Chapter 585 - Professor Prince Ⅱ (1/2)
Seeing the students staring intently at her, Georgine firmly instructed them. ”Now, if Miss Prince and Mr. Prince would both come to the front, I shall have them both demonstrate the charm.”
Rowan and Severus, both make wary faces, but nevertheless they step out of the line and walk up to where Georgine is standing in the middle of the classroom. ”Whenever, you please,” Georgine said as she stared at the twins.
Taking a deep breath, Rowan half-closes her eyes, before saying, ”Expecto Patronum!”
At the same time, Severus cries out, ”Expecto Patronum!”
From the tip of each of their wands, a silver creature bursts out. A winged stallion flutters his wings and prances around Severus. While most of the students blankly stare at the female horse reptilian winged creature that flutters around Rowan. The silvery creatures flutter its wings bit, before vanishing through the wall with the winged stallion following right behind in play.
Seeing the still blank expressions on student's faces, Georgine drily says, ”I am sure that most of you are all curious about the creature which Miss Prince Patronus is. Most of you have witnessed the invisible creatures that pull the Hogwarts carriages, no?”
The Gryffindor's nod their heads as Georgine further explains, ”And no doubt, most of you cannot see said creatures because they are invisible to the eyes of most wizard and witches' unless they have witnessed death, and said creature is known as Thestral's. And Miss Prince's Patronus manifestation is such a creature.”
There are obviously startled glances as Georgine continues, ”That being said, most wizard and witches cannot conjure a Patronus for lack of magical power or other reasons. But those that can, can produce a wide variety of creatures from a tiny mouse to even that of a dragon. However, most wizards and witches produce regular animal formed Patronus's.
Those that can produce magical type creature Patronus's are very few. It is most unusual to produce a magical type of creatures such as the winged stallion of Mr. Prince or that of the Thestral of Miss Prince. It has nothing to do with one's magical power simply that is how one's power manifests such as Illyius's Patronus. His Patronus was that of a mouse, but of incredible untold power that is still recorded in wizarding history as one of the strongest Patronus's of all time.”
Seeing the excited looks on their faces, Georgine hides a pleased expression as she lectures on. ”That being said, to produce a Patronus, one must think of powerful emotions, whether it be joy or a single-minded goal. It is different for each wizard and witch. Someone with an animagus form may not even have the same form as their Patronus. Though it is a common enough occurrence that it does occur, but like I said before it that is not usually the case.
I will be candid to you all. Most of you will only ever produce clouds of mist in defense against such dark creatures. To manifest, a Patronus does not necessarily take incredible power, but rather a firm will. It is allowing the world to see the hidden depths of one's soul.”
Seeing their eager expressions, Georgine says, ”Now I and apprentices, Mr. Prince and Miss Prince will be walking around aiding all of you and correcting wand posture and verbal incantation. You may all pair up in small groups of no more than four.”
The Gryffindors hurriedly team up with friends as the marauders remain together to work. Sirius and James team up across from each other, while Lupin and Pettigrew do the same. They all begin to concentrate except for James, who goes through the motions for the moment.
Rowan comes by and sees their frustrated looks. Without a word, Rowan gently corrects posture or motions for them to take a breath, before trying again. Suddenly, large bursts of silvery clouds can be seen emerging from their wands.
”You're all getting there,” Rowan said as she saw the delighted expressions on their faces.
