After receiving Clark's nudge, Harry never heard his mother's dying voice for the rest of the day.

Not only that, but he also began to devote more energy and time to studying.

After all, Harry himself understands that if he wants to resurrect his mother, Clarke's help is only temporary, and great strength is fundamental.

Because of this, his whole person's aura has changed a lot, and even a person like Ron, who is very arrogant, has noticed his change and praised him for being more stable

But this kind of thing was only seen by some of Harry's closer friends, and more young wizards still focused on what was worth happy about.

For example, Professor Lupin's return to class.

"If Snape were to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts again, I would skip class!"

After lunch that day, as they walked towards the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, Ron couldn't help but complain.

Hermione looked at the classroom door, "Don't worry, you can take this class." ”

Yes, Professor Lupin is back to teach.

He looked as if he was seriously ill, his patched old robes were even looser, and there were dark shadows under his eyes, and he looked much haggard.

But when the students sat down, he still looked at them with a smile on his face, reassuring the students' complaints and accusations against Snape.

"It's not fair, he's just a substitute teacher, why should he give us homework?"

"We don't know any werewolves—"

"—two rolls of parchment!"

"Did you tell Professor Snape that we haven't learned that we haven't gotten there?" Lupin frowned slightly.

The answer to him was another gossip.

"I did, but he said we were too far behind—"

"He doesn't listen—"

"—two rolls of parchment!"

Professor Lupin smiled at each of the indignant faces, "Don't worry, I'll talk to Professor Snape, and as for that homework, you don't have to write it." ”

"Great!" The little wizards cheered, only Hermione looked disappointed, "Oh no, I'm done." ”

Next, they had a very pleasant lesson, and Professor Lupin brought a large glass case containing a Hinkpunk.

It was a small, one-legged creature that looked like it was made up of wisps of smoke, and it was rather fragile and not so dangerous.

"He's going to lead the traveler into the mire," Professor Lupin said, taking notes, "noticing the lantern he was carrying?" Jumping forward—people follow the light—and—"

Hinkpunk pressed his face against the glass wall and made a terrible, crunching sound.

Pleasant times were always short-lived, and when the bell rang for the end of class, everyone packed up their things and headed out the door, and Harry was among them, but soon someone stopped him-

"Wait a minute, Harry," it was Professor Lupin, "I have a few words to say to you."

Harry returned and watched as Professor Lupin covered the glass box containing Hinkpunk with a cloth.

"I've heard about the game," Lupin said, turning back to the podium and beginning to put the book in his briefcase, "I'm sorry about it, is it possible to fix your broomstick?" ”

"There's no way," Harry shook his head in disappointment, "the tree broke it to pieces. ”

Lupin sighed when he heard this.

"They planted it the year I came to Hogwarts, and the little wizards used to play a game of trying to touch the trunk of the tree.

Then a boy named David Gerjeen was almost blind in one eye, and the school wouldn't let us go near him anymore. ”

"By the way, and the Dementors," Lupin said again, "I guess they're the reason you fell." ”

Harry nodded, hesitated again, Lupin seemed to be very concerned about him, and when he saw him like this, he said categorically: "Harry, the fact that you passed out has nothing to do with weakness. ”

He seemed to see through Harry's thoughts, "Dementors have more influence on you than others, and that's because of your past experiences......"

"It's okay, Professor, I know." Harry's abrupt opening interrupted him.

"Clark had already communicated with me before, and he told me that Dementors are evil creatures that suck away the pleasure around them, so my reaction at the time was quite normal."

Lupin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh, that's good, I mean, it's good if you figure it out." ”

The two were speechless for a while.

"Professor, if it's okay, then I'll go first." Harry got up to leave.

"Wait!" Lupin stopped him again, "Regarding the Dementors, there are still some defenses. ”

Lupin didn't wait for Harry's inquiry, so he continued, "While I don't dare to claim to be an expert at fending off Dementors, in this regard, I think, Harry, you'll have to learn some way to fend off them, at least the next time Dementors come to Quidditch again." ”

"I know, Clark told me about the Patronus Charm, right?" Harry asked, "Did you teach me, Professor?" ”

Lupin looked at Harry and didn't hesitate, "Yes, I can try, after all, I'm part of Gryffindor, but I'll have to wait until next semester, because I have a lot to do before the holidays, and I'm really sick." ”

A smile crossed Harry's face.

"Thank you so much, Professor!" He thanked him and went out.

But soon, when he returned to the dormitory, he turned around and told Clark everything about it.

"You say, why is Professor Lupin so eager to help me? Could it be that Headmaster Dumbledore found out that I was going to resurrect my mother? ”

Harry's face was nervous, and when it came to the task of resurrecting his mother, this guy's IQ instantly took over the high ground.

Clark smiled and comforted him, "It's as scary as you say, Headmaster Dumbledore can know what's going on in the entire castle, but he won't monitor it all the time." ”

"Then why did Professor Lupin ......?"

Gu Yan

"Maybe it has something to do with your parents," said Clarke, "after all, they're close in age, and they're both Gryffindors, so maybe they have a good relationship when they study, and they'll see that their friend's child is in trouble, so they offer to help." ”

Harry wasn't entirely convinced, but there seemed to be no better explanation for it now.

But Clark added, "But you also have to be careful with the Patronus Charm. ”

"Why?" Harry asked.

"Remember what I told you before? The actual abilities of the Dementors. ”

Harry nodded, "It's to magnify the desires in people's hearts. ”

"That's right, Dementors amplify the desires in people's hearts, so the way I teach you is to face your desires and turn them into your own motivation, to strengthen your will and spirit, but that's not the case with the Patronus Charm."

Clark thought for a moment and said, "The principle of the Patronus is to mobilize the happy emotions in the heart when facing the Dementors, manifest them through magic, and then use them to fight the enemy. ”

"But isn't the joy sucked away by the Dementors? Where does happiness come from? This time, Harry quickly spotted the logical error of the problem.

"Yes, I'll take the initiative to think." Clark smiled.

"That just validates my previous point, doesn't it?

Instead of sucking pleasure away, Dementors amplify your inner desires and raise the ceiling of your happiness so that you can't get it.

But that doesn't mean you don't have other, more satisfying pleasures. ”

He gave an example, "It's like when you first went to the sky on a broomstick; Or to receive a letter from Hogwarts and know that he is a wizard and wants to go to a school of witchcraft and wizardry; Even when you are hungry, you finally have a full meal, aren't these also happy? ”

Harry immediately understood, "In other words, the Patronus Charm is to mobilize other pleasures to fill the void caused by the amplification of our desires, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with doing so?" ”

Clark did not answer positively, but told another story.

"In the Muggle world, because of the rising productivity, a large part of the world's population will be eliminated by productive activities, and they will not have to and cannot actively participate in various productive activities, and will be reduced to a group of 'marginal people'.

But so many people have nothing to do, and it is clearly not what those in power want.

After all, there are many such people, and it is also an unstable factor for the operation of society.

Therefore, in order to comfort these 'outcasts' and avoid social unrest caused by inequality, the rulers at the top need to adopt simpler, faster, warmer, low-cost, and semi-satisfying methods to eliminate their discontent.

I call this method 'pacifier music'.

It is to fill people's lives with intoxicating pastimes and sensual products, to divert their discontent, to immerse them in 'happiness', to unwittingly lose the ability to think, and to challenge the existing ruling class. ”

With that, Clark looked at Harry, "So, what do you think after hearing this?" ”

Harry hesitated and said, "Patronus Charm, also what you call 'pacifier music'?" ”

Without waiting for Clark to answer, he analyzed: "This spell uses other happy emotions in a person's heart to fill his most essential desires, so that he can let go of his desires and become happy...... This, I really want to talk to you. ”

"It's just, why did Professor Lupin ......"

"Don't think about it," Clark said, "you just need to pay attention to it when you learn the Patronus Charm, this kind of magic is not so easy to learn, otherwise it would have been popularized by the Ministry of Magic." ”

This is the end of the chat between the two, and in the days that followed, life on campus was uneventful, and even the "Hogwarts School Magazine" fell into a subscription trough because of its mediocre content.

At the end of November, Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff, and as a result, Hufflepuff was completely out of the House Cup.

Gryffindor is one step closer to the House Cup, and Wood is more energetic, still working tirelessly to train his team in the bitter cold and rain that continues into December.

The Dementors were completely gone, and Dumbledore's anger seemed to have confined them to their posts at the entrance to the school, as if nothing had happened.

The school trustees had a small meeting on the matter, and Clark went to listen, but then it was not resolved.

In this way, the second week before the end of the semester, the sky that had been rainy suddenly became clear and showed a dazzling white color.

The muddy field, soaked in rain, was also covered with a shiny layer of frost one morning.

Inside the castle, there is a Christmas atmosphere everywhere.

Professor Flitwick, who teaches Charms, has decorated his classroom with shimmering light sources that show that they are actually little fairies with flapping wings.

The students were happily discussing their vacation plans, and Ron decided to stay at Hogwarts, saying he couldn't afford to spend two weeks with Percy.

But Harry knew in his heart: Ron was doing this to be with him, and he was grateful.

Hermione and Neville also decided to stay on campus during the holidays, on the one hand, they had to accompany Clark, and on the other hand, several of them were really busy.

Neville's mission to bring new recruits to the Dueling Club has come to an end, and they will be training on new content as soon as the next semester begins.

The sales of the Hogwarts School Magazine had declined, which made Hermione, who had just become the director, very distressed, and decided to take advantage of the holidays to accumulate a little content and manuscripts.

As for Clark, the matter of Fire Dragon Park basically spread as the senior students went to the dragon farm to take classes.

As soon as Christmas is over, the park is about to welcome its first visitors, and Clark will have to put more thought into it in the final moment.

Fortunately, in the last week of the semester, everyone can go to Hogsmeade Village again; Everyone except Harry was happy.

"We can buy any Christmas gifts we want there!" Hermione said, "My mom and dad really love the hairy mints they bought from Duke Honey!"

"No, Hermione, isn't Uncle a dentist?" Clark asked curiously, "He actually likes to eat sugar, and he allows you to eat it!" ”

Hermione angrily slapped Clark as he dismantled the stage.

Harry was the only third-year student left behind, and he had no choice but to borrow a copy of The Broomstick from Wood, deciding to study it carefully that day.

When he is training with the team now, he still rides an old school antique - "Shooting Star".

This type of broomstick, which is very slow and a bit stumbling, has long been obsolete, and he undoubtedly needs a new broomstick of his own.

On the Saturday morning when everyone went to Hogsmeade Village, Clark, Hermione, Neville, and Ron wrapped their cloaks and scarves around them said goodbye to Harry and set out on the road to Hogsmeade Village together.

White snowflakes fluttered above their heads, falling on their shoulders, and winter was indeed coming.
