"No matter what, for me, a Wizard using a Levitation Charm, or even magic, or even a Muggle's bulldozer to kill an enemy, is much better than using Avada Kedavra to kill an enemy.
There is no other reason than this: a normal person, in an emergency, can use a Levitation Charm to kill a Death Eater, but a normal person, no matter how urgent the situation, can absolutely not use Avada Kedavra without a second thought!"
"These are two completely different methods! When a Little Wizards is taught by you to use Avada Kedavra without any repulsion, it means that this Little Wizards is no longer normal; in a sense, he has begun to turn against humanity." Professor McGonagall sat in her chair, stiff-necked, and shouted at Grindelwald in front of her, refusing to give an inch.
"Don't tell me you don't know this magic," Grindelwald said, frowning.
"It's precisely because I know this magic that I understand its horror!" Professor McGonagall roared.
"OK…" Grindelwald took a deep breath, then suddenly patted Kayson's shoulder: "You say something fair!"
Kayson flinched at the pat; what could he say? However, a draft was prepared in his mind the second he was patted on the shoulder.
"I unconditionally agree with Professor McGonagall's theory.
If we are to teach originally normal Little Wizards to become murderers capable of unleashing pure killing intent on any life at will, then why don't we just give the Little Wizards guns?"
"Hmm…" Grindelwald let out a long hum, then slowly said, "Alright, it seems that your whole family at Hogwarts has a lot of opinions on my curriculum.
Then you yourselves decide to teach the Little Wizards Defense Against the Dark Arts; I'll go resign to him right now."
Kayson and Professor McGonagall watched Grindelwald slowly walk away, the former frowning: "Did Lord Voldemort's curse not get broken by Grindelwald? Was it just delayed?"
No sooner had he spoken than Grindelwald, who hadn't gone far, suddenly stopped, turned his head, looked at Kayson, and spat out three words: "You're full of it!"
Kayson received the scolding with a bewildered expression, but Professor McGonagall on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm… you hit the mark unintentionally," she said.
"What… what hit the mark unintentionally?" Kayson asked in surprise.
"You unintentionally made Grindelwald continue teaching at Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall explained.
"But didn't he just say he was going to resign to Dumbledore?" Kayson was still bewildered.
"If he really resigned, wouldn't that prove that he indeed hadn't broken Lord Voldemort's curse, and wasn't as powerful as him?" Professor McGonagall said with a hint of amusement.
"Oh… he still cares about such small matters… Do people really get so strange in temper when they get old?" Kayson wondered.
"Perhaps, anyway, I feel my temper is much worse now than when I was young," Professor McGonagall did not refute.
"In fact, Sirius told me earlier that your temper now is no different from when you taught him," Kayson said faintly.
"…"
A long silence filled the office.
Seeing this, Kayson quickly changed the subject: "So, what was that argument about? Was it because Grindelwald was teaching Avada Kedavra in class?"
Professor McGonagall calmly nodded: "That's right.
You're not good at traditional magic, so let me explain it to you this way."
"Avada Kedavra… to put it nicely, it represents ultimate killing intent, but to put it bluntly, this magic is useless in any field except for doing evil."
"And what does learning such magic require? It requires a person's ultimate malice towards another human being, pure killing intent.
Killing Curse without this killing intent is not much different from a green glow charm; perhaps it might cause a nosebleed."
"This is the theory of the mind.
The killing intent required to use Killing Curse must be pure.
When you kill, you can only think of killing; you cannot think of revenge, you cannot think that by using Killing Curse to kill Lord Voldemort, more innocent people can live.
To be more direct, if I killed your father and you want revenge, that emotion cannot be used to cast Killing Curse, but if you are idle and want me to die, then you can cast Killing Curse.
And what is the difference between such a person and a madman?"
"This madman includes me, includes Severus, and even Dumbledore, and all Wizards who have learned to use Killing Curse, because after we successfully use it, humans are no longer considered equal peers in our eyes."
"Grindelwald's educational policy is to mass-produce madmen like us."
"And this touches upon the very foundation of our teaching.
A group of fourteen, fifteen… sixteen, seventeen-year-old children, I would rather Grindelwald teach those Little Wizards his signature Fiendfyre Curse than have Grindelwald teach them to be madmen who hate humanity," Professor McGonagall said.
"But if we talk about destructiveness, the destructiveness of over a hundred Killing Curse spells is not as high as that of one out-of-control Fiendfyre Curse, is it?" Kayson said somewhat awkwardly.
"You overestimate them; it's still a bit difficult for them to use Fiendfyre Curse at their current level," Professor McGonagall shook her head: "And I was just giving an example."
"Alright." Kayson nodded and was about to stand up and leave.
"Oh, Kayson, if you have time, please help me ask Dumbledore what he's thinking… I don't believe he doesn't know about Grindelwald teaching the Little Wizards Killing Curse," Professor McGonagall also stood up, picking up her textbook.
"To question him?" Kayson raised an eyebrow.
"No, just to inquire," Professor McGonagall shook her head.
Kayson nodded: "I'll try to blow up Dumbledore's office to vent your anger."
Professor McGonagall was amused by Kayson: "It's good that you have the thought."
"Don't worry, Professor…" Kayson agreed halfway, then suddenly remembered something: "Professor, what am I to you? Uh… a target?"
"I'm unwilling to use Killing Curse, but Transfiguration might be something you can try," Professor McGonagall paused, then turned her head and said.
