Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"How? Did it work?"

As soon as he came out of Snape's office, Ron and Hermione, who were waiting outside, immediately stepped forward to surround him and asked him chirpingly.

Harry shook his head in frustration.

"Maybe I'm too stupid." Harry lamented, "Oh my God, the Patronus Charm is really difficult!"

Ron and Hermione looked at each other. They both knew what it meant that Harry couldn't learn the Patronus Charm, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort him.

The three little guys returned to the Gryffindor common room. Harry was gloomy all afternoon.

Harry sat there in silence, Ron and Hermione keeping him company.

At night, Harry quietly climbed out of bed, put on his invisibility cloak and left the Gryffindor common room, wandering in the empty corridors.

Thanks to the effectiveness of the invisibility cloak, Harry has figured out the patrol routes of Filch and Mrs. Norris, and he can effectively avoid them.

At the end of the corridor was the fir tree that Hagrid had placed during the day as a Christmas decoration.

The banquet hall downstairs was filled with holly and mistletoe, and the special hanging ribbons they formed created a Christmas atmosphere.

Twelve green Christmas trees were placed in the room, with icicles condensed by magic hanging on the trees. Some trees were decorated with dozens or hundreds of candles, illuminating the banquet hall brightly.

Harry walked slowly and arrived at the library unknowingly.

Maybe I can look for books on the Patronus Charm in the library and practice it.

Harry thought so and walked into the library.

Rows of bookshelves passed by, and before he knew it, he entered the restricted book area.

The restricted book area was filled with books that could only be read with the approval of the professor. They had never been here before.

Harry took out the oil lamp and lit it. The dim light of the oil lamp dispelled a small part of the darkness. He held the oil lamp and continued to search.

Soon, he stopped.

A name caught his attention.

Miranda Gorshak?

Harry remembered that their textbook "Standard Spells" was written by this person named Miranda. Maybe he would have different comments on the Patronus Charm.

Thinking like this, Harry put down the oil lamp, picked up the book written by "Miranda Gorshak", and leaned on the bookshelf to read it carefully.

He quickly immersed himself in the book, which contained many tips for releasing Guan Yu's magic, which opened his eyes.

Harry turned the pages of the book, and the title of the next page caught his eye.

Patronus spell!

Harry was refreshed and began to read carefully.

“…this ancient and mysterious spell summons a magical patronus that is a reflection of all your most positive emotions.

It is very difficult to use a Patronus Charm, and many wizards and witches are unable to conjure a complete, physical Patronus, which usually takes the form of the animal with which it has the greatest affinity.

You may not believe it, but you never really know what your Patronus looks like unless you actually summon it..."

In fact, the book is no different from Professor Snape's. Even Snape's explanation is more detailed and more in line with Harry's own situation.

But there was no Snape standing around at this time, and Harry felt that the description in the book gave him some new insights into the Patronus Curse, and he began to understand things that he had not been able to figure out before.

"Call God to Guard"

Harry fumbled with his wand and shouted softly.

Wisps of silvery white light emerged from the tip of the staff and spread in the air, like a thin silver gauze. It was also like the stars in the sky, dazzling and intoxicating.

"I finally succeeded!"

Harry couldn't help but cheer.

With this cheer, the patron saint spell was interrupted, and the silver light in the air turned into dots of silver flashes and dissipated.

At the same time, he suddenly covered his mouth.

Got it!

Only then did he remember that this was not Snape's office, he was in the library!

"Who's there!"

Sure enough, Filch's roar came from outside.

Harry quickly blew out the oil lamp, stuffed the books randomly back into the bookshelf, put on his cloak and ran outside.

At the door of the library, he almost collided with Filch. Fortunately, Harry was thin and flexible, and he ducked out from under Filch's arm.

Running out of the library, Harry ran wildly.

Harry, who was in a panic, finally stopped in a narrow corridor.

He had just been disturbed by Filch and was running away without paying attention to where he was running. He lost his way in a panic and the Christmas decorations had changed the original layout. At this time, he could not identify where he was at all. where.

He did know that there was a corridor over the kitchen that was similar to the surrounding layout, but he vaguely felt as if he had been climbing up the stairs and never walked down at all!

Thinking this, Harry was so nervous that he pressed his whole body against the wall behind him. No matter where he was, Filch must know a faster shortcut, because Filch's slimy voice was getting closer and closer.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer to him, Harry seemed to have roots under his feet and stood motionless.

His eyes widened, and he stood frozen on the spot, looking to one side through the invisibility cloak.

The corridor he was in was not wide, and if Filch continued walking forward, he would be hit.

An invisibility cloak can make people invisible, but it cannot make people disappear directly.

"Professor, there are students wandering around at night in the restricted area of ​​the library."

Filch's voice came again.

Harry paced anxiously.Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He stepped back step by step, trying not to make a sound. Opposite the tapestry where the troll beat the stupid Barnabas, a smooth door appeared. This was his only hope.

"Okay, I know."

Some familiar voices sounded from around the corner.

He must hurry up, and hurry up!

Harry, sweating nervously, moved towards the door.

Thank God he finally made it into the room.

"I'll go here, you go over there and have a look. Maybe it's a naughty student."

Around the corner, a drunken Alexis dismissed Filch and stared at the empty narrow corridor with bright eyes.

His bright eyes quickly fell on the tapestry.Alexis took a step forward and walked over.

In the room, Harry leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. He could still hear his heart beating, thump thump, thump, thump, very fast.

It wasn't until the footsteps outside disappeared that Harry began to pay attention to the room where he was hiding.

It looked like an abandoned classroom.Tables and chairs were piled randomly on one side, showing a dark shadow, like a twisted monster, baring its teeth and claws at him.

There were some strange utensils scattered on the ground, including crucibles, centrifuges, and some things he didn't recognize.

On the wall facing him stood an ornate mirror, which was incompatible with the overall arrangement of the room.

It was a very imposing mirror, reaching as high as the ceiling, in an ornate gold frame, and supported by two claw-shaped feet.On the top is engraved a line:

“wangyuandezhongxinnishierliandenishibudechuzhaowo”

Now that neither Filch nor the familiar voice could be heard, Harry's nervousness relaxed.He slowly approached the mirror to take a look at his own image, but the mirror was empty.He took a few steps closer and stood in front of the mirror.
