Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

Moody coughed a few times and turned the topic back to Defense Against the Dark Arts. He had to give them a powerful blow, otherwise it would be difficult to shock these little guys.

"Do any of you know which spells carry the harshest penalties under wizarding law?"

When Ron heard this, his eyes lit up again and he said, "I can do the same question, too."

Quicker than Hermione, he raised his hand and answered, "The Three Unforgivable Curses!"

"The Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Killing Curse."

"Good, good, that's a great answer." Moody praised again and motioned for him to sit down.

What about extra points? What about extra points? Even one point is fine.

Ron blinked and found that the other party had no intention of adding any points, so he decisively stated that he would not answer next time even if he was beaten to death.

"The Imperius Curse. This spell caused quite a bit of trouble for the Ministry of Magic back then." Moody said as he took out a transparent jar from his pocket. There was a spider inside.

"The soul is out of body!"

Moody took out the spider and tapped it lightly with his wand. The spider began to tap dance like a puppet.

I thought the little wizard would burst into laughter when he saw this situation, as all the other senior students had done the same before, even the seventh graders.

However, contrary to his expectations, these fourth-grade wizards put away their smiles and looked at the spider seriously.

"A terrible spell that can turn the recipient into a puppet."

"I heard my father mention this spell. It can completely control a person and make him do whatever he wants. Even death."

"Is there any way to break this spell?"

"I heard from my aunt at St. Mungo's that there is a way. But it is quite complicated as it involves treating the brain. If you are not careful, the person will be disabled."

"So how do you recognize if you've been cursed?"

"I remember hearing Mr. Dursley mention it once. Look at the eyes."

Theoretically, it is actually quite easy to identify a wizard under the Imperius Curse.

The easiest way is to see whether the other person's eyes are focused.

But most people don't pay attention to this detail.

Listening to the discussion of the little wizards below, although Moody's face remained expressionless, he was very surprised in his heart.

Are these little wizards really in the fourth grade?

That way of thinking would put those seventh graders to shame.

However, this is not the end.

The little wizards soon asked Moody a difficult question.

"Professor Moody, if we are under the Imperius Curse, is there any way to remove it ourselves?"

Remove the Imperius Curse yourself?

This is a very good question.

But unfortunately he can't do that, he can only curse people.

His greatest knowledge of the dark arts lies in its use.

"Unfortunately, there are currently no wizards who have been able to free themselves from the Imperius Curse."

After hearing Professor Moody's answer, the young wizards had a new understanding of the Imperius Curse.

But at the same time, new problems have arisen.

"Professor Moody, is there any way we can avoid or resist the Imperius Curse?"

It is difficult for ordinary wizards to resist the attack of the Imperius Curse. Unless you have a will of steel, you will be a piece of cake in front of the Imperius Curse.

Moody thought for a moment and replied, "It's difficult. The chance of success is almost zero."

"Professor Moody, if someone is under the Imperius Curse, can we use the new Imperius Curse to control him?"

This question is more in-depth than the previous two.

If our comrades are controlled by the enemy, can we take back control?

Moody took even longer to think about this question. "Yes, but your knowledge of the Imperius Curse must be higher than his."

If three people cast the Imperius Curse on one person at the same time, the result will be the same. It depends on who has a higher level of Imperius Curse proficiency.

Seeing that the young wizards were asking questions one after another, and the difficulty was getting higher and higher, Moody quickly changed the subject: "Let's end the small talk here. I think everyone should see the next of the three unforgivable curses."

If you ask again, he will have nothing left in his stomach.

He came here to teach, not to conduct academic research.

What's the next spell?

In order to allow the young wizards to see more clearly, Moody cast a magnification spell on the spider.

The spider instantly expanded to four or five times its original size.

The little wizards could clearly see every hair on its legs.

Moody pointed his wand at the spider again.

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"

Along with the clear sound of incantation, a dark green light was released from the tip of the wand, shining on the magnified spider.

The spider's eight legs instantly shrank up, pressed tightly against its body to form a ball. It flipped over, and at the same time its body twitched violently, shaking from side to side. All the little wizards knew that this was a painful struggle. If it had organs of speech, it would definitely be screaming desperately at this moment.

However, this is just a very common spider, not the eight-eyed spider that can speak human language and has a danger level of 5X.

So it couldn't wail.

Moody did not take away the wand. As the spell lasted longer, the spider began to tremble all over and twitch more violently. The little wizards saw an astonishing scene: the spider actually tore off its legs one by one.

"Please stop for a moment, Professor Moody."

The little wizards' shouting did not make Moody let go. Instead, he started to cast spells even further, like a mad scientist.

Until the spider removed all eight of its legs, leaving only a body and a breath.

"Extreme pain. People who are under the Cruciatus Curse will feel unprecedented pain. This is not only physical pain, but also pain from the depths of the soul."

Moody spoke softly. The whole classroom was very quiet. The little wizards seemed frightened by his actions.

"Now if you have any questions, feel free to ask them."

Just when Moody was feeling smug, the students' answers surprised him.

"Professor, we haven't seen it clearly yet. Your body is blocking our view."

Chapter 264 Avada bites the big melon

Yes, Professor Moody was not facing the little wizard, but standing sideways with his head lowered. His body just blocked part of the little wizard's view on the left, making it impossible for them to see clearly what he did. They only knew that the spider seemed to be in pain.

The reminder just now was also to tell him that he didn't see it clearly. But Moody simply turned a deaf ear to it.

This is rather embarrassing.

I can only do it again.

Moody turned around and took a special look at Neville, who was sitting in the last row. He found that the latter looked normal and remained calm in the face of the curse that caused his parents' mental breakdown.

Moody cast the spell for the second time with a depressed look on his face. This time he chose a position facing everyone and did not lower his head completely, so all the little wizards could see him clearly.

As the second spider pulled off all of his hands and feet, Moody retracted his wand with satisfaction.

He asked the same question again.

"Professor, this is a persistent spell. If you fight back while under the Cruciatus Curse, can you break the spell by knocking down the opponent?"

This is the problem again

Moody:.

"Professor, if we block the sense of pain, can we be immune to this magic? There is a potion that can block people's sense of pain. If we take this potion, can we be immune to Cruciatus?"

Moody:.

The students in this class are not what he imagined, and are completely different from students in other grades.

Their focus is wrong.

Well, something is wrong.

"Here comes the last of the Unforgivable Curses."

"Avada Kedavra."

When he mentioned this name, everyone's expressions started to become unnatural.

Compared to the first two spells, the last one, Avada Kedavra, is the most terrifying.

Moody saw the expressions of the young wizards and nodded with satisfaction. He thought to himself that this was the right reaction. His crooked mouth twitched again, and he forced out a smile that was uglier than bitterness: "The last and most powerful spell. You call it the Death Curse."

As he spoke, Moody placed the two legless spiders on the table and took out his wand and pointed it at them.

"Avada eats the big melon!"

Accompanied by a flash of dazzling green light, the two spiders turned over. There was no scar on their bodies, but their eight eyes were covered with a layer of gray.

Apparently they are dead.

The young wizards in the audience widened their eyes and shivered unconsciously.

The killing curse is a forbidden spell in black magic.

"It's not pretty, is it?" Moody said in a very calm voice. "There is no way to break the spell, and there is no way to defend against it. As far as anyone knows, only one person has ever escaped this spell, and he sits before us right now."

As he spoke, the young wizards all looked at Harry.

Finally there were no weird questions this time.

"The Avada Kedavra curse requires a very strong magical power as a foundation. Ordinary people simply cannot cast it. If you don't believe me, you can all take out your wands and point them at me, and then recite this spell. I suspect that at most I will just bleed from my nose. But that doesn't matter. I'm here to teach you how to recite the spell."

Moody paused after he finished speaking, as if realizing something was wrong, and added, "If there is no solution to the curse, then why did I show you these? Of course, it is to make you understand clearly. Only by understanding the serious consequences will you be vigilant about future events. Remember, if any of these three curses is used on a human, it is enough to imprison you in Azkaban for life."

"Of course, there are also people who use some unspeakable tricks to escape the Ministry of Magic's sanctions, just like the survival methods of dirty rats in the sewers."

Moody said as he lowered his gaze to where Draco was.

"Am I right, Malfoy's child? Your father lied about being under the Imperius Curse and did not serve the Dark Lord out of his own will. Just listen to what a lame excuse that is."

"He is the Dark Lord's most trusted right-hand man. We have seen him standing beside the Dark Lord more than once."

"This despicable vulture gutter scum should be thankful that he didn't meet me when he was doing evil before, otherwise I would definitely break his legs and send him to Azkaban myself."

Others have openly DISS your father. If Draco just sits there and does nothing, he will really become a laughing stock.

Draco stood up from his seat despite the two followers' pulling, and said to Moody with a gloomy face: "Professor Moody, I don't think my father is as bad as you say."

He had no idea why this old lunatic suddenly attacked him, but Draco thought it was not his style to not fight back when being scolded.

"You said my father is a criminal, do you have evidence?"

Moody grinned and revealed an ugly smile. Draco didn't know that Moody's purpose was to make him refute.

"Oh, you and your hypocritical father are so alike. Equally disgusting and annoying."

Moody suddenly grabbed his wand and cast a spell at Draco.

"The first lesson I'm going to teach you today is..."

"Never question a wizard more powerful than you."

However, Moody's smile froze just as it bloomed.

"Armor protection."

Draco pulled out his wand reflexively, and the moment Moody cast the spell on him, he cast a protective spell on himself.

When Dudley and the others were practicing dueling, they would choose to attack suddenly, and anyone who was slow to react would be fooled.

In the long run, the reaction speed of the disciplinary group members is naturally out of the question.

Although the protective spell blocked Moody's attack, it still forced Draco to retreat several steps.
