Harry's Patronus Charm! Snape's Cynicism!

Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor's office.

Harry has been coming to this place every day since his talk with Professor Lupin.

Especially after being attacked by dementors for the second time.

He is a lot more eager to learn the Patronus Charm, unfortunately for him, this ancient and profound spell cannot be learned in a hurry.

"No, it won't work like this Harry!"

Lifting Harry up from the ground again, Remus looked helpless.

"Harry, you need a happier, more powerful memory!"

"Take a good look back in your mind and pick out the memory that you think is the happiest of all."

Harry tossed a chocolate into his mouth.

The happiest memory that comes to his mind?

His eyes gradually widened, watching the candlelight in front of him as he sank into his memories.

Remus approached him cautiously.

"How is it? Did you already think about it?"

"Well, it's just that I don't know if this counts as a memory, but it's the happiest I have."

Harry's words puzzled Remus, but he didn't think too much about it and came back to the wooden box.

"Are you ready?"

Pointing at the wooden box with his wand in hand, Harry nodded with a serious expression.

As the box was opened forcefully by Lupin.

A black figure flew out from inside.

This dementor was actually just a transformed Boggart.

…

At the same time in the Slytherin common room.

Professor Snape and Lucas were sitting on the sofa watching the first year students practice in front of them.

Professor Snape, who was the most cold-faced, was actually a warm-hearted guy.

Sure enough, he was still worried about the little snakes facing the dementors alone.

"Expecto Patronum!"

A first-year little snake confronted the dementor, endured the chill produced by it and the fear in his heart, and released his Patronus.

Although it is only in the state of white mist, it is enough to repel a single dementor.

Unfortunately, the common room is surrounded by Lucas' Patronus so the poor dementor can't escape no matter what method it tries to use.

"Very good, return it!"

Astoria stood by and waved her wand.

Seeing the serious little girl at the moment.

Lucas actually saw his shadow in her, she was clearly trying to imitate his style, even the way she handles her wand is the same.

The last time the stadium was invaded by dementors, Draco, Marci and others took the opportunity to capture two dementors.

It can be regarded as completing the task assigned by Lucas at the beginning of the school year.

These two dementors usually become the targets of the first and second years for their practice of the Patronus Charm.

The rest of the time, they were locked up in the Potions Office and being studied by Professor Snape.

"Expecto Patronum!"

The silver white light once again illuminated the common room.

This is already the last person in the first year group.

Casting the Patronus Charm took a while for the little guy, because he has the same problem as Marci Flint. He is afraid of ghosts, so he didn't dare to face the dementors.

However, with the companionship and guidance of his classmates, he successfully cast the Patronus Charm.

"Very well, everyone has worked hard during this period, and I hope you can understand, after all, the dementors haven't left yet, and they are not far away.

"Nice job first years!"

Lucas nodded in satisfaction, and waved his wand to let his Patronus destroy the dementors.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing two dementors, each rewarding 200 achievement points, a total of 400 achievement points.]

Looking at Professor Snape who was about to leave without saying a word, Lucas asked curiously: "Professor, aren't you going to give them some words of encouragement?"

Snape stopped in his tracks and looked at the students who were staring at him.

"You guys are doing great."

After saying that, Snape walked out of the common room quickly.

After he left, he didn't go back to his office, but walked towards Lupin's office with the wolfsbane potion.

…

Office of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

A loud shout came from inside: "Expecto Patronum!"

Watching his wand glow with a silvery white light, Harry smiled broadly.

Although his Patronus Charm could only form a thin layer of shield, it was enough to withstand the attack of the fake dementor.

Lupin was also all smiles when he saw Harry controlling the Patronus Charm and pressing the Boggart transformed Dementor back into the box.

Then he quickly closed the lid of the box.

"Haha, that's great Harry, I knew you could do it, it's great!"

He was even happier than Harry, who could feel that the Professor was really happy and proud of him and this made him feel very warm inside.

"Thank you, Professor Lupin, I knew this memory would work."

"Oh~ Can you tell me what memory it is?"

Harry nodded and smiled, "It's my parents."

Seeing Lupin's surprised eyes, he continued to explain: "I saw them in the Mirror of Erised in my first year here at Hogwarts."

"I used this memory to cast the Patronus as if they were with me, so I succeeded."

Lupin felt a burst of emotion after hearing this.

Passing the chocolate in his hand to Harry, he invited him to sit on the steps beside him.

"By the way, why haven't I seen Ron coming with you lately?"

"Oh, Scabbers got lost. It hasn't been seen for a long time so Ron has been busy looking for him recently."

"Really?" Lupin nodded thoughtfully.

It's been a few weeks since Christmas and the weather is also getting warmer.

Since the last time he talked to Harry, he went to the Forbidden Forest to find Sirius.

One is to let him know that he needs to stay hidden and can not go to Hogsmeade village again, so as not to fall into the trap.

The second is to discuss what to do.

If things continue as they are, Harry's misunderstanding of Sirius will only get deeper and deeper.

And they are also afraid that Peter Pettigrew will run away again, so the two finally decided to do it as soon as possible.

But they were still one step too late, and Peter Pettigrew was still missing.

The reason why he is said to be missing and not that he escaped, is because the dirty rat would occasionally return to Ron's side.

It's just that the time he returns every time is very short, and all those times are chosen during the busy daytime.

That's why Lupin and Sirius haven't succeeded yet.

Thinking of Peter Pettigrew, who is hiding somewhere at this time, Remus sighed helplessly.

"Professor, don't worry, now that I have learned the Patronus Charm, I won't be as embarrassed as last time."

Seeing Harry's confident eyes, Remus nodded with a smile. Although the boy misunderstood, he didn't bother to explain.

Just at this time, there was a knock on the office door.

Watching Professor Snape walking in quickly, Remus knew that it was time for him to take his medicine again.

Seeing Professor Lupin put the strangely colored potion in his drawer, Harry's gaze became a little worried.

The last time it was not long after drinking Snape's potion that Professor Lupin disappeared.

"Professor, you..."

Harry hadn't finished speaking yet when Snape's deep voice interrupted him.

"What? The famous Harry Potter is thinking I'm going to hurt his beloved Professor with potions?"

Looking at Harry's embarrassed expression, Snape knew he was right.

He looked at the two sarcastically and said: "Mr. Potter, you can rest assured that if I want to harm someone, I will definitely not choose potions."

"Because that would only waste the potion ingredients I worked so hard to cultivate, and I also have to remind you…"

Snape paused, glancing between Harry and Lupin before continuing.

"Mr. Potter, sometimes it's better not to get too close to people you don't know very well, because maybe at any moment, they will turn violent and hurt you."

"In addition, I would like to remind you to use your brain more and recall what you have learned."

Remus was very embarrassed by Snape's words.

He already knew it from Harry and his other students. During his absence, Snape taught the students about werewolves.

He even made the students write essays on how to spot werewolves.

Fortunately, Harry didn't seem to have made the connection.

"Thank you, sir, but who I make friends with and who I get close to is my own business, and I don't think it has anything to do with you, sir."

Snape, who was observing Lupin, turned his head suddenly to look at the boy who was a head lower than himself.

"Hmph! I hope you won't regret what you said today."

Snape shook off his wizard robe, turned and walked out dramatically.

It could be seen from his expression that he was very angry inside.

Remus chuckled a few times and said, "Harry, you should go back too, the Patronus' practice should have made you very tired, right?"

"Go back and get a good night's sleep, just as I'm also preparing for the lecture."

Harry obediently bid farewell to the werewolf professor and turned to leave.

Not long after he left Remus also left the office.

…

Forbidden forest.

Remus stood under the agreed upon big tree and waited for a long time until the unkempt Sirius came to him from the depths of the forest.
