Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 75 The Patronus Charm

Next things started to develop in a good direction.

Newt Scamander published an article in the Daily Prophet, educating the public about the hippogriff and the ins and outs of the Hagrid incident. Due to the powerful influence of the Daily Prophet, almost all wizards know that hippogriffs are harmless magical creatures.

Public opinion in Hogwarts slowly tilted towards Hagrid. Except for a few young wizards in Slytherin, everyone else began to scold Draco for being shameless.

Then, through the dual pressure of the relationship network within the Ministry of Magic and the Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, he gave the arbitration body of the Ministry of Magic a chance to think carefully. Moreover, coupled with the guidance of public opinion, even Lucius Malfoy could not do this. After all, the power of the masses is great.

"That's great, Louis. Now both Hagrid and Buckbeak don't have to face sanctions."

Hermione held the latest issue of the Daily Prophet and couldn't help but be excited about Louis' method.

"You can't say that. Although it seems that we have the advantage now, it always feels like Malfoy still has an advantage."

Louis has always been cautious, and this is like a game with Lucius Malfoy.

Only by working step by step can we turn the tide in the final decisive stage.

"You're just too cautious." Ron looked relaxed as he sat back on the sofa in the Gryffindor common room.

Hagrid's incident could be regarded as a sign of victory, but several others were not so lucky.

As the bearer of ominous prophecies, Harry would always be watched in whispers by his classmates no matter where he was. As soon as Harry approached, they would immediately hide away, very much like Louis did last year.

"You don't need to pay attention to them. Harry, Professor McGonagall said this is just Strawney's trick."

But even with Hermione's persuasion, Harry was still worried. It was impossible for him not to care about other people's eyes, especially in the past few days, Draco Malfoy often came to find trouble.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, The dementors are coming, Potter." Malfoy kept wandering in front of him, as if he was a lingering ghost, which made Harry even more irritated.

"Go away, Malfoy, why, do you want to be caught by the Hippogriff again?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Malfoy's face became gloomy:

"Don't mention it to me, Wiggins."

"Do you think you can win by controlling everyone's opinions? Let me tell you, that stupid eagle is dead."

Draco Malfoy's threat had no impact on Louis, he just regarded it as a trick played by children.

What worried Harry the most was the journey to Hogsmeade. He had consulted Professor McGonagall before, but rejected him because the guardian had not signed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Potter, this is the school's rule. Even if you are a student of our college, I can't give you tolerance, let alone this is a special period."

Professor McGonagall has always been known for being strict, so it was expected that she would not agree to Harry's visit. This also meant that he became the only third-year student to stay in school.

"It's okay, Harry, we will bring you a lot of delicious food." Hermione comforted Harry, "Besides, there are Louis and Ginny to accompany you."

On the weekend of the first week of school, under the gaze of Harry's lonely eyes, the third-year students lined up and walked towards the village of Hogsmeade with excitement.

Louis was by Harry's side, and he could understand Harry's mood this time.

"Hey, Harry, Louis, come to my place and sit down?"

Remus Lupine did not know when he appeared next to the two of them. Faced with the kind invitation of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, it was natural for the two of them to refuse.

The layout of Lupine's office seemed extremely simple, which was completely different from Lockhart's previous narcissistic style. There was only a teacup on the table, which seemed to contain the Wolfsbane potion prepared by Snape. It was backed by a blackboard, and there seemed to be a wardrobe to the left. It might be Snape dressed as a woman, hiding a Boggart. There is a water tank placed on the corner of the ground on the right, and there is a water monster inside with its teeth and claws.

"Oh, this is Grindylow." Lupine saw that both of their eyes were attracted to the water monster, "Although it looks fierce, it is not difficult to deal with it."

"Okay, Harry, I guess you must have a lot of doubts." Lupine opened the seats for Louis and Harry and poured them some tea.

"Well..." Harry looked at the cup of tea in front of him, and inexplicably thought of Trelawney's ominous prophecy.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Lupine explained when he saw Harry in this situation, "I forgot, you are already a little averse to tea."

"how do you know."

"Professor McGonagall told me that she was an amazing witch, even when I was a student." Lupine spread his hands, "You must be worried about something."

"Maybe it's a problem with dementors?" Louis interjected. Dementors had a great influence on Harry, and his Boggart was a dementor.

Harry glanced at Louis in surprise, then nodded.

"I understand." Lupine's tone sounded somewhat meaningful, "Your Boggart, including your behavior on the train, all show that you are afraid of it."

"Then there should be a way to deal with it," Harry asked, "like you and Louis did on the train."

"Indeed, there is." Lupine paused. He was not sure whether to teach him that spell, "But it is an extremely advanced spell, and you may not necessarily be able to learn it."

"what is that?"

"It's the Patronus Charm, Harry." Louis said, "It's a spell specifically designed to deal with Dementors."

"Louis is right, but the conditions for using the Patronus Charm completely are extremely stringent. Because this Patronus Charm tests not only your magic power, but more importantly, your state of mind."

"So, this is a spell that many adult wizards may not be able to learn." Lupine's tone became a little serious.

There was a moment of silence, the scene was eerily silent, with only the ticking sounds coming from the clock on the wall.

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence. Lupine waved his wand, and the locked door opened automatically.

It was Severus Snape who stepped inside. He had a straight face and narrowed his eyes when he saw Louis and Harry.

"Ah, Snape, you're here." Lupine was as happy as meeting an old friend, "Thank you for the medicine. I just went to your office to get it and found that you were not there."

"You should drink it directly, Lupin, while it's hot." Snape said, pointing to the cup on the table, "If you want more, I have a full pot."

"Thank you so much, I thought I might want a little more."

"You're welcome." Snape was expressionless, with a dead fish face, but with a little malice in his eyes, and left the room, not forgetting to glance at Louis.

"I have been sick recently, so I asked Professor Snape to prepare the potion. Not many people can do this." Lupine explained to Louis and Harry while holding up the cup.

"Okay, I guess I have to get back to work. See you at the dinner later." Lupine said.

They both nodded, and Harry stood up and walked out. Louis winked at him and told him to wait for him outside.

"I advise you not to drink this wolfsbane potion. It is not good for your health, Professor Lupin." After Harry went out, Louis said to Lupine calmly, which made Lupine's half-raised wine glass suddenly tremble. stopped.

Lupine squinted his eyes and was silent for about five seconds, and then he sighed.

"You know everything?"

Louis nodded.

"When did it start?"

"I knew it from the beginning."

Lupine's hands trembled, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Then you, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? Why be afraid." Louis smiled, his tone really sounded like an adult wizard, "A harmless werewolf, innocent and kind, not like Fenrir, and you are the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. "

"It would be great if everyone was like you." Lu Ping said with a wry smile, and simply stopped hiding his behind. "It is almost impossible for us werewolves to live a normal life in this world."

"Dumbledore hired me this time to prove my harmlessness to the Ministry of Magic many times. But even so, I still have to hide my werewolf identity. After all, no one wants a werewolf to teach their children."

Moon Face can be said to be a poor man. He was transformed by Fenrir in a sneak attack when he was a child. He has lived in the shadow of werewolves all his life, but he is a lucky man. He has three best friends around him who have always cared about him, even for him. Learned about the Animagus.

"What if I said, I have a way to solve your werewolf problem?" Louis said this with a bit of arrogance. After all, there is no perfect solution to transform a werewolf in the world.

"Then I will be very grateful." Lu Ping shook his head. He did not believe that a twelve-year-old child could solve the werewolf problem that had not been solved for thousands of years.

"Try it. How will you know if you don't try it?"

Lu Ping looked at his confident eyes, and for some reason suddenly looked forward to the child's success.

"You remind me of the good friend I had when I was young. He was about your age and seemed to be somewhat similar to you. But unfortunately, we have lost contact now." Lu Ping looked out the window and remembered the past. some things.

"I'm looking forward to your solution, Louis, I'm looking forward to it very much."

Coming out of Lupine's office, Harry rushed from the side impatiently.

"What did you and Professor Lupine talk about?"

"It's a secret." Louis smiled mysteriously, which confused Harry.

"Come on, Harry, I think it's time for Hermione and Ron to come back from Hogsmeade."
