Chapter 268
After the fight, the three of them calmed down.
Although Snape still wanted to kill Peter,
But he heard Argus whisper in his ear: “Professor Snape, you don’t want Harry to be tortured at his aunt’s house all the time, right?”
Finally chose to surrender.
Yes! Harry is Lily’s only child after all.
Even if he despises James, he has to take Lily into consideration.
Although Sirius is reckless, arrogant, and brainless… he is still good to his own people.
With him, Harry’s safety is at least not a concern.
The few people who reached a consensus temporarily set out for Dumbledore’s office together.
Among them, Peter and Sirius temporarily used Harry’s invisibility cloak in case they encountered any little wizards or professors who could not explain clearly.
The group walked towards the principal’s office from the eighth floor.
Peter Pettigrew in the invisibility cloak became more and more panicked.
Trying every means to delay time.
Fearing that Argus would really hand him over to Dumbledore.
If Sirius hadn’t been holding his wand against him, he would have turned into a mouse and run away.
“Sirius, please, please let me go!”
“We are friends, can you bear to see me being tortured by Dementors!”
“Thinking back then, we were together…”
“Shut up! You have no right to talk about the past!”
Sirius was annoyed by Peter and poked Peter’s waist with his wand.
Outside the invisibility cloak, Harry only felt his scalp tingling and a little chilly.
He blew a few breaths into his palms.
He asked Lupin: “Professor Lupin, do you feel a little cold?”
“Why do I feel like the temperature around me has dropped?”
“The temperature has dropped?” Lupin didn’t react to what Harry meant.
Argus seemed to realize something.
He looked up suddenly!
Through the windows and the rooftop, he could clearly see several black cloaks approaching the castle!
“Dementors! Dementors!”
“They are trying to break into Hogwarts Castle!”
This sentence made everyone present change their faces.
Snape glanced at Sirius coldly.
“You are the one who caused the trouble again!”
“I tell you, if the students of Hogwarts are injured because of you, even if you can prove that you were not a traitor, you will be in court!”
Sirius rarely responded.
He held the wand in his hand more and more tightly.
He also had deep feelings for Hogwarts.
If he really caused casualties in Hogwarts, he would really feel guilty for the rest of his life.
“We can’t stop them alone. We must notify other deans and professors as soon as possible!”
As Argus spoke, he had already taken out his wand and prepared to cast the Patronus Charm.
He couldn’t help but sigh for his future self.
He even forgot that there were Dementors outside Hogwarts!
They had just chased Sirius, and it was reasonable for them to follow him to Hogwarts Castle.
Not only that, Sirius went to the principal’s office from the Room of Requirement.
All the locations were high floors, far away from the lounges of the four colleges, which could ensure that the Dementors would not be attracted by the students.
Even if one or two went over, the Patronus Charm that he had taught during this period could protect their safety.
Safe, reasonable, and could cause a huge commotion, creating an opportunity for Peter to escape!
Dementors are indeed a perfect way to break the deadlock.
A large group of Dementors approached Hogwarts Castle.
Especially in the towers and high floors, they were overwhelming.
The scale was even larger than the Black Lake!
“Expecto Patronus!”
Argus was the first to summon his patronus Qilin to clear the way.
There was no sign of the mastermind behind the scenes.
“Professor Lupin, you, Sirius and Harry, take Peter to the office of Headmaster Dumbledore.”
“Professor Snape and I will guard this place!”
“Quick!”
Lupin nodded, and without hesitation, he took Harry to the rooftop.
Argus used his wand to command the unicorn to move.
Silver-white mist floated over the Hogwarts Castle.
Light footsteps moved around the castle.
The light was so bright that it woke up many young wizards and professors from their sleep.
…
Professor McGonagall, who had just fallen asleep, felt that the temperature around her seemed to be dropping.
Then, a flash of white light flashed outside the window.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a Dementor floating in front of his window.
He quickly used the Patronus Charm to drive it away.
Looking through the window, he saw that the dense Dementors had surrounded the castle.
Frightened, he quickly summoned his own Patronus.
The silver-white tabby cat was flying in the air.
He hurried out of his room without even changing into his pajamas.
SimilarThe same scene happened in Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout’s room.
The three of them almost walked to the top floor at their fastest speed.
They stopped to defend with them until they saw Argus and Snape commanding the Patronus to drive away the Dementors.
“Argus, what’s going on!”
“Why did the Dementors suddenly break into the castle!”
Professor McGonagall was not stupid. The other professors and deans were all wearing pajamas, but Argus and Snape were dressed neatly.
There was just a little dust on their bodies.
It was obvious that they had been here for a while.
“Professor McGonagall, I will give you a perfect explanation in the principal’s office later.”
“But now, we should first find a way to drive away these dirty dark creatures!”
There were only dim lights in Hogwarts, but only through these, Argus also saw several Dementors drilled into the interior of Hogwarts Castle from other windows.
Professor McGonagall also saw this scene.
But she was trying her best to resist most of the Dementors at this time, and she had no time to deal with them.
More importantly, the locations where these Dementors entered were very scattered, and it was a waste of time to clean them up one by one.
After thinking for a long time, Professor McGonagall was ready to clean up the rooms that were broken into by the Dementors.
She couldn’t bear to watch her students being attacked no matter what!
At least there were other professors and deans to resist in the front, and even if she withdrew, they could take over in time.
But it was different in the castle!
These children had no ability to fight against Dementors at all!
Facing Dementors, there was only one way to die!
“Mr. Grindelwald, Pomona, Severus, Felius!”
“Get ready, I’m going to withdraw!”
Just as Professor McGonagall was about to withdraw from the area she was defending and go to the school to rescue other little wizards.
A series of dazzling white lights suddenly flashed in the castle…
Then, there were loud voices one after another.
“Expecto Patronus!”
