Patronus

"Have you already been able to summon Corporeal Patronus?"

Seeing Albert's reaction, Fred almost instinctively asked, "I remember you've been practicing the Patronus Charm lately, so it shouldn't be long before you can summon Corporeal Patronus."

"This..." Albert noticed that Fred and the other two were looking at him with probing eyes, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Give it a try, I think it should be an eagle." George leaned closer and suggested with a smile, "I think your Corporeal Patronus should be an eagle."

"Ahem, I haven't been able to successfully summon the Corporeal Patronus yet," Albert said, slightly embarrassed. "It's just a puff of smoke for now."

"I don't believe you. You're Albert, a real Gryffindor student. Your Patronus would naturally be a lion, not an eagle." Lee Jordan leaned closer, giving him a look that said, "You're definitely lying to us."

"I'm telling you, you guys are really something else." Albert pushed away the three who were leaning over and said with a hint of exasperation, "Can't the Patronus be any other creature? Why does it have to be a lion or an eagle or something?"

"Give it a try. Even if it's just a cloud of fog, we might still be able to see a rough outline," Fred suggested. The three of them were extremely curious about what the answer would be.

Although the Patronus Charm is a very complex and ancient spell, the other party is Albert, and who knows if he has secretly mastered the spell.

"Alright, Expecto Patronum!" Albert took a deep breath and began searching his mind for happy memories. He drew his wand and drew a circle in the opposite direction, chanting the Patronus Charm. A stream of silver gas shot out from the tip of the wand, but the smoke did not form Corporeal Patronus.

"Look, the shape of the smoke doesn't look like an eagle at all. It seems a bit too big, more like Gryffindor lion," Lee Jordan happily announced his victory.

"No, that's just your guess. We have to wait until we summon the Corporeal Patronus to know for sure!" Fred and George immediately retorted. However, Albert had already frowned slightly. The Patronus skill had been upgraded to level 2, but they had failed to summon the Corporeal Patronus, which was obviously a bit strange.

According to records, the caster of the Patronus Charm must concentrate on recalling the happiest memory they can think of; the stronger the pleasure brought by the memory, the more powerful the Charms.

Perhaps I should try a happier memory instead, since the strength of one's Patronus is related to whether one's memories are happy.

Albert closed his eyes, recalling how he felt when he first discovered he had the control panel; that was probably the happiest time of his life.

That day, Albert realized he was no longer ordinary! "What's wrong?" George noticed Albert's unusual behavior and asked with slight concern, only to see Albert raise his wand again, draw a circle in reverse, and whisper, "Patron Saint!"

This time, a silver Griffin spewed from the tip of Albert's wand.

The three of them were stunned, staring dumbfounded at the silver Griffin that swept overhead, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!"

"Haha!" Fred suddenly burst into laughter, saying to Lee Jordan, "We won, we won!"

"Damn it, you guys clearly lost!" Lee Jordan pointed at the Griffin above and yelled at Fred, "You guys were talking about an eagle, but what do you mean by an eagle? This thing doesn't look like an eagle at all."

"Eagle Head, you saw it too, Eagle Head, didn't you, it's Eagle Head." Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison, "Say it with me, Eagle Head, it's related to eagles, so we won."

"Stop arguing! Griffin isn't an eagle. Just admit you lost and swallow these Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans." Lee Jordan was so angry that his face turned red. Realizing he couldn't argue with Fred and George, he jumped up from his seat and pounced on Fred, intending to use his strength to persuade him. The carriage immediately descended into chaos.

Albert's face darkened immediately upon seeing that his Patronus was Griffin.

"Is something wrong? You don't look too good." The playful George noticed Albert's gloomy frown and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there's a problem. Griffin is Magical Creature, isn't it!" Fred and Lee Jordan stopped joking around as soon as Albert opened his mouth and listened quietly as he continued, "It is said that the Patronus of wizards is the same as that of the Animagus, which means that my Animagus form may be Griffin."

"What is Animagus?" Fred asked, puzzled.

"Silly you, animal transformation!" George reminded him. "Remember when Professor McGonagall turned into a cat on her first day?"

"You actually remember that!" Lee Jordan looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"Animagus refers to a wizard who can transform into a certain animal while retaining their Magical Power," Albert explained to the three.

"Oh, is there a problem?" Fred asked. "That Animagus thing."

"Animagus Transfiguration are usually limited to non- Magical Creatures," Albert explained helplessly. "Transfiguration by Magical Creatures, such as Phoenix or dragons, can have unpredictable consequences."

"It is said that there is a fundamental difference in how wizarding magic and Magical Creatures magic work." Albert thought for a moment and then explained, "You know about Goblin and House-elf, right? Goblin have their own Goblin Magic, and House-elf House-elf their own magic. They are not within our wizarding magic system, although they can both use wands."

The three exchanged glances, clearly not understanding much of what Albert had said.

"Take House-elf for example. Hogwarts prohibits Apparition, but House-elf can Apparition at any time," Albert casually gave an example. "Hogwarts' prohibition on Apparition only applies to wizards' magic, not House-elf ' magic. That's the difference in the magic systems."

"Wow, you actually know these things." The three of them looked at Albert in surprise.

"Remember to keep this a secret," Albert reminded him.

The three nodded in unison.

"But what does this have to do with that Ani thing?" Fred scratched his head and asked, puzzled.

"Dumbledore was once Transfiguration Professor." Albert knew they wouldn't understand, so he continued, "I've checked the records of Animagus in Britain this century. There are only seven people, and nine in the last century, but none of them are named Dumbledore. Of course, there are illegal Animagus, but I once asked Professor McGonagall what the Principal's Animagus was, and Professor McGonagall told me that the Principal's Patronus was Phoenix."

"The Phoenix is Magical Creatures, so you mean Dumbledore isn't Animagus?" Lee Jordan asked uncertainly.

"That's right. Magical Creatures are not within the scope of Animagus Transfiguration. Dumbledore should also be well aware of this. So after discovering that his Patronus was Phoenix, he probably simply gave up on Animagus Transformation. Otherwise, do you think that with Dumbledore's talent and ability, he could not have learned Animagus Transformation?" Albert's expression was not good because there was an Animagus quest on his quest list, which meant that this quest might be a trap.

The three of them could understand now that Albert's Patronus was Griffin, Griffin was Magical Creature. This meant that Albert might have to give up becoming an Animagus, just like Dumbledore.

Because if the Transfiguration fails, there could be unpredictable consequences. No one would knowingly risk death and still try to do it; that would be suicide. "Even if you can't become an Animagus, it won't stop you from becoming a great wizard like Dumbledore. Didn't the headmaster give up too?" Fred comforted him.

"No, I still have a chance. It's said that Patronus can change, as long as one experiences some degree of mental trauma or emotional upheaval," Albert recalled information related to the Patronus Charm. As far as he knew, there seemed to be a similar case in the Harry Potter novels.

"Hey, you're being way too hard on yourself!" The three of them were stunned. "Is it really necessary to go this far?"

"I just don't want to give up the possibility of becoming Animagus," Albert said after thinking for a moment. "I need to write a letter to Professor McGonagall and seek her advice."

"I think you might need an owl," Fred suggested.

"Open the window, Shera will appear. She will always return to me when I need her." Albert took out parchment from his suitcase and began writing a letter to Professor McGonagall.
