Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 695: Getting started
Chapter 696 Getting Started
At eight o'clock in the evening, Albert and his roommates made an appointment to practice the Patronus Charm in the dormitory.
Soon after, there was a knock on the door.
Albert opened the door and saw Harry, Hermione and Ron standing outside the door, asking suspiciously, "Anything?"
"I told Harry we were going to practice the Patronus Charm tonight." Fred winked at Albert and explained, "You know, Dementors have a great influence on Harry, he I hope I can learn from you... well, the way to drive away and resist dementors."
As for Ron and Hermione, it's obviously made up.
Albert glared fiercely at Fred, his eyes swept across the crowded room, and then looked at the three people outside the door.
Hermione also noticed that Albert was unaware of their arrival, and hurriedly said, "Can you teach us the spell to drive away the dementors."
"You should go to Professor Lupin, not me." Albert frowned.
"Can't you?"
"Okay, since you're all here, come in!"
There were three more people in the small dormitory, and it became even more crowded.
All three of Harry sat on the edge of the bed, like well-behaved students ready to listen to the professor.
"The charm that can expel dementors is called the Patronus Charm." Albert began to give Harry and the three some knowledge of the Patronus Charm. "This is a kind of advanced magic. The premise of using the Patronus Charm is that one has a strong magical power. This is also a common problem with most advanced magics. If your own magical power is not strong enough, you cannot fully exert the effect of the Patronus Charm. "
Albert finished speaking and asked Fred to demonstrate the effect of the Patronus Charm before giving the three of them time to ask questions.
"Cough cough, look out!" Fred raised his wand in front of everyone's eyes, cleared his throat and read: "Call God Guard!"
Everyone can see a silvery gas spewing from the tip of Fred's wand.
"This is the Patronus?" Harry couldn't help blinking, feeling that the effect of the Patronus Charm was different from what he thought.
"That's the prototype of the Patronus. The effect is minimal, it can't drive away the dementors, and it can basically be ignored." Albert glanced at Fred and continued: "You heard the spell just now: call God Guard!"
"Call God Guard, Call God Guard, Call God Guard."
All three were repeating the mantra in a low voice, as if trying to keep the mantra in their hearts.
Albert waited for the three to calm down before continuing to say: "When using the Patronus Charm, you need to concentrate, recall the happiest thing in your heart, and recite 'Shu Shen Guard', and the movement of the staff is like this .”
He used his wand to draw a circle so that the three of them could see the Patronus Charm swinging.
"Okay, try it yourself!"
"Call...guard."
"Call God to protect."
Hermione corrected, thin strands of silver smoke coming from the tip of her wand.
"I made it."
"Call God to protect."
After a puff of thin silver gas expelled from the end of the wand, Harry jumped up from the bed excitedly and exclaimed, "I did it, it did it!"
"Why am I the only one who didn't succeed?" Ron was immediately depressed when he saw that all his friends were successful, but his wand didn't respond.
"That's because you're swinging your wand in the opposite direction, my idiot brother." Fred reminded him, covering his face with his hands.
"You're the fool," said Ron annoyed.
Then he tried again, and soon succeeded.
"Okay, you've all successfully used the Patronus Spell, then you just need to continue practicing the spell until you can summon the Patronus in full form. Well, it's the so-called Flesh Patronus, generally They are all in the form of animals, and everyone has a different form of patron saint."
"So it worked?" Ron looked at Fred suspiciously and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
"Only when the Patronus of the flesh is truly summoned can one truly successfully master the Patronus Charm." George explained to the three of them for Fred, "As for our current kind of non-physical Patronus, that is Abe The prototype of the Patronus is a cloud of silver-white gas or smoke, with no specific shape."
"In Albert's words, I can blow your spells away." Fred said, blowing at Ron's wand, and he really gave a thin wisp of silver to the blown away.
"I don't remember saying that." Albert curled his lips and said, "What you need now is to spend a lot of time practicing spells. Of course, I can't guarantee that you will be able to summon a physical Patronus. ."
"Not necessarily able to learn?" Ron asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Under normal circumstances, even if you graduate from the seventh grade, you may not necessarily come into contact with this spell." Albert explained calmly: "And even if you really can't summon a physical Patronus, it's not a shame. In fact, the vast majority of wizards in the magic world are unable to summon the physical guardian angel, otherwise the successful summoning of the physical guardian angel will not be regarded by many people as a sign of superb mana."
"Well, although I think this statement is pure nonsense."
"No, this spell is too difficult." Hermione was a little discouraged, this was the first time she had learned such a profound spell, and it was a bit shocking.
Harry tried again and found that he only summoned a very faint mist, so he couldn't help but ask: "Albert, how long did it take you to successfully summon a physical Patronus?"
"About... half a year!"
"So long."
Ron thought that Albert's talent could be mastered in a few weeks at most.
"Alas! I still don't admit that you are an idiot." Fred looked like you really are an idiot.
"You'd better not take Albert as a role model. That guy will always be a special one. We've been learning from him for several years, and we haven't been able to successfully summon a physical Patronus." Amusing Tom over there Lee Jordan, who guessed what the three were thinking, gave them a shot in advance.
"What is Albert's Patronus?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Gryphon." Fred responded quickly.
"What about you guys?" Ron glared at Fred disapprovingly.
"Magpie!" The two of them said in unison, "Lee Jordan is a gorilla."
"Shut up."
"Can't you summon a physical Patronus?" Hermione immediately realized the problem.
"Albert said, we believe his judgment." Fred and George both have the expressions that you have to believe Albert.
"You prophesied?"
"No, it's just a guess. The shape of the Patronus varies from person to person, and is generally related to personality and heart." Albert explained casually, "Okay, let me give you a final summary:
First: The Patronus Charm requires a very strong magical power as a foundation. If you want to be successful, you need to practice regularly, which will also better exercise your magical powers.
Second: Don't hold the idea that everyone can't succeed, and I probably can't succeed either, or you may never succeed. In my opinion, as long as the magic power is not too bad, and the wizard who is willing to train hard, can generally successfully summon the physical guardian angel.
Third: When casting a spell, try to recall the happiest memory you can think of. Usually, the stronger the memory brings, the stronger the Patronus. When training the Patronus, you can try to learn from this. to start.
Fourth, the will to cast the spell must be firm enough, and it needs to be concentrated enough. Just because the Patronus can be summoned in a brightly lit place does not mean that you can successfully summon the Patronus when faced with a dementor. Those are two different concepts. Dementors will **** the happiness out of your mind. Memories, it will be difficult for you to recall happy memories. Some people cannot summon Patronus for this reason when facing Dementors.
"Any other questions?" Albert asked.
"Can you show us your Patronus!" Hermione pleaded.
"Okay!" Albert raised his wand and summoned his Patronus to fulfill the wishes of several people.
The silver Gryphon Patronus flew around the dormitory and disappeared.
"It's so cool!" Ron said with wide eyes, "I don't know what my Patronus is?"
"The premise is that you can successfully summon the physical Patronus." Fred brutally shattered Ron's fantasy~IndoMTL.com~ I don't think there is much chance. "
"Potter, if you really want to master the Patronus Charm, I suggest you go to Professor Lupin." Albert stopped Harry, who was about to speak, and continued, "Even if you successfully summon the flesh here, Patronus, it is also difficult to rely on him to defend against dementors."
“Why?”
"Those who have had a bad experience are vulnerable to dementors and become vulnerable." Albert said, looking Harry in the eyes, "If you want to overcome the dementors to yourself influences, and you need to face them bravely.”
"Face the Dementors?" Hermione couldn't believe what she heard.
"This is absolutely the craziest thing I've ever heard." Ron muttered.
"Idiot, listen to Albert."
None of the three felt that Albert would advise Harry to confront the Dementors.
"Professor Lupin can definitely help you find a similar replacement, he's a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and has more say in this field than me, you know what I mean? You don't have to be sorry, I think Lupin The professor will be happy to help you, he's a good friend of your father. If you don't believe me, you can ask Hagrid."
