Chapter 8: Daphne's Self-Motivation

Zhang Hao himself was also terrified of his inner curiosity, and since his rebirth, he had always thought that he was fearless.

Even Voldemort was only nervous in front of him, and he was never afraid.

Even when facing the terrifying three-headed dog Lu Wei, he was only a strategic shift of reason, and he did not panic at all.

Even when summoned by the Ministry of Magic, he didn't have any nervousness......

But now, the boggart in front of him has finally taught him how to be a man!

The yellow sky, the pillars of mines, the tornado that swept everything......

The ground is full of broken walls, countless mushroom clouds rise into the sky, and mountains and rivers fall down......

The bones were blown everywhere by the wind, and there was not a single living creature in the picture, not even the sun and the moon.

Zhang Hao admits that these images are terrifying, but they are definitely not so terrifying that he can't bear it.

But he just couldn't help it, his body seemed to have some kind of instinct, and it was suddenly stimulated - his pupils contracted to the size of pinholes, cold sweat oozed from his forehead involuntarily, and his fingers couldn't help shaking......

This is clearly a manifestation of fear to the extreme!

But, just some pictures what is there to be afraid of?

Isn't this kind of picture very common in some sci-fi blockbusters?

Zhang Hao couldn't understand, he wanted to tear Boggart apart, but he wanted to figure everything out.

He had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with the images, perhaps reflecting something important that was closely related to him.

He just watched quietly, resisting fear with willpower.

There was silence in the classroom, and the other young wizards couldn't laugh.

Even their professor, Lupin, was dumbfounded, he had never seen Boggart conjure up such a picture - every time he faced Boggart, he could only turn it into a full moon.

It's just too shocking, it's the real apocalypse.

The wizarding world of wizards is too small!

The picture is full of dense dry bones, how many people have to die to pile up so many dry bones?

Are there so many people in the wizarding world?

For most people, death is still terrible.

Even if it's just some dry bones, it will make people feel creepy, which is a kind of fear of the death of a rabbit and a fox.

That's why Voldemort had such an impact.

"Mr. Zhang, spell!" Lupin finally came to his senses, and he reminded, "You should destroy it!"

Zhang Hao's pupils diated a few points, and then lightly tapped his wand: "Funny funny!"

In the next moment, all the horrific images disappeared, replaced by a girl holding a basketball and singing and dancing......

Oh! Boggart can't sing, dance, rap, it just stalks with its mouth open.

"Who is she? What is she doing? What's so funny about that?"

The little wizards didn't know what this picture meant, and they all thought in ignorance - after all, the only thing that defeated Boggart was laughter, what was so funny about that?

"Very well behaved," Professor Lupin laughed, "next classmate!"

The rest of the class was relaxed again, and the little wizards changed the Boggart to and fro, and the classroom was full of laughter.

But the muscles on Zhang Hao's face were still very stiff, and the pictures that Boggart had conjured up before were still lingering in his mind, so he couldn't laugh at all.

"What's wrong with you?" Daphne said with concern after class, "Your face doesn't look normal. ”

Zhang Hao's face is indeed not normal, under normal circumstances, he has a calm smile on his face, as if he has no troubles to be taken to heart.

But now, that smile is gone.

Even in his eyes, there was a little more gloom that was difficult to detect.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is nothing, but in the eyes of those close to him, it will feel extremely distressed.

"It's nothing, it'll be fine in a few days. Zhang Hao pretended to be relaxed and said, "Do you want to go to the library?" ”

He wanted to be quiet for a while, but he couldn't be quiet without finding a good reason.

Daphne hesitated for a moment, then smiled brightly, "Okay! Let's go to the library." ”

She is not the silly cute foodie she used to be, she was smart and didn't pester Zhang Hao to ask, she thinks the most important thing to do now is to accompany him quietly.

They sat in the library for a long time, and when they left, Zhang Hao finally returned to normal.

"Hao, can you teach me to practice spells?" Daphne hugged Zhang Hao's arm and said with attachment: "I want to help you, I want to learn magic well." ”

She has always been ignorant, thinking that she only needs to be with someone to like him. But what happened today made her realize that there is something more uncomfortable in this world than parting - that is, watching something happen and being powerless to change.

She hopes that she and Zhang Hao can live happily every day, and she never thought about what hardships she might encounter in the future......

But now, she felt she had to think about it.

"Really?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise: "Practicing magic is very hard, can you really endure hardship?"

"Of course, I can. Daphne said firmly, "As long as you teach me, I will learn hard." ”

Zhang Hao said helplessly: "Since you want to learn, of course I am willing to teach you." ”

So, in the days that followed, they went in pairs.

The two are inseparable, Zhang Hao is explaining the spell almost every moment, Daphne's seriousness is surprising, and the previous laziness is not visible in her at all.

The others also took the opportunity to take advantage of the small stove, Harry, Ron, Draco, Pansy - they were a little better than Daphne, but they could also benefit from it.

Maybe only Hermione didn't need this kind of small stove, because she had often asked Zhang Hao for all kinds of knowledge before.

Today, they are taking refuge in the Room of Need.

"What are we going to learn today?" Daphne asked happily, "I've learned the Illusion Charm!"

"Today we're learning the Patronus Charm, a more advanced spell that, if you can learn it, it means you'll be in the sixth year. Zhang Hao said casually: "The Patronus Spell is a spell to deal with Dementors, as long as you learn the Patronus Charm, you don't have to be afraid of Dementors anymore." ”

In fact, many sophisticated adult wizards may not be able to learn the Patronus Charm.

So Zhang Hao didn't dare to say that the difficulty was too high, he was afraid that Daphne would not be able to learn it.

In the process of teaching Daphne to practice spells, Zhang Hao discovered that frequent practice of magic can also enhance the effect of magic.

Although the increase is small and slow, the effect of long-term accumulation cannot be ignored.

Perhaps it is because of this that many excellent wizards can excel.

If a wizard has a mana growth factor of 1 when practicing magic at a normal frequency, then a mana growth factor of 1.1-1.5 may be practiced at a high frequency.

The reason why there is such a range is to take into account the different qualifications of each wizard.

Compare Ron to Hermione, a pure-blood wizard and a Muggle wizard, even if Ron has been lazy, he is not weaker than Hermione in terms of magic.

The advantage of the bloodline is here, but few can grasp it.

Daphne was the same, she was only concerned about eating and playing in the first grade, and naturally wasted a year.

And Harry and Ron, they were the same.

Only Hermione came from behind, seizing every minute and every second to surpass most wizards of her age.

Recently, Zhang Hao has supervised and taught Daphne to practice magic, which has made her great progress.

If Daphne and Ron are allowed to go head-to-head now, I'm afraid Ron will lose in a minute.

Perhaps among the Savior Seven, only Hermione could hold Daphne in check.

After all, Hermione has also been taught by Zhang Hao, and she is a high-achieving student trained by him.

Returning to the point, Daphne heard that she was going to learn the Patronus Charm, and said happily, "Great! I've been unhappy with the Dementors for a long time! Those swarthy creatures are so annoying, and every time I pass by them, I feel so depressed." ”

"Can the Patronus Charm really deal with Dementors?" Harry was also intrigued, after all, Dementors had a great influence on him.

"Yes, as long as you learn the Patronus Charm and use it well, the Dementors will no longer be able to threaten you. Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Do you also want to catch the Dementors and beat them?" They don't seem to have pain nerves, so it's useless to beat them. ”

"How do you know?" asked Harry, curious, "What about the Dementor you caught last time?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Hao, they had wanted to ask about this for a long time.

"That guy was dismantled by me!" Zhang Hao said casually: "You may not know, it has nothing in its stomach." There was only some black mist and ashes, like waste paper that had been burned to ashes. The most critical thing in his body should be a crystal that glows blackβ€”that should be its heart. Other than that, it's some slimy flocculent nerves. ”

The friends gasped, Zhang Hao said it easily, but they felt very terrifying.

"Anything else?" Hermione asked, "Aren't you trying to find the Dementors' weaknesses?

"No!" Zhang Hao said helplessly: "The corpse of the dementor is difficult to preserve, and it will soon turn to ashes after death. ”

It's hard to save, but it's not impossible to save.

Zhang Hao speculated that perhaps some kind of magic vessel could be used to preserve the corpse of the dementor.

"If you can kill the Dementors, why didn't you find a weakness?" Ron asked, puzzled, "How did you kill it?"

"Suppress it with the Patronus Charm, then cut off its head with a knife. Zhang Hao spread his hands: "Look, you have to use the Patronus Charm." ”

"Enough talk about the Dementors!" Draco said impatiently, "Let's talk about the Patronus Charm first! I'm going to learn this......"

His face was blue and purple, and his whole person looked extremely desolate - this is the price of making Zhang Hao's women's clothes!

He originally wanted to go to Ms. Pomfrey for treatment, but Zhang Hao didn't allow it.

If he dares to be treated, he will have to endure that pain again!

"Okay, then let's talk about the spell of the Patronus Charm first......" Zhang Hao said with a smile: "This spell is very complicated, follow me first." ”

"Ix Patio Pachanam (Guardian of the Gods)!"

"Ixpaitiochanam (Guardian of the Gods)!" x6

After they practiced a few times, Zhang Hao said: "Any magic we use requires the cooperation of relevant emotions, and the same is true for the Patronus Charm. When casting this spell, we must try to recall happy memories. How happy you are in your heart, how powerful this spell will be......"

He explained all the details and then encouraged: "Give it a try! It doesn't matter if you don't succeed, you will succeed sooner or later." ”

Then, everyone started to practice together.
