Chapter 136: Servants of Death: Dementors
"How's it going? Severus? When Dumbledore arrived, he immediately asked Severus.
Because what was left of the original celebration was in tatters, even the tent that had been cut open by Severus was taken away by the Ministry of Magic.
As a result, Dumbledore, who arrived very late, had nothing to look out for.
But it always felt like Dumbledore had said this very smoothly
Is it a delusion?
It seems that every time Dumbledore arrives a step late, sometimes he comes a little earlier and can check on himself, and sometimes he simply asks Severus directly when he comes to the scene.
It feels like a cop in a Grim Reaper schoolboy.
In that case, wouldn't it be better for Dumbledore not to come and go back to school and report to you?!
Complaining, by the way, he talked about the situation and his own guesses, and then, Severus continued to stand, looking at the mess in front of him, and by the way, to see what Dumbledore had in mind.
The sun had already begun to set, and the light was bright in an open place like Hogsmeade.
Dumbledore stood in the snow and didn't know what he was thinking, and Severus continued to watch a piece of waste paper fly through the air, not knowing who had dropped it.
Don't wizards know how to take care of the environment?
Then, more waste paper rolled over with some snow.
Finally, not far in front of Severus and Dumbledore, there was a sudden stop, and a bright light suddenly lit up on the ground, and with a "bang", a black shadow was thrown out of it, like clothes thrown out of a washing machine.
When the shadow first came out, Severus and Dumbledore shot a spell in tacit agreement, and hit the shadow accurately.
However, the black shadow did not stop as if it was not affected, but flew quickly into the air.
That's right, he can fly!
But is it useful to be able to fly?
The two strongest wizards in the world are here, how can they escape with this little means?!
Severus sneered, and then a white light knocked him down, it was Severus's patronus.
The black shadow that was driven down had a tattered cloak and a hood covering its head, a body of carrion-like skin tightly wrapped a few bones, as if it had been soaked in water, and there was no blood on the scabbed hands, and even the face under the hood had no obvious facial features, only some holes were left in the corresponding positions, and the circular mouthparts-like hollows in the middle made bursts of whining sounds, which looked extremely terrifying.
Obviously,
It's a Dementor!
While Dumbledore and Severus were still looking, the struggling Dementor suddenly disappeared with a "bang".
But instead of running away, it exploded directly.
That's right, it exploded directly in front of the eyes of the two of them, and the wave of air mixed with snowflakes and waste paper covered Dumbledore's face.
Dumbledore didn't use magic to resist.
"Dementors?" Dumbledore muttered to himself.
"That's right, it's a Dementor!" Severus added, "The characteristics are obvious, aren't they? ”
"That's not right!" Dumbledore said again, "Severus, although it is true that he is a Dementor, but it must not be an ordinary Dementor, and he will not be wrong to appear, it is an apparition." ”
"Apparently not? He was sent by some wizard. Severus said slowly, "Something!" ”
Then, Dumbledore waved his wand lightly, and a "box of Eris" similar to the previously discovered "Eris Box" appeared in front of the two of them.
"Sure enough, it's this thing again." Dumbledore sighed softly.
Severus: "Again?" ”
"Yes, you read that right, it's that one, exactly the same." Dumbledore added, "I left today because it was lost. ”
"Hehe," Severus said mockingly, "are you sure you keep it well?" Couldn't it be just thrown away?! ”
"Or do you think someone can steal something from your office?"
Severus said with a look of evil taste.
Does the Headmaster of Hogwarts lose something? It's just a joke!
Is it a place where ordinary people can enter? Who would dare to go there and steal!
Is it long?
Voldemort wasn't that mad, okay!
"Alright, let's talk about this Dementor," Dumbledore turned back to the subject, not saying why he lost anything.
"Severus, you shouldn't have used magic to block it just now," Dumbledore said unconvincingly as he cleaned up the mess.
"You might be able to clean it up later!" Severus sneered.
"I mean really, Severus, there's something special that Dementor is absorbing." Dumbledore just said with a smile.
"What's so special, isn't it just some vitality? Or do you think I'm going to say something boring like happiness? ”
"All right, Severus, but happiness is not something that life is boring." Dumbledore finally cleaned up, and said, "I'll take you to school, or I won't be in time for tonight's Christmas dinner." ”
Severus looked at Dumbledore with suspicion, not doubting whether he had this ability, but doubting how the old man could use it?
You know, Dumbledore was also a man who liked to hide clumsy.
Just as no one knew he had an Elder Wand for so many years, no one knew that he could appear in Hogwarts Apparitions.
This old guy doesn't usually know how to use it!
Severus looked at the sun, which was about to set, before he put his hand on Dumbledore's shoulder.
The two of them made it to the Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts without any problems.
This is where Severus killed Dumbledore in the original books.
But it's obviously not Dumbledore's death yet, and Severus doesn't have the idea of killing him, well, maybe once in a while, but it's just an occasional joke, isn't it?!
"You know what? Severus," Dumbledore said slowly, not wanting to eat immediately, "the Dementors are actually loyal servants of the Dead Reaper Nidhogg. ”
Seeing Severus' somewhat indifferent appearance, Dumbledore looked up at the sunset outside the tower and continued, "The Muggles' Grim Reaper image is actually from the Dementors. ”
"Oh, yes."
Perhaps unable to stand Dumbledore's expectant look, Severus responded perfunctorily.
It's actually easy to think of, except for the lack of a scythe, the images of the Dementor and the Grim Reaper are simply a perfect fit, and it is estimated that any normal person can say that the two are linked together!
In particular, the deep chill brought by the Dementors' actions, the phenomenon of all happiness disappearing everywhere they go, and the powerful effect of the Dementors' Kiss.
Not to mention Muggles, even many wizards think that Dementors are the Grim Reaper,
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many wizards so afraid of Dementors.
"But, you know what? Actually, the Dementors were all human wizards in the first place," Dumbledore said, looking back at Severus, "and they're all traitors to the humans!" ”
At this time, Severus finally looked up and met Dumbledore's gaze.
Dumbledore: "They are the most depraved wizards, and the ultimate form of dark wizards!" ”
