At those words, Dumbledore looked a little dazed.
"Wait a moment. What did you improve?"
"I mean, the traditional Patronus Charm requires positive feelings in your heart. Otherwise, the spell fails. Don't you think that method is a little outdated?
"My improved Patronus Charm can summon a Patronus without all those bells and whistles.
"It's not as nimble, but it's much more powerful against Dark Creatures."
Klein explained carefully.
He pointed to the spirit crow circling beside him, a hint of anticipation on his face.
"Well? Want to give it a try?"
"This..."
One casual remark, and somehow they'd stumbled into another astonishing revelation.
Dumbledore coughed lightly, forcing himself to stay composed, and nudged his Half-moon Spectacles up the bridge of his nose.

It was practically heresy!
Wizards reduced to cold spell-casting tools?
The old man couldn't help clicking his tongue.
What a terrifying world that would be~

He gave a slight bow and waved goodbye.
"I'll go set up some defensive arrays near the school first, so no Dementors get in. When the Mutual Aid Society holds its new activity tomorrow, I'll teach the students the Patronus Charm."
With that, he left the office.
Dumbledore was left alone behind his desk, lost in thought.
Time passed, and even
