Chapter 210 A new ghost?
Chapter 210 A new ghost?
You know, before the final battle, the Auror of the Ministry of Magic, and Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Minister of Magic after the war, once flew from London to the Burrow with his Patronus lynx,
At Bill and Fleur's wedding, warning the Order of the Phoenix and other guests that the Ministry of Magic has collapsed and the new Minister for Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, has been killed,
London is not that close to the Burrow!
And Professor McGonagall, when Harry returned to Hogwarts to find Rowena Ravenclaw's crown, once separated three patron saint cats and cats to notify the deans of other colleges.
After roughly calculating the flying speed of the Patronus, Charlie did not leave along the door of the Gryffindor common room or look for a window, but came to the wall,
With a thought, he controlled the patron saint to slam into the wall of the common room.
Without a bang, Charlie passed through the wall of the Gryffindor common room like a ghost, and came to the corridor on the eighth floor.
This is one of the abilities of the Patronus, through walls!
The patron saint is a combination of spiritual power, magic power, and thoughts and emotions, so he has no entity, and is somewhat similar in nature to a ghost, and can perform certain transformations between reality and reality.
After leaving the Gryffindor common room, Charlie began to wander around Hogwarts Castle and nearby. He wanted to test how far the Patronus could leave him and how long it could last.
Facts have proved that the second-level Patronus Charm cannot make the Patronus go too far away from Charlie's body. When he came to the edge of the Black Lake and wanted to enter the Forbidden Forest, his intuition told him that he could not go any further.
If he goes any further, his Patronus will dissipate because of the distance,
Therefore, the farthest distance his Patronus can go at present is to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest.
And the time that can be maintained, from the test tonight, can be as long as three hours, this is because a little accident happened during the period,
Otherwise, if you just hang around outside, it should be able to last longer.
What exactly happened?
It started when Charlie returned to the castle from the direction of the Black Lake,
At that time, he had just returned to the castle, and when he was wandering around the fourth floor, he suddenly found two familiar figures, they were the Weasley brothers who came out to wander around at night,
Originally, Charlie didn't intend to disturb the late-night adventure of the two brothers, but something in the hands of the two brothers attracted his attention.
That is a magical item made by the cooperation of Remus Lupine (moon face), Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail), Sirius Black (Padfoot) and James Potter (prongs) in school days-the Marauder's Map.
This is a magical magical item that has been cast with a human footprint spell, and it shows all the information of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft,
It can not only show users every classroom, corridor and corner in the castle, but also every inch of land on the school grounds, as well as the hidden secret passages, and the location of everyone is also indicated by dots on it.
The map also correctly identified everyone, whether they were an Animagus, took Polyjuice Potion, or wore an invisibility cloak.
Even the ghost of Hogwarts and the mischievous elf Peeves appear on the map,
And his only flaw is that he cannot distinguish between people with the same name (such as father and son with the same name).
Also, the Marauder's Map doesn't show all of the school's locations, such as the Room of Requirement and the Chamber of Secrets, possibly because those who drew the map didn't know about them,
Of course, Charlie felt that it was because they had been cast by the builder with a powerful spell that could not be plotted,
When Ron and Hermione enter the Chamber of Secrets to find the Basilisk's fangs, their locations do not appear on the Marauder's Map, and people who enter the Room of Requirement also disappear on the Marauder's Map.
Before Charlie was practicing kung fu and specializing in magic, he really forgot that there was such a good thing as the Marauder's Map. Today, when he saw the two Weasley brothers holding it in their hands, he suddenly remembered,
It is very useful to think about it. Mastering the Marauder's Map means mastering the dynamics of everyone in the castle, including Dumbledore, which will be very helpful for him to act in the castle later.
And he can also use the Marauder's Map to monitor whether any little wizard has gone to the bathroom of the Moaning Myrtle on the third floor,
Of course, he couldn't carry the Marauder's Map to monitor every day. He mainly needed his group of cat and cat agents to monitor, but having the Marauder's Map was equivalent to having an extra pair of eyes. He could check it whenever he wanted, and it was very convenient to find someone.
Such a useful magic item, in the hands of the Weasley brothers, is only used to avoid the searches of Filch and Mrs. Norris, it seems a bit too talented,
So he still decided to take the Marauder's Map from the hands of the two brothers,
The big deal is to tell Mrs. Norris next time that when you see the Weasley brothers, don't tell Filch again.
Near the end of the night,
The two Weasley brothers were holding the Marauder's Map, and while avoiding the patrol positions of Filch and Mrs. Norris on the map, they quietly walked towards a certain secret passage.
The two planned to sneak into Slytherin's dormitory quietly and drop two dung bombs in that Marcus Flint's room to make fun of the Slytherin captain in order to avenge their previous robbery of the Gryffindor team's Quidditch training ground.
However, when they finally avoided Filch, Mrs. Norris, and the ghosts of the castle, and reached the door of the secret passage on the fourth floor, a strange voice suddenly sounded behind them:
"It's so late, you two are not sleeping in the dormitory, what do you want to do?"
The Weasley brothers, who had been walking while looking at the Marauder's Map, were startled by the voice that suddenly appeared behind them.
Because they didn't see anyone or ghosts near them on the Marauder's map.
The two brothers turned around stiffly, looked in the direction of the voice,
I saw a young man of Chinese descent with white light all over his body floating in the air at this time, looking at the two with a smile that was not a smile.
"Hey, are you the new ghost of the castle?"
Seeing that it wasn't the gatekeeper Filch or a school professor like Snape, the two were immediately relieved and returned to their hippie smiles.
The Patronus Charm is an extremely profound spell. Although many young wizards have heard of it, they have not seen it much. The Weasley brothers know the Patronus Charm.
After all, their parents are both powerful wizards who can use the Patronus Charm, but the Weasleys will not release their Patronus without incident.
And Charlie's patron saint is human, not a regular animal, and here is Hogwarts Castle, where there are more ghosts.
So the first time they saw Charlie, they didn't recognize him as the patron saint, but thought he was a new ghost in the castle.
