Chapter 159 I'm Hiring You

With Moody's sudden entrance, Dumbledore also took the opportunity to escape from the noisy students' questioning about why only those over 17 years old could participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

The dinner ended.

So much so that Lu Yunkai was very curious. Wasn't the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor here to attend the dinner?

Why did he come so late?

The appearance of this legendary Auror also made many people realize (although Lu Yunkai thought that some people were overthinking) how much the Ministry of Magic valued the security of this year's Triwizard Tournament.

At least Lu Yunkai believed that the Ministry of Magic would not hand over such a major event related to international cooperation to an elderly Auror who was lame in one leg and blind in one eye (and then replaced with a prosthetic eye).

Until he came to the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the new school year two days later with a nervous mood...

"Alastor Moody. Former Auror."

In the tense classroom, almost all the students looked at the fierce-looking man in front of them seriously, and dared not breathe.

"Put away your books. I don't need them in my class." Moody glanced at the children who were sitting obediently and continued, "Take out your wands."

There was a burst of laughter.

Although most of the students showed surprise on their faces, no one dared to speak.

The lessons using wands in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class are always more interesting than the lessons with books.

"I know that although you have a certain foundation in dealing with dark creatures, you still lack practical experience and have not seen real dark magic." Moody looked at the quietness in the classroom and was very satisfied. "The Ministry of Magic thinks it is not good to let you see these things too early, but I don't think so. You must understand what you are facing, so that you can protect yourself when necessary."

After listening to Moody's words, Lu Yunkai nodded slightly.

Indeed.

And this little action of Lu Yunkai immediately fell into the rotating blue fake eye of Moody standing in front of the podium.

"Lu Yunkai? That's your name, right?" Moody said seriously, "You don't need to agree with me."

"..."

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

No, sir, I recruited you? I nodded.

"Since you look like you can judge me, then you can tell me about the magic that is banned by the Ministry of Magic and classified as black magic." Seeing that the eyes of all the students looking at him were a little strange, Moody seemed to realize that what he just said was a bit too overbearing, "Do you know the three unforgivable curses?"

"Yes." Lu Yunkai stood up and answered the question.

"Tell me about it?"

"The three unforgivable curses are spells stipulated by the Ministry of Magic that no wizard can use on other people. Once discovered, they will be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban." Lu Yunkai said simply.

"Do you know which three spells they are?"

"... Imperius Curse." Lu Yunkai glanced at the people in the classroom, his eyes fell on the faces of two beautiful girls, and then jumped away instantly.

He also noticed that the Indian twins looked weird when he said the name of the Imperius Curse.

That big snake... Nagini!

"Yeah. Not bad." Moody retracted his gaze, turned around and took out a spider from the podium behind him, and then used a "Quick Grow" on the spider so that everyone in the classroom could see its appearance clearly.

"Soul Out of the Body!"

With an Imperius Curse, green light shot at the spider, and the spider that had been trying to crawl out of Moody's hand just a moment ago suddenly stopped moving, and then the spider began its performance.

It jumped away from Moody's palm, hanging on a thin thread, and began to swing back and forth, then stretched out its legs, turned around and somersaulted, the thin thread was broken, and fell on the table.

Moody shook his wand, and it stood up on its two hind legs and started tap dancing.

The students in the classroom all laughed.

But Moody didn't laugh.

"Is it fun? What if I use this spell on you?" Moody glanced at everyone in the room.

The laughter disappeared instantly.

"I can make it jump out of the window, or fall into the water and drown... or jump into the mouth of one of you." At this point, Moody glanced at Lu Yunkai who was standing there without laughing the whole time.

Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a chill, and he suddenly felt that Moody seemed to really throw the spider into his mouth.

No, this uncle, I recruited you?

"During that time, many wizards claimed to be controlled by the Imperius Curse." Moody said. Everyone knew that he was talking about the time when Voldemort was rampant. "That time was really busy for the Ministry of Magic. They had to distinguish who was forced to act and who acted according to their own will. This was almost impossible. Of course, the Imperius Curse can be resisted, and I will teach you the method. This requires a strong belief, and not everyone can master it. So... you'd better try to avoid being hit by it and stay alert at all times!"

The last shout scared all the students.

"Next spell." Moody looked at Lu Yunkai.

"... Cruciatus Curse." Lu Yunkai answered woodenly.

"Hmm. Cruciatus!" Moody cast the Cruciatus Curse on the spider.

The spider, which everyone thought would not make a sound, suddenly made a very sharp and piercing sound, twisting its legs, and even one leg was broken in the process of twisting...

"Stop!!!"

Hermione's shout suddenly interrupted the terrifying atmosphere floating in the room.

Everyone was stunned.

"Didn't you see Neville?" Hermione pointed at Neville Longbottom who was sitting at the side.

His face was ashen.

He lowered his head and said nothing.

"This... um, the third spell?" Moody looked at Lu Yunkai again.

"Kedavra." Lu Yunkai answered quickly this time.

He wanted to end this course as soon as possible, which many people thought was a lesson, but he thought was a torture.

What's wrong with this old man? Why did he use this kind of spell in class?

And...what happened to Neville?

"Avada Kedavra!" This time Moody didn't delay for a moment, and a green light flashed.

The spider, which was still twitching under the torture of the Cruciatus Curse a second ago, stopped moving instantly.

The classroom also fell into a dead silence.

"It's a very uncomfortable spell." Moody calmly swept the dead spider from the table to the floor, "and there is no way to crack it, and there is no way to resist it. As far as people know, only one person has escaped this spell..."

As he said, his eyes fell on Harry's forehead.

At this moment, everyone understood what he was talking about...

"Of course, the Imperius Curse requires a very strong magical power as a basis. You can all take out your wands, point them at me, and recite this spell. At most, I will just bleed from my nose." Moody changed the subject and continued, "But it doesn't matter. I'm here to teach you how to recite the spell."

"Professor..." Lu Yunkai raised his hand.

"What?"

"Can I sit down?"

"What's the hurry? In the first class today, I will teach you how to resist the Imperius Curse. You will be my assistant."

"..."

I recruited you? ?

Lu Yunkai complained in his heart with a speechless face.

…

"This Moody is really capable!"

"…"

"…Hey, Yunkai, what are you doing? He didn't do anything to you. Why do you care?" Malfoy looked at Lu Yunkai, who looked like he didn't want to say anything, and patted his shoulder with a smile.

"This guy is mentally ill, just a lunatic!" Lu Yunkai said fiercely.

"Why? Isn't it just... Well, now that you mention it, he seems to be targeting you a little bit today." Blaise, who was standing aside, originally wanted to say something for Moody, but when he thought about it, it seemed that Lu Yunkai had a problem with Moody, which was quite normal...

"Have you dealt with him before?" Malfoy asked curiously.

"No." Lu Yunkai shook his head firmly.

Don't curse me! !

"But his class is really interesting, hehe, the three unforgivable curses..."

"What are you doing? I advise you not to play around, this thing is not a joke, then your father won't be able to get you out of Azkaban!" Lu Yunkai glared at Malfoy who was eager to try, "But then again, why did Neville react so strongly to the Cruciatus Curse? Could it be that he has been used by someone before?"

"It's not him, it's his parents." Malfoy had some idea about this matter, "After the mysterious man disappeared, two of his followers captured Longbottom's parents, tortured them with the Cruciatus Curse, and forced them to tell the whereabouts of the mysterious man... Then they went crazy."

"Oh! So Neville is now being taken care of by his grandmother!" Lu Yunkai suddenly realized, "But he is really pitiful, his expression just now..."

"If you are an enemy of the mysterious man, you must be prepared for revenge." Malfoy looked disapproving, "Aren't the two Death Eaters who tortured his parents also imprisoned in Azkaban!"

"..."

Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

Azkaban? I knew there was one who was rescued from Azkaban by his father.

I never expected this! Crouch's victim turned out to be Neville, who was always forgetful and often made fun of!

"But I'm still looking forward to this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Malfoy continued, "It seems that after coming to Hogwarts for a few years, I can finally learn something useful."

"In fact, Lupin also taught a lot of useful spells last year."

"That werewolf!" Malfoy looked disdainful.

Forget it. Lu Yunkai smiled. The useful things Malfoy mentioned specifically refer to dark magic, which is different from his own concept.

However, the first class was already the three unforgivable curses. Will Moody really take out some things from the restricted area to teach the students next?

If that's the case, he's awesome.
