Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1246 First time

   "Are you sure this is the experience Albert said?"

  Kenneth held up the night vision goggles with trembling hands, looking at the army of dementors and ghouls pouring into Hogwarts from the blasted iron gate, the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly.

  If it wasn't for the fact that there was a large group of Defense Association companions around, he would have turned around and left.

  No way, that is the enemy they can barely see clearly on the surface. God knows how many Death Eaters or dark wizards are secretly manipulating this group of ghosts to attack Hogwarts.

   This posture does not look like it is trying to attract the attention of the Hogwarts professors from the front. Kenneth thinks that "no risk" in Albert's mouth should be redefined.

   "Don't be surprised." George calmed everyone's emotions. "Infernal corpses are afraid of light and fire. As long as you study Defense Against the Dark Arts seriously, you don't have to be afraid of these **** things at all."

"There is no need to be afraid of the dementor army. We have practiced the Patronus Charm for so long, and now we finally have dementors that allow us to test the effect of the Patronus Charm." George's words quickly made the anxious team Quiet again.

   "You seem to have forgotten." Fred glanced at Kenneth and joked with a smile, "Someone seems to have failed to summon the Patronus of the flesh."

  Kenneth's cheeks were flushed, who made him someone?

   It's a strange thing to say, except for Kenneth and another unlucky guy, the members who joined the Defense Association basically successfully summoned their own physical patron saints.

  If the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic knew about this, they would probably have to shed tears of humiliation.

   "Stop arguing, those dark creatures have broken into the school and are coming towards us." Cedric reminded. Even though he was a Hufflepuff student and knew that it would take a lot of risk to come here to experience tonight, Cedric still felt his blood boil at this moment.

   Not only him, but the dozen or so members of the Defense Association who participated in this experience were all a little excited, holding their wands tightly with both hands, wishing to immediately summon the patron saint to expel the dementors and burn the corpses with flames.

  Unfortunately, their enemies are not only these dark creatures, but also the Death Eaters and their dark wizard minions hidden behind.

  That is the enemy that everyone needs to guard against the most.

"We'd better not act on our own, follow Albert's suggestion, and wait for the professors from Hogwarts to come to help. At that time, our task is to help the professors solve this group of dementors and ghost corpses. If we are in trouble, we will Don't mess around, you can retreat into the castle to resist. We are only here to experience and accumulate experience, not to die." Shanna reminded kindly. Albert had specifically told her to prevent these guys from suddenly running out to give away their heads.

   "We are not idiots, we won't foolishly run to die." Angelina's words were quickly recognized by others.

   "Look over there, it seems that there is really an idiot rushing up." Suddenly someone whispered.

   "Looks like Hagrid!"

  George took the night vision goggles from Kenneth and looked in the direction of the black shadow, his face twitching uncontrollably.

   Probably alarmed by the explosion just now, after Hagrid and Fang came out of the hunting lodge, they walked quickly towards the sound.

   "Is Hagrid crazy? We'd better stop him as soon as possible."

"I remember bringing a broomstick here. You guys are here to cover me. If the dementors try to sneak attack us, remember to summon the patron saint in advance, so as not to be affected by the dementors and not be able to summon the patron saint." George stepped forward Passing the broom, reminded again: "You only have one life, don't die."

   As he said that, George rode his broom and flew towards Hagrid. He didn't know how Hagrid was so brave, he dared to charge the Infernal Corpse and the Dementor head-on.

   Is this fatal?

   "Hagrid, do you want to kill me?"

  George flew low on a broomstick and almost let Hagrid shoot him with a crossbow. Fortunately, he reacted in time to avoid dying at the hands of his own people.

   "Why are you here!"

  After seeing George's appearance clearly, Hagrid asked in surprise, "I just thought..."

"Albert said that a big event is going to happen at Hogwarts tonight, so we're here...to defend Hogwarts, and test the latest training level by the way." George explained vaguely, "You'd better not rush over foolishly , otherwise, once you are surrounded by the army of dementors and ghouls, you will die."

   "Dementors and an army of Inferi?" Hagrid was a little confused.

   "Anyway, come with me. If you are rushing forward, we may have to collect the body for you tomorrow." George turned his broom and flew back.

   "Ah, is Albert here too?"

  Hearing Albert's name, Hagrid couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we do now?"

  He didn't have night vision goggles, so he couldn't see clearly the army of ghouls pouring into the school from the gap in the dark night, but he could already feel the chill emanating from the dementors.

  The group of monsters have already spotted the two of them, and they are coming here in groups.

"Don't let the army of infernal corpses break into the castle until the professors come to solve the trouble. As for the dementors, we have a way to deal with them." George turned back and urged: "Quick Hagrid, don't be dazed, those scums are starting to throw demons again cursed.

   Another batch of fireballs fell from the sky and landed in front of the corpse, making a loud explosion.

  The group of damned Death Eaters are still deliberately bombing Hogwarts, trying to make a bigger noise in order to attract the attention of the entire school and provide cover for the Death Eaters' assassination and retreat.

   "Run, there are dementors coming."

  Hagrid reached out and picked up the Fang at his feet, carried it on his shoulder, and started to run quickly.

  George couldn't help shivering. Knowing that the dementors were approaching, he was about to raise his wand to summon the Patronus, but the tip of the wand only lit up with a white light, and it didn't condense into a physical Patronus. George was hit hard.

Just as the dementors were rushing towards the two, reinforcements from the rear arrived in time, and several Patronus and the two passed by, flying directly towards the army of dementors, approaching Hagrid and George's dementor army. The ghosts were dispelled.

   The dementors did not break up because of this, instead they bypassed the patron saints and rushed towards Fred and his group, intending to directly deal with the wizards who summoned the patron saints.

   As for lazy water skiing like before, Dementors can't do that now.

  He had received so many benefits from the Death Eaters and sucked so many Muggle souls away. If he was still as vulnerable as before, it might be difficult to get such treatment again.

   Facing the dementors encircling from both sides, Cedric was not nervous at all. After he manipulated his patron saint to protect everyone, he asked others to continue to summon the patron saint to expel the dementors encircling from both sides.

  They are already prepared!

   When more Patronuses flew out from the tip of their wands, the Dementors were immediately confused. They probably did not expect to meet so many wizards who knew how to use the Patronus Charm.

   Facing a large group of patron saints, the dementors had no way to get close.

   "How did you sneak into Hogwarts?"

  Hagrid panted and lowered his teeth, staring at the group of people standing here with wide eyes in disbelief.

"There's a tunnel under the Whooping Willow leading to the outside, where did we get in from?" Seeing that Hagrid didn't do anything stupid, Fred also heaved a sigh of relief, "Start to retreat, those ghouls are coming, And beware of sneak attacks from dementors."

   "We need to get a fire belt to delay the speed of the corpse."

  Cedric didn't forget Albert's words. Infernal corpses are actually nothing to be afraid of. As long as you know their weaknesses of fear of fire and light, and prevent them from jumping on you, they are the best targets for practicing spells.

  Although everyone can use the Ignition Curse, not everyone can use Albert's burning effect.

  Cedric took a few friends who used the fire spell more quickly, and used the spell to temporarily ignite a small area, creating a fire belt to slow down the speed of the corpse so that they could retreat calmly.

   After all, you have to guard against the sneak attack of the dementors.

   I don't know the reason, but the group of dementors were more stubborn than everyone imagined. After being defeated by the patron saint, they actually gathered again and again.

  This is not good news. Once the dementors get too close, it is likely that some members of the Defense Association who are not firm in consciousness will lose their combat effectiveness.

  If the team falls into chaos and fear spreads among the crowd, they are likely to lose the courage to confront these dark creatures head-on in a short time.

  Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes swept across the group, and he couldn't help asking, "Where are the Alberts?"

   "He said there are other things. Don't worry, Albert is definitely safer than our side." Shanna comforted, she was letting the Patronus fly around the team, dispelling the despair and coldness emanating from the dementors.

   "No, I'm worried about you." Hagrid sighed heavily, but he couldn't help but feel relieved to see the team moving in an orderly manner. At least they looked well-trained.

   When the team successfully retreated to the entrance of the castle, Hagrid immediately raised his fist and slammed on the oak door, but there was no response from inside.

   "Don't knock on Hagrid. After a while, some professors should come over." George stopped Hagrid from making any noise.

   "Besides, Filch is a squib, but he can't use magic. It's not easy for him to open this door." Fred added.

  In fact, Filch had been awakened by the previous explosion, and he was indeed on the other side of the door now, looking nervously at the slightly trembling oak door with a mop stick in his hand.

   "Mr. Filch, what are you doing?"

  Professor Sprout came here with other professors.

   "Looks like something happened, I heard an explosion," Filch said stumblingly, "It seems someone is outside, I heard a big man... I mean Hagrid's voice."

"I know that there are Death Eaters trying to attack Hogwarts." Professor Sprout raised his wand and waved lightly, the chains and bolts used to seal the door were put away one by one, and the oak door slowly opened .

   "Mr. Diggory, Mr. Truman, why are you here?"

  Professor Sprout was taken aback when he saw a bunch of familiar faces outside, unable to understand why they were here now.

   "Albert said that Hogwarts needs help, so we came here." Cedric naturally wouldn't say that they came to experience mixed combat experience, so he repeated the rhetoric just now.

  Looking at the patron saints who drove the large group of dementors away, Professor Sprout swallowed back what he wanted to say.

   "Be careful, those dark wizards have come in, there are twelve, thirteen, not seventeen!" Truman screamed and reminded.

  The professors looked at Truman in puzzlement, not knowing how Truman knew the exact number of Death Eaters.

   After all, it was pitch black outside, and there was an army of ghouls covering it, so it was impossible to judge the number of black wizards.

   "Humanity Curse." Fred quickly explained.

   "Here we come, defense!"

  I don’t know who shouted. The people who were asking the patron saint to drive out the dementors all raised their wands above their heads, and a translucent defensive barrier formed in front of them, enveloping everyone in it.

   Except for a few members who were responsible for expelling the dementors, everyone else raised their wands and injected magic power into the defensive barrier in front of them.

  The exploding spell fell like a cannonball, and the explosions sounded one after another, but the group of people hiding behind the turtle shell were safe and sound, because the group of black wizards just bombed randomly and didn't target them at all.

   Everyone glared at Lee Jordan who had just shouted, and couldn't help complaining, "Don't bring such a scary one!"

   "Ahem, I'm just testing your reactions." Lee Jordan quibbled, "Maybe a spell has fallen on our heads."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a fireball actually fell on the magic barrier, which shocked everyone.

   "Shut your stinky mouth." Everyone glared at Lee Jordan.

   "The dementors are at it again," reminds Lee Jordan

  After removing the barrier, Fred shouted, "Drive them away."

  Then, the professors watched as the group of people summoned their respective patron saints to disperse the dementors that converged into a black torrent.

  They exchanged glances with each other and raised their wands to join the battle. Basically, they would not be too bad to be the wizard of the Hogwarts professor.

  With the addition of the professors, everyone's confidence increased greatly. After driving away the dementors, others also used blazing fire to deal with those infernal corpses.

   "It stinks, can you not burn it with fire." Someone complained, covering his nose.

   "I'm more curious, where did they get so many infernal corpses." The person who said this was completely unaware of the weight of this question.

   "Those guys probably destroyed a nearby village and turned all Muggles there into ghosts!" Kenneth sneered.

   "The **** scum, they should all be hanged."

"It's not a big chance. Those guys don't leave the gate too far. I suspect they let the Infernal Corpse and the Dementor rush to the front, while they hide behind and make noise just as bait." Truman suddenly understood Albert Why do you say that the danger is not great.

  If it's just dementors and ghost corpses, it's really not a big threat to a group of people who have already prepared for it.

   "I hope Albert can outflank them from behind and overthrow them." Angelina shot a flame from the tip of her wand to ignite the corpse in front of her.

   "He will do that, as long as Albert has time." Fred shouted to the others: "Don't divide too much, be careful of the dementor's sneak attack.

  This group of dementors don't know what's going on, no matter how they use the patron saint to drive them away, they can't completely get rid of their harassment.

"Expel these dementors first, don't let them run around in the castle, those ghost corpses can be dealt with after Dumbledore's settlement." Dedalus Diggle sent a dementor trying to break into the castle. Get out again.

   Compared with the corpses everywhere, dementors are more harmful and more difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the number of people who were good at the Patronus Charm, they would surely be in big trouble.
