Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1057: Toad has no fangs

Since the last chat with Anderson, Harry actually had the idea of ​​stopping DA activities, oh, now it's called "Defense Against the Dark Arts Study Group". Harry had spoken to Hermione and Ron about it, and to Fred, George and Cedric about his concerns. However, just like what Cedric said, there are too many students joining the club now, and everyone expects to learn some useful Defense Against the Dark Arts knowledge here. Stopping DA activities now may disappoint many students.

Fred and George even told Harry not to worry, and if he had any problems, he would blame them directly.

Umbridge's unrevealed conspiracy is even more worrying.

Although the DA gatherings are still going on, Harry subconsciously reduces the frequency of the DA gatherings. Although he also knows that if Umbridge is really eyeing the DA gatherings, reducing the frequency of the DA gatherings is actually useless, but Harry Still did that, and changed the recently taught content to the Patronus Charm, leaving Umbridge with as little excuse as possible against himself and Dumbledore.

Harry is now curious about when Umbridge will show his fangs, and he is also waiting for that day to come. However, that day never came, and perhaps Umbridge was planning to compete with him for more patience.

"Still not working!"

Hermione frowned intently, and the tip of her wand was emitting a puff of silver gas, but it was still unable to condense into a physical Patronus.

This situation does not only happen to Hermione, none of the DA members has successfully summoned the physical Patronus, except for Fred, George and Lee Jordan who have mastered the Patronus Charm a long time ago.

"Don't worry, the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to succeed. Back then, it took me a long time to summon the Patronus Charm." Harry passed through the two lines, Everyone imparted their experience in practicing the Patronus Charm, "You must think of happy things, the more pleasant the memory, the easier it is to succeed when casting the spell."

"It's so difficult, I really don't know how you did it?" Angelina muttered in a low voice. Fred, George and Lee Jordan are the only three students here who summoned the physical patron saint besides Harry. , even Cedric has not been able to summon the physical patron saint until now.

"We have been practicing for several years, but you have only practiced for a few months, or even shorter." Fred comforted, "The Patronus Charm is more difficult to master than you expected, one of the tricks to mastering it One is to have confidence, self-confidence is conducive to improving the success rate of casting spells, Albert always said that you do not believe that your spells will be successful, why should it be successful?"

"That guy always likes to say some profound things, but he has to admit that it makes sense." Shanna said with a smile.

"Maybe, he can publish a book of Anderson's quotations in the future." Aliya complained.

"The Patronus Charm is widely regarded as a kind of profound magic, whether it is me, Fred, George or Lee Jordan have spent a lot of time on this spell, so even if everyone is temporarily unable to summon the physical Patronus , and it is by no means a shameful thing, because many wizards are actually unable to summon the physical patron saint."

"Is it true that some people can't master the Patronus Charm all their lives?" A Hufflepuff girl couldn't help but raise her hand and asked.

"Of course not. Most people can't summon the patron saint of the physical body. In fact, it has something to do with themselves. Many people don't want to spend time and energy on practicing, and they don't have any talent. Then why can they summon the patron saint of the physical body?" Harry knew that everyone was not in high spirits, but there was no good way, so he could only comfort him, "As long as you are willing to spend time practicing, you don't have to worry about not being able to master the Patronus of the physical body, unless you are not happy in your heart."

"Now let me talk about the important things that need to be paid attention to when learning the Patronus Charm." Harry raised a finger and said, "First, the Patronus Charm requires a very strong magical power as the foundation, which makes this spell difficult for the elderly." The younger wizards are less friendly, but don't give up on that, as long as you are willing to spend a little more time practicing, you will be able to master it smoothly when you are older. I asked Fred, George and Lee Jordan, the three of them are in this situation, so don't be discouraged because others succeed, but you don't succeed, a genius like Anderson who mastered the Patronus Charm in the second grade has produced that one so far, don't Comparing with him is just asking for trouble."

"Secondly, the Patronus Charm is a positive spell. It advocates happiness and hope, so before casting the spell, you need to concentrate and try to recall the happiest things in your life." Harry looked around and warned Said: "Don't use the Patronus Charm with malice, otherwise the spell may backfire, and then something terrible will happen. Most black wizards don't know the Patronus Charm, it's not that dark wizards can't learn it , but they don’t need it, and on the other hand, it’s because they don’t want to take the risk of backfiring to try, it’s not worth it.”

"Therefore, many people think that only those with pure hearts can summon the Patronus, which is actually wrong," Harry corrected: "It is said that the Patronus of our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a cat, do you think her Is your heart pure?"

"Really?"

The news that Umbridge had grasped the Patronus immediately caused a commotion in the room, and no one wanted to believe that the toad could actually summon the Patronus.

Something like a toad can summon his own patron saint.

"I've only heard similar rumors, and I don't know the specifics." Harry raised his hand to stop everyone's whispering, "I just said this to tell you that people with pure hearts are easier to summon." Patronus, but others can still succeed with hard work, so don't give up."

"Thirdly, self-confidence, focus, will, correct spell-casting gestures and correct incantations, focus on recalling the happiest memory imaginable, everything I just said is very important." Harry continued to guide: "Close your eyes now, recall your happiest memory, and then raise your wand and say "Guardian."

"Call God to protect you!"

Under Harry's guidance, all the students present waved their wands and recited the Patronus Charm.

Silver smoke spewed out from the tip of the wand, and the whole room instantly became smoggy. What caught everyone's attention was the change on Cedric's wand. The silver smoke circled in mid-air, forming a physical patron saint.

He succeeded!

It is a silver swan-shaped Patronus flying around the Room of Requirement.

"It's so beautiful!"

Cho Zhang looked at the swan happily, and then looked at Cedric with gentle eyes, proud of the other party's success.

"Look, Cedric did it!"

Everyone's attention was attracted by Cedric's swan-shaped patron saint. His success undoubtedly gave everyone a lot of confidence.

"Is it really a swan?"

Cedric looked at his patron saint and murmured softly.

Once he asked Albert what his patron saint was, and Albert said it might be a swan.

At that time, Albert joked that it had something to do with his liking for Autumn, and Autumn’s patron saint might also be a swan, because swans are always in pairs. He thought it was just Albert’s joke before, but he didn’t expect It turned out to be true.

Harry looked at Cho and Cedric, took a deep breath, and started clapping.

After waiting for the applause to disappear completely, Harry cleared his throat and reminded: "Although it's a bit unpleasant to say this now, I still have to remind everyone that summoning a Patronus in a brightly lit classroom is one thing, It is another matter when facing dementors. Only a Patronus that has passed the test of a Dementor can be considered a real Patronus, because many wizards still cannot successfully summon a Patronus in front of a Dementor.”

When other people looked over, Harry continued, "This is what Albert reminded me, and now I will relay it to you. The actual situation is indeed like this. When facing the dementor, It is difficult for you to recall happy memories, and this is my own experience."

"Okay, be quiet. Cedric, don't you mind sharing the secret of your success with everyone!" Harry nodded towards Cedric, knowing that everyone needs a successful case to inspire confidence.

Just as Cedric was about to stand up, the door of the Room of Requirement was suddenly opened.

Everyone heard the noise and turned their heads to look at the entrance, only to see a person standing in front of the opened door.

An unexpected person.

Dolores Umbridge stood at the door with a smirk on her face, but no one knew how she opened the door to the Room of Requirement.

Some people were confused and some panicked, but most of them realized that something was wrong, because Harry had warned them more than once that Umbridge was not trustworthy, she was probably just faking and would trouble everyone again.

Harry is obviously right, anyone with a little brain can feel that Umbridge is not a good person.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and many students couldn't help raising their wands at the uninvited guest.

"There is something going on!"

Harry took out the bottle from his pocket, poured a tranquilizer into his mouth, took a deep breath, and stood up to face the toad that broke into the Room of Requirement.

This guy's "harmless" is indeed a disguise, and now he is finally about to show his fangs.

For some reason, instead of feeling nervous, Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Potter, someone reported to me that you are having an illegal party here." Umbridge looked around, the smile on his face was a little stiff, because everyone was staring at her unkindly.

"Our party has been approved by you." Cedric reminded with a frown.

"Yeah, I am also very strange, but someone reported to the Ministry of Magic that you gather people to practice black magic. You know, this is not allowed." Umbridge still had the same hypocritical smirk on his face, It made people want to punch her toad face flat.

"Dark magic? Are you sure the Patronus Charm is black magic?" Fred raised his wand threateningly, "Or is the so-called black magic defined by you, a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

"Be careful Weasley, you..."

Many people raised their wands and stared at Umbridge unkindly. They thought that the toad would settle down, but now it seemed that was not the case at all.

After less than a month, Umbridge came to trouble everyone.

Many people regretted not listening to Harry.

Whether it is Harry, or Fred and George remind everyone to be careful of Umbridge, don't let your guard down.

At that time, few people really took it to heart, but...

"What's the matter with you." Harry raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet. After taking the tranquilizer, he also calmed down. It's not a good idea to confront Umbridge. Someone else, presumably an employee of the Ministry of Magic.

"Because there are too many people in your club, both the school and the Ministry of Magic have to be vigilant, so I suggest you go to the principal's office and explain things clearly in front of the Minister of Magic and Dumbledore, lest What kind of misunderstanding happened between the two sides?" Umbridge's hypocritical smile made people sick, and her sudden change made many students think that they were fools.

"Harry, don't listen to her, that guy is a liar." George interrupted directly: "When Umbridge appears here, she is not worthy of trust, otherwise she would not have come by herself Trick you out, but bring Dumbledore and Fudge here, and explain things clearly in front of everyone."

"Mr Weasley, I may take it that..." Umbridge was interrupted in the middle of his sentence.

"You can go and invite the principal and the Minister of Magic over here. I think everyone wants to admire their demeanor. After all, the principal's office can't accommodate so many people." George turned to look at the students behind him and asked, "Do you have any?" Who wants to go together."

"Let's go together." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"We would like to hear what the minister has to say."

"I think he should explain the previous jailbreak to us."

"A lot of people know that the Death Eaters are trying to break out of prison, why is there no one in the Ministry of Magic to stop them."

"The disgrace of the past ministers of magic~IndoMTL.com~He should step down and get out."

The two Aurors outside looked at each other, and looked worriedly at the students in the room. They knew that if this matter was not handled properly, a large-scale conflict might really break out.

"With Dumbledore here, I believe she can't do anything." Harry raised his hand to stop the excitement of the students, "Besides, I'm still curious about who reported us?"

Harry followed Umbridge and left, but that didn't mean the others would be so indifferent. They all raised their wands and walked out of the Room of Requirement with a murderous look.

"Let's go, I think Headmaster Dumbledore is still waiting for us, don't keep them waiting too long." Harry glanced at Umbridge and walked towards the headmaster's office.

Looking at the students blocking the door of the headmaster's office, Umbridge was not worried, because the Ministry of Magic would soon call in more Aurors to prevent the situation at Hogwarts from getting out of control completely.

"Go to Albert and tell him what happened here." George deliberately slowed down and mixed in the crowd, and whispered to Lee Jordan, "I think he must know what to do."
