The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

A class is over soon.

The Slytherins left the classroom one after another.

Compared with before class, everyone's faces were a little more dazed.

Moody's class was really different from what he imagined.

John's brows were also furrowed.

If Moody was not targeting Slytherin, he did verbally stab Draco several times.

But if Moody wanted to cause trouble for Slytherin, he gave Slytherin a full sixty points.

This inconsistency confused John.

He felt that he needed to find Snape.

With this in mind, John prepared to go to the Potions office.

However, at this moment, Moody was heard shouting from the podium:

"John, come to my office. I have something to talk to you about."

John's footsteps paused.

After thinking for a moment, he turned back and gave Draco a reassuring look, and then followed Moody to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

It was pretty much what he had expected.

This office has now been completely transformed into a 'fortress' style.

There are a large number of defensive magic items placed inside, ranging from various magical protective equipment native to the Republic of China, to French alchemical defense props, and even unique African voodoo traps. It can be said that there is everything.

John even used the magic perception ability brought by the 'chewing' ability to sense that many defensive spells were attached to various furniture.

"That chair is safe." Moody took a weird step and sat behind the desk, then pointed to a chair opposite and said, "You need to take two steps, stop, then take three steps, stop. Repeat this step to walk over, so as not to trigger the trap."

John did as he was told and sat down opposite Moody in silence.

Moody took out the metal wine bottle and took a sip before speaking:

"John, I heard a lot about you from Dumbledore. You are indeed an outstanding student, but you are very close to Snape, right?"

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on John's expressionless face.

He nodded slowly and said:

"Yes."

Moody continued:

"Did you know that he was once a Death Eater?"

John did not answer the question, but remained silent.

Moody was not annoyed when he saw this, he just showed a slightly ferocious smile and said:

"I also heard that you learned his [Shenbian Shadowless Curse] and have been using it?"

John said calmly:

"I don't think it's against Ministry of Magic law."

"Yes, due to various reasons, the [Invisible Curse] has not been included in the Ministry of Magic's control catalog at present." Moody said, "But you have to know that the [Invisible Curse] is a dark magic .

The reason why black magic is called black magic is because the emotions required to cast spells are mostly negative.

Allowing this kind of negative emotion to infect your spirit for a long time will cause your entire personality to change drastically, and eventually go astray. "

John said:

"Professor Moody, are you giving me extra lessons? But I already knew these things before I learned the [God's Edge Shadowless Curse]."

"Of course a smart person like you won't do anything stupid to hurt yourself. I believe you will use it only after you fully understand that black magic of this level cannot cause any real harm to you. Its. And your confidence comes from [Occlumency]."

Moody smiled and said, "As I said in class today, a strong personality and a firm will can resist the [Imperius Curse]. At the same time, [Occlumency] can further strengthen your brain defense and emotional control." ability.

This double barrier is enough to protect you from most negative emotions.

But you need to understand one thing. The negative emotions caused by black magic such as [The Shadowless Curse] are nothing compared to the [Cruciatus Curse] and [The Death Curse]. "

John narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"You think I would use the Unforgivable Curse? That's a serious accusation, Professor Moody."

"I didn't say that." Moody smiled even more happily, "But it is undeniable that from my experience, most people who are accustomed to using black magic will end up using the Unforgivable Curse frequently, and eventually Swallowed by negative emotions, he became a real dark wizard.

I must remind you that while black magic brings you great power, it can also corrode your spirit.

Perhaps under the protection of [Occlumency] and strong personality power, you can be completely immune to the negative emotional impact of [Shen Feng Wu Ying].

Even using the [Death Curse] and [Cruciatus Curse] a few times occasionally will not have any negative effects.

But if you use it too frequently, or directly use it as your main attack method.

Then all that is waiting for you is to fall into darkness. "

Having said this, Moody paused, then took a deep breath and said:

"So John, I'm calling you here this time just to make you promise me something. Please always stay vigilant against black magic!"

John nodded and said:

"Yes, I will."

After hearing this, Moody looked directly at John.

The pupil of his bright blue eye kept shrinking and dilating, as if he was focusing on something.

After several seconds, Moody breathed a sigh of relief and laughed:

"I believe you can do it, John. And this is an amazing achievement that requires extremely high self-control. To encourage you, I am willing to give you the reward in advance. So, forty points to Slytherin!"

Hearing this, there was no trace of joy on John's face.

He just nodded quietly and said a few words of thanks to Moody.

"Okay, John, please go back." Moody waved his hand happily, "Please pay attention to your steps when you go out, and be careful to step on traps. I don't want you to get hurt."

"Yes, bye, Professor Moody."

John said calmly and left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

Draco was already waiting in the corridor.

Seeing John coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and asked:

"John, Mad-Eye Moody didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

John looked back deeply at the closed office door and smiled:

"He gave me another forty points."

Hearing this, Draco was stunned for a moment, then said ecstatically:

"Oh my god! So you've already dealt with him? Slytherin got a hundred points added in this class! Ah - Moody, Moody, I didn't expect that he was actually a pretty good person. people!"

As soon as he said this, John's eyes towards Draco instantly became strange.

"Are you crazy?" John said, "He was not very nice to you, and now you are saying that he is a nice guy?"

Draco shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Yes, Moody did verbally target the Malfoy family, but he did not do anything more egregious. From this point of view, he is still a person with a bottom line.

Aurors generally have this kind of virtue. It seems that even if Moody is crazy, he still remembers those things.

And he also gave Slytherin a full hundred points!

After all this, can't he still be called a 'nice person'? "

John looked at Draco like he was an idiot.

Regarding Moody, he had a completely different view from Draco.
