Chapter 284: High-level Patronus Spell
"Honestly, I really don't want to pretend to be an expert in teaching. Aberforth said as he took out four bottles of Butterbeer from under the bar and placed them on the old counter.
Albert paid 8 Sico and fished out four bottles of Butterbeer for everyone.
Aberforth put Sico in the wooden cash cabinet and continued the topic just now, "The magic we use is not just one way, the wizards further improve the magic, so that the magic changes according to the wishes of the spellcaster, which is a more advanced use of magic. ”
"Wizards usually call it something high. Aberforth took a puff on his cigarette and let out a smoke ring leisurely, "Of course, the reason why magic is called advanced is because these changes are a further use of magic, and many wizards don't know about it, or even can't do it. Their appearance is more due to the further exploration and study of magic by wizards. ”
"I know that, like this, right!" Albert raised his wand and used fluorescent flashes, and a ball of light floated from the tip of the wand and hovered above everyone's heads, and the originally dim pig's head bar suddenly became bright.
Aberforth's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but he forgot that he had just smoked, and the smoke came out of his mouth, choking Aberforth with a dry cough.
"Well, sort of!" Aberforth was amazed at Albert's magical talent, even Albus, at this age, couldn't do it to this extent.
"Of course, the Patronus Charm is far more difficult than this, because the Patronus Charm itself is advanced magic, so it is naturally more difficult to change at an advanced level. Aberforth didn't care about his cigarette, walked out from behind the counter, sat down in the creaky wooden chair opposite Albert, and continued, "Many people think that only those who are pure in heart can summon a Patronus, but this is actually a fallacy, and many people with negative personality traits can also summon Patronus. ”
Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other, but Albert was not surprised, he remembered that Professor Toad in the fifth part was also able to summon the Patronus.
"Looks like you know these things. Aberforth was a little skeptical that the man in front of him would be the next Albus in a few years.
"Well, I know. Albert answered, motioning for Aberforth to continue.
"In the process of casting the Patronus Charm, the caster needs to be confident, to focus all his thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment, and to have a strong magical power to support the spell for it to take effect. Aberforth said, "You should have read what I wrote to you about the way the High Patronus Charm is used. ”
"I've seen it, but I still don't understand it, so it's better for you to explain it yourself!"
Albert had naturally read what Aberforth had written for himself, but he felt that it was useless, or that the mere description was too abstract.
"The will must be strong, negative emotions can affect the release of the Patronus Charm, and many wizards will not be able to use the Patronus Charm when facing Dementors. Aberforth held up a finger, "You need to learn how to keep yourself happy." ”
"Most advanced magic requires the support of great magical power, and the Patronus Charm is no exception, which is why they can't succeed right now. Aberforth raised a second finger and pointed at the three Freds, who were trying the Patronus Charm.
"Self-confidence is half the battle. Aberforth held up a third finger and said, "Still, I don't think you're short of it." ”
Even he could see that the person in front of him was very confident and never thought he would fail.
Albert was speechless for a while, he actually wanted to let Aberforth talk about the main point directly, but in the end he held back and did not interrupt the other party's rhythm.
"To learn the Advanced Patronus Charm, you need to make it easy for you to use the Patronus Charm. Aberforth seemed to sense Albert's impatience and continued, "When you use the Patronus Charm, you will have a gesture of drawing circles with your wand, which is the process of building up power for the charm, and then you need to recite the spell "Call the Divine Guardian".
"In the process of charging, you need to make your brain repeat what you want to communicate. Aberforth explained, "So usually the arraignments aren't very long. ”
The Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan could understand every word, but they couldn't understand what they were saying.
"Hmm!"
Albert probably understood what the other party meant.
"The Patronus Charm is used to communicate, and its own power is not too strong, and it is usually difficult to maintain the form of the Flesh Patronus, and it takes a long time of practice before it is possible to summon the Flesh Patronus when transmitting. ”
Albert nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Got it?" Aberforth said with emotion in his heart, what a great guy.
"Give it a try!" he said.
"You're not done, are you?" said Albert suddenly.
"I was going to wait until you can get to that point before I talk about the final steps. Aberforth didn't want to hide it, and went on.
"Next, it's for the Patronus to find the person you want to interrogate. By fixing the position, he has to act like a phantom manifestation, and you need to know the exact position. The other is to go straight to the person, which is kind of like a stalking charm, do you use a stalking charm? I think it's a little too early for you right now. ”
Albert frowned slightly, he really wouldn't use a stalking charm.
"I'll learn the stalking charm when I go back. ”
"Divine Guard!" Albert recalls his message as he recalls his memories and finally pronounces a spell that only a puff of silver gas emanates from the tip of his wand.
Undoubtedly, failed.
"It's normal to fail, you need to practice a lot, and no one can immediately master the advanced use of the Patronus after listening to the theory. Aberforth comforted casually.
"Thank you, Mr. Aberforth!" Albert pulled out his pen and recorded the use of the High Patronus under Aberforth's stunned gaze.
Then, he beckoned the three friends to leave the pig's head bar together.
"I hate the Hog's Head Bar. George muttered.
"That's a surprise!" said Lee Jordan, who drank the rest of the butterbeer in one gulp, and left with Albert.
"I think the Patronus Charm is hard to learn!"
Fred's wand spewed a pitifully thin gas.
"Your magical power is not enough, and it took me a lot of time to learn it. Of course, if you want to use it in front of Dementors, that's a different story. Albert was going to return to Hogwarts before the other students arrived at Hogsmeade.
"We wanted to go to Jokowi's joke shop. Fred and George said in unison, "We're running out of dung eggs." ”
"I heard that Jokowi has new goods there. Lee Jordan chimed in.
"Okay, but I think we'd better hurry!" Albert said, pulling out his pocket watch and shaking it in front of the three of them, "I don't want anyone else to catch us hanging out in Hogsmeade lest they go and sue the professor." ”
As it turned out, Albert's words were in vain.
As soon as the trio entered Jokowi's joke shop, they were attracted by the array of merchandise inside, and when they were about to return to Hogwarts, the streets of Hogsmeade were already full of students. The four of them had to use the Illusion Charm and make a big circle to avoid the passing students.
