Hogwarts Homecoming

Chapter 519 The Nature of the Unforgivable Curse

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the little wizards stopped holding their quills. They looked at Professor Blaine by the window for a while, and then turned their eyes to the podium. He had just told them something amazing. Professor Moody had doubts in his heart.

what on earth is it?

Professor Moody had just shown them the three unforgivable curses in person, letting them understand why these magics were strictly prohibited, but in the blink of an eye, Professor Brain came up with a different view.

Professor Brain is unhappy with Professor Moody, so he's tearing him down?

Harry couldn't help but think so, but on second thought, he overturned this view. With Professor Blaine's current status in the magic world, he doesn't have to use such a clumsy way to show his authority. However, he actually said that these three notorious black magic are not as scary as people imagined, and they can be used. Resistant!

These little wizards are not newbies who have just entered the magical world. Many of them come from wizarding families, just like Ron, who had heard some common sense about magic from his father, Mr. Weasley, before. Among those experiences passed down by word of mouth, the Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse and the Avada Kedavra Curse are definitely terrible spells.

Moody stood on the podium and stared at Amosta. He was not angry because he was refuted in front of a group of young wizards. On the contrary, there was a strange look in his normal eye that was incomprehensible.

"Why don't you come up and share your opinion, Professor Blaine?"

Moody said.

really weird!

Harry couldn't help but feel confused. When he heard what Professor Moody said to Professor Blaine - it wasn't the content that was strange, but the voice. It was clear that Professor Moody's voice was still that hoarse and low voice. , but Harry could actually hear some tenderness in it.

He was not the only one who felt the surprise. Many people, including Professor Brain, looked at Professor Moody with astonishment. Moody obviously realized that something was wrong. He quickly cleared his voice and spoke harshly. shouted,

"These little guys and I are waiting for your opinion, Amosta. I want to see what novel ideas you can come up with. Oh, of course, even if ordinary wizards use unforgivable methods on you, The curse can’t do anything to you, you can’t be hit so easily, but these little guys are not as capable as you, Amosta, they still need to be vigilant at all times!”

"It's natural to be vigilant--"

Professor Brain stood up from his stool, responded to the gazes of the little wizards, smiled slightly, and said,

"But I don't want to see you overly mystifying a certain magic, as that will deepen your inner fears."

Professor Brain did not run to the podium to compete with Professor Moody for a seat. He put his hands behind his back and wandered a few steps along the gap between the two rows of seats, as if thinking about how to make the little wizards understand. Finally, he Harry stopped next to his seat,

"Putting aside the effect of a curse, I prefer to trace the source of magic. The Soul-Impering Curse, Cruciatus Curse, and Avada Kedavra--the three unforgivable curses. First of all, you need to understand , what is the essence of these three spells? Or, how do they work?"

Professor Brain's tone was calm, not at all solemn and intimidating when Professor Moody talked about these three magics. He glanced back and forth at the young faces, as if he was expecting something.

How could anyone know?

From the bulge between Professor Moody's eyebrows, Harry knew the difficulty of Professor Brain's question, and he cursed in his heart.

In class, the professor's questions were like stoning a proud rooster, a complete provocation that required a response - for Hermione, that was it, but even she was in Professor Blaine's shoes. This question has been silenced, eagerly waiting for the answer.

Harry wanted to stand up and grab Professor Blaine's neck and order him to tell the answer. His parents died under the Avada Kedavra Curse. If there is any way to resist the Avada Kedavra Curse, then if he understands this, maybe his parents will feel relieved.

Perhaps he finally realized that they, a group of fourth-year wizards and a retired Auror, could not answer his question. Professor Braine exhaled a breath of disappointment and said slowly and unhurriedly,

"The three unforgivable curses can all be defined as spiritual magic in terms of classification. They target the heart or soul of life. That's probably what it means -"

Facing the many unknown faces, Professor Blaine began to pace again with his hands behind his back.

"The following views are all my personal views and may not be completely correct. After all, it is illegal to study and discuss these three magics, but they are basically correct - we all know that the body and soul make up life, and the body and soul make up life. There is an extremely mysterious and complex connection between them. Throughout history, whether it is Muggles or wizards, when we realize the existence of the soul, we have been studying the connection between the two, but unfortunately, so far, No one can see through this connection--"

Professor Blaine strolled back to the place where he had just listened to the lecture, and stood under a ray of sunlight that penetrated into the professor from outside the curtains. The bright sunlight also dyed his soft gray hair into gold.

"The soul gives life to the body. It is the source of the power of the mind and soul. The three unforgivables, three simple spells, have an effect that is difficult to resist and heal, precisely because they attack not the body--"

Moody was probably the only person in the classroom who could barely understand what Amosta was saying. The rest of the little wizards all looked confused, and Professor Blaine obviously noticed this. He paused. , changed the way,

"Let's talk about the Imperius Curse first—"

Amosta glanced at Draco, who had an uneasy expression on his face. This unfortunate young man had personally experienced the feeling of being under the Imperius Curse. He was controlled by Peter Pettigrew with the Imperius Curse for several months.

"The soul-stealing curse, the caster uses magic as a medium to cover the mind of the cursed person with his own will. Have you discovered it, everyone? There are two key points here, one is magic power, and the other is thought-"

Professor Brain said in an obvious tone,

"Among the three unforgivable curses, the Soul Imperius Curse is the one that causes the least harm to the victim, because it affects the most superficial thoughts among the three, gradually from the mind to the heart to the soul. From the two key points I just mentioned, you can deduce two points. First, there are risks in using the Imperius Curse to control creatures with stronger magic than you. Second, using this magic to control creatures with stronger thoughts than you. There is also a risk - if you do this, even if the cursed person does not use any magic to resist your control, then he may break free - "

This time, most people got the clue.

Draco pursed his lips, his expression looking unhappy.

According to Professor Brain, his magic and thoughts were completely defeated by the despicable Peter Pettigrew.

"Also, regarding the Imperius Curse, I would like to add something -"

Amosta said calmly,

"On a certain level, it is actually very easy to identify wizards controlled by the Imperius Curse - if you use the Imperius Curse on a person, it means that your thoughts and magic power have to enter that person's body and possess A wizard with keen perception can easily see through this-"

"Professor Blaine!"

As soon as Amosta finished speaking, Hannah Abbott immediately raised her hand,

"If I understand correctly--"

Hannah asked curiously, "Is there some kind of magic that can help people resist the control of the Imperius Curse?"

"indeed so--"

Professor Blaine smiled and nodded,

"There is an ancient magic skill that can resist all mind control spells. Of course, it requires a certain amount of talent to learn. We will talk about this later. Now, let's talk about the Cruciatus Curse-"

Upon hearing this magic, Neville, whose expression finally calmed down, turned pale again.
