Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Why does Dumbledore, like Snape, like to use the Disillusionment Charm to spy on others?

He must have been with me the whole time and witnessed the entire incident.

These people are so annoying!

The next day, Kevin went to pay his respects to Professor Snape and also to find out if there was any information about Sirius Black, the kind of information that wasn't mentioned in the movie.

However, Professor Snape seemed to be in a bad mood, apparently angry that he was still unable to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts this year, and even angrier about the teacher who was teaching the class this year, so he wasn't in the mood to chat with Kevin.

But before he left, he suddenly cried out, "Wolf!" and then waved his robes and walked away.

Kevin certainly understood what he meant; both Sirius Black and Professor Lupin were related to wolves.

However, he didn't care. Even if he took on two Kevins at once, he wouldn't be afraid. Moreover, he had prepared wolfsbane medicine in advance, so he was very confident.

Over the next few days, Kevin began teaching everyone how to use the Patronus Charm.

Since school hadn't started yet, he specifically asked Dumbledore for the right to use an empty classroom.

When Dumbledore learned that Kevin was going to teach his friends how to use the Phantectors, he readily agreed, knowing that this year was special and that learning how to resist Dementors was very important.

......

"The Patronus Charm is about using a very happy, positive, and powerful memory to summon your Guardian Angel."

"The guardian spirit is a very special power, protecting the wizard who summons it like a shield."

"Of course, this shield can only stop Dementors, because Dementors are extremely evil creatures and they cannot pass through the Guardian Angel, which is a vessel for the wizard's fond memories."

"Simply put, you first find a memory that is very happy, beautiful, and powerful to you, and then while recalling it, you recite the incantation to call upon the gods for protection."

"The more powerful this memory of yours is, the stronger your will to protect in the present moment will be, and the more powerful the Patronus you release will be, even summoning your Guardian Angel."

Kevin stood on the podium and spoke with an air of authority.

"What is a guardian deity?"

Hermione, who was in the audience, was the first to speak and ask a question.

"Everyone's guardian angel is different; you can think of it as something unique to you."

My guardian angel is a goldfish.

With that, Kevin waved his wand: "Palmtops of the Eye."

A ball of holy energy gathered at the tip of the wand, eventually coalescing into the shape of a goldfish, trailing a dazzling tail, swimming in the air.

As Kevin's wand moved rhythmically, the goldfish swam slowly past everyone's eyes.

Finally, it swam to Hermione's side and turned into specks of light, disappearing into nothingness.

Everyone was curious and seemed eager to see what their guardian deity looked like.

"Alright, everyone, give it a try. Recall the beautiful memories in your heart, those powerful memories that you want to protect."

Afterwards, everyone picked up their wands and recalled their most beautiful and happy memories.

"Call on God to protect you."

Harry was the first to recite the spell.

But nothing happened.

"Don't rush, Harry, you need a stronger conviction."

Harry took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his parents' faces flashed through his mind.

They stood in front of the mirror, where their parents smiled at them. The mother gently smiled, her hand on his shoulder, while the father nodded encouragingly.

This is a picture from the Mirror of Erised. Although it's fake, the love is real.

"Put God on the Guard!"

Harry recited the spell with a firm tone.

A burst of holy energy appeared, gushing from Harry's wand and then forming a shield in front of him.

"Wow!" everyone exclaimed.

Harry looked very happy and successfully used Patronus Exusiai.

"Not bad, not bad. Although the wind-up is a bit long, once you get the hang of it, you can use this spell whenever you want to protect something."

"You guys should try it too. Harry, you continue, and you can also share your insights to inspire everyone."

Kevin then gave Hermione extra lessons, watching her practice from the sidelines.

Hermione glanced at Kevin, closed her eyes, and began to recall her happiest times: the days she lived with Kevin, and the day she discovered that Kevin liked her.

"Call on God to protect you."

Hermione's wand emitted a faint white light, but it wasn't as large as Harry's.

"How could this be..." Hermione was surprised that this memory couldn't activate the Patronus Exusiai; it was indeed her happiest memory.

"Yes, we have the beautiful memories, but they're not strong enough. We need a stronger will to protect them," Kevin commented.

"Protect..." Hermione paused for a moment, then lowered her head and pondered for a while before taking another deep breath.

"Put God on the Guard!"

As Hermione finished her spell, a beam of white light condensed, eventually transforming into an otter that gracefully circled around Hermione.

"Hermione has summoned her Patronus!"

Harry and the others stared in astonishment at Hermione, who had summoned her Patronus on her very first attempt.

"This proves that Hermione's memories are profound, powerful, and beautiful enough."

Kevin patted Hermione's head approvingly, and little Hermione squinted her eyes happily.

"Hermione, what are you remembering?"

Kevin asked.

Hermione glanced up at Kevin and smiled slightly: "I'm not telling you~"

"..."

Kevin had no choice but to let Hermione keep him in suspense and continue teaching the others to master the spells.

Hermione watched Kevin as she manipulated her Patronus, getting used to the feeling.

She was recalling the troll incident from her first year of high school.

She watched as Kevin stood in front of her, facing the troll alone, even risking his life to engage the troll in close combat and distract it. At that moment, they were completely powerless against the troll.

Looking back now, she realizes how much she wished she had been strong enough to protect Kevin, to be his support, and to prevent him from taking unnecessary risks.

It was through this willpower that she successfully summoned the guardian deity.

"Kevin~" Hermione whispered.

"Huh? You called me?" Kevin had excellent hearing and immediately noticed Hermione's soft call.

"No~ I'm calling my Patronus~" Hermione turned her face away haughtily, teasing the Patronus otter that was floating around in front of her.

"what?"

......

The day before the official start of school.

Kevin continued to lead everyone in practicing with the Exorcist's Calling. Those who knew how to use it familiarized themselves with the controls and shared their experiences, while those who didn't practice more diligently.

However, they also welcomed a guest today.

"I heard from the principal that several students here were learning about the Patronus Spirit on their own, and I didn't expect it to be true."

A man who looked somewhat sickly walked into their classroom.

He wore a long robe that was patched but very clean, and had a beard with his bangs hanging loosely on the right side of his forehead.

"Hello students, nice to meet you. I am your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for this year. You can call me Professor Lupin."

Professor Lupin appeared to be a very gentleman and gave a polite self-introduction.

"Hello, Professor."

Although they didn't know Professor Lupin's purpose in coming, everyone still put down their wands and greeted him.

"I happen to know this spell too. May I watch you learn it?"

Professor Lupin spoke in a very friendly and approachable tone, as if he were a friend to everyone, but he spent most of his time looking at Harry while he was speaking.

"Of course, Professor. To be honest, we were just practicing on our own. If you don't mind, we would really appreciate it if you could give us some professional guidance."

Kevin was the first to speak, and his attitude was quite sincere.

"Oh, I think you must be the Mr. Kevin the principal was talking about. Just as he described."

Professor Lupin stepped forward, placed his hands on Kevin's shoulders, and carefully examined the boy before him.

"Yes, I'm Kevin. May I ask what kind of person the principal described me to be?"

Kevin asked curiously.

"Haha, he's a kid who knows how to please adults. He speaks so sweetly and has a whole repertoire of ways to coax people."

Harry and his friends deeply agreed.

"..."

Kevin was speechless. What do you mean by being good at coaxing people? I'm just being obedient, sensible, and having a good sense of the big picture!

Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!

"Alright, enough joking around. You guys try using Patronus Charm, let me see how it goes. I think I can give you some inspiration."

Professor Lu Ping was very easygoing. Instead of standing on the podium to give a formal speech, he sat at a table and spoke to everyone.

Professor Lu Ping observed the state of everyone casting the spell, and those with experience quickly noticed the problem.

However, he didn't talk about anything profound. Instead, he used language to constantly stimulate and evoke the beauty in everyone's hearts, as well as their will to protect.

This made him seem a bit like a spiritual mentor.

With his guidance, Ron and Draco, who had been practicing for several days, finally succeeded in using Patronus.

Harry and Hermione became more proficient, and Harry even summoned his Patronus, a stag.

......

"Not bad, not bad. You are all talented and positive kids. It is not easy to learn the Patronus Spirit in just a few days."

After the lecture, Professor Lu Ping praised the group.

After saying that, Professor Lupin looked at Harry and said with a smile, "Harry, your parents will be very proud of you."

"Do you know my parents?" Harry paused for a moment, then asked curiously, eager to know about his parents.

"Of course, we're friends."

"I recognized you the moment I saw you, not because of the scars, but because of your eyes."

Professor Lupin and Harry suddenly started reminiscing about the past, telling him stories about Harry's parents from back then.

Kevin, being very tactful, led the few gossipy little girls away.

Let them have time to reminisce about the past.
