Chapter 36: Terrible Memories
In the midst of the noise of Severus Snape's robe on fire, Ricardo Silva fainting inexplicably, and Chino Quelinas tripped over a young wizard, the savior on the court found the Golden Snitch again, andβ
"He didn't catch the snitch, he almost swallowed it!"
Twenty minutes later, Flint was still yelling in anger, but it didn't work at all.
"Harry didn't break any of the rules," Lee Jordan shouted with joy, "The result: Gryffindor won 170 to 60!" β
Harry didn't hear that, though. He returns to Hagrid's cabin with Ron and Hermione, where the host is making him a cup of strong tea.
As for why Hermione was fooling around with the two of them? A headmaster who wanted to make multiple think tanks next to the savior laugh silently.
"Snape did it," Ron explained, "Hermione and I saw it. He's chanting a spell on your broomstick, muttering and his eyes fixed on you. β
"Nonsense," said Hagrid, who knew nothing about what was happening around him in the stands, "why would Snape do such a thing?" β
"He's just trying to kill Harry!"
Hermione shouted angrily that the events of the afternoon seemed to have changed her opinion of Snape a lot.
"If I see evil intentions, I will recognize them. I've read all about them in books! You have to make eye contact with them, Snape's eyes don't blink, I see it!"
"Also, did you see Professor Silva faint? Maybe it was the mana that ran out to resist Snape's attacks, so Harry's broomstick just went uncontrolled instead of dropping! β
"That's right!" The savior's mind turned, "Do you remember the fire dragon incident?" Aside from Professor Silva, Snape was the first to look for me! He must be trying to make up for it! β
β¦β¦ I have to say, this is a wonderful misunderstanding.
β¦β¦
It's an extremely frightening memory.
The reason why black magic is called black magic is because of its ruthless methods and requires an extremely cruel heart. It is released by the evil thoughts that the protagonist harbors, and when released, it causes the evil thoughts in the heart of the protagonist to gather.
It's not because it can kill a person that it's considered dark magic, it's because it's addictive to killing.
Otherwise, even a simple "fainting" can be called black magic because it can cause a person standing on the edge of a cliff to fall, let alone "shatter bones".
It's like a positive feedback mechanism type of dominoes, when each of them is 1.5 times the size of the previous one, and if you arrange 32 dominoes according to this procedure, the last one will be as big as a skyscraper at the World Trade Center in New York.
Dark magic and evil thoughts magnify each other over and over again, and this is where the dark wizard comes from.
The so-called people who have conquered the dark magic have either only learned the surface and then escaped, or they have engaged in long-term self-discipline and management.
Ricardo has always believed that this is also the reason why Dumbledore only served as the headmaster of Hogwarts and did not become the Minister for Magic, and did not make a big move when the second generation of the Dark Lord was raging - he had to have his own scale and restrain his murderous intent and greed to ensure that he was not consumed by the dark arts.
And the memories that were forcibly injected into him were all the killing fragments of the dark wizard who called himself Voldemort, scattered in his memory.
When he remembers something, he will fall into the memory of the dark magic if he is not careful, and then feel the pleasure and pain of killing people with the black magic for a moment, and by the time he breaks free of the memory and thinks about what he is going to do now, the memory fragment has disappeared without a trace.
Sometimes, during practical classes, he even stared at magical beasts for a long time before he could control his desire to use Avada to sue for his life and use the restraint spell.
Every night he had to drink a bottle of dreamless elixir to sleep peacefully, otherwise he would have almost been driven crazy by the bombardment of various dead people in his dream.
What's even more terrifying is that there is a voice that has been questioning him why he doesn't use black magic, after all, it is lethal and harmful, and it can make him stronger and invincible.
"Isn't it just to improve your combat effectiveness by working so hard to invent magic cards?" The voice bewitched, "This magic can make you stronger, and no one will dare to hurt you." β
Dark magic is just fighting poison with poison, and magic cards can be used in public, Ricardo replied in his heart.
"Aren't you paying attention to ancient magic just to get rid of the curse? Isn't curses black magic? That being the case, why not choose to master your fears and devour this curse? β
Did you become a curse, or did you become consumed by a curse without knowing it?
"Do you still have hope for the world? Come on, you're hitting walls here and there, with such a powerful magical ability, you can only accept a position that no one wants, they know that you are powerful but they are not in awe, because of your pathetic moral bottom line! β
This......
"They know you don't have a backstage!"
"They don't have to care what you think!"
"They will only be reserved for the strong who fear them!"
"Do you know why Dumbledore is the greatest White Wizard? And not just because he defeated the first Dark Lord! And because he was one of the leaders of darkness, they were afraid that he would pick up that belief again, so they put all the praise on him! β
β¦β¦
He couldn't argue with it.
This was something he had unintentionally learned from the Dark Wizard, and Dumbledore had a deep friendship with Grindelwald.
If you think about it from a human perspective, this reason for Dumbledore's respect is really feasible.
Because they were afraid of him, they bound him with the rope of morality. In this way, even if he is actually the Black Lord, he has to sit in the position of the White Lord. There are always people who eat this, and maybe Dumbledore is one of them.
Especially when combined with the fact that Ricardo is in trouble finding a job, it really has a feeling of "if you want to be respected, you must first be scary".
Invincible in the same generation, this is not a boast, but being ostracized by the Ministry of Magic of the entire European continent, maybe it is because of the kindness of others.
The combination of not learning dark arts and crushing the underground trade of pure-blood families led to his graduation and almost losing his job.
Maybe...... He learned the three unforgivable spells...... Isn't it just ......
To be honest, it's really not a problem to learn a little dark magic in seven years, I've never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and Ricardo has captured so many dark wizards, and it's no problem to learn both when fighting them. But due to his knowledge of the dark arts, he used the likes of fainting every time.
Besides, he is also considered to have "decapitated" countless times, and he will definitely be suspected of using black magic, if the flashback spell really finds the corresponding traces, it is really indefensible. French civets are no easier to deal with than English Dementors.
At that time, it really couldn't be used, so it was better not to learn. But now......
He's an adult, he's gotten rid of the Ministry of Magic's patrols, he's ...... There is already the ability to master fear.
"Fear, only powerful and terrifying, can gain the respect of a wizard! So, why not turn into the biggest fear? β
The cold voice sounded in his ears repeatedly, but after many times, Ricardo felt the madness and heat in it.
"The light of the day can never understand the depth of the night," it said, "don't blame your own inadequacy to anything else, you are only afraid that you will not be able to master this power, but when you have mastered it completely, you will thank the Lord who has given you power!" β
It's true...... Is it?
Ricardo thought to himself.
Is that voice the bewitchment of the unjust face, or is it my own inner thoughts?
Should you learn this kind of magic?
What he thinks...... Do you want to find reasons for learning ability, or do you want to escape the excuses given by morality?
"If you fight with the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself; Stare into the abyss for too long, and the abyss will stare back. β
In a trance, such a sentence appeared in his mind.
This is his warning to the fifth graders, is it ...... Will you reproduce this fact yourself?
