Chapter 147 [Patronus Charm and Wizengamot]

The fog in the carriage was like a sea of ​​clouds.

It dispersed around Rock.

The Dementor in a black cloak suddenly retracted the hand that was originally stretched out to Harry. Its hands began to tightly grasp the cloak, and its head shook up and down in pain, as if it was about to let out a sharp howl.

But its body collapsed even faster. Under the flushing of the silver mist, black smoke sizzled out of the Dementor's body, and it disappeared completely in just a blink of an eye.

This was a scene that Lupin had never seen before. Dementors actually had a moment of being destroyed?

Rock's patronus was a little beyond his imagination, but Lupin didn't care to praise Rock's strength now, but immediately went to check on Harry's situation.

He hurried forward to support Harry. His brother left behind such a child before his death. If Harry had an accident in front of him, Lupin really didn't know what to do.

‘Fortunately, it seems nothing serious…’ Lupin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Rock acted in time. Harry would probably wake up soon. If the Dementors really sucked the happiness, Harry would probably be dizzy until he missed the dinner at the beginning of the school year.

Lupin put Harry on the seat and asked Hermione to help take care of Harry. Then he stood up and glanced at the table inadvertently.

There were snacks bought by Ron and Harry on the table in the carriage, and a few chocolate frog wizard cards in the middle. The character on the card was “Andros the Invincible”, who was said to be able to summon a giant-sized patronus.

Lupin also collected such cards when he was in school.

“Amazing…” Lupin stared at the chocolate frog card.

The power of a patronus is usually not determined by size, but has a lot to do with the ability of the caster.

There was such a story in the textbook that Lupin was studying at that time - there was a wizard named Elius, whose mouse patronus was always laughed at by the villagers because of its small size. However, when the army of Dementors attacked his village, it was Elius's little mouse that saved the whole village.

But although that's what he said... Lupin thought that the uniqueness of the patronus could still explain something.

At least Dumbledore's patronus was the magical animal Phoenix.

Lupin took a breath, took out his wand, looked at Rock with relief, and then went out of the door of the carriage. He left the carriage to Rock, and he had to prevent the remaining Dementors from floating towards the train.

This was a fighting habit left in the Order of the Phoenix. If Dumbledore was there, he would leave the difficult problems to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore never let them down.

Now, Lupin also saw this reassuring power in Rock.

He finally understood why those little wizards who were older than Rock would run to Rock happily.

Lupin believed that if he were the same age as Rock, he and James would probably follow Rock like Harry and Hermione.

"Buzz~" Lupin passed through the huge teeth of the Patronus, as if he had passed through a barrier, and made a sound when his body passed through it completely.

This may be the result of Rock's deliberate control. His Patronus only works on Dementors.

After getting out of the train, Lupin was able to see the full appearance of Rock's Patronus.

It was a huge silver wolf. Just from its eyes, Lupin felt that it was almost as tall as himself. It crawled and bit several carriages in its mouth. The train was bitten in half by it like a long snake.

But from the experience of just passing through the teeth, Lupin knew that the train was not damaged.

The Auror on the locomotive in the distance also saw the huge silver wolf, or it was difficult for him not to see it. He subconsciously blurted out in surprise: "Oh my God..."

"Merlin, is it Headmaster Dumbledore who came to support us?" The Auror joked and asked Lupin happily.

This huge Patronus relaxed his originally tense nerves.

But Lupin was a little unhappy, because he only saw two Aurors in total, and there were only two Aurors to control such a large number of Dementors.

To put it bluntly, if the Ministry of Magic found any werewolf wizards in the past, at least three Aurors would arrest them.

"Is there no one in the Ministry of Magic?" Lupin said with resentment.

The Auror was speechless.

The Ministry of Magic is indeed short of manpower... But this is not something that he, an Auror, can decide.

Just like this time, it was Fudge who ordered the Dementors to be deployed, but the Dementors rioted on the road. If so many little wizards got into trouble, their parents would definitely not let the Ministry of Magic off. At that time, it was probably him, the Auror, who would be blamed.

Thinking of this, the Auror's mood became worse again.

"Let's drive the Dementors away first... We can't make things worse." The Auror was nervous again. All he could do now was to make amends a little, maybe he could get a lighter punishment later.

"It's a bit difficult..."

Lupin looked at the Dementors circling in the air with concern. Although these Dementors were very afraid of the giant silver wolf, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Only the area where the giant silver wolf was located was extremely clean, without a single Dementor, but this also made the group of Dementors squeeze into other carriages in the distance.

Lupin and the two Aurors could only prevent new Dementors from squeezing into the train at most, but the Dementors in the carriage could only hope for Rock.

"If only there were a few more little wizards who could use the Patronus Charm..." Lupin frowned.

But he knew it was unrealistic. The Patronus Charm was a very difficult magic, and the Patronus could be divided into physical and non-physical. Not to mention summoning a physical Patronus, being able to spray silver mist from the tip of the staff at this age was considered an outstanding talent.

As for someone like Rock, this was beyond the standard.

Lupin secretly made up his mind that he must take out some classes from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class he taught this year to teach the young wizards how to practice the Patronus Charm.

"Hold on for now, and leave the rest to Rock." Lupin believed that Rock would have a way to solve it, just like he believed in Dumbledore.

"Rock? Rock Anderson? Is that his Patronus?"

The Auror raised his eyebrows in surprise. When he drove Harry here before, he saw this young wizard use a very beautiful Apparition.

"Ha! I knew that Headmaster Dumbledore would not bother to play with that idiot Fudge." The Auror took the opportunity to openly scold his boss: "This makes him look even more stupid."

Lupin agreed with this, but it was obviously not the time to reply. The group of low-IQ Dementors above his head began to stir again.

Suddenly-Lupin and the two Aurors felt the pressure suddenly reduced. They subconsciously looked back and saw the location of the giant wolf.

The giant wolf had disappeared, but a group of wolves appeared there. Each of them was huge. At least Lupin felt that those wolves were bigger than his own wolf.

"My God... summoning multiple patronuses at the same time. I only saw Professor McGonagall use it when I was about to graduate and take the N.E.W.T. class." The Auror on the side said in doubt.

Silver wolves ran in the air on the silver mist, constantly biting the Dementors, and some of the silver wolves got into the carriage and eliminated the Dementors in the carriage one by one.

Lupin and the Aurors could even hear the cheers and shouts of the young wizards in the carriage.

"Great! It's Rock! This is Rock's Patronus!"

"Finally saved! I'm going to ask my father to complain to the Ministry of Magic!"

"Hurry up and save me, I have one here too!"

"I'm more anxious here, Neville has been sucked unconscious by this monster."

Many senior wizards have seen Rock's Patronus. After all, Rock defeated the four major colleges with this move. This is almost his signature move in the college.

...

Perhaps the huge silver wolf scared the Dementors hovering in the air, or it may be that the sudden decrease in the number of companions made these low-intelligence Dementors react.

In short, these Dementors finally became honest, and the two Aurors also breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, they felt a little scalp-tingling again.

Logically speaking, these Dementors are all employees of the Ministry of Magic. With so many missing this time, Fudge will inevitably question them when they return...

On the other hand, some young wizards were also absorbed by the emotions of the Dementors' riot, and one or two even fainted, which is also a troublesome matter.

The two Aurors were in a dilemma and had a headache.

"Let's go and see the situation of the young wizards first..." One of the Aurors sighed.

He now wanted to pay a visit to Rock Anderson's dock. Fudge had said before that this person was a "master of the Order of the Phoenix". He wondered if he could contact Dumbledore.

At least Dumbledore had to find trouble with Fudge and let their boss take the responsibility himself.

The two Aurors and Lupin walked into the train, but found that the first few carriages were actually empty!

"Where are the students?" The two Aurors were immediately scared pale.

Lupin guessed something, and he glanced at the frost condensed on the window.

The appearance of Dementors will trigger fear and negative emotions in people's hearts. This is the ability of Dementors. Even the surrounding environment will become cold, making people shiver unconsciously.

In this case, the young wizards will definitely huddle together subconsciously.

When it is cold, people will gather around the stove, and the stove of this train is undoubtedly...

"Let's go, the students should be in the carriages closer to the inside." Lupin led the two Aurors to continue walking in.

Sure enough, just as Lupin guessed, the closer to Rock's carriage, the more students there were. They would even rather squeeze in the corridor to get closer to Rock.

"Make way, we are Aurors!" The two Aurors shouted loudly, squeezing through the students with difficulty.

Finally... after all the hardships, the two Aurors finally came to this carriage.

This carriage, which was originally suitable for four or five people, was now crowded with a bunch of young wizards. Only Rock's side was slightly vacant, and it seemed that these young wizards did not dare to really squeeze towards Rock.

As soon as the two Aurors arrived, they heard Rock inside saying, "Okay, stop crowding."

The little wizards had just experienced a disaster and lacked a sense of security. Rock understood this, but he just saw a little wizard take the chocolate frog on his table while the crowd was crowded.

Rock frowned and knocked on the table. The wooden table immediately raised a wave with the point he knocked as the center.

Then, this wave swept the entire carriage, and the room in the carriage began to gradually extend!

Traceless Extension Spell!

The two Aurors' eyes widened immediately.

An expert knows the doorway. This is the Hogwarts Express, which was originally made by dozens of wizards. It is not easy to cast magic on this train.

Thinking of the huge and terrifying patronus just now, the expressions of the two Aurors gradually became respectful.

"Ouch!"

The space suddenly became larger, and the little wizards who were supporting each other just now accidentally fell down.

Rock now saw clearly that it was Crabbe next to Malfoy who stole the chocolate frog. This little fat guy was really bold.

"Huh!" Malfoy, who accidentally fell down, got up from the ground, and the larger space made him feel a little relieved.

He was almost squeezed to death just now, especially with Crabbe, the little fat guy, standing next to him.

Malfoy looked up and saw two Aurors who came in. He seemed to remember something, and immediately raised his head and said to the two Aurors: "You are from the Ministry of Magic, right? I will tell my father about this matter."

The two Aurors were about to say hello to Rock, but were stopped by Malfoy's words.

One of the Aurors didn't want to pay attention to Malfoy, and was about to bypass him and go directly to Rock who was sitting inside, but the other Auror suddenly had an idea.

He stopped his colleague and said to Malfoy: "The Dementors are here to investigate the fugitive Sirius Black under the order of our Minister Fudge!"

"But, during the investigation just now, our colleague Dementors were killed? Do you know what this means?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Malfoy was not angry, but happy.

It seemed that the Auror wanted to make trouble for Rock. Although this was not a good thing, it was just right for him.

Making friends is also a matter of taste. His performance under the Dementors just now was too bad. If he were Rock, he would definitely not make friends with himself like this.

But now Rock is in trouble. If he stands up to settle the trouble at this time, then this time he and Rock are helping each other.

In this way, Malfoy can also stand proudly in front of Rock, extend his hand to him gentlemanly, and then say: You have power, but I have authority.

Malfoy was excited just thinking about being able to stand in front of Rock as an equal. He wanted Rock, a wizard who had never graduated from school, to see his own advantages and the power of the so-called Holy Twenty-Eight Clans.

"Ahem!" Malfoy straightened his collar and said to the Auror: "My father is Lucius Malfoy, and I am a member of the Holy Pure Blood Family."

"I will tell my father the truth about the accident caused by your recklessness this time."

When the Auror heard that it was Malfoy, his eyes lit up.

He just happened to see that the little boy wanted to show off, and when people want to show off for the sake of face, they are actually the most arrogant...

The Auror smiled and patted Malfoy's head: "I said, this time the order was issued by our Minister Fudge. With our Minister Fudge's iron order, it's useless even if your father comes."

Malfoy frowned immediately: "Our pure-blood family will report this situation to the Wizengamot! Do you know the Wizengamot? Even the Minister of Magic can't do it!"

The Wizengamot has only fifty members, and it also has the ability to review the Ministry of Magic. It is the highest court in the wizarding world.

"I said it's useless, and I, Minister Fudge, will do it all!"

The Auror suppressed his smile, put his hand on Malfoy's head, and shook the little wizard's head: "Steamed buns? Your Malfoy family is not convinced!"
