Chapter 112: That... Come on?
Professor Flitwick motioned for Zhang Xiao to follow him, and the two walked towards the office.
"Zhang, do you know the history of the Patronus Charm?"
Flitwick sat on the auspicious clouds and suddenly said an irrelevant question.
"History?" Zhang Xiao thought about it, he really didn't know much about the Patronus Curse, only that it was a special attack on the Dementors.
"Maybe someone used the Patronus Charm a long, long time ago?"
Flitwick nodded: "From ancient woodcuts and scrolls.
Patronus charms have been used since ancient times.
We don't know who invented it, or what exactly came about.
But this spell has a special place - it has long been associated with wizards who fight for noble causes. β
Zhang Xiao listened quietly, Professor Flitwick would not say anything extraneous, maybe the secret of the Patronus Charm was inside.
"That's actually quite biased, at least I know a guy who is a bad guy, but he can also use the Patronus Charm."
The silver Patronus flew above Flitwick's head like a loyal guardian.
"Why do people think that only the noble can release the Patronus?" Flitwick asked again.
Zhang Xiao was silent for a while, and said uncertainly:
"Because releasing a Patronus requires intense happy memories and a very uplifting state of mind?"
"Hahahaha" Flitwick smiled happily: "You summed it up very specifically, Zhang." β
The office door opened automatically, and Flitwick pulled a chair and a small coffee table with his wand and invited Zhang Xiao to sit down.
"Zhang, I have explored the origin of the Patron Deity, and I am also very interested in the unique form of the Patron Deity.
Why do the Patronus Spirits appear mostly in animals? Why are they able to form magical physical patrons? β
Flitwick pinched the small pocket teacup, looked up at his patronus, and said leisurely:
"Because the Patronus has always been with us."
He tapped his chest:
"Happy memories are only part of what makes up a Patronus, like the silver smoke you spewed out when you cast the Patronus Charm earlier.
That's the happy memory. β
Zhang Xiao frowned, trying to digest Flitwick's words, the professor meant that happy memories are just the basics?
Just what is necessary to make up a Patronus, but not all?
"So if you want to form a physical guardian god, you still need one thing, and that is to understand your heart and find what you really want to protect."
Flitwick pointed to the soaring Patronus:
"Like this Patronus, I want to protect the Wind and the Eagle of Hogwarts, the Tower of Ravenclaw."
He smiled and said the final summary, which to be honest, was quite abstract.
But magic, abstraction isn't strange.
Zhang Xiao took Professor Flitwick's words to heart and politely thanked Professor Flitwick and said goodbye.
In the abandoned classroom, the members of the dueling club are seriously practicing some dueling skills.
It can only be said that the previous battle was quite exciting to the little wizard, and even Qiu, Parkinson and the others, who were originally just ordinary exercises, are now a lot more serious.
Neville's family of three has already traveled to Dragon Tiger Mountain, because Alice and Frank are in a special situation.
Neither the phantom nor the movement of the door can be used, and even the plane cannot be sitting.
Only the most common mode of transport can be taken - ferry.
I guess it's still floating in the ocean.
After Cedric corrected Davis's gesture, he stopped teaching for a while, and walked over and asked happily:
"Zhang, I've been approached by a lot of Hufflepuff classmates lately, and they're very interested in the dueling club.
Want to get involved. β
Hearing Cedric say this, several other people also crowded over.
Harry and Ron counted together on their fingers:
"Seamo, and many other classmates also said the same, and they all expressed their intention to participate."
Hermione responded with concern:
"I can totally understand them, it's terrible to have such a club that is so skilled, where I can learn real things, and it just so happens that I didn't get involved!
I'll feel like I'm going to fail the exam! β
Everyone looked at her with terrifying eyes, obviously shocked by Xueba's thinking.
Malfoy managed to suppress his desire to say something:
"The same goes for Slytherin."
Cho nodded, apparently Ravenclaw as well.
Zhang Xiao pondered for a moment, shook his head, and decided to follow the previous plan:
"No, many people are just on a whim, and they can't stick to it for as long as everyone else.
And the reason why I set it up as a small club is because the number of people is just right and everyone can take care of it.
If there are a lot of people, maybe my current method is not suitable, and I have to readjust it according to the number of people, and the effect is not good, and it goes back to the problem - many people can't stick to it. β
Everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"But if they really want to learn, you can go back and do something similar within the academy.
The process of re-teaching what you have learned here to the little wizard and becoming a teacher is also a kind of exercise for everyone. β
The problem was solved, everyone wanted to leave, Zhang Xiao picked up the wand and prepared to ponder the problem of the Patronus Charm.
"Zhang, I saw that you had been using a relatively rare cane swing posture before, is it a unique spell?"
Cedric didn't leave, but asked curiously.
The little wizard who had just dispersed 'hula' surrounded him again, his eyes shining.
Not to mention anything else, these little wizards are definitely full of talent in gossip and gossip.
But there's nothing to hide:
"I'm practicing the Patronus Charm."
"Patronus Charm? Man, this is a very deep, very difficult spell! β
Ron's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
"Yes, my dad doesn't even know that, and he says he's a good graduate of Hogwarts!"
Autumn covered her mouth with her small hands, and her water-like eyes also revealed surprise.
The status of the Patronus Charm is quite high in the eyes of wizards, and it can even be regarded as the 'Avada Curse' in positive magic.
Malfoy, who was standing beside Zhang Xiao, frowned and carefully recalled whether his father would have a patron charm, wanting to find some evidence.
In the end, I can only admit in frustration that my father will not.
But that's okay! Malfoy's hands behind his back were clenched into fists, and if he opened his hand, he would be able to do it!
He'll definitely teach me!
Davis and Harry didn't know as much about the wizarding world as Ron and Malfoy, and they were pulling Hermione to listen to her science in a whisper.
Cedric immediately asked with interest:
"How? Any progress? β
Zhang Xiao directly took out his wand, waved it loudly above his head, and read softly at the same time:
βEx~pectoββPatronumοΌβ
A fantastic puff of silver smoke erupted from the tip of the wand, and was pulled into a silver 'ribbon' with the movement of the wand.
Like a light starlight robe, it covered Zhang Xiao's surroundings, as if the starlight was shining on him.
"Cool!"
Everyone's eyes reflected a little bit of silver light, as if the eyes themselves were glowing.
Zhang Xiao sighed, it was indeed a little richer than before, but what Flitwick said was too general and abstract.
In the words that Professor McGonagall often says:
"As long as you practice enough, there will always be a moment when you will suddenly wake up and let out such an exclamation, which is a wonderful feeling."
Cedric slapped his face and said seriously:
"Zhang, you can already be said to have learned the Patronus Charm, at least most of you don't even have fog.
Or do you want to have a physical Patronus? β
Harry and Davis, who had just roughly understood what a patronus was, immediately lowered their heads again and asked Hermione what a physical patronus was.
"If you want to master this spell, you must have a physical guardian spirit."
Zhang Xiao dispersed the silver smoke.
"It's like your character!" Cedric thought for a moment, took the notepad, and said as he wrote:
"I was also interested in the Patronus Charm, but after trying it once or twice, I realized that I couldn't master it at my current level, so I gave up for the time being.
But I still remember some books, I hope they can help you.
The Amazing Patronus
Great Magic
Tracing the Origins of Ancient Magic
β
Cedric wrote five or six books and handed over the parchment:
"That's all I remember, come on!"
Zhang Xiao immediately turned her gaze to Hermione after thanking her, the little witch was really ready, just like announcing the name of the dish, her ruddy little mouth just spit out a huge number of book titles in an instant.
"Some books mention it, and some of the writings are hard for me to understand, but they all improve the release of the physical patron saint.
The seventh excerpt from Chapter 4 of My Magical Notes.
The first chapter of "Great Magic" is all
At the end of chapter 5 of Magic, Me, Wand
β
Zhang Xiao's scalp was numb when she heard this, and she finally waited until she finished reporting the title of the book, counted it, and there were more than 20 books!
In this way, she was still a little unsatisfied, and said regretfully:
"There are also some that just mention a sentence, or a short paragraph, which I think may not be of great use to you, so I don't say it.
Do you want to add it? β
"No, thank you!"
"Come on, then?"
