Chapter 232： "Professor Lupin's patron saint curse is extremely clever"

Later in the day--

"You mean Harry's broom hit the beating willow?"

Felix said in surprise, and Hermione said sadly, "When we went to look for it, only some wreckage was found."

"Harry must be very sad," Felix said with a sigh. He took out a note, wrote a few lines of blessings, and then stopped to ask Hermione's opinion: "Do you think the greeting card should be added? Magic effects, such as sounds?"

"Better not," Hermione said firmly, "Ginny gave Harry a rehabilitation card. If you don't press it under the pillow, it will scream..."

Felix shrugged. "Let's do it." He handed the card to Hermione. "Bring me to Harry."

In the next few days, the little wizards happily discussed what happened on Saturday, especially Professor Haipu’s patron saint of Swift, who was full of visual effects.

The name Patronus Mantra quickly spread to the entire school and became the center of recent topics. Any student who pulls in can make a point, even if there are many fallacies in their words.

Some low-grade little wizards obtained various true and false information from the high-grade students, combined with their own understanding, and spread it out again.

Many people actually don't know the principle of the "half-round moon", they regard it as the second form of this magic, and named it the "silver moon".

Felix heard this name one morning when he was eating breakfast in the auditorium, when he almost spewed porridge out of his mouth.

The fourth-grade Cormac McLagen ostentatiously said: "My uncle's patron saint has a second form, and I will never lie!" He touched his hard hair and talked loudly: "My father said it himself. , Uncle’s patron saint is a wild boar, but I saw it once when I was a child. It was obviously a long-eared rabbit. I was surprised...it turns out that this magic has two forms."

Felix looked at McLagen carefully. If his words hadn't been adulterated, his uncle must have had a tragic experience, and the whole person's temperament had changed drastically-only in this case would the patron saint change.

Some people keep asking where they can learn this spell. "What a cool magic!" Li Qiaodan shouted in the common room: "I mean, even if I can't be like Professor Haipu, I can at least protect myself."

But Flitwick poured cold water on them. Standing on a stack of large books, he emphasized more than once: "The patron saint curse is not within the scope of our exam. It is too high and deep, and many adult wizards cannot. Master, this magic requires powerful spiritual power..."

Flitwick did not intend to teach. Some little wizards turned their ideas into the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and the duel class. They were considered to be stubborn—according to the function of the course, these two courses taught students how to protect themselves.

On the night of the second Thursday in November, Felix was asked this question during the duel class.

"The patron saint?" Felix repeated.

"Yeah, Professor Haipu. This is the spell we need most right now, isn't it? Dementors are ready to attack us outside the school!" A fifth-grade Gryffindor shouted, his words quoted The little wizards in the audience nodded in agreement.

Felix laughed: "Lee Jordan, the dementors are guarding Hogwarts under the order of the Ministry of Magic. Their target is Azkaban's fugitive, Sirius Black."

"But Professor, what happened on the day of the Quidditch game has proved their unreliability. I wrote to my family. My mother wrote back and said that releasing the Dementors from Azkaban was the most important thing the Ministry of Magic did. Stupid decision!"

"Yeah, they can't control it at all."

"My aunt told me that even in Azkaban, Dementors had riots... some prisoners died." said Susan Bones of Hufflepuff, who saw Professor Haipu’s Looking over, he added: "My aunt is the director of the Law Enforcement Department."

Felix hesitated a bit. To be honest, he didn't think teaching the patron saint spells to the little wizards in the duel class was a good choice-the learning time was long and the difficulty was high. The most important thing was that it might not be effective.

If there is no one-on-one guidance, students like this kind of advanced spells are difficult to master. But if you really want him to teach it hand-in-hand, you can't give him ten time converters.

He looked at the two professors, Snape and Flitwick. "What's your opinion, Severus, Filius?"

Snape immediately showed a face of resistance, and he said coldly, "I don't know this spell."

Flitwick also expressed his views once again: "Felix, the patron saint curse is very complicated, and the function is too single, I don't think it can be used. Besides-Dumbledore has protested to the Ministry of Magic, Fudge promised. The ghost will never make the same mistake again."

Felix nodded, he knew it too. In fact, when a bunch of shrunken dementors returned, the Ministry of Magic had a lot of opinions, and some people wanted to send someone to investigate, but Dumbledore resolutely pushed them back.

Coupled with the fact that some irritable parents of students kept sending yelling letters to the Ministry of Magic and even Fudge himself, which caused them to be overwhelmed, the dementor's injury was no longer mentioned.

Felix put the matter on hold for the time being, but... he looked at Snape and the professor said that he didn't know how to protect the gods. Is this true?

Did the professor really go too deep into the realm of black magic, making it impossible to use the patron saint?

...

At dinner, he and Snape were sitting together and discussing the details of the next duel class. Felix commented: "Students have mastered several commonly used duel steps, and the next few lessons are best. Arrange for practice, Severus, I have an idea, maybe I can have a small duel match."

"Aren't you afraid of trouble, Felix?" Snape said.

"I intend to leave it to the Student Union. Percy Weasley and Penello Krivart are very capable. I trust them." Felix said.

Snape showed his usual mocking expression: "How true is in your trust? Felix, has anyone really walked into your heart?"

Felix laughed. "Oh, Severus, are you trying to call me hypocrisy? We are talking about ability. In this regard, I really trust Mr. Weasley and Miss Kriwatt. You mean What is it again?"

Snape stared at him blankly, and Felix deliberately gave a fake-looking smile.

At this moment, a voice was inserted into the silent communication between the two—

"Professor Snape, I just met Professor Flitwick, and he said you are in the auditorium." Lupin walked to the two of them and said happily. He changed into a new robe, and it seemed that Dumbledore had paid enough for his daily expenses.

"What's the matter, Lupin?" Snape's eyes narrowed. "I have finished all the potions I gave you? I still have some, a pot full of..."

Lupin smiled and said, "Not for now, Severus. I'm here because of another thing—"

Snape looked at him without a smile on his face.

Lu Ping said: "I am very grateful to you for helping me substitute lessons during my illness, but the third grade teaching is too radical, and it directly crosses most of the textbooks——"

"Werewolf..." Snape dragged the long tone, Lupin's hand trembled, and he covered it well, "...Is there anything wrong with this chapter?"

Lupin frowned slightly Severus. He has just learned Shinkpunk in the third grade. Most students don't have the corresponding foundation. I'm sorry, I decided to postpone the content of this part. "

Snape glanced at him contemptuously, "Let me say, Lupin, werewolves are too dangerous. It is very necessary for students to know how to recognize and kill werewolves as early as possible." He said softly. : "Maybe it will be used someday."

Lupin recovered calm: "Thank you for the reminder. I will teach according to the abilities of the little wizard. If there is nothing else, I will leave first, and there are still many things to do."

"Wait, Lupin."

"Is there anything else, Snape?" Lupin said in a deep voice.

"Let me introduce to you," Snape's eyes moved between Lupin and Felix. "As far as I know, Professor Lupin’s patron saint curse is extremely clever, maybe—Felix, you can invite him , As a temporary professor in the duel class."

Snape's eyes flickered, "As a professor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I must have the responsibility to show students how to deal with such dangerous dark creatures as dementors."
