After Sylvia announced the news of the weekend speech in the morning, the time and topic of the lecture were posted on the bulletin board outside the auditorium at noon.Even though it was lunch time, a large group of students did not go in for lunch, but all crowded in front of the bulletin board at the door.

As the tallest of the three of Harry, Ron was pushed by Hermione to join the crowd. When he finally stood up under the pushing and shoving, he stood on tiptoe and passed over the head of the person in front. Barely seeing the notice posted on the bulletin board, he simply read aloud: "The first issue of Miss Sylvia Slytherin's Weekend Lecture on Ancient Magic will be held this Saturday (September 9) at two o'clock in the afternoon. Lectures will be held in the lecture theater on the second floor from 29:[-] to [-]:[-]. The theme of the first session of the ancient magic weekend lecture: correct understanding of black magic and white magic. Since there will be Ministry of Magic inspectors and newspaper staff coming to listen to the lecture, please participate The students of the lectures are neatly dressed and seated in advance. The PS lecture theater will be arranged directly above the auditorium."

Ron's thought saved the troubles of other thin students. A group of people crowded around the bulletin board and chattered about the lecture until Professor McGonagall came out of the auditorium and asked everyone to disperse. Walk into the auditorium in twos and threes for lunch.

In just a few days, the whole castle was filled with a sense of excitement and impetuosity, especially after it was rumored that Professor McGonagall received two officials from the Ministry of Magic and reporters from the "Daily Prophet" in the foyer early on the day of the lecture. All of a sudden it soared to the extreme.It wasn't even one o'clock after lunch, and many students were already jumping up and down to the reserved classrooms to grab seats.

Originally, Harry and the others, who were only planning to step into the lecture theater, ran out excitedly after seeing a bunch of people shoveling a few mouthfuls of lunch. Hermione hurriedly dragged them out of the auditorium and walked towards the second floor.

"What's the situation in this lecture theater?" Ron asked after swallowing the sausage in his mouth, "I haven't seen this classroom before."

"Maybe it's a newly tidied classroom. Most of the rooms in Hogwarts are actually empty." Hermione immediately walked in front of Harry and the others.

With this in mind, when they stepped into the so-called newly tidied classroom, they stood at the door of the classroom in a daze for a while—this is not so much a classroom as it is a hall, as the name suggests. Said that this classroom is not smaller than the auditorium on the first floor, surrounded by rows of stepped wooden benches that are getting higher and higher. Walking up the stairs, you can clearly see the classroom no matter which row A clearing at the bottom of the middle.

"Isn't this what Miss Slytherin did in the speech in the auditorium before!" While Harry and the others were in a daze, other students came in one after another, and everyone looked at the sudden change in admiration. The newly emerged large classroom.

"That's right. Although the auditorium can be transformed into the same speech as before, it's a bit troublesome to change it all the time, so I found three large classrooms and put them together to make a lecture hall." Sylvia's voice suddenly came from the end of the crowd. When it came, everyone was surprised and hurried out of the way.

Sylvia is wearing a long black velvet gown made of fine material today. There are some inconspicuous dark green dark lines on the corners and back of the light and thin gown. When she walked into the classroom, the light came in from the classroom window. The silver shimmer faintly reflected in the sunlight, coupled with the appearance of holding a stack of books and parchment scrolls, an intellectual atmosphere of books exudes.

"Everyone can find a seat and sit down first. The lecture will start in one hour." Sylvia nodded to everyone with a smile and said, then turned to the back and said: "The podium is on the left, and the half side facing the ladder seat is the right place. OK."

As Sylvia's voice fell, a huge figure appeared behind everyone, and the crowded door suddenly emptied out. Miss Slytherin and Miss Camille, a girl in the sixth grade, carried a wooden podium almost twice her body on her left shoulder, and walked into the classroom with a relaxed look on her face!

Although I know that Miss Camille has been able to skillfully manipulate Wolfsbane to gain powerful power... but look at her now!The wolf ears that pop out of the head when there is no force!I didn't see the wolf's tail either!Could it be that she is carrying a podium that is twice her size indifferently with this face, so there is no need to arouse Wolfsbane's power? !

Taking advantage of the opportunity that there were not many people arriving early, Hermione tested the visibility on the stairs at different heights, and finally chose a seat in the third row, and pulled Harry and Ron to sit down.

"Tell you, Harry," Ron turned to chat with Harry as soon as he sat down, "I actually saw Fred and George holding quills in the lounge last night, huddled in the corner of the lounge, It's like studying a piece of parchment! Can you imagine! That's Fred and George! They are quietly studying something in the corner!"

Harry's eyes widened in surprise. It's really hard to imagine the Weasley family's most mischievous twin brothers studying something with a pen and paper, but Harry quickly remembered that they were sitting and writing together at the Burrow At that time, I seem to remember what they said to Sister Sylvia?

"You mean another order for Weasley's Magical Mischief toys?" Ron asked.

"Well, it's possible, but if it's an order form, Lee Jordan will definitely participate, right?"

"I don't know what they got up again! Mom was super angry about that order, but don't you think it's funny!" Ron looked yearning.

Harry knew that as the youngest boy in the family, Ron had always envied his brothers. Even the naughtiest Fred and George had made some money over the years on the prank toys they developed alone. The dresses to be used, the dresses of the twins are still new ones bought by themselves, but Ron himself can only wear the second-hand vintage dresses bought by Weasley *masked keywords*... that's all Harry can describe That maroon dress with terrible taste, I feel a little sympathetic when I think that Ron will really wear that dress when the time comes.

"Ah! You said it might be a plan related to participating in the Triwizard Tournament?!" Ron suddenly yelled.

"Can't you be quiet for a while! I have to prepare something for the lecture!" Hermione turned her head and gave Ron a hard look.

After being scolded by Hermione, Harry and Ron realized that it was a Saturday when there were no classes. Hermione was still carrying her schoolbag, which was so huge and heavy that it would definitely smash someone into the hospital wing. Two quills, two very thick notebooks, one open on his lap, the other and one of the quills beside him.

"What are you doing? Why do you act like you are going to give a speech..."

"Copy your notes! Today is Senior Sister Sylvia's first official lecture, and officials from the Ministry of Magic and newspaper reporters are all coming to listen to the lecture! Of course, you must be fully prepared for such a rare opportunity." Hermione said He patted the notebook on his lap, "This is my handwritten notebook," and then pointed to another notebook on the seat beside me, "That's the notebook I'm going to try the automatic writing spell for a while."

Ron had an incomprehensible expression on his face, "One copy of the notebook is fine, why do you need so many copies..."

"This is the first time I've used the automatic writing spell. If I fail to write down the important content because the spell fails, I'm done! Of course I have to prepare my own handwritten notebook!" Hermione said with a natural look on her face. , and then added, "By the way, you just said that Fred and George may be thinking about how to fool the age limit that Headmaster Dumbledore said? I don't think they will succeed, and you two should not follow Going to join in the fun is a violation of school rules!"

Ron turned his head quietly, rolled his eyes at Harry, and made a mouth shape: "She still wants to violate the school rules?! At this time?!"

One hour passed quickly, and the lecture theater was almost completely full. 10 minutes before the start, professors from various subjects came in one after another, and they seemed to be planning to listen to the lecture together. Principal Dumbledore brought three middle-aged men Also walked in and sat in the first row.

Sylvia took out her pocket watch and glanced at it, then said with a smile, "It's almost time, let's start."

"The overall goal of this entire lecture is to introduce ancient magic to everyone. Of course, the scope of this topic is too wide after all, and it cannot be covered in one or two lectures. Therefore, it will be divided into small parts to explain one by one. Today's topic is' Black magic and white magic'." Sylvia's clear voice echoed in the classroom, Hermione looked worriedly at the first row, the seat she chose was in the middle, and Dumbledore was sitting in the row in front The Headmaster and two Ministry of Magic officials.

Although the man who looked very much like a reporter sitting next to Professor McGonagall and the two officials took out their notebooks to record something, it is obvious that they have always been very opposed to black magic and are almost about to use it For the Ministry of Magic officials who are included in the scope of prohibited use and study as a whole, the content of their records must be very different from that reporter.

I hope the senior can successfully complete today's speech and explain the matter of black magic smoothly... Hermione was thinking worriedly, but she didn't notice at all that if it was her in the past, she would definitely reject knowledge about black magic first.Hermione Granger in the fourth grade is no longer the little girl with a rigid head who only knew about learning and narrow justice when she first entered school. In the past few years, she has experienced many people who may not be able to experience in a lifetime. The things that have happened - Hermione chose to muster up the courage to fight him on the fork in the road of fighting Voldemort or turning a blind eye, seeing the terrible consequences of soul splitting, meeting a Slytherin girl... Although the girl seems a little She stayed away from her due to difficulties, but Hermione was unexpectedly not worried. She was no longer the silly girl who couldn't rub a little sand in her eyes.

Sylvia's speech is still going on.

"First of all, in terms of definition, although the terms black magic and white magic existed in ancient times, they were generally speaking among wizards who could not understand the connotation. In the era of Teacher Salazar, black magic was precisely defined. In other words, it should be a vague general term for necromancy series magic. In a short speech two years ago, I have also explained the basic scope of necromancy magic-the death secret method with life and death as the purpose of casting spells and the heart and soul as the core. Lord of Soul Magic.

But as I have said in previous lectures, the modern definition, especially in terms of black magic, has a very different meaning. Modern black magic has completely transformed the necromancy of the past into a much more dangerous kind of magic.

Speaking of this, we can just start today's first topic - the similarities and differences between necromancy and modern black magic.

I do not deny that modern black magic has its origins in ancient necromancy, and I have written about this in my recently published book, and I have analyzed in detail many of the obvious inheritances of spells in modern black magic and necromancy.Although I didn't expect that such a boring book would be sold out all of a sudden, so that even the author myself didn't have a new book... Ah, but everyone is still welcome to write and actively subscribe to my humble work! "Sylvia promoted her new book amusingly, which caused everyone to laugh, and immediately relieved the tension caused by explaining such a sensitive topic as black magic.

After seeing everyone's expressions, Sylvia continued: "Let's get back to the topic.

The whole concept of necromancy is to use negative psychic powers to cast spells.

For example, there are a large number of instant-death magic in the death secret method, which is to detect a certain indicator of both the caster and the subject after the spell is cast, and this indicator will vary according to the magic.The Killing Curse, which is currently listed as the three unforgivable curses by the Ministry of Magic, is a type of instant death magic in the death secrets. It tests the determination of both parties to life and death.

To put it simply, the test indicator of this spell is the determination of the caster of the death curse to want the subject to die and the determination of the subject to think that he can survive. Instantaneous Willpower check.If the subject's willpower to believe that he will not die at all is stronger, the killing curse will not actually succeed. Sylvia smiled and threw out a shocking news.
