Chapter 154 152. Improvement
Far away in the French Ministry of Magic, Adele Roland, the chief witch judge, was sitting at her desk staring at a yellowed parchment.
As the top three political figures in the French Ministry of Magic, this witch, who is less than 50 years old, is naturally pampered. Her dark green hair is tied into a bun. Except for some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her whole face still looks charming.
She wore a pair of black-framed glasses on her face, which added a touch of mystery to the already majestic atmosphere.
And on the parchment she was staring at, letters were appearing out of thin air, and finally formed complete sentences.
After Roland carefully read the contents on the parchment, she frowned slightly and fell into a brief silence.
Then, she rang a small bell in front of her, and a wizard in the uniform of a French Ministry of Magic employee soon knocked on the door and respectfully walked into her office.
"When will the parliamentarians decide to hold an emergency meeting?" she asked calmly.
"Member Talia just handed the resolution to Hafeyd. It has been determined that an ad hoc meeting on whether Minister Eric Amalric has the ability and character to be a minister will be held on the first day of November."
"Are they going to delay this matter until after Halloween?"
"There are also great differences among the members of parliament. Some of them said that they would give Amalric more time to prove himself."
Roland's brows were obviously more furrowed than before the wizard came in.
She didn't say anything, but nodded silently. The wizard bowed respectfully to her and closed the door again and left the office.
Not long after he left, Roland picked up a feather pen beside her. She thought for a moment, and then wrote a line of text on the yellowed parchment.
[No such person in the Ministry of Magic]
As Dumbledore said, setting an age limit for this carriage is not a simple project.
Especially, it is necessary to prevent this kind of magic from being fooled by the superb Confusion Spell, which is even more energy-consuming and cannot be completed in a short time.
According to Jon's estimate, this spell will take at least two months to be effective.
During this period, they must also guard against the man hiding in the carriage to create more chaos, although even now, no one has figured out what this man's purpose is.
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was three weeks after Jon's third year started.
During this period, the carriage was calm, and there were no attacks by Dementors or other accidents afterwards, but the school's vigilance was not relaxed at all. Students basically did not act alone. Even if they got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, they would call their roommates to go with them.
It's just that the vigilance in action is still maintained, but in fact, no one can be so tense for so long. After all, many people in the carriage did not see the attack of Dementors with their own eyes, which gradually relaxed their initial tension.
This is actually not a bad thing. If the atmosphere among students is always uneasy, then the teaching of the school will be affected.
In addition to the third-year courses, Jon still did not give up the study and research on the Sharpshooter and the Patronus Charm.
There is nothing to say about the Sharpshooter Charm. As long as you are willing to spend time practicing more, your skills and proficiency will always improve. In the Patronus Charm, Jon finally made a breakthrough compared to before the start of school.
In Lupin's office, the defense professor, who always looked pale, smiled in admiration after seeing the silver light on the tip of Jon's wand shining countless times more than before.
"After facing the Dementors, you have a deeper understanding of this spell."
There was not much complacency on Jon's face. Even though he has made obvious progress, it has not yet reached the point where he feels proud.
"Dementors seem to be able to make people feel the bad emotions even if they don't do anything, just by existing." He recalled, "The dead despair can be very touching after experiencing it personally, and it is at that time that people can realize what their most hopeful emotions are."
Jon thought and looked at the silver light on the tip of his wand.
"This feeling is not like a specific memory. After all, even if you can really recall your happiest time in your mind, it is unlikely that the emotions can reach the same level as at that time. Being close to Dementors will make people feel their emotions more intuitively."
Lupin nodded.
"Dementors absorb people's happiness. Their existence spreads despair. But the magic to restrain them can only be learned faster under their influence, because the more desperate people are, the easier it is for them to miss their most real hopes."
"The Patronus Charm is not an ordinary spell. There are very few wizards in the magic world who can really use this spell. The level you have mastered now has surpassed most wizards, Jon."
In the magic world, most wizards lack the spirit of exploration in their research on magic.
Even the purpose of establishing Hogwarts in the beginning was not to gain greater knowledge, but to channel the magic power in the bodies of young wizards so that they would not become obscure and die early.
This has never been a society where the strong prey on the weak. Most wizards have only mastered some daily magic after graduating from magic school. In the Ministry of Magic before Voldemort took control, most of the employees of the Ministry of Magic could not even use the Shield Charm, and those who could enter the Ministry of Magic were all top students in Hogwarts.
This not only led to the general weakness of wizards in the magic world, but also the research direction of magic has been very biased since ancient times. In addition to some Confusion Charms, Expulsion Charms and Oblivion Charms used to avoid Muggles, most of the skill points are on daily spells.
There are always only a few powerful spells used for fighting and against enemies. It is only in recent years that due to the constant conflicts, magic related to war has begun to develop again, and the overall strength of wizards in the British magic world has also improved significantly.
The Patronus Charm is indeed a very advanced spell, but John was not satisfied with just learning this level. As long as he failed to summon the Patronus, it would be a failure for him.
Lupin also clearly saw John's dissatisfaction. Although he still didn't know why John was so urgent, he still gave his own suggestions.
"You can also go to Lily to ask about the Patronus Charm. No one can compare to her in this spell except Dumbledore."
The state is adjusted, and I will start preparing for the finale of this volume tomorrow.
