Chapter 44: Promise at the end of the school year

The reason why the Unforgivable Curse is unforgivable is because the emotions required to cast it are very extreme.

The extremely determined desire to kill someone, torture someone, and control someone, to have such an idea and put it into reality, is the real reason for casting the Unforgivable Curse and going to Azkaban.

Therefore, it is normally impossible to cast a curse like the Cruciatus Curse on a stone, unless a person has a firm intention to torture the stone.

Adam looked at Bernard who was suddenly embarrassed and said calmly:

"If you find a cockroach or a Flobber caterpillar, I won't be so confident about you."

He even allowed himself to have tortured thoughts about a stone rather than looking for a living creature...

"I...I was leaving a way out for myself!"

Bernard's neck:

"If you had reported me at that time, you would have used the Flashback Curse to find out that I never used the Cruciatus Curse at all!"

Flashback spells will reappear the object of the spell, and stones are obviously not one of them.

"Then why didn't you leave yourself a way out this time?"

Looking at Bernard who was speechless, Adam smiled slightly:

"Would you want to do this kind of test? In the end, it was you who had such pure emotions first, right? Otherwise you wouldn't care so much about using such a costly way to test our friendship for you. You can just use your own A way that won’t be affected…”

Seeing that Bernard was getting angry, Adam immediately changed the subject:

"Your method of 'leaving a way out' is actually still in the legal system of ordinary people, and the Muggle police have limited methods of collecting evidence. But wizards not only have veritaserum, they even have pensieves that can reproduce memories - our principal's There is one in the office - don’t think of using a similar method in the future, or you may get into trouble.”

Bernard was stunned and nodded:

"Speaking of which, what are the Dementors and Wizengamot you mentioned before?"

"Dementors are the jailers of Azkaban, a kind of..."

Because they got a little carried away while chatting, the two of them felt awkward looking at their wrinkled fingers while they were getting dressed.

Back in the dormitory, just when the roommates were wondering why they took so long to wash, Bernard took the initiative to talk to everyone about what happened during the day.

The roommates all showed similar expressions to Adam's when he first heard the reason.

I don’t quite understand, but…

I want to say that I can forgive them, but Bernard's use of the Cruciatus Curse to protect them during the day didn't seem to be something that needed to be forgiven.

"It's better not to do such exciting things next time."

Uther sighed helplessly:

"Don't use the Unforgivable Curse until it's a real life-or-death situation."

Adam's eyes towards Uther changed slightly, "Good boy, why do you sound a little bit like a prisoner?"

No one mentioned that incident after that day, and in a blink of an eye it was the end of the school year dinner. During this period, the only news about Harry was that he missed the final Quidditch final, which resulted in Slytherin still winning the title. Diqi cup.

In addition to the house points deducted from Gryffindor due to Harry and others, there is no doubt that this year's House Cup will still fall into the hands of Slytherin...?

"Don't worry about it yet, how about a taro pie?"

At the teacher's table, Professor Dumbledore announced the current scores of the four houses, while Adam was handing out snacks to his roommates. After giving them to his roommates, Adam also stuffed one into the hands of Cedric, who looked regretful, and it was hot. It looks like it was just released.

Cedric took a bite while it was still hot. The dense taro paste inside and the crispy outer shell complemented each other, which made him feel a lot happier.

Delicious, I recommend putting it on the shelves.

Before he could give Adam any feedback, Cedric saw Professor Dumbledore's performance.

"Yeah, yeah, good behavior, Slytherin."

After applauding a few times for the temporary number one in the house, Professor Dumbledore smiled kindly and continued to speak when the Slytherins gradually had a bad premonition:

"However, several recent events must also be taken into account..."

"...50 points for Gryffindor!"

"...Gryffindor adds 60 points!"

"...10 more points for Gryffindor!"

…

During the dinner, the Slytherins were in a daze, especially because the golden and red decorations around them were too dazzling under the candlelight.

"What happened?"

One Slytherin couldn't help but ask.

"Damn Dumbledore, he is blatantly partial!"

His classmate stabbed his fork into the ribs in front of him angrily.

"Shut up, didn't you see that Professor Snape didn't say anything?"

The classmate's words did not attract everyone's agreement, but instead drew a blank stare.

If Professor Dumbledore really just gave points to those Gryffindors out of selfish motives, how could Professor Snape allow it?

"But...he didn't say anything clearly at all!"

This is what makes the Slytherins the most angry. The way to add 170 points, if it is made clear, maybe they can also...

In this regard, Adam said that children, you should not think about such beautiful things, otherwise your parents will be in danger when Voldemort is resurrected.

Although Gryffindor won the final victory of the Academy Cup, the only unhappy person in the entire auditorium was Slytherin - no way, who made them so hated when they won the Academy Cup before.

"Cheers~"

For example, Adam and his friends clinked their glasses with colorful soda to celebrate Slytherin's loss of the House Cup.

After the year-end dinner, everything was fine. The whole Hogwarts was immersed in the atmosphere of the holiday. The only episode was probably the report card was issued on the last day of Hogwarts.

"Oh my God, Adam, you are really a monster--"

Colon jumped up behind Adam and looked at him, then wailed:

"Everyone is sleeping in class! How can you get an O in History of Magic!"

Eugene patted Colon's shoulder to comfort him, but after hearing this, he looked down at the History of Magic with an O on the report card and silently withdrew his hand.

It's better not to continue to stimulate him...

Even if none of the five people in the dormitory failed, it was a bit outrageous for Adam to get an O in all the subjects, so the other four people pressed him to make a delicious meal to comfort them.

So they had hot pot that night, at the round table in the dormitory.

Although the four people complained about Adam's laziness, this way of cooking whatever you want to eat was surprisingly popular.

"Then we have a deal."

After putting the shrimp paste into the hot pot, Uther looked at the other four people:

"Come to Egypt to visit me during this holiday~"

"We'll try our best."

Although everyone nodded, they still couldn't decide on their own about going abroad.

It's not about money. None of the five people present have a lack of money, but their parents can't spare the time. They can't fly to Egypt by themselves.

"If it doesn't work, I'll ask my dad to negotiate with the British Ministry of Magic..."

"It's better not to trouble your dad."

Adam stretched out his hand to stop Uther from thinking further. His father is the Minister of Magic in Egypt. It's better not to take it to the diplomatic level when a few children travel abroad.

"Let's go back and negotiate with our parents - at least one of my parents should be able to spare time. At the very least, I can ask my grandparents to take me. If it doesn't work, everyone will meet up first and let my parents take me along."
