Hogwarts card wizard

The Killing Curse means "absolute" in the wizarding world.

People under the Killing Curse must die, and this is the truth in the eyes of wizards.

The only exception before that was Harry, who survived the Killing Curse and became a legend.

But Harry himself didn't think so. He himself said that the Killing Curse still took a life, but it was not him, but his mother.

Now that Sirius appeared in this house, does it mean that "the one" has become "the only one"?

The answer is: no!

Bellatrix's Killing Curse didn't technically hit Sirius, it was counteracted by another spell!

Go back in time to a week ago.

Inside Snape's office!

Kevin originally came to persuade Snape to continue teaching Harry Occlumency, but as soon as he walked in, this "door" was blocked by Snape.

Unsurprisingly, Snape stated that he would never teach Harry Occlumency again.

Then he threw two things to Kevin.

One notebook, one bottle!

The notebook records the process and circumstances of Harry's learning of Occlumency.

Seeing this notebook, Kevin understood what Snape meant. He would never continue to teach Harry, but Kevin could!

And then there's that bottle!

In the bottle is a brown liquid with silvery shine, which looks very beautiful.Even in a static state, the liquid in the bottle will flow by itself, as if it is alive.

"Professor, this is..."

Facing Kevin's question, Snape didn't explain, but asked for the bottle back.

Walking to the table, Kevin hurriedly followed.

He wondered what a strange potion would be made from unicorn blood and horn!

There was a toad in a vessel on the table, Snape took it out and put it on the table.Open the bottle and pour the liquid on the toad, just two drops!

Two drops of liquid medicine dripped on the toad, wrapping the toad in an instant as if it was alive, but the shiny "shell" disappeared in the next second.

"Back!" Snape said flatly.

Kevin stepped aside immediately, only to see Snape draw his wand.

"Avada Kedavra!"

The green light immediately hit the toad, and the hit toad just moved slightly and died!

This is the "two sides" of the Killing Curse.

When it misses its target, it explodes with green flames.

But once it hits the target, it appears unusually quiet, and the cursed person doesn't even react at all, just like falling asleep!

Kevin looked at the toad on the table, frowned and asked, "Professor, what is this..."

"Shut up! Look carefully!" Snape interrupted him.

But the dead toad was still on the table, without any change.Just when Kevin couldn't wait, the "accident" happened.

The toad on the table suddenly came alive!

Kevin froze on the spot, recovered his senses and rushed to the table quickly. Even though Kevin hated the toad, he still held it in his hands as if he had encountered a treasure.

The toad was intact, and there was no trace of the Killing Curse at all.

Kevin said in astonishment: "Professor, this...you succeeded!"

"Success? Hmph!" Snape sneered, and said, "In my opinion, it's not a success, and I wouldn't even admit it's a potion!"

Kevin asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Snape explained: "Because it can't be taken, the curse remains. Toad didn't die, it's just that the Killing Curse was counteracted..."

Then Snape started a long commentary, which was unprecedented for Snape who usually spared words in class.

But even though Kevin's Potions scores are excellent, such an explanation is still difficult to fully understand!

In the end, Kevin summed up an explanation he could understand from this jerky explanation.

All in all, the "oil film" formed on the toad just now is a protective layer.Because unicorn blood can bring life, the Killing Curse, which represents death, is canceled out.

If walls and obstacles are physical methods to resist the Killing Curse, then the potion that Snape suppressed is "magic defense".

As for why Snape didn't think it was a success?Don't even want to admit it's a potion?

The reason lies in the limitations of this bottle of potion!

First of all, as Snape said, this potion cannot be swallowed, the curse caused by drinking the unicorn's blood still exists, it cannot be dispelled.

Secondly, it is pitiful that there is little stock in the world, but it is extremely expensive to use!

A toad needs two drops of potion, what about humans?

At best, this bottle can give two adults a "film". The most damning point is that this protective layer is not permanent, and the protective layer will disappear even if it cannot be adhered to for 1 minute.

The effect is very speechless, but refining it is extremely laborious and costly!

The extremely rare unicorn blood and unicorn horn, as well as those precious materials that Snape personally paid for this vial.

It is difficult to refine, the effect is dull, the consumption is high, and it is a "three-second man"!

Such a potion was naturally not a successful potion in Snape's eyes!

"Hehe!" Kevin smiled wryly, and said, "This time it's a loss of money!"

The precious unicorn blood and complete unicorn horns are definitely a sky-high price to put outside, but in the end they got such a thing in exchange.

It's as if you spent a lot of money to "choose a concubine" and start to do things, and people tell you: Sir!We are legit massage!

In such a predicament, it is absolutely want to cry without tears.

But when he thought about it again, Kevin felt that something was wrong. Snape didn't seem like someone who would do "useless things". If this thing was really useless, he would never take it out.

"Magic card!"

Kevin quickly thought of the key point. The duration of this potion is very short, but the magic card has no "shelf life".

The magic card was developed by Kevin's father and Snape, and he must have considered this.

So a kind of magic card came out!

Like the potion developed by Snape, this magic card still looks very tasteless.

The only advantage may be two points: there is no shelf life, and the consumption is very small.

But the reason why he is tasteless is because this magic card must be used by the user, that is, Kevin himself.

Simply put, Sirius survived not because he had this magic card in his hand, but because Kevin saw him being attacked and "ordered" the magic card on him to activate.

In other words, if Kevin hadn't seen Bellatrix's attack and hadn't "activated" the magic card, Sirius would have died.

Another point is that this kind of magic card is only effective for the Killing Curse.It cannot defend against other spells, and even if it is activated, it only puts a "protective layer against killing curses" on its body.

Except for the Killing Curse, which is a mortal spell, other spells will still cause damage, and the protective layer will still disappear when the time limit expires.
