In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 199: The Big Liar

Silver light coalesced into shape.

A lion with a mane fluttering in the wind and a cold gaze, lying beside Jon!

But the silver light floating in mid-air, only half consumed, the other part is also rapidly transformed into a solid, only less than a second later than the lion.

A small badger continued to jump in mid-air, leaving a dot of silver light and landing on Jon's shoulders!

The moment that lion appeared, the closest dementors to Jon had begun to hiss in pain, they were like being roasted on a fire, the already tattered robes, constantly have shreds of cloth fluttering down from the bottom, and eventually turned into a wisp of black gas!

The most tormented, naturally, is the dementor leader who originally could not wait to suck Jon dry.

Its withered hand was already touching the corner of Jon's coat, the moment the lion and badger appeared, the front of the finger was as if it had been lit, and the black gas kept floating away!

The lion slowly stood up from the ground, it faced the dementors who just rushed into the cellar a few seconds before and began to scramble to get out again, fiercely showing its silvery fangs!

The little badger standing on Jon's shoulder leapt down and mounted the lion's head, and together the two animals drove the dementors out of the cellar!

Nick watched the scene in shock from the moment Jon began to summon the Patronus.

He stared dumbfounded at Jon, who was also dazed in place and stammered, unable to even say a complete sentence.

"You-you, didn't lie to Fred! And that's-that's"

"Two Patronus?" Jon helped him finish the unsaid words.

Even Jon found it hard to believe because he had gone through many books and notes on the subject under Lupin's guidance to learn the Patronus Charm.

From ancient times to the present, there are many examples of Patronus undergoing changes after having different experiences, but it is unprecedented for a wizard to be able to summon two Patronus at the same time.

And, what's more, a lion and a... Badger?

If only a single animal had appeared, it might not have reminded them of anything, but what the lion and badger meant to Hogwarts as a school, no one knew better than Nick, who had been the resident ghost for hundreds of years.

Jon naturally knows what this could mean.

Hogwarts has a total of four animals representing the qualities of different houses, now bravery and loyalty are present, then will the other two also possibly appear?

After all, if you can summon two kinds, then why can't you summon four?

Jon didn't think long on this question deep enough to ponder, he hadn't forgotten where they are currently at.

"Let's not think about it so much now, come on Nick, let's wait until we get back to the ship."

Nick nodded with a complicated look on his face and followed Jon's side as he walked out of the cellar.

The corridor outside had become empty, and only the silvery filaments of light remaining in mid-air told what had just happened here.

When approaching the castle gate, the lion and badger who were chasing the dementors returned to Jon's side gently.

These two animals, one leading and one behind, the lion in front of lead, and the small badger at the back followed, together with Jon they left Azkaban.

On the way, Jon tentatively stretched out his hand to touch the lion Patronus in front of him, the big guy who was half a man tall as if it could sense his thoughts, took the initiative to stop and let Jon touch its mane.

The Patronus is not as illusory as the ghost, Jon can really touch the entity of the lion, but the texture is obviously not like normal fur, there is a big difference with the real lion.

"Why are there two Patronus? Or why a lion and a badger?"

All the way, Nick has been rambling and repeating these two questions, but even Jon himself could not give him an answer.

He himself does not know why he can summon two Patronus, and it also happens to be two of the symbolic animals of Hogwarts.

But after successfully summoning the Patronus, he finally understood a bit why it was so difficult for him to learn the Patronus Charm.

Not only his mentality has been a problem that has not been solved. Others have only one, he has two, and there may be two more, so the process is more difficult and complicated, when you think about it, isn't it quite reasonable?

They did not stop on the way, passing through half of Azkaban Island, and finally arrived beside Hogwarts in the second half of the night.

The Patronus charm will be cancelled soon, so Jon did not bother to call out to the people on the ship, and let them put down the steps, but directly used the levitation charm and flew to the deck with Nick.

"Well. Let's discuss everything later when everyone wakes up tomorrow. I'm going to loosen the rudder that's anchored the ship first, we can't continue to spend the night on this island, those dementors will probably search the whole island soon and find us, we have to leave immediately."

Jon while talking to Nick, walked towards the rudder position by halfway, and just as he approached the mast and was about to reach the helm position, a subtle but firm voice came to his ears with the sea breeze.

"Expecto Patronum."

In the moonlight, Hermione was at the bow of the ship.

She waved her wand step by step, reciting an incantation, but only a few silver sparks occasionally exploded from the tip of her wand.

Jon and Nick did not make a sound, they looked at each other, Jon crossed his arms in front of his body, half of his body leaning against the mast, just listening as the girl kept reciting the incantation sound.

"See, it's the same old thing I told you before, at the end of the pronunciation, don't add your own habitual intonation. There is also swinging the wand, this upward stroke should be grasped to this position."

He pointed out the girl's problem in casting spells as if it were a side issue.

Hermione froze.

She turned her head, looking at Jon's eyes gradually from dumbfounded to surprise, and finally, her body and voice could not stop trembling.

"You actually did not lie to Fred."

Jon spread his hands and blinked his eyes with an innocent face.

"Hey, come on, don't think that I've lied to you before like I'm a massive liar with an addiction to lying."

However, Nick on the side did not spare any half-heartedness to demolish the stage on the spot.

"He's a liar! I proved that when I first found him, he tried to get me to trick you guys into sailing the ship first! If I hadn't taught him a lesson, he might have been sucked to death by the dementors by now!"

"Oi oi oi, no one takes you for a mute if you don't speak, Sir Nicholas, you are a ghost, you should try to reduce your presence."

"I *spit*!"
