In fact, Lu Ping just briefly mentioned the teaching progress of grades one to seven with Moody, and did not mention much about the fourth grade (last year's third grade). After all, the learning progress of grade three is now that of fourth grade. It is also a strange existence in the history of Hogwarts teaching.
The learning progress of fifth and sixth graders is not as fast as that of fourth graders (last year’s third graders).
Who made this grade have a disciplinary team? It's so ridiculously complicated.
"Yes, you guys are really good."
He said in a slightly dry tone.
After listening to the little wizards talking about the teaching progress, Moody became more and more frightened. He really didn't know what he could teach.
However, the students in the audience said with a little shame: "Professor, we are much worse than you. We haven't learned how to deal with a dark wizard yet."
Moody's:.
That was just an exaggerated rhetorical device. Even if dark wizards were rampant in that era, a fourth-year student at Hogwarts would really not be allowed to fight against dark wizards.
This is not the more chaotic era a hundred years ago.
Moody coughed a few times and changed the topic to Defense Against Dark Arts. He had to give them a blast, otherwise it would be difficult to shock these little guys.
"Then do any of you know which spells are subject to the most severe penalties under wizarding law?"
Ron's eyes lit up again when he heard this, "I know this question too."
One step faster than Hermione, she raised her hand and answered: "The three unforgivable curses!"
"The Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Death Curse."
"Not bad, that's a great answer." Moody praised again and motioned for him to sit down.
What about extra points? Bonus points as promised? Even one point is fine.
Ron blinked and realized that the other party had no intention of giving any extra points, so he decisively stated that he would not answer if he was beaten to death next time.
"The Imperius Curse. This spell caused a lot of trouble to the Ministry of Magic back then." Moody said and took out a transparent jar from his pocket with a spider inside.
"The soul is out of body!"
Moody took the spider out and tapped it with his wand. The spider began to tap dance like a marionette.
I thought that the little wizard would laugh when he saw this situation. All other senior students had done the same before, even the seventh grade students.
However, contrary to his expectation, these fourth grade wizards all stopped smiling and looked at the spider seriously.
"A terrible spell that turns the subject into a puppet."
"I heard my father mention this curse, which can completely control a person and let him do whatever he wants. Even death."
"Is there any way to break this curse?"
"I heard from my aunt at St. Mungo's that there is a way. But it involves brain treatment, which is more complicated. If you are not careful, it will become useless."
"Then how do you know if you are under this spell?"
"I remember hearing Mr. Dursley mention it once, the look."
Theoretically speaking, it is actually quite easy to identify a wizard under the Imperius Curse.
The simplest way is to see if the other person's eyes are focused.
But most people don't pay attention to this detail.
Listening to the discussion of the little wizards below, although Moody's face remained expressionless, he was very surprised in his heart.
Are these little wizards really in fourth grade?
Thinking about things in a way that would put a bunch of seventh graders to shame.
However this is not over yet.
The little wizards soon posed a difficult question to Moody.
"Professor Moody, if we are under the Imperius Curse, is there a way to lift it ourselves?"
Lift the Imperius Curse yourself?
This is a good question
But it's a pity that he doesn't know how to do it. He can only curse people.
What he knows best about black magic is its use.
"Unfortunately, so far there are zero wizards who have been able to free themselves from the Imperius Curse."
After listening to Professor Moody's answer, the little wizards had a new understanding of the Imperius Curse.
But at the same time, new problems arise.
"Professor Moody, is there any way we can avoid or resist the Imperius Curse?"
It is difficult for ordinary wizards to resist the invasion of the Imperius Curse. Unless you have a will of steel, you will be useless in the face of the Imperius Curse.
Moody thought for a moment and replied: "It's difficult. The probability of success is almost zero."
"Professor Moody, if someone is hit by the Imperius Curse, can we use the new Imperius Curse to control him?"
This question has more depth than the previous two questions.
If our comrades are controlled by the enemy, can we take back control?
Faced with this problem, Moody took even longer to think about it: "Yes. But your knowledge of the Soul Imperius Curse must be higher than that of the other party."
If three people cast the Imperius Curse on one person at the same time, the result will be the same. It depends on who is more skilled in the Imperius Curse.
Seeing that the little wizards were asking questions one after another, and the questions were getting more and more difficult, Moody quickly changed the subject: "That's the end of the chat. I think everyone should see the next one of the three unforgivable curses."
If you ask again and again, there will be nothing left in his stomach.
He came here to teach, not to conduct academic seminars.
What's the next curse?
In order to let the little wizards see more clearly, Moody cast a magnifying spell on the spider.
The spider instantly expanded to four or five times its original size.
The little wizards can clearly see every hair on its legs.
Moody pointed his wand at the spider again.
"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"
Along with the clear sound of chanting, dark green light was released from the tip of the wand, shining on the magnified spider.
The eight legs of the spider instantly shrank up and formed a ball shape close to the body. It flipped over, while its body twitched violently, shaking from side to side. All little wizards know that this is a painful struggle. If it had vocal organs, it would be screaming desperately at this moment.
However, this is just the most ordinary spider, not the kind of eight-eyed spider that can talk and speak dangerously up to 5X level.
So it couldn't howl.
Moody did not take away the wand. As the spell lasted longer, the spider began to tremble all over and twitched more violently. The little wizards saw an astonishing scene. The spider actually tore off its own legs one by one.
"Please stop, Professor Moody."
The little wizards' shouts did not make Moody let go, but he started to cast spells even further, looking like a crazy doctor of science.
Until the spider removes all eight of its legs, leaving only a body and a breath.
"Extreme pain. People who have been hit by the Cruciatus Curse will feel unprecedented pain. This is not only physical pain, but also pain from the depths of the soul."
Moody spoke softly, and the whole classroom was very quiet. The little wizards seemed to be frightened by his actions.
"If you have any questions now, feel free to ask them?"
Just when Moody was feeling smug, the students' answers surprised him.
"Professor, we haven't seen clearly yet. Your body blocks our view."
