Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 176
Neville sat back on the chair aggrieved, Hermione patted him on the shoulder, and mouthed in a breathy voice, "That's what he is."

Snape continued to move the other mice in the cage step by step, without looking at Neville again, as if what happened just now had never happened.

"In addition to the three Unforgivable Curses, there are many other black magics. Compared with the Unforgivable Curses, these magics are more difficult to master, so they have not been abused on a large scale, and no one can exhaust them. Black magic is indeed ever-changing. , It is impossible to guard against."

He finished this short briefing in a loving tone, and then pointed his wand at one of the mice, which probably knew that bad luck was about to happen to him, and kept running around the cage, avoiding the tip of the wand.

Snape murmured a weird spell, as if deliberately trying to prevent students like Christine from hearing how to release the spell. The mouse's efforts were in vain in the end. Even the surrounding cages were almost burnt.

"Very cruel spell," he said. "Because humans are too big, they don't die as quickly as this mouse—"

Seamus Finnigan raised his hand and asked in a nervous voice, "This is terrible. How can we deal with such a cruel spell?"

"Mr. Finnigan, your thinking is naive. Not all magic has special effects to remove the curse, especially in the field of black magic, there are only a few who have the cure. Most curses are born to kill... ..." He unobtrusively stretched his swollen right hand, "Okay, let's see the next spell."

He aimed at the next mouse and cast a spell in a low voice. The mouse was cut with deep wounds all over its body, as if it had been cut by an invisible sharp sword. It staggered and crawled a few steps under the cage , fell down.

"Unlike the Cutting Curse, this one causes wounds that are hard to heal," he explained with some complacency.

Seeing these cruel magics, the students were frightened and curious. Many of them were pale, but in order not to appear timid when facing dark wizards, they all sat on the sofa and pretended to be calm.

Snape calmly continued to kill the remaining mice with black magic. When he spoke, his voice was very low, and his movements were even smaller. When he turned a mouse into a small pile of flesh and blood, several girls had I couldn't help but was about to vomit.

He explained: "Your Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook "The Forces of Darkness: A Guide to Self-Defense" has a picture of this magic, where the victim is smashed to pieces so that the remains cannot be found. It is said that in the First War This kind of disappearance is very common in China."

No matter how miserable the death of the little mouse was, it couldn't arouse his sympathy or disgust. He continued to demonstrate black magic spells on them, and finally, there was only one mouse left alive.

"I remember a few months ago, we talked about the Infernal Corpse," he said suddenly, "Which one of you can tell me what are the characteristics of the Infernal Corpse?"

Hermione raised her hand with a swish.

"Very well, Miss Granger."

Hermione stood up and replied quickly: "Inferi is a creation of black magic. It is essentially a dead body awakened by a dark wizard's spell. They have neither life nor soul, and they will only faithfully execute black magic Wizard's order."

"Inferi are afraid of sunlight and fire, and like to hide in dark and damp places. Their skin is pale white, and their rotting eyes are covered with a milky white film. They have little intelligence, but they are extremely brute and powerful. Enough to tear the victim into pieces."

After answering the questions, Hermione sat down with a proud expression.

"It's pretty good," Snape said. "I've almost recounted everything I've said, but defense against the dark arts is not enough to rely on the scriptures. It also requires flexibility and extraordinary courage."

As he spoke, he propped himself up on the sofa and stood up, looking weak. He swept his wand over the dead mouse and muttered an incoherent husky spell. Peter frowned and sat on the sofa. Straighten your body.

It took him a full 5 minutes to cast the spell. Christine Evan leaned forward, hoping to catch some syllables. Finally, Snape raised his wand violently, and the dead mice suddenly went crazy .

The mouse with the cut wound on its body was the first to land on all fours, walking unsteadily at the bottom of the cage. Compared with the living mice, its gait was slightly uncoordinated. Immediately afterwards, other mice also started to walk, even the The pile of shredded flesh was shaking.

"Merlin! Infernal Corpse!"

I don’t know which student screamed, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil covered their mouths, Draco’s legs went limp instantly, and he almost slipped off the sofa. Fortunately, his robe got stuck In the gap of the armrest, Christine gave a hand and shoved Draco back into place.

"They're just corpses, they're no more terrifying than they were alive!" Noticing the chaos in the classroom, Snape yelled, "Quiet! Go back to your seats and watch!" After saying this, he coughed After sitting down, the classroom was instantly quiet.

He pointed to the pile of shivering pieces of meat, "Simply destroying the shape of the necromancers can't really kill them, but it can make them temporarily incapacitated. However, such an attempt is still half the effort. I remember Professor Dumbledore I talked about a spell against Inferi...Longbottom, tell me what kind of spell it is."

Neville blurted out, "Fire—Vulcan makes the way."

"Yes," Snape said lightly, "of course, ordinary fire can also play a role, but in the face of a large group of Inferi, it is not wise to scare Inferi away only by flames. The most terrifying thing about Inferi is that , people killed by Yin corpses will also become their kind."

Snape flicked his wand, and the Inferi mice scrambled to the cage of the only living mouse. The poor little guy felt the breath of death and screamed in fright.

A Nether corpse rat opened the door of the cage with its claws, and other dead rats swarmed up, and the neck of the only living rat was twisted in an instant.Then it staggered to its feet and joined the ranks of dead rats.

"I was controlling their movements just now. If I don't control them anymore, they will flee all the way to a dark and damp place, hiding motionless. I don't want to cause Mr. Filch the trouble of catching Inferi between the brooms." , so I won’t demonstrate. But I can also set an end goal for them, let them do some simple activities by themselves, for example, now I let them destroy themselves.”

He flicked his wand, and the Infernal Rats crawled across the classroom in an obedient line, and when they passed Ernie MacMillan's ankles, Ernie lifted his feet in disgust, and they jumped in one by one. burnt into the fireplace, reduced to ashes.
