Chapter 74 This isn’t black magic…right?

Even Professor McGonagall drew her wand and took a defensive stance at some point.

She was visibly depressed, as if she was very disappointed with Harry's behavior.

However, in this chaos and tension, Snape did not go with the flow.

He stood there quietly, his eyes as deep as a dark pool, making it difficult to glimpse the emotions within.

What was even more surprising was that the wand in his hand was not pointed at Harry, who was the focus of everyone's attention, but was slightly tilted and quietly aimed at the slightly exaggerated Quirrell.

The professors' actions made the atmosphere even more tense. Harry looked at the tense situation and instantly realized that everyone had misunderstood. He quickly explained:

"No, that wasn't the Killing Curse, it was a Disintegration Technique I created!"

"Disintegration?" Professor McGonagall narrowed her eyes slightly and muttered to herself. The hand holding the wand relaxed a little, but she still said sternly: "What is the spell of Disintegration? What does it do? Why is it so similar to the Killing Curse? You must give us a reasonable explanation!"

Harry explains why he created the Disintegration spell and its contents:
"My memory has always been good. Even those experiences from as far back as my childhood still retain some images. I remember when I was very young, a mysterious man broke into my house and killed my parents with a green magic."

Harry paused, these memories were not pleasant ones for him.

Harry continued, "I heard the magical spell, 'Avada Kedavra', which I later learned was the Killing Curse 'Avada Kedavra'.

Before I figured it out, I tried to restore the green magic and successfully used the spell "Avatar Eats the Melon" to create a disintegration spell strong enough to disintegrate everything, which is the spell I just used to defeat the troll.

The three professors and many young wizards fell silent. Three of the professors understood the weight of Harry's words better than the young wizards.

A little wizard who was only in the first grade created a brand new spell based only on the vague memories of his childhood.

And judging by the performance of the new spell called Disintegration, it is a spell with extremely terrifying attack power, even comparable to the infamous Killing Curse.

Wait, in addition to the Disintegration spell, Harry also created a new spell called 'A Certain Scientific Railgun', as well as other lightning series spells.

Although the power of these lightning spells is slightly inferior to that of the Disintegration spell, it is enough to reflect Harry's talent.

These spells alone are enough to go down in history!

Professor McGonagall's expression remained stern, but after hearing Harry's explanation, it softened considerably. She said to Harry, "Demonstrate the lysis spell in front of us. Use it on the wash basin."

Harry did as he was told, and in a flash of green light, the washbasin crumbled to dust and disappeared from sight.

"It's not the Killing Curse. The Killing Curse doesn't have this effect, but this curse—it's not much better."

In fact, Professor McGonagall even believed that Disintegration was more evil than the Killing Curse.

After all, if you are killed by the Killing Curse, your body will remain intact, but if you are killed by the Disintegration Technique, nothing will be left.

I don't know if the disintegration technique can disintegrate the soul, if it can...

That is truly an innate evil curse!

Seeing that Professor McGonagall looked like she wanted to punish Harry, Hermione and Ron became anxious and wanted to say a few words to help Harry.

Hermione said, "Professor, Harry's spell only looks evil, but the actual effect..." Hermione wanted to say that the effect was not evil, but when she saw the troll powder left on the ground, she couldn't say it at all. She could only change the topic and say, "But he was doing it to help his classmates. If he hadn't brought us here in time, I'm afraid Pansy would have been killed!"

Ron nodded his head up and down like pounding garlic: "That's right!"

Hearing herself being mentioned, Pansy also stood up and persuaded Professor McGonagall anxiously: "That's right, Harry is not a bad person at all. If he hadn't appeared in time to stop the troll, many of my classmates and I might have met with an accident! You can't punish him!"

Ron continued to nod: "That's right!"

At this time, Quirrell stood up, with a hypocritical expression of justice on his face, and his features were slightly distorted by deliberate seriousness:
"Vice-Principal McGonagall, we must not let off a wizard suspected of using an Unforgivable Curse so easily. I suggest that we notify the Ministry of Magic immediately and have the Aurors send him to Azkaban!"

"you!"

"Harry is not a criminal!"

"That's right!"

Pansy, Hermione and Ron scolded Quirrell.

Professor McGonagall spoke up, stopping the conflict between the professor and the student in time: "Needless to say, I will hand this matter over to Albus, he will handle it perfectly."

Now, even Quirrell no longer objected. As the White Lord, Dumbledore's majesty was deeply rooted in the hearts of all wizards, and even the Dark Lord was quite afraid of him.

Let Dumbledore make the final decision. No matter what the result is, no one will object.

Finally, Professor McGonagall made her verdict on the incident:
"You're lucky for this. After all, few first-year students can take on an adult troll, so those who participated in the battle with the troll will receive five points each. I will inform Professor Dumbledore of this. You can go now, but Potter will stay!"

Harry spread his hands. It was the familiar Potter who stayed behind again. He didn't know how many times he had heard it in the past few months of school.

………………

The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the headmaster's office. Dumbledore put down the fingers that were teasing Fawkes, as if he had expected it, and waited quietly for the guests to arrive.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, his eyes gentle yet somewhat scrutinizing, and said softly, "Harry, perform the Disintegration Spell again."

Harry nodded, looked around, and cast a green beam of magic at the teacup on the table.

Dumbledore stared at the powder flying from the decomposing teacup, his brows furrowed slightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, the worry in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he let out a sigh:

"Don't worry, Minerva. This isn't dark magic. Even if you perform the Disintegration spell multiple times, it won't corrupt the caster's soul and cause them to gradually fall into darkness."

Professor McGonagall also breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that this was not dark magic. She liked Harry very much and did not want this promising young wizard to be locked up in Azkaban.

"So what is the specific effect of this spell?" Professor McGonagall asked casually.

"Disintegration can disintegrate objects and souls. It is more lethal than the Killing Curse and is more difficult to avoid!"

"So that's how it is?" Professor McGonagall nodded subconsciously, but when she heard Dumbledore's words, she was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale in an instant, and she asked loudly and excitedly:
"You're telling me this isn't Dark Magic? If this isn't Dark Magic, then the Cruciatus Curse is nothing more than a children's toy."
