Chapter 227 Ravenclaw Training Camp (Modified)
Contrary to the popular Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions class is simply terrible - Slytherin head Professor Severus Snape is in a particularly bad mood these days, and everyone knows the reason bright.
News of the Boggart taking the form of Professor Snape, and Neville of Gryffindor dressing him in his grandmother's clothes, spread like wildfire through the school.
Professor Snape didn't seem to think it was funny at all. From then on, whenever he heard Professor Lupine's name mentioned, his eyes would stare viciously.
In Ravenclaw, there are only two young wizards who are the least reprimanded.
One was Allen—although Snape had troubled him a few times because of previous conflicts, he was not caught by the other party in the end, and his performance in the Potions class finally made the professor seem to give up. This kind of mind.
The other is Michael Koner - he's also always been gifted with potions.
After an incident protecting Luna against Malfoy, Michael quickly bonded with Alan.
Allen felt that although this guy with black hair was a little exaggerated, and he liked to brag about himself, and he was a little playful-it is said that he had changed girlfriends a few times, but overall he was still affectionate and courageous, and he was a suitable person to be. friends of people.
Ravenclaw's training camp can finally officially begin.
Inspired by Allen's house elf, Maggie, all the house elves in Hogwarts helped Allen pay attention to creatures like Boggarts.
A house-elf found a boggart in an old attic cupboard, and the boggart, in the form of Dumbledore, handed it a piece of clothing.
"Fanta was terrified!" Maggie said after handing the Boggart to Allen, "but it wanted to complete the task, so it dragged the Boggart back."
"Maggie, you've done a great job, you've worked hard!" Allen never doubted the execution ability of the house elves, and they would do everything possible to fulfill their master's orders.
Under the leadership of Maggie, Allen came to the kitchen to thank the elves——when Allen distributed the pastries prepared by Mrs. Harris to the elves, the elves excitedly expressed that Ravenclaw's elves Wizards can get enough pastries and drinks as supper after training.
Everything was ready, and after discussing with Penello, Allen issued a notice for the evening training camp. During dinner, the little wizards of Ravenclaw happily talked about the evening training camp, and everyone was looking forward to it.
At eight o'clock in the evening, almost all Ravenclaws gathered in the Charms classroom. The Charms classroom was arranged as a training ground. At the end of the classroom, there was an old wooden cabinet with a simple shape.
The Boggart inside heard the sound outside and knocked the cabinet into a "bang bang".
Penelope Clearwater showed the momentum of the president of the female student union, and walked onto the podium with long legs, "Hello everyone: I am Penelope, and I am very happy to see Ravenclaws gathered together. We We all know that the dementors are stationed around the school now. None of us can guarantee when they will rush into the school and cause harm to us." She paused and continued: "So, after getting With the consent of Professor Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick, we decided to hold a training camp every Sunday night to learn the Patronus Charm."
There was a burst of applause below, and Allen saw that even Luna, who usually didn't seem to care much about anything, was clapping her hands, obviously very interested.
Penello pressed his hands down, and the auditorium was silent.
"Alan Harris, on the Hogwarts Express, successfully defended against hundreds of dementors, he will be our main trainer, do you agree?"
"Alan is the main trainer." Edward immediately echoed the president of the student union.
"That's right, but I think we should formally elect," Penello said calmly, "so that he can be formally empowered. So—who thinks Allen should be our head trainer?"
All hands up,
Even those Ravenclaws in seventh year were no exception.
"Thank you for your trust in me." Alan bowed in a gentle manner, and his deliberate British gentlemanly demeanor won warmer applause from the little wizards.
When the applause stopped, Penello said seriously: "I will be Alan's assistant, responsible for some communication, sign-in, and organizational work. If you can't come to practice due to special circumstances, you must ask me for leave. Students who don't come three times, deemed to have waived participation."
Penelope looked serious, with an aura of calmness and prestige.
"Due to limited time and we only have one Boggart, every student needs to cherish their own practice opportunities. Also, we do not accept applications from other colleges."
Allen's heart jumped, and he felt Penello's eyes turn around him.
"Let them envy you!"
"We have Allen!"
Amidst whispers of approval and laughter, Penello handed the podium to Allen.
"Thanks Penelope," Alan said after she sat down, "I think we need to know a little bit about dementors and the Patronus before we practice."
"Can anyone introduce Dementors to you?" Allen looked down at the students under the podium, and found the feeling of being in an open class in the previous life.
The students around noticed that the crazy girl Luna raised her hand first, and Allen nodded in her direction.
"Wherever a dementor passes, it will suck happiness, remind you of the most terrible things, and its "mouth" under its hood will suck people's souls. They guard Azkaban. Only the Patronus Only the spell can expel it." Luna uttered a long paragraph like singing, and those who knew her looked at her in surprise, it turned out that a crazy girl would say so many words.
"That's very well said, thank you, Luna, Ravenclaw..." Alan realized that he had spoken smoothly, and he smiled awkwardly, "It's a pity that I don't have the right to give you points."
"In fact, dementors have no five senses. There is a hole where it should have a mouth, which can suck away people's happy memories. It can only absorb people's happiness through smell and smell. The deadliest weapon of dementors Known as the "Dementor's Kiss", it is equivalent to killing." Penello stood up suddenly, and the voices of the surrounding discussions suddenly fell, and she continued to add: "As long as the brain and heart are still working, even if you don't have a soul, you Can live too, but you no longer have self-awareness, no memory, no... anything, and no hope of recovery, you just live. An empty shell. Your soul is lost Gone...forever."
Even the senior Ravenclaws who knew this knowledge listened very carefully, and everyone became more aware of the necessity of learning the Patronus Charm.
"Thank you, Penello, for making it very clear." Allen smiled and thanked the other party for his cooperation.
Afterwards, the handouts flew from the podium to the hands of the little wizards accurately. It was the first time for the little wizards of other grades to see Alan distributing handouts like this. The precise magic control in one hand is amazing.
"The handout is related to the Patronus Charm, please read it carefully first." Allen said gently.
