NOVEL WEB Chapter 23: Chapter-22 The Curse
When it comes to the knowledge related to their subjects, most of the little wizards become drowsy. But when it comes to gossip, everyone was no longer sleepy.
Ron also added excitedly"George and Fred also told me that the position of Defense Against Dark Arts is cursed or unlucky!"
Ravenclaw took this class with Gryffindor, so he was there together with Kaizo and the others.
This kind of mysterious things are the easiest to attract people's attention. Steve immediately asked, even the naive Neville came over to listen. Seeing that his news is so popular, ron became proud:
"I've also heard that this position is very evil. In the past thirty years, every Defense Against Dark Arts professor has had an accident within a year, and no one can teach for more than a year! Some people have even died in office. Many people have come to the conclusion and have said that this position has been cursed by You-Know-Who!"
When ron was talking, the surrounding area immediately became quiet, and all the students who were chatting nearby all shut their mouths.
Kaizo looked around,
Good guy, everyone is listening with their ears stretched out. As soon as they heard the keywords "You-Know-Who","death", and "curse", a big discussion immediately arose. Some people have already started betting on whether Quirrell can teach until next year.
Hermione obviously had different opinions "This matter was not mentioned in 'Hogwarts:A History"!
Kaizo smiled"Books can only be used as reference. The contents in the books may not be true. Even Newton's three laws of physics were later overturned."
He paused and analyzed:
"But I think that this curse is true, because in the past thirty years, the Defense Against Dark Arts professor has indeed changed every year."
"You only need to ask any senior to know this kind of thing."
Kaizo was so confident that even Hermione believed it, and asked curiously" Can't even Prof.Dumbledore lift this curse?"
"I'm afraid that's the case, otherwise Dumbledore would have solved this problem long ago. New professors are bring recruited every year."
In fact, as far as kaizo knows, this curse is even more terrifying than anyone has ever imagined. Those former Defense Against Dark Arts professors didn't end well. Those who resigned due to unexpected events are fine.
Some unlucky ones are unable to teach due to various accidents, and there are also many who were directly admitted to St.Mungo's Hospital. This directly caused the reputation of this position to become an all time low, making it difficult to recruit people.
But this is not the most terrifying thing.
After Harry Potter entered school, the horror of this curse reached its peak. Looking at the Defense Against Dark Arts professors who taught Harry Potter,
In addition to Quirrell and Lockhart who died and went crazy during their tenure as teachers, Lupin, Moody, and Snape, are the only three teachers who "safely" survived their teaching tenure, and they too, still died in the seventh part of the novel.
Even Voldemort himself died!
Voldemort: I can curse so bad that even I will not be spared.
The only one who was slightly better was the pink toad Umbitch. She didn't die, but went to Azkaban.
...
After class, Prof.Quirrell really disappointed the the first years. As the professor of Defense Against Dark Arts, Prof.Quirrell lacked the majesty of a professor. He was described as a coward, with a ridiculous purple turban on his head, and his whole body was filled with the smell of garlic.
He even stuttered while speaking.
"H-Hello everyone, I-I am your Defense Against Dark Arts professor, Q-Quirrell...."
From what kaizo knew about him, Quirrell wasn't actually bad at teaching. He was a good Ravenclaw graduate and taught Muggle Studies at Hogwarts.
But it was his dream to become a Defense Against Dark Arts professor. His theoritical knowledge was also very solid, but the Defense Against Dark Arts subject pays more attention to practical combat, so he applied to go out to gain experience in Defense Against Dark Arts.
To put it bluntly, just find some evil and dangerous creatures or dark wizards. Unexpectedly, this training would lead him to the dark forest of Albania, where he met the leader of the dark wizards, Voldemort.
Speaking of which, since Voldemort failed to apply for the position of Defense Against Dark professor, he placed a curse on this position.
Now he is possessing Quirrell and has sneaked into Hogwarts to become the Defense Against Dark Arts professor, which can be regarded as his dream come true. In his first class, Prof.Quirrell taught how to deal with ghouls.
Speaking of which, compared to their counterparts in Tokyo Ghoul, the ghouls in Harry Potter world are really useless. They can neither paralyse the enemy, nor can they cut down trees or eat corpses to restore blood and heal their injuries.
Not to mention the 1000-7 torture.
These poor ghouls, who look vicious, actually live in a wizard's attic or barn, feeding on spiders and moths. Because of this, many wizards even keep ghouls as pets.
Ron's family has one. Whenever it feels that the house is too quiet, it will start tapping on the pipes. Kaizo didn't understand why this extremely low risk creature appeared in the Defense Against Dark Arts class.
In order words, kaizo fundamentally questioned the concept of Defense Against Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
The so called defense against dark magic is actually about how to resist dark creatures. There was no mention of the truly dangerous dark wizards and black magic.
In fact kaizo even has doubts about the definition of "black magic."
The definition of black magic in Harry Potter world is very vague. It seems that all spells which can cause harm to others is called black magic. But that's not right either. As long it is used properly, [Wingardium Leviosa] can kill people, and [Lumos Maxima] can also blind people.
The famous "Entrail-Expelling Curse", a dark arts spell was actually invented to expel blockages from entrails, by causing defecation.
A portrait of its inventor"Urquhart Rackharrow" still hangs on the walls of St. Mungo's Hospital. Some people say that using dark arts requires evil intentions. But human character itself contains good and evil.
Asking a person to only use white magic and not black magic, is equivalent to asking a person to only have good and no evil in his heart. This is completely unrealistic. In Kaizo's view, dark arts is just a type of power, and its existence is reasonable. As long as it is suitable, it is worth studying.
Like Dumbledore, who is hoping to turn everyone in the wizarding world into saints by banning dark arts is simply a wishful thinking of a control freak.
If this development continues, it will only lead to stagnation and backwardness in the wizarding world. This so called "International Confederation of Wizard's Statue of Secrecy" doesn't protect muggles from wizards, but actually it's wizards which are being protected from muggles.
Kaizo, who has memories from his past life, knows exactly how far Muggle technology will develop in the next few decades. As a wizard who can cast spells, his ass naturally sits on the side of wizards.
After taking this class, he understood that even Hogwarts was so evasive in teaching Defense Against Dark Arts class, not even daring to teach any real black magic. If the wizarding world continued to develop like this, than sooner or later, something will happen, a huge problem will arise which no one will be able to solve.
Soon kaizo also understood why Hufflepuffs said that Prof.Quirrell was even more bad than Prof.Binns. in terms of teaching methods, Prof.Quirrell is exactly the same as Prof.Binns.
Although Binns, an old ghost, spoke in a dull tone, he could still read fluently, almost to the point of memorizing it backwards and forwards. Occasionally when he is in a good mood, he will tell the students some interesting expansion topics, such as some unofficial history.
And what about Prof.Quirrell?
He can't even read the text fluently. Coupled with his problem of stuttering, listening to his lecture was a disaster. Kaizo seriously doubted that Dumbledore was willing to invite Prof.Quirrell simply because no one else signed up except for him.
Because of this Prof.Quirrell was laughed at by many students. Everyone was told by him that the garlic smell on his body was to drive away a vampire he had met in Romania. Even when he had arrived at Hogwarts,he was afraid that the vampire would come back to catch him.
Quirrell tried to explain that his turban was a gift from an African prince as a thank you for helping hm escape from inferi, but no one believed his stories.
When Finnigan impatiently asked Prof.Quirrell how he had defeated the inferies, the professor's face turned red and he started being vague.
Even Hermione, who respects teachers the most, couldn't help but start complaining" Prof.Quirrell doesn't seem to be very good at teaching? Is it because he is nervous about being a professor for the first time?"
She didn't believe this herself, but she just didn't want to speak ill of the professor.
Kaizo easily broke her fantasy" This is not the first time Quirrell has been a professor. He has taught Muggle Studies in Hogwarts before."
Hermione's face fell, becoming increasingly disappointed with the future of this subject.
Her eyes darkened when she thought that the next seven years of Defense Against Dark Arts would also be like today.
Kaizo is quite optimistic. Prof.Quirrell level is at least one level higher than the fraud, Gilderoy Lockhart.
