Chapter 87: Patronus Charm

Karl raised his wand again, trying to force himself to remember the first time he saw Polo.

That was the beginning of his transition from despair to hope, and it was the beginning of his realization that he could change reality.

"Divine Guard!"

The wand fluttered, and then Carl felt something amiss, and the tip of the wand seemed to be bursting out, but it wasn't silver.

"Except for your weapons!"

Carl heard Professor Carlo pronounce the disarming spell, and with a red light, the wand in his hand flew into Professor Caro's hand.

As soon as the wand arrived, Professor Caro threw the ominous wand on the table, as if it were hot.

He looked at Carl with a serious expression: "What were you just thinking?" You almost died on this spell! ”

"I'm thinking about happy things, huh?" Carl was a little dazed, and he vaguely felt as if he had escaped.

"Impossible! I read that right, it was a wand warning you that your spell was failing! ”

"Carl, I must emphasize that the Patronus Charm is truly conscious, it gives light and punishes darkness, and only a dark wizard who has truly fallen into darkness will fail on this spell."

"This failure is no joke, but it will actually take your life!" Professor Carlo warned again. "I can tell you a brief story about Elius and Raccideon."

Ratchideon is a famous dark wizard who once raised a large number of Dementors, and when he threatened a wizarding village, he was stopped by Elius's seemingly weak but actually extremely agile mouse patronus.

Eventually, an enraged Rachdeon decided to summon a Patronus to capture the dexterous mouse.

Then for the first time, the Patronus Charm actually failed: maggots were fired from Rachdeon's wand and soon consumed his body.

Rakidion was the first but not the last, and throughout its long history, the spell has been proven by ironclad evidence that it is truly conscious and can judge whether the freer is truly evil.

"It's complicated here." "We'll talk about why that's happening. But now you have to figure out how to complete the Patronus Charm. ”

Carl picked up his wand from the table, and instead of pronouncing the incantation immediately, he remembered the failure he had just had.

He was sure he was definitely happier than usual at that moment, but why did he fail?

Because Polo?

Carl couldn't be sure.

If this world is really defined by human beings, then Polo undoubtedly belongs to the most evil kind.

He decided to try a different memory.

"Calling the Divine Guard~" Karl said the incantation softly, looking nervously at the tip of his wand.

The aftermath of the catastrophe just now made him extremely sensitive, and this time, as long as it felt wrong, he would throw his wand out as soon as he could, without Professor Carlo's action.

This time, the tip of the wand did not tremble, and a trace of silvery mist quickly emerged from the tip of the wand.

"Good." Professor Carlo, who was originally worried, breathed a sigh of relief. "Movement is a good start."

He looked at the time and said, "That's it for today, you can ······ more privately" Thinking of the situation just now, he suddenly closed his mouth and said:

"Forget it, you should continue to practice with me, don't practice in private."

Carl scratched his ears in embarrassment.

Professor Carlo checked the schedule and said, "You can come to me for one hour every day next week, and it will be enough for almost a week." In this day and age, the Dementors are all in Azkaban, and you don't really need to practice to summon a physical Patronus. ”

"If you can use this magic consistently, you can master it—that's enough. The daily use of this mantra is more to monitor one's own state. ”

Professor Carlo warned again: "If you can't release this spell, then take my words to me, stop what you are doing, reflect on it, and change it. ”

Carl nodded earnestly, but he didn't fully listen to Professor Carlo's words, and he planned to go back and practice more.

Entity Patronus?

How can such a fun spell not be practiced?

As for the danger, he believed that Hattings could protect him.

Before leaving, a question suddenly occurred to him.

There was no practical meaning to the question, and he already had the answer in mind.

But he just wanted to ask.

Not for confirmation, just out of bad taste.

Because revealing people's scars makes people happy inside.

"Professor." He turned back to Professor Caro.

Professor Carlo looked up from his notebook and looked at Carl quizzically.

"You just said that the Patronus Charm is to monitor your own status." Carl said slowly.

"Not bad."

"So, will your niece and nephew be able to use the Patronus Charm?"

······

Professor Caro's mouth was open like an open box, and he froze, his straight eyebrows locked together again, and the deep nasolabial folds made him look a few years older.

"I ······" He spoke slowly, but Carl could feel him trying to maintain something that was just as fragile. "All I can say is that they do do with this spell."

Just because you know this spell doesn't mean you can use it right now.

Like the famous dark wizard Rakidion, if he didn't know this spell, how could he want to summon his Patronus?

Carl didn't think the two siblings who had committed so many crimes could use the spell.

Looking at the suddenly old man in front of him, Carl felt that the happiness in his heart was rapidly disappearing, and an indescribable sympathy was gradually welling up in his heart.

He apologized, "Professor, I shouldn't have asked. ”

Professor Carlo smiled wryly, "It's nothing, you're not the first person to ask, the Ministry of Magic has asked this question as well, and made me pay double the amount for it." ”

He didn't care about the inside story that he had revealed in his understatement, but said solemnly: "I know, child, it's not just you, but also some people around you—those people that Dumbledore has arranged for you, they are all instilling a concept in you over and over again. ”

"The Caro siblings are Death Eaters, and Death Eaters are bad guys, hopeless dark wizards." "But that's not true. Kids, if you've seen them in person, if you've seen those Death Eaters, you'll see that they're not crazy, they have their own loves and hates. ”

"It's the same as the saints of the day, who thought the saints were insane, that Grindelwald was afraid of chaos in the world, and that he was a sinner who turned the world upside down."

"I can't deny that they're a bit extreme, but they're not useless and shouldn't be completely dismissed." Professor Caro sighed, "If you've met Amicus, you'll be impressed by his vast knowledge, and as for Alecto, she loves to cook, and we all love the gingerbread she bakes." ”

"So it's really bias?"

Carl returned to the Gryffindor dormitory in confusion, and as soon as he saw Hattings, Carl told Professor Caro his last words.

He felt that Professor Caro had some truth in what he said, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
