Chapter 251: Guardian Saint
"Are you already able to summon a physical Patronus?"
Seeing Albert's reaction, Fred asked almost instinctively, "I remember that you've been practicing the Patronus Charm lately, so it shouldn't take long to summon a physical Patronus." ”
"This ......," Albert noticed that Fred and the three were looking at him inquiringly, and he didn't know what to say.
"Give it a try, I think it's an eagle. George leaned over and suggested with a smile, "I think your physical patronus will be an eagle." ”
"Ahem, I haven't been able to summon a physical patronus yet. Albert said slightly embarrassed, "It's just a cloud of smoke at the moment." ”
"Don't believe it, you're Albert, a real Gryffindor student, of course the Patronus will be a lion, how can it be an eagle. Lee Jordan also turned his face over, with a look that you must be lying to us.
"I said, enough of you. Albert stretched out his hand and pushed the three leaning over into the way, and said rather speechlessly, "Can't the Patronus be some other creature? ”
"Give it a try, even if it's a cloud of fog, maybe you can see a little rudimentary shape. Fred reminded that the three of them were too curious to see what the answer would be.
Although the Patronus Charm is a very complex and ancient spell, the other party is Albert, who knows if he has secretly mastered this spell.
"Alright, Divine Guard!" Albert took a deep breath and began to search his brain for happy memories, pulling out his wand and drawing a circle in reverse, reciting the Patronus spell, a puff of silver gas erupted from the tip of the wand, however, the smoke did not form a physical Patronus.
"You see, the smoke doesn't look like an eagle at all, it seems to be a little bigger, more like a Gryffindor lion. Lee Jordan happily declared his victory.
"No, that's just your guess, you have to wait until you summon the Flesh Patronus!" Fred and George immediately retorted, however, Albert had already frowned slightly, the Patronus's skill had been upgraded to level 2, but he had not succeeded in summoning the Flesh Patronus, which was obviously a bit strange.
For the record, the caster of the Patronus Charm must focus on the happiest memories they can think of, and the more intense the pleasure of the memory, the more powerful the spell becomes.
Perhaps, I should try to change to a happier memory, after all, the strength of the Patronus is related to whether your memories are happy or not.
Albert closed his eyes and remembered how he felt when he first found out he had the panel, which was probably his happiest.
On that day, Albert found that he was no longer ordinary!
"What's wrong?" George asked with a little concern when he noticed Albert's strange appearance, only to find that Albert raised his wand again, drew a circle in reverse, and whispered, "Guardian Guardian!"
This time, a silver sphinx squirted out from the tip of Albert's wand.
The three of them were all stunned, stupidly looking at the silver sphin-like eagle-headed beast that swept over their heads, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's so beautiful!"
"Haha!" Fred suddenly laughed and said to Lee Jordan, "We won, we won." ”
"Bastard, it's clear that you're losing!" Lee Jordan pointed to the sphinx above him and yelled at Fred, "You're talking about eagles, you see which thing is an eagle." ”
"Eagle head, you also saw it just now, Eagle head, is there one, it's Eagle Head. Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison, "Read it with me, Eagle Head, it's about the Eagle, so, we won." ”
"Don't quibble, the sphinx is not an eagle, give me an obedient admission that I lost, and swallow these flavored beans. Li Jordan's face flushed with anger, and when he realized that he couldn't say anything about Fred and George, he jumped up from his seat and threw himself at Fred next to him, intending to persuade the other party, and the carriage suddenly became a mess.
After seeing that his patronus was a sphin-like eagle-headed beast, Albert's face immediately darkened.
"What's wrong? Your face doesn't seem to look good. The playful George noticed Albert's gloomy frown and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course there is a problem, the sphinx is a magical creature!" Fred and Lee Jordan stopped frolicking when Albert first spoke, and listened quietly to him as he continued: "It is said that the wizard's patronus is the same as the Animagus, which means that my Animagus may be in the form of a phinx. ”
"What is Animagus?" asked Fred, confused.
"Stupid, animal transformation!" George reminded, "remember the first day Professor McGonagall turned into a cat." ”
"You remember!" Lee Jordan looked like a ghost.
"Animagus is a wizard who can transform into an animal of his own while retaining his magical powers. Albert gave the three of them a popular science.
"Oh, what's the problem?" Fred asked, "What is that Animagus." ”
"Animagus transfigurations are usually limited to non-magical creatures. Albert reluctantly explained: "The transformation of magical creatures such as phoenixes, fire dragons, etc., will bring unforeseen consequences. ”
"It is said that wizard magic is fundamentally different from magical creature magic in how it works. Albert thought for a moment and explained: "Know that goblins and house-elves, goblins have their own goblin magic, house-elves also have house-elves own magic, they are not in our wizard's magic system, although they can all use wands." ”
The three exchanged glances, apparently not understanding Albert's words.
"In the case of house-elves, Hogwarts prohibits apparitions, but house-elves can apparitions at any time. Albert casually gave an example, "Hogwarts' ban on apparitions can only be directed at wizards, but not on house-elf magic, and that's the difference in the magic system." ”
"Wow, you know these things. All three looked at Albert in surprise.
"This matter is kept secret. Albert reminded.
The three nodded in unison.
"But does that have anything to do with that Ani or something?" asked Fred, scratching his head, puzzled.
"Headmaster Dumbledore used to be a Transfiguration Professor too. Albert knew they didn't understand, so he continued: "I've consulted the records of the Animagus in England for this century, and there are only seven, and nine in the last century, none of whom have Dumbledore's name. Of course, the illegal Animagus is not ruled out, but I once asked Professor McGonagall what the Rector's Animagus was, and Professor McGonagall told me that the Rector's Patronus was the Phoenix. ”
"Phoenixes are magical creatures, so you mean Headmaster Dumbledore isn't Animagus?" asked Lee Jordan uncertainly.
"That's right. Magical creatures are not within the range of Animagus's transformation, and Headmaster Dumbledore should be very aware of this, so after discovering that the Patronus is a phoenix, he may simply give up the transformation of Animagus, otherwise how do you think that with Headmaster Dumbledore's talent and ability, how can he not learn Animagus transformation?" Albert's face was not good-looking, because he had an Animagus task in his task list, which meant that this task might be pitted.
The three of them can understand now, Albert's Patronus is the Griffin, and the Griffin is a magical creature, so it means that Albert may have to give up being an Animagus like Headmaster Dumbledore.
Because once the transformation fails, it may be said that it will suffer unpredictable consequences, no one knows that they will die, and they are desperately trying to get up, isn't that looking for death?
"Even if you can't become an Animagus, it still won't stop you from becoming a wizard as great as Dumbledore, and won't the Headmaster give up as well?" Fred reassured.
"No, I still have a chance, it is said that the Patronus can change, as long as it has experienced some kind of mental blow or emotional upheaval," Albert recalled information related to the Patronus Charm, and as far as he knew, there seemed to be similar cases in Harry Potter.
"Hey, you're too yourself, aren't you!" the three of them were all dumbfounded when they heard this, "Is it really necessary to do this to this extent?"
"I just don't want to give up the possibility of being an Animagus. Albert thought for a moment and said, "I need to write a letter to Professor McGonagall and ask for her advice." ”
"I think you'll probably need an owl. Fred reminded.
"Open the window, Sheila will show up and it will always come back to me when I need it. Albert took the parchment from his suitcase and began to write to Professor McGonagall.
