The next morning, Jon was in the Daily Prophet and saw piles of news about Gilderoy Lockhart.

"The well-known wizard Gilderoy Lockhart is a fraudster who abuses the Oblivion Spell!", wrote the Daily Prophet on the front page.

The International League Against the Black Arts announced the revocation of Lockhart's honorary membership, and the Sir Merlin Council announced the revocation of the third-class medal awarded to Lockhart. "This is the second edition of the news.

"Secretary of the Magic Connelly Fudge said that law enforcement officers have been dispatched and will arrest Lockhart as soon as possible. On a crutch in the third edition, Jon sees a portrait of the Minister of Magic.

As Lockhart had predicted, his story spread throughout the campus......

As he passed by Gryffindor's long table, Jon heard the loud voice of Ron Weasley:

"I knew for a long time that Gilderoy Lockhart was a liar!"

"Sure enough, not a word of what he said is true!" Harry Potter nodded in agreement.

"But he escaped...... Hermione Granger screamed, her voice sounding surprised and angry, as if she had been deceived into her feelings, "the Ministry of Magic didn't catch him!"

"Hmph, he won't be able to escape far!" Ron snorted coldly, "My dad told me that those law enforcement officers at the Ministry of Magic are very powerful!"

It's not just Gryffindor students, but Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and even Slytherin students celebrating Gilderoy Lockhart's departure...... For the first time in nearly a century, the four colleges are surprisingly unanimous on one thing.

Even Professor Snape, who had always been dressed in a black robe and did not smile, was wearing a festive red jacket today, and he looked like a red bat.

Jon didn't participate in their celebration or criticism, and after reading the newspaper and nibbling on a few loaves of bread for breakfast, he left the dining room.

......

There was no class on Thursday morning, and now that the basilisk was dead, there was no need for Jon to act as cautiously as before.

Arriving at the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, Jon pulled out a few books he had gotten from yesterday.

"Under the Moon," about werewolf habits, "Summoning the Joy of Your Heart," about Dementors and Patronus charms, both of which were borrowed from the forbidden section, and the white pamphlet that Professor Lockhart had left for him.

Jon first took a cursory look at the white booklet, and the Forgetting Spell was much more esoteric and complex than he had imagined, and it was even more difficult to release it without leaving too many traces...... The slightest mistake can have devastating consequences, and in fact the spell is so dangerous that it is difficult to find books describing it, even in the forbidden section of Hogwarts.

Jon only looked at it for ten minutes, and then he had to close it again.

Then he cursoryly flipped through another book.

He had already learned a lot about the habits of "werewolves", and it was not difficult for him to read "Under the Shadow of the Moon...... About an hour later, Jon picked up the last copy of Summoning the Joy of Your Heart:

What is described in this book will also be a very difficult challenge for him......

The Patronus Charm is a very deep form of defensive magic, and when casting this spell, the mage needs to concentrate on what is most enjoyable in his heart.

The spell is "Expecto Patronum".

When fully functional, you can summon your own Patronus, who can take the attack and launch a counterattack in your place, and can banish or even destroy Dementors and Voldemort Bat (or Living Corpse Cloth), and is the only natural enemy of these evil creatures.

Many spells are emotionally dependent on their release, and without a doubt, the Patronus Charm is the most emotionally dependent of them all...... It requires truly happy memories.

It is true that you can not find a lot of happy memories in your mind, but it is not easy for you to truly feel happy memories from the bottom of your heart.

After all, since I came to this world, I have been an adult mentally, and I can't be like a child, with the same forever strong "joys, sorrows, sorrows", and many happy memories of my previous life have become somewhat blurred over time.

Jon took a deep breath, and he decided to give it a try.

He drew his wand, squinted slightly, and began to recall the memory of "happiness" in his mind, while shouting in a low voice:

"Expecto Patronum!"

At this moment, the memory in his mind is his own mood when he received the admission letter from Eton College.

It's a pity that there is almost no change at the tip of the wand, and he fails!

Think about it carefully...... When I first received my offer to EtonHouse, I was more relieved than happy.

"Expecto Patronum!"

Another release, once again with no change at the tip of the wand...... The memory he chose was last summer, when he successfully cast the "petrification spell" on a mouse, and that was the first spell he successfully released.

Recall...... Magic wasn't too mysterious to him at the time, and petrification wasn't a profound spell, and the feeling was more predictable than happy.

"Expecto Patronum!"

Third Release ...... The memory of the choice is that in Ollivanders' store, he obtained the approval of the emerald bamboo wand!

Still failing!

Recall...... At the beginning, my emotions were not really happy, but seemed to be a kind of happiness?

......

After almost half a morning of practice, there was still not a single silver thread on the tip of Jon's wand.

The release of the Patronus Charm, he didn't even control the slightest bit of skin...... It's harder than you think.

Jon sat on the floor of the Room of Requirement, pursed his lips, searching for memories that could be associated with happiness...... He tried almost all of these memories, but still did not get the "approval" of the Patronus.

It wasn't until the time on his watch showed that it was 12 noon, and Jon walked out of the Room of Request with some reluctance.

I have to say that this morning is another memory of failure.

Arriving in the dining room, Jon overhears Hannah Abbott talking to Wayne Hopkins:

"That's great, it's the coolest Defence Against the Dark Arts class I've ever taken!" Hannah exclaimed, "I didn't expect ......"

But halfway through her sentence, she was interrupted by Zachares-Smith:

"yes, Lockhart escaped, we don't have a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher anymore...... Hannah, who is it?" he leaned over to Hannah, and the monkey shouted anxiously.

Hannah giggled, "I'm not going to tell you, you'll know then, it's really, really good!"
