Chapter 116 Phoenix
On Wu Yangyang's seat.
Su Ziqiong's face was dull, his gaze passed through the rain curtain, and he could see Dumbledore's long gray beard.
The sky seems to be getting darker and darker, and it always gets dark very early under the violent storm.The figures on the Quidditch pitch gradually blurred, and the students had to keep their eyes wide open to find the positions of the players.
"Harry Potter is swooping, has he found the Snitch at last?"
Li Qiaodan explained loudly, but soon his tone turned 180 degrees, and his voice suddenly mentioned the highest peak: "No... what is that!!!"
All the students followed the prestige, and a group of black shadows slid into the field at the entrance of the field.The torrential rain covered the line of sight, making it impossible to clearly identify their true identities.But the chill that swept through everyone's hearts for a moment made them immediately determine the identity of this group of figures - dementors!
As these strange figures appeared, high in the sky, a figure wearing a scarlet robe fell directly and feebly from the air as if possessed.
"It's Harry!"
Someone yelled.
Hermione was the first to react and immediately cast a levitating spell to catch Harry falling from the air.
"Call God Guard!"
The teachers all called out their patron saints, as well as some powerful sixth- and seventh-grade classmates.All kinds of patron saints rushed towards the dementors, but no one could cover up the light of the phoenix in the sky.
That's Dumbledore's Patronus!
Through the rain curtain, Su Ziqiong saw Dumbledore's face was livid.A large group of dementors rushed into the school. This incident had a considerable negative impact on both him as the headmaster and Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic.
Fudge has always been very supportive of him. Last year he was able to return to Hogwarts, and Fudge's mediation played a very important role.Fudge's most likely successor, Rufus Scrimgeour, is a figure who is close to the pure-blood family and often sings against him.With this change and change, his life might be a lot more difficult.
In his rage, the phoenix flying in the sky burst into brilliant silver light.The radiance was so great that it completely overwhelmed the dozens of other patron saints.Under such a powerful force, the dementors in the rear retreated and fled, leaving the Quidditch pitch, while the dozen or so in front were completely turned into ashes under the silver light.
……
……
"Hey, did you hear? Harry Potter is unconscious."
"Yeah, it's said to be influenced by dementors."
"Did he faint from fright? He was so timid."
"If it weren't for being caught by the floating spell, I'm afraid he would be seriously injured if he didn't die."
"I really didn't expect..."
After the Quidditch match was temporarily suspended, such rumors began to spread rapidly throughout Hogwarts.Students have begun to worry about the safety of dementors outside the school, and the atmosphere of panic after the opening of the Chamber of Secrets last year has begun to spread again.They started visiting Harry Potter in groups in the infirmary, much to his annoyance.Su Ziqiong also went there once as a courtesy, greeted a few words, and presented a recovery card.
In Dumbledore's principal's office, all the teachers gathered together to discuss the dementors entering the Quidditch pitch that appeared today.
"This situation is quite serious." Professor Flitwick said solemnly.Although his sharp voice really didn't sink much. "The whole school has begun to worry about whether the dementors still obey the orders of the Ministry of Magic."
"Principal, what is the main reason that so many dementors entered the school at once?" Snape frowned, obviously feeling strange about this matter.
"Why? Because they're hungry, it's that simple." Although Dumbledore tried his best to maintain a calm look, it was obvious that his spirit was not very good. "According to news from Hogsmeade, the dementors have run out of food."
"It's exhausted? That's more than 100 people!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed from the side.This time, the Ministry of Magic prepared a total of more than 100 victims for the dementors as rations. They were all sinful and mentally tough, and theoretically they could be maintained until the end of this school year.
"But, in fact, the last batch of spirits also broke down, and the dementor kissed them yesterday afternoon." Dumbledore said flatly, stretched out his right hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
"Oh, Merlin! Dementor's kiss!" lamented Professor Sprout. "If it wasn't for the quick response, I'm afraid some students on the court today would have been kissed by the dementors!"
"It's not that simple, Pomona." Dumbledore waved his hand, "I went to see those poor people. Although their souls have been wiped out, it can still be seen that someone has inflicted grief on them. traces of the curse." He glanced at Professor Flitwick who was sitting beside him very meaningfully.
"So, this is a conspiracy?" Snape's thick black eyebrows twisted into a knot. "Who did it?"
"I don't know. In fact, we can't even announce the news. I came to this conclusion based on my spellcasting experience and the dying looks of those poor people. There is no known reliable method that can definitely detect a group of souls." What kind of spiritual spell was placed on the person who was eliminated before death," said Dumbledore.
"So, it's just a guess?" Professor Flitwick said reluctantly.
"That's right, it's just a guess." Dumbledore sighed helplessly and nodded in approval.
"The most urgent thing is to contact the Ministry of Magic to ensure that similar things will not happen again!" Professor McGonagall was extremely capable and quickly figured it out.
"I've sent owls there, and I can guarantee that there will be no such incidents with dementors. When we came to the meeting just now, they were returning to their respective posts." Dumbledore nodded to her in relief, and pulled out smiled.
"Principal, there is something I need to report to you." Professor Frant Eastwood, who had been silent all this time, said, attracting everyone's attention.
"That's right, some students have just submitted a joint request to me, hoping that I will convey it to the principal. In view of the frequent chaos that has occurred this year, they want to establish a student protection team to protect the safety of the school and themselves." Eastwood The professor is personable and authentic, with a flawless smile on his face.
"Nonsense! There are teachers here, what do they need to do!" Snape was obviously extremely opposed to this proposal.
"Don't worry, Severus." Dumbledore stopped him with a wave of his hand, "So, Professor Eastwood, which college students are asking?"
"Mr. Hermores of Hufflepuff, Miss Parkinson, Miss Greengrass, Miss Zhang, and Miss Granger and Mr. Potter of Gryffindor."
Frant Eastwood replied respectfully.
