Chapter 944 Curse
“You want to learn from me how to use shapeshifting to fight others?”
“Yes, Professor.” Albert said sincerely.
Professor McGonagall stopped what she was doing, looked up at her protégé, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "You haven't been to the Transfiguration Club for a while recently."
"I can no longer learn new knowledge in the Transfiguration Club, and you know, I have been very busy and can only use my limited time on other things." Albert stayed at the Transfiguration Club for several years. I have learned everything Professor McGonagall taught me.
In fact, much of what Professor McGonagall taught in the Transfiguration Club was repetitive. It would be a complete waste of time to stay after learning that knowledge.
“I heard that you are learning combat skills from Filius?”
Professor McGonagall did not delve into the fact that Albert often skipped the Transfiguration Club. She also knew that the other party had already learned what she said in the club, and she also knew that Albert was always busy.
"Yes, Professor Flitwick's experience in dueling has benefited me a lot." Albert nodded and admitted, even if he quibbled, it was useless.
"So, you hope to learn something from me?" Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows slightly, guessing Albert's intention.
"I am the most inexperienced right now." Albert looked at Professor McGonagall and said calmly: "I hope to get some experience and inspiration from the professor in using transfiguration in combat."
Albert's progress is very fast. It's hard to imagine that a wizard who doesn't know anything can reach his current level in a few years.
It was almost like he got on the Firebolt and flew away while everyone else was still jogging.
Professor McGonagall even heard Professor Flitwick say that Albert mastered the Fire Curse in just a few hours.
That is a fierce fire spell, not a luminous spell.
The Fire Curse is well-known in black magic. It is notoriously dangerous and difficult to control, but it only took Albert a few hours to master this spell?
What a terrible talent.
In fact, Professor McGonagall completely disapproved of Filius teaching Albert those dangerous and evil black arts. When she heard that Albert had completely mastered the Fire Curse in a few hours, she even went to see Dumbledore because of this. Lido complained about this.
Filius taught Albert black magic, no doubt with Dumbledore's tacit approval.
Now that he heard that Albert wanted to learn transfiguration from him, Professor McGonagall was relieved for some reason. She was really worried that Albert would embark on a path of no return due to his misuse of black magic.
"I can take the time to explain to you my understanding and use of the Transformation Spell, but I have to remind you that Transformation is more difficult than you think. It is not easy to use Transformation to fight skillfully." Mag The professor agreed to explain her experience and skills in transfiguration to Albert. After all, he was her favorite student, and she did not want Albert to become a dangerous dark wizard one day.
There is no way, Albert's speed in learning black magic is really amazing.
If Albert directly used the Fire Spell to kill the third item, the consequences would be beyond her imagination. Once it leaves Albert with the impression that using black magic can solve problems more easily, it's really over.
“That’s great.” Albert said excitedly.
"I will let you know when the time comes," Professor McGonagall said.
Sure enough, you should lead him to the right path yourself.
Before Albert was about to leave, Professor McGonagall, who was holding the books, suddenly asked: "I heard that you have started to get involved in black magic."
"I have indeed read a lot of books related to black magic recently." Albert was a little surprised that Professor McGonagall would mention this matter. He quickly thought of the reason and was speechless.
“What do you think of black magic?”
“There is a Muggle saying: Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
Although Albert didn’t quite agree with this, he felt that it made sense.
"Black magic is not the only kind of magic that can be used to kill. If magic is used irresponsibly or maliciously, most magic can easily cause death." Albert gave a few examples casually, "Cutting spells can It can easily cut off other people's heads, the water-making spell can also drown people, and the repairing spell can even cause great pain to those who are injured.
"That's enough Mr. Anderson, I understand what you mean." The expression on Professor McGonagall's face was not very good, but she had to admit that what Albert said made sense.
“I heard you are getting married.” She found a lighter topic again
"Yes, after graduation." Albert did not expect Professor McGonagall to suddenly change the subject.
“Have you found the witness?” Professor McGonagall asked.
"We've found it, it's Mr. Flamel." Albert was a little speechless. He felt that many people were interested in the location of the witness.
“Okay, remember to inform us when the time comes.” Professor McGonagall seemed a little regretful.
"Yes, I originally planned to inform you before graduation next semester." Albert was a little embarrassed. He actually hadn't planned to announce the matter so soon.
"Please help keep it a secret. I don't want the whole school to know about this matter. It will cause a lot of trouble for me in the rest of my school life."
"I won't talk nonsense." Professor McGonagall looked at Albert's leaving figure and recalled some unpleasant memories. She remembered that there was also a pair of students whom he liked very much who got married not long after graduation. Well, the result...
“You actually convinced Professor McGonagall.”
Whether it was Fred, George or Lee Jordan, they were all very surprised. They didn't expect Professor McGonagall to agree to teach Albert fighting skills so simply.
You must know that this guy seems to have grown by leaps and bounds since he learned combat skills from Professor Flitwick for a while, and now that he has learned combat skills from Professor McGonagall for a while, it is really hard to imagine how much Albert will grow.
“I still think chanting the incantation loudly is more suitable for us.”
Three people said in unison.
In fact, most sixth grade students have practiced silent spells day and night, but there are very few wizards who can actually use silent spells skillfully.
There is no way, mastering the silent spell is very difficult and requires a lot of practice, as well as strong concentration and willpower.
The three of them have all practiced silent spells, and there was even a time when their faces turned red, as if they were constipated.
However, after a long period of practice, they found that they were still unable to use the silent spell proficiently, and finally chose to cheat: chant the spell quietly.
Yes, the silent spells mastered by most students at Hogwarts are actually fake. This spell is not that easy to master.
Most students usually chant the incantation quietly and pretend that they have mastered the silent incantation.
The three of them knew very well that the silent spell Albert said was completely different from the silent spell they knew.
Just like the luminous spell used by most wizards, it is fundamentally two different things from the luminous spell used by Albert.
“We’re really not good at this.”
“By the way, the last study on the roaring letter has already produced preliminary results, and we have also made another version of the decoy bomb.”
“It’s more appropriate to call it a sound bomb. It will make a loud noise after being thrown, just like a roaring letter, which can attract other people’s attention.” George introduced to Albert.
“I remember there was something like this before,” Albert recalled.
“Yes, but this thing is more powerful and can definitely give people unexpected surprises.”
"Some things are not suitable for sale, at least not for the next few years." Albert reminded, "I don't want anyone to use this thing against us that day, not to mention, we don't lack that little money."
“Well, you’re right.” George took out his notes and began to think about what items would not be suitable for appearing on their store shelves.
“I’ve been seeing you reading that book lately.” Lee Jordan casually picked up a topic, and couldn’t help but glance at the book “Poisonous Magic” in Albert’s hand.
“Studying black magic, of course.”
“This book contains a lot of black magic.”
“There are about fifty three kinds.” Albert really knew the specific number, which was related to the fact that he had read it many times.
"How many kinds have you learned?" Fred took "Poisonous Magic" from Albert's hand and asked curiously while pretending to flip through it.
"I haven't learned anything. None of the black magic recorded in this book is easy to use, but there are many types of black magic that can be used as cases." Albert didn't lie. Godlot's so-called advancement of black magic research is actually like It's a joke.
Ok, calling it a joke might be a bit much.
At that time, it was very remarkable to be able to publish a book. No matter what, it was regarded as advancing the research on black magic.
As for the black magic in "Poisonous Magic", it is actually Godlot who developed many seemingly dangerous black magic with the help of the power of the Elder Wand.
The danger of these spells comes more from the power of the Elder Wand rather than the spell itself, because Albert suspects that few wizards can use the black magic inside. After all, it was developed using the Elder Wand and requires a very powerful one. Magical power as the basis is too normal.
However, Albert saw the type of curse imposed by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts in "Poisonous Magic".
Generally, cursing someone directly without using magic spells requires superb skills and powerful magical power, and the effect is still very limited.
Voldemort's curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship falls into this category.
Had Voldemort himself not been powerful enough, the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would not have existed forever and would have been difficult to remove.
This is why many people think that the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is unlucky, but they don’t take curses too seriously.
Because cursing others has its limits. Otherwise, how could Voldemort not curse Dumbledore and let him die early?
However, Albert knows a successful case.
It is said that Malfoy's ancestor once cast a curse on Queen Victoria Elizabeth I to keep her single forever because she was rejected for courtship.
More dangerous than curses are blood curses.
There is no detailed record of the blood curse in "The Most Poisonous Magic", but it reminds later comers of the evil of the blood curse.
This is as fart as writing in the preface: "About the Horcrux, the most evil magical invention, no discussion is given here, and no guidance is given."
Of course, Albert found other information about blood curses elsewhere.
This is a very dangerous curse.
Wizards who dare to use blood curses to curse others will usually pay a price, and it is completely normal to die suddenly on the spot. Moreover, the wizards who use blood curses need to be strong enough and have a grudge against someone in order for the blood curse to be cast on them. After his death, he can still inherit it.
As for how to use it, you can probably find it in "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed", but unfortunately that book is in Dumbledore's possession.
However, Albert did not intend to study black magic in depth. He read these more to understand these ancient black magic and prevent himself from accidentally being tricked.
It is said that Godlot, the author of "Poisonous Magic", seemed to be locked in a cellar by his own son in his later years, and died miserably.
