The Dementor riot didn't have much of an impact - at least at Hogwarts. The students started with a lively discussion about Harry Potter's accidents and the audacity of the Dementors. Of course, the most attention was paid to the magic that Dumbledore used to chase away the Dementors. However, the students quickly lost interest in the topic - except for Malfoy, who spent his days imitating Harry's movements as he fell off his broomstick. There was also the idea that Crabbe and Goyle were pretending to be Dementors, with Malfoy imitating Harry's panicked look. Overall, however, the Dementor Riot did not bring any visible drastic changes to Hogwarts.
But that's not the case with wizarding societies outside of school. The Daily Prophet headline reported on the Dementor riot and the Ministry of Magic's inaction, with the headline "The Ministry of Magic is incompetent, and the Dementors are disturbing the campus." Then the Daily Prophet devoted a large page to the event.
"We were horrified to see that our children were no longer safe. The Ministry of Magic used the arrest of Sirius Black as a pretext to allow the Dementors to enter Hogwarts. If it weren't for the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the wizard of Wizengamos, Professor Albus Dumbledore, who tried to obstruct it, the Ministry of Magic would even want to let the Dementors into the students' common room! This time, the Dementors refused to obey the instructions and insisted on entering the Quidditch pitch when the students were full, and caused Harry Potter, the boy who had not died, to almost fall off his broomstick and die. The unreliability of this inhuman terrorist creature is amply demonstrated. And our Minister of Magic, Fudge, is stubborn and refuses to withdraw the Dementors. Our reporter learned that the restless Dementors had attacked the students on the train to Hogwarts. If it weren't for the action of Jack Silver, the heir to the ancient and noble Silver family, an excellent student who was proficient in the Patronus charm, I am afraid that there would have been casualties a long time ago. The Ministry of Magic has tried to block the news. We can't help but wonder if our Minister for Magic, Mr. Fudge, wants to hunt down Sirius Black, or if he wants to send our children, the future of the wizarding world, to the Dementors? This newspaper will continue to monitor the progress of this matter......"
"Yes, I insist that it is irrational for wizards to cooperate with such dangerous creatures." Hogwarts Headmaster, Professor Albus Dumbledore, wizard of Wizengamot, said this in an interview with our reporter. "If it's trying to capture Sirius Black, I'm sure we have a more reliable candidate than a bunch of filthy Dementors who spend their days trying to suck the souls of my students."
"That's right, I think Minister Fudge was inconsiderate on this matter, and having so many Dementors at Hogwarts was a bit of a threat to my children, and this riot was even more disturbing to me, as my children were playing in the arena at the time." Mr. Lucius Malfoy said.
Geselda Marchban, a veteran member of the Wizengamot, was more direct: "I don't understand what Fudge is trying to write. He sent the Dementors to Hogwarts, but there has been no news of Blake so far, but the Dementors attacked the students twice! If this happens, I think Secretary Fudge should change his position and sober up. ”
Minister of Magic, Fudge, claimed to be busy, declined our interview, and dismissed us as a petty fuss. But whether we are making too little of a fuss, or whether Minister Fudge is stubborn and downplaying the situation, this will be tested by time......
"Looks like Fudge has been busy this time." Silver put down the Daily Prophet and said to Hermione. "He's going to have to pay a price for his stubbornness."
"yes, think about it, there are more than a hundred Dementors, if it weren't for Professor Dumbledore's action, Harry would definitely be dead." Hermione said as she teased Crookshank.
Crookshank grabbed a spider and was about to devour it. Silver reached out and took the spider - "Crookshan, you should eat something healthier and beneficial." Silver pulled out a jar of dried fish. Crook Hill rushed up excitedly.
"More than a hundred Dementors, hmph, the people from the Ministry of Magic are stupid. When they first arrived, they only brought two teams, that is, twenty-four Dementors, and now there are more than a hundred, and they are still breeding so fast in the absence of food. ”
Hermione looked at Silver in horror. "Do they still breed?"
"That's right." Silver nodded. "Dementors multiply like mushrooms, they suck pleasure and leave nothing but pain and sorrow. The more pain and sorrow, the faster the Dementor breeding colony. ”
"But the Dementors are guarding the entrance to Hogwarts, and they can't get food, so how can they still breed?"
"I suspect the Dementors have found a place that resembles an ancient battlefield. In the environment of the ancient battlefield, hundreds of thousands of years ago, people wailed about death, obsessed with death, and suffered when they struggled. The obsessions and emotions left by a large number of people before death can not dissipate for hundreds of thousands of years. Such a place has plenty of dead air for Dementors to breed - Dementors don't just suck pleasure and souls. Usually in such places, Dementors will multiply at alarming degrees. The people sent by the Ministry of Magic to watch over the Dementors didn't notice anything wrong. Once the Dementors are on size, wizards will have a hard time dealing with them. Dumbledore could easily defeat hundreds or thousands of Dementors, but if there were more than 10,000 Dementors, even a wizard like Professor Dumbledore would not dare to drive them away. More than 10,000 Dementors stay together, enough to freeze fragile souls directly. ”
"So what do we do? What should I do if there are more and more Dementor breeding colonies? Hermione listened to Silver's solemn words, and couldn't help but be scared.
"Hehe, in fact, most of it was to scare you just now. Where is it possible for Dementors to multiply to more than 10,000. It is true that extreme environments like the ancient battlefield are conducive to the breeding of Dementors, but there are limits. What's more, Dementors are also intelligent creatures, and they are not stupid enough to multiply in large numbers. As soon as this sign appears, even the stubborn Fudge will come forward to suppress it. More than a hundred Dementors did not cross Fudge's psychological bottom line. I think the original idea of the Dementors was to lose a little bit so that the Ministry of Magic who was guarding them wouldn't be too much of a hindrance. This time Professor Dumbledore made a move, and those Dementors shouldn't dare to play like this in the future. Silver laughed.
Hermione smacked Silver with the book in annoyance.
"But seriously, there is a special environment near Hogwarts where Dementors can breed, and this should really be investigated, is there any ancient battlefield or anything like that on this side of Hogwarts?"
"Jack, Professor Dumbledore said, let's not leave the school." Hermione was still a little angry.
"That's what I said, nothing else. Don't be angry, I just wanted to make a joke......"
