Chapter 236: Sneak Attack

Arthur looked at Sirius with a strange expression on his face.

If he remembers correctly, Sirius was the one who was ambushed by Bellatrix and knocked into the veil.

Was Sirius giving himself a new goal with this?

However, Sirius didn't notice Arthur's confusion and continued to share his thoughts with the students.

"Whatever terrible things those evil Death Eaters do, you have the right to fight back using any means necessary—dark magic or even Unforgivable curses—you can use them all."

A hushed silence fell over the classroom. No one expected Sirius to encourage the use of dark magic.

Shouldn't the "defense" part be removed from this Defense Against the Dark Arts class?

Hermione couldn't help herself because she had a strong sense of justice against dark magic.

"However, Professor, the Ministry of Magic forbids using dark magic because it has a negative impact on a wizard's morality and character."

Sirius nodded in agreement. Hermione's reaction was within his expectations. He took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and finally answered Hermione's question.

"Granger, you're absolutely right. Evil, dark magic can indeed corrupt a wizard's mind and change their personality. But ultimately, it's their own choice."

"Dark magic's temptations won't affect a wizard if they have enough magical knowledge and self-control."

Hermione looked at Arthur and wanted to ask if this was true.

Arthur nodded slightly. Sirius was speaking the truth.

In fact, this was common knowledge among wizards, but due to the Ministry's strict control over dark magic and the relationship with the two previous Dark Lords, this knowledge was cherished.

Hermione blinked and asked quietly, "Do you know dark magic?"

Arthur hesitated and looked at the three curses he was most proficient in, the Imperius Spell, the Killing Curse, and the Cruciatus Curse.

"I know a little bit, but I haven't looked into it too much."

Feeling a bit guilty about his answer, Arthur quickly refocused Hermione's attention on Sirius' class.

"I'm not suggesting that you all learn dark magic, but you must have some understanding of it in order to be prepared for potential threats."

"I've already discussed this with Dumbledore. I will slowly introduce you to some dark magic," Sirius explained.

"We're running out of time today, so in the next class, I'll talk about the three Unforgivable Curses of the wizarding world. Be prepared."

When Sirius finished speaking, the bell for the end of class rang as expected.

He assigned the students a research paper on modern dark magic analysis and walked out of the classroom.

"Do you think Sirius went a bit too far?"

Hermione asked as she walked up the stairs with her books and talked to Arthur about Sirius's idea.

"Since he's doing it and Dumbledore hasn't objected, there might be some agreement from the headmaster."

Arthur responded.

Arthur also sensed that Sirius's teaching style was completely different from the previous professors, as if he were training everyone to become Aurors.

Perhaps the situation with Voldemort has put too much pressure on Dumbledore.

With these thoughts in mind, Arthur didn't have any intention of intervening.

At least, Sirius' class could be useful, as it would help Hermione and the others understand dark magic better.

Due to his interventions, Hogwarts has experienced some calm over the past few years.

Although Hermione and the others didn't become weak under his training, their mindset hadn't completely changed.

"Crucio!"

A pale green light silently appeared next to Arthur, catching everyone off guard. The Cruciatus Curse hit Arthur, who showed no reaction.

"Ah!"

Hermione screamed and quickly drew her wand, anxiously looking at Arthur.

"Don't worry, Hermione. A curse of this level can't touch me."

The weak curse was dissipated by Arthur's magic before it even reached him.

Arthur gestured to Hermione not to be nervous and then turned to a Slytherin student who was holding his wand and glaring at him with hatred.

"Speak up, which family are you from? Never mind, I don't want to hear it. Regardless of your family, the outcome will be the same."

His careless attitude enraged the student, who frantically launched all the attack spells he could use, but they were all blocked by Arthur with a wave of his hand.

To prevent this person from accidentally hurting other students, Arthur used a Petrification Curse to stop him.

Soon, a student informed the teachers, and Snape arrived before Arthur with a scowl on his face.

"How do you plan to handle this?"

Arthur waved his hand and said, "You and Headmaster Dumbledore can decide on this matter. After all, he used the Cruciatus Curse, and there are many witnesses."

Snape understood in his heart that although Arthur said he would let him and Dumbledore handle it, the meaning was already obvious.

An Unforgivable Curse and many witnesses.

This clearly meant that he wanted Dumbledore to give up on this student and hand him over to the Ministry of Magic.

Once he came to the Ministry of Magic with Arthur's identity, this student would likely end up in Azkaban for life.

Snape glanced at the Petrified Slytherin student. whose eyes were filled with fear and regret.

Unfortunately, there was no potion for regret.

After Snape took the unnamed student away, Arthur acted as if nothing had happened and led Hermione to the Great Hall.

The news spread quickly, and soon Cho and the others gathered around Arthur when they heard about the incident.

"Don't worry. These people are nothing more than sewer bugs. They're not worth our concern. They'll quiet down soon enough."

Seeing the worried expressions of the girls, Arthur comforted them with a smile, but a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

To prevent Cho and the others from worrying, Arthur decided to eliminate these few families completely.

However, this time, he wouldn't do it himself. He would let Alia and the others handle it.

It was time for the forces he had developed for so many years to show their capabilities.

Suddenly, Arthur felt his pocket heating up and took out his phone. He saw that Crouch had sent him a message asking to meet tonight.

Since yesterday, he had already sensed that the magic item he had given to Crouch had been activated.

However, since Crouch hadn't contacted him, Alvin didn't take the initiative to contact him either.

Based on his previous experience with spy films, Arthur understood the risks of casually contacting an undercover agent.
