Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

The next day, classes at Hogwarts started as normal. The morning of the third day was the first defense class, and Lockhart had already entered the classroom to wait for the students.

"Children, your owls test scores are quite good. One-third of them got excellent. This data makes Principal Dumbledore very satisfied." The students in the audience, not getting excellent, asked around student, Lockhart had to be quiet.

"Students, you must all know that the wizarding world is becoming more and more uneasy now," Lockhart looked at the sixth graders in the audience with satisfaction, "As the principal said yesterday, the dark forces may Seconds, they're invading Hogwarts."

"So, now, it's even more important to learn the defense class well."

————

Harry appeared at the door awkwardly: "Professor, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Harry, why are you late for the first class?" Lockhart was interrupted and gave Harry a dissatisfied look, "Go find a seat."

Harry quickly grabbed the book, ran to the seat next to Ron and sat down.

Lockhart sorted out his thoughts and continued the class: "According to the teaching plan of the Ministry of Magic, sixth-graders should have a preliminary understanding of the Unforgivable Curse, but this semester is still early, and I have something interesting to teach you."

After learning from Chinese wizards that curses may also destroy Horcruxes, Lockhart took the time to go to the forbidden books area of ​​the Ministry of Magic before school started, and checked the information about curses, and found that it was a very interesting subject. While it's hard to help destroying Horcruxes, it's worth looking into.

"Curse, everyone must have heard of it." Lockhart waved and wrote the word on the blackboard with chalk. "The curse is not as magical as Muggle legends have it, it is essentially a form of attack and is bound by the same limitations as all other spells, there is no such thing as a curse that kills people thousands of miles away ."

"Confusion Charm, everyone must be familiar with it. In fact, Confusion Charm is not a spell, but a general term for a spell. Its uses range from the simplest - making our buildings invisible to Muggles; to the most complex. In the Faithful Charm - blocking the existence of a person or a place, it is reflected in all aspects of the wizarding world, and appears in every corner of the wizarding world." Lockhart continued to wave and control the chalk to write another word on the blackboard, for Lockhart The students are very used to using the wandless spell to pretend to be coercive in class. "Then why am I talking about the Confusion Curse?—because the basis of the Curse is the Confusion Curse."

"As I just said, the curse is a hidden attack method. It is obviously impossible to make a person unlucky or suffer out of thin air. It is also cast against the opponent's body or the opponent's approximate location." Lockhart said very much. Glad that the students were all focused: "The simplest curse is to hide, look at each other secretly, and then cast a curse embedded in a Confusion Curse on him, making him lose his sense of direction, and then fall. "

"For a slightly more complicated curse, you don't need to look at the other party, you only need to know the recognized name of the other party, and his location, and then you can cast the spell - to make the other party feel bad, encounter all kinds of unfortunate things, and even encounter Dangerous." Lockhart smiled, "Of course, some black magic can also be attached to the item, so that the person who touches the item becomes the cursed object. This is a very opportunistic method - I will not teach Your specific operation method, because I guess you children will definitely use it on people who don't like it without hesitation after learning it."

Sure enough, just after Lockhart finished speaking, at least half of the people, including Harry and Hermione, sighed in dissatisfaction.

"Maybe you can guess what the most powerful curse looks like?" Lockhart likes to sell the trick the most. "If you guess right, you can get 20 points for your academy!"

He looked at the students below with a leisurely look. Even he found out after consulting the materials. The students had no way of knowing.

Hermione raised her hand uncertainly, and Lockhart immediately asked her to stand up to answer.

"Professor, according to legend, is the curse of the mysterious person on the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts the most powerful curse?" Hermione guessed carefully.

"It makes sense for you to think that, after all, so many people are planted on this curse, don't they." Lockhart smiled at her, "Gryffindor plus five points, but this is not the correct answer, this curse is still the intermediate curse this Within the scope, the effect is only to make your defense class professors encounter all kinds of unfortunate things, but the person who casts the curse is stronger. And I guess, if I change the defense against the dark arts class to the black magic class, the curse will be It will expire immediately. But there is no need for that, because now the curse is about to lose its effect, after all, I have a good time in this position, haven't I."

The students in the audience laughed knowingly, and Lockhart motioned for them to continue guessing.

"Professor, you can't guess, tell me now!" Harry suggested.

"Do you think so?" Lockhart asked with a smile. After seeing a lot of people nodding, he announced the answer. Although he was a bit suspicious of changing the concept, Lockhart felt that the two could be linked together: "The most powerful curse uses the Confusion Curse to the point of being ingenious. It has a cool name called 'Power Word', commonly known as 'Prophecy'."

Looking at the surprised expressions of the students in the audience, Lockhart added: "Please don't misunderstand because of the word curse, prophecy is not necessarily a bad thing, and although prophecy and divination are somewhat related, The former is a spell, the latter is speculation about the future through observation."

"Prophecy, or Power Word, in addition to using the most powerful Confusion Spell, must also have powerful psychological suggestion magic. Its biggest function, or the way it works, is to let the parties hear the use of prophecy. and believe it." Lockhart wrote the word prophecy on the blackboard. "There is no doubt that this is a very difficult spell, requiring a mastery of confusion spells and spiritual suggestion magic, and Powerful magic support."

"Everything is limited, and the effect of prophecy requires harsh conditions." Lockhart wrote the number 1 on the blackboard, "First of all, what prophecy predicts must be possible, such as I'm going to die tonight, that's a possibility - but it's impossible for me to predict that Professor Snape will be **** and become pregnant tonight. It's impossible to make such a prediction because it can't happen."

The students in the audience burst into laughter, Lockhart waved his hand to be quiet, and then wrote the number 2 on the blackboard: "Secondly, the prophecy must be heard by the parties involved. Not only that, but the more people who hear it, the better. Human magic cannot be endless, so it is necessary to let as many wizards as possible hear this prophecy and believe it, which will inadvertently provide a steady stream of magical support for the prophecy. The more wizards who believe in the prophecy, the more powerful the prophecy will be. It's not hard to understand."

The students under the podium nodded, and Lockhart wrote the number 3 on the blackboard: "There is a price to pay for prophecy, the more vague the prophecy, or the farther the prophecy is, the smaller the price to pay, and vice versa. There is a huge price to be paid - for example, someone predicts or curses me that I will die tonight, or even predicts how I will die, then he needs to pay a huge price of magic power and even life... I challenge; and if that person just vaguely predicts that I'm going to die, then he pays very little, just that he can predict, because everyone dies sooner or later."

The students laughed again.

"Professor, can you teach us prophecy? I promise not to use it to harm anyone."

"I'm sorry, dear Seamus," Lockhart looked at him with a smile, "prophecy requires state and talent, it's not something that can be predicted after learning it. Although some people have learned it, they never make a real prediction in their entire life. . If you are interested, you can ask Professor Trelawney, at least I know she has made a few real predictions."

"So amazing!" Many students showed disbelieving expressions, and most of them thought Trelawney was an old liar.

Lockhart suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw Harry's angry expression. Harry's parents were killed because of Trelawney's prophecy. But you at least know how to deal with the curse."

"When you find that something is wrong with you, or your mood suddenly becomes very bad, then it is possible that someone is using a curse against you, and the first reaction is to immediately observe whether there are people staring at you, or you can find a place where no one is. Hide for a moment and interrupt the other party's spell, everyone can write it down on your notes~www.readwn.com~ Watch the following students start to write, Lockhart continued: "If the situation does not improve at all, or even worsens, then the other party It may be a curse on your name or location, immediately blocking your name with a special Confusion Charm, or hiding in the Faithful Charm. The Faithful Faithful Confusion Curse is one of the best confusion spells in the world. As long as you don't listen to other people's prophecies, it can block almost all curses. "

"And if you're unfortunate enough to be involved in a bad prophecy, then all I can say is you're in for a big deal. Not much: find a way to stop it from spreading, or hypnotize yourself to ignore the prophecy. But it's quite It's difficult, as long as you are subconsciously worried that the prophecy will work, it may work. Even if you use the oblivion spell to make yourself forget the prophecy, it will not help."

"Professor, if I like someone, can I predict that he will be with me in the end?" Hermione suddenly asked boldly, staring at Lockhart affectionately.

Pandora is still sitting in the classroom now, Lockhart glanced at her uneasily, Pandora squinted and smiled at him. Hermione is getting bolder and more direct now, and there is time to talk to her, otherwise the situation will quickly get out of control. Lockhart replied with a strong smile: "You might as well treat him like this, I believe he will like you too."

"Thank you, Professor." Hermione sat down with satisfaction, and she took this sentence as Lockhart's promise.

"Okay, after you go back, please review what you taught in class, and write a paper on how to deal with a curse. After a few classes, we will start to have a preliminary understanding of the Unforgivable Curse."
