Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

The next morning, Louis got up later than usual.

It was only when Colin started making trouble in the dormitory that he almost woke up from his sleep.

The storm outside the window has subsided, and the sky today shows a completely different scene from last night.

Louis and Colin went downstairs together. There was no one in the common room. They hurriedly put on their robes and went to the auditorium to have breakfast, only to find Ginny frowning at the timetable in her hand.

"What's the first class, Ginny?" He panted and sat down next to Ginny, picked up two pieces of bread from the table and stuffed them into his mouth.

"It's Defense Against the Dark Arts." Ginny said with some worry, "That new Professor Moody, is he really okay?"

"Although that old guy is delusional, he is still a world-famous Auror." Louis had to explain slowly with his mouth full of food.

What he is worried about now is just the relationship between Moody's authenticity and fakeness.

Several other students were discussing the "Triwizard Tournament". After all, no one alive today has ever seen such a grand event. Even Colin took Louis and Ginny aside and chatted. But Louis was completely

There is no desire to participate, although the final championship reward is a great temptation for any student present (except Louis).

After breakfast, the crowd dispersed and everyone walked towards their own classrooms. Louis also walked into Moody's classroom along with Colin Ginny.

It was another Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Slytherin, but the atmosphere in the class was frighteningly quiet. Even Astoria, who was not far away, just waved to Louis in a hurry and sat back in her seat.

Louis put "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense" on the table. A few minutes later, he heard the "creak" and "creak" sounds coming from behind him.

"Close those books." Alastor Moody staggered and placed a large box in front of the podium using a levitating spell. "You don't need these things. This is a Defense Against the Dark Arts class. What you need is actual combat."

Experience, listen to my explanation."

Everyone looked at each other with some excitement in their eyes. Their previous Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Lu Ping, was also a practical teacher, which gained him a lot of favor among the students.

"Okay, I already roughly know your level from your last teacher." Moody stood in front of the blackboard and wrote something quickly on it.

"To be honest, although you have a certain foundation, it is completely substandard to me. You probably know what happened at the Quidditch World Cup. Darkness will eventually return, so you will be the ones who fight against the forces of darkness in the future.

The absolute power of.”

He turned around and looked around the classroom with a magic eye. The students were stunned by his words.

Louis, who was sitting in the back row, saw a few big words on the blackboard: "Black Magic".

"Dumbledore invited me, but I don't like the excitement, so I only agreed to teach him a one-year course. I have one year to teach you how to deal with dark magic."

"Aren't you going to stay, Professor Moody?" Ginny, who was sitting next to Louis, blurted out, and the students around her all looked at her.

Moody looked at the source of the voice, and then he replied with a smile: "You should be Arthur Weasley's little daughter, yes, I will only teach for one year, and then I will go back to retire."

"Okay, let's get started." Moody pointed at the words with his wand.

"Black magic is evil and insidious. It is different from other forms of magic. Generally, magical energy is inspired from the wizard's body, but the source of black magic is not the wizard himself."

He drew a line next to the words "Black Magic" and then wrote on it.

"Research has found that the source of the power of black magic is a place called the Dark Dimension, which is a world that exists parallel to our world. Wizards use black magic to connect the energy of the two worlds through their own emotions and souls.

So you can see that powerful dark wizards are often ruthless, but there are very few black magic users who can truly control their emotions and souls from falling into the dark world."

"This is why dark magic is so powerful."

Moody's explanation gave the students a new perspective. They never thought that black magic had such an origin.

Even Louis was attracted by his theory, and the words "dark latitudes" appeared in his ears again. The last time was the prophecy of the crazy Professor Trelawney.

"Professor, I have a question." A third-year boy from Slytherin raised his hand and asked, "What evidence is there to prove that dark latitudes really exist?"

"The Ministry of Magic previously said that the existence of the Dark Latitude was a rumor in order to cover up the truth and avoid causing panic among the people." Moody replied, "But now, the countdown to the return of the Dark Lord has entered. I think the sooner you know these consequences,

The more helpful you will be in fighting black magic in the future, you want the truth? Yes."

After that, the old man waved his magic wand and opened the box on the table. Everyone saw that there was a water monster with teeth and claws locked inside.

"Can anyone tell me what this guy is?"

"This is Professor Grindylow." Colin stood up timidly.

"That's right, Mr. Creevey." Moody nodded approvingly, "Grindylow is a water monster lurking in the lake. It's very easy to deal with it. You just need to destroy its grip. Like this, your strength will be exhausted."

!”

The red light penetrated the glass and hit Grindylow in the water tank. The magical creature suddenly became quiet and stopped moving.

"This is your first knowledge point today. Of course, this is not what I want to talk about." Moody waved his wand, as if casting a transformation spell, and Grindylow in the water tank began to change, gradually shrinking into a ball.

, turned into a black floating bulk object.

"Gregorko, this is the evidence. I don't think any of you here know what this thing is?"

The class suddenly became quiet. Almost all the students had never seen such a thing before, and their eyes were blank.

"Who is that? Wiggins, please answer it." Moody directly put the question to Lewis, who was a little surprised why Moody called him.

"Hmm, if my guess is correct, this should be a dark magical creature, Obscurus."

"Very good, five points from Gryffindor." Moody clapped his hands, "The existence of Obscurus is a good proof. It is a dark parasite in the body of young wizards. It only occurs when wizards deliberately curb their magic when they are young.

It was born out of power, but in fact, the Obscurus is a creature that exists in the dark dimension, and it was because of the circulation of the wizard's emotions that it sneaked into the wizard's body from the dark dimension."

"But Obscurus, who just came from another world, cannot adapt to the physique of an adult wizard. Therefore, when those dark wizards use black magic, they will not attract Obscurus' attention. Only the emotional guidance of children is its best parasitism.

Taste."
