The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

"Oh! That's what it is!"

Listening to Link's explanation, Hermione feigned a sudden realization.

Regarding Blake's family, Hermione, who was concerned about Harry's safety, had already checked it out with the endless time obtained by the "Time Twister".

And the reason why she deliberately provokes this topic now is to test whether Link is the one who attracted the Dementors to persecute Harry.

Of course, Hermione knew how reckless and dangerous this kind of behavior was.

Link is not a fool like Draco Malfoy, who can easily get information out.

In the face of a smart person like Link, there is a high probability that Hermione's clichés will be directly seen through.

And if Link, as Lupin said, is a man to be wary of.

Then she herself is very likely to be in danger because of such a reckless move.

However, Hermione really couldn't accept Lupin's statement.

In the past few days, Hermione has been suffering from inner torment. This painful torment forced her to take the initiative to find Link, in an attempt to prove that Link is a really good person.

Fortunately, Link passed the first topic test she threw out easily.

But the cautious Hermione wouldn't let Link go so easily.

After thinking for a while, Hermione decided to explore a few more topics.

"Uh, Link, speaking of Christmas presents..." Hermione pursed her lips nervously, "Do you like the Christmas present I gave you?"

As soon as Hermione said this, Link's action of cutting the sausage with a knife and fork was a meal.

Because to be honest, he opened so many gifts this morning that he had long forgotten what Hermione gave.

But it can be roughly guessed just by guessing.

It is nothing more than the sneakers and signed posters of some stars.

Using the napkin to wipe his mouth, Link organized the language, and said with a smile:

"Of course! I have custom-made a few display cabinets for them, and I'm going to put them next to my bed. To be honest, this is quite a risk. You must know that those things are very greedy for John and the others. If they find them, it is estimated that You’re going to pester me every day to ask for it again.”

"You absolutely can't give it to them!"

Hearing this, Hermione stood up almost instinctively and said loudly, and then realized that she had overreacted, and sat down again blushing.

Looking at this scene, the corners of Link's mouth rose unconsciously.

He knew very well that he had guessed right.

So Link took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued:

"What are you thinking, this is a gift you gave me, I don't even want to let them touch it!"

Sure enough, hearing this, Hermione lowered her head even lower.

At the same time, he said softly in a voice like a cat meowing:

"You, I also really like the gift you gave me."

"Hey, as long as you like it."

Link said happily.

Unlike some other passers-by, the gifts from close people such as Hermione and Harry were personally selected by Link, and Hermione's share contained an autographed copy of the collection that he specially asked for Newt. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and a magic cat wand that can fly by itself and play with cats.

The latter was specially chosen by Link for Hermione's new ginger cat, Crookshanks.

Of course, Link himself doesn't actually like Crookshanks.

Because it has part of the cat raccoon lineage.

The cat raccoon is a strange cat-shaped creature with various spots on its fur, particularly large ears and a tail like a lion's tail.

Newt's wife has two lichen cats. The last time Link visited his house, they were so ugly that they had no friends.

Crookshanks has fully inherited the appearance of the cat raccoon. In comparison, the cats raised by Mrs. Pings, who also have part of the cat raccoon blood, can be described as fairies.

Link kept thinking wildly in his mind, but at the same time Hermione raised his head slightly,

Some embarrassed said:

"Actually, I'm just talking about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. As for the funny cat stick, Crookshanks doesn't seem to like it very much."

After speaking, Hermione took out a black and white magic photo and put it in front of Link.

On the photo, the magic cat wand was frantically fluttering a tuft of feathers, but the ugly cat whose face looked like it had been smashed by a hammer just lay on Hermione's bed and didn't move.

The most exaggerated thing is that it looks at the funny cat stick with very humanized eyes, as if it is looking at a mentally handicapped person.

The smile on Link's face disappeared immediately.

Upon seeing this, Hermione comforted:

"It's not your fault. Crookshanks has always had a weird personality. He doesn't even get close to me, and he runs around a lot."

"It doesn't matter, next time I'll send some catnip, it's designated to like it." Link said with a blank expression, "Also, if it's not close to you, I suggest you lick its py, so that it can I will stay with you."

Hermione's mouth widened in surprise at this time.

If catnip is still relatively normal, then the method described by Link later is somewhat unacceptable.

Seeing her expression, Link laughed and explained:

"I'm not lying to you. When cats are young, their mothers will lick their kittens to stimulate them to defecate. So if a cat lifts its tail with its back to you, it's actually showing you a favor and inviting you to be like a cat. Lick it like a mother. At this time, as long as you take action, it will become your closest friend. It's like you signed a contract with it, do you understand when I say that?"

What Link said was disgusting, which made Hermione frown.

But there was something moving in his heart.

If what Link said was true, wouldn't Crookshanks become obedient?

By then, her relationship with Ron should have improved a lot. After all, the obedient Crookshanks won't bother the poor mouse again.

Thinking so, Hermione said:

"No no no! That's disgusting! I would never do it!"

Link smiled and spread out his hands, but did not speak.

And at this time, Hermione, who had reacted, suddenly realized that she had been led off topic by Link before she knew it.

After repeating the real purpose of her trip several times in her heart, Hermione pursed her lips and said:

"Link, what do you think about Dementors?"

Hearing that, the smile on the corner of Link's mouth became even brighter.

In fact, at this point, Link had already heard Hermione's temptation to him.

Presumably Hermione must have noticed the anomaly between him and the Dementors for some reason, and suspected that he was the culprit in causing the Dementors to enter the Quidditch pitch and stun Harry.

And for these doubts, Link has long thought of a way to deal with them.

It's as simple as telling the truth while hiding some of the facts.

After all, those dementors were really not attracted by him.

After making the decision, Link sighed and said:

"Hermione, you really don't need to test me. The anomalous problem between myself and the Dementors is actually not clear to me. But I can tell you responsibly that I did not attract and The ability to command dementors. I didn't get the dementors on the day of the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff game."

"Ah... Link, you, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that, I..."

Hermione stammered.

Before she came, she had imagined many situations, but she never guessed that Link would tell her the matter directly. At this time, she was really in a hurry.

The little hands rubbed the robes under the long table for a while, and then Hermione said in a hurry:

"Actually, I just wanted to ask if you want to learn the Patronus Charm! Professor Lupin has been giving me, Harry and Ron special training, and now I can barely release it!"

After speaking, as if to prove her words, Hermione hurriedly took out her wand, closed her eyes and began to draw a circle in the void.

Through the supersensory spell, Link could clearly perceive a strange positive emotional energy slowly converging on his wand through Hermione's circular movements.

And after a full five minutes of drawing, Hermione finally opened her eyes and said:

"Call God Guard!"

The next moment, a layer of silver-white light as pale as a gauze floated from the tip of Hermione's wand.

The effect of this light is not large, but it does give others a warm and peaceful feeling.

Seeing this, Link applauded enthusiastically.

The Patronus Spell is not a third-rate spell that can be learned easily.

As the only Defence Against the Dark Arts that has been handed down from ancient times to expel dementors and Voldemort bats, in order to release it, the caster must concentrate on recalling the happiest memories they can think of to generate positive emotional energy.

At the same time, the caster also needs to use the magic wand to draw circles in a specific arc, to guide and accumulate these energy, and finally release the mantra.

And when the caster exercises the Patronus Charm to a high depth, he can summon the physical Patronus.

Its shape is usually a dazzling silver animal, each wizard's patron saint is different, and its shape can reflect the wizard's personality.

The most important thing is that the effect of the physical Patronus is several times that of the non-physical Patronus that Hermione just released.

However, the role of the physical Patronus is not large, so when it is used to expel dementors in a large area, most wizards will use the non-physical Patronus in turn, just like Dumbledore used it on the Quidditch pitch. do that.

Generally speaking, underage wizards cannot learn the Patronus Charm, and even if they can, they will release a non-materialized Patronus.

In terms of learning difficulty alone, the Patronus Charm is even comparable to Occlumency.

But it is precisely because of its super high learning difficulty, powerful effects, and characteristics that require positive emotional energy, so for a long time in the past, those wizards who were able to release the Patronus Charm were regarded as white men who fought for a noble cause. Wizards, being able to unleash a physical Patronus at certain times were even one of the thresholds for membership in the Wizengamot.

Although the effect is not very good, it is already very good that Hermione can successfully release such a difficult spell.

Seeing Link applaud for him, Hermione was not only a little proud.

She raised her head slightly and said:

"That's right, I've been practicing for a long time! How is it? Link, do you want to learn?"

Hermione deliberately used two long periods of time to emphasize. Link was very clear about the hidden meaning behind it. She specified that she was using a time twister.

As for whether or not to learn the Patronus Spell, you can actually learn it.

After all, since the Patronus Charm can suppress and expel the dementors, maybe it can also have an effect on Mike, who is also full of negative energy.

At the same time, Link's own patron saint is also very curious.

But there was no need for Hermione to teach.

Because when Hermione was demonstrating just now, Link had already written down the specific wand-circle technique needed to release the Patronus Charm through the Super Sensation Charm.

And Link, as a wizard who is proficient in Occlumency, also has a unique advantage in controlling his emotions and brewing positive emotional energy.

Now that the energy source and spell casting technique have been basically mastered, Link feels that he may be able to start trying to release the Patronus Charm directly.

Thinking like this, Link didn't respond to Hermione, but took out his wand and began to draw circles in the air, learning from the other party's previous movements.

Hermione's eyes widened in surprise when she saw this scene.

She really didn't expect Link to start trying to cast spells without saying a word.

Reason was telling her that a method like Link's would never be successful. She had to use the time twister to practice for more than a month before she could barely release the Patronus Charm.

But deep down, Hermione was looking forward again.

'If it's Link, maybe he can actually do it! It's just that if Link did it the first time she tried, what was she? A mediocre waste? ’

With such complicated thoughts in mind, Hermione stared at the wand that kept drawing circles in Link's hand, and blinked reluctantly.

On the other hand, things were just as Link had expected.

After using the self-hypnosis method of Occlumency to remind himself of how he felt when he defeated Quirrell who was possessed by Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest, Link realized that a steady stream of positive emotional energy was constantly emerging from his heart, and Eventually converge on the wand.

This gave Link a feeling.

Maybe he can really learn the Patronus Charm in one go.

Concentrating his mind, Link continued to condense positive emotional energy. After the circle drawn by the magic wand in the vision of his super-sensation spell was completely filled with silver-white energy, he finally stopped the movement in his hand.

At the same time, in Hermione's unbelievable eyes, he opened his mouth and said:

"Shut up..."

hum! ~

Halfway through the incantation, Link's expression suddenly changed, and he stopped chanting abruptly.

And the energy condensed by the tip of the stick also instantly turned into a silver-white fireworks visible to the naked eye and exploded.

Looking at this scene, Link's face became extremely gloomy, and his body staggered a bit because of the sudden explosion.

"Link! Are you alright!?" Hermione was startled, and hurriedly went around the long table to support Link, and said in a nervous but relieved tone, "You are too impatient!"
