【HP】I don’t want to fall in love, I just want to mess around

"I've never figured out why the dementors appeared on the court."

In the infirmary at this time, apart from Harry who was lying on the hospital bed, there were only Hermione, Ron and Esther.

Hermione was used to talking to Esther about something she didn't understand, because she felt that Esther could discover something that she herself was unaware of.

The three people present all turned their attention to Esther, who sat calmly on the chair next to her. She saw a card under the fruit basket on the table, and took the card out of curiosity. come out.

"do not!"

Harry quickly stopped her, but it was too late. As soon as the card was pulled out, he started singing in a high-pitched voice.

Esther quickly stuffed the card back under the fruit basket, and the sound stopped.

She looked at Harry sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I thought this was just an ordinary greeting card that others put when sending fruits."

"It's okay." Harry smiled at her.

After the small interlude, Esther got down to business.

"This thing is indeed strange. The Dementors' duty at Hogwarts is to hunt down Sirius Black, but they appear one after another in places they shouldn't. Why do you think it is?"

She did not answer Hermione's question directly, but asked another rhetorical question.

Ron said: "Because Dementors don't look like creatures with brains, so they always cause trouble?"

Harry nodded, thinking what Ron said made sense.

Esther twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Hermione expectantly: "Hermione, why do you think it is?"

Hermione followed Esther's words with some uncertainty: "You mean, do you think the dementors appear on the court just to fulfill their duties?"

Esther snapped her fingers slightly: "That's right! That's what I mean!"

As expected of Hermione, she really knows everything.

In fact, Esther couldn't remember why the dementors appeared on the train and the stadium. She vaguely remembered that it was to hunt down Sirius, but regardless of whether it was true or not, it was normal to attribute the reason for their appearance to Sirius. Worthy of scrutiny.

For Esther, the overall incident was nothing more than working backwards after knowing the answer. Regardless of whether there were deviations in the story line, as long as the ending was right, then what she said was reasonable.

"You mean you thought Sirius was on the pitch yesterday?"

Ron yelled and stood up, then was pulled down by Hermione: "Sit down quietly and listen to what Esther says."

Hermione looked very anxious, and her eyes were still a little swollen. That was after Harry fell from a high altitude yesterday. Her eyes were swollen from crying because of worry, and she has not fully recovered today.

Since Harry was injured yesterday, she and Ron had been here with Harry all day except at night, even putting aside her favorite study, which showed that she really cared about her friends.

Esther said: "I also asked my dad privately that dementors are also considered magical creatures. My dad has a little understanding of dementors. They are not inherently magical creatures. They were created by wizards. Whether they have intelligence and individual differences is currently unknown, but they must have consciousness, which is why they obey the orders of the Ministry of Magic.

However, due to the scarcity of Dementors and the fact that humans will always have various uncomfortable reactions when approaching them, there are very few wizards who study them. Of course, none of this matters.

The important thing is that since the Dementors obeyed the Ministry of Magic's arrangements and stationed in Hogwarts to track down Sirius, most of the time before that, they did not walk around randomly and break into Hogwarts. If they attack everyone, it means that they should be more obedient to the Ministry of Magic's instructions, but why do riots suddenly occur?

The simplest and most reasonable explanation is that they are performing their own tasks. If you think about it, if Sirius Black appeared on the court, wouldn't it make sense for the Dementors to all go out to hunt Sirius? "

The three people present turned pale when they heard Esther say this.

"That does make sense."

Hermione murmured.

Harry had a slightly different view: "But they didn't go after Sirius, but they all came towards me. Could it be that Sirius is hiding in me?"

Esther explained: "That's because the Dementors are not highly organized and disciplined. They just suck people they see and have no goals at all. So when they discovered the traces of Sirius Black and then hunted him down, it was very complicated. It is normal to be constantly attracted to other students and give up on tracking Sirius and instead start persecuting those in front of them."

"Then why did they only chase Harry?" Ron was puzzled: "Since they sucked everyone they saw, and there were so many students on the court at that time, why did they choose to hurt Harry first?"

"Because the more you experience deeper terror and despair, the easier it is to be affected by dementors."

Regarding this issue, Esther simply explained, and then asked Hermione and Ron to look at each other and stop talking about this related topic.

They were afraid to talk about Harry's sadness.

However, Harry was stronger than they thought. He forced a smile: "I see, that's not surprising."

Every time he was affected by a dementor, a woman's voice always came to his mind, and it wasn't until later that he figured out that it was his mother's voice.

People always forget what happened when they were children, but forgetting is not lost, it is just sealed in a corner of memory. The Dementor's Kiss evoked the most helpless and desperate moment in his heart, that was the night when his parents were killed by Voldemort.

Esther was unwilling to say more about this matter, so she continued: "Anyway, let's imagine that first of all, Dementors have no eyes and identify people by smell. So what if Sirius Black is an Animag Si, after he completely transformed into another ordinary animal, his smell also changed, and then he easily escaped from prison under the guard of dementors.

After that, he sneaked into Hogwarts, occasionally changing back to human form along the way, and then being noticed by the dementors, so he attracted the pursuit of the dementors. After discovering the dementors coming, he changed back to his animal form and escaped, so the dementors No wonder he was never caught.

So does this all make sense? "

Esther finished her speculation (actually a spoiler) in one breath, and then looked at Hermione and the others, waiting for their reactions.

"I think what you said makes sense. Does that mean Sirius Black is really around us? This is too scary!"

Ron had begun to tremble, and his eyes were looking around warily, as if Sirius Black would appear and kill him in the next second.

Hermione also had a serious look on her face. She thought carefully about Esther's words: "It does sound flawless, but the problem is that we have no evidence at all to prove that Sirius Black does know Animagus. These scenes about soul-popping It’s strange that there were no animals at all in the riot scenes.”

"No, there is. Harry suddenly turned pale and said: "Black dog! Professor Trelawney said "ominous"! I have encountered black dogs many times! Including yesterday on the Quidditch pitch! "
