Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

He had always wondered what would happen if he tried to completely destroy the Dementors using the Patronus Charm.

Now he sees it.

Although the burst of magic Eric just used had a small range, it was the most powerful magic he had ever used.

Not to mention, he also attached a guardian spell to it.

With magic compressed to its absolute limit, the Dementors had nowhere to escape from Eric.

The Dementors that were directly hit by his Patronus Charm vanished almost instantly.

However, the essence that constitutes the Dementors has not disappeared.

Instead, it transformed into a cloud of black smoke in mid-air, merging with the nearest fleeing Dementors...

Chapter 84 The Truth

So that's the truth behind why Dementors can't be killed.

Eric stared intently at the plumes of black smoke in the air that should have been Dementors.

From a spiritual perspective, everything appears clear and lucid.

The black smoke drifted erratically, flying at an extremely high speed through the air.

It demonstrated a speed that Dementors could never have possessed.

Outside the range of Eric's magic, several Dementors fled in panic.

They avoided Dumbledore and Eric, gliding over the pitch.

Eric and Dumbledore's consecutive hits did not cover the entire field.

We should still leave some room for Dementors.

After all, we can't go too far.

Dementors are still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic.

They were essentially unofficial employees of the Ministry of Magic.

Even though they are not obedient.

As if drawn by their own kind, the black smoke merged into the fleeing Dementors at an even faster pace.

Eric could clearly see that, during this process, the black smoke, like an independent force, calmly entered the bodies of the other Dementors.

In this way, an extra emotional force, which sustains the Dementor's life, is created within its body.

Besides the black plume of smoke that Eric had observed alone, there was another part: the Dementor that had just been absorbed into it and had lost its physical form.

Aside from Eric, neither the Dementors who received the black smoke nor anyone else noticed it.

On the surface, the Dementors that are completely destroyed will actually split into different parts and then recombine in the bodies of other Dementors of the same kind.

Eric boldly speculated that this might be how Dementors reproduce.

Dementors do not have a reproductive system and do not distinguish between genders.

However, the phenomenon of reproduction does indeed exist.

Since they were created, they have always expanded their populations in a way that resembles asexual reproduction.

No one has ever witnessed how Dementors reproduce, since no one wants to get too close to them.

Their home in Azkaban was so gloomy that no one wanted to venture deep into it.

All people know is that at some unknown moment, the number of Dementors will suddenly increase.

Eric's discovery now confirms this.

So that's how they constantly absorb negative emotions.

Regardless of whether these emotions originate from one's own kind or from others.

When these emotions accumulate to a certain point, they will be "spit out" from the body.

Thus, a new Dementor was born.

However, given the speed at which Dementors absorb emotions and recover, this process is rather lengthy.

As a result, the number of Dementors has remained within a manageable range over the years.

"Everyone..." After a brief silence, Dumbledore's voice echoed throughout the stadium, "Return to the castle in an orderly fashion, led by the professors and prefects. With me here, the Dementors will not harm anyone again."

Dumbledore's voice was especially reassuring at that moment.

"And... thank you, Eric, you've been a great help." Dumbledore's voice echoed throughout the room. After speaking, he turned to Eric and smiled at him.

He completely ignored the stands that Eric had damaged.

Dumbledore's actions made everyone aware of Eric's existence.

Eric chuckled, ignoring Dumbledore's flattery, and turned to remove Luna's lion's head, tossing it forward.

Luna did not resist and waved goodbye to the lion head.

“I’ll send you an even bigger one later,” Eric said.

Luna nodded vigorously.

The lion head stopped singing, but its eyes revealed immense fear, as if it knew what Eric was about to do: "Oh...no!"

Eric ignored it, and with a light tap of his wand, he stretched and deformed the lion's head into a single piece of wood, which he then placed on the stand he had destroyed.

A future musician was thus utterly destroyed by Eric.

Eric transformed the rag doll lion head into a wooden grandstand, complete with railings and steps.

It fits perfectly, without the slightest deviation.

The newly built stands are very beautiful, as if nothing had ever happened.

This move further shocked everyone who still cast curious glances at Eric.

If Eric's magical outburst just now represented the ultimate power, then Eric's current move represents precise control over magic.

Eric excelled in both his mastery of Transfiguration and his control over it.

It is said that when people went up to that platform again afterward, they could faintly hear a sound coming from under their feet, as if someone was singing.

The singer was very emotional, and the voice sounded very sad, with a hint of melancholy.

The lyrics repeat the same word over and over again.

That is "Gryffindor".

People said this was a sign of Gryffindor's intervention.

Even nearly a thousand years after his death, he still seems to be protecting the Gryffindor team and leading them to victory.

Chapter 85 Fire Arrows

When Harry opened his eyes again, he saw a vast, classical marble dome and white standing screens around it.

He lay on the bed, with a bright chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

The school doctor, dressed as a nurse, walked back and forth in front of him.

Harry caught a glimpse of the familiar potion bottle on the bedside table out of the corner of his eye.

He quickly realized where he was.

School Hospital!

Harry has been to the school hospital quite a few times.

Whether it was fighting with Malfoy or getting injured during practice, he always had to go to the school hospital afterwards.

Coming here feels like coming home.

"You're awake, Harry."

A familiar voice rang in his ears.

Harry turned his head and looked.

Hermione, Ron, and Eric stood by the bed, smiling as they looked at him.

Harry looked bewildered; his memory was clearly still stuck on the football field.

“You fell off the broom, Harry, thankfully Eric caught you,” Ron explained.

Harry stammered, "Catch me...?"

It wasn't that he doubted Eric's ability, but Ron's explanation was so disjointed that he simply couldn't piece things together.

Harry thought for a moment and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"It wasn't long, and you weren't seriously injured."

“What about the Dementors?” Harry asked anxiously. “I remember they suddenly appeared on the field, and then… and then I don’t remember anything.”

Ron looked embarrassed: "After you saw the Dementors, you stopped in mid-air and then fell straight down from the sky, Harry. We were surprised too. Luckily, Eric was there. He used a spell to make you land safely."

"So... I passed out again when I faced the Dementors?" Harry looked dejected, then asked, "What happened to the Dementors afterward? Was anyone injured?"

Ron glanced at Eric, his expression becoming even more unnatural, and said, "Uh... no one is hurt except you, buddy."

"what?!"

“Professor Dumbledore and Eric each used a super powerful spell to drive away the Dementors,” Hermione said. “Do you remember when we encountered the Dementors on the train? Eric also used that spell called the Patronus Charm to drive them away.”

“Eric just raised his hand and blew up the entire stand. Now Eric is famous!” Ron added.

Harry covered his face with his hands.

What he worried about most finally happened.

The entire school watched as he fainted in front of the Dementors.

This wasn't on a train, and there were people covering for him.

The Slytherins, led by Malfoy, will certainly write extensively about this.
