Chapter 146 [Patronus Charm and Wizengamot]
The fog in the carriage was like a sea of clouds.
Spread out layer by layer around Roque.
The Dementor in the black cloak suddenly withdrew its hand that had been reaching out to Harry, and its hands began to clutch the cloak, its head bobbing up and down in pain, as if it were about to let out a sharp howl.
But its body disintegrated more quickly, and the dementor was swamped with black smoke under the silver mist, and it was completely gone in the blink of an eye.
This is a sight that Lupin has never seen before, and the Dementors have a moment to be destroyed?
Roque's Patronus was a little more than he had imagined, but Lupin didn't bother to praise Roque's strength now, and immediately went to check on Harry's situation.
He hurriedly stepped forward to help Harry, his brother had left such a child before he died, and if Harry had an accident in front of him, then Lupin really didn't know what to do.
'It's okay, it doesn't seem to be a big deal...... Lupin breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily Roque made a good enough move, Harry estimated that he would wake up soon, and if he really let the Dementors suck the pleasure, I'm afraid Harry would have fainted until he missed the school dinner.
Lupin placed Harry in his chair and asked Hermione to look after Harry, before he stood up and glanced inadvertently at the table.
On the table in the carriage were snacks bought by Ron and Harry, and in the middle were several wizard cards of chocolate frogs, and the characters on the cards were "Invincible Andros", which was said to summon a patronus the size of a giant.
Lupin also collected such cards when he was in school.
"That's amazing......" Lupin stared at the Chocolate Frog card.
Patronus is usually not judged by its size, but rather has a lot to do with the caster's abilities.
There is a story in Lupin's textbook about a wizard named Elius, whose rat patronus has been ridiculed by the villagers for being too small, but when the Dementor army attacks his village, it is Elius' little mouse who saves the village.
But that being said...... But Lupin thinks the uniqueness of the Patronus is telling.
At least Dumbledore's Patronus is the Fantastic Beasts Phoenix.
Lupin breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out his wand, and glanced at Roque reassuringly, before exiting the door of the carriage, which he handed over to Roque to prevent the remaining Dementors from drifting towards the train.
This is a fighting habit left over from the Order of the Phoenix, and if Dumbledore is around, then leave the thorny problems to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore never let them down.
Now, Lupin sees this reassuring power in Roque as well.
He finally understood why the little wizards who were older than Roque would come running to Roque.
Lupin believed that if he was the same age as Roque, he and Jaime and the others would follow Roque's ass like Harry and Hermione.
"Hum~" Lupin passed through the huge teeth that the Patronus had bitten together, as if he had passed through a layer of enchantment, and when his body passed through completely, he made a sound.
This may have been the result of Roque's deliberate control, and his Patronus only worked on the Dementors.
It was only after getting out of the train that Lupin was able to see the full picture of Roque's Patronus.
It was a huge silver wolf, and Lupin felt almost as tall as himself by the eyes alone, and it crawled and bit several carriages in its mouth, and the train was bitten by its waist like a long snake.
But from the experience just from the experience of going through the teeth, Lupin knew that the train was not damaged.
The Auror at the locomotive in the distance also saw the huge silver wolf, or it was difficult for him not to see, and he subconsciously blurted out in surprise: "My God......"
"Merlin, is it Headmaster Dumbledore who has come to our aid?" The Aurors joked, and he asked Lupin happily.
The huge patronus made his nerves, which had been tense, relax at once.
Lupin, however, was a little unhappy, as he had only seen two Aurors in total, and only two Aurors had such a large number of Dementors.
To put it bluntly, in the past, if the Ministry of Magic found any werewolf wizard at work, at least three or more Aurors would arrest the other party.
"Is there no one in the Ministry of Magic?" Lupin spoke with resentment.
The Auror suddenly became speechless.
The Ministry of Magic really doesn't have enough people...... But that's not something he, an Auror, can decide.
Just like the order to call the Dementors this time was given by Fudge, but the Dementors rioted on the way, and so many little wizards had an accident, their parents would definitely not give up on the Ministry of Magic, and it was probably him who was the Auror to blame at that time.
Thinking of this, the Aurors' mood turned bad again.
"Let's get rid of the Dementors first...... Can't make it any worse. The Auror tensed his nerves again, all he could do now was to make a little more amends, and maybe a lighter penalty later.
"It's a bit difficult......"
Lupin watched worriedly at the dementors hovering in the air, and although they were terrified of the giant silver wolf, it was like a cannon beating a mosquito.
Only the area where the giant silver wolf was located was extremely clean, not a single Dementor, but it also caused the group of Dementors to crowd into other carriages in the distance.
Lupin and the two Aurors could only do at best to keep the new Dementors from squeezing into the train, but the Dementors in the carriage could only hope for Roque.
"If only a few more young wizards could use the Patronus Charm......" Lupin frowned.
But he knew that this was unrealistic, the Patronus Charm was a very difficult magic, and the Patronus was also divided into physical and non-corporeal, not to mention summoning an entity Patronus, at this age, just being able to spray silver mist from the tip of the battle was considered an outstanding talent.
As for the likes of Roque, this is outside the specification.
Lupin secretly decided that this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class he was teaching would have some lessons dedicated to teaching young wizards how to practice the Patronus Charm.
"Hold on for now, and leave the rest to Roque." Lupin believed that Roque would have a solution, just as he believed in Dumbledore.
"Roque? Roque Anderson? That Patronus is his? β
The Auror raised an eyebrow in surprise, he had seen the little wizard use a very beautiful apparition when he drove Harry over.
"Hah! I knew Headmaster Dumbledore didn't bother to play that fool with Fudge. The Auror took the opportunity to scold his boss openly: "This looks like he's even more stupid." β
Lupin agreed, but it was clear that this was not the time to reply, and the group of low-IQ Dementors above him were starting to stir again.
SuddenlyβLupin and the two Aurors felt the pressure drop suddenly, and they subconsciously looked back at where the giant wolf was.
The wolves were gone, but there was a pack of wolves, each of them so large that Lupin felt that they were bigger than his own.
"Oh my God...... Summons multiple Patronus at the same time. I'm only going to take the exam soon.. During class, I saw Professor McGonagall use it. The Auror on the side said in disbelief.
Silver wolves ran through the air in the silver mist, constantly biting the Dementors, and some of the silver wolves got into the carriage and eliminated the Dementors in the carriage one by one.
Lupin and the Aurors could even hear the cheers and shouts of the young wizards in the carriage.
"Great! It's Roque! This is Roque's Patron Saint! β
"Finally saved! I'm going to get my father to complain to the Ministry of Magic! β
"Help me, I have one here!"
"I'm even more anxious, Neville has been sucked unconscious by this monster."
There are many senior wizards who have seen Roque's Patronus, after all, Roque used this trick to defeat the four major academies, which is almost his signature move in the academy.
β¦β¦
Perhaps it was the giant silver wolf that scared the dementors hovering in the air, or maybe it was the sudden decline in the number of companions that made the group of mentally retarded Dementors react.
Anyway, the Dementors finally became honest, and the two Aurors breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, they had some scalp tingling.
It stands to reason that these Dementors are all employees of the Ministry of Magic, and this time there are so many missing, it is inevitable that they will be questioned by Fudge when they return......
On the other hand, some of the young wizards were also absorbed by the dementor riot, and one or two even passed out unconscious, which was also a nuisance.
The two Aurors were in a bit of a dilemma, and their heads were big.
"Let's go see how the little wizards are doing......" one of the Aurors sighed.
He now kind of wanted to go to the docks of that Roque Anderson, and he heard that Fudge said that this was the "master of the Order of the Phoenix", and he didn't know if the other party could contact Dumbledore.
At the very least, Dumbledore had to go to Fudge's troubles and let their boss take the blame himself.
The two Aurors and Lupin walked into the train, only to find that the first few carriages were empty!
"What about the students?" The two Aurors were suddenly bloodless with fear.
Lupin had guessed something, and he looked at the frost that had congealed on the window.
The presence of Dementors can trigger fear and negativity in people's hearts, which is the ability of Dementors, and even the surrounding environment can become cold and make people shiver unconsciously.
In this case, the little wizards will definitely subconsciously huddle together.
When it's cold, people gather around the stove, and the stove of this train is undoubtedly ......
"Let's go, the students should be in the cars inside." Lupin continued his way inside with the two Aurors.
Sure enough, as Lupin guessed, the further you walked towards Roque's carriage, the more students there were, and they even preferred to crowd in the hallway to be closer to Roque's side.
"Let's go, we're Aurors!" The two Aurors shouted loudly, squeezing their way through the students.
Finally...... After a lot of hard work, the two Aurors finally arrived in this carriage.
This carriage, which was originally no problem for four or five people, was crowded with a bunch of little wizards at this time. Only Roque was a little idle around him, and it seemed that these little wizards didn't dare to really squeeze towards Roque.
As soon as the two Aurors arrived, they heard Roque inside talking: "Okay, don't squeeze any more. β
The little wizards had just experienced a great calamity and were insecure, and Roque understood, but he just saw that a little wizard took advantage of the crowd and actually took the chocolate frog on his table.
Roque frowned tightly and knocked on the table, centering on the point he struck, and the wood-grain table immediately set off a wave.
Then, this wave swept through the entire carriage, and the compartment of the carriage suddenly began to gradually expand!
Stretch Without a Trace!
The two Aurors' eyes widened.
This is the Hogwarts Express, which was originally made by dozens of wizards, and it is not easy to cast magic on this train.
Thinking of the terrifying patronus just now, the expressions of the two Aurors gradually became respectful.
"Eh!"
The space suddenly became larger, and the few little wizards who were still supporting each other just now accidentally fell directly.
Roque saw clearly now that it was Crabbe next to Malfoy who stole the chocolate frog, and this little fat man really dared to show off.
"Whew!" Malfoy, who had accidentally fallen, got up from the ground, and the increased space made him breathe a sigh of relief.
They were all about to squeeze him to death just now, especially with Crabbe, a little fat man, standing next to him.
Malfoy looked up and saw the two Aurors walking in, as if he remembered something, he immediately raised his head and said to the two Aurors, "You are from the Ministry of Magic, I will tell my father about this incident." β
The two Aurors were about to greet Roque when they were stopped by Malfoy's words.
One of the Aurors didn't want to deal with Malfoy, and just wanted to bypass him and go straight to Roque, who was sitting inside, but the other Auror suddenly had a plan.
He stopped his colleague and said to Malfoy, "The Dementors are on the orders of our Minister Fudge to investigate the fugitive Sirius!" β
"However, in the course of the investigation just now, our colleague Dementor was brutally killed? Do you know what that means? β
As soon as his voice fell, Malfoy was not angry, but happy.
Listening to this Auror, it seems that he is trying to get trouble with Roque, and although it is not a good thing, it is just right for him.
It's also important to make friends, and his performance under the Dementors just now was so bad, if he was Roque, he would definitely not befriend such a self.
But now that Roque is in trouble, if he stands up again at this time to settle the trouble, then this time it can be regarded as helping each other with Roque.
In this way, he Malfoy can also stand proudly in front of Roque, stretch out his hand to the other party gentlemanly, and say: You have power, but I have power.
Just thinking of being able to stand in front of Roque on an equal footing, Malfoy was excited, and he wanted Roque, a wizard who had not left school, to have a good look at his own merits, the power of the so-called Divine Twenty-Eight Clans.
"Ahem!" Malfoy straightened his collar and said to the Aurors, "My father is Lucius Malfoy, and I am a member of the Holy Pureblood family. β
"This time, because of the accident caused by your recklessness, I will tell my father the truth."
When he heard that it was Malfoy, the Aurors' eyes lit up.
He also happened to see that this little boy wanted to pretend to be forced, and when people wanted to pretend to be forced for the sake of face, they were actually the top......
The Auror smiled and patted Malfoy's head, "I said, this order was given by our Minister Fudge, and with our Minister Fudge's iron order here, it is useless for your father himself to come." β
Malfoy frowned, "Our pure-blood family will report this situation to the Wizengamot!" Do you know the Wizengamot? Not even the Minister of Magic! β
With only fifty members and the ability to censor the Ministry of Magic, the Wizengamot is the highest court in the wizarding world.
"It's useless if I say it's useless, I'm Minister Fudge and I'm here to do it all!"
The Auror forced a smile as he put his hand on Malfoy's head and shook the little wizard's head: "Steamed buns? Your Malfoys are not convinced! β
