Chapter 333: Patronus Spell
"By the way, the main content of this lesson, I'm going to teach you the Patronus Charm. Moody's concluded the presentation with a startling statement.
The students in the podium began to whisper, wondering why they suddenly needed to learn the spell.
Pansy's face was filled with deep nostalgia, and she remembered Malfoy's novel experience when she took her to see the Dementors.
As soon as Ron in his seat wanted to say something, he wisely shut up, he had been trained by Moody to be miserable these days.
"Aren't all the Dementors gone?" a student asked Ron's thoughts.
"Yes, that's a reason not to practice. Moody replied patiently in a hoarse voice.
"But I also have a reason to practice. β
"For example, we don't have conclusive evidence that the Dementors are extinct, just in case. Moody tapped his wand on the top of the wooden table in front of him a few times.
"Practicing this spell will also help you learn to control your emotions. β
Not sure if it was a delusion, Harry felt Moody glaring at him with his penetrating magic eye.
"Andβ" The teacher lengthened his own tail.
"As you all know, the wizarding world is not very peaceful these days. Moody said in a hoarse voice.
"That Dark Lord could re-emerge at any moment, and the power of the Death Eaters would spread, spread. When the time comes, our communications will be greatly disrupted, and the way the owl transmits information will be dangerous. β
"Once it's intercepted, it's a very passive situation. Moody's expression grew more serious, and the MONOCULUS turned more and more often.
"And once we learn the Patronus Charms, we can use them to communicate, and when we encounter an enemy, we can control it to disappear. β
"Of course, that must be after mastering a higher level of technology, and I can't reach it now, but I can give you an example. As soon as Moody said this, he raised his wand and pointed it at the high ceiling.
"Divine Guard!"
Silvery gas rose from the tip of Mad Eye Moody's wand and then coalesced.
It was a silver cheetah with a fierce face, stepping in the air, and its keen eyes were staring at all the students, as if to penetrate people's hearts.
It is very much in line with his character who was once keen to capture dark wizards and support justice.
Athletic and agile.
It is worth mentioning that the cheetah's left eye has a deep scar that runs from top to bottom, which is so dazzling on the whole silver-white body.
The form of the guardian deity changes according to the change of the owner.
But not quite.
The four legs of the patronus are also very flexible, and there are no signs of injury, unlike the master's lameness.
Both the Gryffindor and Slytherin students looked at Moody's Patronus with envy.
Because it's handsome.
At this point, Moody's nose, which was missing a chunk of flesh, shook and spoke.
"For today's demo, I asked an old acquaintance of mine who was able to achieve a skill that was enough to support long-range control. β
"Shackle?" he shouted out the door.
As soon as Moody's finished speaking, a silver-white lynx rose up from the classroom door, jumped in, and broke into the classroom.
It attracted everyone's attention.
Then, gracefully and glittering, it returned to the whole lectern with lightness, and looked at the students around it with its sly eyes.
The students were amazed.
They are also felines, somewhat similar to Moody's Patronus, with the same sharp eyes.
Maybe it's something that the same Aurors have in common?
"Hello, Alasto. The lynx raised its paws, its mouth wide open, and greeted Moody in that loud, deep, slow voice.
"Hello, Kingsley. Moody also manipulated his Patronus and said.
"Allow me to introduce myself first. The lynx turned and faced the students in the class.
It was extremely human, and it waved its fluffy silver paws at the students.
"My name is Kingsley Shackle, and I was once a subordinate of Mr. Moody, and now an Auror of the Ministry of Magic. β
The lynx introduces itself to the crowd.
"I still have a job, I have limited time, and I'll cut a long story short, the Patronus Charm is a difficult, but very useful spell, and it's not just for keeping Dementors at bay. β
"As you can see, I'm not here myself, and the most common way for wizards to communicate is to rely on owls to deliver letters, or to stick their heads into the fireplace and cast images. β
"The former is not safe enough and takes a long time, while the latter is quite cumbersome. β
"Well, it's still a little dirty, and I don't think any girl would want to just say a few words to someone and make a mess, right?" Kingsley added.
The girls in the audience were amused by his joke.
"Alright, everyone, goodbye, I hope you have a good time studying, I still have a task. Kingsley's words were rather brief, after all, he was just a person who had been asked to demonstrate.
"You can start practicing, and before that, we can also look at the use of the master. β
"As far as I know, there is one student who has a good grasp of it. Moody's eyes fell on a schoolgirl.
"Miss Parkinson?"
Pansy heard him call her name, got up from her seat, and walked up to the podium without hurrying.
"Divine Guard!"
Pansy raised her wand.
With a coquettish sound, a silver kitten gradually condensed from the silver-white smoke, raised its head, and paced back and forth in the classroom with a proud and elegant posture.
Then Pansy retracted her wand, and the cat turned into silver smoke and gradually dissipated.
"Quite skilled Patronus Charm, Slytherin plus twenty points. Moody's began to applaud.
The Slytherin students also spontaneously burst into applause, and the Gryffindor applause was a little weak.
Ron, in particular, didn't move his hands at all.
"It's ridiculous. He said.
"As far as I know, the Patronus Charm can reflect a person's personality to a certain extent. β
"So the form is different. β
"It could be magical creatures like Phoenix, like your headmaster, Mr. Dumbledore, or maybe ordinary animals everywhere. β
"What you can know is that the ability of the Patronus is different from the form, but the ability to exert it has nothing to do with the form. β
"The most powerful Patronus is recorded to be a mouse, a wizard named Illius who held back an army of hundreds of Dementors. β
The students below exclaimed again.
"So you don't have to be frustrated that your Patronus isn't beautiful or handsome enough. β
"You can go to the library and borrow the Curse of Defense and Deterrence, which has a more profound answer. Moody tapped his cane on the table, alerting the students.
