Chapter 353 The Patronus Curse
The first Quidditch match of this school year came to an end without any risk.
The content of the game is actually lackluster.
It took only thirty-two seconds for Rove to catch the Snitch and end the match, so fast that there wasn't even time for a song.
He also broke the length of the shortest match ever at Hogwarts, and what's more, he did it in extreme weather with extremely poor visibility...it was insane.
This record-breaking moment should have caused heated discussions, but no one really cared. After all, it was too insignificant compared to the battle between Rove and the Dementor.
The little wizards saw a real battle, not a performance, let alone a turn-based "duel" among students.
Not long ago, everyone was still talking about how Rove killed Peter Pettigrew.
Many people thought it was due to luck, and some students said it was Auror's help, and he just picked up on the omissions...
But after seeing the scene where Rove defeated the Dementor, no one questioned it.
After all, no matter how powerful Peter is, can he still be stronger than a hundred dementors?
Then came another question, why is Rove so strong?
Both are students, eat the same food, and receive the same seven-year magic education... Why is the gap between people greater than that of humans and dogs? !
Of course, there are also "knowledgeable" little wizards who think that Rove is just playing tricks and borrowing the power of nature to appear so powerful.
As long as they can control lightning like Rove, wouldn't it be fine?
Some students tried riding broomsticks into the sky on a rainy day, but were nearly electrocuted, and no one dared to try again.
Compared with the excitement and aftertaste of the little wizards, Fudge, who came to Hogwarts again, seemed a bit sad.
When he knew that the student was attacked by a dementor, he suffered from myocarditis directly; when he knew that the student who was attacked was Rove, he almost suffered a cardiac arrest.
Merlin, it will affect his official career!
If the news got out, with the love the people had for Rove now, the cursing letters alone would drown Fudge.
Fortunately, Rove was not injured.
Not only was he unhurt, but he also captured two dementors.
Only then did Fudge breathe a sigh of relief, but the dementors broke out again.
The reason is simple, their leader... was captured by Rove!
Fudge is in a bit of trouble. The dementors are the guards guarding Azkaban, and he must rely on them now; Rove has nothing to do with his official career, so he can't offend them.
He could only desperately mediate in the middle.
Of course, the minister still has to give face. Rove promised to let go of the leader of the dementors, but the other dementor has to stay in Hogwarts for the time being for reformation.
As for how to stay and transform it, the students soon learned about it in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Standing in the lecture hall, Sirius placed a large box on the ground.
The students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw became excited, thinking that this time it was another interesting magical creature.
"During this time, we have learned Boggart, Grindylow, and Hinkpunk..." Sirius said quickly, "According to the progress, this lesson should learn how to deal with female ghosts."
"But not long ago, there was a sensational dementor attack." Sirius said seriously:
"Not only me, but also Professor Dumbledore believes that it is necessary to teach you how to deal with dementors."
The students whispered to each other and whispered to each other.
"That's right!" Sirius patted the box and said excitedly: "There is a dementor inside. Scamander captured it not long ago, and he generously gave it to Hogwarts as... a teaching aid!"
Everyone looked at Rove, with an expression of almost fanatical admiration on their faces.
Rove sighed softly. He actually wanted to raise it himself. After all, he caught the dementor with his own ability. Why should he return it?
But this is impossible. Dementors are prison guards in Azkaban, with a system, and they can't be raised by anyone who wants to.
Since he couldn't keep it for a long time, he discussed with Fudge to keep it for half a semester, use it as teaching equipment, and then return it to the Ministry of Magic.
Anyway, in the Honeydukes secret tunnel, there is still a single dementor!
Sirius coughed and continued:
"Before this class starts, we must know why dementors are so scary. Who can tell you...Miss Abbott?"
Hannah shivered and said: "Dementors live by sucking positive emotions from humans, and they will suck away all happy memories."
"That's right, five points for Hufflepuff." Sirius nodded and said:
"When a dementor is ingesting, it also forces the victim to relive their worst memories over and over, which is a horrific experience.
So with a dementor for a long time, the wizard will become melancholy, depressed, and even... crazy! "
"Professor Black, how did you endure the twelve years you were imprisoned in Azkaban?" Susan asked, raising her hand.
The students all pricked up their ears, seeming very curious.
"I don't want to pretend I have a special resistance to dementors, it's the opposite, they affect me a lot."
Sirius was silent for a moment and said:
"I guess... the only reason I didn't lose my mind was because I knew I was innocent.
It wasn't a pleasant thought, so the dementors didn't suck it out of my head.
And that thought was like a fire that ignited in my mind, it gave me strength and supported me to stay awake. "
The students all applauded.
Sirius bowed, drew out his wand, and said softly:
"The spell I'm about to demonstrate and teach you is a very high level of magic... far above the level of ordinary wizards. It's called the Patronus spell, and it's the most effective magic against dementors."
"Of course." Sirius lowered his voice: "You may say that the most effective magic is the thunder and lightning summoned by Rove.
I don't object, but forgive me, I can't give you that magic. "
I saw Sirius pretending to sigh:
"Because I can't tame thunder and lightning, and that magic is beyond my ability... Maybe you can learn it from Rove in private. Whoever learns it must teach it to me."
The students couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, keep smiling, this is also an important strength to deal with dementors." Sirius said softly:
"When the Patronus Charm works correctly, it summons a Patronus that acts as a shield between you and the Dementor.
I must remind you that this spell is too advanced for you, and many adult wizards cannot conjure a complete Patronus. "
Sirius looked around and said: "I don't expect you to be able to do it either, but just spraying out some mist can resist it for a while, and maybe save your life at a critical moment."
"The last thing, you must firmly remember." Sirius' expression was very solemn, and the students held their breath again.
Sirius grinned and said:
"After you graduate, if you really encounter a dementor, there is a high probability that you will commit a crime and be wanted by the Ministry of Magic.
I just hope you get into trouble, and when you use the Patronus Charm, don't say my name and say that I gave you this magic. "
The students were all laughing.
