Professor Styx seemed completely unaffected when he had to use the curses in class to demonstrate in front of the students. In his opinion, he thought that they needed to know about them to better guard themselves from threats from those that would gladly use these curses against them. Once the fourth years were in the classroom, they could see their professor leaning against the front of the desk, and in the jar next to him was a black spider, trying to escape through the glass. Professor Styx failed to notice if many of the students in this room were scared of spiders, though it was a common fear anyway. Once everyone had arrived and were counted for, Professor Styx stated, "We will be learning about the Cruciatus Curse. The word Crucio itself is a Latin word for torture and that is what this curse does. It tortures people by inflicting them in excruciating pain." They should all understand how severe this curse is, and in his opinion, he thought that this curse made Imperio look like a simple hex. "This curse, if used, has a life sentence to Azkaban ready and waiting for its perpetrator." Professor Styx figured that would be what would make the students think that this curse is highly dangerous. He opened the jar containing the spider, and he enlarged it so it was near palm size so the class could see before he would have to demonstrate the curse. He put the spider on the desk, and he uttered, "Crucio." Instantly the spider began to shrivel itself with pain, writhing in agony on the table in front of the entire class. After a moment, he released the curse and reduced the size of the spider. He thought that the spider would scurry on, however the spider seemed to be recovering from the curse. It remained still on the table. Professor Styx turned his onyx eyes to the students and he intoned, "This curse can render a personal mentally traumatized, which would cause them to spend their lives in Saint Mungo's due to irreparable damage to their brains. This happened commonly in the first and second wizarding wars. Those people were forever scarred, and that should give you a few clues on to how damaging this curse is. To use this curse efficiently, one must want to cause ill and harm. Righteous anger or justice will not complete this curse." Professor Styx tapped the board with his wand and the homework of writing an essay on this curse appeared. "Have this turned in by next week. Class dismissed." The doors opened allowing the fourth years to leave. Assignment: Roleplay the lesson and do the homework assigned.Defence Against the Dark Arts,4,3 |

Considering how well last lesson had went, Eleanor was looking forward to the next lesson. She was unsure how the professor was going to pull off the Cruciatus Curse and sat down in her seat as she waited for the lesson to begin. When it did, Professor Styx began to start talking about its effects and that was when Eleanor felt her heart beating against her chest. Torture was a horrible thing and the girl hoped he wasn't going to perform it on anyone. She watched as he took out a spider from a jar and enlarged it and Eleanor began to breathe heavy, watching as he pointed his wand at the spider and said the incantation. Almost instantly, the spider began to shrivel with pain and Eleanor felt sick. How could he do that to an innocent spider? Was it the same spider he had been using during previous years? Eleanor was scared, furious and upset all at the same time and she couldn't bare to watch what was happening in front of her. Instead, she shakily stood up from her seat and walked out of the room, not knowing how to feel about the syllabus for that year anymore. |

Lilyanna entered the Defence Against The Dark Arts classroom for the third time that year and took her usual seat at the front of the room. When the lesson started, Lilyanna wrote as many notes down as she could about the Cruciatus Curse and watched as the professor retrieved a spider from a jar and enlarged it. He then proceeded to cast the unforgivable curse on it and the slytherin watched as it began to move around, obviously in pain. Lilyanna made notes of this, but was distracted as a student had left the classroom. It was her sister and Lilyanna simply shrugged at it, knowing what was bothering her but not knowing why she'd let it distract her education so much and why it really mattered. When the lesson ended, Lilyanna left the classroom to try to find Eleanor but she had gone and so Lilyanna just continued about her day. |
