#240 - Chapter 240 Snape: Consider my advice

On Friday evening, Sebastian arrived at the dueling hall early, accompanied by Potions Professor Snape.

Snape stood there, a faint smile on his face.

He'd worn that expression ever since hearing that Harry had defended him in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

The students in Potions class that day felt that Snape's attitude was more gentle.

Watching Sebastian set up the dueling arena, Snape couldn't help but advise him.

"Sebastian, are you really planning to teach the students the Patronus Charm in the Dueling Club?"

"I understand your intentions, but I don't think the students will be able to learn such an advanced spell, not even the seventh years."

As a Hogwarts professor, Snape had a full understanding of the students' level.

To put it bluntly, he thought the Patronus Charm was too advanced and too complicated for the students to grasp.

In the magical world, the Patronus Charm was a sign of an advanced wizard; only wizards with high magical power could cast this spell.

Even among the Hogwarts professors, there were quite a few who couldn't cast this spell.

Besides, this spell wasn't even in the curriculum. Instead of having the students learn this spell, it would be better to have them practice those commonly used spells based on past experience.

"Consider my suggestion. The students could easily spend a lot of time on this spell, but in the end, they still won't achieve anything."

"In that case, the students could easily harbor resentment towards you."

Sebastian turned his head and looked at Snape with emotion, making him feel a little uneasy.

Tsk tsk—

Severus was really in a good mood today.

Otherwise, according to this tsundere's habit, he would definitely use a more sarcastic way to express his concern for a friend.

It seemed that Harry's defense of him in Defense Against the Dark Arts class had pleased him greatly.

Honestly, Sebastian hadn't expected Harry to cleverly defend Snape's image in class without slighting Lupin.

It could only be said that the young man's emotional intelligence had improved a lot compared to the original work.

"Severus, don't worry," Sebastian said with a confident smile, "I have already prepared a special teaching method."

This stubborn swan!

Why so stubborn?!

If I wasn't in a good mood today, I wouldn't bother saying a word.

Snape frowned slightly and patiently advised.

"I'm not questioning your teaching ability. If you really want to teach the Patronus Charm, you might as well select a few talented students and then give them one-on-one instruction."

"That way, the success rate will be higher."

"As for teaching all the students the Patronus Charm in the Dueling Club, it's simply a thankless task."

"Hehe," Sebastian grinned, "That's why I invited most of the professors."

"I'm responsible for teaching the students using special methods, and after they start practicing, the professors will need to contribute."

"It's convenient to have more professors; otherwise, I can't take care of all the students by myself."

"Severus," Sebastian nudged Snape with his elbow, a mischievous smile on his face, "You can't be lazy. Your Patronus is still very powerful."

"Get away from me!" Snape's face turned cold. "I can't cast the Patronus Charm. Let the other professors worry about it."

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to teach, you don't want to teach. Why lie to your brother?"

Sebastian curled his lips: "You just don't want others to know what your Patronus looks like. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you!"

Seeing that Snape was touched on a sore spot and was turning black, Sebastian quickly said.

"Okay, okay, first and second year students don't meet the minimum requirements to learn the Patronus Charm."

"Their magic power is too weak. You'll be responsible for tutoring them in ordinary spells later."

"I won't say more to you. Professor McGonagall and the others are here."

Seeing the professors appear at the entrance of the dueling hall, Sebastian quickly greeted them. He wore his signature smile and greeted each professor.

Professor McGonagall walked in first, smiling at Sebastian, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity: "Sebastian, I'm looking forward to your special teaching tonight."

Professor Flitwick followed behind, short in stature but full of energy, with an extremely excited expression on his face.

He happily waved his fist: "Sebastian, don't worry, I will help you teach the students well."

Professor Sprout followed closely behind, smiling and nodding to Sebastian.

In addition to these regular Dueling Club professors, almost all the new professors came.

Each of them had a different expression. Some had faces full of doubts, while others looked at Sebastian with anticipation.

After all, not everyone could cast the Patronus Charm casually. Among these new professors, some hadn't mastered this complex and difficult spell.

Therefore, when they heard that Sebastian was actually planning to teach the students to cast the Patronus Charm, they were both surprised and curious about Sebastian's so-called special teaching techniques.

If possible, they also wanted to take this opportunity to learn the Patronus Charm.

As time passed, the students arrived one after another, and the dueling hall gradually became lively.

They were all excited, discussing tonight's theme with their companions.

"Wow! What a luxurious teaching lineup! Almost all the professors are here."

"The announcement said that tonight the professor will teach us the Patronus Charm to deal with the Dementors outside the school."

"Haha, once I learn the Patronus Charm, I'll never be afraid of Dementors again."

"Just in time, I'll learn the Patronus Charm today, and go to Hogsmeade tomorrow for the weekend. If the Dementors dare to provoke me, I'll show those ghosts what's what."

"Stop dreaming. We will definitely not learn the Patronus Charm today. You would know how advanced this spell is if you read more books."

"Then tell me, what exactly is the Patronus Charm?"

"It's too complicated, I can't explain it clearly. Let's wait for the professors to explain it."

Seeing that it was eight o'clock in the evening, Sebastian came to the center of the dueling platform, looking around with a smile.

He didn't make too much of a preamble and said straight to the point.

"As you all know, Dementors are extremely terrifying dark magic creatures. When we face them, we often feel powerless and desperate."

"But there is a special magic that can dispel these despairing monsters."

"That is the Patronus Charm!"
