There were also Dementors, and Harry's overreaction to them was also a source of annoyance.
He felt he couldn't confide these things to Hermione and Ron.
Because he knew that Ron, besides being panicked and worried about him, couldn't offer any effective advice.
As for Hermione, she possesses sufficient wisdom, but she doesn't believe in divination and scoffs at so-called "ominous" omens.
Only the "Buddha Levin" in his mind seemed to be able to solve all problems.
But now Harry finds himself unable to say certain things, which makes him feel quite heavy-hearted.
He also realized that he and Levin were gradually drifting apart.
Harry's little schemes couldn't be hidden from Levin, a psychic with powerful psionic abilities.
For Levin, Harry was a good friend, both in the past and now.
But they're just friends.
As for Ron, Levin completely disregarded some of his temperamental traits.
Perhaps it was just youthful rebellion and circumstances, but Levin didn't need to indulge him at all.
The kind of friendship that involves falling out, gradually realizing each other's good points, and finally making up – the kind of friendship typical of shonen manga – doesn't suit him.
Therefore, he completely ignored Ron and instead began to counsel the savior:
“Harry, I’ve said before that Dementors affect different people differently. The more painful your past experiences are, the more easily you are affected by Dementors. That’s why you fell off the broom.”
Then he repeated his earlier suggestion: "Furthermore, Harry, I strongly recommend that you go to Professor Lupin, whether it's to learn the Patronus Charm or to confide your troubles. You'll find that he's much friendlier than you think."
"Levin, why can't you let Harry join your..."
"Ron, I'll go find Professor Lupin!"
Ron was interrupted by Harry before he could finish speaking.
He opened his mouth wide, but ultimately couldn't say anything.
The atmosphere among the four of them then became awkward.
Ron was dissatisfied with both Levin and Hermione, and Levin and Hermione didn't want to talk to Ron either.
As for Harry, he wanted to talk to Levin about something more, but he gave up because of Ron.
Ultimately, unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Hermione dragged Levin away from the school infirmary.
The atmosphere in the auditorium was quite different the next morning.
The Ravenclaw hawks received a warm welcome from the other houses as they entered the Great Hall.
Especially for the members of the study group, regardless of whether they successfully used the [Guardian Angel Spell] yesterday, they were greeted with cheers and applause.
This made them all feel proud.
The applause was most enthusiastic when Levin took his seat.
The impact of the Dementor invasion has already begun to unfold.
Not only at Hogwarts, but the entire wizarding world of the Underworld was shocked by this.
This is an unprecedented large-scale attack on wizards by Dementors.
Even the Daily Prophet, which has always sided with Fudge, gave him a thorough dressing-down in the newspaper:
"We cannot know whether one day Dementors will break into our homes like they broke into Hogwarts."
Whether Dementors are still under the Ministry of Magic's control, we do not know.
According to a message from Jaina, the Ministry of Magic was overwhelmed with Howl letters last night, and they had to set aside a room specifically for their destruction.
Just then, Dumbledore, who was in the professor's seat, suddenly stood up.
"Alright, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I have something else to say."
His voice rang out in the auditorium, drawing everyone's attention.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and addressed the group:
"Yesterday, a Dementors riot occurred on the Quidditch pitch. Fortunately, the young Ravenclaw wizards, led by Mr. Levin Green, intervened in time to prevent potential casualties. Therefore, I will add 300 points to Ravenclaw's score!"
After Dumbledore finished speaking, thunderous applause resounded throughout the hall.
All the young wizards from different academies clapped enthusiastically!
Even Slytherins were no exception.
Nobody wants to experience what happened last night again.
The mere thought of being near a Dementor is enough to cause unbearable pain.
After a while, Dumbledore waved his hand, and the applause gradually subsided.
Their dedication and their thirst for knowledge are truly commendable.
"Recently, many young wizards have asked me if I could provide more support for Mr. Green's study group, making it open to all young wizards at Hogwarts. To be honest, I've been considering this for a while, but this scene on the pitch proves that Mr. Green's study group truly holds significant importance..."
"Therefore, I hereby announce that Hogwarts will make an exception and provide more support to the study groups, including providing venues, equipment, and other assistance. The study groups you have been waiting for will be officially upgraded to clubs."
"Clap clap clap!"
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the applause from the audience grew even louder.
So many young wizards are eager to join the study group, not only to gain self-defense capabilities, but also because the scenes of fighting Dementors are just too cool.
In fact, Levin's study group did not work as well as they had imagined.
The fact that the young wizards were able to summon so many guardian spirits was purely due to Cai Wen's extraordinary performance, enhanced by various magical effects.
The first is naturally the singing of the birds.
The Carnival Dragon's [Joyful Feast] can evoke inner joy, allowing young wizards to experience happiness without conscious effort, thus providing the best conditions for casting the Guardian Angel.
If they were to rely on themselves, few would be able to successfully conjure up enough happy memories to sustain their guardian spirits in the face of the looming threat of the Dementors.
Secondly, it involves collective action.
Seeing so many of their companions successfully use the Patronus Charm, the other young wizards were not discouraged even if they failed, because in their hearts the Patronus Charm had become something that everyone could do—and in the magical world, belief can create miracles.
In short, this was a live advertisement that Levin deliberately created, and it became an instant hit at Hogwarts.
As Levin was surrounded by excited young wizards, he saw Dumbledore's complex expression as he looked at him from the audience.
It can be said that Dumbledore agreed to this entirely because he was forced by Levin's manipulation of public opinion throughout Hogwarts.
This white wizard experienced the Dark Lord twice in his life, and he couldn't help but be wary of those young wizards who showed great talent at a young age, fearing that they might go astray.
The idea of Levin starting a study group, in particular, felt very familiar.
When Voldemort was still Tom Riddle, didn't he also gather a group of like-minded young people to study magic together?
The only difference is that Levin teaches the Patronus Charm, while Tom studies dark magic.
But who can guarantee that Levin won't teach dark magic in the future?
2.9 Therefore, the conservative Dumbledore kept suppressing Professor Flitwick's application.
The purpose was to keep Levin's small group within a certain range.
Unfortunately, now that this has happened, he can't suppress it anymore.
He couldn't even find an excuse.
After all, leading everyone to use the Guardian Angel to drive away the Dementors was...
The idea is so profound, and Buf is absolutely right.
Standing up for the weak, protecting the vulnerable, leadership, using white magic to fight dark creatures…
No one would believe it if someone said that Levin would create a new Death Eater or something.
Please, the first spell they learned was the Patronus Charm, the white magic of white magic.
If Levin were truly a dark wizard, he would be swallowed up by the maggots spewed from his wand the moment he used the Patronus Charm.
In short, Dumbledore had completely run out of excuses to keep Levin under control.
In terms of strength, Levin was more than capable of protecting himself in his presence.
In terms of relationships, Levin has many people on his own in the Ministry of Magic. Under these circumstances, as long as Dumbledore cherishes his reputation, he will not be able to suppress Levin from this perspective.
In terms of righteousness, is there anyone more righteous than Levin right now?
Levin no longer needs to keep a low profile at Hogwarts as much as before.
His time has come.
Chapter 210 Employment Guide
After breakfast, Levin wanted to leave the Great Hall, but as soon as he left his seat, he was surrounded by a group of young wizards.
"Levin, Dumbledore has agreed to expand your study group."
"Now that you have a new venue and the school's support, will the study group recruit more people?"
"Levin, can we join your training program?"
The young wizards surrounded Levin, bombarding him with questions.
Levin looked around.
The people standing here represent almost every house, including Slytherin.
Among those Levin knew were Astoria Greengrass, Tracy Davis, and the Caro sisters.
Levin readily agreed to their request: "No problem. If you want to join, please register with Miss Penelope Crivat so we can compile statistics and prepare lessons. We will notify you of any further details regarding the training camp later."
His words drew cheers from the young wizards.
Levin could sense that at that moment, their attitude towards him changed—they became more respectful, and they bid him farewell one by one, just as they would a professor.
“Levin, it seems our Ravenclaw reputation far surpasses that of Gryffindor and Slytherin.” Beside him, Penelope blushed slightly, looking very happy, as if she herself had gained the approval of the young wizards.
As a long-time Ravenclaw prefect, she had to admit that the key figure who transformed Ravenclaw's previously marginalized status, allowing it to surpass Gryffindor and Slytherin, was this boy beside her.
Everything changed after he enrolled.
The student council president pulled Ciri along to register the young wizards.
