Chapter 436 Scrimgeour Seeks a Place

"Harry, Harry, you're finally awake. Are you okay?" Ron came to the bench with a look of joy on his face, his eyes full of concern and worry.

"Nothing." Harry slowly opened his eyes, his eyes confused and terrified, and beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks. He quickly turned his head to look at the door, but there was no figure of the guy in the cloak? "What happened? Where did that...that thing go? I heard screams, who was screaming..." Harry was very emotional.

Seeing Harry's condition, Ron's face became nervous: "No one screamed...Harry, calm down."

"Have another piece of chocolate." Lupin gently broke off another large piece of chocolate and handed it to Harry: "It will help."

Harry took the chocolate and held it in his hand, but did not eat it immediately. Instead, he asked seriously, "What on earth is that thing?"

Lupin was silent for a moment, then finally explained: "Dementors. They are the guards of Azkaban."

Seeing that Harry had already started to eat chocolate, Lupin continued with confidence: "Excuse me, I think I need to talk to the driver." After that, he bowed slightly and slowly disappeared into the aisle...

During the rest of the journey, Yang Tian and his friends returned to the school board carriage, and everyone started talking about the reason why the Dementors suddenly appeared. Suddenly, the carriage became noisy again.

I don't know how long it was, but finally, the train slowly stopped at Hogsmeade Village Station. Everyone got off the train, and the scene was quite chaotic.

But when Hagrid was still gathering the first-year students, a cold shout suddenly resounded throughout the platform: "Everyone, stand still! The Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic is handling the case on site, everyone please cooperate!"

Yang Tian looked in the direction of the voice, only to discover that the person speaking was actually an acquaintance - Rufus Scrimgeour.

The young wizards were stunned for a moment when they saw the scene in front of them, but they just stood there obediently, at a loss. Hagrid frowned, walked forward fearlessly, and shouted in his rough voice: "What are you doing here? Why are you stopping the Hogwarts freshman admission ceremony?"

"We are performing official duties, please do not interfere with us!" an Auror replied coldly.

Before Hagrid could react, another Auror said in a businesslike manner: "Please note, this is an on-site arrest operation. Please cooperate with us." After that, they no longer paid attention to Hagrid and turned to look at their director.

Scrimgeour nodded haughtily, and then ordered the four Aurors around him: "Go!"

As the order was issued, the four Aurors immediately waved their hands behind them. In the blink of an eye, more than 30 Dementors stood in an orderly manner behind them. Not only that, a piercing chill quickly spread, covering the entire small square, causing the young wizards present to shiver.

Unsurprisingly, this scene angered Yang Tian again. He sneered, quickly pulled out the ancient magic wand, and cast the Patronus spell. But this time the magic was completely different from the previous one. White light mist continued to pour out of the magic wand, and the next moment, it turned into a white tiger, a blue dragon, a red bird, a black tortoise, a unicorn, a blue phoenix, a icy end, a golden crow, a chaos, a Kuiniu... In the midst of the dancing light and shadow, with a fierce momentum, it rushed towards the Dementors.

"Stop, stop now!" Scrimgeour roared when he realized something was wrong.

However, it was too late. The light and shadows of the beasts instantly enveloped all the Dementors. In the blink of an eye, those gloomy creatures were swallowed up in the dazzling light. With sharp hisses and piercing screams, their figures completely disappeared...

"It was you?" Scrimgeour questioned angrily, "Master Yang Tian, ​​why did you attack us? Don't you know we are dealing with an important case?"

Facing the director's questioning, Yang Tian showed no weakness. He sneered and responded, "Mr. Scrimgeour, what you call 'handling cases' is using these Dementors to deal with extremely vicious criminals and attack students for no reason?"

Scrimgeour frowned and said righteously, "Please stop exaggerating, Master Yang Tian. You should know that these Dementors are under the strict control of the Ministry of Magic and cannot possibly have any impact on ordinary people. Moreover, they are only fulfilling the Ministry's order to search for fugitives. The claim that they attacked students without reason is completely false."

"Oh? Really?" Yang Tian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "But what I saw was that they were unscrupulously absorbing the happiness of the little wizards! Mr. Scrimgeour, don't tell me you don't know what these Dementors are. My classmate also fell into a coma because of your recklessness! Your duty as Aurors should be to protect the lives and safety of wizards, not to hurt them, right?"

"It was just an accident, and the unconscious student has woken up." Scrimgeour's face darkened, and a trace of embarrassment and shame flashed in his eyes. However, he did not back down at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and refuted: "No matter how much you say, you can't wash away the fact that you hindered the Ministry of Magic from pursuing the fugitive. Now, please go back with us to assist in the investigation."

"Hmph, let's see who dares?" Before Yang Tian could respond, Hagrid and Professor Lupin had already attacked at the same time, blocking Yang Tian. Lupin even shouted directly: "On Hogwarts' territory, taking away Hogwarts students, who gave you the courage?"

"You are Professor Lupin? And you, Hagrid." Scrimgeour said calmly: "This is the British wizarding world first, and Hogwarts second! I am performing official duties now, I hope you will not persist in your mistakes. If it is because of you..."

However, before he could finish his words, three brilliant blue signal fireworks bloomed in the sky one after another, directly blocking Scrimgeour's words. That was the magic for help released by Yang Tian.

The director's face turned very ugly, and he felt miserable in his heart.

In fact, according to Scrimgeour's usual style of doing things, he should not have been so determined to confront Yang Tian and Hogwarts. After all, Yang Tian's kindness in helping the Ministry of Magic was still there, and Dumbledore's reputation and pressure were also there.

However, this time the situation was unusual. It was the key to the duel between Fudge and Old Barty! It was also a rare action in which Fudge surpassed Old Barty in popularity! But if something went wrong in this action at the beginning of the new school year because of his own reasons, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Fudge's reputation.
