Chapter 374: Learning the Patronus Charm is Rejected

Where Dumbledore is, there seems to be a calming power.

Many people don't understand what happened at the press conference, why the scene here seems to be about to collapse...

But as long as Dumbledore is on the scene, they seem to have found the backbone.

Many wizards have countless doubts in their hearts, but with Dumbledore on the scene, they barely suppress the anxiety in their hearts and listen attentively to Lin Xia standing on the podium, explaining the creative ideas of "Cold Pill" and "Voice Guardian".

Lin Xia stood on the podium calmly and talked and laughed with the scholars.

Although the venue was somewhat damaged, it did not affect the use of spells such as projection.

Since Dumbledore appeared in this space, the venue seemed to be pulled back to reality from the alien space, and the magic power naturally surged in, and it was no longer as difficult to absorb as before.

And she discovered something during the explanation.

The press conference site was not blocked by closing the door, and people from outside could still come in continuously.

After she had been explaining for 20 minutes, other scholars hurriedly pushed the door and walked in. Lin Xia also saw some goblins.

There was a house elf that was very eye-catching, and his appearance also made many wizards look at him.

This house elf was dressed meticulously, wearing an exquisite suit, but the style of the clothes was already the style of the last century, and there was a feeling of being poor and being picky but wanting to save face.

Just like those impoverished nobles.

Obviously, the wealth has been squandered, but they would rather sell their property to maintain the exquisite life in the past.

Soon, the paper conference ended successfully.

With Dumbledore there, no problems occurred afterwards. The dozens of corpses of Death Eaters who could never recover seemed to have never appeared.

After the conference.

Lin Xia greeted the scholars who came one by one and exchanged business cards with each other. Everyone expressed their willingness to communicate with her and hoped that she could write a letter.

Lin Xia agreed to all of them for the sake of face and said that she would write when she had time.

Finally, the house elf came over and handed her a business card.

This business card impressed Lin Xia very much, because it was the business card of the Black family, but the house elf used the name of a man called "Regulus Black".

The house elf was called Kreacher, and he said respectfully: "The Black family has always liked to sponsor talented scholars from ancient times to the present. I hope that witch Lin Xia can consider the Black family."

Lin Xia glanced at the business card and suddenly said: "Excuse me, I remember that the current heir of the Black family is Sirius Black."

Kreacher's expression turned pale in an instant, and his body trembled. After a while, he said: "Yes."

Lin Xia narrowed her eyes slightly: "So, in whose name are you coming to see me? Can you represent the Black family? Sponsoring such a serious matter, let your master tell me in person."

"Lin Xia!"

Harry and Ron came over and asked her when she would go back.

Lin Xia said, "After talking to the last guest, I can leave."

At this time, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts did not leave. They all stayed in the Ministry of Magic. There were always some things that needed to be dealt with.

Harry asked in confusion: "Guest? There is no one in front of you."

Lin Xia turned her head and found that Kreacher had disappeared at some point.

Lin Xia said, "It's gone. Didn't you see it just now? It claimed to be the house elf of the Black family."

Harry's eyes widened slightly, and he said excitedly, "Did I think of that Black? Its owner is-"

"No." Lin Xia interrupted, "Its owner is not Sirius."

Harry's regret was beyond words.

...

After the paper conference.

The professor also quickly solved the problem, walked out of another room, and properly arranged for all the little wizards to take the express train back to Hogwarts.

Until they got on this train, many little wizards suddenly came to their senses and felt that they were listening to a fake conference.

"How much did you understand when Lin Xia was speaking on stage?"

"Thank you, I know every word she said, but I don't understand anything when they are put together."

"What a coincidence, I do too, you are not the only one."

George and Fred came to find Lin Xia specifically to interview her for their "Hogwarts New Style" magazine.

George: "What always inspires you to research?"

Lin Xia: "I have endless curiosity about everything."

Fred commented as he wrote: "Standard public answer for good students."

George: "Has the next item been determined? Can you reveal what it is?"

Lin Xia: "A new type of wand."

This made the twins very curious.

Whether it is "cold pills" or "voice guardian", they are too far away from the knowledge that little wizards can access, but they still understand wands.

George asked excitedly: "Are you going to improve the wand to be more compatible with wizard attributes?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "I can't tell you yet. I can only answer you that it's not what you think."

Fred commented: "If this news gets out, it will definitely cause some newspapers to go crazy. They will send many reporters to interview you."

Lin Xia smiled and said, "So I will only give you exclusive information. I believe you will protect this source of information, right?"

The twins' eyes flickered slightly, and they looked at each other, and they saw excitement in each other's eyes.

What they like most is exclusive business!

No one competes, and they can set prices freely!

After a lot of effort, the Weasley twins left, and the box where Lin Xia was finally quiet.

Ron looked at the others. He had been distracted since the press conference.

But the other friends were not necessarily better than him. Everyone was a little dazed.

Ron hesitated for a few seconds and asked in a low voice: "Do you remember what happened before the press conference?"

In a flash, the other little wizards turned their heads to look at Ron, and the enthusiastic eyes scared him.

Hermione noticed the movement on the field and felt relieved, as if she was being held back. She said quickly:

"So you all know, I thought I was the only one who retained the memory before the press conference!

Are those Death Eaters really dead or faking death? And why did the wizard who was lying on the ground come back to life?

And, did the Death Eater with one wing escape in the end? I noticed that Dumbledore's face was not good when he checked the ashes."

Harry also breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I was the only one who retained the memory, but it turns out you all did."

Draco said thoughtfully: "But my parents don't seem to know what happened before. I tried them, and they thought I I was asleep and dreaming at the time."

Ron: "Yes, many people don't know. Aren't there Mikkel and Neville around us?

I mentioned it to Neville, and Neville's eyes were blank. He asked me what those things were?

How do I know what they are? I just asked him if he remembered them, and he said he had no impression at all!"

Lin Xia concluded: "So we are special. Headmaster Dumbledore has preserved our memories."

Harry: "Why don't we ask the professor?"

Draco immediately rejected it: "What if the professor doesn't have this part of the memory? Seeing that we ask strange questions, he keeps asking us what to do. Have you found a way to deal with it?"

Harry... Harry has no way.

Lin Xia said: "Don't guess. Dumbledore may find us again later."

But this time even Lin Xia guessed wrong. Dumbledore didn't find them, and the professor didn't find them either.

Everyone was silent.

If it weren't for the friends around them who kept that memory, they would even suspect that the memory was just a dream and they had a nightmare.

Seeing that Hogwarts was quiet and calm after the press conference, Lin Xia hurriedly urged them to practice the Patronus Charm.

She herself also spent a lot of effort on this spell.

The Patronus Charm belongs to the field of geniuses. Only a small number of wizards with top magical talents can learn this spell.

It is very picky about the qualifications of wizards.

Even the learning process is untraceable.

They were clearly reciting according to the standard movements and standard language in the book, but they just couldn't use it. They had thought about happy things countless times in their minds.

So everyone studied together.

Ron's idea was very simple.

"Since the movements and language are not wrong, it means that my mind is not firm enough, and the content in my mind is not happy enough, so I can't attract and play the Patronus Charm."

Hermione retorted: "I don't think so. The book says that you only need to think about happy things. Everyone has a different definition of happiness. I smile unconsciously when I think of those things. The emotion is enough."

Harry and Draco both stand on Hermione's side.

In the end, they discussed fruitlessly and looked at Lin Xia again.

Logically speaking, even the dark magic could not stump Lin Xia, and no matter how powerful the Patronus Charm was, Lin Xia should not be unable to cast it.

Lin Xia thought for a while: "I think our method is not right, we should seek external help."

But which professor can tutor them so much?

Wizards are not willing to work overtime for free!

Besides, they are so young, even if they find a professor, the professor may not be willing to teach.

Draco gave a reason: "The Patronus Charm is an advanced spell, and it should not be learned by students. We need to find a professor who will not question that we can't learn it."

Professor Snape is impossible, it's good that he doesn't mock them.

Professor Sprout is better at planting, even if he encounters danger, he will use his position to overcome the difficulties, and he will not help them.

Professor Flitwick is listed as a candidate and can be contacted.

Professor McGonagall is too serious and pays the most attention to rules. It is difficult to ask her to help with other things except for Transfiguration, so she is listed as the second candidate.

After the discussion, the young wizard went to contact Professor Flitwick first.

Lin Xia and others guessed that the professors had not been cleared of their memories before the press conference.

So after returning from the press conference, even Professor Flitwick, who had been teaching according to the schedule, began to jump to offensive magic, hoping that the young wizard would learn several common offensive magics to be able to rely on when encountering danger.

But the effect was not ideal.

The harm of some offensive spells was not as good as the evil spells that the young wizard was used to using.

But evil spells can only strike unexpectedly, and the only thing that can really cause harm to people is offensive magic.

This class teaches "Obstacles", followed by "Broken to Pieces".

Obstacles is more defensive and a little difficult to learn. As for Broken to Pieces, it is an intermediate spell and even more difficult to learn.

They have taken two classes in a row, but many young wizards have not made any progress.

After class, Lin Xia and others went to Professor Flitwick's office.

Professor Flitwick was very kind and amiable, and he did not put on airs with young wizards. When they went there, they were surrounded by young wizards from several colleges.

Most of them were from Ravenclaw Eagle House, and a few were from Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Ravenclaw students like to discuss problems with Professor Flitwick, or the kind of academic problems that restore the essence.

Lin Xia listened for a while and felt that if she had not appeared as a variable, then Ravenclaw should have been the place with the most research talents.

Hogwarts's divisions are not random.

The Sorting Hat brings together young wizards with the same characteristics. Because of their similar personalities, these young wizards can easily get together and become friends.

A good atmosphere will gradually form.

Influenced by the atmosphere of the college, the young wizards will unconsciously become motivated and show the characteristics of their college.

Ron was a little impatient and kicked his legs, making some noise.

He immediately became honest after being glared at by Hermione.

Finally, after other young wizards had finished asking questions, Lin Xia and others gathered around.

Professor Flitwick was a little surprised to see them, and said happily:

"It's rare to see you come to me. Have you encountered any research problems and need my help?"

Lin Xia said: "Professor, we do need your help, but it's not about research, but about a spell."

Professor Flitwick listened patiently.

Lin Xia said, "Do you know the Patronus Charm? We want to learn it."

Professor Flitwick was stunned for a moment, "Patronus Charm?"

He shook his head: "This is not an advanced spell that you little wizards can learn. This spell is very talent-oriented, and the most perfect talent of little wizards is in adulthood. I suggest that you start learning it as an adult."

Lin Xia insisted: "Professor, we want to learn it in advance."

Flitwick solemnly said: "You may become very dangerous. The backlash of forcibly learning advanced spells is very serious."

It's like a person who is powerless. If you suddenly ask him to pick up a hundred kilograms of axe, he can't lift it.

Even if he struggles to pick it up with one breath, it will only hurt his body.

And it's just picking it up, it can't be used at all.

Flitwick told the little wizards the dangers with a simple description, refused to teach them, and said:

"I hope you can think about it carefully again. If you still want to learn, you can find me at the end of the term." (End of this chapter)
