A Day as a Foodie at Hogwarts

"Magic is the foundation for us wizards to gain a foothold in this world. Judging from the studied history of magic, humans may have awakened magic very early on."

As a professor, Snape's knowledge was worthy of his title.

"Human beings have awakened magic power from the earliest times. There are similar mythological stories in many civilization legends. For example, gods who can summon thunder and lightning, gods who summon storms, etc. According to modern magic research, in fact, these so-called gods should be The earliest group of wizards to master magic."

"And the earliest awakening of wizards should have appeared in ancient Egypt. You can tell by looking at the towering pyramids of ancient Egypt."

Yun He raised his hand and said weakly: "Professor, are you saying that the pyramid was built by wizards? But Muggles all say that it was built by Muggles relying on the power of science."

"Building a pyramid out of stone blocks weighing several tons or even dozens of tons is still a big project for Muggle scientific power even in modern times. Do you really think that in 7000 BC, humans were still in the How could the early Bronze Age civilization rely on so-called scientific power to build such magnificent buildings?"

Snape waved his hand: "Of course, the history of magic is not the focus of what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is magic. A group of people who awakened the power of wizards in the early stages of mankind have not yet learned how to use their power correctly. So they The use of power is primitive and crude.”

"It can only be used to simply summon thunder, fire, wind, etc. There are very few delicate magics. For example..." Snape picked up a water glass from the table, then let go and let it fall to the ground and shatter.

"Repaired as before." Snape clicked his wand, and the water glass that had been broken into pieces returned to its original shape. It was completely unrecognizable that it was still a pile of pieces before.

"The first awakened wizards couldn't do this. Modern magic can do many things that ancient magic couldn't do. Since 2000 BC, wizards have begun to study how to better control power."

"So the magic spell appeared. The earliest wizards discovered that the magic power can be changed through resonance with special pronunciation and magic power. And this is the earliest magic spell."

"Whether it is black magic or white magic, they are essentially magic spells. They are just magic spells in different ways. Yunhe, do you know how to define black magic and white magic?"

Snape's question was really meant for Yun He. His head shook like a rattle: "I don't know."

"Black magic, in a broad sense, is a spell that can cause serious harm to people. Under this definition, the vast majority of spells meet the characteristics of black magic, because even the simplest [Disarming Curse] hits a wizard It can cause pain to a wizard for several days. If a wizard with powerful magic casts the [Disarming Curse], it can send the opponent directly to the intensive care unit of St. Mungo's."

"So when defining black magic, there is a narrow definition. That is, a curse that causes irreversible harm to people and has no solution is classified as black magic. Most of the curses have solutions. It’s like a knot, once it’s tied it can be untied.”

"For example, there are many solutions to the [Disarming Curse]. If you cast a [Protective Curse] on yourself before being hit, then in a duel between wizards of the same strength, the two spells will cancel each other out. It will not have any effect. And even if these curses hit you, you can still be cured at St. Mungo's."

"Whether you are cursed with pimples all over your face, a whole bone removed, or a hand chopped off. As long as there is no cure for the curse, all of these injuries can be recovered. ."

"For another example, it is not impossible for Muggles to use guns to kill wizards. But unless the wizard's brain is completely destroyed in an instant, or the entire body is destroyed. Otherwise, as long as the head does not die completely in an instant, then we can rely on magic This wizard can always be cured. Even if half of his body is gone, it is still not a big problem. Wizards have very strong vitality and are not as fragile as Muggles."

"But the unsolvable curse is the most terrifying thing. This is the real black magic. For example..." Snape did not hide his clumsiness in front of Yun He. He waved his wand: "The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

The four legs of the stool Yun He was sitting on were cut off silently, and Yun He also fell flat on his back.

Yunhe seriously suspected that Snape was deliberately trying to mess with him.But he suffered from the lack of evidence and could not complain to Dumbledore.

"Professor, why are you doing experiments from the stool I'm sitting on?!"

"Because the stool you are sitting on is the cheapest furniture in this room. Unless you are willing to let me experiment with this magic on you..."

"Well, that's not necessary."

Snape pointed at the stool legs that he had cut open with his magic blade, and asked Yun He, "Do you see any difference?"

"The incision is very smooth, incredibly smooth. It's as if they were two completely independent individuals. Moreover, it seems that there is still magic left in the incision?"

Snape's lips curled up: "Yes, that's right. It seems you are not that stupid. Then, it will be restored as before!"

Snape cast another repairing spell.But this time, the cut stool was not repaired as quickly as the broken water glass.

The four severed stool legs seemed to be resisted by some force. They were suspended in mid-air, unable to rejoin the stool.

"This is the Unbreakable Curse, the real black magic. If you are hit by this magic, the wound caused is permanent. No magic potion or curse can remove it. If your hands and feet are cut off by this curse, you cannot use magic potions. Or the curse will grow new limbs."

The Shadowless Blade is Snape's favorite work. Although black magic is somewhat shady, there is no denying his magical attainments.In fact, this magic has a counter-curse, but only Snape himself mastered the anti-curse, but he did not intend to tell Yunhe.

Because he was showing Yunhe such black magic today just to make him be more vigilant.There are too many people staring at Yunhe. Who knows if someone will cast a black curse on him?

It never hurts to see these early.Snape originally thought that what he said would scare Yun He.And it was almost time today, so Snape collected his wands and said: "Okay, that's almost it for today. You should digest what I said today and start to preview the standard level [-] spells. Tomorrow... "

"Wow~! Professor Snape, that move you just made was so cool. What's it called? Shen Feng Wu Ying?! I like this move so much, can you teach me?"

"Ok?"

"Come on, come on. This trick is simply a must-have spell to kill people, set fire to your home, and travel. Hurry up and teach me."

Snape's head was full of black lines, and he felt that he had made a mistake.
