Since the last time I talked to Anderson, Harry actually had the idea of stopping da activities, oh, now it's called "Defense Against the Dark Arts Study Group". Harry had spoken to Hermione and Ron about it, and had spoken to Fred, George and Cedric about his concerns. However, as Cedric said, there are too many students joining the club now, and everyone expects to learn some useful Defense Against the Dark Arts knowledge here. Stopping da activities now may make many students extremely disappointed.

Fred and George told Harry not to worry, and the problem would be directly pushed on their heads.

Umbridge's yet-to-be-exposed conspiracy is even more worrying.

Although da parties are still going on, Harry subconsciously reduces the frequency of da parties, although he also knows that if Umbridge is really eyeing da parties, reducing the frequency of da parties will not really help, but Harry still does that. , and changed the content of the recent teaching to the Patronus Charm, and did not leave any excuses for Umbridge against himself and Dumbledore as much as possible.

Harry was curious now when Umbridge would show his fangs, and he was also waiting for that day to come. However, that day never came, and perhaps Umbridge intended to be more patient with him than anyone else.

"Or not!"

Hermione frowned intently, the tip of her wand spewing a silvery gas, but it was too slow to condense into a physical Patronus.

This situation not only happened to Hermione, but none of the da members has successfully summoned the physical Patronus, except for Fred, George and Lee Jordan who had mastered the Patronus Charm a long time ago.

"Don't worry, the more anxious you are, the harder it will be to succeed. At the beginning, it also took me a long time to summon the Flesh Patronus Charm." Harry passed through the two lines, teaching himself to everyone. The experience of practicing the Patronus Charm, "You must think about happy things, the more pleasant the memory, the easier it is to succeed when casting the spell."

"It's so difficult, I really don't know how you did it?" Angelina muttered softly. Fred, George and Lee Jordan are the only three students here besides Harry who have summoned the patron saint of the flesh. Until now, Cedric has not been able to summon a physical Patronus.

"We've been practicing for several years, and you've only been practicing for a few months, or even less." Fred comforted, "The Patronus Charm is harder to master than you think, and one of the tricks to mastering it is to Confidence, self-confidence is conducive to improving the success rate of spell casting, Albert always said that you don't believe your spell will succeed, why does it succeed?"

"That guy always likes to say some high-level things, but he has to admit that it makes sense." Shanna said with a smile.

"Maybe, he can publish Ben Anderson's quotes in the future." Arya complained.

"The Patronus Charm is widely regarded as a kind of profound magic, whether it's me, Fred, George or Lee Jordan have spent a lot of time on this spell, so even if everyone is temporarily unable to summon a physical Patronus, it is absolutely It's not a shameful thing, because many wizards can't actually summon a physical Patronus."

"Are some people unable to master the Patronus Charm in their entire lives?" a Hufflepuff girl couldn't help raising her hand and asked.

"Of course not. Most people can't summon the Patronus of the flesh. In fact, it has something to do with themselves. Many people are unwilling to spend time and energy practicing, and they have no talent, so how can they summon the Patronus of the flesh?" Harry knew Everyone's mood is not high, but there is no good solution, so they can only comfort, "As long as you are willing to take the time to practice, you don't have to worry about not being able to master the guardian angel of the flesh, unless you are not happy in your heart."

"I will now reiterate the important points that need to be paid attention to when learning the Patronus Charm." Harry raised a finger and said, "First, the Patronus Charm requires a very strong magical power as a basis, which makes this spell difficult for young people. The wizards in 's are less friendly, but don't give up, as long as you're willing to spend more time practicing, you'll be able to master it well when you're older. I asked Fred, George and This is the case with all three of them, Lee Jordan, so don't be discouraged because others succeed and you don't, like Anderson, a genius who mastered the Patronus Charm in second grade, and that one has come out so far, don't talk to him Than, that's just asking for trouble."

"Second, the Patronus Charm is a positive spell, it promotes happiness and hope, so you need to concentrate and try to remember the happiest things in your life before casting the spell." Harry looked around and warned: " Don't use the Patronus Charm with malice, otherwise the spell is likely to be backfired, and very terrible things will happen. Most dark wizards can't use the Patronus Charm. They don't need it, but also because they don't want to risk backfire to try, it's not worth it."

"So, a lot of people think that only people with a pure heart can summon the Patronus, which is actually a false statement," Harry corrected: "It is said that the Patronus of our Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is a cat, and you think she has a very strong mind. Is it pure?"

"Really?"

The news of Umbridge's grasp of the physical Patronus immediately caused a commotion in the room, and everyone was unwilling to believe that the toad could actually summon the Patronus.

How can something like a toad summon its own Patronus.

"I've only heard similar rumors, the details are not very clear." Harry raised his hand to stop everyone's whispering, "I said this just to tell you that people with pure hearts are more likely to summon the Patronus, But others can still succeed with hard work, so don't give up."

"Third, self-confidence, concentration, will, the correct spell casting gesture and the correct spell, focus on recalling the happiest memory imaginable, everything I just said is very important." Harry continued to guide: "Now close Open your eyes, recall your happiest memories, then raise your wand and say Shoutout."

"Call God Guard!"

Under Harry's guidance, all the students present waved their wands and chanted the Patronus Charm.

Silver smoke spewed out from the tip of the wand, and the whole room instantly became smoky. What caught everyone's attention was the change on Cedric's wand. The silver smoke swirled in mid-air, forming a physical patron saint.

He succeeded!

It was a silver swan-shaped Patronus flying around the Room of Requirement.

"It's so pretty!"

Qiu Zhang looked at the swan with joy, then looked at Cedric gently, proud of the other's success.

"Look, Cedric made it!"

All attention was drawn to Cedric's swan-shaped Patronus, whose success certainly gave everyone a lot of confidence.

"Is it really a swan?"

Cedric looked at his Patronus and murmured softly.

Once he asked Albert what his patron saint was, and Albert said it might be a swan.

At that time, Albert joked that it had something to do with his liking for Qiu, and Qiu's patron saint might also be a swan, because swans always come in pairs. of.

Harry looked at Cho and Cedric, took a deep breath, and began to take the lead in applauding.

After waiting for the applause to disappear completely, Harry cleared his throat and reminded: "Although it's a bit unpleasant to say this now, I still have to remind everyone that it is one thing to summon a Patronus in a brightly lit classroom. Dementors are another matter. Only Patrons who have been tested by dementors can be considered true Patrons, because many wizards still cannot successfully summon Patronus in the presence of dementors."

As the others looked over, Harry continued, "That's what Albert reminded me of, and now I'm going to pass it on to you. It's true, it's hard for you to deal with Dementors. Looking back on happy memories, it was my own experience as well.

"Okay, be quiet. Cedric, don't mind sharing the secret of your success with everyone!" Harry nodded at Cedric, knowing that everyone needed a success story to inspire confidence.

Just as Cedric was about to stand up, the door to the Room of Requirement was suddenly opened.

Everyone heard the sound and turned their heads to look at the entrance, only to see a person standing in front of the open door.

An unexpected person.

Dolores Umbridge stood in the doorway with a smirk, but no one knew how she opened the door to the Room of Requirement.

Some were confused, some panicked, but most realized that something was wrong, because Harry had warned them more than once that Umbridge wasn't credible and that she was probably just pretending and would trouble everyone again.

Harry was obviously right, anyone with a brain could feel that Umbridge was a bad guy.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and many students couldn't help but raise their wands at the uninvited villain.

"Something happened!"

Harry took the bottle out of his pocket, poured a tranquilizer into his mouth, took a deep breath, and stood up to the toad that had broken into the Room of Requirement.

This guy's "harmless" is indeed a disguise, and now he is finally going to show his fangs.

For some reason, instead of feeling nervous, Harry was relieved.

"Mr. Potter, someone reported to me that you're having an illegal gathering here." Umbridge looked around, the smile on his face stiff as everyone stared at her badly.

"We have your approval for the party," Cedric reminded, frowning.

"Yeah, I'm also very strange, but someone reported to the Ministry of Magic that you are gathering together to train black magic, you know, this is not allowed." Umbridge's face still has the same fake smirk on his face, making people wish One punch flattened her toad face.

"Dark magic? Are you sure the Patronus Charm is dark magic?" Fred raised his wand threateningly. "Or is the so-called dark magic defined by your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

"Watch out Weasley, you..."

Many raised their wands and stared ill at Umbridge, expecting the toad to settle down, but now it doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Less than a month later, Umbridge came to trouble everyone.

Many people regret not listening to Harry.

Whether it's Harry, or Fred and George, everyone is reminding everyone to watch out for Umbridge and don't let their guard down.

At that time, few people really took it to heart, and as a result...

"What's the matter with you?" Harry raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet. After taking the tranquilizer, he also calmed down. It's not a good idea to argue with Umbridge. He just saw someone outside, Probably an employee of the Ministry of Magic.

"Because there are so many people in your club, both the school and the Ministry of Magic have to be vigilant, so I suggest you go to the headmaster's room and explain things clearly in front of the Minister of Magic and Dumbledore, so as not to cause any problems between the two sides. Misunderstanding." Umbridge's hypocritical smile was disgusting, and her sudden transformation made many students think they were being treated as fools.

"Harry, don't listen to her, that guy is a liar." George interrupted directly: "She's not worth believing when Umbridge is here, otherwise she won't lie to you herself. Go out, but bring Dumbledore and Fudge here and make things clear in front of everyone."

"Mr. Weasley, I can think..." Umbridge was interrupted halfway through.

"You can invite the Headmaster and the Minister of Magic over. I think everyone wants to look at their demeanor. After all, the Headmaster's room can't hold so many people." George turned his head to look at the students behind him and asked, "Who do you want? went together."

"Let's go together." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"We would like to hear what the minister has to say."

"I think he should explain to us the previous escape."

"A lot of people know about the Death Eaters trying to escape, and why no one at the Ministry of Magic has stopped them."

"Shame on the Ministers of Magic, it's time for him to step down and get out."

The two Aurors outside looked at each other and looked at the students in the room worriedly. They knew that if this matter was not handled properly, a large-scale conflict might break out.

"With Dumbledore here, I'm sure she can't do anything." Harry raised his hand to stop the excitement of the students. "Also, I'm curious who reported us?"

Harry lifted his foot and followed Umbridge away, but that didn't mean the others would be so indifferent, all of them raising their wands and coming out of the Room of Requirement murderously.

"Come on, I think Headmaster Dumbledore is still waiting for us, don't make them wait too long." Harry glanced at Umbridge and walked towards the Headmaster's office.

Watching the students blocking the door of the Headmaster's office, Umbridge wasn't worried, because the Ministry of Magic would soon be mobilizing more Aurors to prevent the situation at Hogwarts from getting out of hand.

"Go to Albert and tell him about this place." George deliberately slowed down to mix in the crowd, and whispered to Lee Jordan, "I think he must know what to do."
