Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 174 Spirit World Creatures Dementors

"With a little special magic, I can control the length and flexibility of my hair."

Harley noticed the surprise in the others' eyes and added softly.

"Professor Dumbledore told me that your innate magic is even more special than beings like Disguise Magus.

I didn't believe it at the time. It seemed that I was too ignorant. "

Professor Lupine nodded his head and sighed, and Sirius also subconsciously howled in agreement.

Professor Lupin's attention was quickly diverted by other things, because the Hogwarts Express at this time was not normal.

Regardless of the abnormal stop, the rain on the car windows turned to frost at some point.

It was extremely dark outside the car window, exuding a strange cold air.

There were bursts of exclamations from the little wizard in the distance, as well as inexplicable sounds such as harsh squeaks and loud hisses.

Professor Lupine opened the door of the box and looked towards the corridor, holding the wand tightly in his hand.

Harley moved faster than him, and her left hand was already on the mirror.

Her eyes were flashing with a green light, and the distorted amplification ability of the fallen gloves was quietly activated.

The glass of all the carriages turned into Harley's eyes at this moment, exploring the surrounding scene.

The Hogwarts Express was surrounded at some point, and there were hundreds of disgusting creatures floating in the air outside the carriage.

This group of creatures were covered in gray-black cloaks, and their whole bodies looked like they had been soaked in water.

Their exposed palms were covered with scabs, like pieces of rotten flesh.

But underneath their cloaks are not legs, but black mist.

And around this group of creatures, the air seemed to freeze. Joy, enthusiasm and vitality are disappearing, being sucked away by them, leaving only pain and despair.

"Dementors?" Harley's eyebrows were filled with solemnity.

After receiving Professor Dumbledore's notebook and writing several letters with some masters.

Harry had roughly guessed that there would be Dementors in Hogwarts this semester.

It is only natural, then, that the Dementors would inspect the Hogwarts Express.

Red Gloves wants to search the train and arrest wanted criminals. Who has a legal reason to stop them?

So Harry followed Professor Dumbledore's hint and took time to learn the Patronus Charm every day.

Now Harley can release the formed Patronus.

Of course, even without the Patronus Curse, Harley wasn't that afraid of Dementors.

After all, according to the small amount of content in Professor Dumbledore's notes, this seems to be just a dark creature that absorbs happiness and brings pain and despair.

The name of the witch in sequence five is called the Witch of Pain, and the name of the sequence four is called the Witch of Despair.

In terms of controlling emotions, Harley is confident that she will not be weaker than anyone else.

But what makes Harley feel solemn is not the Dementors themselves, but their origins.

According to Professor Dumbledore's notes, Dementors were first discovered on the island of Azkaban, and only there would be the birth of new Dementors.

The Wizards Council, the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, built a research institute there and tried to study dementors, but failed to study their origins.

The only useful information the Ministry of Magic has researched is that decent wizards can only expel Dementors through the Patronus Charm, and this can only weaken their strength, but cannot completely kill them.

Later, the Ministry of Magic simply turned it into Azkaban Prison to imprison prisoners.

Professor Dumbledore also left two intriguing words in his notes:

When Voldemort was active, he had driven dementors and made them obey his orders and those of ordinary Death Eaters;

Dark wizards cannot use the Patronus Charm. Once used, the wand will backfire and the wand will summon maggots to devour it.

This shows that Dementors must have other weaknesses, but Professor Dumbledore did not write them out.

Now, Harley felt like she had some different information.

She smelled a strange yet familiar scent from the Dementor, a scent from the spirit world.

"Spiritual creatures? No, it is difficult for spiritual creatures to maintain their form in the material world for a long time unless they consume their own power at all times."

Harley closed her eyes, the light in her eyes flashed crazily, and her magic power was consumed rapidly.

"Is that black mist an object? Do they belong to a kind of wonderful semi-spiritual creature form?"

Harley quickly deactivated her powers and ended her vision.

She was now increasingly curious about the existence of dementors.

Harry silently made a plan in his mind: to capture a dementor and study it.

Of course, this is no simple task. Dementors are civil servants of the British Ministry of Magic. Even if one goes missing, it is a property loss to the Ministry of Magic!

Therefore, Harley must make a careful plan before she can put her actions into practice.

At this time, several dementors had already boarded the train and were wandering in the corridor, opening the compartment doors for inspection.

During the inspection process, they did not forget to take a few puffs, allowing themselves to earn some extra money during the task.

The young wizards in the box that had been inspected by the dementors all huddled together, occasionally letting out small sobs.

If the leader hadn't strictly prohibited them from hunting on this train, these lucky few would have wanted to steal a meal and take a bite of the wizard's soul.

Professor Lupine felt a little bitter in his mouth. Of course he knew why the dementors came.

Isn't it just for Sirius Black?

Under normal circumstances, Professor Lupine could have shouted: "None of us is hiding Sirius Black under our robes, please leave."

But the problem is, these are abnormal circumstances. Sirius Black was in the box behind him!

However, seeing that several young wizards who had been in the corridor before returning to the box had collapsed on the ground and almost fainted as the dementors approached, Professor Lupine still took a step forward:

"You have already hurt the little wizard. As the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, I ask you to get out of the car immediately and explain to Professor Dumbledore!"

Professor Lupin's voice carried along the carriage, but it was of no use to the dementors.

Although this group of dementors are not human, their IQs are very low.

But at least they still have biological instincts and can understand commands that are not particularly difficult.

They understand that they can eat big meals every day by following the original "collection of evil thoughts";

And he could barely eat and drink by listening to the orders of the "idiot" who often dangled in front of him;

But that "terrible being" whose feelings are as hot as the sun just wants to kill himself and completely wipe out the entire tribe!

Now that the "collection of evil thoughts" cannot come out, they will naturally choose to carry out the "fool's" orders thoroughly to ensure that they still have food to eat.
