The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 356 Are you serious about taking a step back?

"Back off! I'm warning you!" Umbridge roared at the top of her lungs. She couldn't remember how many times she had warned them, but the dementors had been so enraged by her series of actions that they lost their minds and swarmed towards them. , trying hard to leave scars on her patron saint.

Dementors also have emotions, and their current emotion is anger. Yes, angry.

The injustice over the past few days and today's humiliation completely angered them, breaking their awe of the Ministry of Magic, and made them do very bold things.

The reason why we left our hometown, left the familiar Azkaban, and came to this ghost place like Hogwarts is to help you wizards capture Sirius. We guarded the school gates and exits here day and night for you, but what did you do to us? Wizards' discrimination against dementors has never stopped!

What's even more abominable is that you also interrupted our food supply. Without food, our tribe is getting weaker and weaker, and you didn't even give an excuse! In this way, the food supply was quietly interrupted - the last food delivered was only one-twelfth of the theoretical amount. Even this short pound of food was only a month and a half ago. As agreed before, we will deliver it at least once a month, and there will be small batches of food to replenish it. You wizards are the first to break your promise!

You personally told us that food will decrease after leaving Azkaban, but you will ensure that we give you enough food once a month, but what is the reality? It has been three months since we left Azkaban, and you have only sent supplies once and a half...

We are hungry...

Hunger weakens us and weakens our strength. We want to go out to find food on our own, but you still don't allow us - isn't this making us starve to death guarding the rice barn? There are so many delicious foods around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, but you ban us from eating them. Why is this? !

Why? ! ! !

ah! ?

Is it because we are in trouble in capturing Sirius, so you are depriving us of food? But we don’t want to either. We also want to capture Sirius and go back to Azkaban to rest, but we can’t find him!

If you can't find Sirius, then reduce the rations, you will suffer from insufficient nutrition, your strength will decrease, and you can't even find Sirius - Ministry of Magic, you might as well starve us dementors to death! If it weren't for the sake of the contract we made with your ancestors, we would have given up the job long ago.

So what kind of bullshit inquisitor do you have today to punish us on behalf of the Ministry of Magic?

Is this justified? Does this still make sense? Bullying us dementors into being honest, right? Today we must teach you wizards a lesson!

The dementors howled angrily, and although no one could understand what they were saying, the change in the weather could still be seen at a glance: half of the sky outside Hogwarts was completely dark, so dark that it seemed that Drop ink.

The Dementors eventually surrounded Umbridge's Patronus and tore it into pieces angrily. Although after contacting the body of the patron saint, the dementors seemed to be ignited and thick black smoke came out of their bodies, but they didn't care. They risked their lives and threw themselves on the vanilla white cat. Pulling off wisps of silver mist.

Finally, with a pop like a balloon exploding, the vanilla white cat dissipated into a large cloud of white mist. Umbridge's face was as pale as paper, and there was only fear in her heart at this time.

She turned her head and looked at Professor McGonagall with pleading eyes, "Minerva, save me!"

Professor McGonagall was facing a formidable enemy and summoned her patronus, a silver tabby cat, but her patronus just circled around her and had no intention of going up to support Umbridge. This is not because Professor McGonagall wants to kill someone with a knife, but because he is really unable to do so.

She also noticed the strangeness of the Dementors, weighed her own strength, and found that if her Patronus went up, the fate of Umbridge's Patronus should be similar. At most, she could last longer and get injured more. Just a few dementors. Even with the patron saints of Tom and Hermione, the situation was extremely dangerous. If he took action rashly, he would only involve himself and the three children. In chaos, it is easy to make mistakes and cause unnecessary losses.

So she remained defensive and did not go to Umbridge's aid. Professor McGonagall felt that after today, Umbridge should be aware of the danger of Dementors.

Seeing Professor McGonagall's actions, Umbridge was furious. Veins popped out on her forehead and she shouted hoarsely: "Minerva, I am an official of the Ministry of Magic! You must give priority to my safety——"

Before she could finish speaking, Professor McGonagall interrupted her: "Sorry, Dolores, I am a professor at Hogwarts. Students are always my top priority here."

Umbridge's face twitched twice, and she gritted her teeth and shouted: "M-le-wa-"

At this time, the last silver mist of Umbridge's Patronus also dissipated.

The physical patron saint summoned by a normal wizard will not be so fragile. But Umbridge's Patronus is too weird and fundamentally wrong. The patron saint manifested by such crooked emotions, the gold and jade are ruined on the outside, so naturally he cannot hold on for too long, and he is too fragile to look like.

The dementors moved towards Umbridge like a black tide. As the black tide surged, the ground was covered with thin ice, and the sky became dark without any light.

Umbridge was completely panicked, fear filled her heart, and she could no longer find any happiness.

"Calling God - Guardian!" She waved the wand with a trembling hand, but only wisps of silver mist came out from the tip of the wand, completely unable to form a formed patron saint. Later, she couldn't even summon the mist. .

With a snap, her wand fell to the ground, and she herself collapsed in the dirt, muttering: "I am the Senior Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Magic... I represent the Ministry of Magic... You filthy dark creatures cannot... …cannot--"

She was emotionally broken, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

The dementors surrounded her, surrounding her, frantically absorbing all the positive emotions from her...

"Professor, do you want to save Ms. Umbridge?" Percy asked hesitantly, standing behind Professor McGonagall, "She is a representative of the Ministry of Magic after all..."

"Shut up!" Professor McGonagall squeezed out two words between her teeth. Of course she knew Umbridge's identity, and she also understood that a special envoy from the Ministry of Magic would be attacked by a dementor outside Hogwarts. There were consequences, but she couldn't help it. The three children behind her made her have to be cautious.

Percy closed his mouth in embarrassment, realizing that what he said seemed inappropriate.

At this time, some wandering Dementors saw that Umbridge was surrounded by water, so they floated towards Professor McGonagall, but they were all swatted away by the vigorous tabby cat she summoned. Professor McGonagall's Patronus is not a showy like Umbridge, but a real physical Patronus summoned by positive emotions.

Hitting the dementors immediately reminded them of the terror of wizards. They staggered back, getting as far away from this terrifying woman and her cat as possible.

When Tom and Hermione saw that Professor McGonagall had already had a conflict with the dementors, they each summoned their own patronus. The four of them summoned three patron saints, leaving only Percy standing at the end of the team.

In this case, whoever cannot summon the patron saint will be embarrassed. Percy tried shaking the wand, but only a few sprays came out. Percy silently put the wand back into his trouser pocket, secretly vowing to practice the Patronus Charm several more times after returning to the castle.

When Hermione's three-headed dog and the three-headed dog imitated by Tom appeared on the ground, something magical happened. The dementors stopped and looked over. When their eyes fell on the Patronus in front of Tom and Hermione, they made an unexpected move: all the Dementors took a step back.

McGonagall, Percy:?

These two patron saints were like a basin of cold water poured on the dementors' heads, making them sober up a lot. When the anger subsided, their rationality began to return, and many dementors recalled the scene of being killed by a three-headed dog not long ago.

Professor McGonagall was relieved to see that Tom and Hermione's shock effect was good. What she was worried about now was how to end it. The current situation is that the dementors attacked the officials of the Ministry of Magic, and then blocked the gate of Hogwarts school, and they were in a stalemate with their own side. Professor McGonagall didn't know how things would develop next. But one thing is clear: no matter how you deal with it, this matter is extremely difficult.

Punishing the dementors will aggravate their dissatisfaction, while indulging them will weaken the dementors' awe of the wizard - more importantly, neither of these two methods of treatment resolves the core contradiction. The only proper way to deal with this is to punish them and send them back to Azkaban.

There is only one person in the entire British wizarding world who has the power to do this, but that person does not have the courage. Fudge behaved so badly after Sirius escaped from prison that the only thing he could do was plant a swarm of dementors around Hogwarts to show that he was actually up to something. As the saying goes, you do a lot of useless work to cover up the fact that you haven't done anything.

Everyone knows that it is useless to deploy Dementors around Hogwarts now - Sirius can bypass the Dementors and sneak into Hogwarts once, and he can do it a second and third time. Continuing to station Dementors here is just a waste of resources.

But Fudge is just pretending to be dead, delaying, and responding passively, and there is nothing anyone can do about him! If the Minister of Magic chooses to mess up, the harm caused is huge.

Professor McGonagall can now be said to be in a dilemma. At this time, because the dementor's pressure was slightly lessened, Umbridge recovered again, and her vitality was as tenacious as a cockroach.

She raised her hand tremblingly and shouted to Professor McGonagall: "Minerva, save me..."

Professor McGonagall sighed. After all, she couldn't watch the dementors kill Umbridge here. She believed that the Dementors had taught Umbridge a profound enough lesson, so she drove her Patronus towards the Dementors. Tom and Hermione also began to fuse their Patronuses.

This time, it was like a hornet's nest was poked, and the dementors exploded. They moved and flew in all directions, surrounded by the howling wind. They looked earth-shattering, but when faced with Professor McGonagall's patron saint, they were thrown away again and again, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

At this time, Tom and Hermione's patron saints were also fused, and they rushed towards the dementors. The dementors fled away, not wanting to be contaminated by the flames of the three-headed dog. This charge successfully broke through the dark clouds formed by the Dementors. The black clouds in the sky quickly dissipated, and even the cold air was eliminated.

At this time, several patron saints and several white lights ran from the direction of Hogsmeade, which became the last straw to overwhelm the Dementors. It was the strikers and Aurors that Umbridge left in Hogsmeade who cast these Patronus Curses. They saw the strange change in the sky and rushed over quickly.

After seeing that the dementors were gathering together to riot, they also summoned their own patron saints, intending to teach the many dementors a lesson and suppress them.

They succeeded.

In the face of the Patronus Charm released by the wizards, the dementors looked helpless. If they could still maintain their previous momentum, the effect of these patron saints would definitely not be so good, but at this time, the dementors had lost their energy and spirit, so naturally they were no match for the wizards.

The patron saint rushed into the dementors and completely defeated their already scattered formation. The next battle was a one-sided pursuit of death and north. The Dementors fled in all directions, with the Patronus chasing after them, leaving scars one after another on them, causing them to whimper and disappear into the darkness.

Umbridge, who was rescued, gradually regained her energy, and the reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic became her support. After she regained consciousness, she gasped and stared at Professor McGonagall, her back molars clenching. The sound.

"Minerva, are you deliberately refusing to save me?" Professor McGonagall saw her embarrassed side, and Umbridge felt extremely humiliated. She was now full of resentment and vented it on Professor McGonagall. out.

"They're back again!" Tom exclaimed, pointing behind Umbridge.

"Ah!" Umbridge squatted down holding her head and let out a miserable scream, "Help me! I was wrong! I'm sorry——"

But she soon realized something was wrong: there was no suffocating atmosphere around her when the dementors arrived. When she looked up, she saw Professor McGonagall and others looking at her with half-smiling smiles.

She immediately understood that she had been tricked, and Umbridge's toad-like face turned livid in an instant. She had lost all face and was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She could only stand with her arms folded and wait for the arrival of her subordinates.
