Chapter 416: Practicing the Patronus Charm

“ExpectoPatronum!”

Harry shouted as the flickering white light forced the Dementors back a few steps again, and the thick white mist faintly resembled a stag, only to collapse again.

After casting the spell, Harry gasped tiredly, and after a night of intense practice, he had already mastered this profound spell, but he was unable to condense his Patronus for a long time.

Every time you are about to succeed, you are interrupted...

"Alright, Harry, let's stop!" Seeing this situation, Ivan couldn't help frowning and spoke.

Harry was reluctant to try again, but the Dementors on the other side had had enough of it, and with a "whoosh" he slipped straight back into the sack.

Seeing this, Harry had no choice but to give up the idea of practicing again.

Ivan took a few steps forward, took out a box of chocolate frogs from the pocket of his wizard's robe, handed it to Harry, and spoke:

"You need to take it easy now... Come on, eat a piece of this, it will make you feel better. Don't rush it, we still have a lot of time! ”

Harry nodded, took the box Ivan handed over, took out a chocolate frog, and took a bite of it.

There was a bitter taste in his mouth, and there was a hint of sweetness in it, and when he swallowed it, Harry felt a warm current rise from his stomach, dispelling the chill he had felt when he touched the Dementors.

When Harry had regained some of his spirits, Ivan continued. "Overall you've done a great job... I feel like you're just a little bit away from condensing the Patronus! Is there some kind of dilemma? If you don't mind, you can tell me about it. ”

"Every time I get close to the Dementors, I think about the scene where the Downland Demon killed my parents, and I can't remember the happy things," Harry said to Ivan, after a moment's hesitation.

There was another thing Harry didn't say, it always made him a little uncomfortable to think back on those happy memories in such a situation, and he felt sorry for his dead parents.

"How can you think that? Just because you know that your parents sacrificed for you, so you are ready to keep such a sad face? They sacrificed their lives to protect you, and they must hope that you can grow up healthy and happy..."Ivan understood what Harry meant, and couldn't help but say comfort.

"But those who betrayed them... That Blake is still at large, and I can't do anything! Harry gritted his teeth, his body shaking.

Desperate for his life to protect his parents, he died under the informant of the betrayer. All the joy that came to Harry's mind was lost at the thought of Black escaping from Azkaban, roaming the outside and even trying to kill himself...

Ivan opened his mouth to reassure Harry, telling him that James and Lily didn't want him to risk it anyway.

But Ivan couldn't say this sentence for a long time, and after returning from Tumbledown Alley after reversing time and space, he understood Harry's current mood.

And Harry's hatred for Sirius was beyond Ivan's imagination.

Originally, Ivan was going to take advantage of this opportunity to be alone with Harry and talk to him about Sirius, but now Ivan was suddenly a little unsure if he could convince Harry.

It's still a headache for Lupin and Sirius, and if Peter Pettigrew, who is dead, is still alive and has the Dark Mark tattoo on his wrist, Harry will probably believe them.

Thinking of this, Ivan turned to Harry.

"Harry, let's practice here today!"

"Why? I'm in great shape! Try again or twice for sure! Harry said eagerly.

"You've been practicing all night, and even if you're not tired, you're going to give our Mr. Dementor a break, right? You can stand it, it can't stand it! Also, what you need now is not practice, it's a lack of joyful emotions! Ivan shrugged his shoulders and quipped.

Harry thought about it, and dismissed the idea of studying the Patronus Charm all night.

Then, Ivan took advantage of the situation and suggested that everyone go to Hogsmeade Village tomorrow afternoon to play and adjust their mood, which should help the Patronus Charm to learn.

"Maybe you've been walking around there and you're in a good mood, and maybe you'll be able to condense your Patronus when you come back." Ivan said with a smile.

Although it was a joke, Ivan did think so in his heart.

Harry couldn't condense the Patronus, after all, because Sirius's affairs formed a knot in his heart, as long as he could untie this knot, it would not be difficult to master the Guardian of the Gods...

Harry was very moved by Ivan's advice, he had heard George and Fred say that Hogsmeade was a wizarding village with many interesting things.

Just thinking that he needed to fill out an application form to go to Hogsmeade Village, the expression on Harry's face fell again, and he said helplessly.

"But I shouldn't be able to go there, no one wants to sign me on the application form!"

"So what? I didn't have an application form either, but no one ever stopped me! Ivan said with a smile.

Due to the attack on Althea at the beginning of the school year, and he hid in Tumbledown Alley, the application form did not know where to go, and Ivan did not receive it at all... But he didn't care, and no one could stop him if he wanted to go out anyway.

"Is there a way you can hide from the Dementors and sneak out of the school?" Harry immediately understood what Ivan meant, and hurriedly asked.

"That's right! I know of a secret passage that leads directly to the village of Hogsmeade, and there are no Dementors guarding it! What do you think? Are you going? Ivan asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Harry nodded without hesitation, not caring at all about sneaking outside and potentially being intercepted by Sirius.

Or maybe Harry wasn't afraid of the betrayer, and even wanted to find him and send Blake back to Azkaban! That's where the shameful traitors should be!

Seeing that Harry agreed, Ivan waved his wand to rebind the sack, snapped his fingers and summoned Dobby to get the thing to the Room of Need.

After packing up, the two of them left the classroom together and returned to the Gryffindor dormitory.

Ron, who was alone in the dorm room teasing the rats, heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head, noticed the tired look on Harry's face, and asked curiously. "Harry, Ivan, where have you been? Coming back so late? ”

"We've found a place to practice our magic," Ivan replied casually, his gaze lingering on Spotted's body for a moment, and he continued.

"That's right, Ron! Harry and I are going to Hogsmeade tomorrow, do you want to be together? ”
