Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 55 Principal's Course

The Flashback Charm is effective against wands. If the spell is cast without a wand or sound, there is no way to make the opponent flashback.

When neither of the young wizard's two wands was found to have used an Unforgivable Curse, while the wands of the poaching quartet were found to contain no normal magic, only dark magic, and one of their wands was even found to have been used with a Killing Curse, there was no need to continue the public trial.

Because none of the audience believed that a wizard under thirteen years old could cast the Unforgivable Curse without a wand.

In addition, the investigation report obtained from Hogwarts... all of it proves that these dark wizards were framing the young wizards. Without a doubt, they should be expelled from Azkaban. Putting aside the things they did, the fact that they all used the Unforgivable Curse is enough.

The young wizard clapped first: "I've heard the professors say that the Ministry of Magic is the fairest place. They won't wrong an innocent person, but they'll never let a bad person go unpunished. After experiencing it myself, I found that to be true. Thank you all."

Look, how could such a well-behaved little wizard possibly use such evil magic?

Everyone in the Ministry of Magic smiled, and together they escorted the young wizard and Dumbledore to the gate, telling them that if they needed help, they could contact the Ministry of Magic directly.

Dumbledore wasn't in a hurry to go back to school. He took Owen for two blocks and they came to a Muggle-owned café. They ordered two coffees and then added ten sugar cubes to his own.

Owen sighed deeply. "Headmaster, I'm still not very good at lying."

Dumbledore laughed. "My dear," he said, "sometimes lies aren't wrong. White lies can save us a lot of unnecessary trouble, can't they?"

Irving stopped talking and started drinking his coffee. It was so bitter!

That's right. All the things he said at the Ministry of Magic's public trial were taught to him by Dumbledore, which made him deny using the Cruciatus Curse.

In fact, Owen had planned this before using the Cruciatus Curse. He wanted to take this opportunity to enter Azkaban for two purposes: first, to see the most terrifying wizard prison, and second, to talk to the Death Eaters and hope that they would agree to let him experiment on them.

You know, to study the counter-curse of the Unforgivable Curse, you first have to be cursed, right?

I can't very well conduct human experiments on students at Hogwarts; that would be immoral.

Besides, even if I go in, I won't stay long. Dumbledore will definitely find a way to get me out.

But he didn't expect that the plan would be nipped in the bud by Dumbledore. If he had known, he would have just conducted the experiment on those four poachers instead of handing them over to the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore, seeing the disappointed look on the young wizard's face, laughed...

Everyone says he is the greatest magician, the White Lord, but they don't know that he is not as righteous as others imagine. After learning that dark magic would not have any adverse effects on Owen, he did not forbid Owen from learning dark magic. Otherwise, he would not have taken Owen to visit his old friend.

"Darling, don't feel guilty about your lies. We only let others know part of the truth, because we never admitted that you knew black magic, did we?"

Indeed, neither the investigation at Hogwarts nor the public trial at the Ministry of Magic ever said that Owen was incapable of using dark magic. In particular, the professors and students being investigated at Hogwarts did not believe that Owen needed to use the Crucifixion Charm to defeat his enemies.

In their view, using such magic was a "degrading" act for Owen, and they were unwilling to believe that Owen had expended "enormous effort" to win, because if Owen wanted to win, those guys wouldn't even have had a chance to make a move.

No matter what method Irving uses, he will definitely win, but it will absolutely not be through dark magic.

"Owen, you still have a lot to learn if you want to become a qualified principal. Someone who only knows how to follow the rules cannot be competent for this job."

Well, now that things have come to this point, Owen's little thoughts have to be put on hold. If he doesn't want to go to Azkaban, he doesn't want to go. There are plenty of dark wizards and Death Eaters in the world, so there's no need to go there. At worst... he'll go to Knockturn Alley after this vacation.

There are also quite a few dark wizards there who are willing to dedicate themselves to scientific research.

Owen suddenly realized something and looked up at Dumbledore: "Headmaster, I can confirm that Lockhart is a fraud. He is not qualified to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. Why did you bring him to Hogwarts?"

If it were any other young wizard asking, Dumbledore would just smile and let them guess. But it was Owen who asked, so it was a different story.

"There's some truth to that. No matter how schools teach, the results aren't very good. But if they can see it with their own eyes and uncover it with their own hands, then it will be more memorable."

I see. People teach people, and experiences teach people. But Owen wasn't entirely satisfied: "But Defense Against the Dark Arts is a very important subject. If we let them waste another year..."

"In less than a year, soon, new professors will be arriving."

Okay, so they brought in a good-for-nothing like Lockhart so he could teach them by example, and they even prepared backup. This is just ripping off someone who was doing so well back then!

If you want to become a school principal, you absolutely have to learn this cunning skill.

After finishing his coffee, feeling that the young wizard had taken another solid step on the path to becoming the headmaster, Dumbledore summoned Fawkes, who then led him and the young wizard back to the school. The timing was perfect; they returned just in time for lunch.

When Irving reappeared in the auditorium, the teachers and students smiled together, then acted as if nothing had happened and went about their business.

But after the meal, Professor Snape appeared, took the young wizard to his office, and tossed him several pieces of parchment: "From today onward, you will learn this!"

The Unforgiven Curse, a dark magic created by Snape himself, is extremely powerful. If it weren't for the anti-curse, it would definitely be the fourth Unforgiven Curse.

Without needing to be urged, Owen studied it very carefully after receiving it. Once he learned this magic, he would be equivalent to becoming a great swordsman in the Iron-Cutting Realm, or a swordsman in the Innate Realm who could unleash invisible sword energy!

Putting aside its power and such, the main thing is that it looks cool!

When I want you to die, I'll cut off your mouth first, so you won't even have a chance to use a counter-spell. When I don't want you to die, I'll cut off other parts of you, even if it can heal you, so you can experience what pain is.

"Professor, you're putting a lot of pressure on me..."

After a while, Owen finally looked up from the parchment, glanced at the composed Snape, and smiled, "To surpass a genius like you, I need more time."
