What Professor Riddle explained made the little snakes and the little badgers look thoughtful.Little wizards have always been warned that they must never learn black magic. Even talking about black magic seems heinous. What they can learn in school is some simple spells to defend against black magic. No one has ever explained it like Professor Riddle What exactly is black magic.

"Ordinary black magic, such as jinxes and most poisonous spells, is not fundamentally different from white magic. The biggest reason why these spells are classified as black magic is that they are too effective. Yes, this may be the same as yours. I have been taught to the contrary, but the vast majority of black magic is generally much simpler, more effective and more powerful than white magic. Because of this, when black magic is used to harm others, it causes more damage , the consequences are also difficult to remedy, which makes black magic 'dangerous'. In addition, most black magic has high requirements for users, and wizards must have strong magic power or control, otherwise, it is easy Out of control. Once black magic is out of control, it is extremely dangerous. Not only will it attack everything around it indiscriminately, but it will also easily cause backlash against the caster himself." Tom said seriously, "So, don't let little wizards learn black magic. Magic also has a certain reason, of course not because of the absurd reason that black magic is evil, but because the little wizard does not have enough control over magic power, nor does he have mature judgment to decide the right time to use black magic. It's easy to have an accident."

"So, the first point I want you to remember is that there is absolutely no need to treat black magic as a scourge. For the vast majority of black magic, the methods of defense against them are not the same as the methods of defense against ordinary spells. Difference. For example, the Disarming Charm always works."

The little wizards took out parchment and quills one after another, and wrote down what Tom said.

"There are also some black magic. If you are under a spell, it is difficult to simply use spells such as 'Curse Standing' to end the spell. You must use a special counter-spell. Due to the variety of black magic, counter-spells It is likely that only the caster knows about it, which also increases the danger of black magic. Of course, no spell is unsolvable. Of course, we have other ways to break the spell, but there may be some costs. , I will talk about the specific method of breaking the curse later."

"Curses are different from evil curses and poisonous curses. The danger of a curse is that the user must pay a price before casting the curse. The price depends on the object of the curse, ranging from a little magic power to a person's blood." Soul. One thing to note is that this price is irrecoverable. For example, you paid 20% of your whole body's mana for a curse. If it is a normal spell, 20% of the mana can be recovered within a day. But if you use the curse, the 20% of the mana is lost forever. Even if your mana level grows to be the same as before you used the curse, the lost part will never come back..."

At this time, one hand was raised tremblingly.

"Mr. Zabini, do you have any questions?" Tom asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh, yes, yes, Professor Riddle." Blaise Zabini plucked up his courage and said quickly, "Can you talk about the price you paid for cursing the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts? I am Say, if you don't mind."

The other students took a breath and looked at Zabini with the eyes of a martyr. It must be said that Zabini was too courageous.Although they were not so afraid of Professor Riddle, they did not forget that Professor Riddle was also the Dark Lord, and other students would not dare to ask such questions that might annoy the Dark Lord.

In fact, Zabini regretted it after asking, especially after seeing Professor Riddell's "smiling but not smiling" expression.

"Good question." Tom wasn't angry. As Anita said, under normal circumstances, Tom's temper is not bad, but because his aura is too strong, when he didn't restrain himself deliberately Under the circumstances, ordinary people would feel involuntary tension and fear just being in the same room with him.

Under the nervous and curious eyes of the students, Tom pondered for a moment, and replied, "I was young and energetic at the time, and I was too conceited. The price of cursing the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was actually much higher than I imagined." You should all know that the Big Four have set up a large number of defensive formations in Hogwarts, but what few people know is that one of the Big Four, Salazar Slytherin, has attainments in curses Extremely high, he also set up an anti-curse formation in Hogwarts. Cursing anything in Hogwarts is very difficult to succeed. Even if it succeeds, the price to be paid is extremely high. I know, so, although cursing the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is one of the curses I am proud of, it is also the curse I regret the most, and the price is really too high." Tom laughed at himself.

"Although I made enough preparations before the curse, or I thought I had made enough preparations, and the curse did succeed, but there was a consequence that I didn't expect. That curse affected my soul."

"Is your soul hurt? Now?" Anita couldn't help asking worriedly.

"No, my soul wasn't hurt. It's fine now." Tom gave Anita a comforting smile, "But I wish my soul was hurt, it would be easier to find out and fix it .The price of that curse is that there is a small problem in the connection between my soul and the body that is difficult to detect. What's more fatal is that I was too conceited at the time and didn't discover this problem, so that it left a hidden danger. So , Decades later, when I competed with Voldemort for the body, as the original owner of the body, my soul should be more closely connected with the body, but because of that hidden danger, I lost."

"So, although the curse is very powerful, it is rare among all the magic spells that can defeat the strong with the weak, but you must be cautious when using it, because you may not be able to afford its price. Moreover, it is different from other spells. Yes, if the curse is broken by someone other than the caster, the caster will suffer backlash."

"All the black magic I have introduced before, including curses, cannot be called evil, and they are only good or bad depending on the purpose of the caster. However, there are still magic in black magic that barely meet the definition of 'evil' Yes." Tom paused, and all the students focused their attention firmly on Tom, "Once these spells are used on people, they will face life imprisonment in Azkaban."

There was a little fear in the eyes of the students.

"Yes, the three unforgivable curses." Tom's voice was softer, just a little higher than a whisper, which made people feel shuddering. "Does anyone know why these curses are unforgivable?"

The little snake and the little badger looked at each other in blank dismay. They all knew the existence of the Unforgivable Curses, but no one had ever thought about why those curses were unforgivable.

"Mr. Malfoy?" Seeing that no hands were raised, Tom called Draco again.

"Because they are very evil black magic?" Draco replied uncertainly.

"That doesn't really answer my question," said Tom. "Why are those spells evil? There are many spells that can kill a person. If he goes to a high altitude and lifts the spell, he will surely die, let alone other more powerful spells. But why is it that only the Killing Curse is called unforgivable?"

"Uh..." Draco quickly recalled in his mind what he had read about the Killing Curse in various books, but there were too few of them, even though Draco had accepted the heir of the Malfoy family since childhood Education, the Malfoy family also has a lot of research on black magic, but Draco is not allowed to have access to that information yet, Draco replied hesitantly, "Because the Killing Curse is not broken... People who are hit cannot resist , will die instantly...Keradon doesn't even leave a scar on the target..."

"True, but neither is the reason why the Killing Curse is unforgivable. Pure use of white magic can also make a person die instantly without scars. Moreover, the Killing Curse is not completely irresistible. For example, although the Killing Curse It cannot be defended by protective spells such as armor and body protection, but it can be blocked by solid obstacles. The killing spell has a small range of action, and people with quick reflexes can dodge it. If your mana is not enough, the killing spell can even Not the most effective method of killing. So what makes the Killing Curse, as well as the Cruciatus and Imperius Curses, unforgivable?"

Tom looked around for a week, saw that everyone showed a thoughtful look, and continued, "The reason why the Unforgivable Curses are called Unforgivable is first of all because these spells can harm the soul. Second, to successfully cast the Unforgivable Curses, in addition to Powerful magic power requires a strong desire to harm the other party. For example, to successfully kill a person with the Killing Curse, one must have a strong malice to kill the other party. If a person's will If you are not strong, the Unforgivable Curse can easily distort the user's mind. Therefore, although the Unforgivable Curse is not that terrible and evil in the rumors, as young wizards whose minds are not yet fully mature, it is best not to use it. You You will learn many powerful spells later on, some more effective than the Unforgivable Curse, use those."

"Starting tomorrow, I will teach you various defense methods of black magic. Let's start with the three Unforgivable Curses. Don't worry, I will not teach you how to cast Unforgivable Curses, but I will demonstrate how the Unforgivable Curses are What kind, and teach you how to dodge and resist them more effectively. Well, I’m here today, class is over.” After Tom finished the last word, the bell rang for the end of class, and Tom nodded to the whole class, Turned around and walked out of the classroom.

The classroom was extremely quiet, and no one spoke. It was not until everyone felt that Professor Riddle had gone out of hearing range that heated discussions broke out.

The little snake and the little badgers walked out together, talking about what Professor Riddle said in an awe-inspiring tone:

"Merlin, it turns out that black magic is not evil magic."

"I have always felt that only talents can distinguish between good and bad, but I have never dared to say."

"But the Unforgivable Curses are evil, aren't they? Professor Riddle said so too."

"Professor Riddle says the Unforgivable Curse is 'barely' evil. Did you listen carefully?"

"Professor Riddle also said it's best not to use it."

……

Some students admired Professor Riedel very much:

"Professor Riddle is so cool."

"No one has ever been willing to tell us the truth, except Professor Riddle."

"Professor Riddle knows a lot."

"Not only is he knowledgeable, he is handsome, and his temper is not as scary as rumored. He is a very nice person."

"Yeah, Professor Riddle wasn't angry when Blaise asked such a question, and he answered it."

……

Anita grinned and raised her eyebrows at Draco when she heard the comments from her classmates. The pride in the corners of her eyes and brows almost flew out, but Draco's mood was a bit complicated, not only the depression of being targeted, but also—although Draco didn't want to admit it - admiration for his father-in-law.
