Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 75: First introduction to the three unforgivable curses

The chirping of birds in the early morning woke up Winters who was sleeping. Winters looked at his watch and found that it was already 9 o'clock. When he thought he was late, he remembered that today was Sunday.

"What's so noisy?" Neville said sleepily.

"I'll go take a look." Winters was looking for his shoes.

"I suspect it's the report card of the comprehensive ability test." Ron seemed to be talking in his sleep again.

After Winters heard Ron's words, he quickly ran to the common room.Sure enough, just as Ron said, a large number of people were tremblingly opening their transcripts.Hermione looked at her transcript and opened her mouth.

"Hermione, you should have perfect scores," Winters asked carefully.

"Oh...yeah...it's okay" Hermione looked at her transcript in disbelief.

"Um...can you let me see it?" Winters asked sincerely.

"Oh...don't laugh at me" Hermione said anxiously.

"Of course I don't - the average rating is excellent... the worst is adaptability but still good... you are too eager for perfection," Winters marveled.While he was talking, Aurora also came over with her transcript.

"The average rating is excellent, and the adaptability is perfect... I'm a little biased." Aurora looked at her transcript melancholy.

"What about mine? I only saw perfect marks for spell mastery." Winters suddenly remembered his report card.

"Oh... I was so excited... This is yours" Aurora took out Winters' transcript from the pocket of her sportswear.

Winters opened the thin envelope with some trembling and read in a low voice:

Curse Mastery: Perfect

Spell Diversity:Perfect

On-the-spot adaptability: good

Average rating: Excellent

"Hmm...how is it?" Aurora asked worriedly.

"Ha... it's much better than I thought. Anyway, my average rating is excellent. After all, I was a little out of control at the time." Winters gasped.He looked at Aurora overjoyed and said.

"The average score is 90 points, which is pretty good," Aurora said happily.

"It seems it's really the score of the comprehensive ability test?" Harry, Ron, and Neville had already ran out of the dormitory.Each of them was more excited than the other.The most excited one was Neville, who was already sweating on his round face.

"This is yours, but I've asked Professor McGonagall and she said it's all good." Hermione comforted Harry, Ron and Neville.

Despite Hermione's comfort, Harry and the other three's hands were shaking badly when they opened the thin envelope.When they saw the results, they seemed to have gotten a little higher.

"Winters, what's your average rating?"

"Excellent, you are also excellent?" Winters looked at Ron.

"My evaluations in all three aspects are excellent. Of course, the average evaluation is excellent."

"Ha, then we are the same," Winters said happily.

"What about you, Harry?" Ron asked happily.

"I'm higher than you and Winters. My main reason is that my adaptability score is perfect." Harry's originally gloomy expression immediately disappeared.

"Can I see it?" Winters asked.

"certainly"

"This is mine, come on, exchange it." Winters gave Harry his transcript.

"The first two are excellent, and your adaptability is perfect... I remember the examiner said you got perfect marks." Winters looked at Harry's transcript and remembered that the examiner said clearly that Harry got perfect marks.

"I think you may have forgotten that Slyer's father told us that the focus of this test is on adaptability. After all, fighting a dark wizard is not just about memorizing a lot of spells and throwing them at him." Ron patted excitedly. He touched Harry's back.

"Where are you, Neville?" Hermione couldn't help but feel nervous after noticing that Neville didn't say a word.

"My grandmother would be proud of me...I...the first two are good, and my ability to perform on the spot is excellent." Neville's tone seemed to be talking in his sleep.

"No matter what, we have achieved good results," Harry said briskly.Then George and Fred came over.The first thing they did after seeing Ron's report card was write a letter to Jasmine.

Monday, 8:00 am.Winters, Harry, Ron, and Neville had a quick breakfast and then went to their first class.The night before they heard that their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher had been changed again, and it seemed that Lupine was unable to return to school for some reason.

They ran out of breath to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.Then they saw a man who was very different from other Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. This man looked like Frankenstein described in science fiction novels decades ago.

The professor's eyes are one big and one small.He was in a wheelchair, with one prosthetic leg and one prosthetic arm on the podium.His face was lined with furrows.

"Alastor Moody, also known as Mad-Eye Moody, has been fighting on the front line since the last war broke out. Some people say that his heart seems to have been replaced with alchemical products." Neville said in a kind of way Said in a tone of extreme awe.Ron seemed to flinch a little.

"You guys, why don't you sit down quickly?" Moody looked at his watch and shouted in a hoarse and low voice.Winters and the others immediately found their seats and sat down.

"Everyone is here...it's almost time. Let's start class." Moody paused and said:

"I think some of you may not know why I became like this. Take a look, my eyes, right arm, and left leg are all fake, and there are even rumors that my heart was replaced.

If this story were to be told then we wouldn't have to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts, my random story would be enough to scare you away.

You should have also noticed that I didn't make any space for you to practice.This is because—" Moody's voice suddenly rose an octave:

"The first rule of thumb against black magic is to be vigilant at all times." This roar startled everyone.

"Some of you may have had experience fighting against terrifying dark magic creatures. But in my opinion, that is far from enough. No matter how powerful the dark magic creatures are, they are just creatures, not dark wizards.

And the dark wizard - you will understand when you look at me.Dark wizards are not only highly skilled in magic, but also very cunning. That's why - Moody suddenly raised his voice a lot again:

"We must remain vigilant at all times"

Thanks to the previous lessons, I didn’t scare too many people this time.

"Hmph, that's more like a Hogwarts student," Moody snorted.

"Professor Lupine told me that you learned a lot of practical counterspells last semester. And the comprehensive proficiency test a few months ago also proved your progress.

But don’t think that that little thing is enough. After solving it, I will show you some of the most important basic spells in black magic.

Although these three spells are not as cruel as other "up-and-coming" black magics, they are the roots of those "up-and-coming" black magics." After Moody finished speaking pretending to be mysterious, he immediately waved his wand at the blackboard. Then the blackboard appeared. A few spells:

Avada Kedavra

Soul out of the body

Cut out the bone

Although Winters has never seen these spells, he can guess from just reading them literally that these spells are not of the same type as the dark spells he knew before. They are more basic and more evil.

Neville next to him lowered his head and said nothing after seeing a few spells on the blackboard, while Elena, Elsa, and Karai looked at the three spells on the blackboard with very serious expressions.

Delk, Malfoy, Riley, and Pansy, who were sitting next to the window, all changed their expressions.

"Everyone raises their heads. Avoiding can't solve any problem. Does it mean it's dark now that we close our eyes?" Moody roared sharply.

Then as he waved his wand again, a glass bottle floated out of his backpack, containing a whip scorpion about 3 cm in size.

"These are the three unforgivable curses, not because of their powerful destructive power, but because they are the source of all black magic. Let me demonstrate.

I will use this unlucky guy to demonstrate the effects of these three spells." Then he waved his wand and opened the lid, causing the Whip Scorpion to float in the air.

"It's getting bigger quickly. Can the people behind you see it clearly?" Moody asked.

"I can see clearly," the students in the back rows timidly replied.

"Okay - out-of-body experience, come on, cutie. I want to see tap dancing," Moody said crazily.

Then Winters was stunned to see the whip scorpion's legs begin to slide rhythmically, as if it was really tap dancing.

Perhaps it was the slight laughter caused by the whipscorpion's funny look that made Neville raise his head.His head was covered with sweat and he was biting his lips tightly.

"Then - cut out the bones," Moody suddenly yelled.

The subtle but rhythmic rubbing sound disappeared and was replaced by a very subtle "gurgling" sound.The whip scorpion rolled back and forth, its limbs twitching violently amidst a subtle "gurgling" sound.Neville's face instantly turned gray, and the classroom fell silent.

"Neville, what's wrong with you...Professor, Neville can't stand it anymore" Hermione shouted anxiously.Neville fell weakly against the wall.

"I understand, Granger girl... Neville, wait a moment - Avada Kedavra!" After Moody briefly removed Cruciatus, he slashed down with a dazzling lightning-like slash. The green light filled the entire classroom, and it was accompanied by a huge noise, as if a huge object passed through the entire classroom in front of them.

Then, the students looked at the whip scorpion in shock, lying motionless on the podium.It was dead the moment the green light shone.

"There is still a chance of survival for the first two spells, but for the third spell, no matter how powerful your magic is, there is almost no chance of survival if you are hit." Moody said, focusing on Harry.

Although Winters had already gone through every spell he could think of at this time, and his hand had already grasped the elderberry phoenix feather wand.But he didn't believe that Moody would dare to experiment on students, unless he was crazy.

"You may have heard that I just said that almost no one survived. As for why I say almost, because there is a living example sitting in front of me - the Boy Who Lived. Harry Potter is the only person who survived from Ava. A person who survived Datsura's death. As for why, I don't know, because this is a very——" Moody didn't finish his words, suddenly grabbed a large handful of chalk and threw it at the students, Winter Si, Elena waved her magic wand almost at the same time, causing the pile of chalk heads to float in the air.

"Very good, it seems that someone still remembers to be vigilant at all times. get out of class is over, Neville, please stay for a moment. I want to talk to you." Moody looked at his watch and announced the get out of class was over.

"I've never had a class that was so exhausting." Winters felt as if he had been in class all day and was very tired.

"That's why Dumbledore arranged for him to be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. The pursuit of knowledge is very hard." Elena's expression looked like she had a toothache.

On the way to the Herbology class, Winters couldn't help but think of his behavior a few months ago, or even a year ago. He felt inexplicably nervous and frightened. He now understood why those Aurors had pale faces.
