The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Compared to some weirdos who came from who-knows-where, at least Lupin was able to teach them some useful knowledge.

Before long, they arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Since there is no teacher for this course now, and it is almost time for class to start, the classroom is still a bit noisy.

Ravenclaw continued to attend the same self-study class with Hufflepuff.

Scott's gaze swept around the classroom.

He discovered that, apart from a few Hufflepuff girls, most students had abandoned Lockhart's work and instead picked up the previous year's textbook, "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense."

Of course, the same goes for Scott and his team.

Compared to the flashy Lockhart, this book is the traditional textbook used at Hogwarts for this course.

Scott, Roger, and Milton sat together in the back row of the classroom.

At the same time, he noticed that the Hufflepuff girl who kept turning her head to stare at Roger had become two.

“Miss Mill is really persistent…” Scott sighed softly, then turned to Roger, “Are you and Kachini still having a cold war?”

Roger ignored the two girls' gazes and opened the book in his hand. "It's not a cold war, it's just that my love has cooled down."

“I thought you’d be hesitant for a while longer,” Scott said, somewhat surprised.

After the combat training in March, Roger said he wanted to break up with Cachini, but it was already May.

Roger is rarely seen being so indecisive when it comes to matters of the heart.

Scott and his roommates all thought that Roger had probably found true love.

I didn't expect it to cool down so quickly?

Scott shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

"I asked her to join the dueling club with me for her own good, but she firmly refused to change herself."

Roger took the initiative to speak.

"And she's becoming more and more sensitive, always thinking that I'm using that kind of excuse to make things difficult for her because I've found someone new."

"..."

Scott was unable to comment on this matter.

Just then, his expression changed. "How could this be?"

"What's wrong?" Roger asked.

“Dumbledore is here,” Scott said.

The classroom suddenly fell silent.

Scott looked up and saw that Dumbledore was indeed standing at the classroom door.

"Is Dumbledore going to give us a lesson?" Roger asked excitedly.

After a moment of silence, the other students in the classroom also cheered for no apparent reason.

Dumbledore walked up to the podium with a smile on his face.

"Hello everyone."

He stretched out his hands and pressed down, and the classroom fell silent again.

Chapter 209 The Three Unforgivable Curses

"Headmaster Dumbledore!"

Some of the bolder students asked questions.

"You...you're here to teach this course for us?"

“Yes,” Dumbledore nodded with a smile, “I’ll be teaching this lesson.”

The students cheered again.

Dumbledore gestured for everyone to be quiet.

“But there’s only this one class,” he said. “Your old principal is getting old and his energy is waning.”

The students expressed their disappointment.

Dumbledore exclaimed, “Don’t be disappointed! You know, it’s been decades since I last stood on a lectern. And you’ll have a much better Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester, I promise!”

"If only it were true." Scott heard Roger mutter in disbelief.

"Now let's begin the lesson," said Dumbledore. "I hope my teaching skills haven't suffered."

He stepped down from the podium.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts, this course was originally created to teach students how to resist all types of dark magic, including dark magical creatures and dark spells. Of course, this course also includes some dueling-related content."

His gaze swept over the students.

“I’ve noticed that there’s a group of students at Hogwarts who have rebuilt the Fighting Club, with Professor Flitwick as their advisor, which is a good thing.”

“Catchini should really listen to what Dumbledore has to say,” Roger whispered in Scott’s ear again.

Scott still ignored him.

At this point, Dumbledore asked, "I just mentioned Dark Charms. Can anyone tell me the definition of Dark Charms? And what are they usually divided into three categories?"

Instantly, most of the students in the classroom raised their hands.

Dumbledore randomly picked a Hufflepuff boy to answer.

“Dark spells are a type of spell associated with black magic. They are divided into curses, poison spells, and curses,” the boy said, standing up.

“Very good, Hufflepuff gets 2 points.” Dumbledore approved his answer.

He then explained further to the students.

"Like all spells, dark spells apply specific magical effects to the target, but the effects are primarily negative."

"Based on the degree of negative impact of the spell, the Black Curse can be roughly divided into three categories."

“A curse is the least negative, annoying but fun. For example, the knockback curse and the 'all-out attack' curse.”

"A curse of moderate severity, which can cause some degree of pain or injury. Examples include the Bat Curse, the Knee-Turning Curse, and the Toenail-Growing Curse."

"A curse is the most negative, causing intense or even irreversible pain or damage."

He paused here.

"...Today's lesson was a bit scary."

Dumbledore's voice lowered.

"About the curse."

He spoke slowly, as if observing the students' reactions.

"These are the three most evil curses, even among curses, and they are also known by wizards as the three unforgivable curses."

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom erupted in an uproar.

The Three Unforgivable Curses!

Although the names of these three spells are familiar to the students, knowledge about them is taboo.

Young people like taboos.

So right now, the students in the classroom, especially the boys, were all pale with fright, but their eyes were also shining with anticipation.

At this point, Dumbledore asked again, "Can anyone tell us what the three Unforgivable Curses are?"

Many people in the classroom raised their hands again.

"Um……"

Dumbledore looked around the classroom and pointed to Milton, who was next to Scott.

“You tell him, Mr. Grevis.”

"Yes, Professor."

Milton stood up.

"The Unforgivable Curse includes the Killing Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Imperius Curse. These are extremely evil and cruel black magic spells. If used on a person, the person will be imprisoned for life in Azkaban."

"Very good, correct."

Dumbledore nodded, gesturing for Milton to sit down.

"Ravenclaw gets 2 points."

Milton sat down excitedly.

Next, Dumbledore introduced the three Unforgivable Curses to his students one by one, explaining the consequences they would cause.

Of course, he didn't demonstrate.

Scott, meanwhile, was pondering Dumbledore's purpose in suddenly giving them this lesson.

As is widely known, Dumbledore is a multi-talented and busy wizard who often leaves the management of the school to the vice-principal McGonagall.

Scott felt that he wouldn't have come to teach this course for them if he didn't have a purpose, and he even specifically talked about sensitive topics such as the three unforgivable curses.

As he himself said, he hadn't stood on a podium for decades.

However, it's clearly impossible to understand why Dumbledore would come to this class just by imagining it.

Scott quickly stopped thinking about it and began to listen attentively to Dumbledore's explanation of the three Unforgivable Curses.

Dumbledore quickly explained the effects of the three spells.

At this moment, another student raised their hand to ask a question.

He was Scott's classmate, a Ravenclaw boy.

After obtaining Dumbledore's permission, the boy stood up and asked curiously, "Professor! Do you know how to use these three spells?"

At this moment, Scott quietly observed the reactions of the others.

Ravenclaw students, like the boy asking the question, generally have curiosity in their eyes.
