Chapter 40: Harry's Nightmare

His magic eye was still spinning wildly, and that normal eye swept over the students who were making small movements.

For some reason, Tom saw a hint of appreciation in Moody's eyes.

"In that case, I will directly demonstrate to you what has been called the Three Unforgivable Mantras. He reached into the glass bottle, which contained three large spiders crawling around.

Moody's hand in the bottle alarmed the spiders, who tried to stay away from Moody's large hand, but one of them was caught by Moody.

"Let me think about which one to show you first?" he said, pretending to meet Malfoy, who was looking at him coldly, "Imperius Curse! It's a spell you're familiar withโ€”many wizards claimed to be under the control of Imperius years ago, and it kept the Ministry of Magic busy......"

Tom certainly knew what Moody was referring to.

During the days when Voldemort was at its strongest, many pure-blood families became Voldemort's minions. They did a lot of evil things for Voldemort, but after Voldemort's downfall, the people of these families claimed that they were under the Imperius Curse.

Tom's eyes drifted to Malfoy's.

Among them is Lucius Malfoy, the current head of Malfoy's house.

In Tom's position, he could only see Malfoy's blonde hair, and he couldn't see what Malfoy's expression was now.

Moody placed the caught spider on his outstretched palm, then pointed his wand at the spider and muttered, "Out of body!"

The spider changed her panicked appearance and stood up with two hind legs propped on the palms of Moody's hands, swinging her front legs up and down, and alternating back legs, as if she was doing a ballroom dance.

Moody shook his wand, and the spider immediately spat out a filament, slid down it, swinging around on it, and doing many acrobatic movements.

It was so comical that Harry couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, almost laughing.

However, no one in the classroom was laughing, not including Tom.

Harry, who was halfway through laughter, forced down the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, yes......" Moody shook his wand again, and the spider followed the thread back into Moody's hand and was tossed back into the vial, "Much better than Gryffindor." They took it as a joke. โ€

"So you know exactly what is going to happen if I put this on you, don't you?"

No one answered him, and even Harry's face changed slightly, realizing the gravity of the matter.

Tom had only seen a few words about the Unforgivable Curse in the book, and he had thought deeply about the reason why these spells were called the Unforgivable Curse, and now he understood it completely.

At the same time, he also thought about the Kulo cards he owned.

He had used the "time" card at King's Cross Station, and had time suspended in order to subdue the "slash" card.

He clearly remembered that at that time, the time of the entire station had indeed stopped, and everyone was frozen in place because of the "hour" card, even the wizards.

If Tom had been a man of all that time, if he had stabbed someone in the chest with a dagger, he would have been killed before he could even perceive any danger.

There is another "water" card.

Scientific studies have shown that the body is hydrated by about 65% of body weight.

But Rubellos said that as long as Tom wanted to, as long as Tom's magic allowed it, any water could be mobilized by the "water" card.

What if Tom ordered the "water" card to drain someone of the water?

As far as Tom knows, if the human body loses more than 15 percent of its water, it can be fatal. So a person who is instantly drained of water, even if he is a wizard, must be killed immediately, right?

Tom shuddered, realizing for the first time how terrifying the power he had.

Tom's actions seem to have been noticed by Moody's.

He snorted in satisfaction and pulled the second spider out of the glass bottle.

"The second spell is also familiar to you. Moody didn't care about the students with their mouths shut, "The famous Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange used this spell to drive many people crazy - one of the victims, a couple who are still lying in a bed at St. Mungo's Hospital. โ€

Hearing this, Tom couldn't help but frown.

Moody showed him the reality of the wizarding world in a bloody way almost in this lesson.

Perhaps the other Slytherin students here had already experienced the cruelty of the wizarding world, but for Tom, it was indeed he who made him understand that in addition to magic and joy, the wizarding world also comes with great dangers.

Harry stared at Moody without blinking, enlarging the second spider he had caught, a "heart-piercing", and the spider's legs curled up in an instant, clinging to his body.

Tom's goosebumps rose all over his body.

The spider twitched violently, flipping around on the podium.

If Tom had known the language of spiders, he would have heard spiders screaming in pain.

The atmosphere in the classroom was even more solemn than before.

Everyone stared with bated breath.

The spider's convulsions became more and more violent, and after a while, its convulsions subsided and became lifeless.

"Is it dead?" asked Harry, holding Tom's arm, trembling.

"It seems so. Tom noticed that his voice trembled a little.

Moody tossed the motionless spider aside: "Extreme pain. If you are weaker, you will end up like this spider. โ€

He looked at one of the classrooms again, grabbing a third spider from the glass bottle.

Almost everyone knew what the spider was up against, and the students' faces were dripping.

Looking at the spider struggling violently on the podium table to climb away, Tom suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Avada suo!"

A blinding green light made Tom barely open his eyes.

By the time he came to his senses, the spider was bare and motionless.

Tom felt his stomach churn, and a feeling of nausea came over him.

Several of the girls covered their mouths vigorously and suppressed the screams that had reached their lips.

"Shhhh

Harry jerked his forehead over it, and inhaled softly.

This caused Tom to draw his attention away from the feeling of vomiting and start to worry about Harry's state.

"Are you alright?" asked Tom.

Harry shook his head, his left hand still pressed against his forehead, "It's okay, it's just that the scar hurts a little." โ€
