Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Professor Lupin glanced at them, a little surprised: "What do you want from me?"

Lin Xia glanced at Snape.

Snape snorted coldly, and his arrogant voice sounded: "It seems that Ms. Lin Xia does not want me to participate in your discussion."

He said slowly: "But I have to say that it was a mistake for you to come to see Lupin.

There are so many excellent professors at Hogwarts for you to choose from, and you chose a professor who just joined this year. I can't believe your vision. "

The other young wizards turned slightly pale after being scolded by Snape. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the professor.

They thought to themselves, Snape was indeed Snape, he didn't give face to his students, nor did he give face to his professors.

Only in front of the deans of other colleges would he stop his sarcasm and ridicule, and at most turn himself into a picky guest.

But at least I'll give you some face.

Lin Xia suddenly smiled gently and said calmly, "Professor Snape, our vision is indeed not as good as yours."

The other little wizards couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Xia out of the corner of their eyes.

Lin Xia: "At least we don't have X-ray vision, and we can't see through other people's future. We can't tell how dull Neville's talent is, and what kind of spells he can't learn. That's why you need to go to other professors to remind them that Neville's talent is not good."

Now it was Professor Snape's expression that looked very ugly.

He glared at Lin Xia fiercely, but said nothing more and walked quickly outside.

When passing by the little wizard, Lin Xia vaguely smelled a strong smell of medicine coming from him.

Lin Xia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

This medicinal smell is a bit like that of traditional Chinese medicine, or the smell of some kind of ointment for bruises and swellings, mixed with borneol, musk, etc.

Many of her medicines that aid her physical practice are made of Chinese herbs, so she is particularly sensitive to the aroma of Chinese herbs.

"Okay, little wizards, this time you can tell me what you want from me."

Lupin sat down, spread his legs, and lolled over the back of the chair, looking a bit like some large canine.

His expression was gentle.

Harry thought that it was because Lin Xia had just confronted Snape, which made Snape leave with a pale face.

While other professors looked grumpy, Professor Lupin was very happy.

Lin Xia didn't say hello and directly stated her purpose.

"Patronus Charm?"

Lupin was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly want to learn this advanced spell?"

He did not participate in the press conference, and the professors who returned from the press conference did not seem to tell the professors who did not attend the conference.

So Professor Lupin knew nothing and didn't understand the little wizard's anxiety.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, “Professor, I am an excellent student and I have to patrol the corridor every night.

I often see Dementors floating around outside the window, and there is a high chance that I will encounter some unusual and strange phenomena.

I want to learn the Patronus Charm so that I can protect myself at critical moments."

Hermione and Draco were also excellent students, and they immediately applied Lin Xia's reasoning.

It's all for my own safety that I want to learn.

Professor Lupin nodded and turned his attention to Harry and Ron.

He wanted to know the reasons of these two students.

Ron hesitated for a long time before saying, "Well, I feel that I am unlucky and always encounter some bad things, so I want to learn an advanced spell."

The more he spoke, the more certain his expression became.

No matter whether others believe it or not, at least he believes it.

Harry blinked. He, he...

He opened his lips slightly, wanting to say something, and suddenly Professor Lupin said, "Okay, Harry, I know what your reasons are. You are more vulnerable to threats than other wizards, and I agree that you should learn the Patronus Charm."

He bent his fingers, tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, and murmured:

"Since Professor McGonagall recommended me to you, then in her mind, you must all be qualified to study.

Then I will skip the part of verifying whether you have the qualifications to learn the Patronus Charm and get straight to the point."

He is a man of decisive actions. Once he makes a decision, he will not hesitate and will teach them on the same day.

Lin Xia always felt that Professor Lupin agreed too readily.

Both Flitwick and Professor McGonagall thought for a long time before giving an answer after hearing their proposal.

But Professor Lupin agreed without hesitation.

It seemed as if he had always wanted to teach the little wizard this spell.

Professor Lupin's voice came slowly: "You have searched the effect of the Patronus Charm, and you must know what power this spell is activated by.

The spell requires you to call up warm, happy, and joyful memories. Tell me, what kind of memories do you think are happy and joyful? "

Professor Lupin is recognized by the young wizards as a professor who can teach students in Hogwarts.

Under his guidance, even Ron, who was always distracted, got into the mood and participated in the discussion seriously.

Ron: "I think being able to eat a lot and spend a lot of gold galleons on things are just happy memories. I have had similar experiences and they make me feel very happy."

Hermione: "For me, it's great to have lots of books to read."

Draco thought for a while and said, "When I win a battle against someone, I feel very happy."

Lin Xia said: "I am very happy when I solve each research problem."

Finally it was Harry's turn.

Harry thought for a long time and said, "I was happy when Quidditch caught the Golden Snitch."

Before answering the professor's questions, they thought deeply and selected their happiest memories.

This is the conclusion of an idea.

When they were practicing the Patronus Charm alone before, many happy memories came to their minds.

But these are fragments.

As long as it makes them feel happy, they will recall everything all at once, without any system, just going with the flow, whatever ideas come to mind.

With the answer to this question, they finally decided on their happiest memory.

Lupin asked, "Very good, the ideas you chose are all good, but aren't they all unable to perform the Patronus Charm?"

The little wizard couldn't help but nodded.

They never succeeded once.

Once they succeed, they will never look for a professor to teach them.

Lupin smiled and said, "I think I know where your problem lies. Have you noticed that your happiest memories are when you were happy alone, without anyone else participating in the fun?"

Seeing that the little wizard was still a little confused, Professor Lupin said bluntly: "Your thoughts are too lonely, and the content of your thoughts is too thin, and your emotions of happiness and joy are not rich enough."

He paused for a long time, giving the young wizard enough time to think, before continuing:
"Emotions are a very powerful force. The more complex the emotions, the stronger the power. Simple emotions will not work. Similarly, if you want to be happy and joyful, you can't just have a single emotion. You need to recall more rich content in your mind to make your emotions more full.

For example, Ron, your memories are full of delicious food. You have to think about the situation and with whom you ate the delicious food.

Not only are you happy, but are other people happy too? What happened at that time? Did you feel warm? Did you find a sense of like-mindedness? What kind of feelings did the delicious food bring to you? Were you moved?
The images you recall in your mind should be detailed. The richer the details, the more real the emotions will be, and the more you will be able to mobilize the power of emotions..."

Two hours later, after finishing Professor Lupin's private instruction, the young wizard thought about it and decided to return to the laboratory first.

They couldn't wait to discuss it and all felt they had made progress.

The discussion went straight to the curfew.

Ron and Harry had not received the patrol notice from Professor McGonagall yet, so they could only watch Draco and other outstanding students go on patrol.

Ron muttered, "Harry, I don't think I'm as stupid as I thought.

As expected, my grades were average before, not because I was a bad student, but because the professors were not good at teaching. Professor Lupin is really good at teaching students..."

Harry felt Ron swell up.

If poor grades are all blamed on the professors, then why do some wizards have such good grades?

Ron suddenly said firmly: "Harry, let's find a good student to take the position!"

Harry: "...Ron, are you a little..."

Before Harry could finish, Ron said, "I'm serious. This semester has just begun. We should work hard now and strive to get the honors medal by the end of the semester. Otherwise, we will not be able to work with Hermione, Lin Xia and the others a lot of the time."

Harry: "They're smarter than us."

"Yes, I know that their innate magical talent is better than ours, but we can't just give up and fall behind because of this!"

Harry glanced at Ron and felt as if he had just truly gotten to know Ron today.

With every new semester, he seemed to be able to feel the changes in Ron.

His character gradually matured, his ideas slowly became less one-sided, and he himself continued to become better.

Harry suddenly thought absentmindedly, Ron is constantly growing, but what about him?

Is he getting better too?

Unfortunately, no one could give him an answer.

At 4 o'clock in the evening, Lin Xia was patrolling on the th floor.

This time she saw two new faces.

George and Fred blinked at Lin Xia, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes, and their expressions were a little funny.

Since they were already on patrol, they could only greet Lin Xia in this strange way.

Lin Xia also blinked at them. She was not surprised that the two of them could participate in the patrol.

The Weasley twins are both very mobile and have good magical talents.

If they had not been so naughty, with their excellent grades, they would have become one of the professor's favorite students long ago.

To be honest, if they follow the normal process, they will probably be able to win the title of outstanding student with excellent grades in the third year.

However, due to their personality, they have been wasting time and have not been promoted until now. Professors often send letters to their parents, criticizing their behavior in school.

Some of the outstanding students who participated in the patrol were twins.

They were not surprised to see the twins appear in the patrol formation.

During the years that they were classmates, the twins always did something unexpected, and it would not be surprising if they defeated the professor one day.

The twins did not notice anything unusual in the corridor on their first day of patrol.

After the patrol, the Weasley twins specifically sought out Lin Xia to share their thoughts on the patrol.

George: "This is incredible. This is my first time to go out at night openly. I don't have to worry about being caught by the professor. I can also catch students who go out at night with a clear conscience!"

Fred: "We must write about this experience in the magazine we founded!"

George: "We plan to increase the difficulty tomorrow and patrol deeper into the night. I think we can find something interesting."

Fred: "It's just that poor Professor Trelawney, she must be worried about our safety."

Lin Xia said: "Although, why do you all have expressions of gloating over sexual misfortune on your faces?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Xia said, "Treat Professor Trelawney well. You have taken advantage of her enough. Since you have become her disciple, don't tarnish her reputation."

The twins looked at each other and said seriously, "We know our limits!"

same moment.

Trelawney, who was in his sleep, suddenly sneezed and mumbled something.

She turned over and fell asleep again.
-
The little wizard's long-awaited trip to Hogsmeade has finally arrived!

Only a week had passed since the last time he went to the Ministry of Magic to attend Lin Xia's paper press conference, and the little wizard had a new activity to do.

Today is a sunny and windy day, suitable for traveling.

Under the guidance of the professors, the young wizards were divided into several teams, lined up in front of the castle, and then disappeared from Harry's sight little by little.

At the beginning, young wizards needed to be led by professors before they could go to Hogsmeade.

But after going there several times, the young wizard could go to Hogsmeade on his own initiative every weekend without the need for a professor to supervise him.

Harry's emerald eyes were fixed on the transparent window. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes, and then the light in his eyes disappeared little by little.

He said to himself, "I don't envy."

Today is the weekend, and a large group of wizards have gone to Hogsmeade, and the castle seems to have become much emptier.

Harry couldn't read and didn't want to do his homework, so he wandered around the empty castle.

He first ran to the library.

There are very few people in the library today.

Harry: "If Hermione were here, he'd be overjoyed."

Harry went to the Quidditch training ground, and even Senior Wood did not participate in the training.

He played a few rounds on the flying broom and said, "If Senior Wood knew that I was practicing extra, he would definitely praise me, while the twins would laugh and scold me for being so unrestrained."

Harry went to the Gryffindor common room again and pretended to play a few games of wizard chess.

The opposing black player wins every game.

Harry sighed. "If Ron were here, he'd definitely start showing off."

Finally Harry ran to the lab.

There are still many instruments in the laboratory that have not been put away, and they will have to continue their research when they return.

Harry finally calmed down and learned a basic rune.

His efficiency was surprisingly high today, so he decided to learn one more.

Harry said to himself, "The runes are difficult to learn. By the time I learn one more, they should be back, right?"
