The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 209 209. The Three Unforgivable Curses

"Principal Dumbledore!"

A bolder student asked.

"Are you...will you teach us this class?"

"Yes." Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "I will teach this class."

The students cheered again.

Dumbledore raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"But there is only this class." He said, "Your old principal is old and has little energy."

The students made disappointed sounds.

Dumbledore said loudly: "Don't be disappointed, you know, I haven't stood on the podium for decades. And you will have a better Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester, I promise!"

"It would be great if it were true." Scott heard Roger muttering in disbelief.

"Now let's start the class." Dumbledore said, "I hope my teaching level has not fallen behind."

He walked down from the podium.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts, the original intention of this course is to let students learn how to resist various types of dark magic, including dark magic creatures and dark spells. Of course, this course also includes some duel-related content."

He looked around the students.

"I noticed that a group of students at Hogwarts have re-established the Fighting Club, with Professor Flitwick as the instructor. This is a good thing."

"Caccini should really listen to what Dumbledore said." Roger whispered in Scott's ear again.

Scott still ignored him.

At this time, Dumbledore asked, "I just talked about the Dark Curse. Who can tell me the definition of the Dark Curse? And what three categories are they usually divided into?"

Instantly, most people in the classroom raised their hands.

Dumbledore randomly pointed to a Hufflepuff boy to answer.

"Dark Curses are a type of spell related to dark magic. They are divided into evil spells, poison spells and curses." The boy stood up and said.

"Very good, Hufflepuff plus 2 points." Dumbledore approved his answer.

Then, he further explained to the students.

"Like all spells, dark spells exert specific magical effects on the target, but the impact is mainly negative."

"Dark spells can be roughly divided into three categories according to the degree of negative impact caused by the spell."

"Evil curses have the least negative impact, annoying but interesting. For example, the repulsive spell and the volley curse."

"Poison curses have a medium negative impact and will cause a certain degree of pain or damage. For example, the bat spirit curse, the knee-turning curse and the toenail growth curse."

"Curses have the greatest negative impact and cause intense or even irreversible pain or damage."

Here, he paused.

"...The content of today's class is a bit scary."

Dumbledore's voice fell.

"About curses."

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

"Even among the curses, they are the three most evil spells. They are also called the three unforgivable curses by wizards."

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

The three unforgivable curses!

Although the names of these three spells are well-known to students, the specific knowledge about them is taboo.

Young people like taboos.

So now the students in the classroom, especially the boys, although many of them were scared and pale, their eyes lit up with anticipation.

At this time, Dumbledore asked again, "Who can tell us which three unforgivable curses are?"

Many people in the classroom raised their hands again.

"Um..."

Dumbledore looked around the classroom and pointed at Milton next to Scott.

"You tell me, Mr. Graves."

"Yes, professor."

Milton stood up.

"The unforgivable curses include the killing curse, the crucio curse, and the imperius curse. They are all extremely evil and cruel black magic. Once used on people, they will be imprisoned in Azkaban for life."

"Very good, correct."

Dumbledore nodded and motioned Milton to sit down.

"Ravenclaw plus 2 points."

Milton sat down excitedly.

Next, Dumbledore introduced the three unforgivable curses to the students one by one, and told them what consequences they would cause.

Of course, he did not demonstrate.

Scott was thinking about the purpose of Dumbledore's sudden lesson for them.

As we all know, Dumbledore is a "greatest wizard of the contemporary era" who has many duties and is busy with affairs. Even the school management work is often left to the vice-principal McGonagall.

Scott felt that if he didn't have a purpose, he would not come to teach this course for them, and he also specially talked about sensitive content such as the three unforgivable curses.

As he said, he hasn't stood on the podium for decades.

However, it is obviously impossible to figure out why Dumbledore came to this class just by imagination.

Scott soon stopped thinking about it and began to listen carefully to Dumbledore's description of the three unforgivable curses.

Dumbledore quickly finished the effects of these three spells.

At this time, another student raised his hand to ask questions.

It was Scott's classmate, a Ravenclaw boy.

After obtaining Dumbledore's consent, the boy stood up and asked curiously: "Professor! Can you use these three spells?"

At this time, Scott observed the reactions of others calmly.

Ravenclaw students generally have curiosity in their eyes, just like the boy who asked the question.

The Hufflepuff students all frowned, as if they were uncomfortable with this question.

"Oh, a good question."

Dumbledore still smiled and motioned the boy who asked the question to sit down.

"Of course, I can use them." Dumbledore said.

In the uproar, he raised his voice, "I know their spells and can use them, but if I use them, the effect should not be very good, worse than many people."

He looked around again and asked the third question of this class, "Does anyone know what's going on?"

Faced with this question, the students looked at each other, and many of them showed disbelief.

In the eyes of many students, such a thing is too strange.

Who is Dumbledore?

Recognized by the magic world as the greatest wizard of the contemporary era!

As long as he can use the spell, shouldn't it be the strongest?

Some students tried to answer uncertainly: "Because you are not a dark wizard and are not good at using dark magic?"

Hearing his words, others nodded.

Indeed, Dumbledore is not a dark wizard. He was once the leader of people's resistance to dark wizards!

But Dumbledore shook his head.

"That's not the main reason."

He looked around again, and finally looked at Scott, who had not raised his hand in this class.
