In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Lily Potter has always been a rather special professor on the carriage.

She did not express her inner friendliness unreservedly when treating students like professors such as Macquarie and Lupin.

Whether she was in the usual classroom or met students privately on the carriage, she always had a cold face in most cases, and she looked bland no matter who she looked at.

But after getting along with her for a long time, many students will find that Professor Porter is not as unkind as she appears on the outside. Instead, she treats students with the same gentleness and patience as other professors.

It's just that her emotions were suppressed by another special emotion.

Regarding Lily's past, other professors have never mentioned it to the students. Even if Neville and Ron, whose family and Lily were already familiar with each other, knew some secrets, they had never really talked about Lily with Jon and the others. family".

After getting advice from Lupin, Jon knocked on Lily's office door at the weekend of this week.

The Potions Master was brewing a potion in his office.

After Slughorn left the carriage, she could be said to be the busiest person in the entire school.

There was no school doctor on the carriage, and Lily, as the potions professor, was equivalent to the doctor for all the students in this school.

Under normal circumstances, she would stock up on some potions to treat common illnesses, and some of the magical plants specially cultivated in the greenhouse also require special potions to raise and irrigate. In addition, Lupine came to the carriage this semester to brew wolfsbane potion for him. The work naturally fell on Lily.

Therefore, no matter when anyone comes to Lily's office, they will see a cauldron constantly emitting water vapor in the middle of her office.

"Good morning, Professor Potter." After entering the door, Jon greeted the witch sitting in front of the crucible.

After he walked into the office, a chair automatically slid behind him. Lily did not look at him, but was concentrating on dripping two drops of green liquid into the boiling crucible. The next second, the boiling water He calmed down instantly, and the color of the water turned into an indigo color.

Lily closed the lid of the cauldron before looking up at Jon.

"Something happened?"

She didn't call Jon by his surname or first name, but her calm voice didn't sound distant.

Jon didn't talk about asking for the Patronus Charm when he came up. He first expressed his gratitude to Lily respectfully.

"Since I came back last time, I haven't thanked you enough, Professor, for lending me that invisibility cloak."

"That's not just to help you." Lily sat on the chair in front of the desk. She seemed to be leisurely chatting with Jon for a while, "If you can do what Dumbledore told you to do well, it will be good for the entire school." It’s all beneficial. Besides, since you dared to take such a risk and sneak into the castle, I’m definitely not so selfish that I’m not even willing to take out an invisibility cloak.”

If you just listen to what she said, most people will subconsciously think that the invisibility cloak Lily lent to Jon is just an ordinary thing that can be bought in the magical world with a little effort, but Jon knows better than anyone else. , what does this invisibility cloak inherited from the Potter family mean?

"Besides, I didn't want to give that invisibility cloak to you. It's just that it can only be put in a box and waste its usefulness here. Although I lent it to you, I hope you can use it in real life." A place that reflects its value, not some petty theft that violates school rules.”

She looked at Jon, her tone did not change, but Jon heard something much more serious than serious.

"If I find you doing such a thing, I will take back the invisibility cloak and punish you more severely than Filch."

Even if Lily hadn't told him, Jon wouldn't have taken the invisibility cloak to do such a thing. He wasn't really a teenager of 13 or 14 years old, and he wasn't so bored that he would wear an invisibility cloak and wander around in a carriage at night. To the point of breaking into the room.

"I can assure you that I will not lead you astray with that cloak, Professor."

On the desk, a teapot flew up on its own, pouring a cup of tea into the teacup that had slid in front of Jon. At this time, Jon finally told the main topic of his coming here.

"I am currently following Professor Lupine on the Patronus Charm of the school." He looked at Lily, not seeing how surprised she was at the news on her face. "Professor Lupine told me that Professor you are on this spell." Your level is very high, and you said you could let me come to you for advice.”

Lily picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of the black tea inside.

"Remus told me about this a few days ago. He said that you are making rapid progress in learning the Patronus Charm. In less than half a year, you have been able to achieve the goal of summoning a real Patronus in less than half a year. It’s at a level where it can be effective.”

"But there are some things that he doesn't know. If I could really teach you something before, but now, I am reluctant to use the Patronus Charm myself, let alone teach you."

She didn't look like she was looking for excuses. When Jon thought about it carefully, he could understand that Lily's understanding and mastery of the Patronus Charm had indeed changed based on her experiences.

This kind of spell is originally a spell that is closely related to the caster's emotions and mentality. Each wizard's patron saint is not static after being summoned. It will change with the change in the caster's mentality.

For example, in the original book, Tonks's patronus was a rabbit at the beginning, but after she fell in love with Lupin, the rabbit turned into a wolf.

The patron saint is not a specific creature, it is more like the reflection of the wizard's own heart, a powerful emotional force manifested by magic.

Lily's patronus in the original book should be a doe, her husband James Potter and son Harry Potter's patronus are both stags, and Snape's patronus is exactly the same as hers. A doe.

It is precisely because the Patronus Charm reflects the wizard's heart that Snape and Lily's Patronus are exactly the same, so people can rest assured that he will become a double agent. As long as he still loves Lily, there is absolutely no way he can harm Harry Potter. In this way It is naturally contrary to Voldemort's attitude.

But now there has obviously been a huge change.

After the drastic changes in her family, no one except Lily herself could have imagined how her current patron saint had changed. Even as she said, whether she could use it or not was a matter of reluctance.

Jon could understand this, but he was still a little disappointed. He always felt that he still lacked something in using the Patronus Charm, but he could never grasp what it was and could not mobilize positive emotions. , which is why he was ultimately unable to summon his own patron saint.

However, although Lily couldn't teach him anything that could give him enough improvement as he thought, she still gave him some advice on learning the Patronus Charm.

"Don't just think of the emotions that make up the Patronus Charm as pure positive emotions. Human beings are complex creatures, and emotions are the key to this complexity. The so-called positive emotions are also relative. Some things, when you recall the scene at that time The mood is always sad, but in some different situations, maybe it can give you greater hope."

In the end, Jon didn't stay in Lily's desk for too long. After drinking the tea in the cup, he said goodbye and left.

Instead of going back to the dormitory immediately, he went straight to an empty classroom usually used for Charms classes. When he opened the door and walked in, Hermione was practicing her wand swing skills inside.

Jon leaned against the door and stared at Hermione for a while before giving his own advice.

"I suggest that you don't add too obvious personal habits when finishing the wand, and try to correct them. This will be very helpful for you to learn more advanced spells in the future."

Any classroom on the carriage, except for the astronomy classroom and greenhouse, is allowed to be used privately by students when no students are in class, and the common room is a time for students to rest and relax, so in most cases, if you want to Students who want to practice casting spells will choose an empty classroom.

Especially the Charms classroom, where protective spells have been cast on the walls to protect this side of the carriage from the spell. If it were in the corridor, there would be no such protection. A random spell could leave a hole in the floor. Casting a spell in the corridor was prohibited by school rules, which was the behavior that made Filch the most angry.

Hermione turned her attention to Jon. She rarely went to the common room in her spare time. Even among the students who were rescued from the castle and returned to the carriage, she was one of the hardest working ones.

During this time, Jon's practice of the Patronus Charm was not hidden from others, and the two of them often met in this Charms classroom.

"What happened to asking Professor Potter about the Patronus Charm?" Hermione asked. She obviously knew what Jon had just done.

Jon thought about it and raised the wand in his hand. He waved it gently and recited the spell as before.

"Call the gods to protect you."

Silver light bloomed like a flower on the tip of his staff, but the scattered light was floating around, but there was no sign of it condensing into a solid state.

Looking at the effect of the spell on the tip of the staff, Jon shook his head.

"No matter how clearly the professor explains this curse, I still need to see if I have figured it out."

Hermione looked at the silver light on the tip of his staff, with unspeakable complexity in her eyes.

To be honest, Jon's current troubles are indeed a bit Versailles. They are all in the same grade. Although Hermione has just come to the carriage this year and started learning to cast wands, she is also very clear that Jon's learning in magic has actually surpassed peer.

This was the progress he had made after wasting most of the entire school year trying to save them at Hogwarts Castle.

Sometimes there is really no way to describe things like talent, and Hermione considers herself to be a diligent enough student, but compared to Jon, she feels a little ashamed that she actually has such a mentality.

In fact, this is because she doesn't understand Jon's psychology.

Because he knows what this world should be like, Jon feels more urgent about the current situation. After all, the Voldemort he saw in the book only exists in the book, not to mention that the Dark Lord in that story has already become An unreasonable lunatic.

A madman is scary, but his harm is limited. But in this world, this madman has become much more rational, and that is what makes people truly scary.

Especially for unknown reasons, Dumbledore, who was supposed to be stronger than Voldemort, was even defeated by him, which made Jon feel a suffocating oppression.

He desperately wanted to improve his strength. In order to protect other people on this carriage, or to protect himself, he needed enough strength to lay the foundation.

The ring he got from Slughorn gave him a direction to become stronger, but similarly, he couldn't rely entirely on this ring.

Even Voldemort knows that a wizard's strength should be based on himself, and Jon also knows that he cannot demand something too much. This is why he works so hard in learning ordinary spells even if he is not studying the magic on the ring. s reason.

It was Jon's performance that greatly inspired Hermione.

Always when she felt that she might have worked hard enough, she would think of the boy who rescued her from that "prison", and then she would continue to work hard.

The same goes for everyone else who spends the most time with Jon.

For example, when he first entered school, Ron was a bit lazy and didn't even want to do his own homework. He "borrowed" it from Jon or Neville.

But after the second grade, he never mentioned whose homework he wanted to learn from, and he usually didn't waste time playing wizard chess in the common room. Instead, he went to the library with Justin and Lavender. pavilion.

In the Charms classroom, Jon thought about his emotions and thoughts about the Patronus Charm for a while, and then began to repeatedly practice several spells and transformations that he had mastered.

Talent allows him to learn magic faster, but if he wants to use it without thinking in actual combat, he needs to practice day and night to finally form muscle memory.

And while he was chatting with Hermione and practicing spells, Jon waved his hand at the table, chair and bench in front of him and used a floating spell. A target that should not belong to the spell attracted his attention. force.

He didn't look at the tables, chairs and benches that were already floating in front of him. Instead, he stretched out his hand and carefully pinched a handful of hair from among these floating things.

This bunch of hair is very special. It doesn't look like anyone's hair. The overall color is dark gray, and each strand is very short and slender.

"What's this?"

The first chapter is 4,000, and there will be another 4,000 chapter after 12 o'clock.
