"There is a way... I know, it's the Patronus Charm, right?" Hermione responded. "But how can we tell him how to practice the Patronus Charm now that we are in Castrobruzau?"

After hearing what Hermione said, Ryan looked at her helplessly and said, "He can also go find someone else to learn. There are so many professors in Hogwarts, it's impossible that no one knows the Patronus Charm."

"That's right. Even if the professor doesn't teach, Harry has such a good relationship with the Weasley family, so he must have a way to get the learning method of the Patronus Charm. Okay, I'll write a letter to remind Ginny now." Hermione said this and hurriedly ran back to write back to Ginny.

I really don't know when Hermione and Ginny became so close, but sometimes girls' friendships come in such strange ways. Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head and returned to the dormitory helplessly. After all, he recently had an idea about the integration of life magic and natural magic, which required enough time to study.

It was Saturday's practice time again, and as usual, it started with a magic fight. However, according to the prior agreement, the two people in the opening fight could only use the Disarming Spell and the Armor Spell to avoid damaging the surrounding environment.

At the beginning, Hermione waved her wand and released a red light directly at Ryan. After so much practice, she had mastered the silent casting tricks of these two most familiar spells. Ryan dodged sideways and began his own guidance: "You need to be more accurate. The enemy will not stand there like a tree."

"When calculating your opponent's movements, remember that few people on the battlefield move at a constant speed. Only by observing your opponent carefully can you correctly judge his next move."

"Not enough strength. Even if I didn't block the magic with the Armor Charm, you couldn't knock my wand away."

"Very good, your rolling posture just now cleverly avoided the spell. Remember, since our magic power is not very high now, the first reaction when seeing a spell should be to dodge instead of blocking it. It doesn't matter if the posture is ugly or ungraceful, as long as these things can help you save your life. The dead will never be able to show grace."

"Don't glare at me. Sometimes people don't necessarily wait for the end of the fight even if their wands fall out of their hands. You didn't notice that we were too close to each other just now. For a wizard, that distance is very dangerous. If my knife had hit you, I think you would have been lying down all morning. You should know that many werewolves are eager to fight wizards in close combat. They are much more ruthless than me, and the damage they cause is irreversible."

After more than ten minutes, Ryan's shouting finally stopped. At this time, Hermione was already panting, and sweat was dripping down her messy brown hair. It can be seen that even fighting with magic is a heavy physical job for wizards, especially when they need to use their brains in the battle.

After a short break, Ryan continued to teach the Patronus Charm as planned. After all, they would return to Hogwarts after Christmas. Learning to protect oneself in the Patronus Charm when the Dementors were out of control had become a very important matter. Although the Ministry of Magic repeatedly assured that the last time was just an accident, what if the next accident happened to him?

At the beginning of teaching, Hermione raised the question that she had thought of when she practiced privately after learning the principles of the Patronus Charm last time: "Is the Patronus Charm the only way to deal with Dementors in this world?"

"No, I can be sure of at least two." Ryan answered confidently.

"Two?" Hermione was a little unconvinced. "Are there other spells besides the Patronus Charm?"

"Of course there is. The most important elements of the Patronus Charm are happiness and love, which the You-Know-Who doesn't have. But in the last war, the You-Know-Who could drive the Dementors. Evil creatures like Dementors don't bargain, which only means that he must have a spell that is more evil than the Dementors, which can allow him to kill the Dementors. But compared to this thing, the Patronus Charm should be the easiest to learn." Of course, Ryan hid a lot of things here. At least he felt that there were many spells in the Thunder Method that just restrained the Dementors, and maybe they could also destroy the Dementors. Not to mention that when he faced the Dementors in the battle class professor, he found that he was not affected by the Dementors like the other two students, which meant that he could normally exert his abilities when he really faced the Dementors.

Ryan was a little strange at first, but soon realized that this might have a lot to do with his mastery of Taoist mental skills. After all, those Taoist skills have emphasized the role of the heart from the beginning. It is understandable that Ryan, who has Taoist skills, can remain calm in front of the Dementors.

After the explanation, the two began to practice the Patronus Charm. After they finished reciting the spell, silver mist appeared on the wand heads. The only difference was that the mist Ryan created was thicker and covered a larger area.

"This kind of smoke can probably only deal with one or two Dementors, not more." Ryan tried to shape the smoke while looking at the smoke on Hermione's wand and pointed out: "In theory, the physical patronus represents a person's inner heart. For many people, the physical patronus will not change throughout their lives. At the same time, the physical patronus of magical creatures is more powerful than that of ordinary creatures. For example, Dumbledore's patronus is a phoenix."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I really hope to see my patronus in flesh soon. Maybe it can be a divine beast."

After hearing what Hermione said, Ryan felt a little skeptical. After all, in the fan fiction he read in his previous life, the patronus of the protagonists were basically mythical beasts. It would be embarrassing if he came up with something else.

But some things will not change because of human will. After practicing for more than half an hour, Ryan vaguely felt that he had broken through a barrier. He immediately used his mind to fill his heart with pure joy, then waved his wand and said, "Protect and guard."

As the spell was recited, a limb first emerged from the head of Ryan's wand.

"Damn it, could it be that I killed too many spiders and my patronus turned into a spider?" Ryan felt a cold sweat on his forehead. Especially when he saw the limbs popping out one after another, the ominous feeling became stronger and stronger.

Finally, a pincer emerged, which made Ryan breathe a sigh of relief, as it was not a spider. However, when the whole thing emerged, Ryan felt that he might have offended some god and that was why everything went wrong.

Because what appeared in front of him was a hairy crab the size of a dinner plate. One could even tell from its belly that it was a male hairy crab.

After the guardian angel came out, it quickly circled around Ryan in a show of strength, waving its big claws from time to time. No wonder the legs came out first. Crabs always walk sideways, so naturally the legs come first.

Hermione came over and said curiously, "Hey, your patronus is a crab, but I've never seen this kind of crab before. What kind is it?"
