Chapter 24 I'm Not Going Away! (Down)
"Let me tell you the truth, in fact, I ordered the people from the Eye of Danatus to enter the Forbidden Forest..."
"What?" The four deans were all surprised.
Dippet explained: "I told you before that the Marquis of Foley has tried to negotiate with the 'Eye of Danast', and just last week, after negotiation, the 'Eye of Danast' decided to temporarily Revoke the 'Secret Order of Death' against Vijay and the three, and agree to teach us the method of extracting the 'key' from the host.
The group of people three days ago were the emissaries of the Eye of Danatus. They came to inform me of the final result of the negotiation and negotiated the withdrawal of the dementors. As for the method of extracting the 'key' from Tom's body, because it involves confidentiality, they did not give it to me this time, but plan to give it to the Marquis of Foley in the near future."
"Those monsters are finally leaving?!" Slughorn said in surprise, but then he thought about the tragedy that happened today: "It was a good thing at first, but how did it develop into this way!?"
Dippet was also a little distressed at this time, knowing that the matter could not be concealed, he simply said bluntly: "Yes, it was originally a good thing, but it happened that there was a problem with the dementors.
Three days ago, the envoy sent by the 'Eye of Danatus' discussed with me, intending to use our teleportation array to send the dementors to France, and promised to strictly manage the dementors after they go to France, absolutely not Let the dementors attack Muggles.
I finally agreed to their proposal. After negotiating with me, they went to the Forbidden Forest to inform the dementors about the evacuation, but unexpectedly, the dementors rioted collectively. The Eye of Natus' people clash. "
Everyone else present at this moment wondered, what happened to these dementors? Why don't you want to leave?
Did they see the Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts? Are they planning to settle down here?
An absurd picture makes one's imagination run wild. The dementor hovers over the Forbidden Forest, announcing arrogantly: "I'm not leaving! I'm here to make a home!"
Of course, these were all jokes, and everyone just thought about it casually, but the deans also began to speculate about why the dementors refused to leave. Dippet didn't stop them, but just listened carefully.
The four guessed for a while, and finally Raulus seemed to remember something, and said a little unconfidently: "Wait, I have an idea... Could it be because of the missing dementor that the dementor is unwilling to leave?" Dementors? It's been a month now...
Since that dementor disappeared, other dementors have been behaving strangely. During this month, all dementors have been like headless chickens, going crazy in the forbidden forest at every turn, and even rushed out of the forest a few times. In the Forbidden Forest, there was even an attack on the Quidditch pitch once. If Horace hadn't happened to be there, there would probably be quite an accident. "
After hearing what Raulus said, Dippet finally stopped being silent:
—————
"That's right, it's because of the missing dementor! As I told you before, the missing dementor is like the queen of ants, and its position in the dementor group is extremely important. A The dementor disappeared a month ago, and all the dementors seemed to have lost their backbone, so this month was so violent.
It was precisely because the dementor was not found that three days ago, when the dementor heard the evacuation order from the 'Eye of Danatus', it launched a riot.
Based on my guess, the reason why the dementors want to destroy our teleportation array is probably because they don't want to leave here without finding the 'Queen Ant'.
But he didn't dare to disobey the order of the 'Eye of Danatus', so he could only find a way to delay the time. And destroying the teleportation array is the most direct and easiest way they can think of to delay time. "
Katie Selwyn also said a little worried at this time: "Then what should we do now? They don't want to leave and can't let them stay near Hogwarts all the time.
This will not only threaten the safety of the students, but also the safety of the residents of Hogsmeade Village. I heard that there have been three dementor attacks in Hogsmeade Village last month. "
"I've already given those dementors an ultimatum. Give them another week! They must leave after the teleportation array is repaired next Wednesday. If they don't leave, it's tantamount to declaring war on Hogwarts! We don't need to Show mercy!" Dippet said, with a trace of distress still showing on his face:
"However, these monsters should be extremely frantic in the next week. Maybe they will not abide by the previous conditions and break into Hogwarts or Hogsmeade without permission. We need to be careful at all times!"
Dippet's worry is not unreasonable. Judging from the recent actions of these dementors, there is only one week left to search for their own 'ant queen'. With such a tight time, it might really provoke some radical behavior .
Although these dementors have a certain amount of intelligence, they only have a certain amount of intelligence. They cannot think like humans.
More importantly, human beings can't understand them either. After all, human beings don't have a so-called 'ant queen', let alone understand how important the 'ant queen' is to their group.
Dippet looked at the time on his pocket watch, sighed, looked at Dumbledore and said, "Hey...it's so late, I'll go to the Forbidden Forest to check the latest situation later. Tonight I will leave the lessons of the three children to you, Albus. I will leave the lessons to you tomorrow, and I will not have time to teach the three children in the next week."
"It's okay, principal, just leave your class to me." Dumbledore readily accepted the principal's assignment.
Dippet nodded: "Okay, it's almost time, you all go to your own work, Horace, you work overtime tonight to help Mrs. Glotta configure some important healing potions; Katie, your healing magic is very good. Mature, go to the school infirmary to see the injured child more, and let Mrs. Glotta rest for a while;
Raulus, your research on the magic circle is relatively in-depth. Take the time to look at the magic circle on the edge of the Forbidden Forest and try to repair it. The maintenance personnel sent by the Ministry of Magic will not be in place until at least next Monday. You should watch and repair it first, and don’t let the teleportation array burst into space turbulence. It has been an afternoon, and the teleportation array is still bursting out of space turbulence. It's dangerous, go and fix it first.
And Albus, you are responsible for watching those three little guys, I always feel that the disappearance of the dementor 'Queen Ant' has something to do with them... Also, teach them the Patronus Charm, I am always worried about them Dementors will be encountered. "
After assigning the work of the four deans, the four deans also went to work on their own affairs. Watching the four deans leave, Dippet stretched his waist, looked towards the direction of the Forbidden Forest through the window, and sighed. He got up and rushed towards the Forbidden Forest.
