Chapter 122 My Will
There isn't much new in the second week of school.
On Thursday, in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Moody announced that he would cast the Imperius Curse to each student in turn, to demonstrate the spell's power and see if they could resist its effects.
As soon as he said his words, there was a bang in the classroom, and all kinds of discussions suddenly surged like a flood that burst.
Casting the Unforgivable Curse on another wizard is punishable by life in prison, and the little wizards didn't expect Moody to dare to do that.
Moody didn't pay attention, but began to call the students to take turns to come forward and recite the Imperius Curse to them.
Under the influence of the spell, the students made the most abnormal behavior one after another.
Blaise bounced around the classroom three times, Pansy imitated a squirrel, and Neville performed a series of amazing gymnastic moves that he would never have been able to do in his normal state.None of them seemed to be able to resist the spell, and they all returned to normal after Moody removed the spell.
"Draco Malfoy," said Moody in a booming voice, "it's your turn."
Draco shrugged and walked to the middle of the classroom.Moody raised his wand, pointed at Draco, and said, "Out of body!"
Schelling noticed—a second before Moody recited the spell, a green glow flashed in Draco's eyes, and black air began to emerge from his body again, and his whole temperament changed drastically, becoming much more sinister.
The Imperius Curse had no effect on Draco.Draco stood still, looking at Moody with a half-smile.
What Xie Lin saw was that the black air was like a smart dragon flying around Draco's brain. At the moment when the Imperius Curse was cast, the black air replaced Draco and was dispersed by the Imperius Curse.
Draco smiled contemptuously, "Professor Moody, it seems that the Imperius Curse is not as hard to resist as you said!"
The audience fell into silence.Moody frowned deeply. To be honest, he didn't expect this result at all.
He had thought that Draco might be able to resist the Imperius Curse with willpower, and the two might even wrestle with the will to control the mind, but he never thought that the Imperius Curse would be directly ineffective.He didn't say anything, waved Draco to go back to his seat, and called out the name of the next person on the list.
The next person was Schelling.
Xie Lin showed a confident smile and walked to the center of the classroom with his head held high.
Imperius Curse?Xie Lin sneered secretly in his heart, let you see my will!
Although Xie Lin has never actually used the Imperius Curse, his understanding of the Imperius Curse can surpass this fake Moody by dozens of blocks.
The real principle of the Imperius Curse is to use magic to paralyze the cerebral cortex and frontal lobe of the human brain, making the subject lose their reason, logic and decision-making ability, and thus be dominated by external factors that affect emotions.To put it simply, people who have lost their ability to make independent decisions will have a pleasant feeling of obeying external orders, and can't help but want to continue indulging in the emotions brought about by obedience.
The most effective way to counter the Imperius Curse is not Occlumency.The part closed and hidden by Occlumency is actually human emotion (author: the limbic system), rather than cognitive, rational and logical abilities.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Occlumency is completely ineffective against the Imperius Curse.By practicing Occlumency, people can have a stronger control over their emotions, and their emotions are not easily influenced by the outside world.
To fight against the Imperius Curse, what is needed is a stronger emotion and a stronger will!
When Moody said "Soul Out of Body", Schelling first felt his thoughts and worries swept away, and in a corner of his mind, a light-hearted sense of pleasure seemed to be born, but in the next second, Meredith's face flashed in Schelling's mind, a burst of fiery anger rose, and the extremely cold reason and calm returned to Schelling.
Schelling smiled, "Professor Moody, if it's just this level of magic, it doesn't seem as scary as you said! Is it really necessary for us to learn to resist this spell in the fourth grade?"
Professor Moody's face was ugly, and he failed twice in a row, which made him unable to continue this kind of education. He had sworn before that how important it is to learn to resist the Imperius Curse, and he exaggerated the power of the Imperius Curse. Even a large number of experienced adult wizards suffered from it. As a result, they were beaten in the face twice in a row. Now it is estimated that in the eyes of other young wizards, the Imperius Curse is the same thing.
He said with difficulty: "In this case, let's learn this first today." He continued, "Both Mr. Malfoy successfully resisted the Imperius Curse and completely overcame it! You can ask them for their experience, so that others can't easily control you."
The rest of the class was spent in a weird atmosphere, the classroom was quiet and no one spoke.
Moody sat on a chair next to the podium, his face was cloudy, as if he was thinking about something.
The other little wizards didn't dare to ask questions, they were all lowering their heads to take notes on resisting the Imperius Curse.
It wasn't until the bell rang for the end of get out of class that Moody announced that get out of class was over and left the classroom, and everyone resumed talking.
The little wizards of Slytherin surrounded Schelling and Draco, demanding that they must share their know-how.Although the little lions of Gryffindor were envious, they did not dare to ask them rashly.
Schelling looked around at the expectant little wizards, then looked at the corner where the little Gryffindor wizards gathered, and said indifferently: "Since Professor Moody wants us to learn this skill, I don't want to keep it secret. If you are interested in Gryffindor students, you can come and listen. Of course, it's all voluntary, not forced."
The little lions of Gryffindor may not be interested in boring knowledge, but they are quite curious about this kind of magic related to combat. Almost everyone surrounded them, and they consciously stood behind Slytherin.
Xie Lin said loudly: "Let me tell you! There is actually no secret to resist the Imperius Curse, the main thing is willpower. Can anyone tell me what is willpower?"
Everyone fell into silence. Everyone understood the literal meaning of willpower, but it is not that simple to clearly state the essence of willpower.
"Thanks—" Hermione said, "Oh, I mean, Malfoy, does willpower mean that you use reason to fight subconscious desires?"
As expected of Hermione, she answered clearly and logically.
Schelling glanced at Hermione, and Hermione and his eyes briefly exchanged for a few seconds. Hermione was a little scared at first, but she tried her best to cheer herself up, so she looked at Schelling firmly, without flinching in her eyes.
The corners of Xie Lin's mouth raised slightly, it seems that in the past summer vacation, it was not just him who grew up!
Then he glanced at Ron again, well, it seems that nothing has changed, he still looks like that little kid.
"Student Granger is right," Xie Lin praised, "I personally have another understanding - will is consciousness, it is something that a person is willing to give up for his own goals, such as giving up sleep and playing in order to get good grades For example..." Xie Lin's eyes were shining brightly, but his voice suddenly became low, "In order to protect the people around me, I have to give up a friendship..."
Xie Lin purposely didn't look in Hermione's direction, but God's Watching Amaterasu clearly reflected Hermione's red eyes and tightly pursed lips in his mind.
"Before learning to fight against the Imperius Curse, the most important thing is to ask yourself—what is your purpose for learning this? How much are you willing to pay for it?"
"When you have your own awareness, you will have the basis to fight against the Imperius Curse. The purpose of the Imperius Curse is to paralyze our rationality, and then use our emotions to dominate us. The best way for us to fight is to use stronger emotions to get rid of the opponent's control..."
"When someone casts the Imperius Curse, you will feel light and light. You will have a feeling that as long as you let go of your reason, as long as you let go of the control of your body, you will get a certain sense of joy that liberates your spiritual freedom."
"At that time, you just have to think about it. If you are controlled, what will happen to the person or thing you care about most? If you really realize—" Sherring paused, and he couldn't help but think of Meredith's face again. His heart ached, but he said with a blank expression on his face: "You will be angry, you will be unwilling, and you will have a strong, fanatical desire to break free from control..."
"That's how I got rid of the Imperius Curse by relying on my will..."
When Xie Lin came back to his senses, he realized that the young wizards around him were all looking at him in awe.
"Magic is a very idealistic thing," Sherin said lightly, "A wizard's true strength comes from his heart." He glanced at Draco and Hermione, "When you have a real awareness and are willing to gamble everything for it, I personally think that you are already a qualified wizard."
After finishing speaking, he gracefully put on the Yexing cloak, and left in the path that the little wizards voluntarily made way for.
Occlumency is definitely not the best defense against the Imperius Curse.In the original book, Harry didn't learn Occlumency until he graduated, but he successfully resisted Moody's Imperius Curse for the fourth time.
