Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 654 Dumbledore's Perseverance

Chapter 654 Dumbledore's Perseverance

The first successful dispelling of the dark magic confirmed Sirius and Lupin's suspicions that Sirius's guess was correct.

But they still chose to continue.

Perhaps it's just because the damage from the "Grinning and Whooshing" black magic is too small, so just in case, they chose to increase the difficulty.

This time, however, the one casting the curse was Lupin, with Sirius Black as the target. This was something Sirius insisted on after discovering that the unicorn's soul could not dispel the werewolf curse.

His reasoning was also quite clever: each of them would be the target once, ensuring fairness and impartiality.

Of course, that's what he said, but when Lupin actually took out his wand, he asked the other to use more powerful dark magic.

"Don't be so stingy, Remus, just use the Cruciatus Curse, I can handle it!" Sirius shouted. "You don't think I'm going to report you to the Ministry of Magic, do you?!"

Lupin remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anyone barking there, and waved his wand with composure.

"Fear grips!"

Sirius was struck by a silvery-white spell. His pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body began to tremble violently, as if he had seen something terrifying.

The Fear Curse works somewhat like a Boggart, allowing people to see their deepest fears and images.

In the Middle Ages, many less powerful dark wizards often used fear spells to frighten and control Muggles, preventing them from resisting.

This time, Sirius didn't need to be directed; as soon as Sirius's body began to tremble, the unicorn's gaze turned towards him.

Like a germaphobe seeing a glaring stain on the floor, the intolerant unicorn immediately rushed over.

"oh!"

Sirius Black also let out a scream and sat on the ground, panting heavily.

"You're right, Remus, that was a really powerful punch."

Sirius looked at Sirius, then compared it to Lupin's condition earlier, and thoughtfully stroked his chin.

He had a feeling that something was wrong. When Lupin was under the influence of dark magic, he didn't even provoke hostility from the unicorns, which was obviously not on the same level as the Fear Curse.

But why do they all feel like they've been punched?

According to the rules, Sirius should have reacted more strongly, right? — Is it because the Fear Curse doesn't directly affect the soul?

But wait, these dark magic spells were carefully selected by Sirius and Lupin; their effectiveness couldn't be compromised.

Or for some other reason.

"Shall we continue?" Lupin pulled Sirius up.

"Of course we should continue," Sirius said, "but this time I'd like Sirius to attack Remus, is that alright?"

"He has no right to refuse." Lupin smiled and put down his wand.

The psychological pressure of using black magic on a friend is just too great; it's much more comfortable to be the one being attacked.

There was only one dark magic left, which Sirius and Lupin chose together. It was the dark magic with the greatest effect on the soul after the Corruption Curse.

Echo Spell.

After each time the person under the spell speaks, their own voice will echo in their mind in the form of screams, distortions, and amplifications, lasting for several hours.

Moreover, even if you don't speak, it's useless; the thoughts in your mind will still repeat themselves over and over again. Unless you can immediately empty your mind after being cursed, saying nothing and thinking nothing.

Once the effect of the Echo Spell wears off, everything will be fine.

However, in the midst of combat, such behavior is almost no different from suicide.

However, it's perfect for this situation; they're not fighting, so Lupin can completely relax and clear his mind.

A yellow light entered Lupin's body.

However, the next second, another, even faster blue figure followed closely behind.

"what!"

This was a scream more painful than the previous two. In an instant, Lupin lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

When Sirius ran over as fast as he could, Lupin's back and hair were soaked with cold sweat, and he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

Sirius tried to help him up, only to find that he had already fainted.

Remus Lupin, the werewolf who transforms every full moon, fainted from the pain?

"Get Remus to the school hospital right away!" Sirius shouted, which brought Sirius back to his senses.

"Oh right, take them to the school clinic."

When Lupin woke up again, it was already evening.

Sirius was talking to Sirius nearby when he heard the noise and immediately turned around.

"Great, you're finally awake!" he said happily.

Lupin struggled to sit up in bed and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?

"It's been half a day." Sirius glanced out the window; the sky had turned a deep indigo.

He had just wanted Xilun to go eat dinner, saying he could watch over things here by himself.

"How are you?" Xilun asked. "I'll probably never forget it for the rest of my life." Lu Ping touched his forehead with lingering fear.

"What does that feel like?" Sirius asked curiously.

He simply couldn't understand what could have caused Lu Ping to faint from the pain.

"It's like being torn in two by a giant, only without any visible wounds," Lupin said, frowning.

He only recalled the memory before he lost consciousness, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

"At least we can be sure of one thing." Lupin forced a smile. "Your guess is correct. The unicorn's soul can counteract dark magic that targets the soul, and the effect is immediate."

"But now there's a new problem," Sirius said, letting out a soft sigh.

"I was discussing this issue with Siron before you even woke up."

"What?" Lupin asked.

"It's Dumbledore, can he really withstand a unicorn hitting him like that?" Sirius exclaimed, gesturing wildly as he tried to make his words sound as tactful as possible.

Lupin is a werewolf, and he suffers immense pain every time he transforms. He even fainted from the pain. Is it really okay for Dumbledore, who is over a hundred years old?

After all, powerful magic doesn't necessarily mean strong endurance. And to be honest, even a powerful wizard like Dumbledore probably hasn't been injured much.

Moreover, the curse on Dumbledore is far more terrible than the Echo Curse, so the pain he has to endure is far greater than this one.

Sirius Black was constantly worried about one thing: would the unicorn just tear Dumbledore's soul apart?

That would be interesting if Dumbledore had died directly.

After hearing Sirius's words, Lupin fell silent.

Reflecting on my recent experience, this worry is not unfounded.

"It should be fine—no problem," Sirren whispered. "I believe Headmaster Dumbledore certainly possesses extraordinary perseverance; I trust him!"
