Chapter 294 Hufflepuff’s Confusion

"Is it really okay?!" After receiving Les's sudden invitation, both Daphne and Astoria entered a state of disbelief.

"Professor White only invited you after all..." After the excitement passed, Astoria was still a little uneasy.

"It's no problem, just go." Les knew his old friends too well, and she would never complain that there were too many people coming to enjoy the food.

Unlike the Rice trio who were immersed in the upcoming dinner, the students in the auditorium were more focused on what Professor White said in class yesterday. The topic of black magic is always the most sensitive.

The professors on the faculty bench were no exception. As soon as Hufflepuff sat down, the professors set their eyes on her. Professor Sprout spoke first. She had a good impression of this old man who was good at food magic, and naturally she didn't want to see her get into trouble.

"Professor White, I heard rumors that you said in class that you should practice black magic. This must be a misunderstanding, right?"

The facts Helga stated made it difficult for the other professors to refute. Then Dumbledore, who had remained silent, spoke.

The modern magic world has become very secretive about black magic. Among the famous magic schools in the world, only Durmstrang is openly tolerant of black magic.

"Smith, in your era, the three unforgivable curses were not yet popular, right?"

What Dumbledore didn't say was that he actually agreed with White's remarks to some extent.

She lived in an era where the practicality of magic came first. It would be damned if these flashy spells could become popular.

They were sure that once the news got out, it would cause an uproar. Even though many of the students' parents were Death Eaters who were fond of black magic, they would definitely be the first to show up to do the cutting.

Having lived for more than a hundred years, he has a broader view. He is very aware of the gap between wizards in the 1940s and modern wizards. In half a century, the combat abilities of wizards have deteriorated drastically. Everyone seems to prefer to focus on life-type magic, but the cleaning spell cannot fight against the dark wizards.

"But as far as I know, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were once authorized to use the Unforgivable Curses, so it is still necessary to understand dark magic."

The reason why modern dark wizards study the Unforgivable Curse is because these three spells are evil enough! ! ! Power and other things are just added to the head. What he said before was really not wrong. Modern dark wizards really have brain problems - literally.

In Helga's mind, her old friend Salazar Slytherin can actually be called a dark wizard, but he and the dark wizards in the modern magical world are completely different species - apart from the same name, the other two Nowhere is similar.

"In my time, many wizards had concerns about dark magic, and I was the same." Helga's next words silenced all the professors: Pomona handed over two obvious steps, but White The professor just refuses to do it, so this is going to be troublesome.

The events that happened at Hogwarts in recent years gave Dumbledore a sense of crisis, so he decided to relax his control on dark magic a little to prepare for emergencies.

Hufflepuff nodded. In her opinion, except for the Soul Imperius Curse, these three spells were a bit useless. The Cruciatus Curse is purely for torture and has no other uses - if you want to get someone to confess, a wizard has better options.

If you want to fight the dark wizard, you must know something about black magic! It would definitely not work for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to teach no black magic at all as he had done in the past few years. This is why he did not stop Professor White.

"That's not surprising." Dumbledore nodded: "The three unforgivable curses can only be activated when driven by strong negative emotions. For example, the use of the Cruciatus Curse requires the caster to be extremely arousing. The effect can only be achieved when the other person's painful desire is used as pleasure. If such a spell is often released, it will have a very bad impact on the human soul."

"Smith, your idea is indeed a bit extreme, but it is indeed necessary to let children understand black magic." Dumbledore finally came to a muddy conclusion.

Hufflepuff: ...

Damn it, why do the dark wizards of your era like to use such amazing spells that have no effect and have huge negative effects? Can you learn from Salazar and use some powerful spells that do little damage to yourself?

After thinking about this, Hufflepuff fell silent, and then sighed heavily: I didn't expect that even the dark wizards in the magical world would regress to this point after a thousand years...

Dumbledore's eyes passed over Helga's face, and he had a hint of understanding: In Ms. White's eyes, we have also regressed a lot, right? I really don’t know what the magical world was like hundreds of years ago...

Before entering Hogwarts, although she had conducted an investigation into the contemporary wizarding world, how could the tips for casting the Unforgivable Curse be recorded in detail in those books available on the market? Therefore, Hufflepuff's understanding of the Unforgivable Curse only exists in its name and effects. Her old friend Les was a little further along than she was. He had seen the Killing Curse after all.

For the first time, Hufflepuff felt the fragmentation of the times.

This question stunned all the professors present. After thinking for a while, they came to a common conclusion: because they are dark wizards, isn't it normal to use such evil spells?

Hufflepuff:? ? ?

She couldn't figure out the logic for a while: Why would a dark wizard use such an extremely inefficient spell? Is there something wrong with their brains?

Her eyes passed over the face of Les who was enjoying breakfast happily in the audience, and then she realized something.

Just when the professors thought that the matter was settled, Smith White spoke again. She asked in a confused tone: "Since the negative effects of these three magics are so great, why do those dark wizards still use them? ? In terms of power, they don't seem to be very strong - except for the soul-stealing curse."

The direct death effect of the Killing Curse sounds very powerful, but in Helga's eyes, it is just funny: does a spell that has no tracking effect and can be avoided by moving really deserve to be called the Unforgivable Curse? The spells invented by his old friend Salazar Slytherin were much more "unforgivable" than Avada Kedavra.

Opposing black magic is political correctness in the modern magical world. Helga and Les's actions are bold - but because Helga's goal is relatively large, most people have not noticed what Les has done in this storm. roles played.

What shocked Sprout was that Professor White actually nodded and acknowledged the "accusation" against him. At this time, the kind-hearted Hufflepuff witch couldn't sit still, and she said to Helga with a serious look: "Maybe the laws in your era were different from now, but we are strict about black magic here. forbidden."
