At eight o'clock in the evening, Albert made an appointment with his roommates to practice the Patronus Charm in the dormitory.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Albert opened the door and saw Harry, Hermione and Ron standing outside the door, and asked doubtfully: "Is something wrong?"
"I told Harry that we are going to practice the Patronus Charm tonight." Fred winked at Albert and explained: "You also know that the Dementors have a great influence on Harry, and he hopes to
You will learn here...well, how to drive away and resist dementors."
As for Ron and Hermione, they obviously made up the numbers.
Albert glared at Fred fiercely, swept his eyes across the somewhat crowded room, and then looked at the three people outside the door.
Hermione also noticed that Albert was unaware of their arrival, and quickly said: "Can you teach us the charm to drive away the dementors?"
"You should go to Professor Lupin, not me." Albert frowned and said.
"No way?"
"Okay, since you are all here, come in!"
Three more people suddenly appeared in the already small dormitory, making it even more crowded.
Harry and the three of them sat on the edge of the bed, like well-behaved students preparing to listen to the professor's lecture.
"The spell that can expel dementors is called the Patronus Charm." Albert began to give Harry and the three of them some knowledge about the Patronus Charm. "This is a profound magic. The prerequisite for using the Patronus Charm is that you are powerful.
This is also a common problem with most advanced magics. If your own magical power is not strong enough, you will not be able to fully exert the effect of the Patronus Spell."
After Albert finished speaking, without giving the three people time to ask questions, he asked Fred to demonstrate the effect of the Patronus Charm to them.
"Ahem, watch it!" Fred raised his wand in full view of everyone, cleared his throat and said: "Calling the gods to protect you!"
Everyone could see a puff of silver gas coming from the tip of Fred's wand.
"Is this the Patronus?" Harry couldn't help but blinked, feeling that the effect of the Patronus Charm was different from what he thought.
"That is the prototype of the patron saint. It has very little effect and cannot drive away the dementors. It can basically be ignored." Albert glanced at Fred and continued: "You also heard the spell just now: summon the guardian spirit!"
"Calling God for protection, calling God for protection, calling God for protection."
The three of them were repeating the mantra in a low voice, as if they wanted to remember the mantra in their hearts.
After Albert waited for the three of them to calm down, he continued: "When using the Patronus Charm, you need to concentrate, recall the happiest things in your heart, and say 'Calling the Guardian'. The movement of waving the staff is like this."
He used his wand to draw circles so that the three Harrys could clearly see the wand movement of the Patronus Charm.
"Okay, try it yourself!"
"Hoo...guard."
"Call the gods to protect you."
Hermione corrected, a few thin wisps of silver smoke coming from the tip of her wand.
"I succeeded."
"Call the gods to protect you."
After a thin stream of silver gas erupted from the end of the wand, Harry jumped up from the bed excitedly and shouted: "I succeeded, I succeeded!"
"Why am I the only one who didn't succeed?" Ron suddenly became depressed when he saw that all his friends succeeded, but his own wand didn't respond at all.
"That's because you are waving your wand in the wrong direction, my idiot brother." Fred reminded him with his hand covering his face.
"You're the idiot." Ron said angrily.
Then he tried again and soon succeeded.
"Okay, you have all successfully used the Patron Saint Spell. Now you just need to continue practicing the spell until you can summon the complete form of the Patron Saint. Well, it is the so-called physical Patron Saint, which is usually an animal.
The shape of the patron saint is different for everyone."
"Is this successful?" Ron looked at Fred suspiciously and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
"Only by truly summoning a physical Patronus can one truly master the Patronus Charm." George explained to the three of them on behalf of Fred, "As for what we have now, we call it a non-corporeal Patronus, which is what Albert said.
The prototype of the patron saint is a ball of silver-white gas or smoke, with no specific form."
"In Albert's words, I can blow away your spell with just one breath." Fred said, blowing on Ron's wand, which really blew away a wisp of thin silver gas.
.
"I don't remember saying 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 physical guardian angel."
"Maybe you can learn it?" Ron asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Under normal circumstances, even if you graduate from seventh grade, you may not be exposed to this spell." Albert explained calmly: "Also, even if you really can't summon the physical guardian angel, it is not a shameful thing. Facts
In fact, the vast majority of wizards in the magic world are unable to summon a physical patron saint, otherwise successfully summoning a physical patron saint would not be regarded by many people as a sign of superior magical power."
"Well, although I think this statement is pure nonsense."
"No, this spell is too difficult." Hermione was a little discouraged. This was her first time learning such an advanced spell, and it was really shocking.
Harry tried again and found that he could only summon a very weak mist, so he couldn't help but ask: "Albert, how long did it take you to successfully summon the physical Patronus?"
"About... half a year!"
"so long."
Ron thought that Albert's talent could be mastered in a few weeks at most.
"Alas! You're an idiot and you still don't admit it." Fred looked like you are indeed an idiot.
"You'd better not take Albert as a role model. That guy will always be a special case. We have been following him for several years and have not been able to successfully summon a physical patron saint." Lee Jordan was teasing Tom over there.
I guessed what the three people were thinking, so I vaccinated them in advance.
"What is Albert's patronus?" Hermione asked curiously.

"What about you?" Ron glared at Fred dissatisfied.
"Magpie!" they both said in unison, "Lee Jordan is a gorilla."
"Shut up."
"Aren't you unable to summon a physical Patronus?" Hermione immediately realized the problem.
"What Albert said, we trust his judgment." Fred and George both looked like you have to believe Albert.
"Did you predict it?"
"No, it's just a guess. The shape of the patron saint varies from person to person, generally related to personality and heart." Albert explained casually, "Okay, let me give you a final summary:
First: The Patronus Charm requires very strong magical power as its foundation. If you want to succeed, you need to practice it regularly, which can also better train your magical power.
Second: Don’t hold the idea that everyone can’t succeed, and I probably can’t succeed, otherwise you may never succeed. In my opinion, as long as the magic power is not too bad and the wizard is willing to train hard, he can generally succeed.
Successfully summoned the physical guardian spirit.
Third: When casting the spell, try to recall the happiest memory you can think of. Usually, the stronger the pleasure 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 the spell must be strong enough and you need to concentrate enough. Just because you can summon a patron saint in a brightly lit place does not mean that you can successfully summon a patron saint when facing dementors. That is
Two different concepts. Dementors will suck away happy memories from your mind, making it difficult for you to recall happy memories. This is the reason why some people cannot summon a patron saint when facing dementors.
"Any other questions?" Albert asked.
"Can you show us your Patronus!" Hermione begged.
"Okay!" Albert raised his wand, summoned his patron saint, and fulfilled the wishes of several people.
The silver gryphon patron saint flew around the dormitory and disappeared.
"It's so cool!" Ron couldn't help but widened his eyes and said, "I wonder what my patron saint is?"
"The premise is that you can successfully summon the physical patron saint." Fred cruelly shattered Ron's illusion, "I don't think the chance is high."
"Potter, if you really want to master the Patronus Charm, I suggest you go to Professor Lupin." Albert stopped Harry who wanted to speak and continued, "Even if you successfully summon the physical Patronus here,
It’s also difficult to rely on him to resist the Dementors.”
"Why?"
"Those who have had bad experiences are easily affected by Dementors and become vulnerable." Albert looked into Harry's eyes and said, "If you want to overcome the influence of Dementors on yourself, you
We need to face them bravely.”
"Confronting the dementors?" Hermione couldn't believe what she heard.
"That's absolutely the craziest thing I've ever heard," Ron muttered.
"Idiot, listen to what Albert has to say."
None of the three people thought that Albert would suggest that Harry face the dementors.
"Professor Lupine can definitely help you find a similar substitute. He is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and has more say in this field than me. Do you understand what I mean? Don't be embarrassed. I think Professor Luping will be very good.
I am happy to help you, he is your father’s good friend. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Hagrid.”
