Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Chapter 117 Fear Comes

Speaking of the Patronus Charm, it should be the most impressive magic in the magic world besides the three forbidden spells, but this magic also reflects the fragility of the magic world.

A lot of magic is extremely targeted, especially Defense Against the Dark Arts.For example, "Funny" is a magic invented solely for "Boggarts", while "Patronus Curse" is a magic invented solely for "Dementors".

Highly targeted magic is like a key that opens a lock. If you happen to have this key, then fine, you will easily solve the problem. If you have a hundred other keys, but you don’t have this one, then you are the one. If you're unlucky, even a small lock is enough to end your life.

People never know what difficulties they will encounter in their lives. If there are a thousand kinds of dark creatures in the world, you cannot learn a thousand kinds of magic to deal with them, and then quietly wait for the difficulties to come.

Many wizards don't learn any defense against the dark arts at all, since they may never need it in their lifetime.Many magic schools do not teach this kind of white magic at all. Instead, they use the method of fighting poison with poison to teach students black magic. Once a dark creature attacks, you can just blast it with a thunderbolt. It is simple and crude.

But no matter what kind of black magic it is, it can't deal with Dementors.

The proportion of wizards who know the "Patronus Charm" is not high. After all, not many people would devote themselves to learning a rather difficult and special magic just to deal with a prison guard.As for Dudley, it happened that he was about to face a duel with the Dementors, and in front of him happened to be a professor who was good at the Patronus Charm.

Lupine looked at Dudley, then at Harry, and finally nodded under Harry's "sincere" eyes: "There's nothing wrong with that..."

"Great!" Dudley was delighted.Just kidding, for ordinary people, the Patronus Charm may not be that important, but he knows very well that his life may be saved by this trick.

Here he couldn't help complaining, whether it was targeting Harry and attacking him in a confrontation, or later almost sucking the fat Dudley dry, the entire magic management organization was completely ignored, as if these monsters were running rampant under orders and could kill at will. Innocent, in the end he directly surrendered to Voldemort.

All in all, the most vicious thing in the wizarding world exists to disgust the protagonists. From now on, wherever Harry goes, dementors will appear.

Lupine took out his wand and explained carefully: "The Patronus Charm is a very profound magic. It is a positive force that represents hope, happiness, and the desire to live. When these emotions are in conflict with your The magic blends together to create a shield that blocks evil...or summons your Patronus!"

"You need to concentrate, think about the happiest things in your heart, and say [Calling the Gods to Protect]!" Lu Ping closed his eyes and tried to recall his childhood memories and his happy student life. After a while, His wand lit up with a silver light, brilliant, dazzling, and then flashed away.

Regarding the principles of the Patronus Charm, Dudley had long been familiar with it. He had also tried it secretly, but the result was the same as many magic spells. He had to be "taught" to him by other wizards before he could use it. Otherwise, he only knew those magic spells. The spells were of no avail.

He pulled out the magic spell, imitated Lupin, and recalled those beautiful memories.

He felt that the memories of his previous life were a little blurry. Whether it was the childhood spent in an orphanage or the military career that he had just entered into the team, most of the memories were not good, and even a little cruel, so he trained hard and devoted all his energy. His efforts far exceeded those of others, and he finally grew into the team's ace.

But his heart is empty, and he doesn't even know what the beliefs are that support him. To say that protecting the country is too heavy, and to talk about self-improvement is a bit self-deceiving.Sometimes, he even felt that traveling to this magical world was a punishment from God.

Finally, he thought of some happy memories. It was a rescue operation. He and his closest comrades fought hard for two days and two nights, and finally rescued more than ten civilians from hostile militants. The rescued children helped He cleaned his wounds and prayed sincerely in front of the statue for a safe life. The feeling of being needed, relied on, and blessed nourished his heart like honey.

However, then he couldn't help but think of the tragic death of the militants who were killed by his own hands when clearing the battlefield, and the grief of his closest comrades who died around him one by one. There was no silver light shining on his wand. Instead, a burst of sparks erupted, almost setting the wand on fire.

Dudley was pushed backwards by this burst of magic, and fell heavily onto the train seat.

Lupine's eyes instantly burst into frightening light. He stepped over with one arrow, moved Dudley's wand aside, and opened Dudley's eyelids with one hand.

Dudley knew that this was a way to check whether a wizard had used forbidden spells. As long as he had killed humans with magic or used black magic frequently, it would leave traces on the body. Some wizards could hide the deterioration of their skin and the yellowing of their teeth. , but it absolutely cannot hide the black spots at the bottom of the eyeballs.

Seeing that the bottom of Dudley's eyeballs was very clean, Lupine breathed a sigh of relief, then patted Dudley on the shoulder and comforted him: "Maybe there is a small mistake somewhere. Don't be discouraged. Try a few more times and you will be sure." It will work!”

This is absolutely a weak comfort to the heart. In fact, most wizards will never be able to summon a patron saint in their lifetime, and it is even rarer to be able to condense it into a specific animal form.

Seeing Dudley's failure, Harry became a little less confident, and his memory was also chaotic. However, the more he wanted to think about some happy times, the more he thought about Sirius killing his parents, and now News of coming to hunt him down.

It was clearly still noon, but the sky outside the car window was already covered by dark clouds as thick as a curtain. The further we drove, the darker it became outside. After passing through a short tunnel, it was already as dark as midnight.

The big raindrops went from pattering to crackling, and finally poured down like a torrent. A bolt of lightning flashed across, and the thunder shook the railroad tracks and the mountain.

In the carriage that was originally noisy and full of laughter, the joyful atmosphere has gradually dissipated. The children looked at the heavy rain outside the window with solemn faces. The dark sky and earth seemed to be filled with countless monsters and monsters.

Even Malfoy, who was preparing to cause trouble for Harry's three little ones with his henchmen, felt uneasy at this time and lost his mood to stir up trouble.

A sharp whistle came from Harry's pocket, interrupting Harry's random thoughts. He took it out and saw that it was the pocket speculum given to him by Ron. Something was wrong. Ron thought it must be broken. After all, considering the source of the product, Ron wouldn't be able to buy a brand new thing as a gift.

"No! It's too late!" Dudley felt a chill coming from outside the carriage, and the hairs on his arms suddenly stood up.

"Hermione and Ron are still ahead!" Harry also felt something was wrong, and he thought of his two good friends first.

Dudley couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Ginny knows you didn't expect that she must be very sad..."

The two of them led Lupine towards the previous carriage, while the train slowed down significantly. With the sound of "squeaking" brakes, the train stopped directly on a high stone bridge in the middle of nowhere. .

The children screamed in fear. Although the monster hadn't appeared yet, many of them had already started to scare themselves.

Dudley rushed into Hermione and Ron's carriage and asked them to hide in a corner. He was still not sure whether the dementors were physical and could pass through walls like ghosts, but he soon had the answer.

A car window not far away was suddenly opened, rainwater splashed in, and the children hurriedly ran away.

The white frost spread visibly from the window to the surroundings, and the coldness poured in like the north wind in winter, making people shiver.

A huge figure wearing a black and gray cloak got into the car through the window and stood in front of everyone.

"Dementors!" Lupine's eyes widened in shock. He glanced at Dudley, but he didn't expect him to say it accurately.
