The White Wizard looked at Li Lin, who was standing thoughtfully beside Flitwick, and said softly, "Aren't you going to explain this to us, Professor Aatrox?"
124 Big Guy
A cold wind howled through the sky above Hogwarts.
Li Lin's dark eyes gradually turned into dead fish eyes.
Unfortunately, it was too dark, and neither Dumbledore nor Snape saw this scene.
"What did you say? Say it again."
Dumbledore frowned and repeated it again.
"I won't say it, I won't say it, I won't say it, hehehehehehehehe." Master Li, who had started to have an attack, suddenly ran away with a sly laugh, and then tripped over Frivi, who was lying on the ground.
"Damn it!" Li Lin got up, pulled out a crowbar, and prepared to whip the corpse.
Fortunately, Dumbledore couldn't bear to see his old colleague suffer such physical pain, so he quickly stopped Li Lin and used his Patronus to notify Professor McGonagall, asking her to appease the troublemakers in Gryffindor.
Flitwick's problem is now temporarily resolved, but the Ravenclaw and Slytherin students continue to generate fear and the effects of the winter phase.
"Expecto Patronum."
Dumbledore raised the Elder Wand, pointed it at Ravenclaw, and muttered something under his breath.
The silver light rippled outwards like water, and a huge phoenix rose from it, circling and flapping its wings around Ravenclaw Tower. However, compared to the tower that continuously emitted gray mist, even Dumbledore's Patronus Charm was somewhat inadequate.
“Mr. Aatrox, I would be very happy if you could cast a Patronus Charm to help this poor old man.”
Dumbledore said without looking at her, then changed the subject, "To be honest, I'm also very curious about your Patronus."
"Please have some self-respect." For some inexplicable reason, Li Lin retorted with a remark that left Dumbledore speechless.
However, Li Lin knew that if he continued to refuse to cooperate, Dumbledore would suspect that he was a dark wizard.
The best chance to clear his name of being a dark wizard is right in front of him—as long as he can unleash the Patronus Charm [Patriot], which only top white wizards can use, no matter how much Master Li has a relapse, he will not be able to shake off his identity as a high-level white wizard.
Snape had already fixed his gaze on Li Lin with a cold smile.
The Patronus Charm is a standard accessory for top-tier white wizards because casting it requires cherishing pleasant and joyful memories. These charms, which demand positive emotions, become stronger with each cast.
Dark wizards are unable to cast Patronus Charms because, through repeated corruption by dark magic, they have lost all positive emotions, leaving only malice and negativity.
Li Lin curled his lip, snorted coldly, and snapped his fingers.
On the dark green tabletop, a secret manual suddenly flipped over, and countless memories flashed before his eyes until a burst of heat enveloped him.
That was the image of him sitting in front of Li Lin, smiling.
[Fourth-Tier Secret Technique: Divine Protection]
[Rank: Fragment]
[Nature/Appearance: Heart]
Few can withstand adversity with unwavering strength. Our guardians tirelessly watch over us day and night, and as I gaze upon its colors, my heart pounds like thunder.
【"Expecto Patronum". 】
[There are currently no restrictions on the use of this spell, but you must retain at least one happy memory.]
A silvery light shot straight up from his head into the sky, spreading out as it approached the Hogwarts canopy before falling down like a flowing, iridescent robe.
"What kind of guardian spirit is this...?" Snape instinctively looked up, staring in awe at the enormous silver spirit above him.
Dumbledore's Phoenix was the largest Patronus Charm Snape had ever seen, but even when fully unleashed, it was still less than one-tenth the size of Li Lin's Patronus Charm!
The vast majority of wizards can only summon a Patronus in the form of an ordinary animal, such as Snape's own doe and Minerva McGonagall's tabby cat. A very small number of wizards have Patronus that are legendary magical creatures, such as Dumbledore's phoenix.
Even rarer are ancient creatures that have gone extinct, such as a wizard named Hedley Fleetwood, whose patron saint was the extinct mammoth.
The famous ancient Greek wizard Andros the Invincible was considered the only wizard capable of summoning guardian gods the size of giants.
But even a giant is far too small compared to the silver spirits whose silver robes draped over the Hogwarts canopy above their heads and whose silver garments hung down in the depths of the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest.
“This is definitely not an ordinary magical creature… What kind of Patronus is this?” Snape realized that despite his vast knowledge, he knew absolutely nothing about it.
The silver robe swept across Ravenclaw Tower and penetrated deep into the Black Lake. None of Hogwarts' spells could hinder its hem. With the Patronus's movement, the influence of the Winter Phase that had lingered in Hogwarts was swept away, replaced by a feeling of exhilaration, peace, and joy.
The silver gauze hanging all around danced silently, the silver spirit's clothes fluttered, and it twirled lightly, with a beautiful and bright light gathering above its head, like a dazzling halo.
Qiu Zhang curiously reached out and touched the silver gauze floating around her, a peaceful and serene expression on her face.
Dumbledore released his Patronus Charm and appeared beside Snape at some point. He looked up at the silver spirit that covered the entire sky and sighed after a long while.
"No wonder he was unwilling to release his guardian spirit..."
"Why?" Snape felt he had asked a stupid question, but he still wanted to know what exactly Li Lin's Patronus was.
“That’s a Dementor,” Dumbledore said, stroking his beard.
“Dementors…Dementors?!” Snape’s voice turned shrill, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
The Patronus Charm can evoke the most positive and joyful emotions within, and is undoubtedly the natural enemy of Dementors. How could a wizard's Patronus be a Dementor, and such a large one at that?
“By the way, Dementors should be extinct.” Dumbledore tapped his head. “With Grindelwald unleashing Fiendfire to burn Azkaban, the last Dementor perished in the flames… Therefore, Aatrox’s Patronus should be the last Dementor in the world.”
A moment later, having shown off enough, Li Lin waved his hand toward the sky. The silver spirit whose robes covered the entire Hogwarts quickly shrank in size, becoming as tall as a person, and floated beside Li Lin.
Now, the outline of the Dementor became completely clear. However, compared to its counterparts in Azka's class, its form was more luminous and harmonious. Apart from its face, which was devoid of features and resembled a starry sky, its silver robe was also magnificent and elegant, and it had a radiant halo above its head.
In terms of looks, he could easily crush the Dementors of Azkaban.
"Why don't you put away the Patronus...?" Dumbledore asked, hesitating to finish his sentence.
"Because the Patronus Dementors are really cool." Li Lin answered truthfully. He hadn't finished enjoying the happy memories of releasing the Patronus Dementor for the first time, so naturally he wanted to take advantage of the moment.
"Ok."
Dumbledore nodded. No matter how strange Li Lin's Patronus was, at least he proved his identity as a white wizard. Then they turned their attention to Flitwick, who lay unconscious on the ground.
Without feeling the slightest shame, Li Lin sighed deeply, "The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. The dignified Dean of Ravenclaw was actually beaten up in broad daylight."
Dumbledore, who seemed about to speak but hesitated, looked up at the sky.
125 Sunny and cheerful young man
Flitwick was certainly not trying to scam anyone, nor was he taking advantage of being hit in the head.
In Li Lin's data analysis, Frivi's rank column has been changed back to "Second Imprint".
At the same time, a new tag has been added: "[Long-term madness: Illusion of the Illusion]".
[Prolonged Madness: Becoming Addicted to Illusions]
Light streamed in through the crack. My mind was clearer than ever. The higher I rose, the more I saw.
[A powerful illusion, born of fascination, has seized the mind of this poor man, and he will remain trapped in it until his current madness subsides.]
[Current duration of the frenzy: twelve quarters.]
Since Flitwick neither gained the attention of the Scion nor mastered the promotion ceremony, it can only be said that his failure was inevitable.
Even Li Lin hadn't expected that Flitwick's failure to advance would have such dire consequences. He estimated that Flitwick would be bedridden in St. Mungo's Hospital until he left the Harry Potter world.
After taking Flitwick back to his office for a check-up, Dumbledore had to admit that the head of Ravenclaw needed to be replaced, but with so many faculty and staff, who could become the head of Ravenclaw?
Every faculty and staff member who remained at Hogwarts was once a student at the magical school, but none of them were qualified to become the Head of the Ravenclaw.
Dumbledore's gaze lingered on Li Lin, who was sitting on the sofa by the window in his office, planning to trick Cho Chang into giving him some chocolate frogs to eat.
Snape followed Dumbledore's gaze, his face contorted with deep resentment: "Albus... I don't think you would do that, would you?"
"It's hard to say," Dumbledore sighed, his face devoid of much of a smile. "It might be the only way."
He looked at Li Lin, who was clutching the chocolate frog in his hand: "Mr. Aatrox, I want to discuss something with you."
Li Lin, who had just let go of the box, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth, turned around at the sound. The chocolate frog took the opportunity to jump out of his hand. Li Lin looked at the empty box in surprise and touched his stomach in astonishment.
"Why does this chocolate frog taste bland?"
Li Lin reached into the empty box and took out a wizard picture card. On the picture card, an old man from the East with a somewhat otherworldly appearance was stroking his beard, with a fire dragon sitting on his bottom.
Turning it over, a line of small, gold-embossed characters revealed the wizard's identity.
Zou Yan: An alchemist from China who created the complete Five Elements and Yin-Yang system, and the great shaman who named the fire dragon "Chinese Fireball," was born in the 4th century BC.
"What do you mean by bringing a Yin-Yang master?"
Li Lin said sarcastically, handing the rather precious card to Cho Chang. He then got up and walked towards Dumbledore, standing in front of the desk, thrusting his hips forward, covering his face with his hands, and revealing a wicked smile.
“wryyyyyyy!”
A silver Dementor floated behind him, its illusory robes fluttering.
Startled by this strange combination, Dumbledore carefully chose his words: "...In short, our Professor Flitwick will be unable to serve as Professor of Charms and Head of Ravenclaw for quite some time. Given that we cannot find a suitable candidate in the short term, I will temporarily fill the position of Professor of Charms, and I hope you will take over the position of Head of Ravenclaw."
Li Lin's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand dismissively: "How come I, a Hogwarts school board member and vice-principal, was chosen as the head of Ravenclaw?"
Damn it, without a strong claim to power, I can't hold this position.
Dumbledore, unaware of Li Lin's thoughts, maintained his kind smile: "This is a decision I've made after careful consideration."
"I'm not being modest, I just recited a poem on the spot," Li Lin murmured from the side.
