Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 301: Inside and outside the castle (four k big
Offstage.
Chang Chu, who was sitting at the long Ravenclaw table, had been listening quietly to Dumbledore's speech, but she didn't suddenly react until he announced the start of the banquet.
This is the end?
Changchu glanced at Dumbledore, who was already sitting on the podium, and frowned slightly.
According to common sense, Dumbledore always spoke completely and thoroughly in his opening speeches in the past, and would not miss any situation. But this time? In addition to the more dementors said, some other content is very concise and capable.
It's like... as if there is an urgent matter behind him that must be dealt with quickly, even if there is no way to spare a little time.
It is not surprising that Dumbledore did not mention Wright and Velita who left school this semester, although many students from the Eagle Academy have asked her why Wright did not come along the way.
But that's Dumbledore! Perhaps in the eyes of a great wizard like him, things like exchange students are not so important that they must be explained at the opening banquet.
What makes Chang Chu feel a little weird is that Dumbledore didn't give any detailed explanations to the two newly appointed professors, and he didn't even have the opportunity to let them speak.
This is very rare.
There are not a few students who have the same feeling as Changchu. One or two professors also felt Dumbledore's weird performance tonight, but no one said it in front of him.
However, most of the students gave their principals extremely warm applause as always, and many of Gryffindor’s applause and cheers were given to Hagrid to praise this generous personality. The performance of the big man in the past.
Waiting for the last student in the hall to stop clapping, Dumbledore waved his hands again, and the golden plates and goblets on the four long tables were suddenly full of hearty food and delicious food. Drink.
At this time, there was finally a little banquet atmosphere.
Slowly, laughter and knives and forks collided in the sky above the auditorium. The terrifying influence caused by the dementors on the train just now seemed to disappear completely at this moment.
After the last dessert disappeared from the plate, Dumbledore directly announced the end of the banquet, and then left the hall by himself.
Now, even the dullest Hagrid felt that the problem was wrong.
He looked at Dumbledore's fading back, and just about to say something, he was stopped by Professor McGonagall who was sitting next to him.
As the vice-principal of the school, when Dumbledore makes bizarre performances, he often needs to take on the responsibility of closing. This is also one of Professor McGonagall’s work.
She squeezed a clean silver dining spoon on the table and knocked on the tall glass engraved with gold rims. The crisp impact made the buzzing in the hall gradually diminished.
"Premiers, the banquet time has passed." Professor McGonagall said calmly as he looked at the students coming from the stage, "Please take the students from your respective colleges back to your respective common room. ."
"By the way, on the first day of school, don't let me discover that there will be bold students going out during the curfew." Professor McGonagall glanced at the Gryffindor table, especially the position of the Weasley twins, adding Explained a sentence.
Fred and George looked at their dean sincerely, saying that they would not be like the bad students. The two brothers had never done anything that violated school rules.
Professor McGonagall looked back and motioned for the students to leave the hall.
Zhang Chu squeezed among a group of Ravenclaw students, and together with the Gryffindor students, they walked up the marble staircase leading to the second floor. Slowly, she fell to the back row of the Eagle Academy students, and walked with Hermione and the three of them.
"Harry, I just heard some students say that you fainted while on the train?" Chang Chu asked, "Is that why Professor McGonagall came to you just now?"
"Yeah, I..." Harry said dryly, but after a long while, he didn't say why.
"Did you not use the Guardian God Charm just now?" Changchu asked again, "I remember that both of us were able to summon the shapeless Guardian God of Silver Mist."
"I wanted to use it," Harry said helplessly after looking at Changchu. "But when the Dementor gets closer, I can't remember anything. It just gently As soon as I breathe it, I seem to lose consciousness completely."
"Harry, do you know how to do that magic?" Hermione looked at Harry in surprise.
"Don't mention it, Hermione." Harry drooped his head. "I didn't use it at all. If it wasn't for Professor Lupin to drive the dementors away, I don't know what else I would do now."
"It's okay, Harry." Changchu patted Harry on the shoulder. "Remember what Wright said when he taught us? He said, we might be in the peaceful and peaceful village of San Catchpole. The guardian **** can be summoned, but when faced with real pressure, the difficulty of casting the guardian **** spell will increase several levels."
Harry's face is still a bit ugly.
"Furthermore, he also said that because your previous experience was too terrifying, few people have a legendary experience like you, so it is much more difficult for you to cast the patron saint than ordinary wizards. Chang Chu said again, "Especially when you are faced with a dementor who can **** happiness away, the original suffering will increase on you at this time."
"Thank you, Changchu." Harry smiled reluctantly. "This makes me feel better."
Changchu and Harry were on the fourth floor when they were on the fourth floor. She was going to the Ravenclaw common room in the West Tower, and the three of Harry needed to continue to go up to Gran on the eighth floor of the main castle building. Fendor Lounge.
"Harry, you have never told me before, you still know this magic!" Ron looked at Harry with some envy, "What is that magic called? Hand, guard?"
"It's a patron saint curse, and the spell is a call to protect the gods." Hermione corrected in a low voice. She still remembered how Changchu chanted the spell on the train.
Then her voice became louder, "Harry, is this magic difficult to cast? And why have I never heard of its name? It doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the school textbooks, right? Did I miss it?"
"No, Hermione." Harry interrupted Hermione's endless questions. He was very tired now, but he couldn't help answering his friends' questions.
Harry had no choice but to cheer up, "As far as I know, which is what Wright said before, the patron saint is the most famous and deepest defensive magic known to wizards. Most wizards in the wizarding world are It is impossible to summon any kind of patron saint..."
"But Harry, can't you summon it?" Ron interrupted at this moment.
"I didn't," Harry frowned. "I did summon some silver fog when I was in San Catchpole, but when I was on the train, I didn't succeed at all, and even cast a patron saint. There is no chance."
"Okay." Ron said angrily.
At this moment, the three of them had already arrived on the eighth floor. Percy, standing at the back of the crowd, shouted the password to the lounge, and a large group of Gryffindor students rushed into the lounge.
After saying goodbye to Hermione, Harry and Ron went straight back to their dormitory.
The fire in the dormitory has been lit, and the whole room is filled with a sleepy warmth. Harry has just changed into his pajamas, but before he goes to bed, two redheads The twins broke into here directly.
"Harry!" Fred and George greeted him at the same time.
"What's the matter?" Harry asked bravely.
"Harry, I know you may be tired now, but we also heard about you on the train." Fred walked to Harry's bed and sat down.
"How the **** did you know about this?" Harry said angrily.
"Leave it alone." George sat on Harry's other side and put his hand on his shoulder. "We all know the horror of dementors, the kind of chill that can freeze people's internal organs together. , People can't find happiness at all."
"So, we need to have some fun now, to have fun." Fred did not know where he touched out a small colorful box filled with various candies of different colors.
"What's this? The new Bibidou flavored beans?" Harry glanced at the inside and outside of the box.
"This is not Bibidou, Harry." George picked up a piece of black candy in the box and threw it to Harry. "This is the latest product launched by our Weasley’s Witchcraft and Wizardry. Taste."
Harry didn't doubt he was there, so he threw the candy into his mouth.
A pungent sensation instantly spread from his mouth to all parts of his body, and Harry felt as if something was coming out of his throat.
"Well, Wang, Wang Wang!"
Harry's voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the dormitory. Ron is here, Neville is here, Seamus and Dean are here.
"What are you doing, Harry?" Ron asked, "Insane, have you started to learn how to bark?"
Harry stopped after ten seconds of calling. He smiled and looked at Fred and George: "What are you giving me?"
"Animal sound candy," Fred winked, "Originally it was used to imitate human voices, but we didn't think it was interesting enough, so we modified its function."
"It's interesting!" Ron said with interest, "Can you give me a piece too?"
"Although you are our younger brother, you should have charged for it, but when the name is being started, I will give you a piece for free." George took out a piece of green candy from the box and threw it away. To Ron.
Ron took the candy and immediately stuffed it into his mouth.
"Squeak, squeak!" Ron clenched both hands into fists and placed them next to the cheeks, learning the sound of a mouse in a decent way.
Scaly poked his head out from under the bed sheet, seeming to be looking for which mouse it was, making the same sound as it.
"The mouse is calling! Ron, you are learning to be a mouse!" Seamus laughed, pointing at Ron.
After a while, Ron stopped, and he asked George: "How do I feel that this sound is a bit familiar? It's as if I heard it from somewhere."
"This is the voice of your mouse, Ronnie," Fred said with a smile.
"Spotted?"
"Yeah, didn't we just say it? This candy needs to collect animal sounds before it can show its effect." George said, "but we were in Egypt at the time and couldn't find any sound. Animals. The scarab's voice is too faint, so we have to make scaly as candies."
"No wonder I used to think that the spots would suddenly disappear for a while!" Ron said angrily, "It turns out that it's all your ghosts!"
"Then what animal is my voice?"
"I thought you would know." Fred looked at Harry and shrugged. "The big dog living next to you is only Lu Wei."
"Hey! Fred, do you have any other animal sound candies?" Seamus asked interestedly.
"Naturally there is!" George said first.
The twins gave out some of the sound candies they made during the summer vacation to Seamus.
Simo was assigned the sound of an owl, and while grunting, he learned how to walk with an owl.
Ron pointed out bitterly that their owl, Errol, would not be as strong as his movements, so Seamus immediately became slower~IndoMTL.com~ like a master owl.
Neville was assigned a piece of cat candy. He supported the bed frame, meowing, and turned over from the bed.
If you pair it with the orange one-piece pajamas on his body, Neville now looks like a giant fat orange.
Ten oranges, nine fats, and one particularly fat, talking about Neville.
There will never be a lack of this kind of fun that pops up somehow in the boys’ dormitory. The laughter in Harry’s dormitory gradually disappeared when Percy came to check the sleeping situation.
Unlike the warm spring Gryffindor common room, the weather outside the castle can be described as terrible.
The heavy rain was rumbling, the wind was blowing, and the shining lightning pierced the dark night from time to time. Large droplets of shiny raindrops fell from the dark clouded sky, and a thick cloud of mist rose up on the walls of the castle, on the ground, and on the black lake.
During this torrential rain, dozens of dementors in ragged black robes are distributed in the mid-air around the castle. Their heads completely covered by hoods are looking in the direction of the castle. Only one Open your mouth and unconsciously open and close there.
No one knows whether the dementors will show the expressions that humans have, but even so, although they can’t see the faces of the dozens of dementors surrounding the castle, they are Exudes a sense of greed constantly.
They are longing for the happiness in the castle.
They are eager to enter the castle to eat.
Under the hood, a big shapeless hole, sucking the moist and cold air around it, makes the kind of guttural noise made by people who are dying. It travels far in the heavy rain curtain until it disappears. .
