Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

John could only guess that Lucius's surname was Malfoy, since it was Draco's son who was captured by Buckbeak, which is why his father started targeting Buckbeak.

As for Arthur, he's probably one of their people.

After hearing this, Hermione immediately suggested to Hagrid that he use public opinion to help Buckbeak.

The first thing that came to light was the exposure of Lucius's alleged bribery of the presiding judge.

Secondly, the results of the biological behavior experiments conducted in the previous trial were also released.

Finally, they share Buckbeak's daily life or past experiences to elicit sympathy and gain public sympathy.

It had to be Hermione who immediately came up with some countermeasures.

Whether it will ultimately be useful is unknown, but at least it can provide some resistance and increase the chances of winning.

Hermione also stated that she would begin preparing appeal materials for Hagrid ahead of time, as she could already foresee that the outcome of this trial would definitely not be good.

Therefore, a second appeal is definitely necessary.

Hearing Hermione's plan, Hagrid felt a little more at ease.

"Hermione, thank you so much for worrying about me."

Hagrid wiped his nose, moved.

They chatted for a while afterward, mainly with Hermione and Hagrid gathering information, and in the end, Hermione helped Hagrid formulate a counter-propaganda strategy.

John mainly offered suggestions; the rest of the time he just watched the show.

I have no idea why Hermione called him here...

Hmm, this tea is quite good today.

......

In the following days, everything proceeded as usual.

Every day consisted of attending classes, reading books, engaging in passionate sparring with Professor Flitwick, and exchanging a few words with Professor Snape.

It is worth mentioning that.

Hermione did indeed tell Professor McGonagall about John's weak foundation in knowledge, and Professor McGonagall seemed to take it very seriously.

So John has been spending the last few evenings with Professor McGonagall, receiving private lessons from her.

Even when Professor Snape asked for someone, Professor McGonagall simply turned him away.

It has to be Professor McGonagall.

Even Professor Snape couldn't get angry in front of her.

Little did they know that Professor Snape had made some sarcastic remarks to Professor McGonagall a few days earlier, saying that Gryffindor hadn't won the Quidditch Cup for eight years.

So Professor McGonagall is still angry with him.

Time flew by and it was the weekend.

That is, the day John and Professor Lupin agreed to practice the Patronus Charm.

The practice session was held in the faculty lounge.

When John arrived at the destination, he discovered that he wasn't the only one there to learn the Patronus Charm.

We also learned Harry Potter together.

"Hey, John."

Harry greeted John familiarly when he saw him arrive.

Their relationship is okay now, not too distant, but not really that close either.

"Senior Harry."

"You can just call me Harry."

John called out politely, but Harry smiled and told him he didn't need to.

I have a feeling that Harry's spirit and energy have changed, and he is quite different from last semester.

But John couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed.

If I had to put it into words, it would be that at first glance, this person exudes positive energy.

John had heard a little about Harry's background and past experiences.

Perhaps it's because he now has a godfather and family member, which has rekindled his passion for life.

"John, you're here to learn the Patronus Charm too, right?"

Harry seemed to know why John had come, so he asked directly.

"Yes, senior too?"

John nodded and said.

Harry nodded. He had talked about this with Professor Lupin before, which was why he knew that John was also coming to study.

"Yes, you may have heard that I was attacked by Dementors and passed out...twice!"

"So I went to Professor Lupin, hoping to learn how to fight off Dementors."

Harry said this with some embarrassment, clearly feeling ashamed of being attacked by the Dementors and fainting.

It's not really his fault, after all, his past doesn't seem to be pleasant.

After being attacked by Dementors, happy memories were sucked away, leaving only painful ones.

Since Professor Lu Ping had not yet arrived, the two continued chatting for a while longer.

Harry also shared with him the current situation of Sirius.

He said he had rented a house near Harry's home so that Harry could visit him anytime.

Harry was very happy, but for some reason, he couldn't actually live with Sirius yet; it wasn't a real home for them.

As for the reason, John seemed to have overheard something in the principal's office last time, but he didn't pay attention and forgot about it.

Harry even invited John to come over, but John promptly declined.

"You two are here."

Finally, Professor Lupin arrived.

He seemed to be in good spirits and smiled at the two of them as soon as he came in.

"professor."

The two of them stood up and greeted each other.

"It seems you two are having a good chat, so I won't go into further introductions."

As Professor Lu Ping spoke, he naturally walked to a large black box in the faculty lounge and slowly sat down.

John and Harry also came to Professor Lupin's side.

"I believe you are all clear about your purpose in coming here: to learn the Guardian Charm."

"So let's get straight to today's topic."

"The Guardian Charm is an extremely difficult and profound spell, far beyond the scope of ordinary wizard level exams."

After Professor Lu Ping sat down, he looked at the two people in front of him and continued to speak slowly.

"Do you know what a guardian deity is?"

The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

"The so-called guardian deity is a special power summoned by the guardian deity spell."

"It can act like a shield to block Dementors and protect the wizard who summons them."

"It can also be transformed into a sharp sword to drive away Dementors and protect others."

"However, summoning it is not easy."

"You need a memory as a medium, and it must be a happy and powerful memory."

John blinked upon hearing this.

What constitutes a happy and powerful memory?

Does the memory of me single-handedly defeating five opponents in a Desert Earth game back in the day, with my teammates shouting "Awesome!" count?

Or, in the King of Glory arena, Lu Bu, like a god descending to earth, can wipe out five opponents in one fell swoop?

Or, if all else fails, what about the memory of getting five gold items in ten consecutive pulls?

"Alright, now, close your eyes."

Professor Lupin, unaware of John's brainstorming session, began to formally instruct.

The two of them obediently closed their eyes.

"Focus your mind and recall the past."

"Find your happiest and most powerful memory, and immerse yourself in it."

"Did you find it?"

As Professor Lu Ping spoke, he asked them if they had found that memory.

Harry nodded, and John hesitated for a moment before nodding as well.

"Very good. After finding this memory, recite the incantation to invoke divine protection."

Following Professor Lupin's words, they also began to repeat the incantation of calling upon the gods for protection.

"very good."

Professor Lu Ping slowly stood up and patted the box beneath him.

With a few clicks, the lock on the box unlocked automatically.

"Now, let's begin the practical exercise."
