"Oh! So that's how it is!"
Listening to Link's explanation, Hermione pretended to agree with a suddenly realized expression.
Regarding Black's family, Hermione, who was concerned about the safety of Harry, had long since borrowed the endless time obtained by the "Time Twister" to find out.
And the reason she was deliberately provoking this topic now was to test if Link was the one who led the dementor to persecute Harry.
Of course, Hermione naturally knew how reckless and dangerous this behavior was.
Link was not a fool like Draco Malfoy, and could easily be tricked into intelligence.
Faced with a smart person like Link, Hermione's idioms are likely to be directly seen through.
And if Link, as Lupin said, is a person to be wary of.
Then she herself is likely to be in danger because of such a reckless move.
However, Hermione really couldn't accept Lupin's statement.
Hermione had been suffering from her heart for the past few days. This painful torture forced her to take the initiative to find Link in an attempt to prove that Link was a real good person.
Fortunately, her first topic test, Link, passed easily.
But the cautious Hermione wouldn't let Link go so easily.
After thinking about it for a while, Hermione decided to try a few more topics.
"Um, Link, speaking of Christmas gifts..." Hermione pursed her mouth nervously, "Do you like the Christmas gift I gave you?"
As soon as Hermione said this, Link cut the sausage with a knife and fork.
Because to be honest, he opened too many gifts this morning, and he has forgotten what Hermione gave.
But you can guess it roughly by guessing alone.
It's nothing more than sneakers and autographed posters of some stars.
After wiping his mouth with a napkin to organize the language, Link smiled and said:
"Of course! I customized a few display cabinets for them, and prepared to put them next to my bed. Honestly speaking, this is quite risky. If you know those things, John, they are very greedy. If they find it, I guess. It's going to pester me every day to beg for it."
"You can never give it to them!"
Hearing this, Hermione stood up almost instinctively and said loudly, then realized that she had overreacted, and blushed and sat down again.
Looking at this scene, the corner of Link's mouth rose unconsciously.
He knows it very well, he guessed it right.
So Link pursued the victory and continued:
"What do you think, this is a gift you gave me, I can't even give it up to let them touch it!"
Sure enough, upon hearing that Hermione pressed her head lower.
At the same time, he whispered in a voice like a cat cry:
"You, I also really like the gift you gave me."
"Hey, you like it."
Link said cheerfully.
Unlike some other passers-by, Hermione and Harry’s gifts were personally selected by Link, and Hermione’s copy contains an autographed edition of the collection he specifically asked for Newt. Where are the Fantastic Animals" and the magic cat stick that can fly by itself and play with cats.
The latter was specially selected by Link to raise Hermione's new big **** cat Crookshanks.
Of course, Link himself doesn't really like Crookshanks.
Because it has a part of the cat and raccoon blood.
The cat raccoon is a kind of weird cat-shaped creature with various spots on its fur, particularly large ears, and a tail like a lion's tail.
Newt's wife has two cats and raccoons. The last time Link visited his house, he saw them. They were so ugly that they had no friends.
Crookshanks has fully inherited the appearance of the cat raccoon. In comparison, the few cats raised by Mrs. Pince who also have part of the cat raccoon pedigree can be described as fairies.
Link kept thinking wildly in his mind, while Hermione at the same time raised her head slightly and said with some embarrassment:
"Actually, I'm only talking about the "Where are Fantastic Beasts". As for the funny cat, Crookshanks doesn't seem to like to play."
After that, Hermione took out a black and white magical photo and placed it in front of Link.
Above that photo, the magic cat wand was flicking a cluster of feathers frantically, but the ugly cat whose face seemed to be squashed by a hammer was just lying on Hermione's bed without moving.
The most exaggerated thing is that it looks at the funny cat-stick eyes very humane, as if it was looking at a mentally handicapped.
The smile on Link's face disappeared immediately.
When seeing this, Hermione was comforted:
"It's not your fault, Crookshanks has always had a weird character. It doesn't even get close to me, and often runs around."
"It's okay, next time I'll give some catnip, it will like it." Link said blankly. "In addition, if it is not close to you, I suggest you lick its py, so that it will I will stay with you."
Hermione's mouth had grown in surprise at this time.
If catnip is fairly normal, then Link's method described later is somewhat unacceptable.
Seeing her expression, Link chuckled and explained:
"I didn't lie to you. When the cat was young, the mother cat would lick the kitten's place to stimulate the kitten to defecate. So if the cat raises his tail with his back to you, it is actually showing you good and inviting you to be like a cat Licking it like a mother. At this time, as long as you put it into action, it will become your closest friend. It's like you signed a contract with it. Do you understand what I say?"
Link said something disgusting, which made Hermione frown.
But there was something moved deep in his heart.
If what Link said is true, wouldn't Crookshanks become obedient?
By then, her relationship with Ron should have improved a lot, after all, the obedient Crookshanks would no longer harass the poor mouse Scab.
Thinking like this, Hermione said:
"No, no, no! That's disgusting! I would never do it!"
Link spread out his hands with a smile, without speaking.
Only then did Hermione, who had reacted, realized that she had been unconsciously biased by Link.
After repeating the true purpose of her trip several times in her heart, Hermione pursed her lips and said:
"Link, what do you think of the dementors?"
Hearing that the smile on Link's mouth became brighter.
In fact, when the topic reached this point, Link had already heard Hermione's temptation to him.
Presumably Hermione must have noticed the anomaly between him and the Dementor for some reason, and suspected it to be the culprit who caused the Dementor to enter the Quidditch Stadium and stun Harry.
For these suspicions, Link had already figured out a way to deal with it.
It's very simple. Just tell the truth while concealing part of the facts.
After all, those dementors weren't really attracted by him.
After making a decision, Link sighed:
"Hermione, in fact, you really don’t need to test me. The anomalous problem between myself and the Dementor is actually not clear to me. But I can tell you responsibly that I am not attracted to and The ability to command the dementors. The dementors on the day of the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff match were not my attraction."
"Ah this... Link, you, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that, I..."
Hermione stammered.
Before coming, she had imagined many situations, but she hadn't guessed that Link would tell her the matter straightforwardly. At this time, she was really anxious.
Her hand rubbed her robe violently under the long table for a while, and Hermione said in a hurry:
"Actually, I just want to ask if you want to learn the Patronus Mantra! Professor Lupin has been giving me special training for Harry and Ron during this period. I can barely release it now!"
After speaking, as if to prove her words, Hermione hurriedly took out her magic wand, closed her eyes and began to draw circles in the void.
Through the Super Sensation Charm, Link can clearly perceive a peculiar positive emotional energy slowly converging on Hermione's wand through Hermione's circular motion.
After drawing for five minutes, Hermione finally opened her eyes and said:
"Call God to guard!"
In the next moment, a layer of silver-white light, as light as a tulle, drifted from the tip of Hermione's staff.
The scope of this light is not large, but it can indeed give others a warm and peaceful feeling.
Seeing this, Link applauded very appreciatively.
The Patronus Mantra is not a third-rate mantra that can be learned simply.
As the only defense against the dark arts that can expel dementors and Voldebats in ancient times, those who want to release it must focus on recalling the happiest memory they can think of to generate positive emotional energy.
At the same time, the caster also needs to draw a circle with a magic wand in a specific arc, guide and accumulate these energy, and finally release the spell.
When the caster has practiced the patron saint curse to a high depth, he can summon the physical patron saint.
Its shape is usually a brilliant and dazzling silver animal. The patron saint of each wizard is different, and its shape can reflect the personality of the wizard.
Most importantly, the effect of the physical patron saint is several times that of the insubstantial patron saint Hermione just released.
However, the scope of the physical patron saint is not very large, so when used to expel dementors in a large area, most wizards will use the non-physical patron saint in reverse, just like Dumbledore originally on the Quidditch field. Do that.
Generally speaking, minor wizards can't learn the patron saint curse, even if they can learn it, they are unsubstantial patron saints.
In terms of learning difficulty alone, the Patronus Mantra can even be comparable to Occlumency.
But it is precisely because of its super-high learning difficulty, powerful effects, and the characteristics of positive emotional energy, so for a long time in the past, those wizards who can release the patron saint curse will be regarded as white people fighting for noble causes. Wizards, in certain periods, being able to release physical patron saints and even become one of the thresholds for members of Wisengamao.
Although the effect is not very good, the successful release of such a difficult spell Hermione is already very good.
Seeing Link applauded, Hermione was not only somewhat proud.
She raised her head slightly and said:
"Not bad, but I have practiced for a long time! How about it? Link, do you want to learn?"
Hermione deliberately used two for a long time to emphasize, the hidden meaning in it, Link was very clear, she specified that it was a time twister.
As for whether to learn the Patronus Mantra, it is actually possible to learn it.
After all, since the Patronus Curse can suppress and expel dementors, then maybe it can also have an effect on the same negative energy Mike.
At the same time, Link's own patron saint was also very curious.
But there is no need for Hermione to teach.
Because just now when Hermione was performing the demonstration, Link had already written down the specific magic wand circle technique required to release the Patronus Curse through the Transcendent Charm.
And as a wizard who is proficient in Occlumency, Link also has a unique advantage in controlling his own emotions and brewing positive emotional energy.
Now that both the energy source and the spellcasting technique have been basically mastered, Link felt that he might already be able to directly start trying to release the Guardian God spell.
Thinking about this, Link didn't respond to Hermione, but took out his wand and started to draw circles in the air following the other party's previous actions.
Hermione's eyes widened when she saw this scene.
She really didn't expect Link to start trying to cast spells without saying a word.
Reason is telling her that such a trick like Link is absolutely unsuccessful~lightnovelpub.net~ You must know that she used the time twister to practice for more than a month before barely releasing the patron saint spell.
But deep down, Hermione was expecting it again.
‘If it’s Link, maybe it’s really possible to do it! It's just that if Link did it the first time she tried, then what was she? Mediocre waste? ’
With such complicated thoughts in mind, Hermione stared at the magic wand in Link's hand, blinking her eyes.
On the other hand, things were just as Link expected.
After using the self-hypnosis method of Occlumency to remind himself of the feeling when he defeated Quirrell who was possessed by Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest, Link realized that a steady stream of positive emotional energy was constantly emerging from his heart, and Finally gathered on the wand.
This gave Link a feeling.
Maybe he could really learn the patron saint curse in one go.
Converging his mind, Link continued to condense the positive emotional energy. After the circle drawn by the magic wand in the vision of his Transcendent Charm was completely filled with silver-white energy, he finally stopped his movements.
At the same time, in Hermione's incredulous eyes, she opened her mouth and said:
"Huh God..."
Hum! ~
Halfway through the spell, Link's expression changed suddenly and he stopped chanting.
The energy condensed from the tip of the rod also instantly turned into a silver-white firework visible to the naked eye and exploded.
Looking at this scene, Link's face had become extremely gloomy, and his body was staggered by the sudden explosion.
"Link! Are you okay!?" Hermione was taken aback, and hurried around the long table to support Link, and said in a nervous but relieved tone, "You are too impatient!"
