The wizard in Hogwarts is unscientific

Listening to Andy's examples of the similarities between the Patronus Charm and the Obscurus, Hermione's little head followed little by little: What you said makes sense.

"And Headmaster Dumbledore's patronus."

Andy said in a serious tone: "Normal patron saints are silver-white and are ordinary animals. But Principal Dumbledore's patron saint is a blue phoenix."

"Magical creatures?" Hermione looked surprised.

Andy nodded, "Principal Dumbledore's special patronus is not a secret in the wizarding world. Haven't we seen the papers published by Principal Dumbledore when he was young? He studied the Obscurus when he was young."

"Then where do you plan to start your research?"

Hermione also became interested after hearing this, "To cast the Patronus Charm, you need to recall happy memories... You can try to start from the emotional aspect."

Andy shrugged and said helplessly: "I tried it, but it didn't work at all. If it were really that simple, the Patronus Charm wouldn't be what it is now."

"What you said makes sense." Hermione nodded.

If the Patronus Charm could be mutated by using different emotions to cast it, the Patronus Charm would have been perfected by the predecessors in the magic world.

Hermione thought for a long time and pulled her hair in distress, "What should we do?"

Andy waved his wand, and the Cat Patronus flew in front of Hermione. He rolled his fat body and said, "I can only try it slowly."

"so cute!"

Hermione looked at the silver-white fat cat in front of her with sharp eyes, and said in a longing tone: "I don't know what kind of animal my patronus will be."

Andy looked up at Hermione and said, "Maybe it's a rabbit... Oops!"

Hermione stepped on Andy angrily and was about to say something, but as if she thought of something, she just pursed her lips and said nothing, staring at Andy fiercely.

"It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Andy rubbed the little witch's head and said, "It's quite cute."

Hermione knocked Andy's hand away angrily, rolled her eyes at Andy, then picked up the book and covered her face, pretending that nothing happened.

"Hello, Hermione?" Andy continued to chat.

"Leave me alone, I'm reading a book." Hermione said without raising her head.

Andy flicked his wand, and the fat cat Patronus passed through the books and appeared in front of Hermione.

Hermione: "..."

"If you have nothing to do, just read by yourself."

Hermione glared at Andy and said, "If it doesn't work, just practice magic."

Okay, it's pissed off.

"Aren't I getting ready to practice?"

Andy decisively changed the subject, "Hermione, how do you think Principal Dumbledore's Patronus came to be?"

"Phoenix?"

Hermione thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know either...but I guess there is a place where I might be able to find the answer."

"Restricted Book Zone!"

Andy also thought about it and could only say helplessly: "It's a pity that we are already on vacation."

Ever since he last watched "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed" in the principal's office, Andy has been afraid to face Dumbledore, so much so that he didn't even dare to go to the forbidden book area.

Andy doesn't think he did anything wrong. What's wrong with loving learning? Right?

It's just that Dumbledore...

In short, Andy feels a little guilty.

"When next semester starts, you can ask Professor Flitwick to sign the restricted book area."

Hermione suggested: "Anyway, you have already completed the second and third grade courses on your own, and Professor Flitwick likes you so much. As long as you don't read books related to dark magic, the professor should agree."

Andy: "..."

Hearing Hermione's words, Andy wanted to give himself a big pussy.

Sure enough, people who are used to taking shortcuts often forget how to take the right path.

Andy was used to sneaking into the forbidden book area, so he naturally ignored the fact that he could ask the professor for his signature.

"well!"

Andy sighed, "We can only wait until next semester."

I regret that I wasted two months in vain.

Andy waved his wand and the fat cat patronus dispersed automatically.

After learning the Patronus Charm, Andy also tried to use other emotions to cast spells. But except for happy memories, all other memories failed.

Hermione suddenly asked: "Andy, what memory were you thinking about when you cast the Patronus Charm?"

Of course the memory of finding yourself transported into a magical world.

That was the memory Andy recalled when he successfully cast a spell for the first time.

"Memories of being with family," Andy said.

This is not a lie.

In order to test the Patronus Charm, Andy tried many memories, and 'Being with Family' was just one of them, and the spell was successfully cast.

Andy has tried both his current family and his family in his past life.

"The joy of being with family comes from the love of family."

Hermione analyzed it seriously: "After you go home, you can try it around your loved ones. Maybe you will have different effects."

Andy thought about it and felt a little disapproving.

If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so few wizards in the wizarding world who would use the Patronus Charm.

But Hermione's words did remind Andy of one thing.

Dumbledore must have had a very painful memory when he was young.

Let’s connect it to Dumbledore’s current character…

A sea change of the soul?

"Thanks, I'll give it a try." Andy said.

Hermione raised the book in her hand to indicate that she was going to read.

Andy spread his hands, indicating that he could help himself.

The carriage became quiet.

Andy tried the Patronus Charm a few more times. As he became more and more proficient in magic, he could successfully cast many "not particularly happy" memories.

But judging from the power of magic, the power of the patron saint spell cast by different memories is not the same.

The Patronus Charm can be said to be the most intuitive display of the impact of emotions on the power of magic.

Andy closed his eyes and thought.

"Happy memories..."

In fact, what Hermione just said reminded Andy of something.

The so-called happy memories... are actually more than just happiness.

For example: being with your family is the love that comes from family affection.

Happiness is just an appearance. Hidden under happiness are things that can make you happy.

"So...the memory used to cast the Patronus Charm itself contains a lot of positive emotions."

"It's just not extreme enough!"

And before that, many people must have made similar attempts, but they all failed.

"Well... the birth of Obscurus, in addition to the extreme negative emotions, more importantly, is actually the unstable magic power in the wizard child."

Andy pondered in his mind... Could the painful memories of Dumbledore's teenage years have made his emotions so extreme that he would suffer from 'unstable magic'?
