Chapter 388 Establishing a Club

Dementors broke into the school without any warning, making Dumbledore furious. He didn't expect that he just went out for a day and this happened.

After receiving this news, Dumbledore immediately dropped what he was doing and went to the Ministry of Magic to find Fudge.

No one knows what the two said in the minister's office, but by Monday, most of the dementors stationed at Hogwarts had been transferred back, leaving only the last dozen or so who were still there where necessary. entrance.

In addition, there was no report on this matter in the Daily Prophet, as if nothing had happened.

But the students at Hogwarts didn't know this, and no one noticed that the number of dementors had decreased a lot.

After the weekend, the castle was still noisy and busy. The only change was probably that Harry's broom was broken.

But apart from the Gryffindor students, not many people cared about this.

And Kyle... the dragon scale badges have become popular again. The inventory that Raton had just delivered within a few days was wiped out, and most of the more expensive dragon tooth accessories were sold out.

But these are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning.

The first period in the morning is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Professor Lupine didn't look in good spirits. His robes were loose and he had dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he hadn't slept for several days.

But after the students came in, he still smiled.

"Today we are going to learn a very useful trick, the Search Charm."

Professor Lupine said in a very weak voice: "Using this spell can easily find those creatures hiding in the dark, or items with magic, making them invisible.

If you are in an ancient ruins or a dangerous jungle... it is undoubtedly crucial to know what is around you in advance.

It allows you to avoid hinkpunks hiding in the water in time, and also allows you to be alert to the evil birds in the treetops.

Now, everyone, take out your wands..."

According to the original plan, Professor Luping was going to take an outdoor class with the fourth graders. As early as two weeks ago, he had prepared a large open space at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where the students would use the search spell to find out Hidden among them are Bowtruckles and fairies.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. He definitely didn't have the energy to take the students outside the castle now, so he could only practice spells and gestures in the classroom first.

"Let's wait until the next class." Professor Luping thought to himself.

But after getting used to Professor Lupine's rich and interesting class content, simply practicing magic spells seemed a bit boring.

Moreover, the search spell is different from other spells. Without a target, it is difficult to see whether what you are doing is correct.

After about half a class, the students began to feel bored, and the chanting and gestures gradually became perfunctory.

"professor……"

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Do you know about Dementors?"

Everyone suddenly became energetic and looked at Professor Lupine with burning eyes.

This topic is obviously more interesting than boring waving a magic wand.

"Of course, I know." Professor Luping said, "Although I was not in school that day last Saturday, I also learned what happened from other professors.

Dementors are one of the most evil things in the world, they suck every good emotion, every happy memory...

Those who stay with them will soon go crazy, until they become just like them, soulless and full of evil. "

"Then why do Dementors go to the arena?" someone asked.

"I think I'm hungry."

Professor Lupin said calmly, "The excitement and high emotions around the Quidditch pitch are undoubtedly a feast for the Dementors."

"Professor, can you teach us how to resist it?" Another student said: "It's the Patronus Charm that can transform silver animals."

"That's very difficult. You won't learn it until you are in seventh grade."

Professor Lupine glanced at him and continued: "And Professor Dumbledore has solved this matter. Don't worry, those dementors will definitely not dare to enter the school again in the future."

"But Professor, there will always be times when the principal is away." The man said, "Just like last Saturday, if the dementors suddenly broke into the castle when the principal was away, we must have some ability to protect ourselves."

"This..." Professor Lu Ping frowned, "But this is seventh grade content. Is it too early for you to learn it now?"

"No problem, Professor." Kyle suddenly said: "We can definitely learn this spell, I promise."

"Yes, yes." Mikel said quickly: "Kyle has already learned it, so we must be fine."

Professor Lupine opened his mouth. He wanted to say that Kyle was just a special case and could not explain anything, but he swallowed the words again.

“There is not enough time,” he said. “If you want to learn the Patronus Charm, in addition to accurately controlling magic power, you also have high requirements for controlling your emotions. It cannot be learned in half a class.

But if it takes too long, it will delay your final exams, or even your fifth grade O.W.Ls. Let’s wait until you are in seventh grade. "

"But, professor, can you teach us to seventh grade?" A weak voice came from the corner.

Professor Lupin found out awkwardly that he really couldn't do it, because the employment letter Dumbledore gave him only had one year.

Of course, he was not the only one like this, all the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors had one year.

According to the gossip among the professors, there was a pile of such employment letters in the principal's office, as many as the admission letters for freshmen, and when they were needed, they could just write their names on them.

I don't know if it was true or not...

Seeing that Professor Lupin didn't speak, there was another round of discussion.

"Professor, I really want to learn this..."

"We promise to study hard..."

"Even if we have to write two rolls of parchment in the future... um..." He was covered by someone beside him before he finished speaking.

This really won't work.

"If you are worried about not having enough time..." At this time, Kyle said again: "You can learn from other professors and start a club of your own."

"Club?" Professor Lupin lowered his head, thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.

"Yes." Kyle said, "I believe that after what happened last Saturday, many people in other grades must want to learn the Patronus Charm...

"It's always a good thing to learn one more spell. As long as you gather all those who want to learn this spell together in the name of the club, you only need to spare two hours a week."

Professor Lupin thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully.

"The club is indeed a good idea, and it won't interfere with your normal study time... But if seven grades participate together, won't the number of people be a bit too many?"

He frowned slightly and said, "And Hogwarts probably can't find such a large classroom."

"Of course there is, isn't it the Great Hall?" Kyle smiled and said, "You probably don't know yet. Last school year, Professor Lockhart applied to the principal to set up a duel club in the Great Hall. At that time, almost all students participated.

They are all Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. If he can do it, you can do it too."
