It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 251 Depressed Sherlock
Madam Pomfrey took out almost all the grief potions in the school hospital's inventory, and the final calculation was not enough for Sherlock's needs.

She could only ask Silk to borrow some from Snape.

Although Snape, who had just finished a fight with Sherlock, seemed reluctant to put on a stinky face in the office, he still handed over all his grief potion stocks to Silk.

At critical times, Snape was still very reliable.

In the end, Madam Pomfrey condensed more than a dozen bottles of sadness potion and poured it down for Sherlock. He stopped the abnormal state of restlessness and turned to sit on the chair blankly, his face gradually getting worse and worse. misery.

"Because I was too excited, I had to increase the dosage for him. Only in this way can he suppress his emotions, but he will maintain this depressed state for a few days. After he recovers by himself, his spirit will change." alright."

Originally, Madam Pomfrey wanted to keep Sherlock in the school hospital for observation for a period of time before being released from the hospital, but Jean had already calmed down and changed from a "sand sculpture" Sherlock to a "depressed" Sherlock and refused.

"I still have important things to do next, so I have to go out, otherwise the situation in Hogwarts will be in danger."

Sherlock looked at the ceiling and sighed in distress.

"How long will I be in this state?"

Madam Pomfrey looked at him seriously.

"It will take at least three days for your own spirit to adapt, and then return to normal. But even if you become normal, you can no longer use the excessive patron saint spell. The spirit is directly related to the soul, and every time it touches a kind of Emotional extremes are extremely dangerous, not to mention that you often use one extreme to suppress the other."

In a state of depression, Sherlock always subconsciously thinks of things in the worst direction. At this time, he can think of what the final consequences will be if his spirit can't bear such strong positive emotions.

At that time, he must be a wizard who can be included in the textbooks in the future and known to all wizards in future generations-the only defense professor in history who went crazy because of excessive use of the Patronus Charm.

"Okay, I'll try to avoid using it again."

Sherlock, who was sitting on the chair, supported his face with both hands, with a melancholy expression on his face.

Madam Pomfrey let out a long sigh, and she continued.

"I know you don't need to be unrealistic once in the future, but even if you want to use it, you can't suppress it with sadness medicine afterwards. Once or twice at the beginning is fine, if there are too many frequent joys and sorrows, it will cause irreparable damage to your spirit , and once you don’t use enough, it will rebound the already excessive emotions, which is the crux of the problem.”

Not only Sherlock overheard what she said, but Silk also wrote it down verbatim.

After coming out of the school hospital with the dejected Sherlock, Silk accompanied him back to the office.

"For the defense class in the next few days, let Moody help." He slumped on the desk and said weakly, "It's too irresponsible for me to teach students in this state."

"Also, you called Professor McGonagall over for me, and I have to tell her about the situation in the Room of Response."

Sherlock's current state is really not suitable for wandering around the castle, but fortunately, there is Silk to help him pass the message.

Not long after, not only Professor McGonagall, but also the other three deans in the castle - Flitwick, Snape and Sprout also came to Sherlock's office.

In the absence of Dumbledore at the school, all the talkers in Hogwarts Castle gathered here.

On the way here, Silk had already told Professor McGonagall about Sherlock's current situation, but after seeing Sherlock slumped on the desk, they were obviously shocked.

"How could it be so serious? How much sadness potion did you drink?" Professor McGonagall looked serious.

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, because it's useless to worry, we are all going to die sooner or later anyway."

Like an invertebrate, Sherlock limply lifted his upper body from the desk.

"I have already handed over that straw man, and it is indeed much more difficult than before. The Patronus Charm was a deadly poison to it before, but now someone has provided it with help to make up for it. insufficient."

"You are all well-informed old professors. Have you ever heard of a crown-shaped alchemy prop in the wizarding world that can resist the Patronus spell?"

The four deans looked at each other.

They are indeed well-informed wizards in the magic world, and their views on this aspect have always been at the top of the pyramid.

The small Professor Flitwick said as he paced back and forth in the office with a frown.

"There are many crown-shaped alchemy props in the magic world, because some wizards always believe that this kind of item that represents kingship itself has special power, but there are very few alchemy props that can resist the Patronus Curse."

Professor Sprout nodded too.

"The Patronus Charm is an extremely special existence among all spells. It can even be said that it has no solution like the Killing Curse. But this extremely righteous spell is only effective against some evil creatures. In a normal wizard battle It doesn’t play any role, so few wizards will make alchemy props for it.”

Professor McGonagall shook his head.

"I have never heard of such alchemy props in the magic world."

Just as the office fell silent, and when Sherlock, who was already depressed, became even more depressed, Snape, who had been silent at the side, suddenly spoke.

"I've heard people talk about the idea of ​​such alchemy props before."

Immediately, everyone present turned their gazes to him.

Snape's cold face remained unchanged, and he continued in his deep voice.

"During the first year I joined that organization, that person's believers, in order to break the stalemate between the two confrontations in the magic world, proposed a plan to win over the dementors located on Azkaban Island as allies, and in order to make these dementors The ghosts play a bigger role, and one of them proposed to make a special alchemical item to help the dementors fight their most feared Patronus spell."

"Such a plan was readily accepted by that person. They all felt that the dementor's defection might become the last straw that overwhelmed the situation at the time, but before the plan was fully implemented, that person disappeared. You also know the matter, and this matter will be over."
