Section 363

"I didn't say anything..." Dumbledore shook his head, turned slightly sideways and raised his head, looking in the direction of the Phoenix Patronus.

He waved his wand again, and the large dark clouds within the Hogwarts area seemed to be stirred by something, and the color became much lighter.

The sky where the Dementors were in the distance became even darker, as if countless inks were poured into the dark clouds, dyeing that area into an extremely deep black;

There were three abrupt silver lights in that area, but as the lightning and thunder started again, the three silver lights were well covered and no longer looked so eye-catching.

Hermione and Ron ran over breathlessly, looking at Harry on the stretcher with a worried look on their faces.

Hermione hurriedly asked: "Professor McGonagall, Principal Dumbledore, what happened to Harry?"

Ron asked with some stammering: "Harry should...should be fine? With Principal Dumbledore here, Harry will definitely be fine...right?"

The teammates of the two Quidditch teams also gathered around and expressed their concern for Harry.

Dumbledore said, "Of course Harry is fine. He has been affected by too many Dementors, so I will take him to the school hospital and let him have a good rest for the night."

Hearing Dumbledore's answer, everyone nodded in unison, looking more relaxed than before.

"You should go back to the Great Hall...have some hot chocolate to warm up your body." Professor McGonagall said, "If you still feel a little cold, drink some more hot chocolate."

Chapter 206 Patronus Battle

Vizet waved his wand, and the ancient magic power was released. The door in front of him lit up instantly, outlining a beautiful silver-blue pattern.

The next moment the door opened, and the corridor outside was wide. He and Luna jumped forward and turned into a golden eagle and a horned owl and flew across the corridor.

After passing through caves and underground rivers, at the end was a wall made of spiral bricks and stones.

The two men returned to their human form. Vizet took a step forward, waved his wand and chanted a spell, "The wall is open!"

The spiral bricks slowly rotated, and the misty blue-purple smoke slowly rose, forming a hole large enough for two people to pass through.

It was still raining heavily outside, and it looked dark. The rain poured down along the edge of the hole.

Under the protection of the water and fire invulnerability spell, the two men crossed the hole and returned to the ground. There was indeed a dark mass in the sky.

"Show me the way!" Vizet threw up his wand and cast a directional spell. The wand quickly adjusted its position in the air, and the tip pointed in the direction of the Quidditch pitch.

Luna's voice sounded, "Another Dementor!"

"So many appeared at once?" Vizet looked towards the Quidditch pitch, where a large group of Dementors were flying in the air.

Among the dark Dementors, there were a few groups of silver light that were very eye-catching. They were the flesh guardians summoned by the professors, who were driving away the group of Dementors.

Vizet frowned, "It feels like there are more Dementors than the last time they attacked the train... Did they attack the Quidditch pitch because of Sirius Black's appearance?"

"Or is there another worse possibility? They just want to...get the cheers and applause of the Quidditch game, so they will go out in groups..."

"But their existence will only deprive those joys..." Luna looked at Vizet, "No matter what, now is a good opportunity, isn't it?"

Vizet understood what Luna meant, smiled and nodded: "It is indeed a good opportunity."

Although Sirius Black disappeared again, it is also a good thing to be able to harvest some Dementor cloaks.

...

As Vizet's voice fell, a strong but not dazzling silver light burst out from the direction of the Quidditch pitch in the distance.

A Phoenix Patronus soared into the sky, instantly curbing the diving speed of the Dementors and driving them back to the sky.

The Phoenix Patronus was relentless, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky, continuing to chase the group of Dementors, chasing them away from the Quidditch field.

"Heading in our direction!" Luna waved her wand and drew a circle in front of her, "Expecto Patronus!"

Coincidentally, the direction in which the Phoenix Patronus drove the Dementors away was exactly where they were.

When Luna waved her wand, Vizet was also waving his wand;

The two of them completed the Patronus Charm at the same time, and the Horned Owl and Golden Eagle Patronus jumped out of the tip of the wand and hovered beside them.

They did not take action immediately, but planned to wait until the Dementors got closer before launching an attack.

While the Dementors had not arrived yet, Vizet lightly raised his wand, and the feathers of the Golden Eagle Patronus flew, and its size instantly shrank a lot;

And those flying silver feathers did not dissipate in the air, but instead turned into mini Golden Eagle Patronuses, flying into Vizet's palms one after another.

Following the same method as last time, Vizette cast Ancient Magic: Throwing Mastery, granting the Mini Golden Eagle Patronus "ancient magic power brewed over time".

…

Driven by the Phoenix Patronus, the group of Dementors got closer to Vizette and his companions, and were about to pass over their heads;

Such a large group of Dementors, the chill they released was enough to turn the rain into ice particles, which crackled and smashed against the surrounding trees, making a series of noisy sounds.

Wizette and Luna looked at each other and raised their wands at the same time. The Golden Eagle Owl Patron Saint flapped its wings violently and flew high into the sky at an extremely fast speed, forming a triangle with the Phoenix Patron Saint.

The Phoenix Patron Saint stagnated for a moment, and then seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, flapping its wings and drawing a regular "O" shape in the air.

As the Phoenix Patron Saint drew a regular "O" shape, the surrounding weather became more gloomy, as if thunder would fall at any time.

"It seems that Principal Dumbledore..." Luna smiled softly, and even the black clouds could not hide the brightness of her smile, "You know we are here!"

"But the three patron saints are a bit conspicuous..." Weizet also smiled, "Maybe we need some cover... to drive away thunder and lightning!"

Boom!

With the sudden appearance of thunder, the patron saints burst out with dazzling silver light. The dementors affected by the silver light could only move closer to the middle and fly higher into the sky.

A few Dementors took the lead, but before they could get too high, several miniature golden eagle patron saints appeared and happily got into their arms.

The dementors' movements were stagnant. They had never encountered such a situation before;

Before there was even time to react, the silver light exploded like thunder, and the dementors had disappeared, leaving only the cloaks they were wearing, which fell to all parts of the Forbidden Forest in the wind.

Now was not the time to collect the "Dementor's Cloak". Weizet raised his wand again and continued to direct the miniature golden eagle patron saints to let them pounce on the dementors.

The lightning flashed again, and several more "Dementor cloaks" were blown by the strong wind and fell deep into the Forbidden Forest;

These dementors seemed to have finally come to their senses, or sensed a real crisis, and scattered in all directions, trying to escape as much as possible.

The Phoenix Patron Saint burst out with astonishing speed and quickly drew an extremely huge "O" shape, forcibly stopping the Dementor's first round of escape.

Vizette and Luna were not idle either. The Horned Owl Patron Saint continued to attack, attracting the Dementors' attention, changing the direction of the Dementors' movement, and helping the Mini Golden Eagle Patron Saint to eliminate the Dementors.

I don't know whether it was out of instinct or because more and more companions disappeared, which caused the dementors to feel fear and stimulated their desire to survive.

Compared with the group of Dementors at the beginning, the number of Dementors at this moment has dropped by two-thirds;

In addition to the Dementors destroyed by the Mini Golden Eagle Patron Saint, some Dementors broke through the encirclement and disappeared into the sky.

"Almost..." Weizet glanced at the Marauder's Map, and several names on it left the principal's office.

These are the names of Aurors, who were mentioned in the Daily Prophet and were responsible for supervising the search and patrol work of Dementors.

At this moment, they left the principal's office. They should have explained the situation to Dumbledore and planned to come back and continue to supervise the dementors.

"Okay!" Luna responded, waving her wand to bring the Guardian Owl back to her side.

A breach appeared in the encirclement, and the remaining Dementors immediately followed the breach and flew into the distance in a panic until they completely disappeared from the front of Weizet and the others...

Chapter 207 In the rain, in the cold, in the warmth, the healing spell of the patron saint

On Serena Pendragon's notebook, there was a short message: [Yo! Wizette, I have left the specific locations of those ruins in the map secret room. 】

Seeing such a message, Weizet understood one thing - Serena Pendragon and her party had left the map secret room without saying goodbye.

The battle memories left behind by Serena Pendragon also show that she was a fiery witch.

To show farewell in this way, Wizette was actually not surprised at all, and it was in line with Serena Pendragon's usual style.

…

The heavy rain finally came to an end as the Dementors fled;

The rain changed from heavy rain to drizzle, the raindrops changed from sharp silver needles to soft catkins, and the clouds changed from ink gray to lead white, in just a few breaths.

Weizet looked at the dementors that gradually turned into black spots and let out a long breath.

The sudden decrease in the number of dementors by two-thirds will undoubtedly have a great impact on Cornelius Fudge.

Weizet is now a little curious about what actions Cornelius Fudge will take next after the number of dementors has dropped sharply;

More Aurors will be assigned to Hogwarts to deal with the sudden attack from Sirius Black...

Or will other methods be adopted, such as restoring the number of dementors?

When she was interviewed by Rita Skeeter at Magical Congress, Rita Skeeter mentioned a manuscript she wrote for "The Quibbler"——

[World-weary novel transfer Station 2 99 2 85 9 3 87]

Cornelius Fudge may have illegally "bred" dementors, and the expanded number of dementors would be enough to undertake the task of searching all of England.

Perhaps before, this was just Xenophilius Lovegood's extreme view of Cornelius Fudge;

But with so many dementors missing in a short period of time, Cornelius Fudge might really do something like this.

Assuming that Cornelius Fudge did this, as long as he used the Daily Prophet and other means to explain the stakes clearly, the wizarding public would still express understanding and support to a certain extent;

If he chooses to secretly let the Dementors "breed", once the wizarding public knows about this, the problem will become much more complicated, and it is likely to push him a big step into the abyss;

Even if it is to hunt down Sirius Black, Cornelius Fudge may lose his position as Minister because of this move.

There is a related record in "The History of Magic". After Ignatius Tuft became the Minister of Magic of England, he planned to implement the "Dementor Breeding Plan" during his tenure;
