A Top Student Won't Be Satisfied with Just Being Together / There Are No Parallel Universes in Harry Potter

The power that Tonks displayed was precisely the level that the three women had currently mastered with their Patronus Charm. They were all able to summon a basic cloud of light, but they had not yet been able to truly solidify their Patronus into a physical form.

This is not because they lack talent; on the contrary, their ability to master the Patronus Charm in less than two months already puts them ahead of most of their peers.

However, unlike Harry, they cannot actively amplify specific emotions, and they have not encountered external pressures such as Dementor, making it very difficult for them to summon a materialized Patronus.

Therefore, Harry didn't want them to rush things, as haste makes waste.

"You're all already able to cast basic Patronus Charm, so I don't think it's necessary to be fixated on summoning a physical Patronus ..."

"But you can already summon! Patronus Charm!" Hermione waved her wand unwillingly, stubbornly releasing a faint light once more.

"Harry, maybe you really think this doesn't matter, but I can't swallow this! You put in so much effort, even risking going out alone, but that bastard... he still gets away with it! And compared to your hard work, I could only watch from the sidelines, and now I can't even learn a Patronus Charm properly!"

"Patronus Charm." Compared to Hermione's excitement, Luna Lovegood seemed much calmer, but her actions were equally decisive.

"You..."

Seeing Hermione and Luna Lovegood's performance firsthand, Harry suddenly realized he was wrong.

Although they kept saying they were worried Harry would be upset about Lucius Malfoy's acquittal, they were actually the most upset ones in the whole affair.

Because he felt sorry for Harry's wasted efforts and realized he couldn't help Harry, he desperately wanted to push himself to work harder.

"Practicing like this won't work." Having figured this out, Harry said softly with a hint of helplessness, "To summon a true Patronus, you must have a positive and correct mindset. This is a very strict requirement, because when you actually need to release it, you'll most likely be in an extremely painful situation, but at that moment, you'll need to recall happy memories."

At this point, Harry suddenly smiled at the two girls, "So the first thing you need to learn is to never be negative, no matter what happens, and to always maintain a happy attitude. Because only then... can I feel at ease taking you on adventures together!"

"Harry, what... what did you say?"

Hermione was taken aback by what she heard. She had thought Harry was actually teaching her how to materialize her Patronus!

But he said it was so he could take them on adventures in the future?!

So...

"Is it just comforting? But it's certainly effective." While Hermione was still in shock, Luna Lovegood seemed to have already grasped the point. "The Patronus Charm might just be a formality; what's truly important is the feeling of being able to share joy and sorrow together when everyone is together."

She murmured softly, as if chanting, and without much effort, the light and mist at the tip of her wand suddenly began to twist and intertwine, eventually transforming into a lifelike, unidentified bird!

"I see. The good fortune I saw in the Divination was referring to this."

A look of understanding appeared in Luna Lovegood's large eyes. She gently shook her wand, and the Patronus that had just been formed obediently flapped its wings and circled happily around her.

"Is that a crow?" Tonks was also straining with effort, asked curiously.

"No." Harry shook his head.

"Luna Lovegood's Patronus is a raven."

Chapter 337 The academically gifted girl won't be satisfied with just being together.

Generally speaking, unless a wizard, like Harry or Andros, can change the size of their Patronus through their emotions, the Patronus summoned by a wizard will usually be the same size as a normal animal.

The bird-shaped Patronus summoned by Luna Lovegood, while resembling a raven, has many differences in appearance.

The most obvious difference is that it is at least half again as big as a regular crow.

This is clearly the size of a raven, and in the Prophecy made by Gervini in France, it was a raven that was used to refer to Luna Lovegood.

Therefore, Luna Lovegood's Patronus must be the raven.

Harry wasn't surprised at all by this result.

Luna Lovegood and ravens are a perfect match.

Although the symbol of Ravenclaw House is an eagle, the direct translation of its name is Ravenclaw, and Luna Lovegood was sent to Ravenclaw without a second thought by the Sorting Hat.

Especially now that she has obtained the Ravenclaw's Diadem, a treasure she wields even more skillfully than Harry.

Not to mention, she was born with a pair of raven eyes that possess trichromatic vision and a field of vision of over 300 degrees; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is the embodiment of a raven.

"Raven? She's really amazing, she succeeded so suddenly!" Tonks, standing to the side, seemed a little discouraged, but more than that, she felt it was a bit unfair. "So... why did Harry bring up the Patronus and the adventure together? Does listening to this really make the Patronus materialize? If so, Lupin, you should tell me something about 'adventuring together' too!"

Tonks approached Lupin because she couldn't understand the meaning behind Harry's words. Unlike the two women, she didn't have a past intertwined with Harry, so she couldn't understand Luna Lovegood's feelings.

Being together, even without needing to confirm our relationship, is already the happiest thing...

Given Luna Lovegood's understanding of Harry, she could easily grasp these things, and her ability to conjure a physical Patronus meant that she fully acknowledged and accepted these feelings.

But Tonks couldn't understand this, so she could only follow suit and approach Lupin.

However, Lupin harbored many complaints about this.

Please, you want me to go on an adventure with you?

Why don't you try spending time with me every full moon night? I guarantee you'll be terrified and your life will be in danger!

However, since Tonks had brought it up, Lupin was bound to offer some advice. "Don't always get distracted by other people's affairs. Think about the happiest things in your life; surely you have at least one?"

"The happiest thing in my life..." Tonks was suddenly taken aback upon hearing Lupin's words.

Her thoughts wandered through her past experiences, but somehow, they suddenly stopped at the day she excitedly came to Hogwarts to investigate.

Strictly speaking, it was definitely not a happy memory, but she was always grateful that Lupin saved her when she was on the verge of despair.

Lupin, who arrived with the light, and a creature that appeared and disappeared within the light, became an image that Tonks could never shake off.

"Patronus Charm..." Recalling that experience, Tonks subconsciously channeled magic into his wand.

The next second, a miracle happened before her eyes.

It was an adorable canine creature, shorter than the Luna Lovegood had summoned. It was lying on the ground looking rather clumsy, its little tail swaying behind it.

"Was that... a hunting dog?" Lupin seemed a little hesitant.

"It's a wolf cub." Luna Lovegood's calm voice seemed to reveal Lupin's true answer.

Before he could say anything more, an excited Tonks suddenly lunged at Lupin, who was standing right next to him, and gave him a warm hug.

"Haha! Whether it's a hunting dog or a wolf cub, I succeeded!"

"Um... could you... let go of me first...?"

Caught off guard by Tonks's bear hug, Lupin was immediately embarrassed. His heart, which was in its thirties, was completely off-beat, and even his face, which bore faint scars, had a barely perceptible blush.

"A wolf cub... that's quite a rare sight indeed."

Harry carefully examined Tonks' Patronus, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

The spirit of Andros once told him that the Patronus, as a power highly related to the wizard's mind, can sometimes even represent emotions that the spellcaster himself does not understand.

Therefore, the Patronus is not static; when a wizard's emotions undergo significant changes, the Patronus may also take on other forms.

Tonks's Patronus wolf cub likely represents a budding emotion that may take a long time to mature.

"This... even Tonks succeeded, and I'm the last one?!"

However, while everyone was rejoicing over Tonks' success, Hermione was extremely anxious.

The bitterness of falling behind and being defeated had been weighing heavily on her heart, but the more anxious she became, the less she grasped the key points. Now she couldn't even maintain the simplest white ball of light.

"Strange, Hermione should have succeeded easily, right?" Even Lupin was puzzled by Hermione's unusual behavior.

In his view, Hermione was definitely the most talented of the three girls, and also the one most likely to find happy memories.

Doesn't she find herself filled with happy memories whenever she thinks of Harry?

"Hermione ..." Harry couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he watched Hermione stubbornly struggling against her Patronus.

Her current desperate attempt to prove herself seems different from Hermione's original image, yet it also feels like she's still the same person, unchanged at all.

Suddenly, Harry seemed to understand.

Hermione's true happiness wasn't just about being by his side; she wanted more and wanted to achieve more!

"Hermione, believe in yourself, you can do it!"

"Harry?!" Hermione flinched involuntarily when someone suddenly grabbed her hand holding the wand.

But then she felt Harry's emotions flow into her body along with the magic, and together they gathered in the Holly Wand.

"You can protect me, and you can protect Luna Lovegood too...and in fact, we'd be happy to accept your protection." Harry whispered in Hermione's ear. "Hermione, your Patronus, like you, lacks only a little confidence. So tell it, and tell yourself too...you absolutely can!"

"If it were you protecting me, I think I would be very happy to do so." At this moment, Luna Lovegood's voice drifted over from the side.

"You... I understand! Thank you!" With encouragement from both Harry and Luna Lovegood, Hermione's gaze finally hardened.

Hermione Granger, a witch of ordinary birth, became Harry's adopted sister by chance, and eventually their relationship developed into a romantic one... and also involved Luna Lovegood, with whom she has an ambiguous relationship.

Of the three people traveling together, Hermione is the oldest and also the most competitive, so... her happiest moments are definitely not just about being together.

What she truly desires is to possess the power to protect Harry and the other two people!

And now, Harry and Luna Lovegood have shown her with their actions... that she, Hermione Granger, absolutely possesses the power to protect them!

"I...I can! Yes, I am Hermione Granger, I absolutely can! Patronus Charm!!"

Hermione's call to prayer was resolute. If other wizards hoped for the arrival of a guardian, then Hermione's Patronus Charm was a call for herself to become the guardian of Harry and Luna Lovegood!

Suddenly, the tip of the Holly Wand burst forth with the most dazzling light ever seen, and within that light, a colossal beast spread its wings and roared!

Half-eagle, with enormous wings spread at its sides; half-lion, with powerful hind legs displaying a ferocious appearance...

At this moment, everyone in the office was amazed by Hermione's exceptionally unique Patronus.

Hermione's Patronus is a gigantic Magical Creatures, the legendary griffin!

Chapter 338 There are no parallel universes in Harry Potter.

Following the Ministry of Magic's standard naming conventions based on appearance, a griffin should perhaps be called a lion-bodied eagle-headed beast, which, transliterated from its English name, would be 'griffin'...

This is a dangerous Fantastic Beasts by the Ministry of Magic. Griffins are fierce by nature, have a carnivorous diet, and can only be successfully tamed by experienced wizards.

It is worth mentioning that a certain claim circulating in the Wizarding World that a species called the Hippogriff and horses is a completely erroneous understanding.

Because all horse-like creatures, including eagles, Unicorn, and even Centaur, are the griffin's favorite prey. This beast's appetite for 'horses' far outweighs its sexual desire, and no amount of drugs can make it mate.

As an aside, the griffin also holds a significant place in various myths and legends.

For example, in ancient Akkadian mythology, the griffin was the third giant beast slain by Marduk; while in Greek mythology, the griffin was the charioteer of Zeus, the king of the gods, Apollo, the sun god, and Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance.

In short, griffins are truly legendary creatures, and it is nothing short of miraculous that Hermione was able to summon a griffin Patronus after much effort.

Now Harry understands that the 'falcon' symbol Luna Lovegood Divination from the tea leaves with Hermione during Divination refers to the Patronus they successfully summoned.

Indeed, a griffin is far more ferocious than a falcon.

But the problem is... what's going on with the falcon in my teacup?

Luna Lovegood interpreted several tea dregs patterns in class, and most of them came true. For example, she saw an acorn in Neville's teacup, and Neville later indeed received a letter from his grandmother with a Galleon as pocket money.

Among the remaining patterns, the wolf motif appears in the cups of Hahlu and the other two, indicating that something very important is about to happen.

However, when Trelawney first looked at Harry's teacup, she also saw the falcon pattern in it, and Luna Lovegood did not deny it at the time, but simply changed the tea dregs pattern on Harry's cup.

So... does the 'falcon' pattern on my teacup also represent a Patronus? But back then, I was already able to summon a physical Golden Eagle Patronus, wasn't I?

In short, Luna Lovegood and Hermione successfully created a physical Patronus, which brought joy to everyone but also gave Harry a lot to think about.

Correspondingly, the teachers at the school were utterly shocked.

Because of this, Albus Dumbledore even asked Harry and Hermione to go to the Headmaster's Office to find out what was going on.

That's understandable, after all, Albus Dumbledore's own Patronus is a phoenix, which is also Magical Creatures.

However, after Hermione recounted the entire process of the Patronus awakening, the most shocked person in the entire Headmaster's Office was not Dumbledore, but rather the Sorting Hat, who had always been at odds with Harry.

At this moment, it is speaking with a heartbroken tone, frantically denouncing Harry's 'atrocities' from back then.

"I knew it! Hermione Granger should have belonged to Gryffindor from the beginning, and I shouldn't have changed my mind under pressure! Kid, do you know... Godric Gryffindor's Patronus is a griffin!"

"So what? I can still pull out the Sword of Gryffindor, but I refuse to acknowledge myself as Gryffindor. Go ahead and pull the sword back if you dare!"

"Hmm..."

With just one sentence, Harry left the Sorting Hat speechless.
