A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 234 "Professor Lupine's Patronus Charm is extremely clever"

Later in the day—

"You mean Harry's broom hit the Whomping Willow?"

Felix said surprised, and Hermione said sadly, "We only found some wreckage when we went looking for it."

"Harry must be very sad," Felix said with a sigh. He took out a note, wrote a few lines of blessings, and then stopped to ask Hermione's opinion: "Do you think you should add some words to the greeting card?" Magical effects, like sounds?"

"Better not," said Hermione firmly, "Ginny just gave Harry a get-well card, and if you don't tuck him under the pillow, he'll sing shrilly..."

Felix shrugged. "That's it," he handed the card to Hermione, "bring it to Harry for me."

In the next few days, the little wizards happily discussed what happened on Saturday, especially the patron saint of swifts, which was full of visual effects by Professor Haipu, was talked about with great interest.

The name of the Patronus Charm quickly spread to the entire school and became the center of recent topics.Any student who is pulled over can speak clearly and logically—even if there are many fallacies in their words.

Some junior wizards obtained all kinds of true and false information from the senior students, combined with their own understanding, and spread it out again.

Many people can't tell the principle of "half round moon", they regard it as the second form of this magic, and name it "Silver Moon".

Felix had heard it called that one morning, at breakfast in the auditorium, when he nearly spit porridge out of his mouth.

Cormac McLaggen, a fourth-grade student, said braggingly: "My uncle's Patronus has a second form, and I'm not lying!" , Uncle’s patron saint is a wild boar, but I saw it once when I was a child, and it was obviously a jackrabbit. I was surprised at first... so this magic has two forms.”

Felix looked at McLaggen carefully. If his words were not adulterated, his uncle must have suffered a terrible experience, and his whole temperament has changed drastically-only in this case, the Patronus will change.

Still others kept asking where the spell could be learned. "What cool magic!" Lee Jordan chanted in the common room. "I mean, even if I can't do what Professor Haip does, I can at least protect myself."

But Flitwick poured cold water on them. He stood on a stack of tomes and emphasized more than once: "The Patronus Charm is not in the scope of our exams. It is too advanced, and many adult wizards can't do it." To master, this magic requires a strong mind force..."

Flitwick didn't intend to teach it, and some young wizards turned their ideas to the Defense Against the Dark Arts and Dueling classes. They were wrongly hitting the right thing - according to the function of the course, these two courses teach students how to protect themselves.

Felix was asked this question during dueling class on the evening of the second Thursday in November.

"Patronus?" Felix repeated.

"Yeah, Professor Hemp. This is the spell we need most right now, isn't it? Dementors are lurking around outside the school, ready to attack us!" a fifth-year Gryffindor shouted, his words evoked The little wizards in the audience nodded in agreement.

Felix laughed: "Lee Jordan, the dementors are guarding Hogwarts under the order of the Ministry of Magic. Their target is the fugitive from Azkaban, Sirius Black."

"But professor, what happened on the day of the Quidditch match proved them unreliable. I wrote home and my mother wrote back and said that releasing the dementors from Azkaban was the last thing the Ministry of Magic did. Stupid decision!"

"Yeah, they're not controllable at all."

"My aunt told me that even in Azkaban, the dementors once rioted ... and some prisoners were killed," said Susan Bones of Hufflepuff, who saw Professor Heap's Looking over, he added, "My aunt is the director of the Law Enforcement Department."

Felix was a little hesitant. To be honest, he didn't think it was a good choice to teach young wizards the Patronus Charm in the dueling class.

It is difficult for students to master such profound mantras without one-on-one guidance.But if you really want him to teach you personally, you can't do it even if you give him ten time converters.

He looked at the two professors Snape and Flitwick, "What's your opinion, Severus, Filius?"

Snape immediately showed a resisting expression, and he said coldly, "I don't know the spell."

Flitwick also expressed his opinion again: "Felix, the Patronus Charm is very complicated, and its function is too single, I don't think it will be used. Besides - Dumbledore has already protested to the Ministry of Magic, Fudge assured that Ghost will never make the same mistake again."

Felix nodded, he knew about it too.In fact, when a group of shrunken dementors returned, there were many opinions within the Ministry of Magic. Some people wanted to send people to investigate, but Dumbledore resolutely pushed back.

Add to that the constant yelling and yelling letters at the Ministry of Magic, and even Fudge himself, from cranky parents, and the dementor injury was never mentioned again.

Felix put the matter aside for the time being, but... he looked at Snape, was it true that the professor said he didn't know the Patronus Charm?
Could it be that the professor is really too deep into the realm of the dark arts to be able to use the Patronus Charm?
……

At dinner, he sat with Snape and discussed the teaching details of the next dueling class. Felix commented: "The students have mastered several common dueling moves, and the next few classes are the best. Arrange a practice, Severus, I have an idea, perhaps a small dueling match."

"Aren't you in trouble, Felix?" said Snape.

"I plan to hand it over to the Student Union. Percy Weasley and Penelope Clearwater are both capable, and I trust them," Felix said.

Snape showed his usual mocking expression: "How much sincerity is contained in your trust? Felix, did someone really walk into your heart?"

Felix laughed, "Oh, Severus, are you trying to say I'm hypocritical? We're talking about abilities, and in that regard, I do trust Mr. Weasley and Miss Clearwater a lot, you mean What is it?"

Snape stared at him blankly, and Felix gave a deliberately fake-looking smile.

At this moment, a voice inserted into the silent communication between the two——

"Professor Snape, I just met Professor Flitwick. He said you were in the auditorium." Lupine walked up to the two and said happily.He had a new robe, and it looked like Dumbledore paid him enough to cover his daily expenses.

"What's the matter, Lupine?" Snape's eyes narrowed. "I've finished all the potions I gave you? I still have some in there, a potfull..."

Lupine smiled and said, "Not yet, Severus. I'm here for another matter—"

Snape looked at him without a smile on his face.

Lupine said: "I appreciate you helping me substitute during my illness, but the teaching of the third grade is too aggressive, and it directly crosses most of the textbook—"

"Werewolf..." Snape dragged out a long voice, and Lupine's hand trembled, which was well concealed by him, "...is there any problem with this chapter?"

Lupine frowned slightly, "Severus, the third grader just learned Hinkpunk, and most students don't have the corresponding foundation. Sorry, I decided to postpone the content of this part."

Snape glanced at him contemptuously, "Let me say, Lupine, werewolves are too dangerous, and it is very necessary for students to know how to recognize and kill werewolves as soon as possible." He said softly : "Maybe it will be used someday."

Lupine regained his composure: "Thank you for the reminder. I will teach according to the ability of the little wizard. If there is nothing else, I will go first. There are still many things to do."

"Wait, Lupine."

"Anything else, Snape?" Lupine said in a low voice.

"Let me introduce to you," Snape's eyes moved between Lupine and Felix, "As far as I know, Professor Lupine's Patronus Charm is very good, maybe—Felix, you can invite him , as a temporary professor of the dueling class."

Snape's eyes flickered, "As a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I must have the responsibility to show students how to deal with such dangerous dark creatures as dementors."
