Chapter 189
Moody said, "The Avada Kedavra curse requires great magical power to perform. All of you can take out your wands and point them at me, and utter the words, and I doubt what will happen to me will be more than a nosebleed, because the Killing Curse needs the user's will and intention to kill in order to succeed. But that doesn't matter, I'm not here to teach you how to perform it. If there is no counter-curse, what do I offer you? And why did I show you that? Because you must know and appreciate the worst things, and I don't think any of you wants to find yourselves in a situation like this!"
Albert finally sat down in his seat, and Moody continued, "These three curses are known as the Unforgivable Curses, and practicing them against anyone means spending the rest of your life behind the walls of Azkaban. This is what I must teach you: that you need preparation, armament, and training... Come on, write this down..."
They spent the rest of the lesson writing notes related to each of the three Unforgivable Curses. No one spoke until they heard the bell ring, and as soon as Moody dismissed them, they burst into an excited conversation.
"Did you see him torturing it?"
"And when it was killed."
"Is that what it's like?"
Harry heard them talking about the lesson with admiration, but he did not find the matter exciting or enjoyable, and neither did Hermione, who pointed to Harry and said, "Hurry up..."
Ron asked, "Are you going to the library again?!"
She replied, "No... we're going to the Great Hall."
Ron asked Harry, saying, "George and Fred were right... weren't they? He really knows his job... doesn't he? Did you see his presentation of the Avada Kedavra curse? And how he cast it from above the desk..."
Hermione pointed towards Albert, who was not in a good state at all today, and said, "What happened to you, Albert? Are you alright?! "
Ron and Harry also saw that Albert was in a pitiful state, as his facial features showed fatigue and pain. But Albert waved his hand that nothing important had happened, and he smiled, saying, "I'm going to my room... I want to rest!!"
Albert left his friends and entered the common room, throwing himself onto his soft bed!!
The reason for his strange tired and pained look was what had happened to him over the last three days when he entered the Restricted Section each time.
Three days ago, after taking the key to the Restricted Section from Hermione, he immediately headed to the library for something important that had been greatly occupying Albert's mind.
Albert finally reached the Restricted Section, practically running. After he finally entered the library, he did not stay still to look for a book, as any normal person would do. Immediately after entering the library, he stopped in his place and said, "Salazar Slytherin!!"
Only three seconds passed exactly for Albert to see the library wall open by itself, forming a black door with a statue of a green cobra above the door.
Albert did not take this matter lightly, but what made him anxious was what was about to happen to him.
After grabbing the golden door handle, he opened the door quite easily without anything happening to him, unlike what had happened previously to Hermione, who had tried to open this door only to be surprised by losing consciousness!!
After Albert entered the hidden room, Albert found everything as he had left it since the last time he had entered this place, which suggests that no one had entered this place after Albert.
Albert turned to the right, and his eyes met a small golden statue that was exactly in the form of Salazar Slytherin!!
After Albert saw this statue, a bad and truly painful memory formed within him!!
Albert cursed to himself, thinking about what was about to happen to him!!
Albert spoke in a state of extreme nervousness, "Damn it!! I have no choice!! Voldemort has nothing left to return!! So I must prepare myself well for that!!"
Albert took a deep breath, closing his eyes to prepare for what awaited him in a few seconds!!
Albert mustered strong courage and finally placed both of his hands on the golden statue!!
Immediately and without waiting!! Albert fell to the ground, kicking with his feet and hands as if he were a sheep being slaughtered on the night of Eid al-Adha from the intensity of the pain and struggle!!
In this state, Albert felt a severe and intensely unbearable pain, as this pain spread throughout his entire body, causing his body to writhe while he was on the ground from the intensity of the pain.
Blood began to come out of both his ears and nose from the intensity of the pain, and he, too, began to scream in pain!!
But after five seconds from now, Albert found himself once again, like the previous time, in a very large, boundless space, and all areas of this space were black, with no spot indicating any other color.
Albert slowly stood up from his spot, wiping the blood from his nose and ears from the pain he felt because of that cursed statue, and he said... "That curse that was cast on that statue is undoubtedly another category, stages stronger than the Unforgivable Cruciatus Curse."
Immediately after Albert finished speaking, he heard footsteps of someone walking behind him, laughing softly.
Albert turned around to see Salazar Slytherin, unchanged. He was wearing a large green cloak with his long beard full of gray hair, and he was completely bald on his head, so much so that his bald head shone.
Salazar spoke, saying, "Yes... as you said, that curse that I, in turn, cast on that statue surpasses by far your curses that you know in the wizarding world. But in turn, I did not cast the ultimate class of the curse on that golden statue, for if I had cast the strongest curse of the torture class... I fear you would die, boy, immediately after you placed your hand on that statue!!"
Albert immediately felt terror after hearing these words from Salazar.
After Salazar saw the terror in Albert's eyes, he smiled broadly on his face and approached Albert, saying, "What motivation brought you here and made you endure that strong torment?!!"
Albert looked at Salazar in silence, but after Albert thought deeply, he said in a low voice, "I want... to become stronger... become stronger than I am now!!"
Salazar was surprised by what he heard from Albert now. He knew well that the boy in front of him was strong, and he was already strong among his peers, and he said, "Is what you're saying true?! Why do you want to become stronger?! From what I've seen of you, there is no doubt that no one your age is stronger than you!!"
Albert thought deeply about what he would say, "I want to become stronger for my father and mother too... as I told you before, there is another person from your lineage named Tom Riddle, as we saw in my mother's memories, and this person is sowing terror in all corners of the wizarding world, and as you know, there are signs of his return, and if he returns, my strength will not cause him any harm. I want to become stronger, stronger than anyone else. I want to kill him as quickly as possible without that bastard posing any danger to my friends and those I love. I want to protect them with my strength without fear of them being harmed."
After Salazar heard Albert's goal, he also thought deeply about this matter.
Naturally, he knows very well that the person in front of him is from his lineage, which means he is his descendant, of course!!
Salazar placed his hand on Albert's shoulder, forming a strong smile, and said, "Well, as I said, I, too, was striving for power for the sake of those I loved!! So I know well what you feel and I also respect this noble goal of yours, truly... But don't forget, my teaching is not easy at all. Are you ready?!"
Albert smiled strongly as well after hearing that Salazar had agreed, and said, "Yes!! I am ready!!"
Salazar moved away from Albert slightly, pointing his magic wand in the air, forming a powerful, non-verbal curse!!
A black light emerged from the tip of his magic wand, forming a straight line, and a deadly and truly terrifying sound was heard!!
Salazar Slytherin spoke, looking at Albert, saying, "Today I will first teach you Dark Arts spells that will serve you well during your revenge journey against the one called Tom. I don't want to corrupt your soul with harmful spells, but after days of training under my guidance, I think you will reach a day when you can learn spells of my own invention!!"
Albert was standing in his place without moving, concentrating to the maximum degree in order to benefit to the greatest extent!!
Salazar spoke after seeing that Albert gave a sign of agreement, which indicated that he was listening to him, saying, "This curse was famous previously when I was still alive in the 9th century among the dark wizards, and this curse is called (Silicone) and it revolves around reflecting the opponent's curse back onto himself. For example, if you, Albert, cast a curse on me, such as Expelliarmus!! If I, in turn, cast this curse immediately after you cast Expelliarmus, your curse will return to you and hit you!! But the only drawback of this curse is that you can only use it once a day, for as you know it is a Dark Arts curse, and using the Dark Arts too much causes a person to become insane and stray from the path of good!!"
Albert was surprised by this curse!! Especially its importance in one-on-one duels. Although he was disappointed after hearing that he could only use it once a day, he thought he should use it at an appropriate moment if a deadly curse like Avada Kedavra was reflected back at him!!
To be continued...
(Don't worry!! Even though Albert obtained this curse, which you will see is powerful!! He can only perform it once. If he fought, for example, against Voldemort, who in turn can launch dozens of Avada Kedavras, then Voldemort is the one we will call a hacker, not Albert. I created this curse only because in the future it will be... hmm, you want to know, haha, well, wait until that time)
