The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 100: Are you serious about taking a step back

"Stand back! I'm warning you!" Umbridge roared hoarsely. She couldn't remember how many times she had warned them, but the dementors had been irritated by her series of actions and lost their minds. They swarmed up , trying hard to leave scars on her patron saint.

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

Days of injustice and today's humiliation completely angered them, broke their awe of the Ministry of Magic in their hearts, and made them do very bold things.

The reason why we left our hometown, Azkaban we are familiar with, and came to the ghostly place of Hogwarts is to help you wizards capture Sirius. We guard the school gate and various exits for you day and night, so what did you do to us? Wizards' discrimination against dementors has never stopped!

What's worse, you have also interrupted our food supply, without food, the tribe is weakening day by day, and you haven't even given an excuse! In this way, the food supply was interrupted silently—the food delivered last time was only one-twelfth of the theoretical amount, and this short food was also a month and a half ago. It was agreed before that at least once a month, there will be a small batch of food to replenish, and it is you wizards who break your promise first!

You personally told us that food will be reduced after leaving Azkaban, but you will guarantee to give us enough food once a month, but what about the reality? It's been three months since we left Azkaban, and you've only sent one and a half supplies...

we are hungry...

Hunger makes us weak and weakens our strength day by day. We want to go out to find food by ourselves, but you still don’t allow us to starve to death in the rice warehouse? There are so many delicious foods around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, but you forbid us to eat them. Why? !

Why? ! !

ah! ?

Is it because it is not good for us to capture Sirius, so you are withholding our food? But we don't want to, we also want to catch Sirius and return to Azkaban to rest, but we can't find him!

Can't find Sirius, then reduce rations, lack of nutrition, decline in strength, let alone find Sirius-Ministry of Magic, you just starve to death our group of dementors! If it weren't for the sake of the contract we made with your ancestors, we would have quit long ago.

Turns out you have some **** investigator today to punish us on behalf of the Ministry of Magic?

Is there any reason for this? Does this still make sense? Bully us dementors honestly, huh? Today we must teach you wizards a lesson!

The dementors howled angrily. Although no one could understand what they were saying, the change in the weather could still be seen at a glance: the sky outside the Hogwarts campus was completely dark, as black as Drops of ink come.

The Dementors eventually surrounded Umbridge's Patronus, tearing it apart in rage. Although after touching 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. Tear off wisps of silver mist.

Finally, with a bang like a balloon popping, the vanilla white cat dissipated in a cloud of white mist. Umbridge was as pale as paper, and she felt nothing but fear at the moment.

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

Professor McGonagall was on the verge of a formidable enemy, and summoned her Patronus—a silver tabby cat, but her Patronus just circled around her, without any intention of going up to support Umbridge. It's not that Professor McGonagall wants to borrow a knife to kill people, but that he is really powerless.

She also noticed the strangeness of the dementors, weighed her own strength, and found that her Patronus should have the same fate as Umbridge's Patronus, at most, she would be able to last longer and take more damage. Just a few dementors. Even with Tom and Hermione's Patronus, the situation is extremely dangerous, if you act rashly, you will only get yourself and the three children involved. In chaos, it is easy to make mistakes and cause unnecessary losses.

So she stayed on the defensive and didn't go up to rescue Umbridge. 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'm an official of the Ministry of Magic! You must prioritize my safety—"

Before she could finish speaking, Professor McGonagall interrupted her: "Sorry, Dolores, I'm a professor at Hogwarts, and students are always the top priority here."

Umbridge's face twitched twice, and he roared through gritted teeth: "M-le-wa-"

That's when the last traces of the silver mist of Umbridge's Patronus dissipated.

The physical Patronus summoned by a normal wizard will not be so fragile. But Umbridge's Patronus is too weird, fundamentally wrong. The patron saint manifested by this kind of crooked emotion, with its gold and jade on the outside and the inside of it, naturally couldn't last for too long, and was fragile and ugly.

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

Umbridge was completely flustered, fear filled her heart, and she could no longer find a trace of happiness.

"Call God—Guardian!" She waved her magic wand with trembling hands, but only wisps of silver mist could emerge from the tip of the wand, completely unable to form a formed patron saint. Later, she couldn't even summon the light mist .

Her wand fell to the ground with a snap, and she herself sat slumped in the dirt, murmuring: "I am the Senior Undersecretary for Magic...I represent the Ministry...You filthy dark creatures can't...can't— "

She broke down emotionally, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

The dementors surrounded her, surrounded her, frantically absorbing all the positive emotions in her body...

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

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

Percy closed his mouth in embarrassment, he realized that what he seemed to say was out of place.

At this time, some wandering dementors saw that Umbridge was completely surrounded, so they floated towards Professor McGonagall, but they were all shot away by the vigorous tabby cat she summoned. Professor McGonagall's Patronus is not a show like Umbridge, but an actual Patronus summoned by positive emotions.

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

Tom and Hermione saw that Professor McGonagall had clashed with the dementors, and each summoned their own patron saints. Four people summoned three patron saints, leaving Percy alone at the end of the line.

In this case, whoever cannot summon the patron saint will be embarrassed. Percy tried to shake his wand, but only produced a few sprays. Percy put the wand back into his trouser pocket silently, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would practice the Patronus Charm a few 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 miraculous happened. The dementors stopped their movements and looked over in unison. When their eyes fell on the Patronus in front of Tom and Hermione, they made an unexpected movement: all the dementors took a step back in unison.

McGonagall, Percy: ?

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

Professor McGonagall was relieved to see that Tom and Hermione's deterrent effect was good. Her headache now is 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, and they were in a stalemate with themselves. Professor McGonagall didn't know what the next situation would develop. But one thing is clear: No matter how you approach it, this business is extremely difficult.

Punishing the dementors will exacerbate their dissatisfaction, while indulging them will wear down the awe of the dementors for wizards—more importantly, neither of these two approaches solves the core contradiction. The only proper way to deal with it is to punish them and send them back to Azkaban.

There is only one person in the entire British wizarding world who has the right to do this, but that person does not have the courage. Fudge was terrible after Sirius' escape, and the only thing he could do was plant hordes of dementors around Hogwarts to show he was actually up to something. As the saying goes, doing a lot of useless work to cover up the status quo that you haven't done anything.

Everyone knows that deploying Dementors around Hogwarts right now is useless - Sirius can infiltrate Hogwarts once and bypass Dementors a second time, and a third time. Continuing to station dementors here is just a waste of resources.

But Fudge is just pretending to be dead, just procrastinating, and responding negatively, and everyone still has nothing to do with him! A minister of magic chooses to be bad, and the harm caused is huge.

Professor McGonagall can be said to be in a dilemma now. At this time, because the oppressive feeling of the dementor was slightly less, Umbridge slowed down 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 lesson, so she drove her Patronus towards the dementors. Tom and Hermione also began to fuse their Patronuses.

It was like stabbing a hornet's nest, the dementors exploded. They moved, flying in all directions, and the surroundings were full of howling winds. It looked earth-shattering, but when facing Professor McGonagall's patron saint, they were still thrown away again and again, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

At this time, the Patronus of Tom and Hermione also completed the fusion, and rushed towards the dementors. The dementors avoided one after another, unwilling to be contaminated by the flames on the three-headed dog. This charge successfully broke the dark cloud formed by the dementors. The black cloud in the sky dissipated quickly, and even the cold air disappeared a lot.

At this time, several patron saints and a few white lights came running from the direction of Hogsmeade, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the dementors. These Patronus Charms were cast by the same batterers and Aurors Umbridge had left behind at Hogsmeade. They saw the change in the sky and hurried over.

Seeing that the dementors were gathering together to riot, they also summoned their patron saints one after another, intending to teach the dementors a lesson and suppress them.

They succeeded.

Facing the Patronus Charm released by the wizards together, the Dementor looked helpless. If they could still maintain their previous aura, the effect of these patron saints would definitely not be so good, but the dementors at this time have lost their energy, so they are naturally no match for wizards.

The patron saint rushed into the dementors and completely defeated their already scattered formation. The next battle was a one-sided chase. The dementors fled in all directions, and the Patronuses pursued them, scarring them one after another, causing them to howl and disappear into the darkness.

Umbridge, who was rescued, also gradually regained her spirits, and the reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic became her reliance, so she panted heavily and stared at Professor McGonagall, her molars gritted. ringing.

"Minerva, are you just going to die!" Umbridge only felt that he was extremely humiliated when Professor McGonagall looked at his embarrassing side~lightnovelpub.net~ The resentment she was full of now was overwhelming. Vented at Professor McGonagall.

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

"Ah!" Umbridge squatted down with his head in his arms, and let out a miserable scream, "Help me! I was wrong! I'm sorry—"

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

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