International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 268 Patronus

His training method is also very simple, that is, he recites the mantra once, and then asks the two to follow suit.

The practice in the magic world is so simple and simple. Unlike other schools, what moves to learn and what mental methods to practice, the magic world pays attention to three points: formulas, movements and the power of the "heart".

The formula is the spell, the action is the gesture of waving the wand, and the power of the "heart" is...

"When you say a spell, you must focus all your thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment before the spell will take effect." Lupine told Harry and Lu Ren the key trick of the Patronus Charm.

very simple, right?Those who are difficult will not, and those who will meet will not be difficult.

This is where the magic system is terrible.It's more "ideal" here.

Lu Ren searched his brain quickly and found an extremely happy memory. A strange, ecstatic feeling emerged in his heart.On the other hand, Harry also managed to find a pleasant memory - the memory of his summer vacation with his godfather Sirius, which was the first thing he came across.

Without this memory, it would still be very difficult for Harry to find a pleasant moment, and no doubt all his encounters with the Dursleys could not be considered.He should choose the moment when he first rode a broomstick.

The two tried their best to hold this feeling in their hearts, but it still dissipated quickly like dry ice exposed to the air.

The mantra is to invoke the protection of the gods! —" Lupine cleared his throat and told them both the Patronus spell.

"Guardian, Guardian..." Harry repeated silently.

But there was no response until Lupine reminded him to focus on the pleasant memory, and he accidentally cast the spell: a cloud of silver-white gas shot out from the tip of his wand come out.

A spell of this level would at most make the dementor feel like someone farted on him, and it would be impossible to expel the other party.But no matter what, it was a breakthrough from zero to one, which made Lupine a little relieved.

But he knew very well that when Harry was really facing a dementor at this level—even if it was a pirated dementor turned into a Boggart, it was impossible to even release the spell.

So he decided to throw some cold water on Harry.But before again, he had to wait for another student's progress.

Lu Ren stood where he was, without any reaction, and closed his eyes.Lupine observed the expression on his face: he seemed to be very happy...

Lupine:? ? ?
hateful!You think of something serious in class!
In all fairness, Lu Ren's position in Lupine's heart is definitely not as good as Harry's. Although he has a good professional ethics and can guarantee impartial and non-discriminatory teaching, in terms of personal emotions, he is still more inclined to Harry.After all, Harry is the orphan of his best brother, and Lu Ren is just a passerby.

But this will never be a reason for him to treat them differently. Lupine patiently waited for Lu Ren.

Lu Ren opened his eyes: "Call God to protect you!"

Accompanied by the incantation, a large puff of silver gas emerged from the tip of the wand. The gas hovered in the air, forming the shape of a fire dragon, but the fire dragon was not solid enough and looked a bit illusory.

"Fuck!" Lu Ping was startled by Lu Ren.He was shocked that Lu Ren could release the formed Patronus for the first time by casting a spell!And what's even more outrageous is that it is actually the patron saint of magical animal forms.

You know, it was rare for Harry to be able to summon a Patronus when he was a teenager, and Lupine like Lu Ren was even more unheard of.In terms of rarity, Harry should be at the level of a giant panda, while Lu Ren should be at the level of a white rhino.

Lupine took two deep breaths and regained his composure.

"Very well, are you ready to practice on dementors?" He tried hard to expel all kinds of chaotic emotions from his mind.

"Okay." Although Harry was not clearly hit by Lu Ren's patron saint, he still tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart, clenched his wand tightly, and walked to the middle of the empty classroom: he wanted to overcome this shortcoming, he wanted to With the courage to face the dementors, he doesn't want to lose the Quidditch match because of himself - what will he do if the dementors appear on the field next time?
After getting an affirmative reply, Lu Ping asked Lu Ren to stand behind him, then walked to the back of the cargo box, and slammed the lid open.

There was a low, snorting panting sound from the box, and the cold air spread from the box mouth, permeating the entire classroom.Then, a wet, mangy hand appeared on the edge of the box, and a dementor slowly emerged from the box, clawing at it.Its hooded face turned towards Harry, and the lights in the classroom began to flicker rapidly and then went out.

The dementor came out of the box and began to approach Harry silently and quickly. At the same time, Harry felt a chill that penetrated the bone marrow covering him——

He tried to yell "Call God to protect you", but it didn't work. The classroom and the dementors were disappearing, and the voice of his mother before his death sounded in Harry's mind-for those who have experienced pain, dementors The monster is extremely lethal to him.

Lu Ren watched Harry fall on his back. Lupine forced the Boggart back and locked it up. Everything in the classroom returned to normal.

Soon, Harry woke up too, cold sweat streaming down his brow and dripping behind his glasses.He felt a little guilty: he had failed again.

"sorry."

"Are you all right?" Lupine handed over a chocolate frog.

"It's okay..." Harry stood up holding a table, then leaned on the table, took the chocolate frog, and bit off the frog's head.

Lu Ping then made an arrangement for Lu Ren: Professor Lu Ping would no longer be responsible for suppressing the dementors that Boggarts turned into, and Lu Ren would complete this work.

But when Harry said he had heard his mother and Voldemort, Lupine looked even paler than usual.

In the end he felt that Harry should rest for a while, but Harry refused, and the reason was very simple: what if the dementor suddenly appeared when Gryffindor was playing Ravenclaw?He can't fall down again.If this game is lost again, Gryffindor's dream of three consecutive championships will be completely ruined.

"Why don't you try to use the Forgetting Curse to erase that memory? Since it's so in the way." Lu Ren interjected, and the Forgetting Curse he learned last semester could just come in handy.

Professor Lupine shook his head: "This is deception. The power gained by deceiving yourself is like a fortress on a pile of sand, which cannot be counted. If Harry really wants to master the Patronus Charm, he must not play tricks."

"Well, you may need to deepen your memory and focus on it... You were distracted just now..."
