Chapter 207 Zhang Xiao's Guardian (3 Chapters in 1)

Chapter 208 Zhang Xiao’s Patron Saint (3 in 1 large chapter)

Why not draw the bones first?

Zhang Xiao recalled Ms. Glove’s notes:

I use beauty as the skeleton, hope as the flesh and blood, inject happiness into it, paint it with color, and want to make a painting.

He considered many possibilities and believed that beauty, hope, and happiness were the necessary conditions to constitute a physical guardian angel.

But I never considered that maybe Ms. Glove was actually describing painting.

"Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Malfoy stared at Zhang Xiao in surprise and asked curiously.

Zhang Xiao came back to his senses: "Nothing, Draco, please continue, what else is there?"

"Oh, my teacher also said that there is a very special way of painting. First use white to paint the bones, then use other colors to paint the flesh, and finally paint the skin."

Harry also listened with his head stretched out. He had to admit that Draco Malfoy had indeed received an excellent education, unlike himself.

Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were reluctant to spend a fortune to let him learn some hobbies.

Zhang Xiao wrote down what Malfoy said, and there seemed to be light in his eyes. He didn't need to learn this drawing method, as long as he had a certain understanding.

After Malfoy finished speaking, he closed his eyes and let out a long breath:

"I think I know what to try. Thanks, Draco."

The little wizards seem to find that Zhang can be seen everywhere. Except for class, he is always painting quietly on the drawing board.

Lakeside, towers, corridors, lawns, gardens.

Sometimes the paintings are people, sometimes they are animals.

Only a few people in the Duel Club knew what Zhang was doing, and they were all looking forward to it, as long as Zhang could learn the Patronus Charm and follow his style.

People in the Duel Club learn quickly.

That's the Patronus Charm! Still a physical guardian angel! Even their parents don't know how to do it, so they are all waiting eagerly for that silver brilliance to light up.

Waiting for Zhang Zai to create a miracle and master the physical guardian spirit in the second grade.

"The most noble young master, is this enough for the rain?"

Yu Yu sat on a small chair by the black lake, shaking his short legs a little uneasily.

"Well, just sit still." Zhang Xiao stuffed a fishing rod into its hand: "Just think of yourself as fishing, so it won't be boring."

"Fishing?" Yuyu made a high-pitched and excited voice: "This is something only gentlemen can do. Can Yuyu also fish?"

Zhang Xiao was amused by it and placed a small fish basket next to it:

"Of course, Rainwater, you are a free elf. Even in the future, our relationship is just an employment relationship. You also have your own life outside of work."

Rainwater, who almost cried with excitement, threw himself into fishing for the first time in his life with high spirits.

It is so focused, its long ears are shaking gently, and its bright eyes the size of tennis balls are staring at the float closely with expectation.

The rain at this time reveals the purest happiness from the inside out.

Zhang Xiao set up a drawing board and used the rain as a model to prepare for painting.

He used lines to outline the outlines of the bones, and soon he leaned forward, stretched his head and looked at the skeleton in the distance, and it suddenly appeared on the paper.

Then began to use messy and different lengths of lines to describe the shape.

Zhang Xiao carefully observed Yu Yu's expression and movements. He was a little nervous now because it was his first time fishing, so he held the fishing rod tightly with both hands.

I didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing every moment of the fish's float.

Suddenly, the rainwater moved, and the muscles of its arm suddenly tightened and pulled up suddenly. With the sound of water, a small fish hung on the hook and swung its tail in the air.

The rain jumped up, and two snot bubbles popped up happily:

"Fish! There is a fish! I caught it! Master, there is a fish caught in the rain!"

In Zhang Xiao's eyes, the colors around the rain were extremely bright, and its happiness seemed to spread to the surroundings. This was an extremely pure happiness without any impurities.

The paintbrush in his hand stopped in the air.

I regard beauty as a skeleton.

Use hope as flesh and blood.

Inject joy into it.

Apply colors to create a painting.

I seem to understand.

Zhang Xiao closed his eyes slightly and came to the thinking cabin.

He walked past the rows of bookshelves, brushed his fingers over the thick spines, stopped in front of a book, and pulled the book out with a little force.

The locked bookcase in the center was opened, and the distortion range of the sealed book was much smaller, and the words on the cover could even be faintly seen.

Zhang Xiao took the book and walked to the empty space by the window, and sat down straight up in the air.

A soft sofa was created invisibly, quickly turning from lines into a physical object, with its elastic seat cushions dented.

Zhang Xiao leaned back on the chair and stared at the book in his hand.

This book is "Home", which is the book that was condensed into the home of my previous life when I first condensed my thoughts into the cabin.

"Wow!"

A series of books on the bookcase flew over in a line like birds, and were arranged in front of Zhang Xiao like tarot cards.

Following Zhang Xiao's movements, dozens of books opened their pages at the same time, rummaging through them at extremely fast speeds like a money counter.

There was a pause from time to time, and then a page of content was projected in front of Zhang Xiao in the form of a picture. It was his memory, many of which he could no longer remember clearly.

But it was faithfully preserved, recorded, and waited by the subconscious.

Eat the candy I want, go on a spring outing, and talk to the girl I like.

Go out to play with my parents.

Look at the blue sky and white clouds without haze, and listen to the songs I like.

Read a great novel.

My mother called and said that the cactus she has raised for many years has bloomed again.

Played with good friends and won all afternoon. We went to eat barbecue, which was delicious.

Dad's physical examination was fine.

It was a rainy day, no need to go to work, no one disturbed me, and I had a good sleep.

The following memories seemed to have temperature, like warm sunshine.

That was a memory engraved in his heart and could not be erased.

He opened the book called home.

Slowly read it.

It was not just the home of the previous life, but also the warmth and love given by Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu in this life.

I took beauty as the skeleton.

Zhang Xiao waved his hand, and a series of pictures overlapped rapidly, connecting into a long dragon with fluorescence.

Use hope as flesh and blood.

Those expectations and yearnings for a better life in the future surrounded me.

Inject happiness into it.

The countless tiny but real happiness gathered here like fireflies all over the sky.

Apply colors and want to make a painting.

So that's it

In reality, Zhang Xiao opened his eyes, and the sun was half-hidden and half-hidden on the horizon, reluctant to leave, and the communication line between morning and evening was moving slowly.

Maybe it won't be long before night falls, and the stars can't wait to show their light.

In the towering castle, windows lit up one after another.

The water surface was sparkling, and the rain was still immersed in the joy of fishing. It caught a lot of fish, and the small fish basket was almost full.

So that's it.

The corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth suddenly curled up, revealing a smile. He raised the magic wand over his head and slowly drew circles.

"Call God. Guard!"

A silver-white glow like moonlight bloomed from the tip of the magic wand, and then something seemed to be brewing in it, and the light was flowing.

It seemed that something was jumping, and the silver silk threads were intertwined quickly, as if forming bones, flesh, and skin. Finally, two particularly bright silver light spots formed eyes, as if injected with soul.

A dragon carp as big as a person swayed its long whiskers and jumped out of the light. It swam flexibly around Zhang Xiao.

Then it took the silver light and treated the sky as an endless lake, swimming happily.

This brilliant light illuminated the courtyard below, the greenhouse in the distance, and even the lake surface was shining.

The dragon carp kept swimming, and the huge castle seemed to be its playground. It swam over curiously.

Passing through the tall towers and long suspension bridges, it shuttled freely in the castle.

The shadows were disappearing, whether it was the mottled swaying dead branches or the shadows left by the towers.

In the main building of the castle, in the tall principal's office, Dumbledore, wearing a simple white robe, put down the candy in his hand.

He walked quickly to the window and looked at the patronus that he had never seen before, which was like a living thing.

His azure eyes reflected bright eyes through the half-moon lenses, and then he smiled, a comfortable and happy smile.

"The great patronus is really great"

He said softly, "right, Fox?"

Fox, who had just been reborn, glanced at him, turned his face away with disdain, stared at the magic photo in the nest, closed his eyes and rubbed it with his face.

"Coo~"

Then he buried his head under his wings contentedly and began another day of rest.

Dumbledore laughed and didn't care at all:

"Zhang is completely different from Tom. His life so far at the age of 13 has been filled with joy and happiness, so he can summon such a real patronus, right?

Great."

In the castle of Hogwarts, many people also noticed this unusual patronus.

Flitwick held the wine glass high:

"Excellent! A patronus worth toasting - Zhang!"

In the vice-president's office, McGonagall flipped through the homework handed in by the students, her chest rising and falling violently, obviously she was very angry.

Then she looked out the window, and her lips, which had been pursed into a straight line, finally curved into an arc;

Professor Sprout was in the warm greenhouse, with his hands clasped together, looking expectantly at the ginseng leaves in the flowerpot;

Professor Snape sat in a chair blankly, his eyes like a deep ancient well, and he also summoned the patronus, just watching it running back and forth in the small room.

...

Yu Shui had put down the fishing rod in his hand, and he looked up at the dragon carp shuttling around the campus, with surprise on his small face.

Zhang Xiao also looked up, just staring motionlessly.

"It's so beautiful, sir."

"Yes, it's beautiful."

"Zhang, show us your skills!"

"Did you really learn it?"

"Merlin! Grade 2! A physical patronus! This is incredible!"

"It's a miracle!"

In the abandoned classroom, when they learned that Zhang Xiao had finally used a physical patronus.

The little wizards surrounded him and looked at him expectantly. This is a physical patronus!

Zhang Xiao sighed. As long as he pulled out the wand, it was as easy as eating and drinking water, without the slightest delay or brewing.

Just thinking about this, he recited the spell:

"Expecto Patronus!"

The silver dragon carp came out from the tip of the wand, shaking its head and tail, and circled Zhang Xiao affectionately for a few circles, then happily swung its fins and tail up and down in the air, just like a real carp.

"Wow!" The little wizard exclaimed in unison, following the dragon carp's swimming body, turning his head constantly.

Hermione's eyes were blurred, and she said softly:

"It's really beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes, I never thought a fish could be so beautiful. Look at its eyes, it seems alive!" Ron looked at the dragon carp in admiration and agreed.

Harry was different from them. There was only an inexplicable voice in his heart. He must know the Patronus Charm!

"Zhang, is this an ordinary creature or a magical animal?" Malfoy looked at it for a while and suddenly asked curiously.

As we all know, the rarer the flesh patronus, the more powerful it is. If it is a magical creature, it is a symbol of power. Among the wizards alive, only Dumbledore's patronus is a phoenix.

This almost represents his unshakable strength.

If Zhang, the outstanding figure of Slytherin, the president of Qingluan Society, the model of pure blood, has a magical creature as his patronus.

Then the spiritual uplift for Slytherin will be immeasurable!

Ordinary creature or magical animal?

Zhang Xiao scratched his head. It is indeed difficult to distinguish. Carp definitely exists in reality, but his patronus is not the same as carp. Dragon carp should be considered a legendary creature, right?

At least he has never seen those two long whiskers on ordinary carp. They look like dragon whiskers!

After hesitating for a while, Zhang still said truthfully: "Actually, I am not sure what this is. Should it be considered half animal, half magical creature?"

Malfoy was barely satisfied with this answer. Half legend is also legend.

Only Cedric asked the most fundamental question:

"Zhang, how did you successfully summon the physical patronus? Can we learn it?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiao nodded affirmatively. Not only that, it would be much easier for them to learn. It would not be as difficult as himself.

After mastering the physical patronus, many problems are solved. If I guess correctly, the third to sixth grade stage is the best time to learn the patronus.

After this stage, the difficulty of learning will become greater and greater, and the young wizards will rarely touch this legendary and extremely difficult spell because of their young age.

Because when you are old, happiness and happiness are not so pure, it is difficult to condense the physical patronus, but when you are young, your experience may not be enough.

As for the reason why Harry and the members of D.A can easily learn the patronus spell, Zhang Xiao has roughly figured it out.

When the young wizards learn the patronus spell, when they find that they are not happy enough, they will instinctively look for other happy memories and accumulate them little by little.

Finally, through an opportunity, all the accumulated things are released, which is the physical patronus.

This method is very similar to Zhang Xiao's! It just lacks the links of filling in flesh and blood, injecting "soul", and applying color.

Moreover, when a group of people learn the patronus spell, the mist or other things released can easily resonate with the young wizards.

Let them unconsciously immerse themselves in happiness and joy, which invisibly reduces the difficulty.

Adults are different. They will find the happiest thing in their hearts. If they fail, they may think that this thing is not happy enough, so they will change it.

They will not do addition continuously like the little wizard.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiao used the thinking of an adult to learn the Patronus spell, constantly looking for the moment he thought was the happiest, but he never thought about thinking about the interesting and happy moments in his life when releasing it.

However, the physical patronus summoned by these two methods is very different.

For example, Zhang Xiao's patronus is very easy to summon again after it is constructed. It only takes one thought and one spell.

And it is very smart, as if it is a living thing.

The little wizards are different. First of all, because the construction is not perfect, what is summoned is only the physical patronus, that's all, with an empty form and lack of "soul".

If you want to release it again, you have to look at the state. In actual combat, it is very likely that it will not be released at all.

Even Harry himself realized this, so he told the little wizards in the fifth part of the Order of the Phoenix:

"It is worth noting that we all summoned the Patronus in a brightly lit and very safe environment.

If we really face the Dementors, we may not be able to do anything."

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xiao looked at the eager little wizards and finally said:

"I was off track before. If you want to learn, it is very simple. Try your best to think of happy things. If one is not enough, then two.

If two are not enough, then three. Try your best to dig out every bit of happiness and joy in your heart.

Until you can summon the Patronus."

"Is that enough?" Harry scratched his messy hair, a little surprised that the Patronus Charm, which is said to be extremely difficult, is so simple.

"That's enough!"

Zhang Xiao said seriously.

Then he looked at Ron and asked meaningfully:

"Hey, how is your mouse Scabbers now? Is he still in a coma?"

Ron was a little depressed. The mouse Scabbers had been with their family for thirteen years, although he usually disliked it.

But when I think of Banban being so old and possibly dying at any time, I still can't help but feel sad:

"Well, it has lived long enough, and it will probably leave us soon, right?"

Yes, he will leave you soon.

Zhang Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the Patronus Charm has been mastered. The focus now is Pettigrew - Peter!

While everyone was practicing the Patronus Charm with great interest, Zhang Xiao sat aside and began to plan the following plan.

In fact, the whole thing is not complicated, just catch Peter and hand him over to Dumbledore.

The most difficult thing is how to reasonably explain how to find Peter Pettigrew.

But this problem is no longer a difficult point.

After experiencing the incident of St. Mungoneville's family, Dumbledore already knew that there was a magical spell in the East that could directly see many things that were invisible to the naked eye.

And the most critical evidence has been supplemented.

Things change rapidly, and the tracking charm given to Peter at the beginning of the school year is no longer useful.

Zhang Xiao took out the Marauder's Map and stared at the black dot named Peter Pettigrew among the densely packed names in the Gryffindor Tower.

This is the evidence.

Harry and Ron pushed open the door of the dormitory, looked at it casually, and said to the air:

"Zhang, Seamus is not here."

Zhang Xiao took off the invisibility cloak and gave it back to Harry:

"Where is Scabbers?"

Ron pointed at the big rat sleeping beside him: "Still sleeping, I'm really worried that it will leave in its sleep one day."

Peter was awakened by the noise, and he opened his eyes and found that it was Ron, Harry, and Zhang, who was rarely seen.

A trace of doubt flashed in his black bean-like eyes. What are they doing here?

"Zhang, can your medicine really revitalize Scabbers?"

"Absolutely no problem, this is a nutritious tonic potion from the East, mild and non-irritating, very useful for mice!"

So you want to help me replenish nutrition? Peter was slightly relieved, and then he suddenly remembered the scene on the train at the beginning of the school year.

This kid didn't know what he had done to himself.

Since then, Peter has always felt as if he was being watched.

As an Animagus in the form of a mouse, Peter trusts his intuition very much, because it is with this intuition that he has escaped danger many times.

What kind of rat tonic is this kid going to give him now?

Peter's uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and he suddenly jumped up from the bed.

No, I have to run!

Zhang Xiao's expression moved, and he took a few steps and grabbed Peter with lightning speed. You want to run?

Harry and Ron stared at the man and the mouse in a daze.

I always feel that something is wrong?

Peter's eyes flashed with a trace of blood, and he opened his mouth and wanted to bite it, but the hand holding it suddenly floated with a thin layer of golden light.

The sharp teeth were like biting into steel, and Peter couldn't help but screaming "squeaky", and almost broke his teeth.

Zhang Xiao took this opportunity to pick up the "rat tonic" - the powerful water of life and death, and directly pushed the bottle mouth into Banban's mouth.

Peter smelled the smell, and his heart suddenly sank. How could he not recognize the water of life and death, which was necessary for playing dirty tricks?

He subconsciously wanted to turn into a human form and escape.

But the powerful water of life and death specially made by Professor Snape was so powerful that it took effect almost immediately after swallowing.

The little mouse almost rolled his eyes, and it was as if all the bones in his body were pulled out, and he collapsed softly.

"Zhang" Ron widened his eyes, pointed at Peter tremblingly, and said sadly: "Is Banban dead?"

Zhang Xiao did not answer, but took out a silver block from his pocket and turned it into a sturdy cage.

I don't know what material this block is made of, but it is extremely sturdy, so I am not afraid that Peter can break free.

"It's not dead, it's just asleep." Zhang Xiao closed the cage and breathed a sigh of relief: "Ron, I'll borrow it for a while."

"But"

Zhang Xiao looked at the anxious Ron and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, on the contrary, it may be a good thing."

The friendship and trust established over the past two years made Ron finally choose to believe Zhang, and he also wanted to know what good thing Zhang was talking about.

Then the rest of the things are simple.

Go find Dumbledore!
