Chapter 145 143. The Patronus Curse and the Shadowless God's Front
Jon is very interested in the Patronus Charm, an advanced defense technique.
This spell seems to have a lot of limitations, it can only pose a greater threat to creatures such as dementors, and it cannot completely kill them, but in fact, in most battle scenes, the patron saint can provide wizards with great benefits. s help.
It is not just an illusory individual, but a real creature condensed by positive emotions.
And in future battles, Dementors will definitely stand firmly on Voldemort's side. The sooner he learns this spell, the better.
Lupine didn't resist teaching Jon to learn the Patronus Charm. He was just a little surprised that Jon had to learn such an advanced defense technique when he was only in the third grade.
But he also knew that the boy in front of him was far superior in talent and intelligence to his peers, so he didn't refuse. Since the beginning of the summer vacation, he took time to let Jon come to his office to teach him about the Patronus Charm.
Lupine's teaching ability is not bad at all, let alone the Patronus Charm is his specialty.
During the three years of lurking in Azkaban, he taught those imprisoned there, and more than thirty wizards successfully summoned their own patron saints, and finally they were able to escape successfully.
So on this spell, he has a strict teaching system.
"Actually, if there is a dementor who can cooperate with our teaching, and experience that feeling for yourself, your speed of learning this spell should improve very quickly." Lupine's always pale face looked very serious. , he has always been like this when he was teaching, "However, we are not in a desperate situation now, and we don't need to be so anxious to catch up with the progress."
"Come on, give me a demonstration, Jon, and let me see how well you have practiced this spell during this week."
Jon drew out his wand, and according to Lupine's words, he cast the Patronus Charm.
"Call God for protection."
Swinging the staff and chanting mantras, all in one go, it can be seen that he has practiced frequently.
But there was only a shallow silver thread emerging from the tip of his staff, and there was no more reaction. However, Lupine already had a surprised expression on his face, and he praised.
"It's a very standard casting action, and the pronunciation is also accurate."
Jon frowned at this, staring at the wand in his hand.
"Then why doesn't the spell work?"
Jon thought: "How can I make the emotion stronger?"
"You need to judge for yourself." Lupine looked at Jon seriously, "You need to understand what your own real happiness is. There are many things that can make people happy, but because every Individual circumstances are different, and the requirements for this emotion of happiness are also different."
"For example, when I taught the patron saint spell to adult wizards in Azkaban, their happiness at that time was very simple, that is, the days before they came to Azkaban Island. Every day before being imprisoned was very important to the people at that time They are all extremely happy, because the despair brought to them by the dementors will be unforgettable for a lifetime. That's why I said that with the teaching assistance of the dementors, learning the Patronus Charm will be more effective with half the effort."
"But you don't have such conditions now, so you have to try it yourself to find out what really makes you happy and happy. This is the difficulty of learning the Patronus Charm, Jon, because human feelings are not easy to be manipulated." Perceived, especially with regard to your own emotions, it is difficult for you to judge how happy you are, and which thing makes you truly condense hope and joy."
Jon can understand what Lupin said. The Patronus Charm is a typical spell that only looks at the wizard himself. Dark wizards with evil and dark hearts cannot learn this spell, because the source of their happiness and joy is itself dark.
The emotions that take pleasure in killing, torturing, and persecuting cannot summon the purest patron saint.
This is not just relying on talent to learn magic. It mainly depends on Jon's own understanding of himself, and when he can figure out what he is really happy about.
This matter is not easy, at least Jon has made a lot of attempts.
He recalled how he felt when he was just admitted to university in his previous life, and also tried the feeling of learning Occlumency and Ring Magic with Slughorn, but all had little effect, let alone the Patronus, from his wand There are only three or four faint streaks of silver emerging from the tip.
However, although he didn't make much progress in learning the Patronus Charm, Jon made rapid progress in another spell, Shenfeng Wuying.
He has practiced this spell for nearly half a month. Jon used an old school desk to experiment. The sharp edge he used was enough to leave a half-centimeter deep engraving on the wooden table. If this mark is placed on a key part of the human body, it will be enough to cause a fatal injury.
There is no way to see the effect of the forgetting spell intuitively. This kind of spell cannot be used on people at will, and Jon has no way to test how far he has practiced. However, when he releases it on the experimental frog, it can make the dumbfounded frog The frog has a memory disorder and thinks he is a fish, lying on the ground with four legs and fluttering.
The time of summer vacation gradually passed by like this.
There was still no accident on the carriage, as if the speculations that Dumbledore had told Jon before were all his imagination.
After entering August, the two professors in Hogwarts, Lily and McGonagall, who are usually responsible for receiving new students, left the castle, and went to find 11-year-old children of all ages with magical talents.
Their targets are only those Muggle-born students, and mixed-race and pure-blood students, unless they are the kind of family whose parents know everything, they will not take the initiative to contact them.
Since Dumbledore was able to let Jon sneak into the castle, then Voldemort must also be able to think of letting children of the right age into the carriage.
This year, Lily and McGonagall's recruitment of students has become very smooth. Without the book of admission and the pen of acceptance, it is not easy for Hogwarts Castle to even identify whether children of the right age from wizarding families have magical talents. , not to mention looking for a needle in a haystack among Muggle children.
The achievements Jon risked his life last year are being reflected bit by bit on the carriage.
