Chapter 203 Then Come On?
Chapter 204 Then come on?
Professor Flitwick motioned to Zhang Xiao to follow him, and the two of them walked towards the office.
"Zhang, do you know the history of the Patronus Charm?"
Flitwick was sitting on the auspicious cloud and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"History?" Zhang Xiao thought for a while. He didn't know much about the Patronus Curse. He only knew that it was a special attack on Dementors.
"Maybe someone used the Patronus Charm a long time ago?"
Flitwick nodded: "We can tell from the ancient woodblock prints and scrolls.
The Patronus Charm has been used since ancient times.
We don't know who invented it or what exactly it came about.
But this spell holds a special place - it has long been associated with wizards who fight for noble causes. "
Zhang Xiao listened quietly. Professor Flitwick would not say anything irrelevant. Maybe the secret of the Patronus Curse was in it.
"This statement is actually quite biased. At least I know one guy who is a complete bad guy, but he can also use the Patronus Charm."
The silver Patronus flew above Flitwick's head like a loyal guard.
"Why do people think that only the noble can release the Patronus?" Flitwick asked again.
Zhang Xiao was silent for a while and said uncertainly:
"Because releasing the patron saint requires strong happy memories and a very upward mental state?"
"Hahahaha" Flitwick smiled happily: "You summarized it very concretely, Zhang."
The office door opened automatically, and Flitwick used his wand to pull out a chair and small coffee table, inviting Zhang Xiao to sit down.
"Zhang, I have explored the origin of the patron saint, and I am also very interested in the unique shape of the patron saint.
Why do most of the guardian angels appear to be animals? Why can they form magical physical guardian angels? "
Flitwick held the small pocket teacup, looked up at his patron saint, and said leisurely:
"Because the patron saint is always here with us."
He tapped his chest:
"Happy memories are just part of the Patronus, just like the silver smoke you exhaled when you cast the Patronus Charm before.
Those are your happy memories. "
Zhang Xiao frowned, trying hard to digest Flitwick's words. Does the professor mean that happy memories are just the foundation?
Just the necessary things to form a patron saint, but not everything?
"So if you want to form a physical guardian angel, you still lack one thing, and that is to understand your heart and find what you really want to protect."
Flitwick pointed to the flying Patronus:
"Just like this patronus, I want to protect the wind and eagle of Hogwarts and the tower of Ravenclaw."
He smiled and gave his final summary, which to be honest was quite abstract.
But magic, abstraction is not surprising.
Zhang Xiao took Professor Flitwick's words to heart and politely thanked Professor Flitwick and said goodbye.
In the abandoned large classroom, the members of the duel club were seriously practicing some dueling techniques.
It can only be said that the previous battle was quite stimulating to the little wizard. Even Qiu, Parkinson and others who were just practicing normally are now much more serious.
Neville's family of three has already gone to Longhu Mountain because Alice and Frank's situation is quite special.
Neither apparation nor door movement can be used, and even airplanes cannot be used.
Only the most common mode of transportation - ferry.
It is probably still floating in the ocean.
After Cedric corrected Davis' gesture, he temporarily stopped teaching and came over and asked happily:
"Zhang, many Hufflepuff classmates have come to me recently, and they are very interested in dueling clubs.
Want to get involved. "
Hearing what Cedric said, several other people also crowded over.
Harry and Ron counted on their fingers together:
"Simo, many classmates also said the same, and they all expressed their intention to participate."
Hermione responded with concern:
“I can totally understand them, if there is such a club with such high skills and where you can learn real skills, and I happen to not be able to participate - it’s really scary!
I would feel like I failed the exam! "
Everyone looked at her with horrified eyes, obviously shocked by the top student's train of thought.
Malfoy finally suppressed his desire to say something:
"Slytherin too."
Cho nodded, and apparently so did Ravenclaw.
Zhang Xiao pondered for a moment, then shook his head and decided to follow the previous plan:
“No, many people just do it on a whim and can’t stick to it for a long time like everyone.
And the reason why I set it up as a small club is because it has just the right number of people and everyone can be taken care of.
If there are many people, my current method may not be suitable, and I have to readjust it according to the number of people. If the effect is not good, let’s talk about it. And it comes back to the problem - many people can’t stick to it. "
Everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.
“But if they really want to learn, you can go back and hold similar activities within the academy.
Re-teaching the little wizards what they have learned here, the process of becoming a teacher is also an exercise for everyone. "
After the problem was solved, everyone wanted to leave. Zhang Xiao picked up the wand and prepared to think about the Patronus Charm.
"Zhang, I saw you were using a relatively rare wand-waving posture before. Is it some kind of unique spell?"
Cedric did not leave, but asked curiously.
The little wizards who had just dispersed gathered around again, their eyes sparkling.
Apart from anything else, these little wizards are definitely talented in gossip and gossip.
But there is nothing to hide:
"I am practicing the Patronus Charm."
"The Patronus Charm? Man, this is a very advanced and difficult spell!"
Ron said with wide eyes in surprise.
"Yes, my dad doesn't even know this, and he still says he is an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts!"
Qiu covered her mouth with her little hand, and her eyes like water also revealed surprise.
The status of the Patronus Charm is quite high in the eyes of wizards, and can even be regarded as the 'Avada Kedavra' in positive magic.
Malfoy, who was standing next to Zhang Xiao, frowned and carefully recalled whether his father knew the Patronus Charm, trying to find some evidence.
In the end, he could only admit frustratedly that his father didn't know it either.
But it doesn't matter! Malfoy clenched his hands behind his back into fists. If Zhang knows it, then he knows it too!
He will definitely teach me!
Davis and Harry did not know the wizarding world as well as Ron and Malfoy did. At this moment, they were pulling Hermione to listen to her popular science in a low voice.
Cedric immediately asked with interest:
"How is it? Any progress?"
Zhang Xiao directly pulled out the wand and waved it vigorously above his head, while whispering:
"Ex~pecto——Patronum!"
A dreamy silver smoke gushed out from the tip of the wand, and was pulled into a silver 'ribbon' with the movement of the wand.
Like a light starlight cloak, it covered Zhang Xiao's surroundings, as if the starlight was shining on him.
"Cool!"
Everyone's eyes reflected a little silver light, as if the eyes themselves were glowing.
Zhang Xiao sighed. It was indeed a little richer than before, but Flitwick's words were too general and abstract.
To describe it with what Professor McGonagall often said:
"As long as you practice enough, there will always be a moment when you will suddenly wake up and exclaim, "So that's how it is." That is an indescribable feeling."
Cedric clapped his hands and said seriously:
"Zhang, you can be said to have learned the Patronus Charm. At least most people don't even have mist.
Or do you want to have a physical Patronus?"
Harry and Davis, who had just roughly understood what a Patronus was, immediately lowered their heads to ask Hermione what a physical Patronus was.
"If you want to master this spell, you must have a physical Patronus."
Zhang Xiao dispersed the silver smoke.
"It's like your personality!" Cedric thought for a while, took the notepad, and wrote as he said:
"I was also interested in the Patronus Charm, but after trying it once or twice, I found that I might not be able to master it at my current level, so I gave up temporarily.
But I still remember some books, I hope they can help you.
"The Magical Patronus"
"The Great Magic"
"The Origin of Ancient Magic"
"
Cedric wrote five or six books and handed over the parchment:
"That's about all I remember, keep going!"
After Zhang Xiao thanked him, he immediately turned his eyes to Hermione. The little witch was really ready. Just like reading the names of dishes, her rosy little mouth spit out a lot of book titles in an instant.
"Some books mention it, and some books are hard for me to understand, but they all improve the release of the physical guardian.
"My Magic Notes" Chapter 4, Chapter 7.
"Amazing Magic" Chapter 1 is all
"Magic, Me, Wand" Chapter 5, the end
"
Zhang Xiao's scalp tingled when he heard it. He waited until she finished reporting the book titles and counted them. There were more than 20 books!
Even so, she still felt unsatisfied and said regretfully:
"Some others only mentioned a sentence or a short paragraph. I don't think they may be of much use to you, so I didn't mention them.
Do you want to add them?"
"No, thank you!"
"Then keep going?"

The second chapter is still a few hundred words short. It's too late. I'll update it first
