Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 126 Infernal Corpse Werewolf Dementor

"Infernal corpses are dangerous black magic creations. They are dead bodies awakened by the black wizard's spell. They have neither life nor soul. They can only faithfully execute the orders of the dark wizard like a marionette."

After explaining the definition of Inferi, Snape paused for a while, Hermione took out the notebook first, and took notes on the "Wizard's Combat Guide". Soon, there was a soft sound of quill pen rubbing parchment in the classroom .

"The skin of ghouls is usually pale, because they don't have blood. The biggest difference between them and living people is their eyes. The eyes of ghouls are covered with a milky white film, and you can't see their pupils."

Snape continued in a low voice, and the students were still taking notes carefully. The picture he described was actually terrifying, but no matter what it was, as long as it came out of his mouth, it would be the most eye-catching and exciting The sensory part of man seems to disappear.

"Inferi have little intelligence, but their terrifying brute force is enough to tear their victims into pieces. It is said that in some cases, the victims will be transformed into their own kind, while in others, the victims will only become A puddle—"

Snape paused again, no matter how cold his tone, the words turned several students' faces pale, and Neville's quill fell to the ground.

"—Minced meat." He slightly raised his tone, "So, it is unwise to rashly fight multiple ghost corpses."

"Professor," Harry asked, raising his hand, "how should we deal with Inferi?"

Snape showed his usual sarcasm expression: "At your current level, running away is the most sensible choice - Inferi are not alive, so they will not die, but they hate light, especially the sun, and they are also afraid of fire. Burning them all with fire is currently known as several practical methods of destroying Inferi, and of course, certain spells are more effective."

"So, will there be a ghost hidden in the castle?" Parvati asked in horror.

"Infernal corpses usually hide in cold, damp, and dark places, and they especially like to soak in dark lakes that don't see light—"

"Could there be an Inferi in the Black Lake?" Harry asked in shock. He didn't want the second project to be fighting an Inferi.

"I don't think so, Mr. Potter, if you will hear me out... I don't think there are ghouls anywhere in Hogwarts, it's full of fireplaces and torches, and at the same time, ancient magic Guarding here, black magic cannot easily get involved."

The students seemed a little more relieved, and Snape signaled to Peter that he was done. Peter didn't know if he had ever seen a real Inferi, but he knew about Inferi very well.

"Next is—" Peter picked up the Ministry pamphlet, "Werewolves."

"Very interesting," Snape said deadpan.

"Does anyone know the characteristics of werewolves?"

Hermione raised her hand high: "Werewolves will turn into wolves on the night of the full moon and lose their minds. Wizards bitten by werewolves will also turn into werewolves."

"Great grasp, Miss Granger." Peter said approvingly, "Transformed werewolves are very cruel, but they are completely different from Infernal corpses. Werewolves are no different from ordinary people when they are not deformed. They have great influence on wizard society. The hatred is in fact the result of long-standing discrimination and oppression."

Draco shook his head inconspicuously, and beside him, Blaise Zabini said contemptuously: "Professor Peddie, I'm afraid I disagree, as we all know, a werewolf is a kind of beast and has no soul. Deserving only to die—”

"Mr Zabini," Peter interrupted, "I think I'm the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor here and know more about werewolves than you do."

"But...professor, this is misleading. Real werewolves are cruel."

"I have seen gentle werewolves, and I have seen cruel wizards. Whether a person is cruel or not has nothing to do with whether he is a werewolf. The discrimination of wizards against werewolves fully reflects the arrogance of some people. Similar to this, some wizards The same goes for the contempt for Muggles."

Zabini stopped talking, but his expression showed that he didn't approve of Peter's words. Draco lowered his head in fear, as if he was afraid of meeting Snape's gaze.

Out of the corner of his eye Peter glanced at Snape, who remained expressionless.

"Okay," Peter turned a page of the booklet, "the next item is dementors, the notorious guards in Azkaban, they will suck positive memories and emotions from the prisoners' hearts, and the average prisoner will die within a few days. I just went crazy, I can't even scream... The most terrifying thing about dementors is their kiss, which can take away a person's soul, which is considered a more painful punishment than death..."

"Unfortunately, dementors cannot be killed. They breed in dark corners. As long as the evil thoughts in human hearts do not disappear, dementors will continue to multiply, but we can protect ourselves with the Patronus Charm—this is It is a very advanced spell that is not within the teaching scope of Hogwarts, and even adult wizards are rarely mastered."

He stood up and drew out his wand to demonstrate. A silver mouse jumped out from the tip of his wand. Most of the students were amazed, only Theodore Knott laughed twice.

"Heh, the patron saint of mice..." he whispered with a sneer.

"Mr. Nott, the Patronus is a symbol of positive inner strength, and its external form does not affect the power contained in it." Peter said, "I think you should have heard the story of the orphan Elius, who used a weak The Patronus of Rats defeated an army of dementors—”

Peter's Patronus jumped onto Nott's lap and said in Peter's voice, "Now, please cooperate with me and show everyone how to release the Patronus Charm." After speaking, it disappeared into the air.

Nott stood up with a livid face, and walked to the open space in the middle, more than 40 eyes focused on him.

"Very well, the spell is 'Call God's Protection'."

"Body-guard." Nott repeated impatiently.

"Call God to protect you." Peter corrected Nott kindly, and then he pinched Nott's hand holding the wand and waved it in the air, "The wand needs to be waved like this, understand? While reciting the spell, recall the happiest moment in your heart." things—well, try it yourself."

"Hu-hu god guards—" Nott swung his wand viciously, but nothing happened, Luna Lovegood shook her head slightly.

"Call God to protect!" He shouted the spell even louder, this time, a weak white barrier appeared on the tip of his staff.

"That's right," Peter encouraged against his will, "Mr. Nott has conjured up a shapeless Patronus, as long as you practice more—"

Peter stopped, and he saw that Nott's hands and shoulders were shaking, as if he couldn't hold his wand, and then, the white barrier turned purple-black from the inside out.

"Stop!" Peter stepped forward and grabbed Nott's wand forcefully, but it seemed to be stuck with a permanent sticking charm.

Snape also stood up from the sofa, and he drew his wand quickly. "All curses end!" he roared.

"Expelliarmus!" A blinding red light shot out from Peter's aspen wand. Nott turned around a few times and fell on a large box. on the ground.

Peter rushed forward and pulled Nott up to check whether he was injured. A sinister hissing sound came from Peter's arms: "Snake, calm down, don't hurt him!"

Snape panted, flattened his wand, and pointed it at Nott.

"Not, don't you know? The dark wizard will be backlashed if he rashly summons the Patronus!" he said sharply.

"There's... a basilisk!" Nott pointed to the smashed box, inside which was a green venomous snake unfolding its muscular body.

"I smell...a lot of Muggles..." it said.
