Chapter 227: [Patronus Spell] and Sunflower Seeds

Like Ralph and the others, Lupin was given a pamphlet on the Patronus Charm written by Professor Raining Woods, which was written in great detail, explaining the long history of the Patronus Charm, its uses, and how to cast it.

The hardest part of this spell is in the emotional mobilization.

There are two methods that Grindelwald gives to everyone: one is to recall, constantly searching for memories, and finding the happiest time for yourself; One is to create, to actively seek out things that make you happy, so that you can use these emotions to cast spells.

As for the interpretation of spells and the analysis of spell casting gestures, Grindelwald didn't think it would be difficult for these students. At the same time, he also believes that if you can't do even the most basic spell analysis, then you should not challenge difficult spells.

Spells in Hogwarts textbooks are not difficult and can be learned by all wizards. While spells in the upper grades can be a bit difficult for wizards in the lower grades, as you get older, the spells in the books become simpler.

We all know that mana increases with age, and the period from mana*** to adulthood is when mana grows the fastest. The total amount of mana is the basis for many spells to be released.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with the gradual improvement of various organs of the body and the improvement of wisdom. Wizards in the upper grades are not like wizards in the lower grades, and they need to be constantly taught by the professor.

Another point is magic affinity. Magic affinity has a lot to do with the use of mana, just like muscle memory, mana affinity is the memory of mana, the memory of the magic produced by itself.

As you continue to cast magic, the magic in your body will become more and more handy, so that you can master the effect of your mind moving and your magic power following you. The magic of oneself attracts the magic of nature to achieve the final effect.

Most of the spells taught at Hogwarts don't require your own emotions. They are more willpower-based, including Transfiguration, so when teaching a new spell, the professor always emphasizes "seriousness" and "concentration".

It's these words that everyone is accustomed to that are the most straightforward way to get started with these spells.

Most of the spells that need to arouse their emotions are black magic, and they need some bad taste from themselves. The most common are mischievous spells for children, such as the Bat Spirit Charm, the Knee Inversion Charm, and the Toenail Growth Charm.

There are also some more practical ones, such as: [Knockback Spell], [Stun Spell], [Ten Thousand Bullets Spell] and [Withdrawal Spell] and so on.

Of course, it also includes the three well-known unforgivable curses: the Killing Curse, the Heart Drilling Curse, and the Imperius Curse.

Black magic refers to magic that negatively affects wizards. But that alone doesn't make Hogwarts hide it from any overt teachings.

Its biggest impact on students is emotional return, which can also be called emotional feedback. Unlike white magic, black magic has negative emotional feedback. For example, a young wizard who uses trick-or-treating spells a lot will be more likely to be trick-or-treating.

As a result, the dark arts at Hogwarts can only be taught on their own. If the professor is optimistic about you and trusts you enough, you can also try to ask the professor for help, but don't involve too dangerous magic.

There are also many white magic that uses emotions, such as the [Patronus Charm] that Grindelwald is teaching, and the [Happiness Charm] and so on.

Emotions are also used in some potions, such as the Elixir of Joy, and the penultimate step requires the wizard's happy laughter, which cannot be perfunctory, otherwise it will fail.

The emotions required by the Patronus Mantra are positive, and happiness is only one of the easiest to obtain. It's called "Guardian Spirit", so it must involve protection.

It has also been proven that it is easier to cast this spell with emotions related to "protection".

The Patronus Charm has few uses, other than Dumbledore's invention of communication, the most common use is to banish Dementors and Voldemorts.

Due to the peculiarity of this magic, learning this magic is a good stepping stone for wizards who want to enter the Ministry of Magic.

In the British wizarding world, those who can summon reality

Wizards of the Body Patronus are often promoted to the top positions of the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic.

Obviously, the Entity Patronus is very welcoming to the Ministry of Magic, and even some wizarding businesses will welcome such wizards into the city.

The silver-white entity summoned by the [Patronus Spell] is the so-called "Magical Patronus", and only when this step is reached, this magic is considered to be completed, and on the other hand, it is the beginning.

Wizards' Patronus is not the same, but they are usually in the form of animals, including magical beasts.

There is no correlation between the image of the Patronus and how powerful the Patronus is.

It is recorded in history that Elius single-handedly used his Patronus to drive out the army of Dementors brought by the dark wizard Ratchideon and save the entire village. And the Patronus of Inlius is just a small mouse.

Therefore, the strength of the Patronus is not necessarily related to the size, but only to the strength of the wizard's heart and the total amount of his own mana.

A powerful wizard at heart, he can even banish Dementors with the silver-white mist summoned by the [Patronus Charm].

However, not all wizards who are able to cast the Patronus Charm are good wizards. Although it is generally believed in the wizarding world that only those who are pure in heart can summon Patronus.

However, there are also some dark wizards in history who can summon physical guardians, for unknown reasons, perhaps because they still have a light in their hearts that is worth preserving.

A recent example is the Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald, the Dark Wizard who almost took the entire wizarding world by storm and also has his own Patronus, which is a phoenix.

Not all Dark Wizards will be like Ratchedeon, when they attempt to cast the Patronus Charm, their wands will fire back, releasing maggots to devour themselves.

To be sure, wizards who can have physical guardians are all talented wizards.

Under Ralph's teaching, Lupin learned at a rapid pace, and was soon able to release silvery-white gases.

It was Pandora and Ralph who usually taught Lupin, Snape had a bad relationship with him, and Lily also had a poor influence on the Marauder Quartet due to Snape. Daniel, an excellent second-year student, is not knowledgeable enough to teach Lupin.

But with Ralph busy and Pandora already teaching many times, Lily and Snape would also teach Lupin "with great mercy".

At first, Lily felt that Pandora was too tired, and asked her to take on the obligation to teach, as if she had a good rest, and then Snape joined in.

In fact, their teaching is quite simple, mainly based on Lupin's questions and Ralph's answers.

Even Ralph and the others weren't sure, so they would go to Professor Tenning Woods. Although the professor lived in the principal's office, the classroom where they were taught spells was not the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on the fourth floor, but an empty classroom on the eighth floor.

After a few lessons, Lily and Snape had a much better sense of Lupin.

They discover that Lupin is completely different from Jaime and Sirius, he is polite, gentle, and not as obnoxious as the first two.

This reminded Snape and Lily of the idea that Lupin had been taken to the ground. The two sides looked at each other and silently agreed with this statement.

The smell of gunpowder was introduced a lot, and Snape's tone was still so cold, but it also had a somewhat cloudy style. Lily has changed very quickly, and it should be said that there is no contradiction between the two in themselves.

The conflict between Lily and Jaime is mainly reflected in James's peacock-like show of affection and disrespect for his friends.

James's peacock-like gesture of affection disgusted Lily, and it was during the first year when they started school that she made a strong first impression on Lily.

However, James has changed a lot now. Although he is still naughty and proud, his excellent grades and handsome appearance still make many girls fall in love with him.

This guy is not like Sirius, Sirius is really rotten. But Sirius's dashing appearance and behavior, as well as his already prominent family, have gained a lot for him

Fan sister, many Slytherin witches also secretly have a crush on him.

Compared with them, Lupin is simply a clear stream! As for Pettigrew, even after fighting Jaime and them for so long, Snape didn't care much about this guy.

[In view of the general environment,

A few people stayed in the classroom on the eighth floor, looking at their notes while recalling happy memories to cast the [Patronus Charm].

Outside the window, the sky was covered with dark clouds, layered on top of each other, and it had been several days, but it just hadn't rained.

Today's air was extra dull, Pandora took out a small iron basin from the storage tool, threw a wood-attribute magic crystallization into it, and the flames burst into flames.

This is specially made by Lily and Pandora after the last barbecue, and can be grilled anytime and anywhere. They named it the Bradger, and it burns automatically as soon as you throw in a mana crystal, and you can automatically adjust the temperature, fire, light, and even the color of the flame according to the user's wishes.

Pandora turned the flames into a golden yellow, and the light was soft, dispelling the laziness of the gloomy weather.

Thanks to the last Black Lake dinner, many of the gadgets made by Lily and Pandora this semester have given up the source of magic as the magic pattern, and use the magic crystallization as the core of the magic power.

In the case of the Flame Brad, a thumb-sized mana crystal can keep the flame alive for about a month. The flames on the island of the Black Lagoon were still burning, and the last time Ralph threw it in was a wood magic crystal, the size of a baby's fist.

Mana crystals with different attributes have different effects on the flames.

The wood property can greatly prolong the duration of the flame, and has no effect on temperature and brightness;

The magic crystals of the stone attribute can only act as a source of magic power, and have no other effects, but if you grill it, it will make the taste of the food hard, and it is hard to imagine how Lily and the others tested it;

......

However, the number of magic crystals they can obtain is limited, and the attributes are only as many, and the most are wood attributes, and there are not many conclusions.

When Lupin saw this scene, he was no longer surprised. He didn't ask any more questions about the magic crystal. Claude had already told him that this was the most important resource for the Magic Research Group, for magical research.

Everyone thought about it for a while, felt that there was nothing wrong with Claude's statement, and nodded in agreement.

However, Lupin watched Pandora use "*** resources" so casually for ordinary things, and he didn't understand it.

"Boom~"

A low rolling thunder rang out from the dark clouds.

"It's thundering."

Daniel whispered, looking out the window.

The other little wizards also looked up at the window, and at some point, the dark clouds became extremely black, and the blue light exploded in them, illuminating the sky.

"It's going to rain."

Lupin said.

"It's been almost a week."

Claude nodded approvingly.

Perhaps hearing everyone's expectations, the wind was blowing, and the branches of the forbidden forest in the distance were shaking.

At the beginning of the drizzle, accompanied by a strong wind, it hit the windows, gradually blurring everyone's vision.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning exploded in the air, and a downpour followed.

The scenery outside the window was completely distorted, listening to the howling wind and heavy rain, everyone tightened their clothes for no reason.

Glimpse of the pot of flame in the middle, the slightly green tongue of fire licking the void, illuminating one side and bringing warmth and peace of mind to everyone.

"Hey! Everybody's here!"

The sudden greeting pulled everyone back to reality from the heavy rain and scared many people.

"William, what are you doing so loudly?"

Daniel said grumblingly, looking at William with a dark look in his eyes.

Looking at the eyes of everyone looking at him, William scratched his head embarrassedly and said "sorry" to everyone.

"Don't get in the way

At the door."

Ralph shoved in the back and pushed William in.

"Did you just come back from training on the field?"

Looking at the wet hair of the two, Pandora asked.

"Came back early. I went to take a shower before I came."

William said, sitting down next to Daniel.

"Prefect Billy saw the weather and thought it was going to rain, so he let us back."

Ralph added on the side.

"Your captain is so good. Jaime doesn't have that treatment anymore, and he's probably still training."

Lupin said with a smile.

"Well deserved!"

Lily cursed gloatingly. Snape didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Everybody get closer, let's eat melon seeds. This is Helian's first round of melon seeds."

Ralph said happily, taking out a small pot of melon seeds from the storage props, still steaming.

This is the melon seed from the sunflower pet presented by Professor Sprout.

At the request of the professor, after receiving the letter, the group took Helian to Professor Sprout's sunflower greenhouse.

In the greenhouse, the light clusters suspended on the Helian flower disc began to release tiny rays of light from the outside world, while receiving light from other sunflowers.

To help with pollination, Professor Sprout also keeps a colony of bees in the greenhouse as pollinators.

Then, there was a period of waiting.

Ralph: They are very nervous, like taking care of a pregnant woman. Every now and then, I have to open a book to check the status, and if something is wrong, I will trouble Professor Sprout.

In the end, they were rewarded and the sunflower seeds were born. When the sunflower seeds are ripe, they absorb all the light balls above the sunflower pots.

The petals also absorb part of the light source and condense into golden crystals that fall off from the flower disc. After finding Professor Sprout, the professor cast a spell to pluck the melon seeds, and the flower disc became bare, and Helian fell silent.
