Chapter 208 Zhang Xiao’s Patron Saint (3 in 1 large chapter)

Why not draw the bones first?

Zhang Xiao recalled Ms. Glove’s notes:

I use beauty as the skeleton, hope as the flesh and blood, inject happiness into it, paint it with color, and want to make a painting.

He considered many possibilities and believed that beauty, hope, and happiness were the necessary conditions to constitute a physical guardian angel.

But I never considered that maybe Ms. Glove was actually describing painting.

"Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Malfoy stared at Zhang Xiao in surprise and asked curiously.

Zhang Xiao came back to his senses: "Nothing, Draco, please continue, what else is there?"

"Oh, my teacher also said that there is a very special way of painting. First use white to paint the bones, then use other colors to paint the flesh, and finally paint the skin."

Harry also listened with his head stretched out. He had to admit that Draco Malfoy had indeed received an excellent education, unlike himself.

Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were reluctant to spend a fortune to let him learn some hobbies.

Zhang Xiao wrote down what Malfoy said, and there seemed to be light in his eyes. He didn't need to learn this drawing method, as long as he had a certain understanding.

After Malfoy finished speaking, he closed his eyes and let out a long breath:

"I think I know what to try. Thanks, Draco."

The little wizards seem to find that Zhang can be seen everywhere. Except for class, he is always painting quietly on the drawing board.

Lakeside, towers, corridors, lawns, gardens.

Sometimes the paintings are people, sometimes they are animals.

Only a few people in the Duel Club knew what Zhang was doing, and they were all looking forward to it, as long as Zhang could learn the Patronus Charm and follow his style.

People in the Duel Club learn quickly.

That's the Patronus Charm! Still a physical guardian angel! Even their parents don't know how to do it, so they are all waiting eagerly for that silver brilliance to light up.

Waiting for Zhang Zai to create a miracle and master the physical guardian spirit in the second grade.

"The most noble young master, is this enough for the rain?"

Yu Yu was sitting on a small chair by the black lake, shaking his short legs a little uneasily.

"Well, just sit still." Zhang Xiao stuffed a fishing rod into its hand: "Just think of yourself as fishing, so it won't be boring."

"Fishing?" Yuyu made a high-pitched and excited voice: "This is something only gentlemen can do. Can Yuyu also fish?"

Zhang Xiao was amused by it and placed a small fish basket next to it:

"Of course, Rainwater, you are a free elf. Even in the future, our relationship is just an employment relationship. You also have your own life outside of work."

Rainwater, who almost cried with excitement, threw himself into fishing for the first time in his life with high spirits.

It was so focused, its long ears trembling gently, and its bright eyes the size of tennis balls staring closely at the float with expectation.

The rain at this time reveals the purest happiness from the inside out.

Zhang Xiao set up a drawing board and used the rain as a model to prepare for painting.

He used lines to outline the outlines of the bones, and soon he leaned forward, stretched his head and looked at the skeleton in the distance, and it suddenly appeared on the paper.

Then began to use messy and different lengths of lines to describe the shape.

Zhang Xiao carefully observed Yu Yu's expression and movements. He was a little nervous now because it was his first time fishing, so he held the fishing rod tightly with both hands.

I didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing every moment of the fish's float.

Suddenly, the rainwater moved, and the muscles of its arm suddenly tightened and pulled up suddenly. With the sound of water, a small fish hung on the hook and swung its tail in the air.

The rain jumped up, and two snot bubbles popped up happily:

"Fish! There is a fish! I caught it! Master, there is a fish caught in the rain!"

In Zhang Xiao's eyes, the colors around the rain were extremely bright, and its happiness seemed to spread to the surroundings. This was an extremely pure happiness without any impurities.

The paintbrush in his hand stopped in the air.

I regard beauty as a skeleton.

Use hope as flesh and blood.

Inject joy into it.

Apply colors to create a painting.

I seem to understand.

Zhang Xiao closed his eyes slightly and came to the thinking cabin.

He walked past the rows of bookshelves, brushed his fingers over the thick spines, stopped in front of a book, and pulled the book out with a little force.

The locked bookcase in the center was opened, and the distortion range of the sealed book was much smaller, and the words on the cover could even be faintly seen.

Zhang Xiao took the book and walked to the empty space by the window, and sat down straight up in the air.

A soft sofa was created invisibly, quickly turning from lines into a physical object, with the elastic seat cushions dented.

Zhang Xiao leaned back on the chair and stared at the book in his hand.

This book is "Home", which is the book that was condensed into the home of my previous life when I first condensed my thoughts into the cabin.

"Wow!"

A series of books on the bookcase flew over in a line like birds, and were arranged in front of Zhang Xiao like tarot cards.

Following Zhang Xiao's movements, dozens of books opened their pages at the same time, flipping through them at extremely fast speeds like a money counter.

There was a pause from time to time, and then a page of content was projected in front of Zhang Xiao in the form of a picture. It was his memory, many of which he could no longer remember clearly.

But it is faithfully retained, recorded, and waited by the subconscious mind.

Eat the sweets you want, go on a spring outing, and talk to the girl you like.

Hang out with mom and dad.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds without haze, listening to my favorite songs.

I read a great novel.

My mother called to say that the cactus I had grown for many years was blooming again.

I played black with my good friends and won all afternoon. Then we went to have barbecue. The barbecue was delicious.

Dad's physical examination was fine.

On a rainy day, I didn’t have to go to work, no one disturbed me, and I had a good sleep.

The memory below seems to have warmth, like warm sunshine.

That was an indelible memory engraved deep in his soul.

He opened the book called Home.

Watch slowly.

Not only the home in the previous life, but also the warmth and love given by Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu in this life.

I regard beauty as a skeleton.

Zhang Xiao waved his hand, and a series of pictures overlapped rapidly, forming a long fluorescent dragon.

Use hope as flesh and blood.

Those expectations and yearnings for a better life in the future surrounded me.

Inject joy into it.

The countless small but real little happinesses are like fireflies all over the sky, gathering towards here.

Apply colors to create a painting.

I see

In reality, when Zhang Xiao opened his eyes, the sun was already half-hidden on the horizon, somewhat reluctant to let go, and the line between morning and dusk was slowly moving.

Maybe it won't be long before night falls, and the stars can't wait to show their light.

In the towering castle, the windows lit up one after another.

The water surface was sparkling, and the rain was still immersed in the joy of fishing. It caught a lot of fish, and the small fish basket was almost full.

I see.

The corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth suddenly turned upward, revealing a smile. He raised his wand and stretched it over his head, slowly drawing circles.

"Calling God to protect!"

A silver-white glow like moonlight bloomed from the tip of the wand, and then it seemed as if something was brewing in it, and the light was flowing.

There seemed to be something moving, and the silver threads intertwined quickly, as if they were forming bones, flesh, and skin. The last two particularly bright silver light spots formed the eyes, as if they were infused with soul.

A dragon carp that was as big as a man jumped out of the light with its long beard swaying. It swam flexibly back and forth around Zhang Xiao.

Then, with its silver brilliance, it regarded the sky as an endless lake and swam happily.

This brilliant light illuminated the courtyard below, the greenhouse in the distance, and even the lake was shining with light.

The dragon carp kept swimming, and the huge castle seemed to be its playground. It swam over curiously.

Pass through the tall towers and long suspension bridges, and wander freely inside the castle.

Shadows are disappearing, whether they are the dapples of swaying dead branches or the shadows left by towers.

In the main building of the castle, in the high principal's office, Dumbledore, wearing a simple white robe, put down the candy in his hand.

He quickly walked to the window and stared at the patron saint who was like a living creature that he had never seen before.

The bright blue eyes reflected through the half-moon lenses, and then he smiled, a comfortable and cheerful smile.

"What an amazing patron saint."

He said softly, "Right, Fox?"

Fox, who had just achieved Nirvana, glanced at him, turned away disdainfully, stared at the magic photo in his nest, closed his eyes and rubbed his face against it.

"Gugu~"

Then he buried his head under his wings with satisfaction and started another day of rest.

Dumbledore chuckled, not caring at all:

"Zhang is completely different from Tom. His 13-year-old life so far has been filled with joy and happiness, so he can summon such a real patron saint, right?

Very good."

Many people in Hogwarts Castle noticed this unusual patron saint.

Flitwick held the wine glass and raised it high:

"Wonderful! The patron saint who deserves a toast - Zhang!"

In the vice-principal's office, McGonagall was flipping through the homework submitted by the students. Her chest was rising and falling violently, obviously she was very angry.

Then he looked out the window, his straight lips finally curved into an arc;

Professor Sprout was in the warm greenhouse, with his hands clasped together, looking expectantly at the ginseng leaves in the flower pot;

Professor Snape sat blankly on his chair, his eyes like deep ancient wells, he also summoned the Patronus, and just watched it running back and forth in the small room like this.

Yuyu has put down the fishing rod in his hand. He raised his head and looked at the dragon carps that were shuttled around the campus, with surprise on his small face.

Zhang Xiao also raised his head and stared motionlessly.

"It's so beautiful, sir."

"Yes, it's beautiful."

"Zhang, show us your skills quickly!"

"Have you really learned it?"

"Merlin! 2nd grade! Protector in the flesh! This is incredible!"

"It's a miracle!"

In the abandoned classroom, when I learned that Zhang Xiao finally displayed his physical guardian spirit.

The little wizards surrounded him and looked at him expectantly, this was the guardian angel in the flesh!

Zhang Xiao sighed, and as soon as he took out the wand, he felt as easy as eating and drinking, without any hesitation or brewing.

I just came up with this thought and recited the incantation:

"Call the gods to protect you!"

The silver dragon carp swung its head and tail out from the tip of the wand, circled Zhang Xiao affectionately a few times, and then happily swung its fins and tail up and down in the air, just like a real carp.

"Wow!" The little wizard exclaimed in unison, following the swimming body of the dragon and carp, and kept turning his head.

Hermione's eyes were blurry and she said softly:

"It's so beautiful, isn't it?"

"That's right, I never thought a fish could be so beautiful. The way you look at it, it looks like it's alive!" Ron looked at the dragon carp in admiration and agreed.

Harry is different from them. There is only one inexplicable voice in his heart, the Patronus Charm, and he must know it too!

"Zhang, is this an ordinary creature or a magical animal?" Malfoy suddenly asked curiously after watching it for a while.

As we all know, the rarer the physical patronus, the more powerful it is. If it is a magical creature, it is an even more powerful symbol. Among the wizards currently alive, only Dumbledore's patronus is a phoenix.

This almost represents his unshakable strength.

If the outstanding figure of Slytherin, the president of Qingluan Society, the model of pure blood - Zhang's patron saint is a magical creature.

That boost to Slytherin's spirit would be immeasurable!

Ordinary creatures or magical animals?

Zhang Xiao scratched his head. It was indeed hard to tell. There must be carp in reality, but his patron saint looked different from the carp. The dragon and carp should be considered a legendary creature, right?

At least those two long whiskers, he had never seen on ordinary carp, they looked like dragon whiskers!

After hesitating for a while, Zhang said truthfully: "Actually, I'm not sure what this is. Is it supposed to be half animal, half magical creature?"

Malfoy was barely satisfied with this answer. It was a semi-legendary but also a legend.

Only Cedric asked the most fundamental question:

"Zhang, how did you successfully summon the physical guardian angel? Can we learn it?"

"able!"

Zhang Xiao nodded affirmatively. Not only that, their studies would be much easier and they wouldn't have to be as difficult as him.

After mastering the guardian spirit of the physical body, many problems will be solved easily. If you guessed correctly, the third to sixth grade is the best time to learn the guardian spirit.

After this stage, learning will become more and more difficult, and the little wizard will rarely come into contact with this legendary and extremely difficult spell because of his young age.

Because as we get older, joy and happiness are not so pure, and it is difficult to gather a physical guardian spirit, but when we are young, we may not have enough experience.

Zhang Xiao also roughly figured out the reason why Harry and the members of D.A could easily learn the Patronus Charm.

When the little wizard learns the Patronus Charm, when he finds that happiness is not enough, he will instinctively look for other happy memories, and add them up bit by bit.

Finally, through an opportunity, all the accumulated things are released. This is the physical guardian angel.

This method is very similar to Zhang Xiao’s! It’s just that the steps of filling in flesh and blood, injecting ‘soul’, and applying color are missing.

Moreover, when a group of people learn the Patronus Charm, the mist or other things released can easily resonate with the little wizards.

Let them immerse themselves in joy and happiness unconsciously, which invisibly reduces the difficulty.

Adults are different. They will find out in their mind what makes them happiest. If it doesn't succeed, they may think that it is not happy enough and try another one.

It doesn't add up continuously like a little wizard.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiao used an adult's thinking to learn the Patronus Charm, constantly looking for the moments that he thought were the happiest, but never thought about the interesting and happy moments in his life when he released them. .

However, the physical guardian spirits summoned by these two methods are very different.

For example, Zhang Xiao's patron saint is very easy to summon again after it is constructed. It only requires a thought and a spell.

And it is extremely agile, as if it were a living creature.

The little wizards are different. First of all, because the construction is not perfect, what is summoned is only the physical guardian spirit, nothing more. It has no body and lacks a 'soul'.

If you want to release it again, it all depends on your condition. In actual combat, you may not be able to release it at all.

Even Harry himself realized this, which is why he told the young wizards in the fifth Order of the Phoenix:

"It is worth noting that we all summoned the patron saint in a brightly lit and very safe environment.

If you really face a dementor, you probably won't be able to do anything. "

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xiao looked at the eager little wizards and finally said:

"I was thinking about getting sidetracked before. If you learn, it's very simple. Try your best to think of happy things. If one is not enough, just two.

If two are not enough, just three, try your best to dig out every bit of happiness and joyful moments in your heart.

Just until I can summon the patron saint. "

"Is this enough?" Harry scratched his messy hair, a little surprised that the legendary and extremely difficult Patronus Charm was so simple.

"This is enough!"

Zhang Xiao said seriously.

Then he looked at Ron and asked meaningfully:

"Man, how is your mouse Banban doing now? Is he still sleeping?"

Ron was a little depressed. The mouse Scabbers had been with their family for thirteen years, although he usually disliked him.

But when I think that Banban is so old and may ‘not make it’ at any time, I still can’t help but feel sad:

"Well, it has lived long enough. It will probably leave us soon, right?"

Yes, he will leave you soon.

Zhang Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he had mastered the Patronus Charm. The next point is Pettigrew - Peter!

While everyone was practicing the Patronus Charm with great interest, Zhang Xiao sat aside and began to plan the following plan.

In fact, the whole thing is not complicated, just capture Peter and hand it over to Dumbledore.

The hardest part is how to rationally explain how Peter Pettigrew was discovered.

But this problem is no longer difficult.

After experiencing what happened to St. Manganaway's family, Dumbledore already knew that there was a magical spell in the East that could directly see many things that were invisible to the naked eye.

And the most critical evidence has been added.

Things were changing rapidly, and the tracking charm given to Peter at the beginning of school was no longer needed.

Zhang Xiao took out the Marauder's Map and stared at the black dot named Peter Pettigrew among the densely packed names in Gryffindor Tower.

This is the evidence.

Harry and Ron pushed open the door to the dormitory, took a casual look, and then said to the air:

"Zhang, Ximo is not here."

Zhang Xiao took off his invisibility cloak and gave it back to Harry:

"Where's Banban?"

Ron pointed at the big rat lying next to him, sleeping soundly: "It's still sleeping. I'm really worried that it will leave in its sleep one day."

Peter was awakened by the noise, and it opened its eyes to find Ron Harry, and the rarely seen Zhang.

A trace of doubt flashed in the black bean-like eyes, what are they doing here?

"Zhang, can your medicine really rejuvenate Banban?"

"Absolutely no problem. This is a nutritional tonic potion from the East. It is mild and non-irritating and is very useful for mice!"

So you want to help me supplement my nutrition? Peter was slightly relieved, and then he suddenly remembered the scene on the train at the beginning of school.

The kid didn't know what he had gotten into.

From that time on, Peter had always felt as if he was being watched.

As an Animagus in mouse form, Peter trusts his intuition very much, because it is through this intuition that he has avoided danger many times.

Now what kind of mouse tonic does this child have to give himself?

The uneasiness in Peter's heart became more and more intense, and he jumped out of bed with a sudden start.

No, you have to run!

Zhang Xiao's expression moved, he stepped over in a few steps, and grabbed Peter with lightning speed. "Young man, you want to run?"

Harry and Ron stared blankly at the man and the mouse.

I always feel like something is wrong?

A trace of blood flashed in Peter's eyes, and he opened his mouth to bite it, but a thin layer of golden light suddenly appeared on the hand holding it.

The sharp teeth were like biting into steel. Peter couldn't help but let out a scream of "squeak" and almost broke his teeth.

Zhang Xiao took this opportunity to pick up the 'Mouse Tonic' - the powerful life and death water, and poured the bottle mouth directly into Banban's mouth.

Peter's heart suddenly sank when he smelled the smell. How could he not recognize the water of life and death that was necessary for playing dirty tricks?

Subconsciously, I wanted to turn into human form and run away.

But Professor Snape's specially prepared powerful water of life and death was so terrifyingly powerful that it took effect almost as soon as it was swallowed.

The little mouse almost rolled his eyes, and then he collapsed softly as if all the bones in his body had been ripped out.

"Zhang" Ron's eyes widened, he pointed at Peter tremblingly, and said sadly: "Banban. Is Banban dead?"

Zhang Xiao did not answer, but took out the silver cube from his pocket and turned it into a strong cage.

I don’t know what kind of material this block is made of, but it is extremely strong, so I am not afraid that Peter will be able to break free.

"It's not dead, it's just asleep." Zhang Xiao closed the cage and breathed a sigh of relief: "Ron, I'll borrow it for a while."

"Can"

Zhang Xiao looked at Ron who was a little anxious and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. On the contrary, it might be a good thing."

The friendship and trust established over the past two years made Ron finally choose to believe Zhang, and he also wanted to know what good thing Zhang said.

Then the rest is easy.

Go find Dumbledore!
