A lion with a mane blowing in the wind, with cold eyes, lay next to Jon!
But the silver light floating in the air was only half consumed, and the other part was quickly transformed into reality, less than a second later than the lion.
A little badger that kept jumping in mid-air, leaving a little bit of silver light, landed on Jon's shoulder!
The moment the lion appeared, the dementors closest to Jon began to roar in pain. They seemed to be roasted on a fire, and rags were constantly falling from their already tattered robes.
The bottom part fell and eventually turned into wisps of black gas!
The one who suffered the most was naturally the dementor leader who couldn't wait to suck Jon dry.
Its withered hand was about to touch the corner of Jon's clothes. The moment the lion and badger appeared, the tip of the finger seemed to be lit, and black gas continued to float away!
The male lion slowly stood up from the ground. Facing the Dementors who were already scrambling to escape just a few seconds after rushing into the cellar, it ferociously revealed its silver-colored horns.
tooth!
The little badger standing on Jon's shoulder jumped down and rode on top of the lion's head. Then the two animals drove the dementors out of the cellar!
Nick watched this scene in shock from the moment Jon summoned the Patronus.
He stared dumbly at Jon, who was also in a daze, stammering and unable to even utter a complete sentence.
"Two patron saints?" Jon helped him finish what he didn't ask.
But even Jon himself felt strange. In order to learn the Patronus Charm, he read many related magic books and notes under Lupine's guidance.
From ancient times to the present, there are many examples of patron saints changing after different experiences, but it is unprecedented for a wizard to summon two patron saints at the same time.
And, not to mention, a lion and a...badger?
If only a single animal appeared, it might not remind them of anything, but what significance do lions and badgers have to the school of Hogwarts? No one can compare with Nick, who has been the resident ghost for hundreds of years.
more clearly.
Jon naturally knew what this might mean.
There are a total of four animals in Hogwarts that represent the qualities of different houses. Now that bravery and loyalty are available, can the other two also...?
After all, two types can be summoned, so why can't four be summoned?
Jon didn't think about this thoughtful question for long, and he hadn't forgotten where they were currently.
"Don't think so much now, let's go, Nick, wait until we get back to the ship."
Nick nodded with a complicated expression and followed Jon out of the cellar.
The corridor outside has become empty, and only the silver light remaining in the air tells what happened here just now.
When approaching the castle gate, the lion and badger that were originally chasing the dementors returned to Jon's side lightly.
The two animals, one behind the other, with the lion in the front and the little badger in the back, left Azkaban with Jon and the others.
On the way, Jon tentatively stretched out his hand to touch the lion patron saint in front of him. As if the big guy who was half a man tall could sense his thoughts, he stopped on his own initiative and allowed Jon to pick it up.
its mane.
The patron saint is not illusory like a ghost. Jon can really touch the physical body of this male lion, but the texture is obviously not like normal hair, and it is still very different from a real lion.
"Why are there two patron saints? A lion and a badger?"
Along the way, Nick kept repeating these two questions, but even Jon himself couldn't give him an answer.
He himself didn't know why he was able to summon two patron saints, and they happened to be the two symbolic animals of Hogwarts.
But after successfully summoning the Patronus, he finally understood why it was so difficult for him to learn the Patronus Charm.
It's not just his own mental problem that has never been solved. Others only have one, he has two, and maybe there will be four more. The process is more difficult and tortuous. Isn't it common sense to think about it?
They passed through half of Azkaban Island without any pause, and finally arrived at Hogwarts in the middle of the night.
After canceling the Patronus Charm, Jon did not call the people on the ship to let them put down the gangplank, but directly used the Floating Charm to fly to the deck with Nick.
"Let's wait until everyone wakes up tomorrow to talk about what happens next. I'm going to loosen the fixed rudder first. I can't continue to spend the night on this island. Those dementors will probably search the entire island soon and find out.
We need to leave immediately."
While talking to Nick, Jon was walking towards the helm of the ship, and just as he was approaching the mast and about to reach the helmsman's position, a small but firm voice came to his ears along with the sea breeze.
"Call the gods to protect you."
Under the moonlight, Hermione was on the bow of the ship.
She waved her wand and recited spells, but occasionally only a few silver sparks exploded from the tip of her wand.
Neither Jon nor Nick made a sound. They looked at each other. Jon crossed his arms in front of him and leaned half of his body on the mast, just listening to the girl's continuous chanting of spells.
"Look, it's still the same old problem I told you before. Don't add your own habitual tone at the end of the pronunciation. And when swinging the stick, you must grasp this position when you raise it."
He casually pointed out the girl's problem with casting spells.
Hermione was stunned.
She turned her head and looked at Jon, her eyes gradually changed from stunned to surprised, and finally her body and voice couldn't stop trembling.
"You actually didn't lie to Fred..."
Jon spread his hands and blinked innocently.
"Hey, don't be like this. Don't think that I have lied to you before, as if I am a big liar who is addicted to lying."
However, Nick on the side did not show any mercy and made trouble on the spot.
"He is a liar! I prove that when I first found him, he wanted me to trick you into sailing ahead! If he hadn't been taught a lesson by me and realized that he was wrong, he might have already
Let the dementors suck you to death!"
"Hey, hey, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak. Sir Nicholas, you are a ghost. You should try to reduce your sense of existence."
