Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

In the afternoon, after Lockhart finished his class, he came to the Response Room as agreed.

By this time the children were already waiting for him, and Lockhart was relieved to see that even with OWLS and NEWTS near, there were still many fifth and seventh graders attending the party.

"Everyone, good afternoon!" Lockhart greeted with a smile, "Why, how are you practicing the Patronus Charm?"

"Professor, many people can gather animal patron saints!" Harry said happily, "Everyone let the patron saints out for the professor to see!"

"Okay!" "God guard!"...

Harry released a doe, Hermione released an otter, Ron released a dog, Ginny released a pony, Luna released a little rabbit, Zhang Qiu released a swan, and a fox, a wild boar, a cat, and more. What surprised Lockhart the most was that Neville actually summoned an eagle! It seems that Neville is not as stupid as he looks, but a very ideal and ambitious young man!

A clutter of animals circled Lockhart, dazzling him like he was in a zoo.

"Whoever released the fox is as smart as me!" Lockhart asked with a smile.

"Me! Professor!" Seamus raised his hand excitedly.

"Yes, has anyone successfully silently cast the Patronus Charm?" Only a few people raised their hands.

"It's better than I thought." Lockhart encouraged, "I guess none of you can cast the Patronus Charm without a staff."

"No one, that's too hard!" Hermione complained.

George also came today, and he shouted expectantly, "Professor, teach us how to make the Patronus speak!"

His proposal immediately aroused everyone's approval, and everyone looked at Lockhart.

"Great idea, George! Where's Fred?"

"I'm Fred!" George shouted.

"I don't care who you are, what about the other one?" Lockhart annoyed them the most.

"He's looking at the store..."

"I have something to ask you guys, but I'll talk about it when I go back..."

Lockhart wanted to ask the brothers how Ecstasy worked. He wondered if it was normal for him to be so obsessed with Hermione's body odor. Then Lockhart suddenly remembered that Lupin just happened to be unable to find a job very often. Maybe he could do something for Lupin, or let's talk about it later...

"Okay, children, since everyone can summon animals, let's teach everyone this trick. This technique is very practical and can be used to communicate with each other." Lockhart sold out, "Everyone wants to learn the difficult ones. , or simple."

"Of course it's easy!" said Ron.

"Tell us about both, Professor!" Harry had higher demands.

"Okay, let's talk about it then." Lockhart nodded.

"Before I speak, I would like to explain that the simple method can be found in some books, and the complex method was invented by our Headmaster Dumbledore. I don't want to be halfway through, the Headmaster suddenly burst in Call me pirates."

Seeing everyone laughed heartily, Lockhart continued, "Then let me talk about the complicated method first."

"Have you ever studied the released patron saint? Careful students will definitely find that the released animal will actually change according to the character's character, and it is controlled by your subconscious, not really an animal that can act autonomously. If I knock you out, your Patronus will immediately stay and then slowly disappear."

Many people nodded in agreement.

"Then, since you can control it, it shouldn't be difficult to make it speak. It obviously doesn't have our vocal organs, but this is not a problem, as long as your magic control level reaches a certain level, you can shake the air around it by controlling the Patronus. , theoretically can make any sound you want, and two powerful wizards can even use this method to complete a complete conversation."

"My God, what a precise control of magic power!" Hermione screamed, "It's impossible."

"It's very difficult, and the farther you are from your Patronus, the stronger the control you need. Even Headmaster Dumbledore can only use this within the school. If you want to send a message from a distance, you have to use it. Another simple and mindless way-"

"Come on, professor!"

Lockhart summoned his Patronus, "The Patronus is not life, which means we can temporarily enchant it." Lockhart waved his wand: "Echoing Charm!"

Lockhart said to the students, "Okay, whoever can say something."

"Professor Lockhart is so handsome!" Hermione replied loudly, drawing a good-natured laugh.

"Okay, now I have used the Echo Charm to attach the words of classmate Hermione to my Patronus. Now, as soon as the magic I used dissipates, or someone uses a little magic to activate the Echo Charm, this sentence will Will reappear. Who will try?"

Before Lockhart finished speaking, Ginny tapped Lockhart's Patronus with her wand first, and Hermione's voice came out immediately: "Professor Lockhart is so handsome!" It caused a lot of laughter.

"I see, I understand!" Seamus replied excitedly.

"It's simple, right?" Lockhart was satisfied with the students' ability to understand, "Theoretically, as long as you can release the Patronus, you can learn this trick, unless you run out of magic power after you release the Patronus. Okay, let's practice now. ."

Lockhart suddenly remembered something and added: "By the way, I have to remind everyone, if you haven't practiced Occlumency, don't try the complicated methods I said, your mental power is not enough to control such complicated magic. of."

"It's Occlumency again! Professor, when can you teach us Occlumency!" Ron complained dissatisfiedly.

"I'm so sorry, let's see, it's impossible to teach you one by one, but there are other ways to slowly exercise everyone's brain closure ability." Lockhart took out the space folding bag for a while, but couldn't find it. , had to use the Flying Charm to summon the polygraph ball that Scrimgeour gave him, and use the Imprisonment Charm to place him above the room of the Response Room~www.readwn.com~ This is a polygraph ball commonly used by the Ministry of Magic , it can tell whether what a person is saying is true or false, it has a 99% success rate, the only possibility of failure is that the speaker thought he was telling the truth in the first place - or he successfully hypnotized himself , make yourself believe your own lies..."

"Of course, it's impossible for you to fool this thing. But, it works on basic legilimency, judging whether you believe what you say yourself, and if it's true, it turns green, a lie It turns red. - If the person being tested shuts off their brain, it doesn't respond."

"What a great thing!"

"However...compared to Veritaserum and the real Legilimency, this effect is much worse. Generally, it is only used to deal with petty crimes. He can only judge true and false, and cannot be used for interrogation. Now, I have fixed this thing. Here, students who want to learn Occlumency can come and lie about this thing every day, **** or something..."

Lockhart said happily: "If one day, you can lie to this ball and still make it transparent, then congratulations, your Occlumency has already started, and if you want to continue your practice, you need to find a mentor. I'll happily serve as a mentor for any of you to continue Occlumency."

"Okay, it's settled, Professor!"

"Professor is so annoying, Harry is so annoying, two hateful guys..." A strange voice came, it turned out that Ginny, who was restless, had already started to play the polygraph ball, only to see the polygraph ball changing rapidly into red.

"Yes, it's Ginny's way of playing. Of course, if the ball turns green, it means Harry and I are really annoying..."

(I didn't ask for tickets for fear of bad scenery in the last chapter, and now I continue to ask for recommended tickets...)
