to prison for life. This is what you may face. This is what I'm going to teach you to resist. You need to be prepared. You need to have the knowledge of this. But most importantly, you need to be vigilant at all times and never relax. Take out the quill... and write this down..."
For the rest of the class, the students were busy taking notes on the three Unforgivable Curses.
The classroom was quiet, no one spoke until the bell rang for the end of get out of class.When Moody announced that the get out of class was over, as soon as the students left the classroom, all kinds of discussions suddenly surged like a flood that burst.Most of the classmates talked about the spells in awe.
"Did you see the way the spider twitched?"
"He killed the spider in one shot - easy as that!"
Draco stopped Xie Lin who was about to leave the classroom, and Xie Lin had to signal Daphne to leave first.
"Schelin, do you understand the Unforgivable Curse?" Draco looked at Schelling seriously.
"I understand some theory," Xie Lin shrugged, "but I think it's better not to touch these black arts. Learning black arts will only distort our character, and eventually become a slave to power. No matter how powerful we are, that person is no longer us, what do you think?"
Draco was silent.
"Okay," Xie Lin turned around and waved his hands, "I still have something to do, let's take a step first." After saying that, he left cleanly, leaving Draco alone in thought.
