Chapter 233 Patronus Curse
Chapter 233 Patronus Curse
Seeing that everyone was listening to him carefully, Sainz pulled over a few chairs and said, "Everyone, sit down and listen to me explain the principle first, and then practice it later."
The crowd formed a fan shape and surrounded Sainz in the middle. He continued, "This spell is very difficult, far beyond the level of ordinary wizards. Many wizards or witches cannot summon a complete, physical patronus.
Even if someone has completed the summoning of a patronus, it does not mean that he or she will be able to use it every time.
As I said just now, the Patronus reflects a wizard's most positive emotions. If he happens to be in a depressed mood when he is about to cast the Patronus Charm, then he may not be able to cast it. "
“Like with the Dementors?” said Arya.
"Yes, just as Arya said, many wizards can perform the Patronus Charm during normal practice, but when they really face the Dementors, they may not be able to use it due to nervousness or the influence of the Dementors. This ratio can even reach 60 to 70 percent.
Of course, it would be nice if you just practiced a few times beforehand, but unfortunately, some people may not even have a chance to practice safely once in their lifetime.”
"What a shame!" Ben and Adam sighed. They knew that the two that Sainz caught on the train were handed over to Dumbledore.
"Don't worry," Sainz said, "wait until you can really summon the guardian angel before you talk about other things.
We went on to say that the key to casting the Patronus Charm is to focus on the happiest memory you can think of."
"So what's the difference, the happiest and the averagely happy?"
"George, of course there is a difference. Let's not talk about whether you can summon a patronus with ordinary happy memories. If you can, the stronger the happiness brought by the memory, the more powerful the effect of the spell!
This brings us back to the topic just now. Similarly, the milder the happiness, the less effective the spell will be, until the spell fails."
"Sainz."
"Adam."
"I heard that patronuses are animals, is that true?"
"That's true. Generally speaking, patronuses are in the form of animals that wizards are most friendly to."
"Then I must be a Maine Coon cat!" Ben said proudly.
"I'm sorry," Sainz disagreed, "Ben, believe it or not, you won't know what your Patronus is until you actually summon it.
Of course, some wizards don’t want others to know too much about themselves, and they will deliberately hide their patronus.”
"Oh~" Ben said disappointedly.
Fred said, "I heard that wizards with the same or similar patronuses will be attracted to each other, but I don't know if it's true."
"Hey, my twin brother, where did you hear this?" George was immediately unhappy. "You know something that I don't know!"
Fred said jokingly: "Haha, then you have to study hard, brother!"
"Hey, I'm obviously the older brother!"
"You two!" Angelina glared at him.
"Uh... sorry!"
"I'm sorry, Sainz!"
"It's okay," Sainz waved his hand to show that he didn't care. "The rumor Fred just mentioned is not groundless, but there is not a lot of factual evidence at present. According to the limited information I have, there are indeed many couples or lovers whose patron saints are male and female individuals of the same species. Whether there is a causal relationship between them has not yet been determined."
After finishing speaking, Sainz stood up and clapped his hands. "Magic needs practice. It's meaningless to talk more. Let's just practice it."
Ben said expectantly, "Sainz, can you show me first? I didn't see clearly what your patronus was when I was on the train."
Adam pulled him, "Ben!"
Ben was stunned for a moment, probably thinking of what Sainz had just said about some wizards choosing to hide their patronus, "Uh... I'm sorry... Sainz... if it's inconvenient."
"No, Ben, I didn't intend to 'hide' my Patronus. I didn't summon the entity at that time because I needed to do so. In fact, I had already 'publicly displayed' it during the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination."
"Oh! So that's it~" Ben's expression immediately relaxed.
"By the way," Sainz suddenly whispered mysteriously, "I'll tell you a little secret, but I won't admit it once I leave this door!"
Everyone immediately became interested, "Tell me, tell me!"
Sainz whispered, "I can't say anything else, but as long as everyone can summon the Patronus completely and show it in the exam, you will definitely get an "O" in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course!"
"Wow!"
"cool!"
Everyone started to get ready, and Ben said excitedly: "Let's get started!"
Adam said: "Let Sainz show it first!"
"Okay, that's exactly what I want to do." Sainz waved his wand and moved the tables and chairs aside, creating an open space in the center of the venue.
"I'll do it a little slower this time, everyone watch carefully!" Everyone stared at his movements intently.
Sainz cast the spell step by step, drawing circles with his wand while chanting.
A cloud of silvery white smoke burst out from the tip of his applewood wand and gathered above his head like a cloud.
"So beautiful, so pretty!" the two girls said in fascination.
Ben and Adam also nodded in praise, "We were only focused on watching the Dementors that day, we didn't expect the Patronus to be so gorgeous."
"Everyone, what you are seeing now is the primary state of the Patronus. Many wizards will be stuck at this step throughout their lives, and many wizards cannot even complete this."
Seeing that some people showed worried expressions, Sainz said affirmatively: "But this is because those wizards are too careless. I think that as long as the wizards are willing to spend some time and practice, they can definitely do this step."
After hearing what Sainz said, Ben and Alia's expressions looked a little better.
"Now let's take a look at its complete form." As Sainz's thoughts turned, the silver-white flashing steam floating above his head quickly condensed together, and a beautiful "swift" jumped out of it, dancing happily around the crowd.
Sainz did not demonstrate the more advanced applications of sound transmission and deformation, so even though swifts appear to be flying happily, they actually make no sound.
"Is that a swallow?" Angelina said enviously.
Sainz smiled but said nothing, "I have another message for everyone, no matter who your patronus is, there is no need to compare yourself with others!
The size of a patronus doesn't mean anything. Even if another wizard's patronus is an elephant, it doesn't mean he is necessarily stronger than mine.
The size and type just means it is the closest to you, and when facing Dementors or Voldemorts, it is the happy memories it contains that will come into play."
"So that's how it is!" Ben looked at the swallow above his head thoughtfully.
"Okay," Sainz cancelled his patronus, "No matter how much you talk, it's better to practice it yourself. Let's get started!"
Everyone agreed, "Okay!"
