On the third Thursday of January, Professor Lupin borrowed Phyllis's History of Magic classroom and used a boggart to teach Harry how to use his inner strength to resist the influence of the Dementors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Inspired by this, Phyllis felt that she should also teach her students this powerful and useful spell, the Patronus Charm.

Professor Kate had scheduled the week's meeting for the History Interest Group on Saturday, and early in the morning, Leah got out of bed, washed up, and put on a light blue thick cloak lined with soft fur inside. Walking out of the warm castle, a cold wind blew, Leah couldn't help but shiver, and tightened her cloak again, it was too cold, it was now eight days in the morning, and it was just dawn, and it was the coldest time of the day.

The meeting was no longer in Professor Kate's office, but in the Forbidden Forest, not in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, of course, but on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where Professor Kate had built a cabin where both Leah and Hermione had visited.

The Forbidden Forest in winter was extraordinarily quiet, many of the leaves of the trees had fallen off, leaving only bare branches, twisting and stretching into the sky, full of humus, the originally soft ground was also frozen and hard, and the calfskin boots she wore would make a clicking sound when stepping on them, which sounded particularly harsh in this completely quiet environment.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, Lia came to her destination, a small cabin built in a glade, with a small stream running next to it, but now the surface of the stream was completely frozen. The chalet had three rooms, interconnected insides, with walls made of thick logs, rammed earth, and doors and windows not very large to withstand the cold and long English winters.

Leah pushed the door open, and a wave of heat rushed in, Professor Kate's house-elf Amy had already lit the fireplace, and the orange tongue of fire was licking the large pieces of wood freely, and the heat emitted made the whole cabin warm like spring.

Hermione and Drake had already arrived, and were sitting on the couch, when Leah pushed the door open, a cold wind blew in, so that Hermione couldn't help but shudder, and said, "Leah, close the door, it's so cold." ”

Liya hurriedly turned around and closed the door, and said with a smile: "Aren't you cold in such thin clothes?" ”

Hermione was now wearing only a red knitted sweater with a large apple outlined with gold thread on it. Hermione replied, "You won't feel cold if you stay here for a while, Amy has made the fire too hot."

Leah sat down in a chair next to the fireplace, warmed her somewhat frozen hands, and asked, "Isn't Professor Kate here yet?" ”

Hermione took a newspaper out of her bag, flipped through it casually, and said, "No, not yet." ”

"Oh." Leah said yes and didn't speak again, the atmosphere in the cabin was quiet, Leah was roasting on the fire, Hermione was reading today's Daily Prophet, Drake was sitting on the couch, closing his eyes to recuperate, and Leah wondered if he was asleep.

Leah asked, "Drake, did Karkaroff write back to you?" ”

Last year, Phyllis gave them an assignment and hooked up with Karkaroff, using him as a bait to see if they could squeeze something out of him. Originally, Phyllis didn't have much hope, she just hoped that they could fight against a cunning adult wizard like Karkaroff, accumulate some experience, and it was good if they succeeded, and it didn't matter if they failed, and even she was ready for how she would end up after they completely messed up. But what Phyllis didn't expect was that Drake and the others really deceived Karkaroff, and they didn't know what method they used, so they were stunned to make Karkaroff believe that Drake, an underage student, could influence the ideas of Phyllis and his father Lucius Malfoy, and in order to win over the little guy, Karkaroff actually sent him a note with black magic. Of course, this kind of note is not comparable to the note he gave to Phyllis, it only records some black magic studied by modern wizards, which is relatively ordinary, but these black magic is deep enough for Drake and his third-year students, and the four students have been studying the dark magic notebook in their spare time, but the progress is a little slow, after all, Hogwarts does not allow the study of dark magic, and they have no experience in how to learn black magic for the four little ones.

Drake, who was in charge of communicating with Karkaroff, opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and said, "I've replied, he has agreed to send us a set of Durmstrang textbooks." "The notebook that Karkaroff gave them before was relatively ordinary in the dark arts, but it was for adult wizards, and the third-year students didn't understand anything, but almost everything, and they didn't even know how to ask Professor Kate for advice. In the end, the result of the discussion was that they needed a set of dark arts textbooks, because of Voldemort's rage, British wizards could no longer buy dark arts learning materials on the market. In the end, Hermione came up with a way to ask for another set of Durmstrang textbooks, with which they could learn step by step.

It wasn't long before William came, and the four students chatted casually, and Lia took out the notebook—each of them had a manuscript of the notes—and discussed some of the issues with each other, and it was only at nine o'clock that Phyllis pushed the door in.

"Good morning, Professor." Seeing Professor Kate come in, all four students stood up and greeted them, Phyllis's teaching to them had the distinctive characteristics of traditional oriental teaching, and respecting teachers was what she emphasized.

Phyllis nodded and said, "Sit down." She came to the fireplace, saw the notebook on the coffee table, and said with a smile, "Still working on this?" ”

Leah said, "yes, but I can't read it. ”

Hermione said, "Karkaroff has promised to send us a set of textbooks, and with that set of textbooks we will probably understand." ”

Phyllis said: "It's a bit early for you to learn this note now, let's learn that set of textbooks first, okay, let's not talk about this, I asked you to come here today because I was inspired by Professor Lupin, and I decided to teach you a very practical, and more advanced spell - the Patronus Charm." ”

Phyllis asked, "Who knows anything about the Patronus Charm?" ”

Hermione spoke: "The Patronus Charm is a profound spell, mainly used to ward off Dementors, the spell is 'Call the God Guardian', when casting the spell, think of the happiest things, in addition, everyone's Patronus image is different, it is related to the inner experience. Although she was not old enough to learn this spell, Hermione had seen an introduction to the Patronus Charm in her extracurricular readings, and she thought it was interesting, so she wrote it down.

Phyllis said, "It's basically true, the Patronus Charm is a representation of advanced magic spells, and at its core is the need to be happy, which may seem simple, but it is really not easy to do. Advanced spells are different from general spells, the typical feature is that they need the support of the inner will, this kind of spell is not simply learned by a lot of practice, even if the action and spell practice is no longer standard, it is useless to cast this spell requires specific emotional support, generally some kind of extreme emotion, how to control your heart, mobilize the inner power is the key to casting this spell. ”

Phyllis paused for a moment, allowing the students to digest what she had just said, and continued: "A lot of black magic is a high-level spell, if you want to cast a black magic spell, you often need to have a grudge, only a strong grudge can exert the maximum power of that spell, which is why the school does not allow students to learn black magic, your age is the period of character development, and often forcing yourself to be in resentment will have a very bad impact on your mental health growth. ”

"Isn't it dangerous for us to learn the dark arts at this time?" Leah asked cautiously.

"Don't be so nervous." Phyllis soothed and said, "First of all, not all dark arts need to be resentful, especially the basic spells that you are about to learn, and I want you to learn to control your emotions as soon as possible, and be able to mobilize your inner strength, which is what all good wizards must do, although you are younger, I think you are capable of doing this." The Patronus Charm is a good practice, and this kind of charm mobilizes happy emotions, and it will not have any shadow on your psyche, through the study of the Patronus Charm, you can experience how you control your inner power. ”

After briefly introducing the students, Phyllis said, "Okay, let's show you what the Patronus looks like. As she spoke, Phyllis waved her wand, and a silvery-white translucent unicorn flew out of the top of the wand. The unicorn wandered back and forth in the hut, looking curiously, as if curious about where it had appeared.

Drake stood up, looked at the unicorn, and asked, "This is the Patronus, it's not the same as what I saw before." "As a child who grew up in the wizarding world, he had seen Patronus summoned by others.

Leah also said, "yes, this Patronus is a little ...... How to put it, it's too true. In her impression, the Patronus was a little hazy in light and shadow, but this unicorn could even see the hair on its body one by one, and what was even stranger was that it seemed to have a consciousness of its own.

Phyllis said, "Learning and mastering any spell are not the same, especially for this kind of advanced spell, and you can only use its true power if you study it carefully. With that, Phyllis waved her wand violently, and the unicorn hissed, and a pair of white wings spread out on its ribs, emitting a gentle but extremely intense light, and it looked at Leah with a pair of pale blue eyes, as majestic as an angel of judgment.

Under that gaze, the four students felt like they had arrived at the mythical Heavenly Inquisition, and they couldn't help but stand up and look at the winged unicorn in amazement. After giving them a glimpse of the truly powerful Patronus, Phyllis waved her wand and dissipated the unicorn.

After a while, the four students calmed down, the unicorn's gaze just now was so terrible that it penetrated through the bottom of their hearts, and all the sins in their hearts seemed to be seen through by it.

Liya said with trepidation, "This ...... What's going on? ”

Phyllis said: "The power of the Patronus depends on the wizard, the Patronus of an ordinary wizard can only dispel two or three Dementors, if you face dozens of Dementors, there is no way, but really powerful wizards are different, think about what happened in the Quidditch field last year, Headmaster Dumbledore used his Patronus to disperse more than two hundred Dementors, relying on his deep and powerful strength." ”

Drake asked, "Professor Kate, is this Patronus of yours even more powerful than Headmaster Dumbledore's?" ”

Phyllis smiled and said, "Of course not, it's not for nothing that Headmaster Dumbledore is called the greatest wizard of our time, and I can't compare to it now." ”

"But I feel like this unicorn of yours is stronger than the headmaster's phoenix." Draco was also present at the time, and had seen Dumbledore's Phoenix Patronus with his own eyes.

Phyllis said, "That's because you didn't get up close like that." "At that time, Headmaster Dumbledore appeared in mid-air after summoning the Patronus, quite far away from the students in the stands, and mainly aimed at the Dementors gathered around the court, so Drake naturally didn't feel too strong.

Phyllis said, "All right, children, now I will teach you the essentials of this spell. ”

Phyllis then explained to them in detail how to pronounce the spell and how to swing her wand, and then had them demonstrate it one by one in front of her, making sure that each of them knew exactly how to cast it.

"Drake, don't be so hasty when chanting spells."

"Leah, swing your wand a little harder."

"William, you're making a mistake, take a closer look at how I did it."

"Hermione, don't have that long pause between 'Calling God' and 'Guarding'."

Phyllis only now realizes that teaching students spells is extremely troublesome, in the face of a spell that has never been learned, they will always make all kinds of mistakes, these four students are already the best in the third grade, and they dare not study hard in front of her, but even so, it took Phyllis more than an hour for them to learn the standard movements and pronunciation of this spell, I really don't know how Professor Flitwick survived.

"Alright." Phyllis clapped her hands and said, "You've learned the movements and pronunciation, now, try to cast this spell, and think of happy things in your heart." (To be continued.) )
