Chapter 594 Symbolic Punishment
As Keresis said, it is not necessary to use dark magic to be a dark wizard.
Many decent wizards have studied dark magic more or less, and only on the basis of in-depth understanding can they accurately defend themselves. This is also the essence of the course of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
The courses of the lower grades have not yet appeared. In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class after passing the general wizard rank exam, the senior students will be required to read relevant dark magic books as a reference.
As for a senior Auror like Moody, he is a master of dark magic in his own right.
He even knows more than many dark wizards. Only by knowing himself and knowing the enemy can he defeat his opponent.
Not to mention the criteria for making a dark wizard, just talk about black magic itself.
Restricted black magic has long been a gray area defined by the wizarding world.
These magics have strong lethality and are not suitable for wizards to master and use.
But they are not so evil in themselves, and they do not distort the user's mind and life essence.
The Ministry of Magic is wary of such magic, strictly controlling its arbitrary use and spread.
But they don't get someone to Azkaban just because they use it.
The most obvious examples are the three spells of Out of Body, Legilimency, and Oblivion. They are all common magics that act on human souls, and they all belong to the category of black magic according to their classification.
But according to the degree of harm, its nature is not the same.
The first is Imperius. The use of out-of-body souls must have evil thoughts. This evil spell will affect the user's own mind, and no matter whether there is a normal reason or not, it should not control other people's bodies.
Therefore, it is listed as one of the Unforgivable Curses, the most evil of black magic, and is completely forbidden.
As for Legilimency, this spell can help the user read another person's mind to capture their emotions and memories.
Dumbledore and Voldemort are both masters of this magic, and you must be careful when talking to them. If you don't pay attention, the secrets hidden in your head may be known to the other party at any time, and the other party can see it clearly.
This magic and Veritaserum are strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, but Ivan can be sure that Dumbledore certainly did not take the restrictions of the Ministry of Magic seriously. Before he mastered Occlumency, he would use it every time he talked to himself. this spell.
Even if he learned Occlumency, he had to be careful every time he talked, for fear of being caught by the other party.
There are too many secrets in Ai Wen's head, some he wants the other party to know, and some must be forbidden.
This was also the main reason why he was reluctant to go to Dumbledore if something happened.
Of course, in many things, in order to hone Evan and Harry, Dumbledore would not care. For example, the basilisk raging in the castle, he must know the secret room, but in the end only sent his own phoenix to help them.
Unlike Out of Body, Legilimency does not cast a noticeable shadow on the soul of the user and the cursed person.
This spell is not so evil, so it is not black magic that is outright forbidden, but restricted black magic.
As for forgetting nothing, let alone forgetting it, its function is to make people lose their memory, which can be a specific memory or all memory. Since this process is reversible through the memory spell, the damage is minimal, and there is no limit.
After passing the general wizard rank exam, young wizards learn how to use the spell in a spell class.
Of course, the use of oblivion spells on other people may be permitted, otherwise they will be hunted down.
One of the conditions for hiring employees of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters is that they must be proficient in "forgetting nothing".
The main responsibility of the following three departments: the Reversal of Incidents Team, the Memory Cancellation Command and the Muggle Issues Mediation Committee is to constantly modify the memories of Muggles, so that they can forget the magic they saw by chance.
The use of restrictive black magic by two students can be big or small, and there will be no punishment if there is no obvious loss. Karkaroff knows this, so he didn't go into it.
What's more, the root cause is that the black magic used by Ron was taught to him by Krum.
If Ron is guilty, then Krum can't get away with it
And as everyone knows, Durmstrang has been teaching and encouraging students to learn the dark arts.
Among them, it is not only restricted black magic, it is extremely unfavorable to them if they are really investigated.
Everyone is reluctant to pursue further investigations. Professor McGonagall did not punish Ivan and Ron here. She only symbolically locked them up for a day, and gave Ivan fifty points as a reward for his performance just now. .
"Those two spells you used were great, Mr. Mason, and saved a lot of people!" said Professor McGonagall, with a smile on his face.
This kind of words came out of her mouth, and it was already a high praise.
Ai Wen noticed that her right hand on her shoulder was shaking slightly, and she performed very well in the Transfiguration class, but Professor McGonagall just nodded every time, at most saying that it was not bad, and rarely gave "very good". "Such a comment.
Of course, the points that should be added are never less, and Professor McGonagall is such a style.
"Especially the trick of hitting the annealing dragon, which is both beautiful and crisp, Ai Wen!" Sirius also said happily.
Aside from Snape, Professor McGonagall, Sirius and Keresis did not leave with the referees.
"Come on, Mason!" Kelessis said, in Moody's tone.
For Ai Wen's performance, his interest is also relatively high, and the magic eye is jumping in the eye socket.
The only one who wasn't so happy in the tent now was Ron, who looked uneasy, not recovering from the blow.
This match was originally a good opportunity to help him regain his courage, but it was a pity that this happened suddenly, which immediately suppressed the courage and confidence that Ron had just developed. He now feels that he had used black magic. Worried.
"Okay, Ron, don't take it to heart!" Ivan sighed and patted Ron's shoulder, "It's nothing to use that spell, as Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall said, You did a great job just now!"
"But I used black magic?!" Ron turned his head to look at Ai Wen with strange eyes.
"That's a restrictive spell, it's not forbidden." Ivan said, and briefly explained to Ron, "All in all, believe me, this matter is nothing, you defeated the fire dragon to get the golden egg, and also got A good score, you should be happy." (To be continued.).
