Chapter 055: Patronus vs Dementors
Sirius hurriedly looked at Madam Pomfrey, and when she nodded, he almost fell to the ground with a limp, but fortunately Lupin helped him in time.
"Everybody's heard!" Peter jumped up excitedly, his face suddenly turning purple, "He's lying!" What he just said is not true at all! ”
"Don't get too excited! Peter! Snape sneered, "Catherine's only reason why I want to take out the concentrated nutrient solution is because I have placed gaseous manic agents around the two of you. ”
When Madam Pomfrey heard this, she hurriedly threw several inspection spells at Peter, and her face suddenly turned ugly when she saw the information they reflected.
"What's wrong? Madam Pomfrey! What the hell is wrong with me? Peter shouted in horror.
"Looks like you're not good at potions!" Snape's eyes glowed with a strange cold light, "I don't know that people who are weak in body, if they use manic agents, mild people will have palpitations and shortness of breath, sweating, endocrine disorders, severe cases of shock and even coma, and if the treatment is not timely, it is easy to have sequelae such as hemiplegia." ”
Peter pressed his chest in horror, his face darkened, and he fell directly to the ground on his back and convulsed, and after Madam Pomfrey threw a few spells at him to relieve his symptoms, he glared at Snape angrily: "Enough! Severus! If you talk nonsense, you'll scare him to death! ”
"It's just a mouse, what does it matter if it's dead!" Snape said dismissively.
"He's dead, and Sirius's innocence will be harder to restore, Severus!" Dumbledore looked at the Potions Professor with a warning in his eyes, "Harry needs his godfather, someone who can take care of him wholeheartedly, know that they are both Lily's children, you can't favor one over the other." ”
Snape's face changed, and he glared at Sirius angrily. Then he flicked his sleeves and turned away directly.
"Headmaster! Is what you just said true? Harry asked incredulously.
"Of course! As soon as Sirius's reputation is restored, you can live in his house. Dumbledore smiled and said, "However, you still have to stay at your aunt's house for two weeks a year. ”
"No problem!" Harry ran to Sirius and asked uneasily, "Can I really live with you?" Godfather! ”
"Of course!" Sirius barely pulled out a friendly smile, "It's just that I don't have a house right now. You'll have to wait a little longer. ”
"It's okay! Never mind! Harry excitedly shook Sirius' hand, not minding the dirt on it, and Lupin smiled and reached out to touch the brunette boy's head. Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick also walked over to congratulate him.
The happy scene here further sets off Peter's misery, after all, after Sirius escaped from prison, he began to be worried, Catherine moved on the pet house again, further weakening his body, plus Snape's deliberately arranged gaseous mania, Peter will definitely not feel well, even if his life is not in danger.
But these two Slytherins weren't enough. One deliberately described the nutrient concentrate as a truth elixir, and the other deliberately exposed and exaggerated the consequences, so that he almost died literally, but fortunately Madam Pomfrey was present. didn't let death take him away at this moment.
Despite the fact that it was Peter who seemed to be the most miserable on the surface, Sirius was actually not having a good time, because Catherine had a needle in the heart. Although it is not fatal, it is extremely painful and does not affect life. But it is always disturbing.
Because for Catherine, it is true that she no longer hates Sirius, but she can't accept that the elder closest to her is actually a person who does things so impulsively and completely recklessly, and she is very disappointed in this, and she does not want to accept it.
So Catherine took advantage of Sirius's guilt to force him to change himself and quit those bad habits, as evidenced by the red-haired girl's message in her address book as soon as she was out of sight of the others.
Katherine Draco: Help me relay good news to your mother, her cousin is innocent.
Draco, who was chatting with the others in the Great Hall, suddenly saw his address book flashing green, and quickly opened it to check, and then let out a high-pitched exclamation, and the members of the SG team who discovered the source of his anomaly opened their respective address books one after another, and then let out one after another screams, and the people around them came over to take a look, and all of them gasped.
"The real killer who is still the Potters and the killer of the 11 Muggles is Peter Pettigrew, who is an illegal Animagus who deliberately left a finger to pretend to be dead, but kept hiding in the Weasley house as a rat in order to make a move on Harry at the first moment of receiving the news, Sirius. Black recognized him from the Daily Prophet and escaped to Hogwarts in order to expose Peter's plot.
The above is summarized in Sirius. Blake's narration and Peter Pettigrew's reaction when confronted with him. George read Catherine's message aloud, and then looked at his brother Percy and brother Ron with shocked faces.
"Now the two of them are in person, Albus. Under the control of Dumbledore and several other professors, please do not leave the Great Hall at will until further notice. Fred read out the message from the principal again, and the students who had just wanted to run out to see the excitement quickly stopped, and gathered around the SG team members to wait and see how the situation changed further.
But before the new news appeared, there was a sudden loud "boom" outside the auditorium.
"What's going on?" Percy and Ixace, who were guarding the door of the Great Hall, immediately turned and walked out of the Great Hall, and the students who had been around them followed, and then they saw Catherine and Snape rushing towards the oak gate with their wands in hand, and they couldn't help but follow closely behind, and then all the people who rushed to the gate of the castle were dumbfounded.
In the sky above the castle, hundreds of Dementors were circling back and forth, constantly hitting the castle's defensive barriers, all sounds seemed to be forcibly stopped, suddenly all disappeared, a terrible cold wave enveloped the entire field, all the green grass withered, even the always strong beating willow tree seemed to be frozen, all the branches hung on the ground.
"Everyone! Raise your wands! Dumbledore's angry shouts rang out behind the crowd, and his pet phoenix flew low above everyone's heads, spreading its wings and bursting into flames, driving away all the cold and warming everyone's hearts.
"Shout with me now!" Dumbledore made his way through the passage in the middle of the crowd to the front of the crowd, his perceptive blue eyes glancing at Catherine before looking up at the Dementors.
"Tracy! Become a phantom! Catherine said silently in her heart, and the green phoenix circled and rushed into the air, and then turned downward, with the refreshing autumn breeze, blowing on everyone's faces, and everyone's minds couldn't help but spring up with the happiest memories of their lives.
The crowd raised their wands above their heads, pointing them at the fear-only Dementors, turning their happiness into the most powerful magic.
“ExpectoPatronum!” At Dumbledore's shouts, two almost identical silver phoenixes flew up from his side.
“ExpectoPatronum!” In a chorus that almost collapsed the castle, hundreds of patronus spirits rushed into the sky after the two phoenixes.
“ExpectoPatronum!” In the sound that resounded through the sky, a silver-white light mask like essence instantly expanded, and all the dementors who couldn't dodge turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the air.
The Dementors were banished, the clouds were dispelled, the moonlight softly sprinkled across the land, and the bright stars conveyed their gratitude to all.
There was silence, a burst of peace.
Then came heartfelt smiles and deafening cheers.
Everyone was hugging each other, celebrating this rare victory, completely forgetting the difference between the four academies.
Because at this moment, they were all just Hogwarts students, and they were just working together to banish the Dementors who had invaded the campus, and to chase away the nightmare that scared everyone on the train when school started.
What a rare sight!
At least since the students of Slytherin and Gryffindor began to look at each other unpleasantly, they hadn't seen all the students at Hogwarts get along so well.
Although it was only an accident that caused this long-dormant seed to germinate, it is also worth taking care of this young seedling.
So Dumbledore suddenly conjured a platform under his feet and shouted loudly with a amplification charm to draw everyone's attention to him.
"Students! There was a string of accidents tonight, and even the Dementors were intent on storming the castle, but with all of us working together, we managed to repel the invading enemy, so I decided to celebrate the victory with an all-night party tonight. ”
"Yay!" All the students cheered, and even the ghosts and professors couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Just in case, of course! I decided to put a little limit. Dumbledore's words calmed the cheers for a moment, "I want everyone to stay in the Great Hall for the time being, including while you sleep, until I announce the lifting of the ban, during which the house-elves will provide you with a qiē service." ”
"Is that okay? The children. Dumbledore asked with a smile.
“Yes!” All the students shouted with joy, and everyone had a look of joy on their faces.
"Now, the carnival begins!" With a wave of his wand, Dumbledore shot a multicolored light into the Great Hall, which burst into the music of the Strange Sisters, the ceiling lit up with various shaking lights, and the four long tables pressed against the wall, leaving a large open space for everyone to move.
"Wow!" The students were attracted one after another, and all of them walked into the auditorium in surprise, and after confirming that everything was true, they couldn't help but pull up their favorite objects and start dancing, even if they didn't have a sweetheart, they were slowly immersed in this sea of joy.
