Chapter 10 Silver's Guess
The Dementors' riot did not cause much impact - at least at Hogwarts. The students began with a heated discussion about Harry Potter's accident and the dementors' boldness. Of course, the most concerned were the magic Dumbledore used to drive away the Dementors. However, the students quickly lost interest in this topic - except for Malfoy, who imitated Harry's fall from a broom all day long. In addition to Crabbe and Gole pretended to be dementors, Malfoy imitated Harry's panicked look. But in general, the Dementors' riot did not bring any visible huge changes to Hogwarts.
However, the wizard society outside the school is not like this. The headline of the Prophet Daily reported the riots of the Dementors and the inaction of the Ministry of Magic. The newspaper titled "The Ministry of Magic is incompetent, and the Dementors disturbed the campus." Next, the Prophet Daily told the incident in a large section-
"We were horrified to find that our children were no longer safe. The Ministry of Magic asked the dementors to enter Hogwarts on the grounds of arresting Sirius Black. If it weren't for the principal of Hogwarts, Professor Albus Dumbledore, the chief wizard of Wisengamo, to forcefully obstruct, the Ministry of Magic even wanted the dementors to enter the public rest room of the students! This time, the dementor did not obey the order and insisted on entering the Quidditch Stadium, which was waiting for the students, and the boy Harry Potter, who survived the disaster, almost fell off the broom and fell to death. It fully proved the unreliability of this inhuman terrifying creature. While our Minister of Magic Fudge was stubborn and insisted on revoking the soul-sucking.
Strange. Our reporter learned that it turned out that on the express train from the students to Hogwarts, these restless dementors attacked the students in the car. If it weren't for an outstanding student who was proficient in the patron saint, Jack Silver, the heir of the ancient and noble Silver family, then there would have been casualties. The Ministry of Magic took various measures to block the news. We couldn't help but question whether our Minister of Magic, Mr. Foggy, wanted to arrest Sirius Black, or to send our children, the future of the wizarding world to the dementors? This newspaper will continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter..."
"Yes, I insist that it is irrational to wizards cooperate with this dangerous creature." Professor Albus Dumbledore, principal Hogwarts and chief wizard of Wiesengamor, said in an interview with the newspaper reporter. "If it is to capture Sirius Black, I believe we have more reliable candidates than a group of dirty dementors who are thinking about sucking my students' souls all day long."
"Yes, I think Minister Fudge has no consideration in this matter. It is indeed a bit of a threat to my children when I have so many dementors staying in Hogwarts. This riot has made me even more uneasy. You know, my children are also playing on the field at that time," said Mr. Lucius Malfoy.
Geslda Machban, a senior member of Wiesengam, was even more direct: "I don't understand what Fudge is thinking about writing? He sent the Dementor to Hogwarts, but there is no news about Black so far. Instead, the Dementor attacked the students twice! If such things happen, I think Minister Fudge should have changed his position and wake up well."
Minister of Magic Foggy claimed that he was busy with affairs and refused our interview, and believed that we were just making a big deal. But whether we were too small, or Minister Fuji was stubborn and downplayed the situation, all this will be tested by time...
"It seems that Fudge has been busy during this time." Silver put down the Prophet Daily and said to Hermione. "He has to pay a price for his stubbornness."
"Yes, think about it, there are more than a hundred dementors. If Professor Dumbledore hadn't taken the action, Harry would have died." Hermione said while teasing Crook Mountain.
Crook Mountain grabbed a spider and was about to swallow it. Silver reached out and took the spider away-"Crook Mountain, you should eat some healthier and more beneficial videos." Silver took out a can of dried fish. Crook Mountain rushed up excitedly.
"More than 100 dementors, huh, the people from the Ministry of Magic are simply stupid. When they first arrived, they only brought two teams, that is, twenty-four dementors. There are more than 100 dementors, and they still breed so quickly without food."
Hermione looked at Silver in horror. "Will they still breed?"
"Yes." Silver nodded. "Dementors reproduce like mushrooms. They suck happiness, leaving only pain and sorrow. The more pain and sorrow, the faster the dementor breeds."
"But the dementors guard the entrance to Hogwarts. They can't get food, so how can they still reproduce?"
"I suspect that the dementors found a place similar to the ancient battlefield. In an environment like the ancient battlefield, people's wailings on death, obsessions when they are dying, and pain when they struggle hundreds or thousands of years ago. The obsessions and emotions left by a large number of people before their death can be kept for hundreds or thousands of years without dissipating. There is sufficient death energy for dementors to reproduce in such places - dementors will not only absorb happiness and souls. Usually, in such places, dementors will reproduce at an astonishing speed. The people who visited the Ministry of Magic did not notice anything wrong at all. Once the dementors form a scale, it is difficult for wizards to deal with them. Dumbledore can easily defeat hundreds or thousands of dementors, but if there are more than ten thousand dementors, even wizards like Professor Dumbledore would not dare to drive them away easily. More than ten thousand dementors stay together is enough to freeze the fragile souls."
"So what should we do? What should we do if there are more and more dementor breeding grounds?" Hermione was solemnly speaking, and couldn't help but become scared.
"Hehe, in fact, most of you were scaring you just now. Where can dementors breed more than 10,000? Indeed, extreme environments like ancient battlefields are conducive to the reproduction of dementors, but they are limited. Moreover, dementors are also intelligent creatures, and they will not be stupid enough to reproduce in large quantities. Once there is this sign, even the stubborn Furge will come forward to suppress them. More than 100 dementors did not exceed Furge's psychological bottom line. I think the initial idea of Dementors was to lose more so that the Ministry of Magic who were guarding them would not dare to stop them too much. This time Professor Dumbledore took action, and those dementors should not dare to play like this in the future." Silver smiled.
Hermione angrily smashed Silver with the book.
"But to be honest, there is a special environment near Hogwarts that allows dementors to reproduce. This should be carefully checked. Is there anything ancient battlefield or something like that in Hogwarts?"
"Jack, Professor Dumbledore said, let's not leave school." Hermione was still a little angry.
"I just said that, nothing else. Don't be angry, I just want to make a joke..."
