210. Upcoming Exam Week
"I think it's because of emotions, Professor."
Scott's short answer.
"When we use certain spells, we need strong emotions or beliefs to guide us, and I think that evil spells also need to be supported by corresponding emotions in the heart."
"That's right, you're right, Mr. Trollope."
Dumbledore nodded.
"It's an overlooked point, but it's the focus of wizards when they cast spells."
He gestured for Scott to sit down.
"Your answer adds another 5 points to Ravenclaw College, Mr. Trollope!"
The Ravenclaws in the classroom applauded, and the Hufflepuffs began to applaud generously.
Scott sat down with a confused look on his face.
Don't be so exaggerated!
The applause in his ears made him uncomfortable.
But Dumbledore didn't stop everyone, just smiled and watched.
Fortunately, the applause soon stopped.
Scott couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Dumbledore spoke, "Mr. Trollope is right, strong emotions are the point of using certain spells. ”
His voice was muffled again.
"For example, the three unforgivable curses require a strong hatred in the heart, a genuine desire to hurt or kill others."
The students fell silent and looked at him earnestly.
"At the beginning of your study of spells, the professors will emphasize the firmness of the heart, coupled with the firm waving of their wands. Of course, this is also to make the firm gesture hint at your heart. ”
Dumbledore moved on to other spells, and by the way, he taught everyone some tips on how to use them.
"Professor."
Cedric, who was sitting on the other side of the classroom, couldn't help but ask, "If we encounter a dark wizard who uses an unforgivable spell, how can we resist?" ”
"That's a good question, and that's the focus of this lesson." Dumbledore looked at him appreciatively.
The students' attention was immediately and firmly captivated.
They were desperate to know if the greatest wizard in the world had a way to resist the three unforgivable curses.
"As we all know, there is no counter-mantra for the three unforgivable mantras."
Dumbledore said something disappointing first.
"If you encounter a dark wizard who uses an unforgivable spell, the only way is not to be hit by the other party's spell."
Now, the students were even more disappointed.
Dumbledore continued, "Unfortunately, the only way we can do it is to dodge, to fend off with a solid object, or to escape. ”
At this time, another student asked, "Then how did you fight the Dark Wizard?" ”
"Like I said." Dumbledore said, "Dodge, or use objects to fend off the opponent's spells, and then take the opportunity to fight back." ”
"We can't do that."
"Yes, if it's a dark wizard who can use the Unforgivable Spell, I'm afraid it's not something we can resist."
"If it's in an open field, won't you even find something you can resist?"
"Even if you choose to run away, you may not be able to escape."
The students began to talk about it, and they were all a little depressed.
Scott became more and more unaware of why Dumbledore had come to such a lesson.
Damaging students' self-confidence?
Or let them recognize reality?
Milton asked softly, "Scott, if it were you, how would you deal with that kind of dark wizard?" ”
If it's the kind that can't be beaten, of course, you can escape directly with the portkey.
Scott thought.
But if it's the kind that can fight......
He thought for a moment and said to Milton, "My method doesn't work for everyone. ”
"How?" Roger asked curiously.
"Smoke Screen." "That's a tactic that only I can use if I have a sense of magic." ”
“…… It's cunning. Roger said enviously.
"The smoke screen spell is indeed suitable for you." Milton was happy for Scott, "It's going to be a lot easier for you to do whatever you do." ”
Since Dumbledore had not stopped him, the lesson ended with the students talking.
Dumbledore left the classroom after class.
This disappointed the students and made Scott even more confused.
"You say...... What was Dumbledore's reason for giving us this lesson? He asked his two roommates.
"What is the reason?" Milton looked at him with some confusion, "Isn't this what is already in the textbook?" ”
Roger said, "I think what Scott meant was that we could study on our own by reading a book, and it didn't seem necessary for Dumbledore to come out of the way for such a lesson." ”
"Maybe he's nostalgic for the days when he used to stand on the podium and teach?" Milton said uncertainly.
"Look at everyone's reaction." Scott said again.
The two looked around.
"Everybody's a little frustrated." Milton said.
Roger answered, "Still a little dazed. ”
Scott said, "Because people don't get the perfect answer from Dumbledore. ”
"There's no perfect answer to that kind of question." Roger said disapprovingly.
Scott asked again, "So...... What did Dumbledore tell us about this lesson? ”
"I think you're thinking too much." Roger stood up, "Let's go, it's time for us to leave." ”
Milton patted Scott on the shoulder, "Oh, Scott, don't be any more sensitive than I used to be. ”
Is it really that I think too much?
Scott, somewhat confused, stood up with the two of them and walked out of the classroom.
He shook his head, deciding to put the mess behind his thoughts.
Whether you think too much or not, you should think too much.
I don't have to go into everything.
He admonished himself.
Although Scott didn't think much about what he didn't have, Dumbledore suddenly came out of the mountain and gave a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson to all but fifth and seventh years, which became the hottest news and discussion topic at Hogwarts during the week.
Scott took a look and found that Dumbledore's lessons were different for each grade, and they all corresponded to the progress of the corresponding grade.
For a while, he believed more and more in Roger's judgment, and he might really be thinking too much.
So he left the matter behind him completely.
It's the end of May.
The first week of June is exam week for each school year at Hogwarts.
With the year-end exams approaching, Hogwarts students are in the abyss of urgent revision.
The school library is filled with students reviewing their homework every day.
Even at Ravenclaw College, quite a few students began to stay up late in the common room to revise.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Scott.
He is still arranging his time step by step, studying when he should study, and resting when he should rest.
Of course, he was not completely unaffected.
In addition to the fact that thanks to the efforts of the Eddie and Weasley twins, his Metamorphosis notes are a big hit......
His arithmetic divination career ushered in a peak -
There are many students who are willing to take out the questions of the Golden Galleon and ask him to use arithmetic divination to calculate the exam.
