The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

The next morning, Jon was in the Daily Prophet and saw piles of news about Gilderoy Lockhart.

"The famous wizard Gilderoy Lockhart is actually a fraudster who abuses the forgetting spell!" The Daily Prophet wrote on the front page.

"The International League Against the Dark Arts announced the cancellation of Lockhart's honorary membership, and the Committee of the Sir Merlin Corps announced the withdrawal of the Third Class Medal awarded to Lockhart." This is the second edition of the news.

"Minister of Magic Connelly Fudge said that law enforcement officers have been dispatched and Lockhart will be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible." On a small crutch in the third edition, Jon saw a portrait of the Minister of Magic.

As Lockhart had anticipated, his story spread across the campus...

As he passed the Gryffindor table, Jon heard Ron Weasley's loud voice:

"I've known for a long time that Gilderoy Lockhart is a liar!"

"Sure enough, nothing he said is true!" Harry Potter agreed and nodded.

"But he got away..." screamed Hermione Granger, her voice sounding surprised and angry, as if she had been deceived. "The Ministry didn't catch him!"

"Hey, he can't escape very far!" Ron snorted coldly. "My dad told me that the law enforcement officers at the Ministry of Magic are very powerful!"

Not just Gryffindor students, but Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and even Slytherin students are celebrating Gilderoy Lockhart's departure... Four Houses, the first in nearly a century It's surprisingly consistent on one thing.

Even the unsmiling Professor Snape, who always wore a black robe, was wearing a festive red coat today; he looked like a red bat.

Jon didn't take part in their celebration or criticism. After reading the newspaper and nibbling on a few pieces of bread for breakfast, he left the restaurant.

...

There were no classes on Thursday morning, and now that the basilisk was dead, there was no need for Jon to act as cautiously as before.

Arriving at the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, Jon dug out a few books that he got here yesterday.

"Under the Shadow of the Moon," which describes the habits of werewolves, and "Summoning the Joy of Your Heart," which describes Dementors and Patronus Charms, both borrowed from the Restricted Books area; and left to him by Professor Lockhart. The white booklet.

Jon first glanced at the white booklet, the forgetting spell was much more profound and complicated than he imagined, and it was even more difficult to release it without leaving too many traces... It may be possible with a little carelessness It can have extremely serious consequences, and in fact, because the spell is so dangerous, it's hard to find a book describing it, even in the forbidden books area of ​​Hogwarts.

Jon looked at it for only ten minutes, and his head was a little big, and he had to close it again.

Then, he flipped through another book roughly.

He already knew a lot about the habits of "Wolfmen", and it was not difficult for him to read the book "Under the Shadow of the Moon"... About an hour later, Jon picked up the last book "Summoning Your Heart" hapiness":

The content described in this book will also be a very difficult challenge for him...

The Patronus Charm is a highly defensive spell; when uttering this spell, the magician needs to concentrate and think about what is happiest in his heart.

The spell is "Expecto Patronum".

When fully functional, you can summon your own Patronus, let the Patronus take the attack on your behalf, and launch a counterattack; the Patronus can expel or even destroy Dementors and Voldemort (or shroud), and these evil The only natural enemy of living things.

The release of many spells depends on emotions, and there is no doubt that the Patronus Mantra is the most emotionally dependent... It requires really happy memories.

Searching for happy memories in your mind, you can indeed find many; but it is not easy for you to truly feel happy memories from the bottom of your heart.

After all, since I came to this world, I am an adult mentally, and it is impossible for me to have the same "emotions, sorrows and sorrows" as a child forever; and the happy memories of past lives, many of which have been blurred with the passage of time. Not clear.

Jon took a deep breath and decided to try it first.

He pulled out his wand, squinted his eyes slightly, and began to recall the "happy" memory in his mind, and at the same time whispered in his mouth:

"Expecto Patronum!"

At this moment, the memory in his mind recalled his feelings when he received the admission letter from Eton College.

Too bad the top of the wand barely changed and he failed!

Thinking back carefully... When I received the admission letter to Eton College, my emotions were more of relief than pure happiness.

"Expecto Patronum!"

It was released again, and there was no change at the top of the wand... The memory he chose was the successful release of the "Petrification Charm" on mice during the summer vacation last year; that was the first spell he successfully released.

Thinking back... Magic didn't feel too mysterious to him at the time, and the Petrification Charm wasn't a deep spell; the feeling at the time was more predictable than joy.

"Expecto Patronum!"

The third release... the memory of choice was in Ollivander's store, and he was recognized by the bamboo wand himself!

Still failed!

Thinking back... At the beginning, my emotions were not really happy, but seemed to be a kind of happiness?

...

After practicing for most of the morning, there was still no silver thread on the top of Jon's wand.

The release of the Patronus Charm, he didn't even control the fur... It was more difficult than imagined.

Jon sat on the floor of the Room of Requirement, pursed his lips, and tried hard to search for memories that could be attached to "Happiness"... He tried almost all such memories, but he still didn't get the "approval" of the Patronus. .

When the time on the watch showed 12 noon, Jon just walked out of the Room of Requirement a little unwillingly.

I have to say, this morning is another memory of failure.

Coming to the restaurant, Jon heard Hannah Abbott talking to Wayne Hopkins:

"It's amazing, this is the coolest Defense Against the Dark Arts class I've ever taken!" Hannah shouted loudly, "I didn't expect..."

However, halfway through her words, she was interrupted by Zacharis Smith:

"Yeah, Lockhart has escaped, we don't have a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher anymore... Hannah, who is it?" He leaned in front of Hannah, and the monkey shouted anxiously.

Hannah giggled: "I won't tell you, you'll know when the time comes, it's really, really great!"
