On Tuesday night, a Slytherin prefect brought Jon a note from Professor Snape.

Snape asked Jon to go to his office on Saturday night to do school work, which consisted of disemboweling a vat of long-horned toads and taking out their hearts and livers.

Jon reluctantly took the note and had to accept the reality of confinement.

...

For the next two days, everything was uneventful.

Many students were eagerly looking forward to Moody's first Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

After lunch on Thursday afternoon, before the school bell rang, they were early in line outside Moody's classroom.

When the class bell rang, the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom suddenly opened automatically.

The Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students rushed into the classroom and took out their "Dark Forces: Self-Defense Guide", sitting in the front row, the atmosphere was extraordinarily quiet.

"You don't need those textbooks!" A few minutes later, characteristic thumping footsteps came from outside the door, and Professor Moody dragged his heavy wooden leg into the classroom: "In Defense Against the Dark Arts class, All you need is the wand, and listen to me!"

Everyone excitedly put the textbooks back into their bags.

Moody took out the roster and started calling them one by one.

His normal eye moved down the list, his enchanted eye kept rolling back and forth, staring at every student he called.

"Very good..." Finally, he put down the roster in his hand, his voice hoarse and low: "I see the desire to learn in your eyes!"

"...just a few days ago, I received a letter from Professor Lupin, who briefed me on your progress in this course. Professor Lupin told me that you would like to know how to deal with some dark magic creatures. A lot of the basics have been mastered - you learned how to deal with Boggarts, Redcaps, Hinkpunks, Grindylows, Kabbahs, and werewolves, right?"

"Yes!" The students nodded in unison.

"However, in terms of how to deal with the real black magic, you still haven't learned enough... it's far away!" Professor Moody paused and continued: "Therefore, Professor Dumbledore specially invited me, I have a year time to teach you how to deal with black magic spells—"

Looking at the doubts in the eyes of several students, Moody nodded: "Yeah, I will only teach for one year, do Dumbledore a favor... Only teach for one year, and then resume my peaceful retirement."

"Dark magic, they are scary, dangerous, and cunning..."

Moody took out his wand and tapped lightly on the blackboard, and soon a huge portrait appeared on it.

"Did anyone tell me what this is?" Moody said in a low voice.

Jon frowned, because he saw that the portrait was of a man... or more accurately, a corpse, its skin and features were rotten and worn; I saw it running in vain in the dark , bites and smashes everything around you...

A Ravenclaw girl raised her hand tremblingly.

"Very well, Miss Pobin!"

"Professor Moody, I think... this should be..." Ravenclaw's Melinda Bobbin stood up tremblingly: "Inferi!"

"That's right, this is the Inferi... no life, no soul, and no mind, summoned by black magic, but also manipulated by black magic... a real walking dead!" Moody said in a low voice:

"The corpse is first of all a dead person. If a Muggle or wizard is brutally killed without destroying his corpse, it can be turned into an corpse..."

"In the era when the Dark... Dark Lord was raging, there were countless Muggle massacres, and all the corpses disappeared... At that time, Minister Millison Barnold had been speculating that the Dark Lord was trying to create an army of Infernal corpses. , but before he's finally done, beaten by a one-year-old, it's over!"

Jon was acutely aware of Moody's slip of the tongue, but apparently the other students didn't.

"Infernal corpses also have obvious weaknesses; they are afraid of fire and light, and like darkness and dampness... So some simple magic can work wonders against them!"

"Now, let's move on to the next one..."

Moody waved his wand lightly, and the contents of the portrait just now disappeared, replaced by a cloud of flames.

This flame seems to have a soul, constantly changing into the appearance of various ferocious beasts, swallowing and burning everything.

Almost everyone, facing this look of doubt on their faces, Jon sat there quietly without raising his hand.

"Li Huo!" Moody sneered: "The unquenchable flame!"

"Yes, you can hardly extinguish it, whether it is water or sand; a terrifying flame, it can burn everything it can touch, including summoning its owner... The most powerful fire in history, almost destroyed A city of a million people!"

"There are a few spells that can stop Lihuo, and they are all extremely clever spells..."

Moody stood and pondered for a moment, but he did not continue to introduce Li Huo.

Then, he waved his wand one last time.

The last portrait appeared in front of everyone, it was a woman, a living woman... Her face was full of pain and hideousness, her body kept changing, and finally her whole person became a huge spider.

Zacharias-Smith raised his hand high.

"Oh, Mr. Smith?"

"I know what this is, Professor Moody!" Zacharis said excitedly. "It's an Animagus, right?"

Moody was stunned for a moment, and then an ugly smile appeared on his face.

"Animagus... no, of course not Animagus!" Moody shook his head: "Animagus is a powerful transfiguration spell, not black magic; obviously it's not, it's A most terrifying and cruel curse!"

"Blood curse!" The expression on Moody's face became extremely serious: "Curse the soul of a monster on the soul of a young wizard... an unbreakable curse, unless you put two souls that have been fused together. , while destroying..."

"Generally speaking, blood spells can only be used on the souls of wizards in the mother's body or in infancy. Male wizards with weak congenital souls and most souls will be quickly swallowed; while female wizards will persist for a while, but obviously this Persistence is not a good thing!"

"The monster's soul will still gradually control the wizard's soul and dominate it; in the early stage, the wizard will transform into a monster from time to time and involuntarily; in the later stage, the wizard will completely lose memory and consciousness at a certain point in time and become a monster. Become a real monster!"

"It could be a giant spider, it could be a snake, or something even scarier..."

"A wizard who turns into a monster will have more power than ordinary monsters!"

"There is no cure, unless you destroy both souls at the same time... It is known that there are several spells that can relieve the outbreak of the blood curse, but it can be relieved for more than ten or twenty years!"
