Chapter 243: Analysis
Allen watched in surprise as Harry summoned a nearly formed Patronus; after all, aside from showing extraordinary talent when learning the Disarming Charm, Harry had always been overshadowed by him, yet he never expected Harry to be so gifted with the Patronus Charm.
Allen waved his wand somewhat unwillingly; this time, as expected, it was another wisp of silvery smoke, and it was even smaller than before.
He had to search his memories again, trying to find one that could make him feel happy.
"Professor, I think I've found that feeling," Harry suddenly said. "I want to try again."
"Oh? What idea do you have now?" Professor Lupin said gently.
"Yes," Harry grinned, covering his chest, his joy overflowing. "Just now, when I learned that my father's Patronus was also a stag, I felt a very proud and happy sensation..."
Professor Lupin's gaze grew even softer; he looked straight at Harry, staring at his face, his expression suggesting he had fallen into memories.
Allen even saw a glimmer of moisture in Professor Lupin's eyes; he didn't understand why Professor Lupin had such a strong reaction.
"Come, try it!" Professor Lupin said softly, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse.
Harry didn't notice these things; he raised his wand and let himself sink back into that surging positive emotion...
This wasn't difficult for Harry; he recalled everything he knew about his father, and a feeling of happiness filled his chest.
"Expecto Patronum!" Harry shouted the spell in the loudest, most joyful voice he had ever used.
A beam of silvery light burst from the tip of his wand; whether it was an illusion or not, Harry felt that this light was brighter than any before.
Within this dazzling silver light, a tall figure quickly took shape.
Huge, branching antlers; a slender, agile body and limbs; a small, delicate tail...
Undoubtedly, this was a stag.
"You've done it! Potter—" Professor Lupin stared at the beautiful creature, murmuring, a hint of complexity in his voice.
Allen keenly detected something unusual in Professor Lupin's tone; since Hermione had reminded him that Professor Lupin was likely a werewolf, he had quietly shifted much of his attention to Professor Lupin, which was why he had just noticed the professor's unusual behavior.
Professor Lupin's mood today is changing so strangely! Allen thought silently.
Moreover, Professor Lupin and Harry had a very good relationship; he had always called him Harry. Why did he call him Potter this time? This was another point Allen couldn't figure out.
Harry jumped up excitedly and eagerly went to high-five Allen and Professor Lupin.
Although being overshadowed wasn't a pleasant feeling, Allen was genuinely happy for his friend.
After the excitement passed, Harry looked delightedly at the Patronus he had just summoned; he couldn't help but reach out to touch his Patronus. At that moment, the stag Patronus gently lowered its head and affectionately nuzzled Harry's outstretched palm. Harry's palm passed lightly through the Patronus's body; although the Patronus looked solid, it was essentially composed of silvery smoke.
This was also the first time Allen had seen a wizard summon a solid Patronus; although Professor Lupin had always been teaching them the Patronus Charm, he never revealed his own Patronus form.
Allen watched with extreme focus, and the stag Patronus did not disappoint him; the stag Patronus demonstrated perceptual ability, cognitive ability, and behavioral ability to a certain extent, all of which were signs of intelligence.
It seems Mr. Weasley didn't mislead him; the Patronus Charm is indeed the key.
The stag Patronus quickly vanished from this abandoned classroom, and the room grew dim again.
After a moment of contemplation, Allen turned his gaze to Harry beside him.
He decided to ask Harry for advice; he didn't care about things like saving face.
"Harry, when you summoned a complete Patronus, was the only thing you thought about the fact that your father's Patronus was the same as yours?"
Harry patiently answered Allen's question and detailed his thought process.
"I also remembered that Professor McGonagall once told me my father was also a Seeker; whether it was Quidditch or the Patronus, it made me feel how close I was to him..."
Allen listened patiently to Harry's account and felt he had gained something.
But next, he tried several more times and still failed to summon a complete Patronus; instead, the smoke he summoned became even smaller.
"Everyone has a different personality and different experiences, so the things that make them happy will differ; even the same person using the Patronus Charm at different times will draw upon different memories. Harry's method can only give you an idea; it doesn't mean that if you follow his line of thinking exactly, you will summon a Patronus just like him," Professor Lupin spoke up to guide Allen's analysis.
"Think carefully: in the memories Harry drew upon, what generated his positive emotions? What is the essence of those emotions?" Professor Lupin was very patient.
At this moment, Allen also fell into thought.
What is the essence of the strong positive emotions Harry generated? Family affection? Allen thought rapidly.
Allen also tried to recall his own family affection, hoping to use it to stir up his emotions, but he soon found it was all futile.
Allen discovered that the family affection in his heart was fundamentally different from the family affection in Harry's heart.
The family affection in Harry's heart was an infinite longing for his parents; he had lost them at a very young age, and his imagination of his parents was extremely beautiful; it was precisely because of this imagination that he felt so excited when he discovered the similarities between himself and his father, allowing him to stir up emotions so easily.
But Allen was different; fundamentally, he was not an orphan. Now, when he thought of his parents, he felt only pain and guilt; they had worked hard to raise him to adulthood, yet he had suddenly left them in his prime. How heartbroken they must be? How would they spend the rest of their lives?
Therefore, when Allen thought of his parents and family affection, he could not stir up any positive emotions within himself.
And when he thought of happy things from his past life, due to the transmigration, he always felt as if he were watching a fire from the opposite shore, making it very difficult to stir up emotions.
After trying several different methods and failing repeatedly, Allen soon stopped and began to think again.
What is the essence of Harry's ability to stir up emotions?
It seems to be an emotion of loving but not being able to obtain, and that emotion was, to a certain extent, satisfied.
