Chapter 284 Advanced Patronus Charm
“To be honest, I really don’t want to pretend that I am an expert in teaching.” Aberforth said, taking out four bottles of butterbeer from under the bar and placing them on the old counter.
After Albert paid 8 Sickles, he took out four bottles of butterbeer and distributed them to everyone.
Aberforth put Sickle into the wooden money chest and continued the topic, "The magic we use is not just one way. The wizards have further improved the magic to make the magic change according to the wishes of the spell caster. It is a more advanced use of magic."
"Wizards usually call it advanced." Aberforth took a puff of cigarette and blew out a smoke ring leisurely. "Of course, the reason why magic is called advanced is because these changes are part of the improvement of magic. Many wizards don't know about further applications, and they can't even do it. Their appearance comes more from wizards' further exploration and research on magic."
"I know this, just like this, right!" Albert raised his wand and used fluorescent flash. A ball of light floated from the top of the wand and hovered above everyone's heads. The originally dark Pig's Head Bar suddenly became brighter. .
Aberforth couldn't help but widen his eyes, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he forgot that he was smoking just now, and the smoke came out of his mouth, choking Aberforth and coughing repeatedly.
"Well, that's right!" Aberforth was surprised at Albert's magical talent. Even Albus, at this age, could not achieve 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." Aberforth stopped smoking, walked out from behind the counter, and sat down on Albert Sitting on the creaking wooden chair opposite Te, he continued, "Many people believe that only those with pure hearts can summon the patron saint, but this is actually a fallacy. Many people with negative personality traits can also summon the patron saint. Summon the Patronus."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other, but Albert was not surprised. He still remembered that the toad professor in the fifth part could also summon the patron saint.
"It seems that you know these things." Aberforth was a little doubtful whether the man in front of him would become the next Albus in a few years.
“Yeah, I know.” Albert responded and motioned for Aberforth to continue.
"In the process of casting the Patron Saint Spell, the caster needs to remain confident, focus all his thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment, and 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 on how to use the Advanced Patronus Charm."
“I’ve read it, but I still don’t understand it. I’d better explain it myself!”
Albert had naturally read what Aberforth wrote to himself, but he felt that those things were useless, or that simple text descriptions were too abstract.
"The will must be strong. Negative emotions will affect the release of the Patronus Charm. Many wizards cannot use the Patronus Charm when facing dementors." Aberforth raised a finger, "You need to learn how to Keep yourself happy.”
"Most advanced magic requires powerful magical power as support, and the Patronus Charm is no exception. This is why they cannot succeed now." Aberforth raised a 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. “But I think you are not lacking this thing.”
Even he can see that the person in front of him is very confident and never thinks that he will fail.
Albert was speechless for a while after listening. He actually wanted to let Aberforth talk about the key points directly, but in the end he held back and did not interrupt the other person's rhythm.
"If you want to learn the advanced Patronus Charm, you need to make it easy for yourself to use the Patronus Charm." 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 drawing a circle with a wand, which is the process of accumulating power for the spell before the incantation "Calling the Guardian" needs to be recited.
“During the process of accumulating power, you need to repeat the content of the transmission in your brain.” Aberforth explained, “So the content of the transmission is usually not too long.”
Both the Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan could understand every word, but not what they were saying.
"Um!"
"The Patronus Charm is used to communicate messages, and its power is not very strong. It is usually difficult to maintain the form of a physical patronus. It takes a long period of practice to summon a physical patronus when communicating. "
Albert nodded, indicating that he understood.
“Understood?” Aberforth sighed in his heart, what a powerful guy.
“Try it!” he said.
“You haven’t finished speaking, right?” Albert said suddenly.
"I originally wanted to wait until you can reach that level before talking about the final steps." Aberforth did not want to hide it and continued to talk.
"The next step is to ask the patron saint to find the person you want to summon. Through a fixed position, he will appear like a phantom, and you need to know the exact location. The other way is to find the person directly, which is a bit similar to a tracking spell. You will use Tracking spell? I think this part is a little too early for you now."
Albert frowned slightly, he really didn't know how to use the tracking spell.
“I learned the tracking spell when I got back.”
“Call the Guardians!” Albert recalled the good memories and the message he wanted to deliver, and finally uttered the spell, and only a stream of silver gas came out from the top of the wand.
There is no doubt that it failed.
"Failure is normal. 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 his pen and recorded the use of the senior patron saint under Aberforth's stunned gaze.
Then, he called his three friends and left the Pig Head Bar together.
“I hate the Hog’s Head,” George muttered.
“That’s really strange!” Lee Jordan drank the rest of the butterbeer in one go and left with Albert.
“I think the Patronus Charm is difficult to learn!”
Fred's wand emitted a pitifully thin stream of gas.
"Your magic power is not enough. It took me a lot of time to learn it. Of course, if you want to use it in front of the dementors, it is another matter." Albert prepared to take advantage of other students to come to Hogsmeade. , return to Hogwarts.
“We want to go to Zuko’s Joke Shop,” Fred and George said in unison. “We’re almost out of dung eggs.”
“I heard that Joko has new products.” Lee Jordan agreed.
"Okay, but I think we'd better hurry up!" Albert took out his pocket watch, waved it in front of the three of them and said, "I don't want others to catch us wandering around Hogsmeade, lest they go Complain in front of the professor."
Actually, it turns out that Albert’s words were all in vain.
As soon as the three of them entered Zuko's joke shop, their attention was attracted by the dazzling array of products. 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 Charm and make a large circle to avoid the students coming and going.
