[Comprehensive British and American] Guide for wizards to eat and wait to die

"Mr. Longbottom, I'm starting to wonder if you're enjoying your days in confinement?"

Under Snape's taunt, Neville showed a wry smile that was uglier than crying at his cauldron.

Although Emma liked Neville from the bottom of her heart, a simple and lovely boy, but ever since she had the opportunity not to form a team with Neville, she abandoned him unkindly.

If Neville could barely be considered a genius in herbal medicine, then Neville was another kind of genius in potion science.

After all, not everyone has the ability to directly burn the crucible until it melts. . .

Emma silently prayed for Neville, only hoped that there would not be too many toads tonight, he was still a child. . .

"Emma, ​​it's time to add sage." Hermione bumped her elbow.

"Oh, yes!" Emma quickly brought sage from the other side of the table.

Emma has lived a happy life ever since she embraced Hermione's schoolboy legs (huh?), and now she is covered by Hermione in class and Tom in her homework. Please!

"You know why Snape has such a bad temper, don't you?"

Emma suddenly heard Ron and Harry whispering in the back row.

of course I know!Emma almost wanted to turn around and rush to answer.Because Snape's such a trash temper!

"yes"

But she heard Harry's voice.

"Because Moody"

Ehhhhh?What's the meaning?Do they have a past?

Moody was an Auror, Snape was a Death Eater, if anything ever happened between them. . .

Snape should be a bit uncomfortable, that's right, don't look at her usual aloof appearance, maybe she's like it in private. . .

"Emma, ​​did you think of something again?" Hermione felt a little terrified seeing Emma's inexplicable giggles.

"It's nothing, I just did some unnecessary divergent thinking." Emma waved her hand to show that her thoughts were very pure.

very. . .

"Miss Granger, Miss Leon, may I have the honor to know what you were discussing intensely just now?" Snape raised his eyebrows.

"Today's homework," Emma replied quickly.

"20 uses of sage" It's a pity that Hermione didn't understand what she meant. . .

The two are relatively silent, which is too tacit. . .

"Very well, I don't think Mr Longbottom would mind having two more people help him with the toad tonight"

. . .

Emma found Harry after class.

"What did you mean in class when you said Snape was in a bad mood because of Professor Moody?"

"Don't you know?" Harry's green eyes were filled with deep disgust.

"Know what? The two of them really had a past?" Emma's eyes widened.

"Snape especially wants to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he has been rejected four times in a row. He is dissatisfied with the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers. But he seems to be extra careful with Moody." If Harry Susi said, "I think Snape was a little afraid of him"

"Then he's great!" Emma suddenly felt a sense of awe for Professor Moody, who had only met once.

"Hmm~" Ron said fascinatedly, "Imagine if Moody turned Snape into a horned toad"

this. . .Emma glanced at Ron, but he was clearly immersed in his fantasy world and couldn't extricate himself.

What kind of hatred do they have? . .

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday finally ushered in Moody's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Speaking of this old Auror, Emma has heard a lot about his glorious deeds these days.

Moody was famous in the 70's for successfully turning all the Aurors who had become Death Eaters back on track without using the Unforgivable Curse, which was banned by the Ministry of Magic.

Considering Moody's face full of scars, it seems that no one is more suitable to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts than him.Emma couldn't help but have a glimmer of anticipation for this class again.

Soon, she heard Moody's characteristic thumping footsteps coming down the corridor.He entered the classroom, looking as odd and frightening as ever.From Emma's point of view, his claw-like wooden foot just poked out from under the robe.

Emma hurriedly pulled out the textbooks from the bag, but Moody stopped them immediately.

"Put these things away," his voice was a bit rough, he walked to the edge of the podium with crutches and sat down, "You don't need these textbooks."

No one among the students dared to make any strange noises, only the rustling sound of paper rubbing came from the classroom.

"After I received a letter from Professor Lupine, I got a general understanding of the basics of this class. You have learned a lot over the years, about how to deal with boggarts, werewolves, etc. But I found that-- --"

He paused meaningfully, so scared that the students couldn't help but hold their breath together.

"In terms of spells, you haven't learned enough, far from enough! This year I will spend a year teaching you how to deal with black magic..."

"what!?"

Someone exclaimed.Emma turned her head just in time to see Ron's terrified face.

"Are you Arthur Weasley's son?" Moody obviously saw him too, with a weird smile on his twisted face, "Your father helped me out of a predicament a few days ago, and that's what got me out Come out and help my old friend, Dumbledore, a favor. Yes, I'll only teach for a year, and then I'll go back to peaceful retirement"

Moody was getting old, but his memory wasn't fading at all.

Emma silently watched Moody take out the roster and roll his name. She couldn't help suspecting that he knew half of the parents in the class.

"So... without further ado, do any of you know which spells carry the most severe penalties under Wizarding Law?"

"I know!" Emma answered immediately, "Imperius Curse, Cruciatus Curse, Killing Curse"

"You are?" One of his eyes was fixed on Emma, ​​and the other eye lowered himself to look for the roster. "Emma, ​​Miss Lyon?"

Emma nodded.

"I remember your grandfather, he used to be a rare talent in Ravenclaw. Next, I will demonstrate these spells for you" That weird smile appeared on Moody's face again, and then he took Out came a spider in a jar.

Pointing at it with his wand, he whispered the incantation: "Out of body!"

The spider immediately tap danced, which caused a burst of laughter in the classroom.

Moody was the only one who wasn't smiling, the seriousness still on his face.He cleared his throat: "You guys think it's fun, don't you? What if you replaced the spider?"

The classroom fell silent immediately.

"Totally under the control of others, the person who cast the spell can even make you kill yourself. Years ago, many wizards were controlled by the Imperius Curse. This can make the Ministry of Magic very busy. They are busy distinguishing whether these people are being controlled. Still act according to your own wishes. But the Imperius Curse can be resisted, and I will teach you next."

Then Moody picked up the jar again and muttered another incantation.

"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"

Immediately, the spider's legs all retracted, clinging to the body.It rolled over, and at the same time, its body twitched violently, shaking from side to side.Emma could feel the spider's pain even through the jar.

"Extremely painful, this spell used to be popular too, you know what I mean. So next..."

Moody picked up his wand again, and Emma felt a little excited knowing that he was about to use the Killing Curse.

"Avada Suo Life Curse!"

Sure enough, with a flash of green light, the struggling spider immediately fell into the jar on its back.

Under the terrified eyes of the students, Moody calmly put away the jar.

"It's not nice" His magic eyes kept rolling, watching everyone in the classroom "It's very unpleasant. And this spell has no break, there is no way to resist it. As far as people know, only one person Escaping this spell, he is sitting in front of me now"

At this moment, Moody's eyes were fixed on Harry, and Emma suddenly felt that Harry might need some applause. . .

"The Avada Kedavra requires a lot of magical power to base it on. - You can all get your wands out, point it at me, say the incantation, and I doubt I'll end up with a nosebleed at most. But that's okay .I came here to teach you how to chant spells." Moody's expression was slightly proud at this time.

"But the professor..." Emma raised her hand weakly.

"What is it, Miss Leon?"

Moody's magic eye turned suddenly on her, which scared her a little, but Emma continued with her question.

"Aren't these three spells forbidden? What's the point if we learn it and can't use it?"

"Recent wizards don't use these spells, but when it comes to evil wizards . . . " Moody paused to make sure everyone knew what he was talking about. , stay vigilant at all times!"

Emma frowned. Although this passage sounded reasonable, there seemed to be something wrong. . .

Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this.

For the rest of the class, the students were busy taking notes on the three Unforgivable Curses.The whole classroom exploded with an unprecedented enthusiasm for learning.

Sure enough, the more taboo something can arouse people's curiosity. . .
