There isn’t much new in the second week of school.
On Thursday, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Moody announced that he would take turns reciting the Imperius Curse on each student to demonstrate the power of the spell and see if they could resist its influence.
As soon as he said these words, there was a boom in the classroom, and all kinds of discussions suddenly surged up like a flood.
Casting the Unforgivable Curse on another wizard is punishable by life imprisonment. The little wizards did not expect that Moody would dare to do this.
Moody ignored him and began to call on his classmates to come forward in turn and recite the Imperius Curse to them.
Under the influence of the spell, the students performed the most abnormal actions one after another.
Blaise jumped around the classroom three times, Pansy imitated a squirrel, and Neville performed a series of amazing gymnastic moves that he would never have been able to do under normal circumstances. None of them seemed to be able to resist the spell, and they all returned to normal after Moody removed the spell.
"Draco Malfoy," Moody's voice rumbled, "it's your turn."
Draco shrugged and walked to the center of the classroom. Moody raised his wand, pointed it at Draco, and said, "Out of body!"
Xie Lin noticed - a second before Moody chanted the curse, a green light flashed in Draco's eyes, black energy began to emerge from his body again, and his whole person's temperament changed drastically, becoming much more sinister.
The Imperius Curse had no effect on Draco. Draco stood still, looking at Moody with a half-smile.
What Xie Lin saw was that the black energy was like a smart dragon flying around Draco's head. At the moment when the Imperius Curse was cast, the black energy replaced Draco and was dispersed by the Imperius Curse. .
Draco smiled contemptuously, "Professor Moody, it seems that the Imperius Curse is not as difficult to resist as you said!"
The whole place fell into silence. Moody frowned deeply. To be honest, he didn't expect this result at all.
He had thought that Draco might be able to resist the Imperius Curse with his willpower, and that the two might even compete over the will to control his mind, but he never thought that the Imperius Curse would be directly ineffective. He said nothing, waved his hand, motioning Draco to return to his seat, and called out the next person's name on the list.
The next person is Schelling.
Xie Lin showed a confident smile and strode to the center of the classroom.
The Imperius Curse? Xie Lin sneered secretly in his heart, let you see my will!
Although Schelling has never actually cast the Imperius Curse, his understanding of the Imperius Curse can surpass this fake Moody dozens of times.
The real principle of the Imperius Curse is to use magic to paralyze the cerebral cortex and prefrontal lobes of the human brain, causing the subject to lose their rationality, logic and decision-making power, and thus be dominated by external factors that affect emotions. To put it simply, people who have lost the ability to make independent decisions will feel pleasure in obeying the orders of the outside world, and can't help but want to continue to indulge in the emotions brought about by obedience.
The most effective way to counteract the Imperius Curse is not Occlumency. The part sealed and hidden by Occlumency is actually human emotions (author: the limbic system), rather than cognitive, rational and logical abilities.
Of course, this does not mean that Occlumency is completely ineffective against the Imperius Curse. By practicing Occlumency, people can have stronger control over their emotions, and their emotions are not easily affected by the outside world.
To fight against the Imperius Curse, you need stronger emotions and a stronger will!
Just when Moody said "soul out of body", Xie Lin first felt that his thoughts and worries were swept away. In a corner of his mind, a light and pleasant feeling seemed to be growing. But in the next second, Meredith's face flashed through Xie Lin's mind, and a fiery anger rose up. The extremely cold reason and calmness returned to Xie Lin, and that small flame represented pleasure. It was extinguished before it could ignite.
Sherlin smiled and said, "Professor Moody, if it's just this level of magic, it doesn't seem to be as scary as you said! Do we really need to learn to resist this curse in the fourth grade?"
Professor Moody's face was ugly. He failed twice in succession, making it impossible for him to continue this education method. He had previously vowed to say how important it was to learn to resist the Imperius Curse, and boasted about the power of the Imperius Curse. , even a large number of experienced adult wizards suffered miserably. As a result, they were slapped in the face twice in a row. Now it is estimated that in the eyes of other young wizards, the Imperius Curse is just that.
He said with difficulty: "In that case, let's stop here today." He continued, "Both Mr. Malfoys successfully resisted the Imperius Curse and completely overcame it! You can ask them for advice. Experience so that others can’t easily control you.”
The rest of the class was spent in a strange atmosphere. The classroom was quiet and no one spoke.
Moody sat on the chair next to the podium, his expression gloomy, as if he was thinking about something.
The other little wizards didn't dare to ask questions, they all lowered their heads and took notes on resisting the Imperius Curse.
It wasn't until the bell rang and Moody announced the end of get out of class and left the classroom that everyone started talking again.
Slytherin's little wizards surrounded Sherrin and Draco, demanding that they share the secret. Although the little lions of Gryffindor were envious, they did not dare to ask them rashly.
Xie Lin looked around at the expectant young wizards, then looked at the corner where the Gryffindor wizards gathered, and said calmly: "Since Professor Moody wants us to learn this skill, I don't want to hide it, Gryffindor's If students are interested, they can come and listen. Of course, it is all voluntary and not forced."
The little lions of Gryffindor may not be interested in boring knowledge, but they are quite curious about this kind of battle-related magic. Almost everyone gathered around them, and they consciously stood beside Slytherin. behind.
Xie Lin said loudly: "Let me tell you! There is no secret to resisting the Imperius Curse. The main thing is willpower. Can any of you tell me what willpower is?"
Everyone fell into silence. Everyone understood the literal meaning of willpower, but it was not that simple to clearly state the essence of willpower.
"Thank you -" Hermione started, "Oh, I mean, Mr. Malfoy, does willpower mean using reason to fight subconscious desires?"
As expected of Hermione, her answer was clear and logical.
Xie Lin glanced at Hermione, and Hermione briefly exchanged glances with him for a few seconds. Hermione was a little scared at first, but she tried her best to cheer herself up, so she looked at Xie Lin firmly, with no trace of emotion in her eyes. No intention of backing down.
The corners of Xie Lin's mouth raised slightly. It seemed that he was not the only one who grew up during the past summer vacation!
Then I looked at Ron again, well, it seemed that nothing had changed, he was still the same little kid.
"Granger is right," Xie Lin praised, "I personally have another understanding - will is consciousness, which is what a person is willing to give up for his own goals, such as giving up sleep and playing in order to get good grades. time, just like..." Xie Lin's eyes sparkled, but his voice suddenly became deeper, "In order to protect the people around me, I had to give up a friendship..."
Xie Lin deliberately didn't look in Hermione's direction, but the voyeur Amaterasu clearly reflected in his mind Hermione's eyes were red and her lips were pursed tightly.
"Before learning to resist the Soul-Impering Curse, the most important thing is to ask yourself - what is the purpose of learning this? How much price are you willing to pay for it?"
"When you have your own consciousness, you will have the basis to fight against the Imperius Curse. The purpose of the Imperius Curse is to paralyze our reason and then use our emotions to dominate us. Our best way to resist is to use stronger emotions to Get rid of the other party's control..."
"When someone casts the Imperius Curse, you will have a light and airy feeling. You will have a feeling that as long as you let go of your reason and control of your body, you will gain some kind of spiritual freedom. Pleasure.”
"At that time, you just need to think about it. If you are controlled, what will happen to the person you care about most, or the object? If you really have some awareness -" Sherrington paused. , he couldn't help but think of Meredith's face again, and felt a pain in his heart, but he still said expressionlessly: "You will be angry, you will be unwilling, you will have a strong, fanatical , the desire to break free from control..."
"That's how I got rid of the Imperius Curse by relying on my will..."
When Xie Lin came back to his senses, he realized that the little wizards around him were looking at him with awe.
"Magic is a very idealistic thing," Schelling said lightly. "The real power of a wizard comes from his heart." He glanced at Draco and Hermione, "When you have real power, Awakening and being willing to risk everything for it, I personally think that you are already a qualified wizard."
After saying that, he put on the Evening Star cloak and left in the path that the little wizards voluntarily stepped out of.
