Chapter 85: Failed Patronus Charm The duel demonstration between Professor Gale and Harry continued. In other words, Gale was unilaterally teaching Harry a lesson. Harry flew into the sky again and again, and then fell like a kite with a broken string, feeling pitiful and helpless. Even Katum could hardly bear to watch it anymore. "I doubt that Gale has ever thought about teaching seriously. He didn't take this job to be a duel teacher." He tells Bruce, "He probably just likes hitting kids with spells." Finally, amid the distressed looks of the little wizards, the duel demonstration ended. Harry's robes were disheveled, his hair was matted, and he had been severely punished. But what was surprising was that there was not a single scar on his body.
It seemed that Gale really just wanted to teach Harry a lesson and had no real intention of hurting him. After the duel demonstration, Professor Gale felt refreshed. "In fact, I was very restrained when I attacked just now." He said, "If you really encounter a dark wizard, he will be a hundred times more ruthless than me!" Then Gale's concerned expression returned and he comforted Harry. "It's okay. You've performed very well today." He patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "But as Dumbledore's favorite student, you have to do better!" Harry nodded weakly, completely unaware of when he had become the Headmaster's favorite student. When Harry stepped off the dueling stage, Gale resumed his speech-making demeanor. "What I just demonstrated to you is the spell created by that genius wizard, whom I named Red Broom Star. "The creator's name is Gellert Grindelwald. I hope everyone will remember it deeply." The little wizards nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would definitely remember it. But they didn't quite understand why the spell created by Grindelwald was named by Professor Gale. "Okay, now let's continue with the class." Grindelwald, oh no, Professor Gale glanced down. "Everyone must strive to master this spell within a month!" …… Over the next week, a strange scene unfolded within Hogwarts. All the little wizards always hold their wands in their hands and wave them constantly.
Students can be seen practicing spells in the cafeteria, corridors, and even in corners. Even when they were taking other classes, they would put their hands under the desks and practice the Red Broomstick Spell. Once in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, a classmate suddenly succeeded in an experiment. The Red Broomstick was launched, knocking the desk in front of him away, and the scattered parchment fell on Professor McGonagall's face. Then the student was put in confinement for a week. The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye. Bruce walked through the corridor and headed for the training room that Dumbledore had notified him of in advance. Then he saw Snape and Professor Gale in a corner, who seemed to be having a heated argument. Bruce heard their conversation - "You must apologize to him for this!" Snape said, "Harry is just a child. You made him look bad in front of so many students. Do you know how much psychological damage it will cause to him?" "This is just a demonstration, and accidents are inevitable." Professor Gale looked at me unkindly, "And Snape, I must warn you, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this!" "Then there will be one today!" Snape did not back down. "I must seek justice for Harry. If you are unwilling to apologize, then we will go to Dumbledore to make a decision!" Gale frowned at the mention of Dumbledore's name. After a long time, he finally made a difficult concession. "Just this once, Snape, just this once!" Gale said coldly, "I still hope you can understand that I am not giving in for your sake!" Bruce didn't feel strange seeing this scene. Everyone in the school knew how partial Snape was to Harry. He ignored the argument and hurried to the training room. When he arrived at the training room, Dumbledore was already waiting there. "I'm sorry, Mr. Principal, I'm late." "It's okay, I just got here too." Dumbledore didn't care about this little thing and started today's training directly. "The spell I am about to demonstrate and teach you is a very advanced form of magic, Bruce." Dumbledore took out his wand. "The Patronus Charm is far beyond the level of ordinary wizards. I don't know if you can learn it." Bruce nodded seriously, listening to the principal's explanation. "The Patronus is a positive force, Bruce, get out your wand."
Bruce drew out the Supreme Wand and made a move to prepare to cast a spell. "The incantation of the Patronus Charm is - Expecto Patronus!" Dumbledore synchronized his movements with Bruce's. "When you recite this spell, you must also focus your mind and recall a particularly pleasant moment in your life. This spell will only work." A particularly joyful moment? Bruce was suddenly stunned, his mind went blank. But Dumbledore didn't know his current condition, and just said: "Now, follow my movements - Expecto Patronus!" Bruce hurriedly shouted out the spell: "Expecto Patronus!" A loud phoenix cry came from the tip of Dumbledore's wand, and a silver phoenix flew out. On the other hand, nothing happened to Bruce. Just a ball of silver-white gas jumped out from the tip of the Supreme Magic Wand, and then quickly disappeared. The spell failed. Dumbledore did not expect this situation to happen. Bruce's magical talent was well-known among the teachers and he could learn any spell immediately. But this time something unexpected happened. "What happened, Bruce?" Dumbledore said quietly. "What did I not make clear?" "No, no!" Bruce shook his head, a rare look of frustration appearing on his face. "It's my problem. I can't think of any particularly pleasant memories." Dumbledore's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that he was negligent. Bruce is an orphan. It is normal that he grew up in loneliness and has no happy memories. that's the truth. When he was casting the spell just now, all Bruce could think of were the times he spent with his parents, memories that he treasured. But no matter how pleasant those memories were at the time, I still feel sad when I think about the fact that my parents have left me. The original happiness will also turn into pain. "I'm sorry, Bruce." Dumbledore apologized, "It seems that now is not the time for you to learn the Patronus Charm. Shall we learn something else?" Seeing Bruce's desolate look, Dumbledore felt a little guilty. At this moment, he really wanted to apologize for his unwise behavior just now. "What to study?"
Bruce asked, looking up. The instant he came out of his sadness made Dumbledore stunned for a moment. But he quickly adjusted and focused on his current teaching. What to learn? Suddenly, he thought of the fact that many teachers had recently reported to him that young wizards were practicing the Red Broomstick Spell. He knew what to teach next. "Bruce, what do you think of the Red Broom Star that Professor Gale taught you?" "It's a very powerful spell," said Bruce. "Then I will teach you a spell that can directly make the Red Broom Star Curse ineffective." Dumbledore smiled and said, "After you learn this spell, you can give Professor Gale a big surprise."
