Thank you so much Snape!
After listening to his words, Rossi instantly felt like he was saved.
It can be heard from Snape's words that they only discovered the dementors and the Patronus, but they did not see Dumbledore in the pocket watch.
Rosie pursed her lips and looked at Dumbledore who was standing in front of her with her sea-blue eyes seriously:
"Principal Dumbledore, I followed an escaped suspect all the way here. I don't know why, but those dementors actually attacked me."
Well, I'm not lying, there hasn't been a trial yet, Buckbeak is indeed just a suspect.
Muttering in her heart, she spoke again: "Just when I was about to be overtaken by the dementors, a patron saint that I had never seen before in my wizarding career appeared and saved me."
"Escaped suspect? Huh? He is a criminal!"
Snape took it for granted that the suspect mentioned by Rossi was Black, "You don't believe his lies, do you? Miss Auror!"
Hearing him specifically mention his identity, Rossi said nothing and only laughed twice awkwardly.
Seeing that Rossi just smiled stupidly, Snape's inner anger suddenly surged:
"So which direction did the guy escape?!!"
Rossi was about to point in a random direction when he saw Dumbledore raised his hand and said in a calm voice:
"Snape, in this weather, we can't catch him."
After that, Dumbledore pushed up his half-moon glasses and looked at Rossi with stern eyes:
"I heard that you have been practicing the Patronus Charm? How are you doing?"
Um? What is he suspecting? Or did he just want to make sure that the Patronus Charm was not cast by me?
Although they didn't know what Dumbledore was suspecting, his question made Rossi realize the fact: they really didn't see Dumbledore in the pocket watch.
"I'm practicing hard, but I still can only release shapeless steam." Rossi said with a slightly frustrated tone.
Dumbledore said "Oh" with a rising tone, and then said with interest:
"Don't be discouraged. Every wizard who learns the Patronus Charm will go through this process. Come on, cast the spell boldly and let me see how many steps you are away from success."
"Um...here?"
Rosie asked in surprise, this kind of windy and rainy occasion is not suitable for practicing spells, right?
"oh!"
Seeing her looking at him with doubtful eyes, Dumbledore suddenly understood and nodded, "This environment is indeed not suitable for practicing magic..."
As he spoke, he took out a candy from his pocket, curled his fingers and flicked it out.
I saw this finger-sized piece of sugar falling lightly. The moment it touched the ground, it suddenly jumped up like a plant that suddenly grew wildly. In just a few breaths, it suddenly grew to three meters high.
Immediately afterwards, its tip made a "pop" sound.
When Rossi raised his eyes to look, the area had begun to expand and spread outward in circles.
A giant candy mushroom?
Although he didn't see the whole thing, Rossi could completely picture what it looked like.
"What a powerful transformation!" Rossi exclaimed sincerely.
"The deeper you learn Transfiguration, the more you rely on the wizard's creativity and imagination."
Dumbledore smiled kindly, "Of course, it's too early for you."
I know, I'm just a newbie when it comes to transfiguration...
Rosie complained to herself, then pulled down the hood of the raincoat and pulled her wet hair out of the raincoat.
Just as he was about to brush off the rainwater on it, he heard Snape say in a mocking tone:
"It's hard to imagine that you would become an Auror if you behave like a Muggle. I guess the examiners in the Auror office must have drank the intelligence-lowering potion at that time."
As he spoke, he took out his wand and pointed it at Rossi:
"Quick drying!"
Invisible fluctuations came towards her, like a breeze blowing across her cheeks and blowing her long hair.
When the hair floating on the back of her head fell, there was no trace of rain on it.
Not only that, all the clothes she was wearing were dried.
"Thanks!"
Rosie, whose skin instantly became much drier, thanked Snape seriously.
Although his words were a bit venomous, his actions could be called a "gentleman".
Turning his eyes again to Dumbledore, who was smiling at him, Rossi knew that the other person was waiting for him to cast a spell.
No need to hide her clumsiness, she took out her maple wand and tried to recall her pleasant experiences according to Lupine's words.
Immediately afterwards, he waved the wand vigorously in a circle from right to left, and then pointed forward fiercely:
"Call the gods to protect you!"
Bright silvery white smoke floated out from the tip of the wand.
While maintaining the Patronus Charm, Rossi looked at Dumbledore with searching eyes.
"Wow!"
Dumbledore exclaimed and walked to Rossi with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, you are just one step away from summoning the physical Patronus!"
"Concentrate and think back to your happiest moment..."
Amidst the heavy rain, Dumbledore's soft and peaceful voice slowly echoed in Rosie's ears, "Don't think about anything else, just focus on the feeling you had at that time... Even if times have passed, you can still be complete at this moment. You can experience that feeling. At this moment, you in the past and you in the present become one, and you accompany each other and protect each other!"
The moment he finished speaking, Rossi, who was changing her thoughts following his words, subconsciously shook her wand.
In an instant, the cloud of smoke at the tip of the staff gathered into shape, and a silver rabbit that was only half her height jumped to the ground.
"Success!!"
For a moment, her excitement was beyond words.
As Rosie raised her wand with graceful movements, the patron saint who was intimately surrounding her jumped up and ran freely in the rainstorm.
"A very energetic patron saint."
Looking at the rabbit running farther and farther, and finally turning into a ball of silver mist and disappearing in the rainstorm, Dumbledore seemed to have a little more relief on his face, "I think that it, which is lively and alert, must understand life better than anyone else." and the preciousness of freedom.”
…
Because of Dumbledore's presence, Rosie also enjoyed the privilege of the Hogwarts Headmaster - the use of the fireplace in the Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.
Seeing Rossi closing the door as he followed Snape out of the principal's office, the expression on Dumbledore's face suddenly became heavy.
"What's wrong? Dumbledore? What are you worried about?"
A vague female voice sounded in his ears.
"I'm thinking about the person who helped her drive away the dementors..."
Glancing at the sleeping principals in the portraits on the wall, Dumbledore said in a low voice, "You know, that's my power."
"That might be you in the future..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Dumbledore:
"I think you know how costly playing with time is, Ariana."
Having said this, Dumbledore touched his nose sadly: "How could I touch the time turner again..."
"Dumbledore, who are you talking to?"
The portrait of the former headmaster yawned and asked, seemingly awakened by Dumbledore's voice.
"Go on to sleep, Armando, I'm just talking to myself."
