Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 340 The Dementor's Riot
However, soon all the little wizards stopped laughing.

The beans that fell on the ground of the greenhouse bloomed and fruited extremely quickly, grew pods, and then collapsed again...The new beans fell to the ground again, and grew again...In just a dozen seconds, the ground was full of that type of bean plants, and began to tightly wrap around their legs.

"Weasley, what are you doing, be careful!"

Professor Sprout waved his magic wand, and a bamboo-like shower spouted out from the ground, spraying out an unpleasant smell (like a scallion-like liquid), and soon, these fast-growing plants withered.

The professor hurried to poor Neville and took out the pod that had grown a small vine and roots.

"Be careful, as you all know, this is a renovated greenhouse. All the soil here is taken from the most central soil layer in the Romanian Dragon Breeding Reserve. It is rich in magic substances and can promote the growth of magic plants faster than before."

"And these pods, although they don't grow to tens of feet overnight like their original ancestor 'magic pods', can grow very quickly... Be careful, especially you, Weasley!"

Professor Sprout reprimanded Ron with a very stern expression.

Since Ron's series of [Rafflesia incidents] last semester, in the eyes of Professor Sprout, he has obviously become a key object of prevention.

……

Harry's premonition that Professor McGonagall didn't want him to go to Hogsmeade...was true.

In fact, on Halloween morning, he could feel that things were not going well.

Early in the morning, while they were still lying in bed, the omens began.

I don't know what's going on at first...

Hermione's big orange cat, Crookshanks, slipped into the boys' dormitory, trying to sneak up on Scabbers, the big mouse that was sleeping on Ron's pillow.

(Since the beginning of this term, Scabbers the mouse, also known as Peter Pettigrew, has been sleeping next to Ron's pillow and can't be driven away, so Ron just hugs this guy and sleeps with him.

After McGuffin saw this situation, he tried to persuade him a few words, but he couldn't tell the truth, which made his persuasion very weak, so he had to let Ron do it.Anyway, it doesn't seem to be harmful, but I just hope that Ron will not leave any psychological shadow after knowing the truth in the future. )
anyway.

McGuffin was awakened by Ron's terrified roar. (The same goes for everyone in the other dormitories)
"Wow! What the hell!"

It's no wonder that when anyone sleeps soundly.

I suddenly felt that my face was fluffy, and my head felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy stone. When I opened my eyes, I suddenly found an orange monster with a big cake face occupying all my sights, and I would be shocked.

This made Ron very angry.

He carried a pillow, barefoot, and ran around chasing Crookshanks all over the dormitory.

Running out of the dormitory, a large group of little wizards in pajamas watching the excitement were startled... and even almost chased after the girls' dormitory. It was Percy who saw this scene and hurriedly stopped Ron, who was already mad.

This incident itself made Ron and Hermione, who had been looking forward to going to Hogsmeade Village, suddenly lose their good mood.

The two of them were so angry with each other that they hardly said a word.

Although Harry tried his best to make several people get together.

But Hermione couldn't understand Ron's fuss about a cat catching a mouse....

Ron, on the other hand, had hated the fact that Hermione had bought the damn cat from the very beginning.Angry at Hermione for not taking it seriously.

Especially after making him a big fool this morning, Crookshanks made his teeth itch with hatred.

Not even Lavender Brown, as Professor Trelawney had prophesied, had the unfortunate and frightening thing happening around her when one of her bunnies was eaten by a fox, which did not distract the two. (She just got this letter today, because of the dementors, all the little wizard's owl letters are delayed)
It wasn't until they left the gate of Hogwarts Castle that Professor McGonagall's sudden visit interrupted the cold war between Hermione and Ron.

As soon as Professor McGonagall opened his mouth, Harry had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

What McGuffin didn't expect was that this would implicate himself.

"Albert, Potter!"

Her tone was very heavy.

"I'm afraid you two won't be able to go to Hogsmeade!" Professor McGonagall said directly.

Harry's first reaction was to look at McGuffin, his good friend, and an idea immediately popped up in his mind.

——Is it exposed?Was it exposed that McGuffin forged Dursley's signature on the application form?

But obviously that's not the case,
Then Professor McGonagall hesitated a little, as if he didn't know how to speak.

At this time, the screams of the little wizards came from outside.

Many of them even trembled and crawled in, making a mess.

Moreover, the screams of Professor Flitwick, who was taking care of the little wizard outside, could be heard.

"roll!"

"Go away! Dementors... you are breaking the agreement between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts!"

The yelling immediately changed Professor McGonagall's face, and she couldn't care less about talking to McGuffin and Harry.

She hurriedly organized the team, asked the little wizards to call other professors, and evacuated the little wizards who were still blocking the door to the auditorium.

He rushed out against the current.

After MacGuffin and Harry looked at each other, they hurriedly raised their heads, carefully avoiding the little wizards rushing in from outside, and stood at the gate of Hogwarts, looking into the distance.

Looking far away, the sky is black and oppressive.

Dementors whizzed and circled over the Black Lake, making disturbing howls.

Like vultures, they swooped down and flew over the heads of the little wizards.

Thick fog began to sweep over from all directions, especially around the direction of the Black Lake.

There was a burst of coldness, and even standing at the gate of the castle, McGuffin could feel the trembling sensation brought by the dementors in the distance.

The silver-white light from Professor Flitwick's wand dispelled these soul-stirring and frightening monsters.

The seniors also defended alongside him.

Professor McGonagall rushed over, and she swung her wand to repel the dementors again and again, so that those little wizards who used their hands and feet hurried back to the castle.

When the McGuffins watched the dementors, they seemed to feel something and stopped immediately, floating in mid-air.

They turned around and began to stare in the direction of the castle gate, then screamed fiercely, and rushed towards them like a herd of mad cows.

"McGuffin, Harry! Come on, go back!"

Professor McGonagall turned around and found that the Gryffindor boys did not obey his orders and returned to the auditorium.

Instead, he stood near the gate to join in the fun as if he was dying.

Fortunately, in the past two months, McGuffin and Harry's ability has indeed been improved after training with [Occlumency] and [Patronus Charm]. They did not pass out, nor did they directly burst into black magic flames, and rushed directly to the dementor.

Several people hurriedly dragged the other little wizards in front of them back to the castle.

When the dementors rushed over, McGuffin and Harry used their wands to emit a faint silver-white light to try to prevent the dementors from approaching, and helped the little wizards rush back to the castle.

At this time, the other professors finally rushed over together.

After that, under the efforts of all the professors, especially the anger of Professor Dumbledore who came behind, the dementors retreated to the outside of the Hogwarts Castle grounds.

The frightened little wizards crowded together, discussing the incident in the auditorium.

There was so much noise that the ceiling was almost toppled over.

The ghosts came and went, patrolling the corridors and the castle to see if there were no dementors, Sirius, or other people from outside the school taking advantage of the chaos.

Only then did McGuffin remember that in the original plot, Sirius used this opportunity to sneak into Gryffindor's third-year boys' dormitory on Halloween, looking for Scabbers, the pettigrew Peter.

MD!Wouldn't the original plot be changed again?

Just when McGuffin was distressed by this.

"My God!"

Hermione grabbed the back of Harry's hand, she screamed in a low voice, as if remembering something, and then pulled them into a corner in the middle of the auditorium.

After dealing with the twins who kept talking about how they dealt with a dementor, they were the only four of them left.

Hermione could finally whisper, looked at Harry and McGuffin suspiciously and said, "Why do I feel that the dementors seem to be coming for you two, and Professor McGonagall, why does she want to prevent you two from going to Hogsmeade village. Isn't it?"

"No? Don't talk nonsense!"

McGuffin shook his head again and again, and Harry nodded nervously, standing by his side.

In this situation, if the expectant third-year wizards knew that it was the two of them who messed up their chance to go to Hogsmeade today.They will definitely swallow it alive.

"No, I saw it too. When those dementors saw us going out, they rushed over as if they were going crazy... I understand. It must be that you killed one of them, McGuffin, and these guys knew about it, so they came to trouble you."

Ron is very clever, and Hermione and Hermione didn't lose their temper, and they understood everything immediately, and they immediately reacted.

"Stop talking, do you want everyone to know?"

"No one heard it!"

McGuffin looked around very nervously.

"Hee hee! No one, but I heard it!"

said a hoarse voice.

Shir!
— Peeves.

It got its head out from under the McGuffins, and it seemed that it originally wanted to scare the frightened little wizards and join in the fun.

Didn't expect to hear such a big revelation.

"It's over!" said the MacGuffin.

"That's right!" Peeves exclaimed happily.

He jumped on top of the crowd, turned somersaults, and floated back and forth looking down at the students in the auditorium, his face full of excitement.

The guy opened his mouth, and with a smirk on his face, he sang to the little wizards watching him:

Oh, Potter, McGuffin, you two bad guys.

Killing a dementor, I think it's funny,
It's bad luck for other students, bad luck,
Dementors swarm like mad, swarm,

The little wizards were pissed off, pissed off.

……

The thoughtless Sir Nick was really furious. He brought several other ghosts to catch Peeves, but this mischievous little ghost, like a leaky balloon, quickly hovered over the auditorium and sang the song he had composed five or six times over and over again.

Enough for everyone present to hear, and turned around to find McGuffin and Harry who were hiding in the corner.

The crowd began to quiet down.

As if the temperature was gradually cooling down, the sound of the entire auditorium disappeared bit by bit.

Only Peeves' 'Dementor Song' and Sir Nick's distraught voice resounded overhead.

In the end, Sir Nick was even furious because he couldn't catch up with Peeves, and he wanted to pull his head off...to smash it.

Obviously because the three-inch flesh-and-skin connection was unsuccessful, it frightened some first-year little wizards.

The little wizards surrounded several people twenty feet away from the McGuffins, and the last person even stood on tiptoe.

(They looked at the MacGuffins hiding in the corner... as if they were looking at a lion and crocodile in a cage, curious but afraid to go forward... their eyes were full of excitement and wariness, full of traditional Hogwarts arts)
Now it's not just McGuffin's heart, even Harry, Ron, and Hermione realize that their reputation at Hogwarts is about to be played!
Everyone stared at the MacGuffin in silence, except for the occasional murmur or two.

"What happened?" In the crowd, Ginny and Luna asked Harry's little fan, Colin.

Percy's smug and triumphant voice, "Please let me go, please let me go and figure it out... There must be some misunderstanding, it's my brother and his friend—sorry, I'm the head boy—"

And DeLS Malfoy's gloating voice, "I've known, since that night... I've known... I was the first to say that that crazy Muggle wizard killed a dementor, and Dumbledore's professors covered up the truth for that madman..."

The depressive silence continued for a while, and the little wizards could no longer suppress their curiosity, and began to get restless.

When they were about to march towards the McGuffins who were huddled in the corner like a few quails.

The professors Dumbledore finally arrived.

It looked like they had taken care of the confusion caused by the dementors outside.

——The strange thick fog outside the window had dissipated, and the terrifying figure in black robe was no longer in the scene outside that appeared on the ceiling.

They were discussing how to deal with this incident in the aisle.

But what didn't make the professors realize was that today's auditorium was not as noisy and noisy as usual.

They started arguing loudly from outside the door, and their voices were clearly heard by the little wizards.

"Professor McGonagall, did the dementors rush into Hogwarts because they found traces of Sirius..." This was Professor Flitwick's shrill voice.

"Professor Flitwick, I don't trust these monsters. I'm afraid they want to come and absorb the joyful memories of the little wizards during the festival...We can't allow these monsters to garrison Hogwarts anymore! Professor Dumbledore!"

"Also, Albus, is this incident the Dementor's revenge on the MacGuffin for what he did at the beginning of school... How can the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic tell the monsters directly?"

Professor McGonagall's dissatisfied complaints came from outside.

"Minerva, I'm afraid..."

When Professor Dumbledore entered the auditorium,

Only then did the professors realize that their voices had been heard by the little wizards, and they immediately stopped the argument.

Seeing the little wizard with hundreds of shining eyes, flushed face, and turning his head to stare at him, even an old fox like Dumbledore felt a little overwhelmed.
