Chapter Ninety-Three: The Patron Saint of the Little Wizards
The endless darkness enveloped the Quidditch arena completely, and the young wizards watched in silence as the Dementors floated above them, their minds constantly recalling terrible things.
They feel depressed, powerless, and fearful, as if the end of the world has come.
"Divine Guard!"
Just when everyone was in despair, a slightly immature but extremely determined voice rang out from the Gryffindor stands.
Like a glimmer of light in the darkness, a silver-white animal suddenly appeared, bringing only color and light to this dark world of black and white.
The young wizards turned their heads in unison, and they saw a thin boy with his wand pointed at more than a hundred hideous Dementors in the sky above, and the light from the tip of his wand formed a strong wall in front of the Dementors, like the only light in the darkness.
It was an image that was etched in everyone's minds and remained in everyone's mind for many years to come.
"It's Evan Mason, that's his patronus. ”
I don't know who shouted, but everyone suddenly remembered that they had read an article in the Hogwarts Wizards about defending against Dementors, and the Patronus Charm was the only spell that could fight against Dementors.
The young wizards hurriedly took out their wands and pointed them at the sky to recite the incantation.
Like the stars in the dark night, the silver-white light lit up in the stands.
Soon, Evan knew how many people were secretly practicing the Patronus Charm, and the entire stand was lit up with more than six hundred silver-white lights.
The dense light and mist emitted by everyone joined together, dispelling the fear and cold in an instant.
Among them, there are quite a few people whose wand tips have begun to condense into a complete Patronus.
Percy's Patronus was the first to burst out of the light mist, and it appeared to be a weasel, followed by a dozen or so strange Patronus of all kinds.
Evan saw an otter appear at the tip of Hermione's wand, and it circled around him twice before flying towards the Dementor.
Following these intact Patronus, a white mist of light erupted upward, and countless halos of light scattered in all directions.
Like sharp arrows, the light mist attacks the Dementors according to the caster's wishes.
The Dementors seemed to have never been in this situation, and in the face of such a large number of Patronus and a large number of happy emotions of light, they retreated in horror, and the monsters that had brought despair and fear to others felt the fear itself for the first time, and they instinctively wanted to escape.
In the next second, a pleasant chirp came from the highest part of the castle.
It was Fawkes's voice, which Evan had heard in the Chamber of Secrets last semester. He looked back and saw a huge silver-white phoenix flying out of the Headmaster's office with its wings flapped, it was Dumbledore's Patronus, a very rare and powerful magical creature Patronus.
With a huge white halo that was more dazzling than any Patronus, it quickly approached the Quidditch pitch. Under its illumination, the slow-moving Dementors are turning into wisps of green smoke at a speed visible to the naked eye, completely disappearing from this world.
The average wizard's god amulet can only chase away Dementors at best, but Dumbledore's phoenix can actually kill Dementors.
It seems that these Dementors broke into the castle and made the greatest white wizard of our time really angry.
The next second, following the trajectory of the phoenix's flight, Evan saw that Harry was falling from a high altitude, and he hurried towards the center of the Quidditch field.
Ron and Hermione were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed
"Thankfully, the ground is so soft. ”
"I thought he was going to die, but he didn't even break his glasses. ”
Harry heard the whispers of the men, but couldn't understand what they were saying.
He didn't know where he was, how he got here, or what he was doing before he got here.
All he knew was that he was in pain all over his body, as if he had been beaten.
"Thanks to Evan and his protectors, we have been able to wake up from fear and despair!"
"More than a hundred Dementors, this is the most terrible thing I've ever seen in my life. ”
yes, the most terrible, the most terrible thing! Harry remembered, the black shadows in the turbans, the horror under the turbans
Also, the coldness all over his body and the constant screams in his head, the man seemed to say something at the end
Harry's eyes suddenly opened, and he was lying in the school hospital.
Gryffindor House Quidditch team members were splattered with mud from head to toe and were surrounding his bedside. Aven, Ron, and Hermione were there, and they looked like they had just climbed up from the pool.
"Harry, Harry, what do you think?" said Ron's face turned pale.
"What happened?" Harry's memory flew back as he sat up suddenly, startling everyone in front of him.
"You fell! There must be, fifty feet?!" Ron said.
"We thought you were dead!" said Arya, who was standing nearby, looking trembling.
Hearing her words, Hermione let out a short, shrill sound in a low voice, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"But what happened," said Harry, "and can we play again?"
No one spoke, and the terrible truth sank like a stone into Harry's heart.
"We didn't fail, did we?"
"Diggory has caught the Golden Snitch!" Fred said, "and after you fall, he doesn't understand what happened." When he looks back and sees you on the ground, he's going to interrupt the game and want to replay. ”
"But they won fairly, they won fairly, and even Wood admitted. George followed.
"Where's Wood?" Harry looked around, suddenly realizing that Wood wasn't there.
"It's still raining!" said Fred, "and we think he's going to drown himself." ”
Harry buried his face between his knees and grabbed his hair with both hands.
"Alright, Harry, you've always been able to catch the Golden Snitch before. Fred said.
"There's always going to be a miss. George said, "It's not over yet!"
"We lost a hundred points, right? So, if Hufflepuff loses to Ravenclaw and we beat Ravenclaw and Slytherin"
"Hufflepuff is going to drop at least two hundred points. George said, "But if they beat Ravenclaw"
"No way, Ravenclaw is fantastic. But if Slytherin loses to Hufflepuff"
"It all depends on the score, no matter who wins or loses, it's a matter of 100 points. ”
Harry lay in his hospital bed, listening to Fred and George's discussion, and he didn't say a word.
They lost, and it was all because of him, and it was the first time he had lost in a Quidditch match.
About ten minutes later, Madam Pomfrey came over and told the team to let Harry rest.
"We'll come back to see you later. Fred told Harry, "Don't blame yourself, Harry! you're still our best Seeker." ”
The team is gone, leaving behind trails of mud. Madam Pomfrey closed the door behind them, looking displeased.
Aven, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other and stayed.
