Cedric thought about it all night, so much so that when he ate the next morning, he still looked like he hadn't woken up.

"What do you think?" Kyle asked.

"Of course." Cedric said with a relaxed face: "Only if you can lead Gryffindor by 150 points in twenty minutes, then the victory is still ours." ”

"That's what you came up with?" Kyle looked at him incredulously, "One hundred and fifty points ahead of Gryffindor for twenty minutes?" You didn't wake up, or you forgot your mind in your dorm. ”

"You've done it before." Cedric said, "Remember, the game against Ravenclaw. ”

"That was two years ago!"

Kyle said angrily, "And that's not just my fault, but Harris's cooperation...... Coupled with the fact that the Ravenclaw team was cooking as if they were giving away points at that time, this was able to lead so much. ”

"The situation now is that Harris has graduated."

Kyle continued: "Also, Fred and George apologized to me early after our first game, saying they would never let the Bludger get out of my 10 feet.

"Do you understand what that means, the two of them and Goalkeeper Wood, I'll have to get past at least three guys to score!"

"But that's the only way." Cedric sneered.

He thought about it for a night yesterday and found that the fire crossbow arrow was an inexplicable existence...... In the face of sheer speed, any tactics pale in comparison.

Unless you lock in the win early.

"I'll get everybody to cooperate with you." Cedric said, "The next tactics are centered around you. ”

"Okay." Kyle nodded.

After breakfast, several people left the auditorium and went to their classrooms to prepare for class.

Today is the day when Professor Lupin's Patronus Charm Club begins, and many people's minds are not in class because they are looking forward to it.

The professors apparently found this out as well, but it was clearly not a big problem for them, and it could be solved in a single sentence.

"No talking in class, Mr. Flor, Slytherin deduct five more points!"

In Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall knocked on the table and said earnestly, "If any of you get more than ten points deducted from this class, then you should be locked up and go to the library at eight o'clock in the evening and clean those bookshelves!" ”

As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, everyone immediately sat up.

Eight o'clock is exactly the time the club starts, and the library has hundreds of bookshelves...... After the cleaning, it is estimated that the club will be over a long time ago.

"Good!" Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction, "Let's continue with what we just said, the most important thing about the Transformation Charm is decisiveness, and we can't hesitate to ......."

Later, she seemed to tell the other professors about this method, so that in the rest of the class, everyone was nervous, afraid that they would be left behind and confined at night.

……

And just like that, it was finally eight o'clock.

Some people went to the auditorium early in the morning to wait, and some people didn't leave at all, and stayed here after dinner.

By the time Kyle and the others arrived, there were already a lot of people.

The long tables were once again moved to the side, and not a single cloud could be seen from the enchanted ceiling, and the sky was full of stars.

At eight o'clock, Professor Lupin walked in on time. It seemed to be the first time he had faced so many students, and he looked a little nervous.

"Take it easy, Remus." Professor McGonagall whispered comfortingly, "It's like a normal class." ”

Not only Professor McGonagall, but also Professor Flitwick and Snape, as well as Madam Pomfrey from the University Hospital.

This lineup is not known how many times higher than last year's dueling club.

Soon, though, Kyle learns why.

"First of all, I ask you not to panic."

Professor Lupin placed a large box on the ground, "While some people think my approach is too risky, I must say that the fastest way to learn the Patronus Charm is to face the Dementors. ”

Everyone stared at the box in front of him, as if they had guessed something, and they all started talking, and subconsciously stepped back.

A large area soon cleared up around Professor Lupin.

"That's right, as you might think, it's a Dementor sponsored by the Ministry of Magic for free."

He clapped his hands, and the box immediately shook violently.

The surrounding discussion became louder, and some of the younger students had begun to turn back in the direction of the door frequently.

"Please don't worry, I'm not going to let it out at the first club, and there are several professors here, enough to keep everyone safe......"

Professor Lupin must not hold his wand to his throat in order to silence the growing chatter.

"Of course, if you want to leave, I won't stop you, it's your freedom......"

Professor Lupin waved his wand and opened the door to the Great Hall.

Some students hesitated for a moment and left, but many more chose to stay.

"Looks like you've already decided."

Professor Lupin said, "You can leave at any time if you want, and if you decide to stay, please be quiet and we will start learning the Patronus Charm."

First of all, we need to understand this spell, which is a very profound magic, far beyond the ordinary wizard level, and I can't guarantee that you can all learn it, but I will do my best to teach each and every one of you. ”

Because there were so many people, Professor Lupin did not pick and choose someone to answer, as he did in class, but explained it himself.

"The patron saint is a positive force, an externalized manifestation of hope, happiness, and survival...... But it doesn't feel despair like real people, so the Dementors can't help them......"

Professor Lupin cleared his throat and continued, "You must focus all your will on a particularly pleasant moment for this spell to take effect......

"Remember my pre-holiday request? Those happy memories...... Now I'll give you some time to think about it. ”

Soon, everyone's expressions began to change.

"The spell is ......," Professor Lupin pronounced clearly, "Calling the Divine Guard!" ”

"Calling the Gods to Protect ......"

"Now, focus your mind on those pleasant memories and say the mantra."

At Professor Lupin's request, everyone did so.

After a while, clouds of silvery-white gas began to float in the auditorium, like an early morning mist.

They piled up over the auditorium, gathering more and more.

"Very well," Professor Lupin said with a smile, "it seems that you have mastered the basics, so, are you ready to practice further?" ”

"Ready." The crowd held their breath and clenched their wands.

Professor Lupin placed his hand on the box and pressed it gently.

The box didn't open, but it had a few more holes.

The student standing at the front faintly heard a long inhale in his ears.

A biting chill began to permeate, and the silver mist that hung over the Great Hall dissipated in an instant.

Some began to tremble, unable to hold their wands steadily, and couldn't help but want to flee from here, while others gritted their teeth and began to chant incantations louder.

"Calling the Gods to Protect ......"

"Divine Guard!"

The silvery mist was dissipating, but at the same time new ones were being replenished.

"Smack!"

I don't know how long it took for Professor Lupin to close the holes in the boxes.

The chill disappeared with it.
