Chapter 652: First Meeting After the Holiday

"Why didn't Harry come today?"

On Monday night, a member of the Cat Club asked curiously at the first gathering after the Christmas holiday.

Because it was agreed before that everyone would practice the Patronus Charm after the holiday, and the only one who knew the Patronus Charm was Fish, besides Harry.

"Uh... Harry has to go to Professor Snape for potion lessons every Monday," Hermione said, "so today's Patronus Charm will be taught by Fish."

"..."

There was an awkward silence.

It's not that everyone has no confidence in Fish's teaching ability, but when they thought of the previous special events, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"What do you mean?! Do you look down on Fish?!"

(`н)

The cat, who was waiting for everyone to warmly welcome him, asked angrily.

"How could that be? Fish, you are so amazing..." Qiu Zhang stepped forward and comforted him: "We are worried that we can't keep up with you. After all, you learn any spell very quickly. You may feel impatient by then."

"No way! Fish may have even taught Grawp!"

(`)

Mao Mao raised his chin and said proudly.

"And..." As if to give others confidence, he took the initiative to reveal: "The situation of the Patronus Charm is different. Fish didn't learn as fast as Harry at the beginning."

Everyone was really surprised now. Fish's learning speed was obvious to all. He actually lost to Harry when learning the Patronus Charm?

So their interest was aroused at once.

"The Patronus Charm is one of the most powerful and ancient defensive spells..."

Fish recalled what Professor McGonagall had said at the time and repeated them one by one.

"… Although Minerva said that the power of the Patronus has little to do with size, Fish still thinks that a bigger one is better. Fish's Patronus is particularly big meow!"

(ΦωΦ)

Mao Mao tiptoed and stretched out his arms to gesture: "And Fish's Patronus is not an animal, but a tree meow... Fish summoned it out for you to see!"

With a bit of a show-off mood, Fish drew out his wand.

However, after looking at the height of the Room of Requirement, he shook his head and said, "It's too low here. We have to go to the Forbidden Forest meow... Komi!"

Mao Mao summoned the house-elves and asked them to send all the members of the Cat Club to the Forbidden Forest.

Then he stood in front of everyone, raised his wand above his head, drew circles in the air, and chanted -

"Expecto Patronus!"

(ΦωΦ)つ━☆*.

As the voice fell, Fish also swung his wand and pointed it forward.

A stream of shining silver-white smoke spurted out from the tip of the wand, and then quickly formed a silver-white towering tree... The shape of this tree is a little simple, and it is bare. You need to look carefully to find a few scattered leaves on the branches.

But everyone didn't care about the shape of the tree at this time, because the size of Feishi's patronus was too huge. The size alone could bring a lot of pressure to everyone, and everyone was shocked.

Then everyone's interest in learning became higher. They followed Feishi's teachings, tried to recall things that made them happy, and then waved their wands.

For a while, the shouts of "Expecto Patronus" in the Forbidden Forest came one after another, but just like Feishi and Harry at the beginning, everyone at best sprayed a faint silver-white mist, which soon dissipated.

"Don't lose heart, meow!" Cat encouraged them, "Fish and Harry were like this at the beginning, and they practiced for a long time before they succeeded, meow!"

(`ω)

He thought about it, and shared his experience of exploring different happy memories with everyone.

"...So, you can keep trying different types of positive emotions to see which one works best, meow... Fantasy memories are also OK, as long as they can make you feel positive emotions. For example, Fish imagined that he defeated Minerva at that time. Although he failed, the effect was still good, meow."

Everyone continued to train, and then surprisingly, the first person who successfully summoned a formless Patronus was Neville. Even though he has made great progress in recent times, it still makes everyone feel incredible.

"How did you do it?" Everyone gathered around and asked.

"When I used the Patronus Charm, I thought about the scene when my parents recovered..." Neville touched the back of his head, smiled and answered, and briefly described the situation of his parents.

Since Fish helped his parents get better, Frank and Alice were getting better day by day. Before returning to school, Neville could already communicate with them in a simple way.

Because he saw the hope of recovery, Neville did not continue to hide it as before, but was very happy to share his joy with everyone.

"Ah! I know that thing too!" Another member exclaimed: "One of my distant uncles was in St. Mungo's at the time, and he accidentally broke his wand by sitting on it..."

"Is it Hu En? Fish has an impression of it."

Everyone was curious about Neville's Patronus for a while, and then continued to practice. Neville's success made many people feel competitive, and more and more members released silver-white smoke...

Unfortunately, except for Neville, no one else could stabilize the smoke, and it dissipated after a while.

After a while, Hermione's excited scream suddenly rang out--

"Fish! I succeeded!"

Everyone looked over and saw a fist-sized silver-white smoke floating in front of her. Although it was not as condensed as Neville's smoke, it did not dissipate, and it was flying around her under Hermione's control.

"Hermione, what kind of memory are you using?"

ω

Fish asked curiously.

Hermione blushed and said shyly but boastfully: "Of course it's the memory of when you asked me to be your girlfriend, Fish!"

Then she naturally received the envious and jealous eyes of a group of girls.

Under the stimulation of Neville and Hermione, several members of the Cat Club successfully summoned the intangible patronus, including the Weasley twins and Cedric who had a good level of defense against the dark arts, as well as Luna and Lavender who were not very outstanding, and even Seamus who made mistakes from time to time during training.

This also indirectly proves what Fish said. The difficulty of the Patronus Charm does not lie in how standard the spell is cast, but more importantly, the emotional power when casting the spell.

Soon, this gathering ended with everyone still wanting to continue practicing. Although everyone wanted to continue practicing, time did not allow it, and their mental exhaustion was a bit severe. Even with the help of the cat's tranquilization spell, everyone still felt mentally exhausted.

So Fish called Comey and other house elves to send everyone back.

Then he took Hermione and planned to stay in the Forbidden Forest to play for a while.

"Today is the first time Harry went to Professor Snape to tutor brain occlumency. Let's go back and see how he is doing." Hermione refused reluctantly.

She didn't distrust Snape like Sirius, but out of concern for her friends, and...

She wanted to know the difference between Snape's teaching method and Professor McGonagall's.

Neville's Patronus was not mentioned in the original book or Rowling. The Lion Patronus was made up by netizens themselves and had no actual basis.

Neville's actor Matthew Lewis was tested as a cat on the pottermore website, but it obviously doesn't fit Neville's personality. I think it might be a toad... Or what animal do you think is more suitable?

In addition, the actor who plays Malfoy was also tested as a cat... But I think this is mainly because there are too many cats and dogs on the website. Even if different breeds are counted as one, almost half of them are various cats, dogs and birds.

PS: The first patronus I tested was a snake, and the admission test was Ravenclaw. It is said that it can also test Azkaban, but I didn't try it.
