Chapter 239
Gryffindor Common Room.
A group of young wizards who came back from the West Tower Hall chattered about what they had learned today.
They praised Argus’s teaching very much, and sighed more than once that it would be great if Argus was sorted into Gryffindor.
Harry had returned from the school infirmary and was playing wizard chess with Ron in the common room.
Hearing a large group of people coming into the common room happily discussing today’s lessons, the two frowned at the same time.
Ron mumbled something and didn’t know what he was saying.
Harry recalled that he fainted on the train and was attacked by Dementors on the court.
The idea of learning the Patronus Charm became stronger.
But he didn’t want to lose face and learn from Argus.
Although Argus was the first peer he met in the magic world, with a series of events that happened after the two entered Hogwarts.
Harry’s feelings for him were no longer as pure as when they first met.
But who else could he find if not Argus…
Harry was in a dilemma for a while, and he didn’t even feel like playing chess.
He made mistakes one after another, and Ron ate several of his pieces.
Ron also noticed that something was wrong with Harry: “Harry, what’s wrong with you?”
“You don’t want to learn that Patronus Charm, do you?”
“I… I want to learn, but… but…” Harry hesitated for a long time and couldn’t make it clear.
Ron guessed what Harry meant.
Not only did he not mock, but he smiled even more brightly.
For him, as long as he didn’t find Argus, Harry was his good brother!
Ron thought about it and replied: “How about you find Professor Lupin? I remember that he also used the Patronus Charm on the train! And drove away many Dementors!”
“Professor Lupin!”
Harry was also a little tempted, but then he thought that Lupin hadn’t come to class for a while.
He shook his head at Ron.
“Snape has been teaching Professor Lupin’s class recently. I can’t find him.”
“What professor doesn’t have some personal matters? Let’s go over tomorrow. If he really takes a long vacation, Headmaster Dumbledore would have found a substitute professor long ago!”
Ron saw it more clearly than Harry.
Although he didn’t know what Lupin was doing, he could see that Lupin was just in a hurry.
This was smarter than Harry.
“By the way! Harry, have you finished the homework assigned by Snape!”
“Quick, lend it to me to take a look. I haven’t finished mine yet!”
…
Time flies, and it’s Monday.
Snape is still the substitute for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
After collecting the werewolf homework assigned last time, Snape started to talk about the werewolf problem again.
He even introduced the wolfsbane potion.
During the lecture, he would observe Argus’s reaction from time to time.
After a class, Snape left a lot of homework, which caused complaints from the little wizards.
Fortunately, Lupin returned to class within two days.
And he cancelled all the homework assigned by Snape.
But after knowing the content of Snape’s lecture, the smile on his face was a little stiff.
…
“I heard about your broom. I’m sorry, Harry!”
“Is it possible to repair the broom?”
After learning that Harry wanted to learn the Patronus Charm, Lupin did not refuse.
But he could not provide more help on Harry’s flying broom.
As Harry’s elder, especially an elder who did not help Harry when he was a child.
It is right to give Harry a gift.
He is not Professor McGonagall, let alone Sirius.
He has just become a professor and has to support Sirius, so he has no money to buy Harry a flying broom.
Not to mention the latest model, even the most ordinary one, he has to get it together.
“No more.” Harry shook his head.
“Professor, I don’t understand why Dementors have such a big impact on me!”
“It feels… much stronger than others.”
“Harry, listen!” Lupin explained to Harry seriously.
“Dementors are the most evil creatures in the wizarding world. They will eat all your beautiful, happy feelings and memories.”
“Until you are left with only pain!”
“But there is one thing I find strange, Harry!”
“Please go ahead, Professor!” Harry is not impolite, but he has never shown this politeness to Snape.
“I remember that Mr. Grindelwald, the head of Slytherin, seemed to have publicly taught the Patronus Charm. Why didn’t you…”
Harry had already thought of the answer in advance: “When Argus was in class, I was still in the school infirmary.”
“If I have a chance, I will ask Argus for advice.”
“That’s good.” Lupin didn’t know that Harry was lying.
I thought Harry really thought so, and was very satisfied with Harry’s attitude of asking questions without shame.
“To be honest, Harry, you are not worse thanOther students are bad, and the Dementors have a deeper impact on you because you have experienced many terrible things. ”
“That kind of fear is unimaginable to other students. If you are afraid of it, you are really stupid!”
“Come on, Harry, I will teach you the Patronus Charm. Although I am not an expert in this area, I can barely use the second stage.”
In the original book, Lupin taught Harry the Patronus Charm much later than now, but because of Argus’s large-scale teaching, Lupin did not mind letting Harry get in touch with it in advance.
Take out the wand and start to give Harry one-on-one guidance.
…
“Fudge asked us to help search for Sirius?”
Argus looked at the letter sent by Vita in his hand and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Fingers tapped the table lightly.
This is his habitual action when thinking.
“The Aurors are short of manpower and cannot continue to search in depth.”
“Want the help of the saints…”
“It’s okay to help. Anyway, Sirius has Animagus. As long as he doesn’t do it, he will never be discovered. ”
“Assisting in the investigation can also earn you some reputation.”
“Fudge has now secured his position as Minister of Magic. After the incident with the pure-blood family, Barty Crouch can only compete with Amelia Bones by joining forces.”
“It’s not a good thing for Fudge to be too strong in the Ministry of Magic. The Dementors attack the young wizards at Hogwarts… this is a good excuse.”
“Take this opportunity to make him behave.”
“It can also give Alan a chance to come forward…”
“During the Triwizard Tournament, Voldemort will be resurrected. Before that, we must ensure that Alan is qualified to replace Fudge.”
“The Saint has planted quite a few people in the Ministry of Magic… plus the people he has won over in the Ministry of Magic, even if Barty Crouch and Amelia Bones are kicked out, the Ministry of Magic should be able to operate stably.”
“It’s almost there… it’s almost there…”
“Principal Dumbledore, I hope you like the gift I left for you…”
