Chapter 695: getting Started
At eight o'clock in the evening, Albert and his roommates arranged to practice the patron saint in the dormitory.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Albert opened the door and saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron standing outside, asking suspiciously, "Something?"
"I told Harry that we are going to practice the Patronus Charm tonight." Fred winked at Albert and explained: "You know, the Dementors have a great influence on Harry. He hopes to Here you learn... well, how to drive away and resist dementors."
As for Ron and Hermione, they obviously made up the numbers.
Albert glared at Fred fiercely, glanced across the crowded room, and then at the three people outside.
Hermione also noticed that Albert was unaware of their arrival, and quickly said: "Can you teach us to drive away the dementor spell."
"You should go to Professor Lupin, not to me." Albert frowned and said.
"Can't it?"
"Well, since you are all here, then come in!"
There were three more people in the small dormitory, and it became more crowded.
All three of Harry sat on the edge of the bed, like well-behaved students preparing to listen to the professor's lecture.
"The spell that can expel the dementors is called the patron saint curse." Albert began to teach the three of Harry some knowledge of the patron saint. "This is a kind of advanced magic. The premise of using the patron saint curse is that you have a strong magic power. This is also a common problem with most advanced magic. If your own magic power is not strong enough, you will not be able to fully exert the effect of the patron saint curse. "
After Albert finished speaking, he asked Fred to show them the effect of the patron saint without giving them time to ask questions.
"Cough cough, look good!" Fred raised his wand in full view, cleared his throat and said: "Call God to protect!"
Everyone can see a puff of silver gas spraying from the tip of Fred's wand.
"This is the patron saint?" Harry couldn't help blinking, feeling that the effect of the patron saint spell was different from what he thought.
"That's the prototype of the patron saint. The effect is minimal. It can't drive away the dementors. You can basically ignore it." Albert glanced at Fred and continued: "The spell you just heard: call the gods to protect!"
"Call God to protect, call God to protect, call God to protect."
The three of them were repeating the spell in a low voice, seeming to want to keep the spell in their minds.
Albert waited for the three of them to calm down before continuing to say: "When using the patron saint spell, you need to concentrate, remember the happiest thing in your heart, and say ‘hushen guard’. This is how you swing your stick."
He used his wand to draw a circle so that the three Harry could see the wand movement of the Patronus Charm.
"Well, try it yourself!"
"Huh... guard."
"Call God to guard."
Hermione corrected, and a few thin wisps of silver smoke rose from the tip of her wand.
"I succeeded."
"Call God to guard."
After spraying a thin stream of silver gas from the end of the wand, Harry jumped up from the bed excitedly and said loudly, "I succeeded, succeeded!"
"Why is it only me who didn't succeed?" Ron saw that his little friends succeeded, but his wand did not respond, and he was immediately depressed.
"That's because your wand is swinging in the opposite direction, my stupid brother." Fred reminded him with his hand covering his face.
"You're an idiot," Ron said angrily.
Then he tried again, and it soon succeeded.
"Okay, you have all successfully used the patron saint curse. Then you just need to continue practicing the spell until you can summon a complete form of the patron saint, and then you have mastered it. Well, the so-called patron saint of flesh is usually an animal The form of the patron saint is different for everyone."
"That's it?" Ron looked at Fred suspiciously, and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
"Only when the patron saint who really summons the body is truly successful in mastering the patron saint curse." George explained to the three for Fred, "As for our present kind of intangible patron saint, that is what Albert said. The prototype of the patron saint, a cloud of silvery white gas or smoke, has no specific shape."
"In Albert's words, I can blow your spells away even with my breath." Fred said, blowing a breath at Ron's wand, really blowing away a thin wisp of silver gas. .
"I don't remember that I said that." Albert curled his lips and said, "What you need now is to spend a lot of time practicing spells. Of course, I can't guarantee that you will be able to summon the patron saint of flesh."
"Not necessarily able to learn?" Ron asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Under normal circumstances, even if you graduate in seventh grade, you won't necessarily be exposed to this spell." Albert explained calmly: "Also, even if there is really no way to summon the patron saint of flesh, it is not a shameful thing. Facts. On the above, most wizards in the magical world cannot summon the patron saint of flesh, otherwise the successful summoning of the patron saint of flesh will not be regarded by many as a sign of superb mana."
"Well, although I think this statement is pure nonsense."
"No, this spell is too difficult." Hermione was a little discouraged. This was the first time she had learned such a profound spell, and it was a bit shocking.
Harry tried again and found that he only summoned a very faint mist, he couldn't help asking, "Albert, how long did it take you to successfully summon the patron saint of flesh?"
"Probably... half a year!"
"so long."
Ron thought that Albert's talent could be mastered in a few weeks at most.
"Oh! I don't admit that you are a stupid." Fred gave you a stupid expression.
"You'd better not take Albert as a role model. That guy is always just a maverick. We have been learning from him for several years, but we haven't succeeded in summoning the patron saint of flesh." Lee, who was teasing Tom over there. Jordan guessed the three people's ideas, so they were vaccinated in advance.
"What is Albert's patron saint?" Hermione asked curiously.
"The lion body eagle head beast." Fred replied.
"What about you?" Ron glared at Fred dissatisfiedly.
"Magpie!" the two said in unison, "Lee Jordan is a gorilla."
"To shut up."
"Aren't you unable to summon the patron saint of the flesh?" Hermione immediately realized the problem.
"Albert said, we trust his judgment." Fred and George both looked like you wanted to believe Albert.
"Have you predicted it?"
"No, it's just a guess. The shape of the patron saint varies from person to person, and it is generally related to personality and heart." Albert casually explained, "Well, I will give you a final summary:
First: The patron saint requires a very powerful magic power as a foundation. If you want to succeed, you need to practice regularly, which can also better exercise your magical power.
Second: Don't hold on to the idea that everyone cannot succeed, and I probably cannot succeed, otherwise you may never succeed. In my opinion, as long as the magic power is not too bad, and the wizard who is willing to train hard, generally can successfully summon the patron saint of flesh.
Third: When casting a spell, try to recall the happiest memory you can think of. Generally, the stronger the joy brought by the memory, the stronger the patron saint. When training the patron saint spell, you can try to start from this aspect.
Fourth, the will to cast a spell must be firm enough, and you need to concentrate enough. Because being able to summon the patron saint in a brightly lit place does not mean that you can successfully summon the patron saint when facing a dementor. Those are two different concepts. The dementor will **** the happiness in your mind. Memories, it will be difficult for you to recall happy memories. Some people cannot summon a patron saint when facing a dementor for this reason.
"Any other questions?" Albert asked.
"Can you show us your patron saint!" Hermione pleaded.
"Okay!" Albert raised his wand and summoned his patron saint to satisfy the wishes of several people.
The patron saint of silver lion eagle head flew around the dormitory and disappeared.
"It's so cool!" Ron couldn't help but his eyes widened. "I don't know what my patron saint is?"
"The premise is that you can successfully summon the patron saint of the flesh." Fred cruelly shattered Ron's fantasy, "I don't think the chance is big."
"Potter, If you really want to master the Patronus Curse, I suggest you go to Professor Lupin." Albert stopped Harry who wanted to talk, and continued, "Even if you are here. Successfully summoned the patron saint of the flesh, it is also difficult to rely on him to resist the dementors."
"why?"
"Those who have had a bad experience are easily affected by the dementors and become vulnerable." Albert looked into Harry's eyes and said, "If you want to overcome the dementors' influence on yourself, you You need to face them bravely."
"Face the dementor?" Hermione couldn't believe what she heard.
"This is definitely the craziest thing I've ever heard." Ron murmured.
"Idiot, listen to Albert finish."
None of the three felt that Albert would suggest Harry to face the Dementor.
"Professor Lupin can definitely help you find a similar substitute. He is a professor of defense against the dark arts. He has more say in this field than me. Do you understand what I mean? Don't be embarrassed. I think Professor Lupin will be very He is happy to help you. He is a good friend of your father. If you don't believe it, you can ask Hagrid."
