“…… Black magic, what is black magic? You may think that magic that harms others is black magic, and magic that can kill people is black magic. But I want to tell you right now that this idea could not be more wrong! A lot of magic can be used to harm people, and even the magic you use a lot in your life can kill people if you use it smartly! ”

Snape was talking in front of the classroom, his grim face and the words in his mouth that made people shudder before they knew it.

“…… So," he said with a contemptuous smile and staring coldly at the young wizards, "don't go into the category of magic itself, for that will not only make you look smarter, but will make you appear more arrogant and ignorant." ”

In a way, Snape wasn't wrong. Although maca's research has concluded that magic itself has a significant tendency, in the final analysis, positive or negative tendencies have nothing to do with good or evil, and are judged only by those who use magic.

Some of the students in the classroom seemed to have a different opinion about Snape's remarks.

However, no matter how much they tried to argue and retort, they knew that they shouldn't have said that in Snape's class. Once you open your mouth to argue, the best outcome is to be ignored, and the worst outcome is probably to be punished.

These "vs. Snape" experiences were developed by our Miss Hermione Granger hands-on, so they are extremely reliable.

Snape probably sensed the student's disapproval, but he didn't react at all, and continued what he had just said.

"The so-called 'black magic' does not refer to magic itself, but to the malicious intent that uses magic to harm you." He casually explained, "Anyone who has malicious intentions towards you is your enemy, and someone who can harm you." These objects are not limited to wizards, but also include other creatures...... and even some dead things. ”

With that, Snape reached out to the wall on the left side of the classroom, and most of the students followed his fingers to the portrait that hung there.

"Like it," Snape said sympathetically, "the corpse." ”

On the canvas of the painting, three pale humanoid corpses were leaning over a wizard, constantly gnawing at the man's neck, chest and abdomen, and the blood was swaying as if it didn't want money, and many of the girls trembled and turned their heads away.

"That'...... Is there really a Yin corpse now? Parvati Petyer, the beautiful girl from Gryffindor, asked in a high-pitched voice with a hint of horror, "I...... I mean, it must be a complicated spell, doesn't it? ”

"It's not easy," said Snape, "but Voldemort used it in the past, and that's enough for us to put it in the category." ”

Perhaps it was the danger and darkness of the magic that excited Snape, and he rarely did not criticize Petyer, and even answered with pleasure.

"But—"

Well, even at the moment when he was in a very good mood, he didn't want to answer the next question. Many of the students wanted to ask something, but Snape didn't give them a chance to speak.

"As I said, the dark arts don't refer to them themselves. But in that case, why isn't this class simply called 'Dark Wizard Defense' or something? The corners of his mouth curled slightly, but the strange smile made him look even more evil, "The human heart is difficult to fathom, and even the most experienced Aurors are often deceived by some dark wizards in the city. So, you won't have to learn how to deal with dark wizards, even if they're evil, you're going to learn only magic itself. ”

"Magic without wisdom is obviously much easier to deal with than the unpredictable mind, at least with repeated training and practice, even if some of you are stupid, you can still learn the ability to barely protect yourself."

Snape said as he glanced at the Gryffindor students, staring at Harry and Neville twice. His words just now clearly meant something, and it was obvious who he was referring to.

Not to be outdone, Harry waited back, but all he could do was stare at the air—because Snape hadn't given him a chance to look away long before he could fight back.

"Of course," Snape continued, "a stupid man is a stupid man, and he can never do it to the same extent as a smart man." You know, magic itself is also diverse, and there are ever-changing derivative applications, and learning magic is also endless. All you can do is study and study step by step, and ultimately how far you can do it depends entirely on whether you are diligent and smart enough. ”

"Fighting magic is not like fighting people and being deceived by others, no matter how you change it, there is at least a benchmark. But in the same way, there is no longer anything to be done in this, and you have to overcome the difficulties in a real way. ”

With these words, Snape turned around, took a big step back to the back of the podium, and tapped his wand on the blackboard.

"The Crushing Charm is recorded in the Standard Spell Level 5," he said aloud, "and you have already taught you this spell by Professor Flitwick, but I think ...... Hmph, I don't expect you to tell me right now that you've mastered it well. ”

"In today's lesson, all you have to do is experience its properties and strength in actual use," Snape smiled again as he spoke, "I hope at least one of you will understand how to use it soon." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stabbed out his wand, and with the sound of a fabric sloshing, a gray blanket was suddenly lifted off in the corner at the back of the classroom.

Because the classroom was so dim, most of the young wizards didn't notice that there was something there, and now the cloth covering it fell to the ground, and they realized something unusual.

It was a statue, or rather, something that looked like a statue.

The thing had long, thick, muscular limbs, sharp, sharp claws, two long, curved horns protruding from its human-like head, and bat-like wings larger than its entire body.

It is worth mentioning that the whole body of the thing is covered with a layer of lime, like a statue. But it has already spread its bat wings, and it is about to fly away!

"Gargoyles!"

Hermione let out a scream, for she recognized what the hell it was at a glance.

For a moment, whether it was Gryffindor or Slytherin, the vast majority of the students panicked. They crowded each other to get out of the way, but the gargoyle was clearly moving much faster than they did.

I saw the gargoyle's solid and powerful lower limbs kick the ground violently, and suddenly spread its wings and leaped into the air. The Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom was large enough to allow it to fly freely, but it was more than enough for gliding and diving.

With a muffled hula, the gargoyle rushed swiftly towards the most crowded place in the middle of the classroom. Seeing that it was too late to dodge, everyone hurriedly leaned over and lay on the ground - maybe some of them were because of their weak legs, whatever! Anyway, a group of young wizards immediately fell to the ground and dodged the terrible blow.

But it was only dodged once, but it was far from the time to be celebrated, and everyone understands this truth. Soon, the gargoyle swept over their heads, flapping its wings in mid-air and adjusting its posture, kicking its feet hard again against the opposite wall, creating a second chance to attack.

"There are many obstacles!"

It was Harry, who seemed to be the first student to have the kung fu to respond. But he stretched out his wand straight, and an invisible wall of magic blocked the gargoyle that was rushing at a rapid pace, and although the other party broke free from the quagmire in a blink of an eye, he also lost his dive speed and fell heavily to the ground.

"Hermione, Ron, Neville......"

He glanced at each of his friends in turn, winking at them, and a few of them quickly understood his intentions and nodded slightly at him.

Of course, a look alone could not convey much information, and except for the little wizard who was often with him, no one could understand what he meant.

But even a few people may be enough!

"Faint!"

Almost at the same time, Harry and the others recited the incantation in unison, not only in terms of tone and rhythm, but also in the same standard as the cane swing. However, several red flames flashed in the air, and all of these stun spells hit the chest of the gargoyle who had just flapped its wings.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the gargoylum flew upside down like a broken sack and slammed into the classroom wall. Its body has been severely damaged, and it is only now that many young wizards have discovered that it is actually a statue!

Needless to say, the members' first actual combat seems to have worked very well.

"Actually, I should use the Crushing Charm." After a slight pause, Hermione muttered softly.

In fact, Hermione was right. Whether it's a real gargoyle or the "fake gargoyle" in front of you, which is obviously being manipulated by Voldemort, it's a thing with a body shaped like a rock. And the most effective of the shattering spell are those rather hard solids.

What I learned in the training is still limited to the Stun Charm, the Disarming Spell and the Iron Armor Spell, if you use the Crushing Charm, not to mention whether others will be able to, at least in terms of cooperation, you haven't actually practiced it!

"Humph!"

Looking at the gargoyle that had been smashed by those little ones with a stun charm, Snape's face was gloomy.
