Chapter 190: Dark Arts in Progress

"That's pretty much it, let's get to know the spells," Moody turned and walked towards the podium

"Professor"

At this moment, a very light but clear shout suddenly sounded.

In an instant, the eyes of the whole class instantly locked on the source of the sound, and Moody's forward figure also stopped in place.

Neville, the culprit, was startled by everyone's sudden movements. Seeing being stared at by so many people, he was a little at a loss, but he still raised his right hand tremblingly

"I know one more - the Diamond Curse"

The voice is hoarse and stubborn, which perfectly reflects the psychological state of the owner.

Moody remained still, keeping his back to the student and said, "Neville Longbottom, huh." You have more courage than Professor Lupin said, Gryffindor plus ten points"

Well, it's no wonder that Gryfin has won the House Cup year after year. Dumbledore's preference aside, the other professors are also various pluses.

"Okay, add another Diamond Spell. Let's take a look at each of these four spells," Moody finally moved. He walked over to the podium and opened the drawer, pulling out a sealed glass bottle in which three swarthy spiders swayed their long legs, "The Imperius Curse, the Heart Drilling Curse, and the Killing Curse are among the three unforgivable curses strictly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic. Once it's used for someone, there's a place for you in Azkaban's Lifetime Suite. ”

Moody opened the bottle and fished out a spider and placed it in the palm of his hand, "Imperius Curse, the person who is cursed will feel a blank in his mind, he will feel extremely happy, and then there will be a voice telling the person under the curse to do something." ”

"Out of body!" As he spoke, he unleashed a spell to hit the spider

The spider paused, then jumped off Moody's palm, a filament hanging from his hand at the end, swinging around as if he were sitting on a high swing. It stiffened its legs, then turned over and rolled over, the filaments broken. It slammed on the table and began to turn its head in circles.

Moody flicked his wand, and it stood up on its two hind legs and did a kind of tap dance. The funny appearance made everyone laugh

"It's funny, isn't it~" Moody looked at the crowd, "If this spider becomes you, I really hope you can still laugh." ”

The smile disappeared immediately

"Full control. It's not just dancing, I can control it coming through each of you's mouths. ”

The students shivered and leaned back unnaturally.

"Imagine what it would be like to attack your loved ones if you were controlled. Don't think it's impossible! Many years ago, when Voldemort was at his strongest, many wizards were victims of the Imperius Curse. Moody reminded coldly

"However, unlike the Killing Curse, the Imperius Curse can be resisted. I will teach you the method, but it takes a lot of personality strength, and not everyone can succeed. ”

After some intimidation, the fourth-graders were stunned for a moment, and their expressions were much more serious.

"Next one is the Drill Heart Charm, this spell...", Moody muttered for a moment, MONOCULUS glancing at Neville "Dirty, ugly, ruthless, vicious, brutal—no matter how bad words you might have to describe it!" It is a product of pure evil! It's a toy for the abuser! The meaning of its existence is to make more good people suffer! ”

There was a sudden roar, and all the students who were shocked were dazed. Moody took two breaths, his wand pointing at the spider on the table

"Rapid growth"

Under the effect of the spell, the spider body quickly expands and grows to the size of a basin. And spiders are even more terrifying when enlarged - dense bristles, hideous mouthparts, and disgusting black eyes, all of which challenge the bottom line of human psychological endurance.

This time, the students in the front row all looked at him with dark faces.

"Drill the heart and cut the bone"

Immediately, the spider's eight long legs were tightly huddled together. At the same time, he collapsed on the table, knocked over Moody's wine jug, his bare belly pouch twitched and retracted repeatedly, and the bristles on his legs trembled at high speeds.

Fortunately, the spell only lasted two seconds, and Moody removed his wand, and the spider's body relaxed.

After stopping casting, Moody doesn't look up, but MONOCULUS keeps watching Neville.

Ivy looked back. Neville's bloodshot eyes stared at the spider, his bloodless face filled with fear. The hands pressed on the edge of the table were protruding and whiteish due to too much force.

"Extreme pain," Moody muttered, "if you know how to drill the heart spell, then you don't need blades and nails anymore to torture people." Ordinary people will go crazy after not resisting for long, and if it lasts too long, they will even have convulsions and die. This spell was very popular among Death Eaters, and Voldemort often used it to punish his men. ”

"There is actually a way to resist the Heart Curse"

Immersed in grief, Neville was awakened and looked at Moody to see that he was also looking at him.

"I don't know how well you've learned Charms class, if you've been exposed to Obstacle Charms—"

Speaking of this, the class turned their eyes to Betty. They did reach out

"Oh~ This saves me a lot of trouble" MONOCULUS naturally noticed the student's gaze, "Miss Ethel, please demonstrate the obstacle spell to everyone"

"Hmm," Betty nodded and stood up. On the side, Ivy pretended to cheer her up.

Moody leaned back against the lectern, picked up the flask, uncorked it, and took a sip. Then he suddenly waved his arm and spilled the drink on Betty.

The friends in the front row reflexively fell to both sides. At the same time as he fell, a calm whisper came from his ears

"There are many obstacles"

When they got up, they found that the scattered hops formed a curtain of water and fixed in the air. Bright sunlight pours into the classroom through the windows, and the rainbow reflects the shining water droplets, and the picture effect is beautiful.

"Brilliant presentation! Hufflepuff plus 10 points," Moody said with satisfaction

He held his wand, and the void churned, and the steady drink merged into a stream of water under the pull of his wand.

Ivey estimated that there were about four or five catties of wine, and the space of that wine jug should have been expanded.

Moody then tapped the spout of the pot with his wand, and the water poured in.

"Miss Ethel's obstacle spell is so proficient that many of the older students can't keep all the droplets out." Moody plugged the spout of the pot and said, "The reason why people are aware of the Obstacle Charm is because of its versatility. Many evil spells are so powerful that the little wizard doesn't have enough mana, and he can't be completely immune to damage with protective charms alone. And the existence of the obstacle spell can allow us to avoid the enemy's attacks well. ”

"But it's not easy either! We are faced with cruel and cunning men, whose poisonous spells are extraordinary in speed, angle, and timing. Mastering the obstacle spell is just the basics! Our consciousness and will are the key to victory against the enemy! ”

....

"Fred and George were right, Moody did understand it." While Ron was eye-opening, he regretted that the class time was too short.

Because there was a lot of extended knowledge in the class, it was time for the end of the class as soon as the obstacle mantra was finished.

"When is the next Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson?" Ron asked, unfinished

"Betty ——!" A shout made them forget to answer.

The shouts stopped the crowd, and Neville caught up breathlessly.

"Neville? What happened to you? The trio asked curiously

"Is there something wrong?" Betty said politely

"I'm sorry~" Neville was slightly cramped. Audio-Technica is fine, but I don't know the two of them very well, "I-I'd like to ask you to teach me the obstacle charm, is that okay?" ”

"Neville, you haven't mastered the things in the textbook~" Hermione reminded softly

Not to hit Neville. It's true that I haven't understood the fourth-grade curriculum yet, and I want to skip a grade, which is not realistic.

"Relax—man," Ron wrapped his arms around his shoulders, "Professor Moody, that's scaring us—how can there be so many terrorist attacks~You're so nervous~"

"No, it's not because of that," Neville looked at Betty fixedly, without saying why.

Betty didn't speak, but glanced at Ivey first

"Whatever you meant" understood what she meant, and Ivy replied lazily. He knew why Neville wanted to learn the Hindrance Charm. It was Moody's Diamond Curse that reminded Neville of what happened to his parents.

But like Hermione said. It's not that you can't chew too much, it's that Neville is average in talent and can't be greedy at all, so it doesn't matter if you teach it or not.

"I don't have time," Betty decisively refused

After being rejected, Neville was a little disappointed, and Harry opened his mouth to comfort him, "Neville, Betty and we are not in the same academy, and she is a girl, so it must be inconvenient to teach you." If we have the chance, we can practice together and ask her if we don't understand something."

"Hmm" can only be said to be that

When Neville left, the group began to gossip again

"Why did he suddenly become so obsessed with the obstacle charm? Obviously the Charms class looked lacking in interest," Ron said

"Did you notice" Hermione picked up the topic of "Neville's reaction when Professor Moody used the Diamond Heart Charm"

"I didn't pay attention, what's the reaction?" Harry asked

"The face is bloodless, the eyes are bloodshot, and the joints are prominent"

"Scared, right? I was bloodless too," Ron said nonchalantly

"You're scared of spiders!" Hermione didn't have a good airway

"What's the difference, aren't they all scared! Why can I be scared, but others can't! ”

"Stop," Ivy stopped the argument in time, "Do you still have classes in the afternoon?" ”

"No, but there is homework after class" Ron's anger came and went quickly, and he took out a book called "Clearing the Fog and Looking at the Future" "I don't know which genius wrote it, it was full of formulas, numbers, symbols, and not even a sentence comment." But we still have to rely on it to predict the fate of next month. ”

We're just referring to him and Harry

"Didn't you just make it up?" Hermione pouted

"Don't you use your brains to make it up!" Ron glared at her viciously

"Where's Hermione in the afternoon?" Betty asked, looking at the two of them who were tense and tense

"There are no classes. But I'm going to the library, I'm almost done," Hermione replied

"Do what? Society for the Protection of Primitive Animals? Ron asked

"You-"

"Do you want me to come with you?" Betty interrupts the two, also curious about what Hermione has been up to lately.

"Hmm... Yes," Hermione rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Then you should get busy, I have something to deal with."

The five men then separated
