Chapter 116: Zhang Xiao's Patron Saint (3-in-1 Chapter)
Why not draw the bones first?
Zhang Xiao recalled the notes of the glove lady:
I use beauty as a skeleton, hope as flesh and blood, happiness into it, color in it, and I want to make a picture.
He considered many possibilities, and also believed that beauty, hope, and happiness were necessary conditions for the formation of the patron saint of the flesh.
But I didn't think about it, maybe the glove lady was really describing the painting.
"Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Malfoy stared at Zhang Xiao in surprise and asked curiously.
Zhang Xiao came back to his senses: "It's nothing, Draco, you continue, what else?" ”
"Oh, my teacher also said that there is a very special way of drawing, first with white to draw the bones, then with other colors to paint the flesh, and finally to paint the skin."
Harry also listened with his head sticking out, and he had to admit that Draco Malfoy did have an excellent education, unlike himself.
Aunt Petunia and Aunt Vernon were reluctant to take out a hobby for him to learn.
Zhang Xiao wrote down what Malfoy said, there seemed to be light in his eyes, he didn't need to learn this way of drawing, as long as he had a certain understanding.
When Malfoy had finished, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh:
"I think I know how to try, thanks, Draco."
The little wizards seemed to find that Zhang could be seen everywhere, and except for class, he was always quietly drawing on the drawing board.
Lakeside, tower, corridor, lawn, garden.
Sometimes people are drawn, sometimes animals are painted.
Only a few people in the dueling club knew what Zhang was doing, and they were all looking forward to it, as long as Zhang could learn the Patronus Charm, according to his style.
The people of the dueling club will soon be able to learn.
That's a Patronus Charm! Or the patron saint of the flesh! Even their own parents won't, so they're all waiting for that silver glow to shine.
Wait for Zhang Zai to perform a miracle and master the Flesh Patronus in the second grade.
"The most honorable young master, is it okay to rain like this?"
The rain sat on a small chair by the black lake, shaking her little short legs a little crampedly.
"Well, just sit still." Zhang Xiao stuffed a fishing rod into his hand: "You just think you're fishing, so you won't be bored." ”
"Fishing?" Rain let out a high-pitched and excited voice: "This is something that only old men can do, can rain also fish?" ”
Zhang Xiao was amused by it, and put a small fish basket beside it:
"Of course, Rain you are a free elf, even in the future, we are just an employment relationship, and you have your own life outside of work."
Excited, I almost cried out of the rain, and I was in high spirits and threw myself into the first fishing in my life.
It was so focused, its long ears twitching gently, and its bright eyes the size of a tennis ball staring at the float with anticipation.
At this time, the rain reveals the purest happiness from the inside out.
Zhang Xiao set up a drawing board, regarded the rain as a model, and prepared to paint.
He sketched out the rough lines of the bones with lines, and soon one leaned forward, stretched out his head to look at the skeleton frame in the distance, and jumped onto the paper.
Then he began to draw the shape with a messy line of varying lengths.
Zhang Xiao carefully observed the demeanor and movements of the rain, it was a little nervous now, because it was the first time to fish, and the two hands held the fishing rod tightly.
I didn't dare to blink my eyes, for fear of missing every moment of the fish float.
Suddenly, the rain moved, and the muscles in its arms suddenly tensed, and it pulled up violently, accompanied by the sound of 'banging' water, and a small fish hung on the hook and kept flicking its tail in the air.
The rain jumped, and even two snot bubbles bubbled up with joy:
"Fish! There are fish! I've caught it! Master, the rain catches a fish! ”
In Zhang Xiao's eyes, the colors around the rain are incomparably bright, and its happiness seems to spread to the surroundings, which is a kind of happiness that is pure to the extreme, without a trace of impurities.
The brush in his hand stopped in the air.
I think of beauty as a skeleton.
Serve as flesh and blood with hope.
Inject joy into it.
I paint it with color and want to make a picture.
I seem to get it.
Zhang Xiao closed her eyes slightly, and she had already come to the thinking hut.
He walked past the rows of bookshelves, brushed his fingers over the thick spine of the book, stopped in front of a book, and with a slight force, hooked the book out.
The bookcase locked in the center opened, and the sealed book was much less distorted, and even the words on the cover could be faintly seen.
Zhang Xiao took the book and walked to the empty space by the window, and sat down straight in the air.
A soft sofa is invisibly created, quickly turning from a line into a real thing, and the elastic seat cushion is recessed.
Zhang Xiao leaned back in her chair and stared at the book in her hand.
This book is "Home", which is the book condensed from the home of the previous life when I first condensed the thinking hut.
"Bang la la"
A series of books on the bookcase flew in a line like birds, like tarot cards, lined up in front of Zhang Xiao.
With Zhang Xiao's movements, these dozens of books opened the pages at the same time, flipping through them at a very fast speed like a money counter.
There was a pause from time to time, and then a page of content was projected in front of Zhang Xiao in the form of a picture, which was his memory, and he couldn't remember a lot of it.
But it is faithfully preserved, recorded, and waited by the subconscious.
Eat the candy you want to eat, go on a spring outing, and talk to the girl you like.
Hang out with mom and dad.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds without haze, listen to your favorite songs.
Got a great read.
Mom called and said that the cactus that had been raised for many years had bloomed again.
I went black with a good friend, won an afternoon, went to eat barbecue, and the barbecue was delicious.
Dad's medical check-up was fine.
On a rainy day, no need to go to work, no one to disturb, a good night's sleep.
The memories below seem to carry the warmth, like the warm sunshine.
It was an indelible memory engraved in his heart.
He opened the book called Home.
Look at it slowly.
is not only the home in the previous life, but also the warmth and love given by Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu in this life.
I think of beauty as a skeleton.
Zhang Xiao waved his hand, and a series of pictures overlapped rapidly, connecting into a long dragon with fluorescence.
Serve as flesh and blood with hope.
Those expectations and yearning for a better life in the future surround us.
Inject joy into it.
The innumerable small but real happiness is like fireflies in the sky, gathering towards here.
I paint it with color and want to make a picture.
I see
In reality, Zhang Xiao opened her eyes, the sun was already half-covered and half-hidden lying on the horizon, a little reluctant, and the communication line of morning and dusk was slowly moving.
It may not be long before night falls, and the stars can't wait to show their light.
In the towering castle, the windows lit up one after another.
The water is sparkling, the rain is still immersed in the joy of fishing, and it catches a lot of fish, and the small basket is almost full.
I see.
The corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth suddenly turned upward, revealing a smile, and he raised his wand above his head, slowly drawing circles.
"Calling God. Bodyguard! ”
A silvery-white glow like moonlight bloomed from the tip of the wand, and then it was like something was brewing in it, and the light flowed.
It was as if something was jumping, and the silver silk threads were quickly intertwined, as if forming bones, flesh, and skin, and the last two particularly bright silver points of light formed the eyes, as if infused with the soul.
A dragon carp with a large size swaying its long whiskers jumped out of the light, and it swam flexibly around Zhang Xiao.
Then it swam happily with a silvery glow, treating the sky as an endless lake.
This brilliant light illuminates the courtyard below, the greenhouse in the distance, and even the surface of the lake.
The dragon carp kept swimming, and the huge castle seemed to be its playground, and it swam past curiously.
Walk through tall towers, long suspension bridges, and wander freely through the castle.
Shadows are disappearing, whether it's the mottled swaying branches or the shadows left by the towers.
In the main building of the castle, in the high headmaster's office, Dumbledore, dressed in a simple white robe, put down the candy in his hand.
He walked quickly to the window and looked at the Patronus like a living thing, something he had never seen before.
The blue eyes reflected a bright gaze through the half-moon lenses, and then smiled, a smile that was heartening and cheerful.
"The Amazing Patronus is amazing."
He said softly, "Right, Fox? ”
Fawkes, who had just attained nirvana, glanced at him, turned his face disdainfully, stared at the magic photo in the nest, closed his eyes and rubbed his face.
"Goo~"
Then contentedly, he buried his head under his wings and began another day's rest.
Dumbledore chuckled, unimpressed:
"Zhang is completely different from Tom, his life so far is 13 years old, he has been filled with joy and happiness to summon such a real patronus, right?
That's great."
In the castle of Hogwarts, many people have noticed this unusual patronus.
Flitwick held his glass in his hand and held it high:
"Wonderful! A patron saint worth a glass to - Zhang! ”
In the vice-principal's office, McGonagall flipped through the assignments handed in by the students, her chest rising and falling violently, obviously angry.
Then he looked out the window, and his lips curled in a straight line at last;
Professor Sprout was in the warm greenhouse, with his hands folded, looking expectantly at the ginseng leaves in the pot;
Professor Snape sat in his chair in a daze, his eyes like a deep well, and he also summoned the Patronus, and just watched it run back and forth in the small room.
……
The rain has already lowered the fishing rod in his hand, and it looks up at the dragon carp shuttling around the campus, and there is surprise on its little face.
Zhang Xiao also raised his head and stared motionlessly.
"It's beautiful, sir."
"Yes, it's beautiful."
"Zhang, show us a hand!"
"Have you really learned?"
"O Merlin! 2nd grade! The Patron God of the Flesh! It's incredible! ”
"It's a miracle!"
In the abandoned classroom, when I learned that Zhang Xiao had finally cast the Guardian Spirit of the flesh.
The little wizards surrounded him in the middle, looking expectantly, this is the patron saint of the flesh!
Zhang Xiao sighed, as long as he pulled out his wand, he was as easy as eating and drinking, without the slightest delay and brewing.
It was only in this thought that he recited the incantation:
"Divine Guard!"
The silver dragon carp shook its head and tail and poured out from the tip of the wand, circled around Zhang Xiao a few times affectionately, and then happily swung its fins and tail up and down in the air, like a real carp.
"Wow!" The little wizard let out a neat exclamation, following the swimming body of the dragon carp, and kept turning his head.
Hermione's eyes were misty, and she said softly:
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"That's right, I never thought that a fish could be so beautiful, you look at its eyes, it looks like it's alive!" Ron looked at the dragon carp in amazement and agreed.
Harry was different from them, he only had an inexplicable voice in his heart, the Patronus Curse, and he must know it too!
"Zhang, is this an ordinary creature or a magical beast?" Malfoy looked at it for a moment and suddenly asked curiously.
As we all know, the rarer the physical patronus is, the more powerful it is, and if it is a magical creature, it is a powerful symbol, and among the wizards currently alive, only Dumbledore has a phoenix.
This almost represents his unshakable strength.
If the prominent figure of Slytherin, the president of the Qingluan Society, and the model of pureblood, Zhang's Patronus is a magical creature.
That would be an immeasurable uplift for Slytherin!
Normal creatures or magical beasts?
Zhang Xiao scratched her head, this is indeed not easy to distinguish, carp must be there in reality, but his patron saint is not the same as carp, dragon carp should be regarded as a legendary creature, right?
At least those two long whiskers, he had never seen them on ordinary carp, they were the same as dragon whiskers!
After hesitating for a while, Zhang still said truthfully: "Actually, I'm not sure what this is, it should be considered a half-animal, half-magical creature?" ”
Malfoy was barely satisfied with this answer, and a half-legend is also a legend.
Only Cedric asked the most fundamental question:
"Zhang, how did you successfully summon the Flesh Patronus? Can we learn? ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Xiao nodded affirmatively, not only that, but their learning will be much easier, and they don't need to be as difficult as themselves.
After mastering the physical Patronus, many problems are solved, and if you guess correctly, the third to sixth grades are the best time to learn about the Patronus.
After this stage, it will become more and more difficult to learn, and the young wizard will rarely touch this legendary difficult spell because of his young age.
Because of old age, joy and happiness are not so pure, and it is difficult to condense the physical guardian saint, but when you are young, you may not have enough experience.
As for the reason why Harry and the members of Harry were able to easily learn the Patronus Charm, Zhang Xiao probably figured it out.
When the little wizard is learning the Patronus Charm, when he finds that the happiness is not enough, he will instinctively look for other happy memories, and accumulate them little by little.
Finally, through an opportunity, all the accumulated things are released, which is the guardian god of the flesh.
This method is very similar to Zhang Xiao's! It's just that the link of filling in flesh, injecting 'soul', and applying color is missing.
And when a group of people learn the Patronus Charm, the mist or other things released can easily resonate with the little wizards.
Let them unconsciously immerse themselves in joy and happiness, and invisibly reduce the difficulty.
Adults are different, they will find out what they feel happiest in their hearts, and if it doesn't work out, they may think that it is not happy enough and change it.
It's not like a little wizard does an addition continuously.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiao used the thinking of an adult to learn the Patronus Charm, constantly looking for what he thought was the happiest moment, but he never thought of thinking about the interesting and happy moments in his life when he released them.
However, there is a great difference between the physical guardians summoned by these two methods.
For example, Zhang Xiao's patron saint, it is very easy to summon it again after it is constructed, only one thought and one spell are needed.
And it's so agile that it looks like a living thing.
The little wizards are different, first of all, because the construction is not perfect, and all that is summoned is the physical guardian spirit, nothing more, with an empty body and a lack of 'soul'.
If you want to release it again, it depends on the state, and it is likely that you will not be able to release it at all in actual combat.
Even Harry himself was aware of this, which is why he told the young wizards in the fifth Order of the Phoenix:
"It's worth noting that we all summoned the Patronus in a brightly lit and very safe environment.
If you really face the Dementors, you probably won't be able to do anything. ”
After pondering for a while, Zhang Xiao looked at the little wizards with blank eyes, and finally said:
"Before, I thought that I had a fork in the road, if you study, it's very simple, try your best to think about happy things, one is not enough, two things.
If two is not enough, three pieces will be enough, and we will do our best to dig into every bit of happiness and joyful moments in our hearts.
Until you can summon a Patronus. ”
"Is that enough?" Harry scratched his messy hair, a little surprised at how easy the legendary Patronus Charm was.
"That's enough!"
Zhang Xiao said seriously.
Then he looked at Ron and asked meaningfully:
"Dude, how's your Rat Spotted doing now? Still asleep? ”
Ron was a little depressed, and Mouse Spotted had been with their family for thirteen years, although he usually disliked it.
But when I think that Banban is so old and may 'not work' at any time, I still can't help but feel sad:
"Well, it's been alive long enough, and it's probably going to leave us soon, right?"
Yes, he will be leaving you soon.
Zhang Xiao's eyes narrowed, and the Patronus Charm had been mastered. The focus is on Peter Pettigrew!
Taking advantage of everyone's enthusiasm to practice the Patronus Charm, Zhang Xiao sat aside and began to plan the following plan.
In fact, the whole thing is not complicated, just grab Peter and hand it over to Dumbledore.
The most difficult thing is how to rationally explain how to spot Peter Pettigrew.
But this question is no longer difficult.
After going through the affairs of St. Mungo's family, Dumbledore already knew that there was a magical spell in the East that could directly see many things that were invisible to the naked eye.
And the most critical evidence has also been added
Things are changing rapidly, and the tracker given to Peter at the beginning of the school year is no longer useful.
Zhang Xiao took out the map of the living spots and stared at the black dots in the Gryffindor Tower, named Peter Pettigrew.
Here's the proof.
Harry and Ron pushed open the door to the dormitory, looked at it casually, and then said into the air:
"Zhang, Seamus isn't here."
Zhang Xiao took off the invisibility cloak and gave it back to Harry:
"Where's Spotted?"
Ron pointed to the sleeping rat lying beside him, "It's still sleeping, I'm really worried that it will leave in its sleep one day." ”
Peter was awakened by the noise, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Ron Harry, and the rarely seen Chang.
A trace of doubt flashed in the black bean-like eyes, what are they doing here?
"Zhang, can your medicine really rejuvenate Spotted?"
"Absolutely, this is a nutritional tonic from the East, mild and non-irritating, very useful for mice!"
You want to help me supplement my nutrition? Peter was relieved for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered the scene on the train when school started.
The kid didn't know what he had gotten on himself.
Ever since then, Peter has felt as if he was being watched.
As a rat-like Animagus, Peter trusts his instincts, which he has been able to dodge many times.
Now what kind of rat tonic is this child going to take care of himself?
The uneasiness in Peter's heart grew stronger, and he struck a jerry and rolled out of bed.
No, you have to run!
Zhang Xiao's expression moved, and he stepped over in a few steps, and grabbed Peter with lightning speed.
Harry and Ron stared blankly.
Total feeling. What's wrong?
Peter's eyes flashed with blood, and he opened his mouth to bite down, but the hand holding it suddenly floated with a thin layer of golden light.
His teeth were as sharp as if he had been hit by steel, and Peter couldn't help but let out a 'squeak' scream, almost shattering his teeth.
Zhang Xiao took this opportunity to pick up the 'rat tonic' - a powerful water of life and death, and directly put the bottle mouth into Banban's mouth.
Peter smelled the smell, and his heart suddenly sank, as a necessary water of life and death for tricks, how could he not know it?
Subconsciously, I want to turn into a human form and escape.
But Professor Snape's special potent water of life and death was terrifyingly powerful, and it took effect almost immediately after swallowing.
The little mouse almost rolled its eyes, and it was as if the bones of its body had been pulled out, and it collapsed softly.
"Zhang" Ron's eyes widened, and he pointed at Peter tremblingly, and said sadly, "Spotted. Is Spotted dead? ”
Zhang Xiao didn't answer, but took out the silver square from his pocket and turned it into a sturdy cage.
I don't know what material this block is, but it's extremely strong anyway, but I'm not afraid that Peter will be able to break free.
"It's not dead, it's just asleep." Zhang Xiao closed the cage well, and then let out a sigh: "Ron, I'll borrow it for a while." ”
"Yes"
Zhang Xiao looked at Ron, who was a little anxious, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, on the contrary. Probably a good thing. ”
The friendship and trust he had built over the past two years had led Ron to trust Chang, and he wanted to know what Chang was saying about the good things.
Then the rest is simple.
Go find Dumbledore!
