Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

Moreover, it is a complete physical guardian deity!

Recalling the arduous experience of learning the Patronus Charm back then, Lupin couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine.

Is that human being?

When Lupin first heard Harry mention that Eric had used the Summoning Charm in front of him and praised Eric's magical talent, he was somewhat skeptical.

After all, Harry didn't grow up in the wizarding world, so his understanding of magic is quite esoteric.

If someone really wanted to fool Harry, there were many ways to do it.

Even if Lupin wanted to use other spells to achieve a similar effect to the Summoning Charm in front of Harry, it wouldn't be difficult for him.

This is why Lupin was so wary of Eric from the beginning.

He had no reason to trust Eric, who had suddenly appeared and claimed to know about Blake's situation.

But now, the guardian spirit that Eric summoned can't be faked.

Both the pure white, smoky texture and the magical aura emanating from the guardian spirit, which permeates the soul, prove that this is indeed a guardian spirit summoned through the guardian spirit incantation.

It is also Eric's personal guardian spirit.

Amidst the raging storm, Lupin stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, speechless.

Standing beside Eric was a huge bird of prey with a sharp beak, thick wings, and feathers as sharp as steel covering its entire body.

Just standing there, he was already taller than Lupin, giving off an unparalleled aura.

No wonder the Dementor that broke in couldn't even withstand a single blow and was immediately repelled.

"This...this is your guardian angel, Eric?"

Lu Ping said, stunned.

Eric chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Please forgive me, Professor, this is the first time I've ever seen it either."

Lupin wasn't the only one shocked; Hermione and Ron, who were in the cubicle, also gaped, staring in horror at Eric and the giant eagle beside him.

"What is that? Professor! What on earth is that?"

Ron cried out in alarm as he held the unconscious Harry in his arms.

Eric didn't offer much explanation for Ron and Hermione's astonishment. Instead, he smiled at Lupin and said, "Now that I've used the spell, leave the outside matters to me, Professor. You take good care of them."

"I'll go and talk to the Dementors."

After saying that, looking at the mess in the carriage compartment, Eric, without waiting for Lupin's objection, turned around, picked up an item from the ground, and used his wand to command his giant eagle Patronus to rush out the door.

Lupin was in a panic and wanted to call out to Eric, but after waving his hand and looking at Harry lying unconscious on the ground beside him, he ultimately didn't make a sound.

Before boarding the train, Lupin, of course, already knew that the Dementors would be entering the train to conduct an inspection.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood up early and pointed his wand at the door of the cubicle after noticing the change in temperature.

The original plan was to let the Dementors board the train only after it arrived at Hogsmeade Station, to ensure that Black did not blend into the crowd.

Unexpectedly, these Dementors were so crazy that they dared to temporarily stop the Hogwarts Express and, under the pretext of searching for Black, force their way through the blockade and board the train.

Dementors feed on happy emotions.

This train was packed with students eager to return to Hogwarts.

Such a large target, even a creature like the Dementors, which has little rationality, ultimately did not choose to let it go.

Watching Eric's back as he carried the Guardian Angel with an air of entitlement, Lupin's lips twitched involuntarily.

communicate?

You call this communication?

Who brings a guardian spirit to communicate with a Dementor?

It was too late to stop Eric now, so Lupin could only shake his head helplessly and settle things in the cubicle.

On the other hand, Eric showed no mercy.

As soon as Eric stepped out of the cubicle, he witnessed a scene that left the Ministry of Magic utterly humiliated.

Their carriage was located relatively far back, and after the train was stopped by the Dementors, they were among the first to be hit by their intrusion.

Besides the Dementor that entered Eric's compartment, there were several other Dementors wandering around the various compartments of the carriage at this moment.

Their target was certainly not Blake, but the students.

To be precise, it was the positive emotions emanating from the students.

The Dementors dared not cause physical harm to the students, nor did they dare to ask for too much.

After all, they were still officially under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic's Azkaban Guardians.

But even deliberately passing by each student would be enough to satisfy the Dementors.

Because when a Dementor gets close, all of the person’s happy and positive emotions will be immediately sucked away.

Even if one isn't subjected to a Dementor's "Kiss," they will immediately fall into a state of melancholy.

These emotions are excellent food for Dementors, and even more so, the nutrients that sustain their survival.

At this moment, with a whole trainload of "food," how could the Dementors not be excited?

How could they possibly resist?

As Eric watched the Dementors go in and out of the cubicles with satisfied expressions, a smile gradually crept onto his lips.

The giant eagle beside him sensed its master's emotions and became even more impatient.

"Then go ahead and crush them."

Eric stood still and waved his wand. The pure white giant eagle beside him screeched and shot out like lightning, stirring up gusts of wind and shattering all the car windows along the way.

Chapter 39 One thing brings down another thing

Today is certainly not a lucky day for any of the Dementors that choose to enter this carriage.

What they had anticipated as a foolproof inspection was met with resistance.

Of course, the resistance couldn't be said to be inexplicable; the Dementors were well aware that such behavior was something wizards could not tolerate.

The Ministry of Magic certainly wouldn't allow them to trespass onto the Hogwarts Express.

However, the Dementors hadn't had such excellent "food" in a long time.

The desire for food is a biological instinct.

So, taking advantage of the Ministry of Magic officials' momentary lapse in attention, the Dementors managed to stop the train!

The origins of Dementors are complex.

Legend has it that they were created by a dark wizard using some kind of mysterious magic.

Dementors have no physical body; they are magical creatures that feed solely on the emotions of others.

However, they are also jailers who cooperate with the Ministry of Magic and are responsible for managing Azkaban.

What is Azkaban?

That's a prison.

However, Azkaban, which serves as a prison, was not built by the Ministry of Magic.

In fact, Azkaban already existed.

Azkaban was originally an abandoned castle located on a remote island, with a very peculiar internal structure.

Azkaban is surrounded by the sea, with only a narrow road connecting it to the mainland.

Controlling this road is tantamount to controlling Azkaban.

From a military perspective, Azkaban is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it a natural choice for use as a prison.

The Dementors lived in Azkaban before it came under the control of the Ministry of Magic.

Azkaban was originally the dwelling place of Dementors, and also the place where they were created.

The wizards' discovery of Azkaban came later.

When Azkaban was rediscovered by the world.

The entire castle was teeming with thirsty Dementors.

There was also the corpse of a dark wizard, and the pervasive aura of dark magic throughout the island.

Dementors are creatures that cannot be destroyed or purified.

No one knows how they were made.

They have basic intelligence and comprehension abilities and can communicate, but most of the time, their behavior is purely driven by instinct.

That instinct is to continuously absorb the positive emotions of all living beings around us as nourishment for survival.

The most terrifying thing is that, on this basis, Dementors can also reproduce themselves.

They are like wild animals, constantly eating and reproducing to perpetuate their populations.

By the time the Ministry of Magic discovered them, their numbers had become too great to be controlled by force.

For this reason, the only way wizards could come up with to cooperate with Dementors was to transform Azkaban Castle into a prison and have the Dementors, who were naturally accustomed to living in resentment, act as the prison guards.

The most severe punishment the wizards could devise was to send prisoners to Azkaban and let the Dementors kiss them.

The prisoners lose all hope amidst the Dementors' daily kisses.

This was certainly not just for the purpose of serving time; it also meant providing a stable source of "food" for the Dementors, making it easier to control them.

If not.

If such a large number of Dementors were to decide to leave Azkaban one day, it would cause the Ministry of Magic even more headaches.

God knows how much damage they will cause to the magical community.

Those who are sent to Azkaban by wizards are unlikely to be happy.

It's even less likely that there will be many positive emotions.

After all, Dementors have a notorious reputation.
