Chapter 299 The Disappearing Dementor
·
Rui Chen 3499
The Halloween dinner was as lively as ever.
Those iconic bat and skull decorations flew over the auditorium, and the lights filtered through the elaborately carved pumpkins, reflecting gorgeous grimaces on the walls.
Hallow's Eve is a time of celebration for the wizarding world, and even those Auror shifts are starting earlier than usual.
Some of the Aurors who were on duty began routine patrols, and the other part conjured up tables, chairs, knives and forks, and arranged the tableware neatly.
They brought steaming food, put it on the table and began to eat and drink, enjoying the happy atmosphere of Halloween.
The only ones who will feel depressed are probably those dementors who can only wander around the periphery of the campus.
The joy that spills out of the castle is like the most tempting food, but the dementor can only stare at it, not eating a bite.
Misfortunes never come singly, they also discovered one thing - a companion suddenly disappeared!
It was the kind of extremely sudden disappearance without any warning. The appearance of this kind of situation made them feel a little overwhelmed.
They're just overwhelmed when a companion disappears.
When the second companion disappeared, they began to feel a feeling they hadn't experienced in a long time-fear.
I remember that when this fear appeared, it was still two years ago.
A terrifying creature that came across the sea just plundered one of their companions.
After a while, the third companion also disappeared, and the fear had turned into panic.
They fluttered in the air recklessly, as if they wanted to find clues.
Unfortunately, in the process of searching, they lost a companion again!
A total of four dementors just disappeared out of thin air without warning!
This is a very scary situation, they don't know if they will be the next to disappear.
The boundless fear made them feel scared, and even made them want to seek Auror's help.
However, they saw that the Aurors were eating, drinking and having fun, and those physical patron saints formed a solid barrier, and they didn't have a chance to report the news to them at all.
After a while, when the dementors counted the number again and found that no companion had disappeared, their fear disappeared.
They even came to the conclusion that the disappearing dementors were starved to death.
Dementors need a variety of positive emotions for food, but during the time they patrol around Hogwarts, they rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with a sufficient amount of food.
For this reason, it is quite normal for a small number of dementors without supplementary food to disappear.
In the two conclusions of the reappearance of the terrorist creature and the starvation of the companion, if they have to choose one, the conclusion that the companion is starved to death is obviously more acceptable.
They were even more envious of the castle's joy of even forming a body, and they didn't want to be the next dementor to be starved to death.
"Maybe we should find a chance to break into the school and have a good meal?" This was the thought that came to every Dementor at this time.
An Auror suddenly looked up into the sky, saw the gathered dementors and said, "What's the matter with those dementors? What are they going crazy about?"
"Whatever they do! Those monsters!" Another Auror said, "Actually, they're not that scary. They're as obedient as puppies during this time!"
-------------------------------------
Under the cover of the Forbidden Forest, the operation to capture the dementors was successful.
After placing the four dementors, Kong Nuo returned to the auditorium of the castle. A band had just left, announcing the official opening of the dinner.
He found that Lupine, who was going to ask for leave next week, also attended the dinner, and there was nothing unusual about him, and he was able to share interesting stories with Professor Flitwick.
There was a letter from Lucius, who briefly described the feud between Lupine and Snape.
Judging from the content of the letter, Lupine joined a small gang, and the target of this small gang's suppression was Snape.
Although Lupine did not participate in the suppression of Snape, he did not dissuade other members of the small gang, so Snape hated everyone in the small gang equally.
With the rise of Voldemort, the relationship between Slytherin House and the other three houses has become more and more bad, and it is not surprising that such things have happened.
Fortunately, after several years of hard work, the friction between the four colleges has eased a lot, especially in the martial arts class, the relationship between the four colleges is particularly harmonious.
Kong Nuo didn't fully believe the content of the letter either.
The main reason is that Lucius' ability to make up stories is a bit strong. The last time Lucius talked about the love triangle between Harry's parents and Snape.
Now there is another story of campus bullying, God knows what the whole picture is like.
The dinner went smoothly, and when the students left the lounge, nothing happened.
There were no fire dragons attacking the castle, and no dementors raiding the campus. It went so smoothly that Kong Nuo felt something was wrong.
Just as the teachers were saying their goodbyes and preparing to leave the auditorium for a break, Percy appeared in the auditorium, out of breath.
"Professor Kong! Principal! Our... portraits in our lounge... were... torn apart!"
The teachers immediately took action and rushed to the Gryffindor lounge.
Kong Nuo and the others were the first group of people to arrive. The corridor leading to the Gryffindor lounge was full of students, talking in low voices. There seemed to be an unspeakable depression in the air.
When Konno appeared, the students seemed to find an outlet, talking about what they had seen.
"Give way! Make way! I'll go and have a look!" Kong Nuo shouted loudly, and the students quickly gave way to a convenient path.
The entrance to the Gryffindor lounge is dominated by a painting of a plump, middle-aged woman whom the lion cubs call the Fat Lady.
At this moment, only half of the oil painting remains, and the traces of chopping can still be seen on the drawing board.
The ground is covered with fine rags, and the Fat Lady has disappeared from the oil painting.
Dumbledore has also arrived, and said in a solemn tone: "You have to find the fat lady before you can find out who destroyed this place."
"We can help!" the little lions volunteered.
"Minerva! Take the students back to the auditorium!" Dumbledore ordered, "Severus, Felius, Pomona, you also bring the students to the auditorium, you may need to spend the night in the auditorium tonight gone."
Because the school was invaded, the only place that can be determined to be safe so far is the auditorium.
At the same time, he was going to search the school castle. At this time, all the students were gathered together to make it easier to search later.
Dumbledore swept the eyes of the students, and his tone became serious, "Please pay attention, you must not act without authorization! Otherwise, it is not as simple as just deducting credits!"
