"I need to remind you that these last two spells are completely dark magic." Harry sighed and said to Seamus, "It's still too early for you guys now—"
"In Spell Class learning, you should know that many spells require emotions to assist in casting." Harry spoke not just to Seamus, but to everyone present: "But what I need to tell you is that the Drilling Curse and Killing Curse require pure malice—if you're not extremely wanting to torture someone, or wanting to kill someone, the spell won't work and might just cause a nosebleed."
"But why, Harry?" Cedric asked puzzled, "If you want to torture someone, or kill someone, Reducto can also do the same, why aren't these two spells Unforgivable Curses?"
"Because these two spells have counter curses." Harry said to Cedric: "Also, the purpose of casting these two spells isn't to torture or kill."
"That's why it's not recommended to learn these spells for now, just like the Killing Curse, it requires extremely strong murderous intent to work." Harry looked around and continued: "The evil of the Killing Curse isn't how evil the user is, but the absolute intention to kill at the moment of using the spell."
"Think about it, a life that has accumulated the efforts of countless people, filled with parents' expectations, family love, professors' nurturing, fellow students' trust, and just such a vivid life, snatched away because of your thought, a spell..." Harry's voice was very light, "At this moment, you are unavoidable, not only legally indefensible, but also unable to convince your heart, you have killed someone, facing this irreparable result."
"And the consequences... Most of the consequences are that from this point you become an extremely indifferent to life Dark Wizard, like Voldemort." Harry concluded.
Upon hearing the name Voldemort, everyone shivered together.
Nobody wants to become Voldemort, especially these children who were born loved by their families.
"Then I won't learn it." Ron shivered, "I don't want to become such a terrifying existence, life would be meaningless."
"Who says otherwise." Seamus also waved his hand repeatedly, "Let's not learn, not learn first..."
Just kidding, after Harry's analysis, no one feels they can face the interrogation of their conscience.
So... Better not to learn this spell.
Harry shook his head with a smile and said to them, "In a few days, we can do some real combat exercises in the Forbidden Forest, by then I'll assess your learning progress—how about it?"
"Alright!" The gloomy atmosphere returned to excitement: "What's a real combat exercise like? Can you tell us more?"
"Of course it's real combat in the Forbidden Forest." Harry said to them, "No restrictions on the spells you use, as long as you can safely come out of the Forbidden Forest, I'll arrange some questions suitable to your learning progress—don't worry, there won't be any danger."
"Then I'm relieved." Neville sighed with relief.
But Cedric still felt it wasn't this simple, he suspiciously looked at Harry, then glanced at the others.
Eventually decided to trust Harry, oh well...
After returning to the dormitory, Harry lay in bed thinking about the Snake Monster issue.
There hasn't been any new victims for a week now, what's going on?
He felt things were odd, the more he thought the more unsettling it seemed, so he slipped on his shoes and snuck out of the dormitory, planning to go to the Map Secret Room to check and ask the professors and Vivi, reconnect with his external brain.
Familiar with passing through Lady Pang's portrait, he looked up and saw Professor Snape blocking the door.
The two stared at each other for a while, Harry held his breath, just as he thought Professor Snape had seen through his Disillusionment Charm and was about to chase him away, he found Professor Snape turned briskly, leaving the scene.
What's going on? That old... old professor?
Considering Professor Snape let him off easily, Harry also chose to let the old professor off, not muttering out "old bat."
Following the route, he reached the underground, entered the Map Secret Room.
"Harry." Seeing Harry made Vivi very happy, with a smile on her face.
"Vivi." Harry walked down the steps to Vivi's portrait.
Professor Luke Wood cleared his throat and asked with a drawl, "Alright, Potter, we'll leave the Map Secret Room to you young folks..."
Before he finished speaking, Harry quickly said, "No need, no need, Professor Luke Wood, I actually have questions to ask you."
Hearing Harry's words, Professor Luke Wood raised his eyebrow.
"Have questions for us?" Professor Luke Wood seemed to hear something amusing, but he still coughed and asked, "Alright, never thought you would have questions—go ahead, us professors and your little girlfriend will try to solve them for you."
Upon hearing the words 'little girlfriend,' Harry's face blushed.
Even though he was often teased by Professor Luke Wood like this, he was still not quite used to it.
He secretly looked up at Vivi, only to find she also turned her face away.
