On Friday evening, Sebastian arrived early at the Duelling Club, accompanied by Professor Snape, the Potion Class Professor.
Snape stood there, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He had worn that expression ever since he heard that Harry had defended him in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class.
The students in Potion Class that day had noticed that Snape's attitude was much gentler.
Looking at Sebastian, who was setting up the duelling arena, Snape couldn't help but advise him.
"Sebastian, are you really planning to teach the students the Patronus Charm at the Duelling Club?"
"I understand your intention, but I don't think students can learn such an advanced spell, not even seventh-year students."
As a Hogwarts Professor, Snape had a full understanding of the students' abilities.
To put it bluntly, he felt that the Patronus Charm was too advanced and too complex for students to grasp.
In the Wizarding World, the Patronus Charm was a symbol of an advanced Wizard; only Wizards with strong magic could cast this spell.
Even among the Hogwarts Professors, many could not cast this spell.
Besides, this spell was not in the curriculum at all; instead of having students learn such a spell, it would be better to follow past experience and have them practice common spells.
"Consider my suggestion; for students, they can easily spend a lot of time on this spell, but still achieve nothing in the end."
"In that case, students can easily harbor resentment towards you."
Sebastian turned his head, looking at Snape with a look of profound emotion, which made him feel uneasy.
Tsk tsk—
Severus was in a really good mood today.
Otherwise, according to this tsundere's habit, he would definitely express his concern for his friend in a more venomous way.
It seems Harry's defense of him in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class made him very satisfied.
Honestly, Sebastian hadn't even thought that Harry would subtly defend Snape's image in class without making Lupin lose face.
It can only be said that compared to the original work, the young man's emotional intelligence has improved a lot.
"Severus, don't worry," Sebastian smiled confidently, "I have prepared a special teaching method."
This Stinky Swan!
Why is he so stubborn?!
If I weren't in a good mood today, I wouldn't bother to say a word.
Snape frowned slightly, patiently advising him.
"I'm not questioning your teaching ability; if you really want to teach the Patronus Charm, why not select a few talented students and provide them with one-on-one teaching guidance?"
"That way, the success rate will be higher."
"As for teaching all students the Patronus Charm at the Duelling Club, it's simply a thankless task."
"Hehe," Sebastian grinned, "That's why I invited most of the Professors."
"I'm responsible for teaching students with special methods, and once they start practicing, the Professors will also need to help out."
"It's convenient to have many Professors; otherwise, I alone couldn't attend to all the students."
"Severus," Sebastian nudged Snape with his elbow, a mischievous smile on his face, "You can't be lazy; your Patronus Charm is still very powerful."
"You get away!" Snape's face turned cold, "I don't know the Patronus Charm; let the other Professors worry about it."
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to teach, then don't teach; why lie to your brother?"
Sebastian pouted: "Isn't it just that you don't want others to know what your Patronus Charm looks like? Don't worry, I'll keep your secret!"
Seeing that Snape's secret was exposed and his face was about to darken, Sebastian quickly said.
"Alright, alright, first-year and second-year students don't even meet the minimum requirements for learning the Patronus Charm."
"Their magic is too weak; you can be responsible for guiding them with ordinary magic later."
"I won't talk to you anymore; Professor McGonagall and the others are here."
Seeing the Professors appear at the entrance of the Duelling Club, Sebastian quickly went to greet them, a signature smile on his face, nodding and saying hello to each Professor.
Professor McGonagall walked in first, smiling at Sebastian, a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Sebastian, I'm looking forward to your special teaching tonight."
Professor Flitwick followed behind; he was short but full of energy, with a very excited expression on his face.
He happily waved his fists: "Sebastian, don't worry, I will help you teach the students well."
Professor Sprout followed closely, smiling and nodding to Sebastian.
In addition to these regular Duelling Club Professors, most of the new Professors had also arrived.
Their expressions were all different; some had faces full of doubt, while others looked at Sebastian with anticipation.
After all, the Patronus Charm was not something anyone could cast casually. Among these new Professors, some had not yet mastered this complex and difficult spell.
Therefore, when they heard that Sebastian actually planned to teach students how to cast the Patronus Charm, they were both surprised and curious about Sebastian's so-called special teaching techniques.
If possible, they also wanted to take this opportunity to learn the Patronus Charm.
As time passed, students arrived one after another, and the Duelling Club gradually became lively.
They were all excited, discussing the evening's topic with their companions.
"Wow! What a luxurious teaching lineup; most of the Professors are here."
"The announcement said that tonight the Professor would teach us the Patronus Charm to deal with the Dementor outside the campus."
"Haha, once I learn the Patronus Charm, I'll never have to be afraid of the Dementor again."
"Perfect, I'll learn the Patronus Charm today, and tomorrow, on the weekend, I'll go to Hogsmeade. If the Dementor dares to bother me, I'll show those ghostly things a lesson."
"Stop dreaming; we definitely won't learn the Patronus Charm today. If you read more books, you'd understand how advanced this magic is."
"Then tell me, what exactly is the Patronus Charm?"
"It's too complicated; I can't explain it clearly. Let's wait for the Professors to explain."
As the time reached eight o'clock in the evening, Sebastian came to the center of the duelling platform, looking around with a slight smile.
He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"As you all know, Dementor are extremely terrifying Dark Arts creatures. When we face them, we often feel powerless and desperate."
"But there is a special magic that can drive away these despair-inducing monsters."
"That is the Patronus Charm!"
