The field quieted down after a brief moment of commotion. From the name of the spell Allen was about to teach, it was obvious that he was going to summon dark creatures. This made the young wizards not dare to speak up and disturb their ancient magic professor.
"Everyone knows about the news this morning. It hasn't been very peaceful lately … I think everyone still remembers the speech I gave in front of the Ravenclaw Shrine?" Allen spoke to the young wizards as if he were teaching magic. "I will first teach you some necromancy spells about summoning or creating undead creatures that will forever be under your control. This will allow you to have some reliable guards and helpers in battle or in your daily life."
Hearing Allen's words, many of the young wizards in the field, including many Muggle and half-bloods, were influenced by their families when they were young. They looked at the animal bones on their desks with some reverence. In their minds, using necromancy spells to create and control the bones or corpses of creatures, regardless of whether they were animals or humans, was not something to be praised.
No one dared to voice their concerns in front of Allen, but the thought of touching the bones of unknown creatures filled their hearts with awkwardness. Currently, the bones and corpses on their desks were all right, but if the training target was a human …
Unlike the other Weasley members who preferred unicorn wands, Jenny, who was quite talented in black magic like Hermione, didn't have any objections to using a spell to summon dark creatures. She didn't care too much about it either. Like many of the young witches present, she was more concerned about how she might have to deal with these corpses and bones. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Jenny," Harry noticed his girlfriend's troubled expression and cowering action and misunderstood her worries. He forced himself to suppress the anger that kept surging within him because of his conversation with Dumbledore last night. He held Jenny's hand and comforted her, "You're not afraid of the ghoul in the shack that bangs on the sewer pipes every day. If you ask me, it looks much scarier than a skeleton."
"I'm fine, Harry. I'm not scared …" Jenny explained reluctantly. "At least I don't have to touch the one at home."
On the other side of the field, Theodore Nott from Slytherin looked at the small animal bones in front of him and said, "I wonder what a rabbit skeleton can do."
"You really don't need a rabbit skeleton. What you need is a mantis." Draco Malfoy, who was nearby, heard his voice and stared at him coldly.
Theodore's long neck seemed to protrude even more, and his face turned red with anger. Before he could say anything, Draco Malfoy said, "If you want to cough again, please stay away. Don't pollute the air."
"Malfoy, I don't want to quarrel with you, but you have to think about your own identity." Theodore snorted coldly and looked Draco in the eye, then looked away and muttered, "Malfoy, I don't want to argue with you, but you should think about your own identity."
"In fact, they are divided into two methods. One is to take a dead creature … … According to your current magic power and level, you can turn their bones or corpses into undead skeletons or Yin corpses. They will act according to your orders. These undead creatures will follow you or stay in a designated area to carry out your simple orders. They will remain in this state until they are destroyed. " Allen didn't seem to notice the dispute at all, as if he had seen through the wizards' thoughts. He picked up the textbook in front of Jenny and said, "I think the girls will like the second method more. It's similar to the Black Dragon Leaves Cave spell that Draco used in the dueling club. It allows you to summon ready-made undead creatures from the Netherworld as helpers. The difference is that with the first method, as long as you spend enough time and energy, as well as the necessary materials, the undead creatures you create will be much stronger than the ones you summon directly. Although the latter is convenient, the quality of the product depends on whether you are blessed by the goddess of luck. Also, it's different from making it yourself. No matter how many times you use this spell, the number you can control at the same time is directly related to your current level of skill. "
Many witches breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they didn't need to touch bones or corpses with their own hands. Jenny couldn't wait to look at the textbook in her hand that had just been injected with magic knowledge.
"Low-level undead creatures don't have intelligence. They won't know much other than simple orders, but at least they won't be like the ghouls that some students raise at home who only know how to knock on water pipes … Also, as your necromancy skills and magic power grow, the types and number of creatures you can create and summon will increase. The companions you create will be no different from when they were alive …" Allen finished injecting the last student's textbook and walked to the center of the field. "Maybe one day you can create your own Death Knights as teaching assistants. However, if you don't learn the techniques that Lady Sedina Warbeck used to deal with female ghosts when she formed the Female Ghost Choir, I don't recommend you to control female ghosts or pull out souls from tombstones. The screams of female ghosts are fatal to ordinary people, and as your professor, I believe many of you remember, I'm also a little afraid of such things. Of course, Lady Helene … Lady Gray is an exception."
Allen hinted at the little wizards in his lines to remind them that undead creatures were actually more common than they thought. He even joked about his performance in Lupin's Defense Against Black Magic class. After pulling the crowd closer to him, he succeeded in making many of the little wizards feel more relaxed.
"So, next, I'll show you how to summon the undead." After a simple explanation, Allen opened his waist bag and placed two clay pots and a few pieces of black agate gemstones next to the animal bones on each student's table.
"Two clay pots. One is filled with soil from the tomb, and the other is filled with salt water as a spellcasting material. You can omit this part when you're more skilled. Also, I won't explain the ancient magic runes that need to be carved on the bones to strengthen the undead creatures today. I'll just teach you the most basic method today." Then, Allen pulled out his teaching wand from his waist and waved it slowly. He broke down the movement of casting this spell and showed it to the wizards below. At the same time, he explained the essentials of casting this spell.
After that, the demonstration officially began. Allen used his wand to control the contents of the two clay pots and let them mix in the air and cover the raven skeleton in front of him. Then, he picked up a piece of black agate and broke it into two pieces, covering the two eye sockets of the raven skeleton in front of him.
Then, the wizards in the small room watched Allen cast the spell using the movements he had broken down just now. As he gestured, the mixture of soil and salt water in the tomb emitted a black fog, and the gemstones in the raven's eye sockets turned into powder. The raven skeleton suddenly stood up. In the shadow of its empty eye sockets, two red lights shone. The two beaks opened and closed, and then, to the surprise of the students, it flew up and landed on Allen's shoulder.
Then, a burst of fire appeared out of thin air on the training ground of the practical class.
"Professor Harris, you can't do this."
Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, and his pet Fawkes appeared in front of everyone in an instant. He strode towards Allen, his magic robe and beard shaking with his steps. "I don't agree with you teaching this kind of magic to my students."
