Chapter 261 Advanced Use of the Patronus Charm

On Saturday morning, Neville did not go to Hogsmeade with others, but came to the Muggle Studies office early.

"Good morning, Professor."

"Good morning, take a seat," Sebastian waved his wand and poured Neville a cup of hot tea, "It's cold, so I won't let you drink Coke."

Neville sat down across from Sebastian and took a sip of his hot tea before looking up at him, eyes full of anticipation.

I can finally learn the advanced usage of the Patronus Charm.

I have waited for this day for too long.

"The patronus," Sebastian went straight to the point, "is summoned by the most powerful positive emotion in the heart of the caster. It is the embodiment of your inner hope and happiness."

“It’s a special power that comes from our soul.”

"In the wizarding world, it is widely believed that only those with pure hearts can cast a Patronus, which is a misunderstanding."

"There are many wizards with bad tempers or corrupt morals who can also release a patronus."

In the wizarding world, Sebastian had actually seen people with corrupt morals release Patronuses.

The most famous of these is the Deputy Minister of Magic, whose patronus is a cat.

To be honest, he had never seen anyone more disgusting than this guy.

In the original book, this guy has a resounding nickname - Pink Toad.

Sebastian stretched out his right hand, rubbed his frowning brows, put away his scattered thoughts, and continued to explain to Neville.

"Only when a wand is infected by dark magic and its soul is corrupted will it backfire when releasing the Patronus. This is because the erosion of the soul by dark magic interferes with the normal operation of the Patronus Charm."

"Although the main function of the Patronus is to resist dark creatures such as Dementors, we can strengthen our positive emotions and will by training the Patronus, and let the Patronus protect our souls from the erosion of dark magic."

So that’s it!

Neville nodded thoughtfully. It was the first time he heard such a statement.

"When faced with the invasion of dark magic, especially those spells that can cause permanent damage to the soul, such as the Cruciatus Curse, the victim's soul is often torn apart."

"These spiritual rifts are very difficult to heal and often cannot be healed with conventional treatments."

"At this time, we can use the Patronus to enter the victim's body, remove the traces left by the black magic, and nourish the wounds to achieve the purpose of healing the wounds."

Neville clenched his wand and asked nervously, "Is this the advanced use of the Patronus Charm?"

"Professor, how can I use the Patronus to achieve this?"

"To achieve this, you need to use special methods to train your Patronus."

Sebastian said gently: "When releasing the patronus, in addition to mobilizing the emotions of joy and happiness, you must also add the will to protect."

"The will to protect?" Neville repeated with a frown.

"That's right. You have to release an extremely strong guardian will and let the guardian spirit transform your emotional power into healing power."

"This technique is very difficult. Intuitively speaking, it is more than ten times more difficult than learning the Patronus Charm."

Ten times harder than the Patronus Charm?!

Is it possible for me to do it?

Neville felt a little frustrated. He really didn't know if he could learn such advanced skills.

Sensing the frustration emanating from Neville, Sebastian stood up, walked over to Neville and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"You have the power to protect others, Neville. Your desire to protect your parents will be the source of your power to successfully perform this advanced use."

"Neville, I believe you can succeed. When you were dealing with the Dementors last night, I already felt your will to protect."

"But you need to spend a lot of time and practice hard."

"Professor Swan, I have always had a question."

"Why do I have to treat my parents?"

Seeing Sebastian's eyes, Neville explained in a panic: "What I mean is, I'm afraid it will take me a long time to achieve this."

"It breaks my heart to think that my parents will be lying in a bed at St. Mungo's for a long time to come."

He raised his head and summoned up the courage to ask, "Can I ask you to help treat my parents?"

"I know you have plenty of Galleons, but I am willing to give you everything I have to repay you."

Looking into Neville's eyes, Sebastian shook his head slightly and explained gently.

"I'm sorry, Neville, your parents' situation is too special, and I am not capable of treating them."

why?

What makes it special?

Neville looked at Sebastian excitedly, expecting him to give a reasonable explanation.

Sebastian sat next to Neville and waved his wand to transform a quill into the shape of a little man.

"Neville, let's think of this little man as the spirit of your parents."

"After being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, their souls were shattered into many pieces."

He waved his wand again, and the little man transformed from the feather pen was shattered into pieces. The pieces were large and small, scattered on the ground.

"If you want to heal your parents' souls, you need to use the power of the patron saint to put those fragments together, and then slowly nurture them to allow the souls to heal."

"The difficulty here is that the soul is the most private thing of a person. When a strange patronus enters their body, it will first cause a rejection reaction from the soul."

"Due to the rejection reaction, many tiny soul fragments will not be able to withstand the powerful force of the patron saint and will suffer devastating damage."

"At that time, it will not be saving people, but harming people."

Looking at the little man broken into pieces, Neville felt a sharp pain in his heart. He seemed to have seen the shattered souls of his parents.

"Let me put it this way. In order to heal your parents' souls, you need a very powerful guardian angel. However, due to the rejection reaction, a powerful guardian angel will cause damage to those tiny soul fragments."

"It is precisely because of these special characteristics that the healers at St. Mungo's are helpless."

"If you want to treat your parents, you have to do it yourself."

Sebastian smiled slightly, "Don't forget, there is a strong blood bond between you and your parents."

"This power comes from deep in your blood. When your patronus enters your parents' bodies, it will not trigger a rejection reaction in their souls."

"On the contrary, their souls will only feel close to you and actively cooperate with your patronus."

"But it's not that easy to put the soul fragments together."

"So what should I do, Professor?" Neville asked anxiously.
