"To be honest, I don't really want to pretend to be an expert in teaching," Aberforth said as he took out four bottles of butterbeer from under the bar and placed them on the old counter.
After Albert paid 8 Sickles, he scooped up four bottles of butterbeer and distributed them to everyone.
Aberforth put Sickle into the wooden safe and continued the previous topic, "The magic we use is not just one way. Wizards have further improved the magic and made it change according to the wishes of the caster. This is a more advanced use of magic."
"Wizards usually call it advanced something." Aberforth took a puff of cigarette and blew out a smoke ring leisurely. "Of course, the reason why magic is called advanced is that these changes belong to the further application of magic. Many wizards don't know about it, or even can't do it. Their appearance is more due to the wizards' further exploration and research of magic."
"I know this. It's like this, right!" Albert raised his wand and used fluorescent flashing. A ball of light floated up from the top of the wand and hovered above everyone's heads. The originally dim Pig's Head Bar suddenly became bright.
Aberforth couldn't help but widen his eyes and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he forgot that he was smoking just now. The smoke came out of his mouth, choking Aberforth and making him cough repeatedly.
"Well, I guess so!" Aberforth was amazed at Albert's magical talent. Even Albus, at his age, could not achieve this level.
"Of course, the Patronus Charm is much more difficult than this, because the Patronus Charm itself is a profound magic, so the advanced changes are naturally more difficult." Aberforth ignored the cigarette, walked out from behind the counter, sat on the creaking wooden chair opposite Albert, and continued, "Many people believe that only those with pure hearts can summon a patronus, but this is actually a fallacy. Many people with negative personality traits can also summon a patronus."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other, but Albert was not surprised. He remembered that the toad professor in the fifth part could also summon a patronus.
"It seems that you know these things." Aberforth was a little skeptical whether the person in front of him would become the next Albus in a few years.
"Yes, I know." Albert responded and motioned Aberforth to continue.
"In the process of casting the Patronus Charm, the caster needs to remain confident, focus all his thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment, and have strong magical power to support the spell, and then the spell will be effective." Aberforth said, "You should have read what I wrote to you about how to use the Advanced Patronus Charm."
"I've read it, but I still don't understand some of it. Why don't you explain it yourself?"
Albert had naturally read what Aberforth had written to him, but he felt that those things were useless, or that the simple text descriptions were too abstract.
"You must have a firm will. Negative emotions will affect the release of the Patronus Charm. Many wizards cannot use the Patronus Charm when facing Dementors." Aberforth raised a finger, "You need to learn how to keep yourself happy."
"Most advanced magic requires powerful magical power to support it, and the Patronus Charm is no exception. This is why they can't succeed now." Aberforth raised his second finger and pointed at Fred and the other two who were trying to cast the Patronus Charm.
"Confidence is half of success." Aberforth raised his third finger and said, "But I don't think you lack it."
Even he could see that the person in front of him was very confident and never thought he would fail.
Albert was speechless for a while after listening to this. He actually wanted to let Aberforth get to the point directly, but in the end he held back and did not interrupt the other person.
"If you want to learn the advanced Patronus Charm, you need to make yourself able to use it easily." Aberforth seemed to sense that Albert was a little impatient, and continued, "When you use the Patronus Charm, there will be a gesture of drawing a circle with the wand. This is the process of accumulating power for the spell, and then you need to recite the spell "Expecto Patronus".
"During the process of charging, you need to repeat the content of the message in your brain." Aberforth explained, "So the content of the message is usually not too long."
The Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan could understand every word, but they couldn't understand what they were saying.
"Um!"
Albert probably understood what the other party meant.
"The Patronus Charm is used to send messages. Its power itself is not very strong. It is usually difficult to maintain the form of a physical Patronus. It takes a long time of practice to be able to summon a physical Patronus when sending messages."
Albert nodded to show that he understood.
"Got it?" Aberforth sighed in his heart. What a great guy.
"Try it!" he said.
"You haven't finished yet, right!" Albert said suddenly.
"I originally wanted to wait until you could reach that level before telling you the final steps." Aberforth did not want to hide it and continued.
"Next, you need to let the Patronus find the person you want to communicate with. Through a fixed location, its principle is similar to Apparition, and you need to know the exact location. The other method is to find the person directly, which is a bit like the Tracking Spell. Do you know how to use the Tracking Spell? I think this part is a bit too early for you now."
Albert frowned slightly. He really didn't know how to use the tracking spell.
"I'll learn the tracking spell when I get back."
"Expecto Patronus!" Albert recalled the good memories and the message he wanted to convey. Finally, he recited the spell, and only a silver gas came out from the tip of the wand.
Without a doubt, it failed.
"Failure is normal. You need to practice more. No one can master the advanced use of the Patronus immediately after listening to the theory." Aberforth comforted casually.
"Thank you, Mr. Aberforth!" Albert took out a pen and, under Aberforth's astonished gaze, wrote down the method of using the advanced patronus.
Then he called his three friends and left the Hog's Head Pub together.
"I hate the Hog's Head," muttered George.
"That's really strange!" Lee Jordan drank the rest of the butterbeer in one gulp and left with Albert.
"I think the Patronus Charm is hard to learn!"
A pathetically thin puff of gas emanated from Fred's wand.
"Your magical power is not enough. It took me a lot of time to learn it. Of course, using it in front of Dementors is another matter." Albert prepared to return to Hogwarts before other students came to Hogsmeade.
"We want to go to Zonko's Joke Shop," Fred and George said in unison, "We're running out of dung eggs."
"I heard that Zonko has new products." Lee Jordan agreed.
"Okay, but I think we'd better hurry!" Albert took out his pocket watch and shook it in front of the three of them. "I don't want others to catch us wandering around Hogsmeade, lest they complain to the professor."
As it turned out, Albert's words were in vain.
As soon as the three entered Zuko's joke shop, they were attracted by the dazzling array of goods inside. As a result, when they were about to return to Hogwarts, the streets of Hogsmeade were already full of students. The four had to use the Disillusionment Charm and make a big circle to avoid the students passing by.
