Chapter 163: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (4)
Just glanced at it in a trance, and when she looked again, there was nothing, and Phyllis didn't see what it was, and it looked like a dog, or a wolf. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info but it will never be an ordinary dog or wolf, if it is an ordinary animal, how can it disappear in the blink of an eye, and then think about the Azkaban prison escape time that has been in a lot of noise these days, this dog or wolf is likely to be Sirius Black, Phyllis remembers that he was also a student of Hogwarts, and he was still quite a mischievous guy, but he didn't expect that he was still an Animagus and could turn into a big black wolfdog.
Phyllis was not interested in escaping Sirius, let alone whether he had come to trouble Harry Potter or not, protecting the boy who had survived was something Headmaster Dumbledore should consider, and of course, she didn't mind getting involved if it happened. While not interested in the fugitive Sirius, she was curious about the Dementors, the guards of Azkaban, who were chasing Sirius.
Known as one of the most hateful creatures in the world, Dementors haunt the darkest and dirtiest places in droves, cheering corruption and despair, draining the peace, hope, and joy in the air around them. Wherever it passes, all pleasure is sucked out of it, reminding people of the most terrible things, and the "mouth" under his hood sucks people's souls.
This is a description of the Dementor, it can be seen that this is a terrible monster for the soul, "terrible monster" or anything Phyllis doesn't care, she has seen countless more terrible things, and there are even a lot of "terrible monsters" hidden in her body, but the "for the soul" point is very interesting to her.
It is said that almost no one can resist the effects of Dementors on their souls, and the surest way that comes to mind is to drive them away with Patronus Charms, creatures that have a very special way of influencing their souls, sucking away all positive emotions. Ever since she heard that there was such a thing in this world, Phyllis had developed a great curiosity about Dementors, but the vast majority of Dementors were concentrated in Azkaban, the prison of the wizarding world, and she did not have the courage to brave Azkaban. But now the opportunity has come, and in order to hunt Sirius, the Dementors have stepped out of the islands that hang far overseas, and they finally have a chance to meet this "magical" creature.
Phyllis turned to the ground where Sirius had just been, and sniffled, he was injured, and although the wound had stopped, he could still smell a faint smell of blood. Phyllis took a closer look, chose a direction, chased after it, and followed Sirius to meet the Dementors, and if she was lucky enough, she might be able to catch one and study it.
Dementors are a great deterrent to any living person, and it's a good idea to use them to guard the prison, but it's not a good idea to hunt down fugitives with such a confused mind, especially a fugitive like Sirius with his superb anti-detective skills. On the way to track Sirius Black, Phyllis couldn't help but let out such a feeling, worthy of being a guy who could escape from Azkaban, Blake's escape skills are indeed very powerful, and soon Phyllis lost the guidance of the smell of blood, it seems that he bandaged the wound in time, and she can only follow the tracks. Several times Phyllis chased for several kilometers before she realized that she had chased the wrong direction, so she had to turn back and choose a new direction.
As the sun was about to set, Phyllis came to an abandoned village, drew her wand, and watched carefully. As she was about to make it, Phyllis felt the smell of blood in the air reappear, hovering over the deserted hamlet. There are two possibilities for this situation, one is that Blake's wound attack, such as the escape of the lost dog is not conducive to recuperation, and it is normal for the wound to occur, but there is another possibility, he was discovered, and the big wolf dog wants to come to a hunt.
I don't know how long this small village has been deserted, the barely visible road is overgrown with weeds, and most of the only dozen thatched huts have collapsed, and the surroundings are extremely quiet, and there is no sound, but it is still summer, and it is the time when the insects are singing and the birds are singing, but since entering the small village, Phyllis has not heard a single insect chirping.
Phyllis didn't feel the presence of death, so why did this happen? Although it has been abandoned for a long time, but looking at the corner of the road, the emerald green weeds are still growing tenaciously, and the life force here has not been disturbed, why do you see only the plants and not see an animal?
Phyllis searched carefully, and suddenly felt a chill in her back, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a large black wolfdog pounce on her.
Phyllis kicked her legs and leaped backwards, and when she was in mid-air, she waved her wand, and a line of golden magic words flashed, and then turned into a giant net, and shrouded the big wolfdog that pounced on the air.
The big wolf dog hurriedly rolled to the side, and when he stood up again, he had turned into a tall man with a pair of dark gray eyes, and he looked quite handsome, but now this handsome man was quite embarrassed, his face was pale, his face was sunken, his long hair was messily entangled, and there was a wound on his left rib, although it had been bandaged, but it could still be seen that the slight blood oozed out.
Phyllis landed lightly on the ground and said, "Sirius Black? ”
Sirius looked at the young woman warily, and when he saw that she directly pointed out his identity, he did not deny it, and said, "It's me, who are you?" I don't remember such a young and powerful wizard in the British wizarding world. ”
Phyllis pulled her hair that was somewhat disheveled by the evening breeze, and said with a grin, "You also said that I was young, and you were locked up when I appeared in the wizarding world. ”
"Oh." It is indeed rare to see such a young and powerful wizard, but there is no shortage of talented people in this world, and Sirius is only surprised by her youth, and it is unknown who will win and who will lose in the real fight.
Sirius asked, "You're here to get me?" ”
Phyllis said, "Don't you already have the answer in mind?" ”
Sirius frowned, she really didn't look like she was here to catch herself, and if she did, she wouldn't come alone, but he hated this kind of pretentious appearance. Sirius asked impatiently, "And what are you doing here?" ”
What a reckless Gryffindor, with no patience at all, Phyllis muttered to herself, she really didn't come to catch Sirius, but she couldn't say that she wanted to follow him to see if she could catch a lone Dementor, right?
Phyllis said casually, "It's nothing, just to see what the people who escaped from Azkaban look like." ”
Is that a reason? Since she didn't want to say it, Sirius didn't bother to ask, and said, "Now that you've seen it, you can go." ”
Is this going to drive people out? If you want to go, you can go, look at your downcast now, don't forget that you are still carrying the identity of a fugitive, why are you so arrogant! Phyllis said angrily: "I think the scenery here is very good, I want to stay a little longer, if you feel disturbed, you can leave, don't send it." ”
Sirius glanced at the woman resentfully, although there was also a cloud of anger in his heart, but he also knew that he was indeed in a bad state, and it would be a loss if he really fought. Sirius turned into a big wolfdog, didn't speak, and walked straight outside, and after a few steps he stopped and said, "This was one of the gathering points of Dementors, and just a few days ago you could see some Dementors roaming around. With that, a leap broke out of the already tattered fence and ran into the distance. No one likes a powerful, terrifying creature like a Dementor, and if she's driven away, she doesn't want to live in peace.
It used to be a gathering place for Dementors, so it's so quiet, Phyllis thought. In fact, she was wrong, the cause and effect relationship was reversed, not because the gathering of Dementors drove the Narrum away, but because this was a cursed land, so the Dementors were recruited.
It is estimated that Sirius did not expect that his words made Phyllis stay here even more determined to wait, her purpose was originally to be the horrible group of Dementors.
By this time it was already completely dark, and she couldn't stay outside all the time, so Phyllis found a relatively intact little thatched hut and went in, not bad, at least with a chair to sit on. Phyllis sat down in her chair, closed her eyes, and waited silently.
After waiting for one o'clock in the morning, Phyllis suddenly shivered, and a cold aura slowly moved towards this place. She stepped out and saw two Dementors with tattered black cloaks slowly drifting towards her.
Two? It's a bit of a problem, I haven't heard of anyone catching the Dementors, and I guess it's not easy to live, and the two of them may not be able to handle it themselves, so it's best to wash them up first.
Phyllis stepped forward and shouted, "Hoo God Guard!" A milky translucent unicorn emerged from the tip of its wand and charged towards the Dementor.
The two Dementors were visibly flustered, this Patronus with pure positive emotions was their nemesis, the Dementors scattered and fled, and Phyllis's commanding white unicorn stared at one of the Dementors, driving it away, and as for the other, it was their own target.
Phyllis observed her target from a distance, and sure enough, as in the legend, the Dementors wore a rotten black cloak, occasionally revealing half-rotten hands that seemed to be soaked and rotten, they seemed to have no feet, and they were floating more than ten centimeters above the ground, and the speed was okay, about the same as the speed of an ordinary adult running.
Phyllis crept closer, getting closer to the Dementors, and she felt as if she was being affected by a similar resonance, despair and anguish growing, and joy and peace slowly subsided. This may be the truth of the so-called "sucking happiness", Phyllis has always wondered how the Dementors absorb happiness, now it seems that the Dementors only affect the change of mood, happiness dissipates, despair rises, they do not absorb happiness, a creature living in the darkest and dirtiest environment absorbs happiness, they absorb people's fear and despair, this negative extreme emotion is their food, and through soul resonance to stimulate the dark emotions in people's hearts. No wonder no one can shield the influence of the Dementors, their innate skills can already bypass external stimuli and act directly on the soul.
Phyllis stopped and felt it, it's okay, this level of emotional change is still within her control, as a supernatural trialist, the control of her emotions is also a basic skill, and the influence of dementors on emotions is also limited, the strong-willed can bear it, of course, just endure it, not isolate or eliminate.
At this time, the dementor also noticed Phyllis, and it let out a silent whistle and pounced on Phyllis, and at the same time, the negative emotions suddenly became strong in Phyllis's soul. Kind of funny, Phyllis suppressed the emotional changes in her heart, and while waving her wand, a line of silver-white magic appeared in the air. The demon culture made a white metal chain and wrapped it around the dementor's body several times, holding it firmly in place.
Phyllis walked over, looking at its face that had been hidden under the hood, suddenly her eyes went dark, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, what a powerful and pure negative emotion! Sure enough, I guessed correctly, Dementors are not strictly creatures, they are just a collection of negative emotions.
ps: According to the setting of this story, if you divide the magic power, Dumbledore and Voldemort are the first echelon, Severus Snape, Alat Moody, Minerva McGonagall, Felinis Flitwick, Sirius Black, including the protagonist Phyllis Kate, etc., are all considered the second echelon, although their magic is different, but the difference is not too big, and the real decision of the battle depends on the specific situation, combat skills and temperament at the time. Judging from the plot of this chapter, Sirius is already in a weakened state because of the long run, but his extremely determined heart can offset the impact of weakness on his strength to a certain extent, and he can't beat Phyllis if he really wants to fight, but if he really wants to run, it will be difficult for Phyllis to leave him behind.
It's not an exaggeration to say that Phyllis Kate has such prowess at the age of twenty-five, as Barty Crouch Jr., who was captured at the age of eighteen by Azkaban for joining forces with another Death Eater to defeat and brutally torture two Aurors, the Longbottoms. After several years of torture in Azkaban, and then a long period of house arrest under the Imperius Curse, after some recovery, he subdued Arat Moody, who was known as "the best Auror of all time", and pretended to be a professor at Hogwarts for a year, during which he spent time with many powerful wizards such as Dumbledore and McGonagall without revealing the slightest flaws - Moody, as a core member of the Order of the Phoenix, was quite familiar with Dumbledore. This is the character who is hanging. (To be continued.) )
