HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

"Dad, will there be any side effects during the implementation of the Imperius Curse?"

Lycoris looked at her father, Severus Snape, and asked such a question with curiosity.

The aftermath of the Imperius Curse?

Under normal circumstances, the Imperius Curse has no side effects.

The reason why it can become one of the three unforgivable curses together with Avada's Kedavra and Cruciatus Curse is because after being hit by the Soul-Impering Curse, the body will be completely controlled.

Avada's Kedavra curse has a unique consequence, which is death.

Death is the freezing of time.

There will be no more physical aging, mental fatigue, and mental pain.

But the death caused by Avada's Kedavra is unexpected and unpredictable.

You will die when you are full of hope, when you are full of expectations, when you are looking to the future.

The Cruciatus Curse is completely different from Avada's Kedavra Curse. It makes you live - living in pain.

You'll feel extreme physical pain, but you won't be numb.

How could it be numb?

When you are under the Cruciatus Curse, you will feel sharp pain on your body, like a knife cutting into fire.

Your internal organs are ravaged and your blood flows backwards.

But you can't relieve your pain by touching, scratching or any other means. You can only moan and roll in pain.

The Cruciatus Curse is a one-time spell.

However, people who have been hit by the Cruciatus Curse do not return to physical condition after the time of the Cruciatus Curse has passed. They will also feel the remaining dull pain on their bodies.

And those guys who can use the Cruciatus Curse to torture others will not just throw out the Cruciatus Curse and let you go easily.

The terrible thing about the Cruciatus Curse is that it is a one-time spell, but it can be used continuously.

No one can withstand high levels of pain.

Because the pain is not additive.

It will debilitate your body after you have endured it, even if it is the same level of pain later, because your poor physical condition will lead to more serious consequences.

The Cruciatus Curse can cause a wizard's body to go into shock due to severe pain, or even worse, death.

People who die because of the Cruciatus Curse are different from Avada Kedavra.

It puts an end to your pain, both physical and mental, including mental breakdown.

There are also wizards with strong willpower and excellent physical fitness who can withstand it, but the wizard's body has been irreversibly damaged and is still being treated in the hospital.

For example - Neville Longbottom's parents.

Of the three unforgivable curses, the Imperius Curse is considered the mildest.

But the harm it brings cannot be underestimated.

The Imperius Curse can control other people, and it has the added effect of being able to see that person's memories.

Being completely controlled by someone's body is a very scary thing for a wizard.

For example, when ordinary Muggles want to harm others, they will easily die if they encounter someone who is not afraid of death and fights back with all his life.

But wizards are different.

Like Gryffindor's resident ghost, Nearly Headless Nick.

His neck was struck 45 times with a blunt axe, and he died unwillingly.

Think about it, if such a wizard was controlled by the Imperius Curse, how many people could be killed directly or indirectly?

The most terrifying thing is that the injured person will never find out who is the real murderer until they die.

Just like Barty Crouch Jr. captured Alastor Moody, if he used the Imperius Curse to manipulate Moody to kill Dumbledore, it would not only provoke internal strife in the Order of the Phoenix and make them fall apart, but also make them fall apart. The wizarding world was hit hard.

Dumbledore will never know until his death why his trusted friend betrayed him.

But Lycoris can also understand this behavior. In the eyes of Barty Crouch Jr., resurrecting Voldemort is the most important thing.

"Are you sick?" Snape's eyes instantly became alert. What was wrong with her?

Snape knew that the Imperius Curse he used on his daughter yesterday only asked her to make potions, and did not ask her to harm her own body, let alone use her identity to harm others.

For example, duels and assassinations should not cause her physical discomfort or pain.

"No, no, I just feel weird." Licoris shook her head quickly and said thoughtfully, "I'm still a little tired."

How dare Licris say that she noticed that Malfoy seemed cute when she was having midnight snack last night?

This feels even weirder.

And my father didn't really agree with eating so late - during the summer vacation before, he would look at me when he had late-night snacks, asking him whether he wanted to eat or not, and he looked at me so much that the food he ate didn't even taste good.

Snape breathed a sigh of relief. She was not sick. "I assume that if your brain is not broken yet, you should not read anymore when your body is tired."

Fierce.

Lycoris nodded obediently and said, "Then I'm going back. Dad, I'll come back tomorrow to learn how to resist the Imperius Curse."

Snape nodded and continued grading homework.

On her way from the cellar to the common room, Lycoris decided to go to her secret base to get something to eat.

"What would you like to eat, Miss Snape?" Angie saw that she was an acquaintance and happily greeted her.

"A glass of ice mint water, a bowl of ice cream," Lycoris paused, thinking of Malfoy biting into a chocolate donut, "and two more chocolate donuts."

"Okay, okay, Angie will bring it to you soon!" These are easy to make, and since it is afternoon, there is plenty of food.

Licoris leaned comfortably on the single sofa and ate vanilla ice cream.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw the long table in front of her. This long table was the smallest among the long table models - especially compared to the four deans' tables at Hogwarts.

Licoris stirred the ice cream to make it softer and creamier, thinking about what happened last night.

Angie didn't light candles in her secret base because there were so many candles in the kitchen. I didn't expect that when the candles in the kitchen were extinguished, I wouldn't be able to see him.

It brought a silver candle holder so that he and Malfoy could finish the midnight snack.

Licolis didn't seem to understand why she came here, and when she was eating and drinking, when she should have freed her mind and enjoyed the rare alone time, she thought of Malfoy.

Just like Malfoy, he didn't understand why he blushed last night. He had choked before, but he would return to normal after the cough subsided.

"Do you think Malfoy is acting weird today?" Pansy poked Theodore with a quill and picked up a cup to drink water. "He just loses focus while writing."

Theodore watched Pansy spit out a mouthful of ice water and coughed violently.

Didn’t you just say something? As for that?

"Today he suddenly asked me why someone of the opposite sex calls him cute."
