Capítulo 352: Chapter 351: Two happy things intertwined
Successfully summoned Patronuses come in two forms: physical and non-physical.
Professor McGonagall showed both forms to the two of them a moment ago, but the disembodied Patronus she summoned was not as exaggerated in size as Fish.
If Professor McGonagall's disembodied Patronus was a cloud, the Patronus summoned by Fish was a sea of clouds.
Normally, there is no direct correlation between the size of a non-physical Patronus and the final physical Patronus, and most wizards summon non-physical Patronuses without much difference.
So Professor McGonagall had never seen or heard of a non-physical Patronus like this, which is why she was so confused.
This little guy really can make a fuss over anything.....
Professor McGonagall sighed, and then said to Fish, not quite sure, "Well, maybe your unformed Patronus won't end up being too small.... There's a character in the Chocolate Frog cartoons called Andros the Invincible, whose Patronus is said to be as big as a giant. Perhaps your Patronus will surpass him."
Finally, Professor McGonagall motivated Fish a little.
"Ohhhhhhh!"
(?? ω??)
The kitten's eyes glowed brightly, controlling the "sea of clouds" over his head, flying around the classroom.
"What would Fish's Patronus be?"
"I'm not sure... Normally, a non-physical Patronus should be more or less the same," shrugged Professor McGonagall bitterly, "And there aren't many records of Andros' Patronus, so I don't know what the form of your Patronus will ultimately be."
"Could Fish's Patronus be an oversized marshmallow?"
(●?ω?●)
The cat, suddenly thinking of this possibility, looked at Professor McGonagall with burning eyes.
He loved marshmallows!
"There has never been an image of a Patronus that is not an animal, so it is unlikely to be an artifact like a marshmallow or a natural element like a cloud, and your cloud, while extensive, is otherwise like a non-physical guardian."
Professor McGonagall shook her head with a dumbfounded smile, dismissed the kitten's whimsy, and continued with her instruction.
"Maybe the positive emotions you just felt weren't strong enough, you could try switching to a more pleasant memory and concentrate your mind on it..." she said, "Well, mostly concentrate your mind."
Professor McGonagall knew her cat's nature well, she had no shortage of happy memories, and his attention span was never bad when it came to things Fish was interested in, the only problem was if he could control his nervous mind.
"A more pleasant memory nya..."
(●?ω?●)?
Fish scratched his cat head and wrinkled his forehead in distress.
Because in the cat's mind, whether it was eating Chinese food made by Comey and Sister September, playing with his friends, or listening to Professor McGonagall's stories, it all gave him the same sense of pleasure.
And he had just picked up the memory of Professor McGonagall telling his a story, and Fiah had admitted that Minerva was his favorite.
The kitten sighed in distress for a while.
"Ugh... if only Minerva could cook Chinese food too nya..."
ε=(′ο｀*)
After all, as far as Fish was concerned, it would be the happiest thing in the world to have his favorite Professor McGonagall cooking him his favorite Chinese food.
Professor McGonagall: ???
Although she couldn't quite understand the kitten's thought process, Professor McGonagall was very pleased that Fish was able to relate his greatest joy to her.
So she quietly encouraged him, "You're already better than many adult wizards at summoning Patronus on your first try."
Then Professor McGonagall continued to instruct, "Also, a happy memory doesn't have to be something you actually experienced, it can also be something you would most like to have happened, and then imagine it as if it had happened, think again, is there anything more appropriate..."
"Is it okay for Fish to imagine he beat Minerva?"
?(●?ω?●)?
The kitten immediately thought of something that would make him very happy, and blurted out excitedly.
Professor McGonagall: "..."
(?_?)
Fish: "..."
∑(?°?°?)
After the kitten said that, he also realized that something was wrong.
"Of course it... it works!"
However, to Fish's surprise, Professor McGonagall glared at him, did nothing else and answered in the affirmative through gritted teeth.
In fact, if Fish really could use this memory to summon a physical Patronus, Professor McGonagall would only be happy for him....
Of course, there was still a bit of displeasure left.
After instructing Fish, Professor McGonagall put the irritating kitten aside and turned to Harry, who had been watching the show for half a day.
Having agreed to tutor him together, Professor McGonagall would not favor one over the other.
"Now you try it, Potter."
"Yes, Professor."
Harry struggled to contain his laughter and walked over to Fish's side.
As funny as what had just happened was, Harry wasn't going to get caught up in the excitement of summoning the Patronus, he shook his head vigorously and reorganized his thoughts.
Harry pursed his lips, trying to remember how it felt the first time he rode his flying broom, and then he raised his wand high in his hand, drawing small circles above his head....
"Expecto Patronum!"
With a wave of Harry's wand, a much smaller, thinner silver-white mist leapt from the tip of his wand, swirling for a moment in the clearing in front of him before quickly dissipating.
"Very well, Potter."
Professor McGonagall clapped her hands, genuinely impressed. "You can use the Patronus Charm on your first use, you are as gifted in the art of Defense Against the Dark Arts as your parents were."
Harry would have believed it if he hadn't just seen the huge "sea of clouds" that Fish had conjured ...
Of course, having said that, Harry was actually excited, after all, Fish's great talent had already been demonstrated in other classes, and it was only natural that he couldn't match it.
The bottom line was that, according to Professor McGonagall, if he could summon the white and silver mist, it was only a matter of time before he could summon the Patronus, and even if he couldn't summon the full Patronus, he wouldn't be as defenseless against Dementors as he had been yesterday.
That was enough for Harry.
Later, under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, the two did their best to summon their respective Patronus.
Fish kept summoning the "sea of clouds" that he doesn't know what it is, and this "sea of clouds" keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Harry, after several attempts, finally managed to summon a formless Patronus, which was, like Professor McGonagall's non-physical Patronus, a small ball, about the size of a Quaffle.
Of course, it was no match for Fish's "sea of clouds."
"Very well, you have both initially mastered how to summon your own Patronus, and then you just need to keep practicing, let's stop here for today."
Professor McGonagall was pleased to see that they had both managed to summon a non-physical Patronus, she had not expected Fish and Harry to be able to summon a Patronus in such a short time.
"It's not easy to conjure a full Patronus, and many wizards don't manage it in their entire lives, so you shouldn't worry too much."
He cautioned Fish and Harry again, "As I said before, the Patronus Charm itself is not complicated, the key is the emotions you infuse into it when casting it, both of you have successfully used the Patronus Charm, the next step is to find and practice how to bring out your most positive emotions, it can't be done in a hurry."
After a moment's pause, Professor McGonagall added, "Of course, even if you then conjure a physical Patronus, that doesn't mean you've actually mastered the spell, and don't forget that Patronuses are, in most cases, used against Dementors."
Harry and Fish instantly understood what Professor McGonagall was saying.
When you faced a Dementor, there was no time to remember your happy experiences, and it wasn't easy to be happy with a Dementor around.
"As for future training, it will be every Sunday morning."
Since Harry, unlike Fish, did not have the privilege of wandering at night, and since Sirius Black was nowhere to be seen, Professor McGonagall did not allow him to wander at night.
And since Professor McGonagall had a lot of work to do herself, she was unlikely to allow the two of them to interfere with their studies by practicing the Patronus Charm, so only weekends were suitable.
After confirming their future practice times, Fish and Harry left the Transfiguration classroom.
