DADA for Muggles [Wednesday, March 31]
"Professor Lupin is feeling a bit under the weather and will not be joining us today," Sirius said as he entered the classroom.
Which was probably just as well, as this week's lesson was far from Remus's favorite.
"We are going to start today with a children's game--Simon Says." Sirius gave brief instructions on how the game was played, then assigned a Simonbased on the first person to sign into the class thread. "Don't forget to say 'Simon says'."
After a bit of time had passed, Sirius stopped the game.
"It's fun to be Simon, to be the one who has absolute control over others' movements. It has crossed everyone's mind at some point or another how much more convenient it would be if everyone would just follow what you wanted all the time." His smile held no humor at all. "And with most magical societies, someone has always figured out the trick to that. In the wizarding world I'm familiar with, using such a spell--called the Imperius Curse--carries a lifetime sentence in the wizarding prison of Azkaban. It's one of the three Unforgivable Curses. The other two are along similar lines of darkness--Crucius causes incredible pain, and the final one is known as the Killing Curse. There is only one person in the entire world who has lived through that curse being used against him." He leaned back against his desk. "Do you think these three curses should be considered unforgivable? Should spells that do other things also be added?"
