Chapter 402 Happy Memories
After the chill subsided, Madam Pomfrey immediately stood up and prepared to take a look at the pale students.
But she had just taken two steps when she was stopped by a hand.
"Now is not the time, Poppy. The students can completely withstand this level of impact." Professor Luping shook his head slightly.
Then he looked at the dejected students around him and said half-jokingly: "Don't be discouraged. I didn't expect you to succeed in the first time. To be honest, I would be shocked if you really succeeded."
Professor Lupine said, "I want you to remember the feeling just now, treat everything you see in front of you as a dementor, and then try again with this feeling.
But for those who failed just now, their emotions are not strong enough, and you may need to choose another memory..."
After that, everyone started practicing freely, thinking about the cold brought by the dementors just now.
Professors are among the students and provide guidance when they make mistakes.
Professor Lupine turned around and soon came to where a group of Gryffindor students were, "Harry, how do you feel?"
"I'm fine, Professor." Harry looked a little pale, but also a little excited.
This was the first time that he felt the biting cold brought by the dementors without fainting.
In Harry's opinion, there could be no better state than this.
“Call the gods to protect you!”
In front of Professor Lupin, he waved his wand.
A group of silver-white mist rolled out and condensed into a vague shadow in mid-air.
"Excellent." Professor Lupine said. "You can do this for the first time. You have already surpassed many fourth-year students, Harry."
"Professor, when can we face Dementors again?" Harry asked, "I feel like there's still something missing."
"Now is not the time." Professor Luping shook his head, "Even if you don't face the dementors directly, you can't experience them too many times, just take your time.
Do you remember what I just said? This is a very complicated spell. You have to do it step by step. You are already very good at this level. "
Although Harry was a little disappointed, Professor Lupin said so, so he could only nod his head and said nothing more.
Not far away from them, Cedric also wanted Professor Lupine to open the box again.
The outline of his patron saint is already very clear...the pointed beak, long neck, and wings, every part is very clear, but just a little bit.
It’s like it’s made out of dough. No matter how lifelike the shape is, it’s not real.
He felt that he had succeeded immediately, just missing the last little bit.
If Professor Lupine could have closed the box just a second later, maybe it would have happened.
but now…
Unwilling to be reconciled, Cedric waved his wand again...but the outline was still an outline, with no sign of transformation at all.
“Perhaps you can try a different memory.”
At this time, Professor McGonagall walked over and said: "I noticed that your patronus showed signs of solidification just now, but it collapsed again in the end. Apparently the emotion was not enough."
"Professor McGonagall." Cedric said quickly, "I think I need some pressure. Can you let me face the Dementors again?"
"I don't suggest you do this." Professor McGonagall said, "There are many ways to learn the Patronus Charm, not just the Dementor way."
She did not approve of Professor Lupine bringing dementors into the school, even if they were separated by a box.
But who made Professor Dumbledore agree? Just in case, Professor McGonagall had no choice but to come with him.
Fortunately, so far, everything is pretty normal. Beside Cedric, Kyle was teaching Connor to practice this spell.
She was a little worse than Cedric, but she made rapid progress, and the initially vague shadow soon gradually took on a rough outline.
“How did you do that?” Cedric said in surprise.
It took him a month to achieve this point, but it took Kangna less than two hours.
"Maybe my memories are pleasant enough." Kangna said, "This spell is really magical. Whenever I chant the spell, those memories can provide me with a steady stream of power."
“So simple?” Fred was surprised: “Why didn’t we feel it?”
“What are you thinking about?” said George.
“Many…” Kang Na raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously.
“Received the admission notice to Hogwarts…made the first friend…got the first candy from him…earned the first Galleons…met Professor Snape…
Whenever I need to look for happy memories, they appear..."
“Strange, we are like this too,” Fred muttered in a low voice: “The admission notice, the first Galleons earned…it’s obviously the same, but why isn’t the effect as good as yours?”
“I even thought about the scene a few years later when we had to open the joke shop.” George said, “But the effect was even worse... That was our dream all along!”
“It’s a memory, not a daydream.” Kyle said.
“It really makes us happy to joke about the store,” said Fred. “We even wake up laughing when we dream about it sometimes.”
“It’s different.” Kyle said helplessly, “Imaginary food will only arouse your desire, but it will never make you feel full.
One principle.
What the Patronus Charm requires is to find the most realistic "feelings of fullness" in your memory. "
"real…"
“Feeling of fullness?”
Fred sighed in disappointment, "We thought we found a shortcut..."
"I didn't expect it to be wrong." George said, "No wonder our Patronus Charm is getting worse as we practice..."
After finding the right method, Fred and George gradually became more comfortable with this spell.
Although the improvement is still not as obvious as that of Kangna, it is still better than most people here.
And Cedric waited for two hours, and until the end of the club, Professor Lupine never opened the box again.
“Just learn this much today, that’s enough.”
He clapped his hands and waited until everyone calmed down before continuing: "Although you haven't faced the dementors directly, I still suggest that you all eat some chocolate after you go back... It should make you feel better."
“Professor, when will we come again?” someone asked.
At the same time, this is also a matter of concern to everyone.
“A month from now.” Professor Lu Ping thought for a while and said, “This period of time should be enough for you to digest what you learned today.
From now until the end of the school year, I will open the club once a month. As for the specific time, I will notify you in advance. "
