"It's unexpected."

After the last class of the morning, everyone was in the corridor discussing the content of the class with great interest.

"It's the first time I've known that a simple human transfiguration spell has so many things to pay attention to."

"yes, that Tonks assistant is really good, I dare say I can change my appearance before the end of class."

"Don't brag, you're just making your head bigger......"

Everyone walked towards the auditorium with a smile and a smile, and it was clear that they were all interested in the new Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

It's a pity that there are only two classes a week, and the rest of the time they have to continue to face Umbridge.

In the auditorium, some people had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as they saw them, they couldn't wait to ask, "How is the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, won't you still let us study?" ”

"No, of course not." The Year 6 students then excitedly talked about their experiences in class, which attracted more and more people around them.

"Change your appearance......" Ron said thoughtfully, "Harry, if we learn this trick, we will be able to clean up Malfoy, if only we become Crabbe and Goyle again......"

Harry's eyes lit up immediately.

Being able to beat Malfoy without revealing his identity was what he had always wanted.

"Don't think about it." Hermione glanced at the two of them beside her, and said lightly, "This special course should only be for students from the sixth grade and above, and we will only be able to learn it until next year...... If the Tonks assistant was still at Hogwarts. ”

"Why?" Ron was a little unconvinced, "Isn't it necessary for people below the sixth grade to hide themselves?" Or can we stay in school all the time? ”

"Didn't you even listen to what they just said?" Hermione turned her head impatiently and said, "Then let me remind you that the premise of changing your own appearance is to learn human transformation, which is a high-end transformation magic, and you can't learn it at all below the fifth grade." ”

"But we're in the fifth grade." Harry said, "And what I'm learning is also human deformation,"

He took out his homework, flipped out the part of the deformation class and said, "Look, we even do homework to explain the development and changes of human deformation in each period. ”

"Of course I do." Hermione said, "But have you learned?" ”

Harry was silent when she asked.

Has he learned?

The answer to this question is, of course, no.

At best, he wouldn't be reprimanded by Professor McGonagall, and Ron ...... He was even worse than he was, and in the last Transfiguration class, he was deducted two points for failing to complete Professor McGonagall's request.

"You see, that's the key." Hermione said, "It's a lot more complicated to change your appearance and bones than to turn your arms into branches, and even if she were willing to teach, you could learn it?" ”

Ron opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't refute it at all, and finally could only mumble quietly: "Really, it's obviously Defense Against the Dark Arts, why does it have something to do with Transfiguration." ”

No one answered him, and Hermione, as if she hadn't heard, continued to herself, "So, until we finish learning about human transformation, this kind of class will only appear in the sixth or seventh grade. ”

"And what about us...... Harry asked anxiously, "won't we let Umbridge teach us, I've had enough." ”

"I don't know." Hermione shook her head, "Maybe there's something else." ”

She glanced down at her new schedule, "We'll not be able to take Assistant Tonks' Defence Against the Dark Arts class until Wednesday, and we should know by then." ”

After lunch, the group walked out of the auditorium.

At the same time, Kyle is called to the principal's office.

He looked at the Dementor floating in the office, wearing a tattered black cloak, and asked suspiciously, "Professor, have you decided to change pets?" If that's the case, then I'll leave Fox to take care of it. ”

"With the exception of Azkaban, the Ministry of Magic does not allow Dementors to appear anywhere else, let alone private ones.

Dumbledore said calmly, "Besides, taking care of Fawkes is not a complicated matter, I can do it myself." ”

"And what is this ......," Kyle asked, pointing at the Dementors.

"Remember what I told you the other day?" Dumbledore said, "We need to know if the Dementors have defected to Voldemort at all. ”

"Ah, that's right." Kyle remembered, "But didn't Fudge say that the Dementors didn't want to leave Azkaban?" He also came to Hogwarts alone that afternoon.

"The Dementors have changed their minds?"

"Or maybe someone else has changed their minds." Dumbledore stood up and walked over to the Dementor, "As it happens, the Ministry of Magic brought it with me as soon as I told Fudge that I was going to make a trip to Azkaban in person. ”

"That's a coincidence." Kyle said that he looked around the office and noticed that there was no one else here but himself and Dumbledore.

"It came on its own?"

"Of course not." Dumbledore said, shaking his head, "The striker in charge of delivering it has a bad stomach and has gone to the school hospital, and Madam Pomfrey should be able to cure them in two hours."

"I'm also going to visit them at the school hospital now, so I'll leave it to you, no problem."

"No problem, Professor." Kyle nodded.

"That's good." Dumbledore said.

He then leaves, leaving Kyle and the Dementors in the office.

The fire in the fireplace was very strong, but Kyle couldn't help but wrap himself in the thick robes on his body, and I have to say, with the Dementors there, no amount of heating was useless.

Even if this creature does nothing and just floats there, it can absorb all the temperature around it, especially in such a small space.

Summer is fine, but winter is a bit of a sin.

Fortunately, at this time, Fawkes flew to Kyle's shoulder, and the biting cold finally disappeared.

The Dementor jerked back, seemingly frightened of the Phoenix's approach.

Well, the phoenix has one more role to drive away the Dementors, and Kyle is more and more envious of Dumbledore.

He looked up, trying to make out the Dementor in front of him, to see if it was one of the ones he had come into contact with.

But the Dementors all looked pretty much the same, at least to Kyle, who looked at them for a long time and didn't find anything particularly familiar.

Kyle subconsciously took a step forward, and the Dementor stepped back again, clinging to the wall.

"Don't be afraid, I just wanted to ask you a few questions." Kyle took Fawkes in his hand and fed it the pod from Professor Sprout in his pocket, asking, "Do you remember the prisoner's escape that day?" ”

The Dementor didn't speak, and Kyle didn't urge, just waited patiently.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the Dementors made a dull "click" sound like one of those old radios that were in poor contact.

"Where...... One ......"

"The time when ten people escaped from prison." Kyle said.

"Remember ......"

"Good." Kyle nodded, "What happened that day, can you tell me?" ”

The Dementor glanced down at Fawkes in Kyle's arms.

"Don't worry, just say yours, it won't do anything to you."

The Dementor wanted to back off, but there was already a wall behind it, and after a few attempts, it had to give up and float there.

"That day...... A lot of people came...... It's them...... Open it...... Prison Door ......"

"Didn't you stop it?" Kyle asked, "It's the Dementors' responsibility to watch over the prisoners." ”

"Can't stop ......"

"Why, can't you beat it?"

"Can't stop ......," the Dementor repeated, "not allowed...... We...... Stopped ......"

"Someone stopped me." Kyle asked, "Is it the ones who opened the prison door, or some other Dementor." ”

The Dementor didn't speak, but Kyle had already guessed the answer, so he changed his words,

"Can you tell me? How many Dementors left Azkaban after that time.

Oh, don't worry, your words here won't reach the Ministry of Magic, I swear in Dumbledore's name. ”

This time, the Dementors were silent for more than ten minutes before replying in a hoarse voice, "Three groups of ......"

"Three groups of Dementors?" Kyle frowned, "How much is that?" ”

"That's sixty." A voice came from the wall.

It was a witch with her hair in a bun, and Kyle had been sleeping with her eyes closed when she came in, but now she was in the frame closest to them.

The witch explained, "When Azkaban was first established, there were five areas where criminals of different degrees were kept, and each area was guarded by twenty Dementors, and after three days there were another twenty, and this number was fixed for the convenience of the Ministry of Magic's statistics and management. ”

"I see." Kyle froze.

Sixty Dementors chose to follow Voldemort...... Since he didn't know how many Dementors there were, Kyle wasn't sure if there were too many or too few.

The only thing that is certain is that there are Dementors who have defected.

It's no wonder that this time the Death Eaters escaped from prison, the Ministry of Magic only said that they would let the strikers and Aurors go after them, and did not mention the Dementors at all, which is not their style.

After all, in order to hunt down Sirius two years ago, there were almost a hundred Dementors who were transferred to Hogwarts, and all the raids were carried out by the Dementors, and the accompanying strikers only played a supporting role.

Apparently the Ministry of Magic had known that the Dementors had mutinied, but they had never told Dumbledore.

"Boy!"

As Kyle pondered, a voice came from the portrait again,

Sirius's grandfather, Phineas Black, leaned on the frame and looked at him with interest, "Can you talk to the Dementors?" ”

Despite his questioning, his tone was unusually affirmative, "This is an amazing ability, even if you are imprisoned in Azkaban in the future, you can use this ability to escape...... Or even directly grasp that wizarding prison. ”

"So, you're much more dangerous than the one named Voldemort."

"Phineas!" The witch who had spoken earlier glanced at him, "You should trust Albus, he's the headmaster now." ”

"Tsk, trust Dumbledore." Phineas pouted, "His students are much more dangerous than when I was headmaster, and Hogwarts is almost the cradle of the Dark Lord." ”

"Phineas, if you say that again......" the witch rolled up her sleeves, "I don't mind making you suffer." ”

"What do you want to do?" Phineas immediately shut up, "I'm also doing this for the good of Hogwarts, I warn you not to mess around, it hurts to hit people!" ”

"Headmaster Black." Kyle interrupted them with a voice, "Can you please keep this matter a secret for me?" ”

"Huh?" Phineas rubbed his ears as if he hadn't heard anything, dodging the witch's fist and running away.

Kyle sighs and goes to the wall, where he finds the portrait with Phineas' name written on it.

"Fawkes, I've got ten pots of mandrakes, can you help me burn this ugly portrait?"

Fawkes immediately looked up and slammed his mouth.

"I know this is the Headmaster's Office, but isn't Professor Dumbledore here now? When the time comes, can you just say that the Dementors are trying to attack me?

"So I'll make twenty pots of mandrake, and ......."

"Boy, what do you want to do!"

At this time, Phineas, who had already run away, didn't know when he came back, and glared at Kyle in disbelief, "This is the Headmaster's Office. ”

"I know, but I can't help it, who let you discover my biggest secret." Kyle shook his head, "I'm sorry, Professor Black. ”

"Don't, don't, there's something to discuss." Phineas waved his hand repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone, after all, I have also been the principal, and it is also my duty to protect the secrets of my students." ”

"Hmm...... Still not insured. Kyle thought for a moment before shaking his head.

Fawkes also cooperated with his claws and snapped them onto the portrait.

"Don't, don't, you believe me......" Phineas really panicked, "my great-grandson has a good relationship with you, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe him."

"And don't just look at it, come and help persuade me." He turned his head and yelled at the portrait next to him: "My portrait has been destroyed, and you will definitely not be able to escape, what are you doing stupidly, hurry up and beg him together......"

"Shut up, you idiot, the portrait and the castle are one!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked to the side and lay on the ground with a chirp.

Then, as if a switch had been triggered, a crowd of people suddenly swarmed from all directions, punching and kicking him, as if he had rehearsed countless times in advance.

"Don't get me wrong, kid." The wizard who kicked the man straightened his clothes and said solemnly, "We have been quite normal for all of us, but Phineas is an exception, and his IQ doesn't speak for everyone. ”

"The most unpopular headmaster, I know." Kyle said with a smile.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "You can rest assured, we can't reveal everything that happens here, in fact, Fox's reaction is enough to explain everything, Phoenix will not be close to people with dark hearts." ”

"It's okay, of course I do."

Kyle said, "But I have a question, can the portraits here be destroyed so easily?" I always thought I wouldn't be able to use a fire spell. ”

"If you can destroy the whole castle, you can." The man said.

"So Phoenix can easily do it?"

"Neither can Phoenix, unless it's the current headmaster."

"Then why was Principal Black so worried?"

"Obviously, the idiot forgot...... Okay, you go about your business, I'll go and get moving. ”

With that, he joined the fray and kicked Phineas in the face.

"Vomit...... Damn, you haven't washed your feet in hundreds of years. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, have you ever seen a portrait of someone washing his feet?"

The headmaster's room instantly became lively, and Phineas screams could be heard everywhere.

"Oh, it's so hilarious."

Kyle turned around just in time to see Dumbledore walking in from the outside.

"What's wrong with them?"

"I said I wanted to move." Kyle said.

"What about Phineas?"

"Hmm...... I guess it's the organizer of this event. ”

"Then he's really generous." Dumbledore said, "How's it going, is there a result?" ”

"At least sixty Dementors have mutinied." Kyle said, "It could be more, what are you going to do, Professor." ”

"When this dangerous creature is unrestrained, it's better to solve it as soon as possible." Dumbledore said with a blank face, he beckoned, and Fawkes flew over immediately.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Just a few words, it's nothing." Kyle glanced at the Dementor who had been trembling since Dumbledore came in, "Professor, what does it do ......with it?"

"Let the striker bring it back to the Ministry of Magic, of course." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "They shouldn't be outside of Azkaban. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too." Kyle muttered quietly.
