Chapter 240: Patronus Charm

Allen couldn't help but think of many things, and he even began to imagine a wonderful future life.

Professor Snape seemed to see through Allen's thoughts.

"Actually, the success rate of this method is not very high, and the low success rate also leads to high costs." Professor Snape splashed cold water with a blank expression.

Allen immediately calmed down; this explanation actually conformed to the objective laws of the development of things.

However, even so, this technique was extremely important to him. Once mastered, it would be much easier for him to specify and transform certain parts of a Pokémon in the future.

But judging by Professor Snape's expression, learning this technique would not be that easy.

"Professor, can you teach me this preservation method?" Allen was still prepared to try.

Professor Snape looked at Allen with a blank expression and said nothing; everything was understood without words.

Allen had to give up this idea for now and wait for another opportunity in the future.

Next, he cooperated with Snape in sampling. Professor Snape's sampling technique was naturally quite rough, but thinking that some of these samples could be preserved for a long time, Allen actually felt a bit happy...

The next morning, Allen discovered that the flower bud on his back had disappeared. He even felt a trace of regret in his heart because this flower bud was really too useful.

Today, Allen randomly obtained the horn of a common animal. It seemed that his talent after leveling up only greatly increased the probability of randomly obtaining organs and parts of non-common animals.

In the afternoon, Harry brought Allen a message: Professor Lupin's body had finally recovered, and he was now preparing to continue teaching Harry the Patronus Charm at night. Harry also told Professor Lupin about Allen's desire to learn the Patronus Charm, and Professor Lupin readily agreed to the request.

In the evening, Allen and Harry came to an empty classroom on the fourth floor, where Professor Lupin was already waiting for their arrival.

Professor Lupin still had that gentle appearance, but a trace of lingering fatigue hung on his face. His figure had become even thinner, indicating that recent illnesses had brought him considerable torment.

Harry had now initially mastered the Patronus Charm; every time now, silver-white mist appeared from his wand.

Professor Lupin checked Harry's learning progress and then began to have him practice the Patronus Charm under the pressure of a Boggart simulating a Dementor.

As for Allen, he needed to start learning again.

In fact, Allen had recently figured out what kind of spell the Patronus Charm was by searching for information.

The Patronus Charm is one of the most powerful and ancient defensive spells in the wizarding world, and also the most famous defensive spell. Successfully casting the Patronus Charm is extremely difficult. Most wizards and witches cannot cast the Patronus Charm; being able to cast it is usually considered a mark of extraordinary magical ability. Some wizards and witches can only cast a Patronus without a form; their Patronus is like a wisp of silver vapor. A formless Patronus is not a true Patronus; it can only provide limited protection, unlike a Patronus with a complete form which possesses powerful defensive capabilities. The Patronus Charm is also one of the oldest spells, appearing in many legends of ancient magic.

Professor Lupin also briefly introduced it, and then got to the main topic.

"This spell only works when you concentrate your mind. When you cast the spell, you should do your utmost to recall a happy memory." Professor Lupin emphasized.

Allen finally understood why Yoder said he didn't know the Patronus Charm; Yoder indeed seemed to have no happy memories.

Then Professor Lupin began to teach the pronunciation of the Patronus Charm and the wand movement.

Allen mastered these quickly and then began to practice.

Allen ransacked his intestines and stomach to search for happy memories. He sadly discovered that many happy things in his memory had faded; things that were very happy back then...

... now seemed not so happy when recalled, and instead felt a bit childish.

However, he didn't think for too long; he soon found a suitable memory—checking his college entrance exam scores in his previous life.

His college entrance exam scores in his previous life were very good. He used those scores to enter a very good university; this could be said to be the highlight of the first half of his previous life.

He constantly recalled this memory while waving his wand and chanting the spell: "Expecto Patronum!"

Some silver threads appeared on his wand, then quickly dissipated into the air.

"The spell and wand movement are fine; the problem lies in the thing you are recalling in your heart not being happy enough." Professor Lupin pointed out Allen's current problem.

So Allen found a few more happy memories, but the Patronus Charm he cast had little difference from the first time.

However, these failures could not defeat Allen. Although there was no progress, he continued to cast the spell.

During a break in the middle, Allen suddenly realized: since the memories of his previous life had faded, he should use the happy memories of this life; the closer to the present, the better, as such happiness would be more intense.

So Allen found that the incident of beating up Malfoy yesterday was very suitable, and he cast the Patronus Charm again. This time, the Patronus Charm summoned a silver light ball the size of a soccer ball, composed entirely of silver-white mist.

Allen was stunned: was tying someone up yesterday really that happy for him?

He couldn't believe this hypothesis, but the result before his eyes already explained the issue.

He couldn't help but begin to examine his own heart: was he becoming more and more perverted psychologically recently?

He continued to practice the Patronus Charm. The memory of defeating Quirrell in his first year and defeating the Basilisk in his second year were all dug up from the depths of his memory.

The result was that the light ball he summoned became bigger and bigger, but no specific form appeared. He still very much wanted to know what animal his Patronus was.

This class ended happily. Professor Lupin was very surprised by Allen's progress; he believed that Allen's current progress had completely caught up with Harry's.

Although he had not fully mastered the Patronus Charm, Allen began to think about the relationship between magical intelligence and the Patronus Charm; these two things felt completely unrelated.

Allen fell into deep confusion and began to suspect that the clue provided by Mr. Weasley was wrong.

Did he have to practice the Patronus Charm until he could summon a Patronus with a specific form?

That would be difficult; going from a formless to a formed Patronus is a qualitative leap, and the difficulty is a qualitative rise.

He quickly thought of the Thunderbird's eye, and a thought suddenly arose in his heart: what parameters does the Patronus Charm have?
