[HP] Stranger things

The next morning, the storm died down, but the ceiling of the auditorium was still clouded with gloom.Ann listened to several Hufflepuffs who were a few seats away from them, discussing some magical spells to make themselves older, and then get away with it, and participate in the Triwizard Tournament, and felt a little speechless. Well, life is more important than this so-called glory, and there are big bluish gray clouds rolling over their heads.

"My God, Ann, you can't imagine that Hagrid has been depressed since that hippogriff injured his classmate last year, and then, what he showed us today are disgusting snails! Disfigured, deveined lobsters, gray and slimy, horrific looking, with many legs sticking out in all directions, and no heads where you can see. There are about a hundred lobsters in each box, and each lobster has six Inches or so long, crawling on top of each other, bumping dazedly against the walls of the box. They also smell very strongly of rotten fish and shrimp. Every now and then, a few sparks would shoot from the tail of a snail, Then with a soft snap, the snails will push forward a few inches. And! He wants us to raise the larvae, and says it's going to be a long-term experiment! Merlin!" Susan on Going crazy after one Fantastic Beasts Care class.Ann patted Susan on the shoulder sympathetically.

Before Cynthia could say anything, Zacharias spoke first. "Hey, have you heard that the new Professor Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret in front of a group of people, and used the Unforgivable Curse to control him." Zacharias turned pale , "He even showed the Unforgivable Curses to the younger grades in the first class. However, tomorrow is our first Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Ann and Cedric's expressions were not very good either.Although Malfoy was really arrogant at times, this kind of punishment was really too much.Even an Auror who hates former Death Eaters shouldn't.

"By the way, Seid, I heard that you took part of the NEWT exam content in advance?" Ann suddenly thought of something, turned to Cedric and said.

Cedric showed a nice smile: "Yes, it's exactly the same as the one my girl chose."

Susan and Cynthia immediately rolled their eyes when they heard the words, Ann turned her head in embarrassment, Justin and Zacharias couldn't help pinching their noses, alas, the sour smell of love .

The next morning, they didn't dare to delay and hurriedly sat in the middle where they always sat. The classroom was full before the class started, and they took out their respective "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" and waited. The atmosphere was extremely quiet.Soon, they heard Moody's characteristic thumping footsteps coming down the corridor.He entered the classroom, looking as odd and frightening as ever.They could just see his claw-like wooden foot poking out from under his robes.

"Put these things away," he said gruffly, walking with difficulty to the edge of the podium with a cane, and sat down. "These textbooks. You don't need them."

Zacharias turned pale as the classmates put the books in their schoolbags.

Moody took out the roster, shook his head, brushing his long gray hair away from his twisted, scarred face, and began to roll the roll.His normal eye moved down the list, and his magical eye kept turning around, staring at each student who answered.

"Okay," he said when the last student had answered, "I've got a letter from Professor Lupine explaining the course. It seems like there's a lot of advice on how to deal with dark magic animals, plants, and some You have mastered a lot of basic knowledge about low-level attacks. But how to deal with spells, you have not learned enough, not enough," Moody said, "So, I am going to let you have a taste of the spells cast among wizards. I have a year to teach you how to deal with the Dark Arts—"

"What, what did you say?" Zacharias couldn't help blurting out and asked.

Moody's magic eye turned and stared at Zacharias.Zacharias looked terrified, but soon Moody was smiling.When he smiles, his scarred face looks even more twisted and weird, but it's always comforting to know he can still put on a friendly smile.But it makes people feel shuddering.

"Spells, they come in many forms, and they have different magical powers. Now, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, I should teach you all kinds of breaking spells, that's all. Logically speaking, you are only in the sixth grade, and I should not Tell you what illegal Dark spells look like, because you can't handle this kind of thing. But Professor Dumbledore praised your courage, he thinks you can handle it, and in my opinion, the sooner you understand The more you have to deal with, the better. How are you going to protect yourself from something if you've never seen it? A wizard is going to cast you an illegal spell, and he won't tell you what he's up to. He won't be candid, fair, polite. You've got to be ready and watchful. You'd better get that thing out of the way while I speak, Miss Garrard."

Susan was startled, her face flushed.She had given Cynthia the fudge Ann had given her under the table just now.Apparently, Moody's magical eye could penetrate not only the back of his own head, but solid wood as well.

"Then, do any of you know which spells are most punishable under wizarding law?"

Several hands were raised tremblingly, and Ann and Cedric chose to remain silent throughout.Moody pointed to a Ravenclaw, but his magic eye was still fixed on Susan.

"It's the Imperius Curse, the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse, Professor," said the Ravenclaw seriously.

"Ah, yes, that's great," said Moody appreciatively. "Then Imperius Curse first."

Moody stood up with difficulty on his prosthetic leg, opened the drawer of the lectern, and took out a glass bottle.Three big black spiders crawled inside.

Moody reached into the bottle, grabbed a spider, and placed it on his outstretched palm for all to see.Then he pointed his wand at it and murmured, "Out of body!"

The spider jumped away from Moody's palm, dangling a filament, and began to swing back and forth, as if sitting on a high swing.It straightened its legs stiffly, then turned around and rolled somersaults, the filament snapped.It hit the table and started somersaulting in circles.Moody flicked his wand, and it stood up on its hind legs again, doing a kind of tap dance, yes, a tap dance.

Everyone laughed, except Moody.

"You think it's funny, don't you?" he asked in a gruff voice. "Would you like it if I gave you this?"

The laughter disappeared almost immediately.

"It's all under my control," Moody whispered, as the spider scrambled up and started rolling around, "I can make it jump out the window, or drown itself, or jump into one of your The throat of a classmate..."

"Many years ago, many wizards were under the Imperius Curse," said Moody. "It's really busy the Ministry of Magic. They have to distinguish who is forced to do what they want, and who does what they want."

"The Imperius Curse can be resisted, and I'll teach you how to do it, but it requires a lot of personality, and not everyone can master it. You'd better avoid getting hit by it. Stay vigilant at all times!" he Suddenly, he shouted loudly, startling everyone.

Moody grabbed the somersaulted spider and threw it back into the glass bottle.

He turned his back on the class, took out the second spider from the glass bottle, and placed it on the podium.The spider was motionless and looked terrified.

"The Cruciatus Curse," said Moody. "Needs to zoom in so you can see," he said, pointing at the spider with his wand. "Get bigger!"

The spider swelled up.It is now bigger than a tarantula.Moody raised his wand again, pointed at the spider, and said softly, "Crucio!"

Immediately, the spider's legs all retracted, clinging to the body.It turned over, and at the same time, its body twitched violently, shaking from side to side.It didn't make a sound, and if it had a vocal organ, it would be screaming desperately at this moment.Moody didn't take his wand away, and the spider began to tremble and twitch more violently.

Moody raised his wand, and the spider's legs slackened, still twitching.

"Shrinking fast," murmured Moody.The spider shrank back to its original size, and Moody put it back in the bottle.

"Extremely painful," said Moody softly. "You don't need a thumbtack or a knife to torture people if you know how to say the Cruciatus Curse, which was once very popular."

"Ah," said Moody, his slanted mouth twitching again in a slight smile, "this is the last and most powerful spell. Avada Kedavra, the Death Curse."

He reached into the glass bottle, and as if knowing the impending doom, the third spider scrambled desperately around the bottom of the bottle, trying to avoid Moody's finger, but he caught it anyway and put it on the podium .The spider started crawling desperately across the wooden tabletop again.

Moody raised his wand, and Ann and Cedric suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and they looked at each other in horror.

"Avada Kedavra!" roared Moody.

A dazzling green light pierced people's eyes, and at the same time there was a messy sound, as if an invisible giant was flying in the air. At the same time, the spider turned over and lay on its back on the table. No scars, but no doubt dead.Several students tried their best to hold back the shouts they wanted to make.

Moody swept the dead spider off the table and onto the floor.

"It's not good," he said calmly. "Unpleasant. And there's no break. There's no way to resist it. Only one person is known to have escaped the spell, and he's at our school at the moment."

"The Avada Kedavra requires a strong magical foundation. You can all take out your wands, point them at me, and say this spell, and I doubt I'll end up with a nosebleed at most. But that's okay. I I came here to teach you how to say the spells. So why am I showing you these, since there is no cure? Because you have to know. You have to be fully aware of what is worst. You don't want to find yourself in That's the situation you're facing now. Stay alert!" he roared, startling the class again.

"Well, these three spells, the Avada Kedavra Curse, Imperius Curse, and Cruciatus Curse, are all called the Unforgivable Curses. Using any one of these spells on humans is enough to sit in Azkaban for a lifetime Prison. That's what you're going to defend against. That's what I'm going to teach you to resist. You need to be prepared. You need to be on guard. But most importantly, you need to be vigilant at all times and never let up. Take out the feathers Pen, write this down."

For the rest of the class, the students were busy taking notes on the three Unforgivable Curses.The classroom was quiet, and no one spoke until the bell rang for the end of get out of class, but when Moody announced that class was over, as soon as the students left the classroom, all kinds of discussions suddenly surged like a flood that had burst its mouth.Most of the students talked about the spells in awe - "Did you see the way the spider twitched?" "- and he killed the spider in one fell swoop - as simple as that!"

Ann and Cedric walked out of the classroom in silence.These three spells didn't excite them, they frightened them, and they didn't like that.
