“I think it’s emotion, Professor.”
Scott’s short answer.
“When we use certain spells, we need strong emotions or beliefs to guide us. I think such evil spells also need corresponding emotions to support them.”
“Correct answer, you are right, Mr. Trollope.”
Dumbledore nodded repeatedly.
“This is a point that is easily overlooked by people, but it is also the focus of wizards when they cast spells.”
He gestured for Scott to sit down.
“Your answer adds another five points to Ravenclaw House, Mr. Trollope!”
The Ravenclaws in the classroom all applauded, and then the Hufflepuffs also began to applaud generously.
Scott sat down with a confused expression.
Don’t be so exaggerated!
The applause ringing in his ears made him feel uncomfortable.
But Dumbledore didn’t stop everyone, he just looked on with a smile.
Fortunately, the applause soon stopped.
Scott couldn’t help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Dumbledore said, “Mr. Trollope is right. Strong emotions are the point of using certain spells.”
His voice became deeper again.
“For example, the three unforgivable curses require strong hatred in the heart and a real desire to hurt or kill others.”
The students all fell silent and looked at him seriously.
“When you start learning spells, the professors will emphasize that you must be firm in your heart, and wave the wand firmly. Of course, this is also to let the firm movements hint at your heart.”
Dumbledore turned to other magic spells and taught everyone some tips on how to use them.
“professor.”
Cedric, who was sitting on the other side of the classroom, couldn’t help but ask: “If we encounter a dark wizard who uses the Unforgivable Curse, how can we resist?”
“This is a good question and the focus of this lesson.” Dumbledore looked at him appreciatively.
The students’ attention was immediately captured.
They eagerly want to know if the greatest wizard in the world has any way to resist the three unforgivable curses.
“As we all know, the three unforgivable curses have no counter-curses.”
Dumbledore said something disappointing first.
“If you encounter a dark wizard who uses the Unforgivable Curse, the only way is not to be hit by the other party’s spell.”
This time, the students were even more disappointed.
Dumbledore continued: “Unfortunately, the only options we can take are to avoid, use solid objects to block, or run away.”
At this time, another student asked: “Then how did you fight the dark wizard?”
“Like I said,” Dumbledore said, “dodge, or use objects to block the opponent’s spell, and then take the opportunity to counterattack.”
“We can’t do this.”
“Yeah, if it’s a dark wizard who can use the Unforgivable Curse, I’m afraid it’s not something we can resist at our level.”
“If it were in an open field, wouldn’t it be impossible to find anything that could withstand it?”
“Even if you choose to escape, you may not be able to escape.”
The students started talking one after another, and all of them were a little depressed.
Scott wondered more and more why Dumbledore came to such a class.
Destroy students’ self-confidence?
Or let them recognize the reality?
Milton asked softly: “Scott, if it were you, how would you deal with that kind of dark wizard?”
If it’s the kind that can’t be beaten, of course you can use the door key to escape directly.
Scott thought.
But if it’s the kind that can fight…
He thought for a moment and said to Milton: “My method won’t work for everyone.”
“What do you say?” Roger asked curiously.
“Smoke screen spell.” Scott said, “That is a tactic that can only be used by me who has magic perception.”
“…How cunning.” Roger said enviously.
“Smoke screen spell, it really suits you.” Milton was happy for Scott, “This way you will be much more relaxed no matter what you do.”
Since Dumbledore never stopped him, the class ended with the students talking.
Dumbledore left the classroom immediately after class.
This disappointed the students and made Scott more and more confused.
“What do you think…why did Dumbledore give us this lesson?” he asked his two roommates.
“What’s the reason?” Milton looked at him confused, “Isn’t this something that is already in the textbook?”
Roger said: “I think what Scott means is that we can study this kind of content by ourselves by reading books. It seems that there is no need for Dumbledore to come to such a class specially.”
“Maybe he is missing the days when he used to stand on the podium and teach?” Milton said uncertainly.
“Look at everyone’s reaction.” Scott added.
The two looked around.
“Everyone is a little frustrated,” Milton said.
Roger answered, “Still a little confused.”
Scott said: “Because everyone didn’t get a perfect answer from Dumbledore.”
“There is no perfect answer to that kind of question.” Roger said disapprovingly.
Scott asked again: “So… what did Dumbledore want to tell us when he came to give us such a lesson?”
“I think you’re overthinking it.” Roger stood up, “Let’s go, it’s time for us to leave.”
Milton patted Scott on the shoulder, “Oh, Scott, don’t become more sensitive than I was before.”
Did I really think too much?
Scott stood up and walked out of the classroom with the two of them in confusion.
He shook his head and decided to put aside his chaotic thoughts.
Whether he thought too much or not, just think of it as thinking too much.
I don’t need to get to the bottom of everything.
He warned himself.
Although Scott no longer thought about it, Dumbledore suddenly came out and gave a Defense Against the Dark Arts class to all students except the fifth and seventh grades. This incident became the hottest news and discussion topic in Hogwarts within a week.
Scott learned about it and found that Dumbledore’s teaching content for each grade was different, all corresponding to the course progress of the corresponding grade.
For a while, he believed more and more in Roger’s judgment, and he might really think too much.
So he completely put this matter behind him.
Time entered the end of May.
The first week of June is the exam week of Hogwarts every school year.
With the end-of-year exams approaching, the students of Hogwarts fell into the abyss of emergency review.
The school library was full of students reviewing their homework every day.
Even in Ravenclaw College, many students began to stay up late in the common room to review.
Of course, all this had nothing to do with Scott.
He still arranged his time step by step, studying when he should study and resting when he should rest.
Of course, he was not completely unaffected.
In addition to the efforts of Eddie and the Weasley twins, his Transfiguration Notes sold well again…
His Arithmancy career ushered in a peak –
Many students were willing to pay gold galleons to ask him to use Arithmancy to calculate the test questions.
