In the exquisitely crafted porcelain cup, black tea is steaming leisurely.
Linn didn't answer Professor Fox's question immediately, but asked rhetorically.
"Professor, I want to know if what they said is true? Did you really torture and kill five wizards with dark magic? You ended up being imprisoned in Azkaban?"
Without temptation, Lynn directly threw out the question in his heart.
Professor Fox's face remained unchanged, but Lynn still noticed that his fingers were tightening a lot while holding the handle of the teacup, and the joints became a little pale due to excessive force.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"They said nothing wrong. I used to be a murderer. I tortured five wizards for three days with the Heart Drilling Curse, and finally killed them with the Killing Curse. The Wizarding Court Wizengamo sentenced me to life imprisonment in Ahmedabad. Zkaban, these are facts, and I have no way to deny..."
His voice was calm, and his hard fingers gradually relaxed. He looked at Lynn very seriously.
"But you know why Dumbledore, known as the greatest white wizard of the 20th century, would be willing to be my defender. After Azkaban was imprisoned for eight years, I would be released again, and those hatreds Are my wizards of pure blood?"
Lynn did not avoid Professor Fox’s gaze. He shook his head and said, “This is also the reason why I believe that Professor You are not the kind of cold-blooded murderer that they say in their mouths, so you can tell me why. ?"
Fox leaned on the back of the seat, but his body did not appear relaxed. His deep eyes looked at the cup of black tea on the table that had gradually disappeared, as if he didn't want to remember his past.
"I am actually quite optimistic about you, Lynn. You have qualities that most wizards do not possess. After I sit in your house and listen to you telling how you found an adoptive father by yourself, I conclude that you will definitely be assigned to Sri Lanka. One of the two colleges, Lettering and Gryffindor, at the time I thought Gryffindor was more likely. But even Slytherin is not incomprehensible, because the requirements for enrolling students at these two colleges are extremely Similar, sometimes it’s just a matter of sorting hat whether it is a little snake or a little lion..."
Professor Fox said many things that were not related to Lynn's question, but Lynn did not interrupt him, but listened quietly until he was willing to say it himself.
"When I was at Hogwarts, the divination professor at the time said that I had no talent for prediction, but I never had such a strong intuition. Lynn, I think my lifelong research is very likely to be I couldn't finish it when I died. It was something that I couldn't accept and couldn't accept... so I need someone who can continue to follow my research.
After I came out of Azkaban, I saw many wizards, but most of them were afraid of black magic, let alone take the initiative to contact it, change it, and explore it.
There is no way, adult wizards have their own ideas, and I cannot change them. It just so happened that Dumbledore found me and told me that Hogwarts had a few professors vacant. I thought that this opportunity might be able to change a little wizard's view of dark magic. After that, I chose you. "
"Your choice is very important to me Lynn. It is related to whether I have adhered to the path of my life and whether it is correct in the end, so I don't want you to misunderstand me. But..."
He picked up the warm black tea, took a sip, and said solemnly.
"I don't want to tell anyone about my past. Everyone has their own secrets, and I am no exception. But I can tell you that the five wizards I killed were not good people, or even said they were. The **** among the bastards, they used to have notorious names called Death Eaters."
Lynn looked at Professor Fox in surprise.
"It's Fu... those followers of the mysterious man?"
"Unexpectedly, you have already understood that period of history. I thought I needed to explain to you the past that the entire British magical world is unwilling to recall."
"Since you know you, you should know why Dumbledore was willing to help me in the dialectic, why I was released after ten years, and why the little wizards from pure-blood families hate me so much."
"Of course, we haven’t known each other for long after all. I can understand you even if you don’t believe what I said, but Dumbledore and Minerva are the insiders of this matter. If you still have doubts in your heart, you can go. Ask them to see if what I said is true."
"No need, Professor." Lynn shook his head, "I haven't known you for long, but I have known Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall for a shorter time, even if Professor Dumbledore knew each other. I’m a first-year little wizard. I believe what you said.”
Lynn didn't want to have any contact with Dumbledore prematurely, he just wanted to stay at Hogwarts first, and learn magic honestly and diligently. I didn't want to get involved in the savior plan of that principal principal because of any special performance.
Moreover, he did believe what Professor Fox said.
Because the other party had no reason to deceive him, he was just a little wizard with a little potential and a little precocious personality. It didn't make any sense to fabricate such a lie to him that could be punctured at any time. UU reading www.uukANAnshu.com
Lynn looked at Professor Fox impatiently.
"So Professor, can you teach me black magic now?"
Professor Fox looked at Lynn and laughed blankly. He looked like an eleven-year-old boy at this time.
"You think of black magic too simply Lynn, this type of magic can be said to be the pinnacle of the spell, and it is also one of the most difficult to learn. At least 90% of adult wizards will not use it even A kind of cutting-edge black magic. Besides, at your age, even if you have the ability to learn it, you don't have enough magic power to use it."
Lin En looked at him puzzled: "Then what do I need to learn first?"
Professor Fox wiggled his finger at the bookcase, and a dark book floated over from the shelf, and then gently fell in front of Lynn.
The cover of that book has its name printed in silver powder: "The Book of Bad Words".
"You should have seen in the excerpts of "Standard Spells: Beginners" that its author Miranda Gorschak said: The evil curse, the poison curse, and the curse are collectively called the black curse. This book will not cover this. Class spells.
The so-called black curse actually belongs to a kind of spells. Like the curse, the black curse exerts a specific magical effect on the target, but the impact is mainly negative.
Moreover, the black spell is also a type of spell related to the black magic, but the effect is not as overbearing and powerful as the cutting-edge black magic. "
Professor Fox tapped the "Book of Bad Words" lightly.
"Evil spells are the least negative effects of the black spells. They are also easy to learn. Many senior young wizards will master a few evil spells and use them to joke with their friends. This book There are a total of nine common curses recorded above. The first step you need to do now is to learn all the curses in this book."
