Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

After a while, Ron came running in with Neville, panting.

He placed the cage containing Scabbers on Sebastian's desk and said a fond farewell.

"Scabbers, although I am reluctant to part with you, you are a mouse that will contribute to the advancement of the wizarding world."

“I hope you can show your worth here, professor.”

After saying that, he smiled at Sebastian and walked away happily.

Unlike the cheerful Ron, Neville had been sitting awkwardly in his seat since he entered the office.

His hands were twisted together unconsciously. He sat in the chair with his back straight, as stiff as a puppet, not daring to move at all.

After Ron left the office, he stammered, "Professor, you...you're looking for me?"

Seeing Neville's nervous look, Sebastian smiled.

The young man is good in every way except that he is too unconfident and easily nervous.

Not only that, he also has the stubbornness that is unique to Gryffindor.

For example, until now, he still stubbornly used his father's wand, even though the wand was not suitable for him at all and could not exert its due power.

"Neville, relax," he said gently, "I heard that you have made great progress and can now release a disembodied Patronus."

"Could you please cast the Patronus Charm now so I can see your progress?"

Neville nodded, stood up, took a deep breath, raised his wand and shouted, "Expecto Patronus."

Suddenly, wisps of silvery-white smoke were released from the tip of his wand, forming a thin curtain of light.

Seeing this scene, Sebastian nodded with satisfaction.

To be honest, the fact that he could release the intangible Patronus stably without any assistance showed that Neville himself definitely didn't slack off after class.

Moreover, in terms of the fluency of casting spells, he has reached the level of most students, but Neville himself is not aware of it.

"Very good, Neville, you've made great progress," Sebastian encouraged. "In fact, at your current level, you can definitely do better."

"Really, Professor," Neville's nervousness dissipated a lot, "What should I do?"

"It's simple. Just like I suggested before, change to a wand that better matches you."

Hearing this, Neville lowered his head again, his face flushed: "But... I..."

Sebastian shook his head helplessly.

This was not the first time he had suggested that Neville change his wand, but every time he mentioned this, Neville's reaction was almost the same.

"Neville, there are now more than twenty students who can release physical Patronuses, which means that the teaching of the Patronus Charm will soon enter the next stage."

"According to my guess, it won't be too long, probably around Halloween."

"I have always believed that you have the ability to release a physical Patronus before Halloween, provided you use a handy wand."

Seeing Neville's stubborn look, Sebastian changed his perspective and used Ron as an example.

"Do you remember Ron's performance in his first year? He wasn't very good at using a wand at that time, so his performance in spells was mediocre in his first year."

"But since he got a new wand, his progress has been very obvious. As his roommate, I believe you can notice the difference."

Neville gripped the wand in his hand so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Professor, this is my father's wand. I want it to witness my growth on behalf of my father."

Sebastian said gently, "Here's what I think. You should leave your father's wand to him and let him witness your growth in person."

Hearing this, Neville's heart trembled and he looked at Sebastian in confusion.

Ok?

Witness it yourself?

However, my father clearly lives in St. Mungo's, and according to the doctor, he will never be able to leave there in this lifetime.

Suddenly, Neville's eyes widened, and an irrepressible excitement suddenly rose in his heart.

He swallowed nervously and asked in a trembling voice: "Professor, do you-do you have a way to treat my parents?"

Sebastian nodded and smiled, "There is a way, but you need to treat them yourself."

"This is the advanced use of the Patronus Charm that I researched. I originally wanted to tell you after you release the physical Patronus."

"Now it seems that I need to give you some motivation in advance."

Neville's eyes instantly turned red.

This is the first time in so many years that I heard that there is hope for my parents' recovery.

He couldn't wait to ask, "Really, Professor, what should I do?"

Sebastian smiled slightly, his tone calm and firm: "The most urgent thing is that you have to change to a wand that suits you, and then successfully release a physical Patronus as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Neville wished he could successfully release the Patronus immediately and let the professor teach him the advanced usage of the Patronus Charm.

He looked down at the wand in his hand, as if saying some kind of farewell to himself: "Professor, I am willing...I am willing to change my wand!"

Seba nodded slightly, feeling relieved. "In that case, write to your grandmother. We'll meet this Saturday and I'll explain this to her in person."

"I believe your grandma also has many questions for me."

To be honest, after the first duel club in September, he wanted to meet Neville's grandmother and talk to her about Neville's education.

But he did not go directly to Neville's grandmother to talk about this matter, because he knew that Neville was a thoughtful and timid child.

Sebastian had heard that Neville's grandmother was a serious old lady. She was always very strict with Neville, and Neville had always been afraid of his grandmother.

If we go directly to Neville's grandmother, it will only make the child more suspicious and uneasy.

The child will probably keep guessing what he and his grandmother talked about.

Doing so will not only fail to improve Neville's insecure character, but may even have the opposite effect.

Of course, it was because of Neville's personality that I was so cautious when meeting his parents.

If it had been Ron, Sebastian would have contacted Mrs. Weasley without hesitation.

When Neville heard that the professor wanted to meet his grandmother, an unnatural expression appeared on his face, and he felt even more flustered in his heart.

But thinking of the hope of saving his parents, he gritted his teeth and spoke in a firm tone.

"I will write to grandma when I get back."
