Chapter 352 Guardian

"Minerva~"

●ω●

Fish and Harry arrived at the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall happened to be there at this time, and the little cat immediately pounced on him.

"Why are you two so early today?"

There was a Quidditch match yesterday, so it was understandable that the lazy cat got up early. What happened today?

Professor McGonagall was a little confused.

"Fish wants to learn how to make a cat from Minerva soon, and Harry said he also wants to learn how to make a cat."

(●ω●)

The kitten played coquettishly in Professor McGonagall's arms for a while, then pointed at Harry who was laughing behind her and said.

"Potter?" Professor McGonagall glanced at the embarrassed Harry and nodded thoughtfully, "I see, I understand."

She patted Fei Xu on the head and said, "Eat breakfast first, and I will teach you after you finish."

"Great!"

(●≧≦●)

Fish quickly sat down next to Professor McGonagall, and the breakfast prepared by Comey immediately appeared in front of him.

Harry, who was not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he also thought that Professor McGonagall was unlikely to reject him, he still had to confirm it before he could feel relieved.

Harry came to sit down at the long Gryffindor table and, like Fish, ate breakfast quickly.

Both young wizards finished the breakfast in front of them as quickly as possible, even a little faster than Professor McGonagall who had started eating early.

"let's go."

After finishing breakfast, Professor McGonagall wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, stood up, and said to Harry and Fish, who were already impatient.

She took the two of them to the Transfiguration classroom, which was empty when there were no classes on Sunday.

After all three of them entered the classroom, Professor McGonagall locked the door behind her back and stood directly on the podium that she was very familiar with. Harry and Fish sat in the first row of seats, just like they usually did. Like in class.

"Before I teach you the Patronus Charm, I need to explain to you clearly what the Patronus Charm is."

After entering the teaching mode, Professor McGonagall returned to her stern look, causing Harry sitting below to sit upright.

"The Patronus Charm is one of the most powerful and ancient defensive spells..."

She first told Harry what she had said to Fish yesterday, and then said in more depth: "The Patronus is a positive force, an external manifestation of the things that Dementors rely on for their survival. ——Hope, happiness, desire to survive...but it doesn’t feel despair like a real person, so the dementors can’t do anything to it.”

Professor McGonagall explained why the Patronus Charm could defeat Dementors, and then she changed the topic.

"Of course, if you want to truly defeat the dementors, you must summon a complete patron saint. However, many skilled wizards have not been able to master this. Most of them can only summon a vague shadow... However, this cannot For you to defeat the dementors, the best you can do is to block them a little."

"I'll demonstrate it to you first." She took out her wand and said, "Call the gods to protect you!"

The silver-white kitten appeared again, flew around Professor McGonagall, and then landed firmly on the podium.

When he saw that Professor McGonagall's so-called Patronus Charm only turned out a silver-white kitten, Harry actually had doubts. He couldn't imagine how such a kitten could do it. Defeat the dementors...

Oh no, he could still imagine it.

If this kitten were replaced by Fish, fighting a Dementor shouldn't be a problem, but the problem is...

This is not Fish. In terms of appearance, it looks more like Professor McGonagall’s Animagus. After all, Fish’s cat form is younger.

"The power of a patron saint has never been about size."

Professor McGonagall was keenly aware of Harry's suspicion. She was not angry, but explained patiently: "It represents a wizard's most beautiful positive emotions, so it is particularly effective when fighting against evil forces."

In order to prove his statement, Professor McGonagall also cited a relatively famous example in the wizarding world.

There once was a wizard named Ilius. His patron saint was a mouse, and he had always been laughed at by his fellow villagers. Until one day, a dark wizard named Larch Dean led an army of dementors to invade their village.

At first, the patron saints of other villagers (including bears, wolves, wild boars, etc.) were able to withstand the attack of the dementor army, but they were soon outnumbered. The patronus grows weaker, and the caster either collapses or scatters.

At this moment, the rat Patronus summoned by Ilius emitted a dazzling light and defeated all the Dementors, forcing the dark wizard Rachidian to go into battle himself, and he also used the Patronus Charm... …

Maggots were fired from Larch Dean's wand and soon devoured his body.

"...So, dark wizards with too evil minds cannot summon the Patronus, and will be counterattacked by this spell." Professor McGonagall talked to Fish and Harry: "And Simborcia... Lore, her patron saint is a ladybug, but she is also very powerful.”

"Minerva, so the smaller the patronus is, the better?"

ω

Fish asked curiously.

"Of course not," Professor McGonagall shook her head with a smile and continued to explain: "What I mean is that the power of patron saints is not directly related to their size."

After she paused for a moment, she added: "And before your patron saints are actually summoned, no one knows what they look like. Although some people have summed up a set of incomplete rules, there are also situations that do not conform to them. No, there are even records of wizards changing the form of their patron saint after experiencing certain things.”

In order to let Fei learn some knowledge, Professor McGonagall went to the library yesterday to check some information and found a lot of unpopular knowledge related to the Patronus Charm.

After telling Fish and Harry all this additional knowledge, Professor McGonagall finally got to the point.

"Actually, the Patronus Charm itself is not difficult to learn." She said: "Compared with other spells, its wand movements are not complicated, and there are not many changes in the pronunciation of the spell. The difficulty of practicing it is , how do you find the positive emotions that suit you best and infuse them into this spell.”

"You must focus all your thoughts on a particularly happy or proud moment for this spell to take effect." Professor McGonagall lifted his patronus and raised his wand again, "Otherwise, it will Something like this will happen...call for divine protection!"

She once again shouted the Patronus Charm, and the tip of the staff once again sprayed out a cloud of silvery mist. Only this time, when the mist came together, it did not turn into a cat, but looked like a cat. Like a small cloud, it floated in front of Professor McGonagall.

"Then, come and try."

Professor McGonagall dispelled the vague Patronus and said to Fish and Harry.

Fish, who had long been unable to hold himself back, took out his grapevine wand and jumped to the open space between the podium and the desks.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

(●ΦωΦ●)つ━☆*.

As Professor McGonagall said, it is not difficult to cast the Patronus Charm. It is just a matter of drawing a few circles with the wand, and the spell is also very simple.

To be precise, many ancient spells are like this. As long as the spell is correct, gestures and other trivial matters are irrelevant. They focus more on the spiritual power when casting the spell...such as the positive emotions required for the Patronus Charm.

Positive emotions are so simple for Fish. You know, a cat is a creature that can have great fun chasing its own tail.

So Fish just tried it for the first time, and the spell took effect. A large cloud of silver-white mist spurted out from the tip of his staff, covering himself, Professor McGonagall on the podium, and Harry sitting in the first row. Lidu was enveloped in it.

This exaggerated amount of light mist gradually calmed down after surging for a while.

"Meow?"

ω

Fisch blinked in confusion.

He could feel the existence of this cloud, and Fei could clearly realize that he could manipulate it to move around at will, and he could also control the Professor McGonagall and Harry Potter it would envelop. "Push out".

only……

"Minerva, what's going on with Fish's patronus?"

(●ω●)

Fish controlled this large "cloud" to rise above the classroom, revealing the three figures again, and then looked at Professor McGonagall who was also confused.
