Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts.

Chapter 176 The Smart Hat

As they walked out of Professor Trelawney's office, the two ran into Lupin.

Perhaps it was because Dumbledore didn't quite believe that Kane would obediently listen to him and go to Lupin to learn the Patronus Charm.

So he went out of his way to find Lupin and asked Lupin to approach Kane and teach him the Patronus Charm.

So now that I know the opportunity to learn a new spell is right in front of me, needless to say, I have to seize it.

As for Professor Trelawney's curse that outlived her...

Anyway, the next spell learning session won't start until the full moon in October, so there's no rush.

After all, in Kane's mind, no matter how difficult the spell was, it couldn't be more difficult than memorizing a book.

However, perhaps things didn't go quite right; in Kane's actual experience, it seemed that...

Learning this guardian deity spell is more difficult than memorizing a book.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts office is now Lupin's office, and the flashy decor that Lockhart used to have has been replaced with a more practical and understated style.

The office was divided into two parts: upstairs was Lupin's personal living area, downstairs was a small office corner, and the remaining large area was a spell practice area.

Kane and Harry were learning the so-called Patronus Charm from Lupin in this very place, but it was clear that, not to mention Harry, Kane's talent for the Patronus Charm was obviously not very good.

After seeing that Harry was able to release silvery-white mist, Lupin looked back at the troublesome Kane, though he had made a slight improvement compared to before.

It evolved from having no reaction to a tiny, silvery-white spark, but this awkward scene still made Lupin scratch his head helplessly.

That shouldn't be the case. Although the Patronus Charm is more complex than other spells, it's still quite simple for a novice wizard to just focus on the mist of the Patronus Charm without aiming for the complete Patronus.

After all, the Patronus Charm, a magic that amplifies inner joy into magical power, should be just right for a young wizard.

Is there anyone in the world happier than a child?

But that's the strange thing about it; Kane is stuck on the threshold of the Guardian Charm.

To say there are no happy memories... Kane and Harry are about the same. Before entering school, they were both clearly in a miserable state, but things changed after they entered school.

Moreover, thanks to Kane's talent and peculiar popularity, his Hogwarts life was as enjoyable as a novel; how could he not be happy?

Could it be that dark magic has soaked him in the water?

While in theory dark magic can indeed prevent wizards from using Patronus Charms, the deeper principle is that dark magic damages the wizard's brain and way of thinking, causing them to lose the ability to feel and recall happiness.

But Kane slept until late morning every day at Hogwarts, and no one except Peeves was as cheerful as him.

Could it be that there's something wrong with my teaching method?

Lupin fell into deep doubt about his teaching methods.

Clearly, I should go and recharge myself with Dumbledore.

As for the Patronus Charm used by Professor Kane and Harry, the two young wizards... let's discuss that later.

Having just left Professor Trelawney's office, Lupin picked her up and took her to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. After being seen off again, the two went their separate ways.

Harry decided to try out his new Firebolt. Although he still didn't know who had given it to him, and it wasn't as fast as the Fire Ring, it would be nice to change things up and experience some new controls.

Kane, on the other hand, headed towards the library.

It's not that any special knowledge is required; it's just that libraries and memorization go together better.

Time passed by like that, and Kane's endorsement plan was unexpectedly much better than he had imagined.

Originally, his magician's top hat's shadow space, along with the scientific machines he created, could theoretically amplify the intelligence of the people next to the machines to a certain extent.

So Kane stuffed four scientific machines into his hat, and the effect was immediate.

Normally, even though I have a great brain that I don't use, I don't feel any significant changes. But now, when I need to use my brain to memorize things, it really comes in handy.

Moreover, it's not just the hat; in the realm of eternity, the shadow represents chaos and blindness, while the moon represents order and enlightenment. The former is because the moon has a fixed lunar phase cycle, while the latter is the moon's special power.

Specifically, the moon makes its followers, relatives, or hosts more intelligent.

This resulted in a significant boost to Kane, with the sum of four plus five equaling more than six.

So much so that the Moon Spell, which might not have been effective even after memorizing it for ten days or half a month, was reinforced in my subconscious with just one afternoon and one night of sleep.

"As for talent." After waking up the next day, Kane first recited it from beginning to end in his mind, then touched his head.

I love you so much, without you, who would give me such a useful brain! Not even Hermione...

Kane, who had spent about half an hour mentally reciting the instructions before finally sitting up, instinctively wanted to find Professor Trelawney to ask what to do next. However, when he and Harry arrived at the Great Hall, they heard that Professor Trelawney had left again...

It is said that he went back to Mauritius to look for his lost pear barrel.

This left Kane, who had originally planned to continue his studies, in an awkward situation.

Fortunately, the awkwardness didn't last long. Without a professor to guide me, I tried it on my own without making any mistakes.

After all, according to Professor Trelawney's book containing the spell, this spell was not dangerous at all.

It simply allows you to draw upon the power of moonlight on the night of a full moon, and you can also store the power of moonlight for future use if you wish.

The only two hurdles are the clash between the power of shadow and the power of the moon, but since I've already taken the Mooncaller's Staff, this is nothing.

The latter is really unsettling; it's not even a full moon yet... Can you believe how ridiculous that is?

Kane, who grew up among the shadow tentacles of the Eternal Realm, carries a moon with him, which is perfectly fine!

And so, after finishing his meal, Kane went to the library as usual, found a corner, took out the Mooncaller's Wand, first summoned a smaller version of the full moon, and then took a deep breath in front of the smaller version of the full moon.

He forced out that spell, which could be compiled into a book, to recite it.
