Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

The emergency last night forced them to discuss until late at night. Harry spent the night in Grimmauld Place with Dumbledore's acquiescence, and returned to school in the morning with the help of the Floo network system in the principal's office.

As soon as he walked into the hall, he felt the voices of people: including the always elegant Slytherin, almost no one sat obediently in their seats, they were all looking for their friends or acquaintance circle, even Someone can also be heard shouting across the dining table.Harry was not very surprised by this scene—the dementor's defection had only just begun when Narcissa Malfoy came to announce the news, and it might be possible to save the situation if the Ministry of Magic took immediate measures.But at that time, Fudge and several officials were celebrating their "great political achievements" in recent days. When they woke up from a drunk dream and issued the Auror action order, it was too late—one adult wizard, three How many wizards and wizards who go to school, not to mention those Muggles who don't even know they exist, were attacked that night.Several newspapers and magazines have urgently issued supplements to warn the public, and parents have also sent letters asking their children to stay in school and pay attention to safety.

The professors haven't arrived yet, they are strengthening the defense system of Hogwarts to prevent those evil guys from sneaking in.Harry saw Fred and George trying to set up a simple platform in the middle of the hall.

"Hey, brother." He put his arm on Ron's shoulder and motioned him to look at the twins with his eyes. "What are they doing?"

"How do I know." Ron gave him a blank look, pretending to be dissatisfied, "The business they are doing now is getting more and more strange. Why, you don't know?"

Harry rubbed his head and smiled sheepishly.Since hooking up with Mycroft, the twins' business has expanded beyond prank products.The students who cooperate with them are not limited to the members of the interest group, and more senior students have joined in.For these teens, there is nothing more exciting than starting their own business.And Harry didn't get too involved in those things this semester because of his own concerns.

"Anyway, don't worry about it..." Ron said, stuffing a beef sandwich into his mouth, and muttering, "Would you like a piece? Today's breakfast is very good, but it's a pity that if they don't eat it, it will be wasted." .”

"Because we all feel that finding a solution to the situation at hand is more important than a breakfast." Draco and Blaise rushed over with Goyle and Crabbe, and choked with Ron when they opened their mouths.

"That's not something we can solve in a few sentences."

"So we have to do something." Hermione came to them with a thick stack of books, and Ron stepped aside quickly, lest his head be the first to make intimate contact with them.

Harry glanced at the covers, and found that most of them were about Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he probably had a count: "Hermione, you know?"

"Of course." Hermione took out a light blue notebook from inside, and shook her head at them. I'll go there first. You can read these books for me.

At this moment, Fred had already stood on the stage, cast a megaphone spell on himself, changed his usual hippie smile, and said seriously: "Dear students, I think you all know that the current situation is very serious."

George answered: "The dementors have defected, and many people have been attacked by them. In this case, we should know how to protect ourselves."

Someone asked loudly, "Have you launched any new products against dementors?"

"I'm glad you support our work." The twins blew a kiss to the person who asked the question, and then smiled again, "But as we said just now, the form is very dangerous, and it cannot be solved with one or two protective items Great."

"The Patronus Charm. Only by learning the Patronus Charm can we ensure that we will never be afraid of Dementors again." Hermione stood in front of the stage with her notebook and introduced this special spell to them.

"It's a very good spell. But you also said, 'It's beyond the level of ordinary wizards,' Justin Finriely said carefully, "and we're still students. "

"This question, why don't you take a look for yourself?" Hermione stepped back, making way for a row of senior students.

The prefects of the four colleges and the president of the student union are among them.Cedric winked in Harry's direction, while Percy gave the twins a hard look, seeming rather annoyed at being pushed around by his brother.

They waved their wands and shouted, "Call God's Guard!" Silver animals leaped lightly from the tips of their wands, passed through the crowd, and disappeared.

Everyone gasped in amazement, and a few curious people stretched out their hands to try to touch them.

"That's really cool!" Ron screamed, and then he couldn't help complaining, "But how could they not tell me?"

Draco spread his hands to him, and made a heartbroken expression: "Who made someone sleep so deeply last night, I don't know how many calls were made on the communicator, but there was no response. We all ran away in the middle of the night to contact people."

"I..." Ron blushed, he really didn't hear that.

"It's really hard work." Harry gave Draco a few thumbs up.Before going to bed last night, Sirius hurriedly introduced him the knowledge of the Patronus Charm, knowing that there might not be many students who have mastered it.Not to mention that they had to solicit their consent in one night.

"Haha, that's it." Blaise was still joking with Draco, "Didn't you find that our dear Draco's template image, which can always be regarded as a model of Slytherin, has gone wrong today? Dark circles , dark circles."

The casting of these patron saint spells greatly encouraged the confidence of the children.They all urged Hermione to continue reading the information, and many people even surrounded the senior seniors, wanting to ask them the secret to success in casting spells.For a while, the sound of chanting mantras was endless in the hall.

"Oh, I did it!" exclaimed Dean Thomas, though all he could do was send a puff of silvery smoke from his wand.Immediately, several people cheered.A few seniors even cast vague animal shadows for the first time.

With such intense and exciting learning, the morning time will soon pass, but the children are still unwilling to stop practicing.

Someone said: "I haven't even got the basics out of the fog yet? I'm going to die with a dementor? Let's practice for a while."

"I'm glad you have such a passion for learning about the Patronus Charms, boys." Dumbledore appeared in the hall with a team of professors, "But we still have normal lessons to go on. You have to trust Hogwarts Will provide you with the most solid protection, so..."

"But we can't stay in school forever." Ron abruptly interrupted Dumbledore to support his brothers.

His words were echoed by the students: "That's right. We can't always rely on professors, parents or the Ministry of Magic!" Most couldn't help laughing at the last word.

"We have to rely on ourselves!"

"On their own!"

At the beginning, only Gryffindor was shouting. Soon, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin joined in one after another, and the voices became one in the hall.Snape's frown could kill a fly, but Dumbledore felt extremely relieved - since Voldemort's dark reign, wizards have been in constant panic all day long, although there have been many heroic warriors, but More people dare not speak out, pin their hopes on others, and they even believe that Harry, a child, should and can save the entire wizarding world for no reason at all.But now, his students can cry out "It's up to you!"

"Students, be quiet. Be quiet."

The children still stared at their professors with piercing eyes.

"I have received your determination." Dumbledore smiled, "You can stay here and continue learning spells. And, all our professors will stay here to guide you."

The children cheered, McGonagall and Snape wanted to talk but were stopped by Dumbledore: "But only today. You need to carefully learn the gestures, vocalizations, and most critical spell-casting mentality of this spell within this day Ask questions, and then go back and practice hard. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t succeed, ask your successful seniors, they all took a long enough time to succeed. This kind of spell requires a relatively strong magic foundation, I recommend low Classmates in grades can observe the study of senior grades." As he spoke, he waved his magic wand, and a huge silver phoenix flew out, circling above everyone's heads.

Then another phoenix rushed out, and Harry glanced at their "dear Professor Green", and then listened helplessly to his speech about "everyone's Patronus is different, they can be said to be our inner symbols" related introduction.

But what he said did make the atmosphere more active. The young wizards were imagining the appearance of their future patron saints. They also grabbed the seniors and asked to take a closer look at their "hearts".Then make fun of it.

The professors didn't stop either.After all, the first point of casting the Patronus Charm is to have a happy light and a hope of life, and children laughing in this situation is not really a bad thing.They just walk up and down the hall, correcting the students from time to time.

"Hey, whose owl is this?" someone called out.

"No one admits it?" Everyone looked at each other, pushing and shoving, trying to find the shy guy, "You are so powerful and still avoid us? How boring."

Harry also leaned over and found that the owl had strong wings and particularly well-developed ear feathers. It should be a horned owl.It is the most solid one among the patron saints of all the students. I don't know why no one has seen it before.

Ron leaned close to him and said in a low voice, "Tell me, it's not that Fred and George are playing a prank again. They learned it and refused to admit it."

Harry shook his head, another thought came to his mind, and he turned sideways and asked in a low voice, "Did you only see an owl?"

"Of course. Is there anything else here? Oh, yes, if it's the two of them, they must be together. Who would it be?" Ron looked confused.

"I don't know." Harry's eyes darkened, and he knew he wasn't talking about another owl.

"Since he doesn't want to show up, you don't want to guess here. Practice hard and find your own real patron saint as soon as possible." Grindelwald walked over and drove the students around the owl to while practicing.

"Professor, this..." Harry looked up at him, convinced he had heard correctly: Grindelwald had just emphasized the word 'really'.This could certainly explain the kind of expectations that being a professor has on students, but more likely it means...

"You have a good idea." Grindelwald nodded at him, and asked softly, "Find a chance to untie that package later."

More likely means - that owl is not a Patronus, but a messenger.Only a few people can see its letter, the ghost messenger.
