Chapter 913

"I was extremely surprised. "

In the first Defence Against the Dark Arts class in seventh year, Snape taunted the students in his characteristic tone, or rather, a particular student.

"There are still some of you who haven't given up. Wrapped in black robes, Snape looked condescendingly at his students, "If you were to measure this year's by the difficulty of last year's course, you would see that it was a stupid mistake. "

The students looked at each other, Snape was a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts last year, and the students who were allowed to attend the advanced class had "O's", although last year's class was difficult, but it didn't make these excellent students feel difficult, but it seems that this year will be different.

"If you want to defend against the dark arts, you must understand the dark arts. It's a rehash of the same old story, and for someone like Snape who doesn't like to talk nonsense, it's important to see how important it is.

"Last semester you barely met my requirements, but this year, we're going to be exposed to the Dark Arts, and I'm going to teach you how to defend yourself. "

The students were a little excited. Slytherin and Ravenclaw students in particular don't have the same extreme attitude towards the dark arts as Gryffindor. At Hogwarts, 7th year students are exposed to the Dark Arts and learn specific spells - only in 7th Grade, and only at the beginning, the professors at Hogwarts do not teach the powerful and profound dark arts spells to the students, and the magical education at Hogwarts must be safe, which leads to the students' knowledge of the Dark Arts only scratching the surface.

Snape was clearly not the kind of professor who followed the rules, and his attitude towards the dark arts would affect what he taught.

"Now who of you will tell me," Snape's gaze scanned back and forth over the heads of the students below, "why is the dark magic more powerful than ordinary spells, and why is the dark magic so difficult to defend against?"

No one raised their hand, except Hermione. As always, Snape ignored Hermione's arm as if someone had cast a disillusionment spell on Hermione.

"I knew you were all nerds with no ideas of your own. Snape sneered.

Hermione had long been accustomed to Snape's ignorance of him, she had been used to it since he was a Potions professor, and now Hermione would not feel aggrieved by this, she just stubbornly raised her hands - this was her war with Snape.

"Well, Miss Granger, I already know your answer, but I still want you to surprise me a little. Snape grimaced and stared at Hermione fiercely, "If you can't satisfy me, I'll deduct your points." "

Solim ignored Snape's gesture to him, he was too busy writing a letter to answer the questions in class.

Hermione wanted to laugh a little, even second-year Gryffindors didn't care about grades anymore - only in Snape's class, because all Gryffindor students understood that it was unrealistic to not get points deducted in Snape's class, and he could find any reason to deduct points, even if the wrong button on your robe was deducted.

"Black magic has higher requirements for wizards, not only magic and spell-casting skills, but also the will of wizards that ordinary spells do not have, and the power of black magic is often higher than that of ordinary spells under the blessing of evil thoughts. "

"Nothing new. Snape sneered, "I warned you before, Miss Granger, and it's the same ......."

This is the explanation of why the dark arts are more powerful than ordinary spells in Chapter 5 of The Magic of Defense and Deterrence. Hermione was clearly prepared, boldly interrupting Snape's move to deduct points.

"But I don't agree with that. "

"You don't agree?" Snape looked at Hermione viciously, "So, you think you're better than Catullus." Professor Spanger knows more about the dark arts? Because of your arrogance, Gryffindor deducts 5 points. "

The Gryffindor students present were expressionless - they were used to it. Hermione, however, continued as if she hadn't heard, "The power of dark magic is the power of the user's evil thoughts, and different dark magic often requires different negative emotions, which ordinary spells do not have. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"The power of dark magic comes from the evil thoughts of wizards, and it is not about magic or spell-casting skills. Hermione concluded, "Dark magic is the use of the most evil and unbearable things in a wizard's heart to cause harm to others. But black magic is not invincible, as long as we use something contrary to black magic, we can effectively counter it. "

"Exploit the opposite of the Dark Arts?" Snape looked at Hermione sarcastically, as if grasping something, "Miss Granger, do you know what class we're taking?"

"Defence Against the Dark Arts class. "

"Yes, Defence Against the Dark Arts class, I'm very surprised you remember. The sneer on Snape's face intensified, "If, as you said, the defense against dark magic requires the use of white magic, then why shouldn't our class be called white magic?"

Snape wasn't looking for trouble, black magic and white magic were essentially the same, and if you use one extreme to resist the other, you will still get one extreme.

"Mr. Selwyn, you answer this question. Snape called the name directly, and the students who knew the inside story knew what was going to happen next.

"Not all black magic needs to be defended against white magic, and white magic cannot be defended against all black magic. "

Very good answer - 10 points for Slytherin. Snape was content to give his house points, and the students got used to it.

Solim shrugged innocently at Hermione, the girl staring at him.

"Yes, as Mr. Selwyn said: positive emotions don't protect you from all the dark arts. Snape was still wrapped in his robes, "Dark magic is varied, and rote memorization may help you pass the exam, but it won't really help you resist it. "

"Next, you will learn a true spell under my guidance, and I will teach you how to resist it. "

Originally, Solim had expected Snape to teach a typical evil spell for the students to practice and defend against. But Snape was completely surprised by Solim's expectations, so much so that he was shocked, and unlike other students who didn't even know anything about the dark arts, Solim knew all too well how dangerous Snape's teachings were.

Snape was teaching the students how to channel their own malice - not even Snape's Calling Spell would have shocked Solim so much. The Requisition Curse is just a spell, nothing more, and how to channel one's own malice and incorporate it into a spell is the foundation of all dark arts, and Snape is teaching the most essential and precious things of dark magic.
