The Days of Sneaking at Hogwarts

Harry returned to Hogwarts in a daze. He looked up at the dementors still hovering over Hogwarts. He planned to go to Professor Lupine to learn the Patronus Charm. He planned to face his own fears. "If I can't even defeat fear, why should I defeat the murderer?"

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Lupine looked at Harry standing in front of him with a determined face, "Do you really want to learn? Harry, this is a very advanced kind of magic, which is much higher than that of ordinary wizards." level."

"I'm sure." Harry said firmly.

"Okay, everything is ready." Lupine nodded, "The spell I will teach you later is called the Patronus Charm. The Patronus is a positive force. If the wizard can summon it, it can act as a shield. , it's the dementors changing their targets to feed on it, and in order for it to work, it has to recall a memory, a happy, powerful memory, can you do that?" Harry nodded.

"Very well, close your eyes, focus your thoughts, explore your past, do you have any memories, let it envelop you, immerse yourself in it, and say the mantra, expectopatronum."

"expectopatronum." Harry closed his eyes, trying to remember his happy times in his mind, and followed Lupine to say the spell.

"Okay, we're ready to go." Lupine walked to a box and said to Harry, "Wand ready, ready, coming."

Harry clenched the wand in his hand, watching Harry get ready, Lupine opened the box containing the Boggart, and the Boggart ran out of the box, turned into a dementor, facing Harry, Harry raised his wand to face the dementor, he chanted the Patronus Charm aloud, but there was no response from the wand, no light came out, Harry began to lose his mind, his voice became louder and louder. The ground was small, and as the Boggart approached, Harry became more and more nervous. All the bad memories of encountering the dementors came to his mind at once. Harry felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe, and slowly The eyes began to become blurred and gradually darkened. Harry closed his eyes and passed out. Seeing this, Lupine immediately took the Boggart back, supported Harry who was about to fall, and put him on the ground. Rest aside.

Not long after, Harry woke up, and Lupine helped him up, "How do you feel? Are you okay? It's okay to fail, I didn't expect you to succeed the first time, or it would be amazing, come on, eat This will make you feel better." Lupine took a bar of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Harry.

Harry was a little dazed, obviously he hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and took the chocolate handed over by Lupine, "Spirit, it's really, really scary."

"No no no, that's just a Boggart, just a Boggart, Harry, don't be too scared, real dementors are much scarier than this, I wonder what you were thinking, use Which memory is it?"

"Riding a broomstick for the first time." There are not enough good memories for Harry. It can be said that he only started to have good memories after he went to Hogwarts, and riding a broomstick was his first time. A good old story.

Lupine sighed and shook his head, "No, it's not good enough, not at all."

Harry frowned and thought for a while, and memories of his time with Ron, Hermione, Arnold and others popped up in his mind. Those memories were all good, but he didn't know which one he should choose. Suddenly he Thinking of the memory of seeing my parents in the Mirror of Erised at the end of a corridor in my first school year, that memory was special and powerful enough, but it might not be considered beautiful, "There was a moment, It, I'm not sure if it counts as happiness, I think it should be, at least for that moment, I'm happy, it's complicated.”

"Strong enough?" Lupine looked at Harry, who nodded seriously.

"Then let's try, are you ready?" Lupine watched Harry get ready, and opened the box containing the Boggart again.

Facing the Boggart transformed into a dementor, Harry read aloud, "expectopatronum!"

A beam of light emerged from the tip of the wand, and the somewhat dark classroom became bright for a moment, Lupine put the Boggart back into the box, and laughed, "Hahaha, beautiful, wonderful, Harry. "

Harry, who had just successfully recited the Patronus Charm, felt a little weak. He leaned against a pillar beside him, "I think my practice today should be enough."

Lupine squeezed Harry's shoulders to help him relax, "Yeah, come on, sit down." He took out another piece of chocolate and handed it to Harry, "Eat this, this really works, I told you You, Harry, I think you're doing as well as your father, which is remarkable."

"All I think about is him, and my mother. Seeing their faces, they were talking to me, just talking, I chose that memory, whether it is true or not, it is good enough for me." Lu Ping looked at Harry with unspeakable distress in his eyes.
