Chapter 191 A group of children who are not calm enough
Two weeks before Christmas, Nix was practicing Transfiguration in the courtyard, and Neville ran over panting, "Nix, hurry up, Lupine is going to teach us how to deal with dementors in the History of Magic classroom."
Nix stopped practicing and asked, "History of Magic classroom? Did you remember correctly? Isn't it the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom?"
"Yes, the History of Magic classroom! They're all gone, hurry up, they'll start when it's late." Neville pulled Nix and ran away.
The History of Magic classroom is on the second floor, and Nix and Neville arrived relatively quickly. In the classroom, Professor Lupine was sitting on a box. Harry looked at the box nervously. They saw Nix and Neville stop to chat.
"You guys are here, Ron is going to find Hermione, Seamus is going to the others, they will be there in a while, let's wait." Harry said.
Neville: "Okay."
Nix nodded and moved away from the box.
A few minutes later, Ron returned with Hermione, followed by Tifa and Luna.
Seeing his sister, Nix said, "What are you doing here?"
"Come to learn the spell, brother, you can't be by my side all the time, what will you do if you encounter monsters at that time?" Tifa said.
Nix opened his mouth, unable to refute.Not long after, the Weasley twins, Seamus and others also arrived.
Lupine stood up and said, "Okay, everyone is here, let's start."
Everyone wanted to sit down, but Lupine stopped them: "You don't have to sit down, lean against the wall. Let me talk about the spell first. This is a very advanced magic, far beyond the ability of ordinary wizards, only the smartest and most powerful Only wizards can learn it, and the name of the spell is the Patronus Charm."
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
"If the spell is successful, you will summon a Patronus, which is the nemesis of the dementors. It is the hope, happiness, etc. that the dementors can seek. It will not feel hopeless, so the dementors can't do anything to it. The Patronus is your shield in the face of dementors, and it will protect you with all its strength."
"What does a Patronus look like?" Harry asked.
"Each wizard's patron saint is different, depending on the wizard's personality." Lupine replied.
"How do you change it?"
"Say a mantra, and at the same time focus all your thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment, so that the mantra will be successful."
Nix thinks the principle is very simple, transform happiness from concept into reality through spells, why can't those wizards do it?
Lupine cleared his throat and said, "Okay, try to recall the wonderful and ecstatic feeling in my heart as accurately as possible. The incantation is—Call God to Guard."
Everyone then repeated "Call God to guard."
"Remember to focus on the happy memory," Lupine emphasized.
Everyone tries to cast spells.
Everyone's result is different, Harry succeeded the fastest, a little silvery-white gas spewed out from the front of his wand, and the silvery-white gas dissipated when he was excited.
Followed by Tifa and Luna, both of them also successfully released silver gas.Hermione followed closely behind.The Weasley brothers and Seamus were similar, and Nix and Neville's wands were completely unresponsive.
"Don't worry, wave your wand lightly, try to think of happy things." Lupine emphasized.
Slowly Neville could also release a little silver gas, only Nix didn't respond at all.
Everyone is used to it, Nix is very slow in learning new spells, only Nix understands that this time is different, the Patronus Charm does not require high magic power, but happy memories, and he has no happy things after time travel. Most of the time is affected by the system and goes crazy.
"Professor, I will practice more, don't wait for me." Nix said.
Lupine thought for a while and said, "Okay then, stay away."
After speaking, he handed the books on the box to Nix and motioned him to go to a safe place behind him.
The Weasley brothers joked: "Nix, you really have to stay away, or the Boggart will turn into a cloud of ashes."
Nix was attracted by the twins, so he didn't look carefully at the book in his hand, and replied: "Don't worry, it won't happen this time. We are here to learn how to deal with dementors. We only need Harry to face Boggarts." , we don't need to show up to the Boggart."
"Don't mess around, it's dangerous." Lupine stopped the twins, turned to Harry and said, "Are you ready? I'm about to open the box, do you remember the spell? Remember the key points of the spell, how to wave the wand?"
Harry nodded.
Lupine said to the others: "To deal with dementors, you don't have to face them. You can also cast spells."
The crowd nodded.
Lupine yelled again, "All ready, I'm going to let it out."
As soon as he opened the box, Harry was opposite the box, and a dementor rose from the box.The classroom is full of gloomy and cold atmosphere.All were having difficulty breathing and felt that happiness was constantly moving away from them.
Harry yelled, "Gosh, Gogo, Gogo—"
The third time he didn't yell, Harry lay down, and the others cast spells immediately. There was a chaotic "call god guard" in the classroom, but no one succeeded, and all the wands were empty.
In the presence of the dementors, they were too flustered to concentrate on recalling happy things.
Lupine took a few steps to stop the dementor. The dementor turned into a moon and was put back into the box by Lupine's spell.
Nix shook his head. This group of people could succeed in practicing the spell, but they couldn't cast the spell in a panic when facing the dementor.Not even twins who have seen Dementors, the Patronus Charm is said to be a very difficult spell for no reason.
The Boggart was crated and Harry woke up, sweating profusely, and Ron helped him sit on the table.
"Shall we try again?"
Lupine shook his head. "Not now, let's end here today. Here." With that, he gave Harry a bar of chocolate. "You should also practice more, it is best to release the patron saint."
Nix watched Lupine pack up his things and wanted to return the book to him. He looked down and was stunned. Isn't this the Occlumency book he saw in the principal's office?Why is it in Lupine's hands?
After regaining consciousness, I immediately looked through it. Time is limited, and I can remember as much as I can.
After packing up his things, Lupine saw Nix was flipping through the Occlumency book quickly, and said, "If you want to read it, you can take it back and read it slowly, but remember to return it to me."
The Knicks were pleasantly surprised. "Can you, Professor."
"Well, I've read it and made some notes on it, I hope it will be useful to you."
"Thank you, Professor, I will return it to you as soon as possible."
After Lupine left, Nix thought about why the book was in Lupine's hands.Thinking of the night of the full moon a few days ago, when Lupine turned into a werewolf, he might have heard the whisper.With Lupine's trust in Dumbledore, he must have told him, and it is normal for Dumbledore to recommend this book.
So did Lupine let him see that he could hear the whispers too?
