Chapter 19 Eating big melons is a sign of civilization and progress (for further reading...)(1/2)
"I have to emphasize it again! The greatness of chewing the big melon, this magic is simply born for wizards!"
"Stop!" Hermione raised her hand and stressed, "No one wants to learn that kind of evil magic -"
"No, no, no. Miss Granger, I think your point of view is completely wrong!"
Owen, who has short black hair, bohemian gray eyes, and a wicked smile on his lips, said lightly: "I think the wizard who invented Avada is definitely the kindest person in the magic world!"
"What?" All the young wizards looked at him in shock. After a week of baptism, although they were almost immune to most of Owen's evil ideas.
But that guy can always surprise you. For example, some people actually think that the Killing Curse is the kindest curse!
"No pain, instant death, one strike kill. Do you know how many people this has saved from being tortured by ancient magic?"
As he spoke, he slowly raised the wand with his right hand, pointing the tip of the wand at the palm of his left hand.
Suddenly, an invisible momentum moved from Owen's body to the surroundings, and purple light seemed to flow from the heart of his staff.
After about half a second, he pointed his wand sharply at a stone behind him.
The purple lightning instantly burrowed into the stone like a poisonous snake.
Then in front of everyone's eyes, the stone began to bulge crazily, then rapidly expanded as if inflated, and then exploded with a "bang"!
Harry, Jarvis and the others subconsciously used their hands to block possible splashing stones.
After a while, I felt nothing.
"This -" Hermione put down her arms and stared blankly into the distance, where the scattered light stones had turned into rags.
"Ancient magic, Miss Granger." Owen turned around and smiled. "The ancient wizards were much more barbaric than today's wizards."
"The Killing Curse would at least leave them with a whole body, wouldn't it?"
"But -" Hermione subconsciously wanted to retort, but nothing came out, because she immediately understood what Owen meant.
The modern Muggle death penalty is execution by firing squad.
Is execution scary?
horrible!
But it is much more civilized than the previous hangings, beheadings, and beheadings.
On the other hand, the Killing Curse does represent the progress of wizard civilization!
Even if it is known as the most evil magic.
"Of course, with your current abilities, it is still too difficult to learn advanced magic like the Killing Curse." Owen continued: "But if anyone needs it in the future, I will teach you how to do it for two Galleons!"
"So what on earth are you going to teach us!" Ron couldn't help but jumped out and complained.
We paid for it!
"Roll over!" Owen said, his eyes widening as a matter of course: "Didn't I just say that?"
"Come on, now, I throw magic, you hide! You must react quickly enough!"
"three!"
"Wait, I'm not ready yet-" Ron yelled immediately.
But in the next second, a gray magic spell flew towards him and hit him accurately.
"Zero!" Owen quickly raised his wand, "Everyone is petrified!"
"Collapse!"
"Ice freezes!"
"Upside down golden hook!"
...
For a few seconds, Owen was throwing magic around like he didn't want money.
The first person to be tricked was Ron.
Next is Jarvis.
Then there's Hannah.
As for Harry...
He seems to have a lot of experience in escaping. When Owen throws magic indiscriminately, he starts to move around wildly.
He even lasted longer than Hermione.
Hermione at least used the Levitation Charm to grab a stone and lay it in front of her, barely resisting a curse flying towards her.
But only one escaped.
Because there aren't that many rocks around...
With the second shot, Hermione, who had no way to escape, was hit in the calf, and then the biting cold froze her legs. Then another shot of the Stunning Curse hit her back. The little witch was defeated on the spot and fainted.
On open space.
And Harry - he lasted two more spells than Hermione.
"Zhi Zhen, you guys! This is really the worst class I have ever led!"
As he spoke, he waved the magic spell violently, and golden light scattered on everyone, "All curses are over!"
"Heal quickly! Heal as before!", the healing magic was thrown away, and a group of little wizards were resurrected on the spot.
"One of my classes lasts two hours." Owen held up his wand and smiled sweetly: "That is to say - there are many obstacles!"
"All petrified!"
"Thunderbolt Blast!!!"
Throughout the afternoon, Harry and the others spent an extremely miserable time in the open space outside the castle.
They have experienced almost all of the less offensive obstacle magic.
And that devil...
The ridicule and violence really lasted for two hours.
Not even a second wrong!
Of course, this successfully attracted the professors in the castle.
After all, they are not deaf or blind.
The first person to arrive on the scene was the one Harry thought was his savior, the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore.
When the old principal saw Owen's crazy military training of the little wizard, he was slightly stunned.
Just when Harry and the others thought the principal was coming to rescue them.
Suddenly, Dumbledore took out his wand, and with a single tap, turned the stone on the side into a chair. Then, ignoring Harry's look for help, he sat firmly on the chair and watched the show happily.
All afternoon.
Even Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout who came later and wanted to intervene were blocked by him.
"It's just a learning and communication activity for the little wizards. We should encourage this friendly communication behavior." The old principal said.
It attracted the sideways glances of the two professors on the side.
"This is called learning?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Is this called friendliness?" Professor Sprout said.
Hogwarts does tolerate some fighting among students.
After all, magic - it's a craft.
If you don't use it regularly, your hands will get raw.
As long as students don't cause big trouble, such as a group fight between Gryffindor and Slytherin, or happen to be caught by a professor, professors generally won't care about it.
But today - Irving went too far.
Thousands of young wizards have gathered behind them.
The impact is extremely bad.
"Don't worry, Minerva." Dumbledore stood up with a smile, and then pointed at Hermione, Harry and the others who were suffering.
"Look carefully."
"Look?" Professor McGonagall looked at it.
I saw that a fatal curse was flying towards Hermione's forehead. In a moment, the little witch shook her little hand, and a delicate phantom armor suddenly appeared in front of her.
The spell is completely resisted.
"This -" Professor McGonagall was shocked, that was the Armor Curse!
And it's a pretty subtle armor spell.
Most third-year wizards are unable to perform such magic.
