Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 401 #A meritorious veteran cadre was bullied by a 15-year-old boy during his retirement visit#
"..."

Cohen glanced at the Dementor, then at the malfunctioning Edward.

“So…” Edward hesitated before speaking.

“How long have you been yelling at this Dementor, Cohen?” Cohen sighed. “I guess Mom’s not home—”

“Your mother went to the United States the day before yesterday. There’s an extreme incident in Chicago where a large number of Muggles have died, and there’s something to report on…” Edward said. “But… what does that have to do with your mother?”

“Because if Mom were home, you wouldn’t have mistaken me for a Dementor.” Cohen leaned the box against the sofa, then sat down to Edward’s left, leaning back and gazing at the ceiling. “Our relationship has faded. If I become a Dementor and can’t turn back, you won’t be able to tell which one is me…”

The Dementor that floated down followed Cohen's example, drifting all the way to Cohen's left side and leaning against the sofa, its faceless face, hidden by its hood, facing the ceiling.

“How could I not recognize you—” Edward quickly put his arm around Cohen’s shoulder and said, “It’s just that this morning when it came in and saw me, it didn’t pounce on me, and it ran straight to your room…”

Didn't they pounce on us and attack?

Cohen turned his head to look at the Dementor sitting to his left, then at Edward to his right.

Perhaps it's because there's a Dementor acting as a "Hornet"?

"Do you know this person?" Cohen asked the Dementor.

[Like you... but not you...] This Dementor is trying to express that Edward and Cohen are very similar.

It's probably because Edward has a Dementor as a "Hordeal"...

Cohen confirmed this, but it was a good thing, to prevent Edward and his companions from being accidentally harmed by other Dementors—given the current level of understanding these Dementors possessed, Cohen felt it would be very difficult to stop them from harming a specific human, especially after they left Azkaban…

wrong--

Why did they suddenly leave Azkaban?
"Why are the Dementors from Azkaban here?" Cohen immediately asked Edward. "Is the Ministry of Magic planning something big?"

“I don’t know. I was just about to go upstairs to write to Tonks to ask about the situation—it should be looking for you, right?” Edward changed the subject. “Have you had dinner yet? I’ll make you something today.”

“No.” Cohen shook his head. “A whole fried chicken, with lots of cumin.”

"Hungry?" the Dementor asked. "I brought some food—"

As it spoke, it tried to pull Cohen upstairs.

"You didn't run away with another prisoner, did you...?" Cohen sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Stop living on scraps. I'll take you out for something good tonight."

The Dementor transmitted a puzzled thought.

A wizard will try to stop it...

"Just eat, I'll take care of the rest." Cohen waved his hand. "With me here, you won't be discovered."

The Dementors seemed very enthusiastic about Cohen's offer and did a somersault in the air.

"Why did you suddenly come out?" Cohen interjected. "Or did you all come out of Azkaban?"

"We're all out..." The Dementor transmitted a memory to Cohen.

In my memory, Voldemort brought a few Death Eaters to Azkaban, lured the Dementors away from Azkaban to seek their fortune elsewhere, and... all in the name of Cohen!

Upon hearing that their compatriots abroad had found them more and better food, as well as a close wizarding organization, the Dementors could no longer sit still—and were easily taken away by Voldemort.

The Dementor pack even sent this Dementor to Cohen to deliver this message...

【…】

Cohen was reluctant to explain this.

Voldemort seems to have a bit too little sense of boundaries—but it's something Cohen was going to do sooner or later to bring the Dementors out, so letting the main force hang out with Voldemort for a while isn't a bad idea.

In any case, no matter when, if Cohen's words and Voldemort's words are put side by side, the Dementors will definitely listen to Cohen more—at that time, Cohen only needs to say "these are also the spare food I prepared for you" to turn them against him, and Voldemort's expression at that time will definitely be very interesting.

The Dementor Empire doesn't need Death Eaters and Voldemort, just as Voldemort's vision wouldn't include an uncontrollable and uncertain factor like Cohen.

[Did you encounter anyone who spotted you on your way here?] Cohen suddenly thought of something.

If the Dementors arrived at Privet Drive and were discovered by the Ministry of Magic, it would be hard not for the already delirious Fudge to suspect that Cohen was the mastermind behind everything.

Therefore, Cohen had no choice but to prepare in advance for the first shot fired by the Dementor Empire.

Immediately afterwards, the Dementor passed on a fragment to Cohen, which was from when it came to Privet Road—it seemed to be an evening, and two people were walking down the street, one tall and one short, one of whom had a dim soul like a Muggle, while the other had two bright souls stuck together.

The features were obvious; Cohen immediately recognized the two people in this memory as Harry and Daly.

[You pounced on him, didn't you?] Cohen had already guessed how it would end.

Harry knows the Patronus Charm, so this Dementor definitely can't get close to him—

The Dementor nodded and passed on the next memory to Cohen.

It was knocked away by Harry's Patronus stag, and because of this incident, it hid outside for two days until it was certain that Harry had left Privet Drive before coming to find Cohen.

Because Cohen wasn't there, and Harry, blocked by the Faithful Charm, couldn't come to Edward to remind him of the matter, so this misunderstanding has continued until now...

It's just unknown whether, with Edward's family involved, the Ministry of Magic will attribute the Patronus Charm on Privet Drive to Harry.

The traces on an underage wizard can only reflect magical fluctuations in a large area around them, and cannot allow the Ministry of Magic to detect who cast the spell—however, if Fudge insists on targeting Harry for spreading the news that "Vanguard is back," it is worthwhile to open a case and spend some useless effort.

"It's fried." Edward's voice came from the kitchen.

"Dobby, bring the little master's fried chicken!" Dobby called out excitedly, as if he had been holding back for a long time and was finally able to do his job again.

At the same time, a snow-white owl flew in through the window, a letter hanging from its talons.

Letters to Cohen can still be sent here because the Faithful Charm protects Edward and Rose, not Cohen, the Secret Keeper.

[Greece, or No. 5 Privet Drive, Cohen]
[Cohen, if you get back from your trip, could you come to number 12 Grimmauld Place? I have something very important to share with you.]

Harry.
