Chapter 89: Practicing the Patronus Charm

John could only roughly guess that Lucius should be Malfoy; after all, it was that young master Draco who was scratched by Buckbeak, and his father started targeting Buckbeak.

As for Arthur, he is probably one of their people.

After hearing this, Hermione immediately gave Hagrid advice, using public opinion to help Buckbeak.

First is to expose that Lucius is suspected of bribing the presiding judge.

Second is to send out the biological habit experiment results from the trial court earlier.

Finally, share Buckbeak's daily life or past experiences, send them out to sell misery, and win social sympathy.

It still has to be Hermione, immediately thinking of some countermeasures.

Whether it's useful or not, she doesn't know, but at least she can fight back and win more chances of winning.

And Hermione also indicated that she would start preparing the appeal materials for Hagrid in advance, because she could foresee that the result of this trial would definitely not be good.

So a second appeal is definitely inevitable.

Hearing Hermione's deployment, Hagrid also settled his heart slightly.

"Hermione, thank you so much for worrying so much for me."

Hagrid wiped his nose, moved.

Afterwards, they chatted for a while, mainly Hermione collecting information from Hagrid, and finally she helped Hagrid formulate the public opinion news for counterattack.

John was just helping to make suggestions, and for the rest of the time, he was just watching the show.

Don't know what Hermione called him for...

Hmm, the tea today is not bad.

In the following few days, everything was as usual.

Every day is just attending classes, reading books, passionate sparring with Professor Flitwick, and arguing with Professor Snape.

It is worth mentioning.

Hermione really went to tell Professor McGonagall about John's weak basic knowledge, and Professor McGonagall seemed to attach great importance to it.

So John has been at Professor McGonagall's place every night these past few days, receiving her individual instruction.

Even Professor Snape wanting someone was directly driven away by Professor McGonagall.

It still has to be Professor McGonagall.

Professor Snape has no temper in front of her.

Little did he know, it was actually Professor Snape who had been insinuatingly sarcastic to Professor McGonagall a few days ago, saying that their Gryffindor hadn't won the House Quidditch Cup for 8 years.

So Professor McGonagall is still angry with him until now.

Time quickly arrived at the weekend.

Which is the day John and Professor Lupin agreed to practice the Patronus Charm.

The practice location was set in the staff room.

When John arrived, he found that he wasn't the only one who came to learn the Patronus Charm.

Also coming to learn was Harry Potter.

"Hey, John."

Harry saw John arrive and greeted him familiarly.

Their relationship is okay now, not to the point of being estranged, but actually not very familiar either.

"Senior Harry."

"You can just call me Harry."

John greeted politely, but Harry smiled and told him not to call him that.

Always feel that Harry's spirit has changed, quite different from last semester.

But where it changed, John couldn't say for a while.

If he had to say, it's that at first glance, you feel he is full of positive energy?

Regarding Harry's life experience and previous experiences, John had also heard a little.

Perhaps because there is now one more godfather and family, making him full of enthusiasm for life again.

"John, you are also here to learn the Patronus Charm, right?"

Harry seemed to know John's purpose for coming here, so he asked directly.

"Yes, Senior is also?"

John nodded and said.

Harry also nodded; he had chatted with Professor Lupin about this matter before, so he knew John was also coming to learn.

"Right, you might have heard that I was attacked by Dementors before, and then fainted directly... and it was twice!"

"So I found Professor Lupin, hoping to learn how to resist Dementors."

Harry felt a bit embarrassed when saying this, clearly feeling very ashamed about fainting after being attacked by Dementors.

This matter really doesn't blame him; after all, his past doesn't seem to be beautiful.

After being attacked by Dementors, happy memories are sucked away, and what's left is all painful memories.

Because Professor Lupin hadn't come yet, the two chatted for a while.

Harry even shared Sirius's current situation with him.

Said he rented a house near Harry's home, making it convenient for Harry to go find him at any time.

Harry was also very happy, but because of some reasons, he still couldn't truly live with Sirius, and that place couldn't be counted as a real home.

As for the reason, John seemed to have heard a little in the Headmaster's office last time, but he didn't care, so he forgot.

Harry even invited John to go play there, but was decisively refused by John.

"You two are here."

Finally, Professor Lupin came.

He looked in good spirits, smiled at the two as soon as he came in.

"Professor."

The two also stood up to greet him.

"Looks like you chatted well, I don't need to introduce too much."

Professor Lupin said while walking naturally to a big black box in the staff room and sitting down slowly.

John and Harry also came in front of Professor Lupin.

"Believe you also already understand each other's purpose for coming here, which is to learn the Patronus Charm."

"So let's start today's theme directly."

"Patronus Charm, this is a very difficult and profound magic spell, far exceeding the scope of the ordinary wizard level exam."

After Professor Lupin sat down, he looked at the two in front of him and continued to say slowly.

"Do you know what a Patronus is?"

The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads one after another.

"The so-called Patronus is a special power summoned by the Patronus Charm."

"It can block Dementors like a shield, protecting the wizard who summoned it."

"It can also turn into a sharp sword, driving away Dementors and protecting others."

"However, summoning it is not easy."

"You need a memory as a medium, and it must be a happy, powerful memory."

Hearing this, John blinked.

What is called a happy and powerful memory?

Does the memory of a 1v5 in the desert in the game, with teammates shouting 'awesome', count?

If not, then in the King's Canyon, Lu Bu's 1v5?

If not, then the memory of ten consecutive five-golds?

"Alright, now, close your eyes."

Professor Lupin didn't know John's brainstorming and started formal teaching.

The two also obediently closed their eyes.

"Concentrate, recall the past."

"Find that most happy, most powerful memory that belongs to you, and immerse yourself in it."

"Found it?"

Professor Lupin asked while saying whether they had found that memory.

Harry nodded, John hesitated for a moment, and also nodded.

"Very good, after finding this memory, recite the spell: Expecto Patronum."

Listening to Professor Lupin's words, they also started repeating the spell: Expecto Patronum.

"Very good."

Professor Lupin stood up slowly and patted the box under him.

With a few clicks, the lock on the box automatically unlocked.

"Now, start practical operation." ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
