Chapter 279: Unwelcome Guest

"Click"

Perhaps because of the sudden cooling of the environment, a crack suddenly appeared in the glass of the window facing the street, and it continued to spread downward. Fastest updates

As the crack spread, the piece of glass finally became overwhelmed and shattered into shards with a thud.

The next moment, the brothers and sisters around it burst apart as if they were responding to it. Shards of glass that should have shimmered were inconspicuous in the dimly lit room, splashing and clattering, covering the entire floor near the window.

The first piece of glass may have been cracked due to a sudden change in temperature, but this time, no matter how you look at it, it was some kind of shock.

In the midst of the three Dursleys shouting and shouting, Harry subconsciously drew his wand and pointed the tip of the wand in the direction of the window.

"Don't do magic, someone will pick you up soon."

In this rather urgent moment, Harry's mind flashed the words on the note that had just been sent by the barn owl.

"Did Mr. Weasley know this was going to happen beforehand?"

He didn't have time to think about it, but he saw a ...... suddenly appear in the originally dark window No, it's several familiar figures!

The cold seems to be heavier.

"What's there?" Uncle Vernon's voice was almost hoarse, and the fear in his tone seemed to overflow at any moment.

"Yes...... Regents, Dementors? Aunt Petunia crossed her arms and said in a trembling voice.

For a moment, Harry almost thought that Muggles could see the silhouette outside the window, but when the next second came, he realized that the Dursleys were just guessing.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the window frame with the latch plugged in was instantly knocked open by a strong force, and several tall figures floated in from the window one after another.

The Dursleys were visibly startled, but their eyes remained on the broken open window, showing no sign of seeing the hooded monsters enter.

Harry held his wand, his fingers clenching the handle of it losing their color from the force.

At this moment, he had to exert a great deal of willpower to resist his urge to cast the Patronus Charm.

One, two, three, four, five...... Five Dementors!

In the past, in order to get them to practice the Patronus Charm, Maca would bring a Dementor every day for them to practice, and every day she would change an energetic practice object.

If he had to say, he had seen a lot of Dementors.

But maybe it's because he's always been nervous, or maybe it's because there's no comparison. It wasn't until now, when five Dementors surrounded him at the same time, that he realized that they weren't all the same as he had remembered.

Although they were all wearing tattered black hooded cloaks, and their fingers were unusually hideous, the reality was that each one was different.

Harry kept retreating under the pressure of the five Dementors, but in a few moments he was forced to lean against the wall, and there was no way back!

"This can't be done...... If you can't, you'll have to cast the Patronus Charm. ”

Harry pursed his lips and gasped for air, the white mist coming out of his mouth and nose almost touching the chest of the dementor at the head.

What to do? Do you want to use it? In the current situation, I have to use it!

Little by little, the Dementors were gathering together, the intense cold giving him goosebumps, an aura of despair that continued to inflict his tense nerves.

No way! If you continue like this, you won't be able to use it even if you want to!

Harry's wand rested on his chest, his right hand clenched so that the tip of the wand trembled, trying to defend the last few inches of hope.

Suddenly, Harry took a deep breath and shouted, "Divine Protection"

"Ding Dong"

He was only halfway through the incantation when he was interrupted by a sudden doorbell.

"Ding Dong Ding Dong"

The doorbell rang unhurriedly, especially abruptly at this urgent moment.

It's like being in an extremely important exam, and the invigilator has just walked up to you and someone suddenly handed you a cheat sheet of answers.

Maybe you really want to take it, but you just don't have the courage of this bear-hearted leopard!

"Aunt Penny! Open the door! ”

As Harry stepped back, the Dursleys stared at him like monsters; And when the doorbell rang suddenly, the couple was even more frightened.

Want them to open the door? What kind of joke is this?

"Bang!"

There is no need to bother now, because the door panel has been completely "unloaded" by the people outside and flew directly to the center of the living room.

"Lightly! Don't you have to pay? ”

An unusually familiar voice rang out from outside the door, and Harry felt like tears were about to fall.

"Leni doesn't care! If you want to pay, you will pay, bastard Maca! ”

"Of course I lost it! Do you have the money...... Oh! Good afternoon, everyone, it's really disturbing to come here at this time......"

In the horrified gaze of the Dursleys, two figures, one tall and one short, walked in through the dark gate, and the atmosphere of a leisurely stroll was as if they were really just guests.

“…… Allow me to introduce myself," the visitor nodded slightly, smiling, "My name is Marka McLean." ”

Despite the words, Maca's actions did not lag in the slightest.

I saw that his right hand suddenly glowed with a silvery-white light, and the fine and dense particles of light swirled between his fingers, like wisps of silver flames.

With a flick of his hand, the flame of light burst out, turning into an eagle in mid-air, and suddenly swept in front of Harry.

In an instant, the five Dementors were knocked out of the way and fell like rags into the corner of the living room.

In an instant, the originally dim and silent space seemed to be completely shattered, and the entire living room lit up. The setting sun outside the window re-entered the room, gilding everything around it with a layer of gold.

Only the broken windows and the falling doors kept telling the Dursleys that nothing had been a nightmare.

“…… Maca. ”

Harry suddenly felt his whole body loosen and sat down on the floor against the wall, and he was about to faint.

"Sleep you [beep] [beep], get up!"

Maca walked up to him, pulled out a white potion bottle, uncorked it, and poured it into his mouth.

“…… cough cough cough ...... Ahem......" Harry seemed to choke, and after a sharp cough, he stuck out his tongue again, "Oh! Maca ...... This thing is so bitter......"

Although he was complaining, a cheerful smile appeared on his face, as if he remembered something happy.

"Really?" Maca nodded as she withdrew the potion bottle, "It's really bitter, I remember Ginny said it too, didn't it?" ”

As he spoke, he stood up again and looked around.

"Okay, so what's next......"

Maca drew her wand and waved it lightly, and everything in the room seemed to shake, and everything that was destroyed flew back like a rewind.

The door panel floated into the air, flew back upside down according to the trajectory that had just flown in, and re-installed it on the door frame; The window frame that had been knocked open by the Dementor closed automatically, and the glass fragments flew back into the window frame again, turning back into full glass again; Even the tables, chairs, tablecloths, and dishes that had been bumped into were restored to their original state.

When the cracks in the original piece of glass were gone, there was no sign of invasion in the entire living room.

"This ...... What kind of spell is this? ”

Since Maca didn't chant a spell, Harry couldn't imagine what kind of spell could have such an effect, it was as if time had been turned back.

"Huh?" Maca turned around, shrugged her shoulders and said, "You've studied too?" It's a repair spell. ”

"Fix it as before?" Harry was stunned.

Maca nodded, pulled out a chair from the table and sat down, then looked back at the Dursleys.

"Aren't you going to bring me a cup of tea?"

"Who's going to pour you tea! You're trespassing! Give it to me."

"Vernon."

Mr. Dursley's words were interrupted by his wife.

"Mike"

"McLean, ma'am."

"Yes, Mr. McLean......" Petunia forced herself to calm down, and she paused, "though I appreciate you just now...... But can you explain why? ”

Maca stared at her for a moment, then smiled, "I'm here to pick up Harry, I'm sure you've seen it too, he still doesn't seem safe here." ”

"Yes...... It's okay for you to leave, what are we going to do? Penny felt like she couldn't calm down at all, and she clenched her fists and said excitedly, "Did a Dementor just come in?" Where does it go now? Will it be back? ”

Maca waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, ma'am...... There are still people guarding outside, and we will arrange for you to move to a safer place as soon as possible."

He paused, then added, "Of course, I mean...... If you agree. ”

Penny stared at Maca tightly, and it took a long time for her to let go of her clenched hand and turn to walk towards the kitchen. On the side, Vernon seemed to have gradually calmed down from the initial panic, and just sat down on the sofa with an unkind face.

By the way, Dudley, who had been under the table since the beginning, had only slowly crawled out until now.

Not long after, Penny brought a teapot and a teacup, and poured a cup of hot black tea for Maca.

Perhaps because Maca had deliberately changed into a high-end Muggle costume, he was much more normal in the eyes of the Dursleys than the other wizards.

But no matter how normal he is, he is still a wizard, which is still difficult to accept in the hearts of the Dursleys.

"Thank you, ma'am." Maca picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, "Speaking of which, Madame seems to have been"

"Shut up!"

As if she had guessed what Maca was about to say, Penny suddenly let out a hysterical shout, her voice unusually shrill in her voice.
