Chapter 284 Advanced Patronus Charm
"To be honest, I really don't want to pretend to be an expert in teaching." Aberforth said as he took out four bottles of butterbeer from under the bar and placed them on the old counter.
After paying 8 Sickles, Albert scooped up four bottles of butter beer and distributed them to everyone.
Aberforth put Sickle in the wooden cash drawer and continued the topic just now, "The magic we use is not just in one way. The wizards have further improved the magic, allowing the magic to change according to the wishes of the caster. It belongs to a more advanced use of magic."
"Wizards usually call it advanced." Aberforth took a drag on his cigarette and leisurely puffed out a smoke ring, "Of course, the reason why magic is called advanced is because these changes belong to the higher level of magic. Many wizards don't know about the further application, and they can't even do it. Their appearance comes more from wizards' further exploration and research on magic."
"I know this, it's like this, right!" Albert raised his wand and used fluorescent flashes, a ball of light floated from the top of the wand, suspended above everyone's heads, and the originally dim Pig's Head Bar suddenly became brighter .
Aberforth couldn't help but widen his eyes, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but forgot that he was smoking just now, the smoke came out of his mouth, choking Aberforth coughing dryly again and again.
"Well, it counts!" Aberforth was amazed at Albert's magical talent, even if it was Albus, at this age, he probably couldn't do it to this level.
"Of course, the Patronus Charm is far more difficult than this, because the Patronus Charm itself is a profound magic, so advanced changes are naturally more difficult." Sitting on the creaky wooden chair across from him, he continued, "Many people believe that only those with pure hearts can summon Patronuses, but this is actually a fallacy. Many people with negative personality traits can also summon Patronuses. Summon the Patronus."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other, but Albert was not surprised. He still remembered that Professor Toad in the fifth part could also summon the Patronus.
"It seems that you know these things." Aberforth wondered if the man in front of him would become the next Albus in a few years.
"Yes, I know." Albert responded, signaling Aberforth to continue.
"In the process of casting the Patronus Charm, the caster needs to maintain self-confidence, focus all his thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment, and also need strong magical power as support, so that the spell will take effect." Abu Forth said, "You should have read what I wrote for you about the way to use the Advanced Patronus Charm."
"I've seen it, but I still don't understand it, let's explain it myself!"
Albert naturally read the things Aberforth wrote for himself, but he felt that those things were useless, or that the simple text description was too abstract.
"The will must be firm. Negative emotions will affect the release of the Patronus Charm. Many wizards will not be able to use the Patronus Charm when facing dementors." Aberforth raised a finger, "You need to learn how to Keep yourself happy."
"Most advanced magic requires strong magical power to support it, and the Patronus Charm is no exception. That's why they can't succeed now." Aberforth raised his second finger, and pointed to the one he was trying The three Freds of the Patronus Charm.
"Confidence is half the battle." Aberforth raised his third finger and said, "However, I don't think you lack this thing."
Even he could tell that the person in front of him was very confident and never thought he would fail.
Albert was speechless for a while after listening. He actually wanted to let Aberforth talk about the main points directly, but he held back in the end and didn't interrupt the other party's rhythm.
"If you want to learn the advanced Patronus Charm, you need to make yourself able to use the Patronus Charm easily." Aberforth seemed to sense that Albert was a little impatient, and continued, "When you use the Patronus Charm, you will There is a gesture of using the wand to draw a circle, which is the process of accumulating power for the spell, and then you need to say the spell "Calling God to Protect".
"In the process of accumulating energy, you need to repeat the content of the communication in your brain." Aberforth explained, "so usually the content of the communication is not too long."
Both the Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan could understand every word, but they couldn't understand what they were saying.
"Um!"
Albert probably understood what the other party meant.
"The Patronus Charm is used to send messages, and its own power is not too strong. It is usually difficult to maintain the form of the physical Patronus. It takes a long time of practice to summon the physical Patronus when sending messages. "
Albert nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Understood?" Aberforth sighed in his heart, what a formidable guy.
"Try it!" he said.
"You didn't finish, did you!" Albert said suddenly.
"I originally wanted to wait until you could reach that level before talking about the final steps." Aberforth didn't want to hide anything, and continued talking.
"The next step is to let the patron saint find the person you want to call. Through a fixed location, his principle is like Apparition, you need to know the exact location. The other is to find the person directly, which is a bit like a tracking spell, you will use Tracking spell? I think that part is a little too early for you now."
Albert frowned slightly, he really didn't know how to use tracking spells.
"I learned the tracking spell when I got back."
"Call for God's protection!" Albert recalled the good memories and the message he wanted to convey, and finally recited the spell, only a puff of silver gas emerged from the tip of the wand.
Without a doubt, it failed.
"Failure is a very normal thing. You need to practice a lot. No one can immediately master the advanced use of the Patronus after listening to the theory." Aberforth comforted casually.
"Thank you, Mr. Aberforth!" Albert took out a pen, and under Aberforth's astonished gaze, recorded the way the high-level patron saint was used.
Then, he greeted the three friends and left the Pig's Head Bar together.
"I hate the Hog's Head," grumbled George.
"That's really strange!" Lee Jordan drank the remaining butter beer in one go, and left with Albert.
"I think the Patronus Charm is hard to learn!"
Fred's wand spouted a pitifully thin gas.
"Your magic power is not enough. It took me a lot of time to learn it. Of course, it's another matter if you want to use it in front of dementors." Albert planned to take advantage of other students before they came to Hogsmeade. , back to Hogwarts.
"We want to go to Zuko's joke shop." Fred and George said in unison, "We're almost running out of **** eggs."
"I heard that Zuko has new products." Lee Jordan echoed.
"Okay, but I think we'd better hurry up!" Albert took out his pocket watch, shook it in front of the three of them, and said, "I don't want others to catch us wandering around Hogsmeade, lest they go Sue in front of the professor."
It turns out that Albert's words are all in vain.
As soon as the three of them entered Zuko's joke shop, they were attracted by the dazzling array of products inside. As a result, when they were about to return to Hogwarts, the streets of Hogsmeade were already full of students. The four of them had to use the Illusion Curse and made a big circle to avoid the passing students.
