He has never considered being an Auror before, but since Professor Rydells' suggestion, he planned to talk to Jas before the ned of the day.[B]The curse, a wish to cause harm or misfortune, is usually directed against others, although an important form of curse, associated with oaths, contracts, and treaties, is conditionally directed against oneself, should one fail to keep one's word or tell the truth.
The three most famous curses are the Unforgivable Curses.
The Cruciatus Curse
Incantation: Crucio (Krew- shi- oh)
Effects: Causes immense pain to the victim. Has previously been used to incapacitate, torture or instead of Veritaserum.The Imperious Curse
Incantation: Imperio (Im - pair - ee - oh)
Effects: Controls a victim utterly. It takes considerable mind power to break the Imperious Curse - Harry potter is the most fams for having this talent.Avada Kedavra
Incantation: Avada Kedavra (Ah - vah - dah Keh - dav - rah)
Effects: Kills instantly. A witch or wizard must have considerable power and hate to be able to use this curse.~Edward Cooper, Hufflepuff

"Well done Edward, take 8 pts and an extra 3 pts for telling the incantation. You are off to a good start for Auror preparation."
Professor Rydell said.
