Chapter 69: Attack

The whole line of people is slowly moving forward at a steady rate, the people who have finished the business have left, and there are more new people lined up behind the line, and there is no end in sight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As time went on, the girl in the line just now was getting closer and closer to the counter, and she felt that she would definitely be a little embarrassed to wait, but her arrogant temperament made her also unwilling to pull down her face and apologize.

"Please bring out items that can prove your identity. In the blink of an eye, the girl was at the counter, and Malfoy asked her politely, as if nothing had happened.

This made her feel a kind of annoyance of being ignored, she was very confident in her appearance, and the star-like gaze just now also made her very useful. In school, her popularity is actually not good, and it is also because of the jealousy of other girls. That's why she cherishes and enjoys this rare time when she goes out.

But this is also her misunderstanding, because someone just now didn't raise his head at all, otherwise he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and maybe guess her identity.

"Oh, rare foreign friend, your vault is at number 413. Malfoy raised his head and glanced at the girl in front of him, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still hid it well.

Everyone has a love for beauty, but staring at it is too rude.

"This lady, are you listening?" Malfoy reminded the girl in front of him, as she seemed to be in a daze.

"Thanks, I was a little distracted. The girl spat out a sentence dryly.

In the blink of an eye, she had already felt two defeats in front of the boy in front of her, who was a few years younger than she estimated.

She was a little distracted by the blow that was too big, and she didn't notice the abnormality behind her, and the noisy team just now actually quieted down.

No, it should be said that it is dead silence.

She only saw the young man in front of her suddenly pull out a wand from the cabinet and point it at herself.

Her instincts told her that the person in front of her was not hostile, but the practice of the defense against the dark arts class for many years still made her subconsciously raise her wand and cast a spell.

"Divine Guard!"

"Faint!"

A blue light flew straight towards Malfoy, and the tip of Malfoy's staff only spewed out a little silvery gas.

The girl's pupils shrank slightly.

No one would use the Patronus Charm when they sneak up on someone, so there's only one answer.

The girl looked behind her, and saw a large number of people falling like ears of wheat cut by a sharp sickle.

"Dementors!" she remembered the infamous creature they had introduced to her in Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

"They were cloaked, and their whole bodies looked like they had been soaked in water, and they had scabbed palms, and their whole bodies were rotting. Wherever it passes, it will be sucked with pleasure and remind you of the most terrible things, and the "mouth" under its hood will suck people's souls. They guarded Azkaban. Only the Patron Charm can be banished. ”

On either side of the procession, two of the aforementioned creatures floated in the middle of it, like the Grim Reaper who had harvested life.

This year she spent her fifth year at Beauxbatons, as one of Madame Maxim's favorite disciples, Madame Maxim once mentioned to her intentionally or unintentionally that the Triwizard Cup may be restarted in recent years, hoping that she can win glory for the school, so she also taught her a lot of things in private, and the reaction speed just now is one of the results.

But with the exception of the Patronus Charm, which was her biggest headache, and she couldn't find anything that would make her particularly happy.

At school, she said that she was unsociable at best, and if she said it badly, she was ostracized, and the jealousy of her fellow girls sometimes distressed her, coupled with her own arrogant temperament, so that in fact she had few real friends.

Every time she uses the Patronus Charm, if she thinks about her daily life, there is hardly a white mist that is revealed, and only when she thinks about her beloved sister Gabrielle, there is some white gas at the end of the wand, but it is not enough to gather into a Patronus in the shape of an animal.

And now she finally realizes that she has made a mistake.

The only person present who might have the Patronus Charm was knocked out by her.

She has plenty of confidence in the accuracy of her spells, and may not have enough strength herself, but as a female wizard, she has a delicate control over wands that no other male wizard can match.

Not to mention the boy who was accidentally injured by her, if he hadn't released the Patronus Charm, he might have been able to block it with the Iron Armor Charm, but since it was cast at the same time, there was no chance of survival.

She was about to undo the spell on Malfoy at once, but as soon as she turned around and spoke, she stopped as if she had seen a ghost.

"Hurry up.." Before she could finish the spell, she stopped casting her spell.

Because the person in front of him was unscathed, and he was ready to wave his wand and continue to use the spell.

"Lady, if you're still hoping to get rid of this annoying Dementor, I don't think we're going to be in a daze now, and I'll have time to solve your doubts later. Malfoy said as he stared at the two disgusting monsters.

At this time, the girl had to nod, the boy in front of her looked a few years younger than her, but he was unexpectedly mature and calm in the face of crisis, much better than those peers in the school who only grandstand, they would only do something eye-catching and meaningless to attract their attention.

At this time, she also happened to notice the patronus summoned by Malfoy, the white smoke gathered into a lively rooster, and she had a little more affection for him, maybe other people would like the domineering dragon or the noble phoenix, but as a Frenchman, she saw one of the symbols of their country, and obviously gave birth to a little affection.

"If you can, you'd better use the Patronus Charm, if not to dispel these disgusting creatures, at least to protect yourself. ”

Malfoy said with a glance at her, then waved his Patronus towards the Dementors.

Dementors feed on peace, hope, and joy in the air around them, and they love darkness and corruption and despair. However, restraint is relative, just as water can extinguish fire, but fire can also evaporate water. Dementors can't suck their happiness out of people as long as they're strong enough to believe in them, and Patronus charms are spells that act as shields through pleasant feelings such as good memories.

The power has nothing to do with its Patronus form, and it is recorded that the most powerful Patronus is only in the form of a mouse.

Malfoy's recent defeat of the basilisk with this spell was a mistake, and now is when the spell should really work.

The proud white rooster ran through the air towards the Dementor on his left, who fled as if he had encountered a predator, but still reluctant to take the food, he had forgotten the last time he had eaten enough, and the prisoners in Azkaban had gone mad after they had been sucked for less than a few days. And here today, there are so many human feelings, he can't bear it anymore, he just wants to have a good time.

Suddenly, the phantom of the rooster in the air condensed a much brighter white light, and the Dementors fled faster, and the worn-out cloaks fluttered with the sound of the wind, they were blind, but these strong feelings were more intense than what he saw with his own eyes, and his instincts told him that these delicious food could not be eaten, and even hurt him.

Malfoy glanced back at her, a little surprised, he didn't expect that this unusually beautiful girl was really not a vase, and the sudden increase in the power of his patronus just now was due to her.

"Thank you. He thanked him.

The girl's face suddenly turned red, and her already delicate face added a little temptation, but it was a pity that Malfoy had no time to appreciate this scene, and after thanking him, he continued to control his patronus to expel these two monsters, and the battle between wizards could not be too distracted, and if he was not careful, it might be the difference between life and death.

Perhaps it was because they were full, or perhaps they couldn't hold on anymore under Malfoy's onslaught, and after only a few dozen seconds, the Dementors finally gave up their intention to continue eating and exited the hall in defeat.

"Is it safe now? The girl asked cautiously as she watched the Dementors being driven out.

"No, there's a banishment charm to add. He said: "Don't underestimate the desire for pleasure and emotion of these greedy fellows, the battle just now made him uncomfortable at most, and we have not yet found a way to defeat this creature once and for all, and we cannot take it lightly now." ”

"But I've only heard of the Muggle Expulsion Charm. The girl was even more embarrassed, she felt that her only advantage in front of this boy was only a few years older than him.

"You don't have to worry about that, but can you do me a favor?" Malfoy glanced at the fainting crowd and snapped his fingers suddenly, startling the girl.

"Of course. She nodded, the success of the battle just now made her full of trust in the person in front of her, this is the feeling of trust after the battle of her comrades, and maybe some indescribable good feelings.

"You go straight through here, after entering the narrow stone corridor, go into the fork on the left and walk two meters, then turn right and go to the end, there is an unlocked room, and when you go in, you will see a desk made of mahogany, and in the third cabinet under the right side of the desk there are several packages, all of which have been brought for me, and I can't leave here. ”

"Hmm. She nodded, and trotted all the way over, not asking him what the things were for, she guessed it might be some magic props.

"I didn't hold back. Watching her trot all the way, Malfoy was really a little surprised, thinking back to the battle just now, except for a subconscious stun spell that almost interfered with him at the beginning, the performance at other times was remarkable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it helped a lot.

And now that he is idle, he is in the mood to think about today's accident.

This was the last thing Malfoy could understand.

That's the Dementors.

Since we talk about Dementors, we can't do without the Ministry of Magic.

Wizarding society is also a society, and since it is a society, then there must be a political power, and the Ministry of Magic is also responsible for this function. Since the wizarding society has a self-consistent set of financial systems and various rules, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small country. Since it is a similar state, then the army is also indispensable.

Looking at the map of the world, even the Vatican, a small place, has its own army, even if it is symbolic, but there is really no army or anything like that in wizarding society, no wonder Dumbledore has a bad relationship with the Ministry of Magic, he alone has a Phoenix Order that is enough to fight Voldemort, yes, those who can enter the Order of the Phoenix are good people, and they will not do evil, but this is just their own idea, and the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic will not think so.

The human heart is the hardest thing in the world to guess.

In addition, they do not have an army-like apparatus, and if the Aurors have to be counted, then these Aurors also take care of the duties of the police

, both to hunt down the prisoners of Azkaban and to fight against Voldemort.

In fact, a violent institution that is forbidden must exist, and if you look at the enforcers of the Ministry of Magic, apart from a few Aurors, such as Moody and Kingsley, who else can handle the combat power?

And the Auror power in the special period has also swelled, and they are allowed to use the Unforgivable Curse if necessary in battle, of course, this is understandable, they can't let their own people tie their hands and feet when life and death are at stake, but the Law Enforcement Department under them has really done a human rights violation since then.

It is understandable to say that the above are all due to the characteristics of wizarding society, such as the rules and institutions that are not easy to govern and the uneven power of individuals.

Throwing a person in prison without trial is simply a crude insult to the continuous evolution of the law over thousands of years.

Anyone, even one person, live-streamed killing in front of the whole world. But without trial, he can only be called a suspect, and only from the moment the judge knocks down the gavel, which symbolizes justice, can he be called a criminal.

Even to use an extreme analogy, if Voldemort surrendered on the spot during Armageddon, no one would have the right to throw him directly into Azkaban, let alone kill him.

Whether the world is high or low, slavery or empire, if there is no respect for order, no matter how strong it was before, sooner or later it will fall apart.

This may also be the retribution of the Ministry of Magic for not making any achievements after Voldemort's return, and even dragging its feet.

Next up are the Dementors.

If it is understandable without an army, then the Dementors made by the Ministry of Magic are even more speechless.

For example, today, the Ministry of Magic estimated that some Dementors wanted to capture Black, and it turned out to be a big mess.

The Ministry of Magic has almost no restraint over these ugly and evil creatures, and the Dementors who have been released from the island are a nightmare for ordinary people, they can hunt wild food whenever they want, Dudley on Privet Road in the original books, the students on the express train, and Gringotts today, how can the Ministry of Magic ever have a definite and substantial means of restraint?Rush back to Azkaban?Are you sure that letting the prisoner go home is a punishment?

They plunder the pleasures of the world with impunity, and the ugliest Dementor Kiss is even more terrifying than the death penalty.

Well, that's not the point.

You're telling me they're all going to the enemy when Voldemort returns?

These need to be disciplined, undisciplined, unorganized, unorganized, kneeling when they encounter the Patronus Curse, and they can only bully and bully prison inmates.

I really don't know why the officials of the Ministry of Magic often discriminate against ordinary wizards, but prefer to believe in this group of inherently evil magical creatures.

It's ironic, isn't it?
