The Bard at Hogwarts

Chapter 172 Doe in the Night

Endless cold, endless gloom, and endless despair.

You know, just now, the Dementors were just floating in the air, like a routine inspection, or like they were restrained by some rules.

But now, the so-called restraint is a thing of the past, and countless Dementors in the sky are rushing towards the train regardless of anything.

"Expecto Patronus!"

A calm call suddenly sounded from a certain carriage in the front.

A silver doe quietly emerged, and she rushed towards the countless Dementors in the sky alone with an elegant and agile step.

Fighting one against a hundred can be said to be stupid, but it is also a kind of courage, a courage to stick to one's heart even though one knows it is impossible.

On the train, everyone gathered together, and under the extreme cold, even the gathered light became dim. In the rear carriage, the newly restored ceiling lights were also flickering alternately between light and dark, and it seemed that they would go out at any time.

Ino turned his head and looked around, and all he saw were young and anxious faces.

He was a little helpless, as if he had done something wrong with good intentions. The Dementors, who were supposed to abide by the bottom line and conduct routine inspections in the original story, are now out of control.

Although there is Snape's Patronus in the sky, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation is not good now. The Patronus restrains the Dementors, but this is when the magnitude is equal. When the magnitude is not right, the Dementors restrain the Patronus.

Just like water can extinguish fire, but try pouring water on a volcano. There is no need for hot magma, perhaps just the high temperature in the air can vaporize the water.

The stalemate in the sky continued. Although the doe was trying its best to stop it, there were still some fish that slipped through the net and rushed towards the train. After all, there were too many Dementors.

"Expecto Patronus!" Another light call, but this time no Patronus appeared, only a light ball like a shield appeared,

Lupin held the wand in his hand. At this moment, he was ready. The worst thing he could do was to die on the way to teach. Anyway, he had heard the legend when he was in school that the position of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was cursed.

Ino hesitated. This was not the Hogwarts Quidditch field. There was no Dumbledore in charge. There were only two choices before him. Either take the risk of using the last magic in the inheritance, or hide in the shelter.

But this matter was caused by him. Hiding in the shelter was not considered at all. Although he could have a life-saving dice left, he would never feel at ease in his life because of the condemnation of his conscience.

While thinking, a Dementor had already hit Lupin's Patronus. The second, the third... More and more Dementors approached the train, and they also brought despair and resentment like a tide.

"Chi~"

A chirping sound like a chirping bird sounded, although weak but far-reaching, spreading throughout the carriage.

Especially at the front of the train, Snape relaxed after hearing this chirping.

...

A ball of ethereal blue flame quietly appeared beside Ino.

It seemed to have life, floating leisurely in the air in the carriage. Although it was only in the form of flames, its dancing and jumping posture seemed to indicate a happy mood.

At the same time, Ino also felt the connection with the flame in his mind, just like the absolute control of the eight-eyed giant spider.

The despair in the carriage suddenly disappeared. It was not that the Dementors left, nor was it purified. To be precise, all the negative emotions here were absorbed by the blue flame.

After absorbing the negative emotions in the carriage, the flame seemed to be insufficient, and then turned into a blue light and flew towards the countless Dementors in the sky.

Some things in the world restrain each other, such as Dementors and Patronuses.

But there are also some things that are unreasonable, such as blue flames.

In the sky, the same scene was played again. A small ball of flame flew towards the Dementors, just like discovering a delicious meal.

The appearance of the blue flame made the Dementors flee in panic, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Because in just this short moment, several Dementors have been ignited. Their bodies, like rags, are now burning and floating in the air, like blue stars.

Silently, Colin in the crowd pressed the shutter button of the camera on his chest again. Although today's experience made him feel terrified and scared, he never let go of the camera during this journey.

As time passed, countless Dementors were running away, and the blue flames behind them were also growing.

Finally!

A more distant and ethereal cry sounded, as if celebrating the joy of new life, and as if whispering the pain of death.

Under the gaze of everyone, the flames in the sky dissipated, replaced by an elegant and beautiful blue phoenix.

Ethereal and beautiful, but no one wanted to take a second look, because whenever someone looked at it, they would unconsciously feel despair and fear.

It was an endless resentment, as if it would drown people at any time.

...

The Dementors left, and the train returned to normal.

At a speed of 30 miles per hour, it was still moving along the track at a leisurely pace, as if it was in no hurry to reach the station.

Ino sat quietly in the compartment, and opposite him was Snape with a calm face. Neither of them spoke, and they just sat quietly.

At this moment, his heart was full of joy. With the help of the Dementors, the phoenix with curses and resentment as emotions finally hatched at this moment.

Although... probably... this is not a proper phoenix.

Because of the existence of the shelter, he can clearly feel the phoenix's abilities while having absolute control over it.

The phoenix's powerful shapeshifting and rebirth have not changed, but the other two abilities have undergone extreme changes.

The first is the chirping, which can no longer bring courage and hope to people, but instead makes people feel despair and pain, and its tears are no longer a treasure for healing, but have become the most deadly poison.

But no matter how it changes, Ino is always happy in his heart, because this phoenix belongs to him, and no one can change this.

Perhaps because it was born not long ago, he can only slightly feel the phoenix's emotions now, but that kind of dependence and intimacy always exists.

At this time, Snape's voice sounded in the carriage again.

"You'd better think of a reasonable explanation. This matter cannot be concealed!"

Although the words were brief, Ino heard the underlying meaning and chuckled, "I don't need to explain it. Mr. Newt Scamander will explain it, and Headmaster Dumbledore also knows it."

The third tamed phoenix appeared in the magic world. Perhaps for some people, it was just a fun thing to watch, but for others, it represented countless Galleons and a new industrial chain.

On the other side, Snape nodded slightly after hearing that these two people came out to endorse, and then remained silent.

Similarly, Ino did not curiously ask about Peter's fate. After all, the doe in the sky just now was a good explanation.
