The demon monk in the second dimension

Are hippogriffs really that dangerous?

Xia Zhi sighed.

"You can ask Professor Dumbledore."

……

The challenging Protection of Magical Creatures class passed just like that. Two days later, the third-year wizards faced their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the year.

Before class, Moody picked up the roster and called out names one by one.

When he reached the summer solstice, he stopped and looked at it.

"Oh, is this Xia? Professor Dumbledore told me about you."

Moody's two eyes, one big and one small, were both fixed on Xia Zhi, even Harry and Ron next to him felt a sense of oppression.

But I didn't feel anything at all during the summer solstice.

Moody is just a little ugly, that's nothing!

"He said you know some Chinese supernatural arts, so even ordinary Aurors are no match for you. He even struck Professor Quirrell and Professor Lockhart with lightning. So, you should know what the three Unforgivable Curses are, right?"

"It's summer solstice," Xia Zhi replied.

"It's the Imperishable Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Killing Curse."

"Absolutely right, Gryffindor gets two points!"

After taking attendance, Moody began the lesson.

Although he was teaching the Unforgivable Curse in this lesson, he did not use a spider as an example.

Moody is most famous for never using the Unforgivable Curse during his time as an Auror and for guiding several Aurors who had become Death Eaters back to the right path.

It is quite strange that someone would use an Unforgivable Curse to teach a young wizard in the very first lesson.

However, Moody's emotions and behavior underwent a significant change at that time: his magic eye constantly darted around to investigate his surroundings, he always had to pull out his wand before speaking to anyone, and he only drank water from the rose-colored flask he had filled himself.

He even refuses to eat the food served at banquets when visiting friends' homes.

Everyone thought he was being neurotic and suffering from paranoia.

This is not the case.

Moody realized that Peter Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr. were watching him and trying to harm him.

Although he didn't know who the other party was, Moody felt that the person lurking in the shadows must have ill intentions.

Old Auror's pride prevented him from seeking help from others.

Unfortunately, despite his vigilance, Moody was defeated by Peter and Barty Crouch Jr. working together and was eventually imprisoned in a safe, where he was forced to provide ingredients for Polyjuice Potion so that Barty Crouch Jr. could infiltrate Hogwarts.

However, the situation is different now.

Xia Zhi noticed that Moody did not drink any water or beverages during the more than one hour of class.

So this is the real Mad-Eye Man, not Barty Crouch Jr. in disguise.

Besides, at this time, Barty Crouch Jr. should have been locked up at home by his father, Barty Crouch, and Peter Pettigrew should have been captured, not reunited with the remnant of Voldemort hiding in the Albanian forest.

……

In addition to her regular classes, Xia Zhi was also dragged by Hermione to participate in activities that promoted the welfare of house-elves.

Knowing that there were many house-elves at Hogwarts, Hermione often took Summer to the kitchen to ask them if they wanted to be free.

"Freedom? You mean you'll never have to work again?"

Under Hermione's expectant gaze, the house-elves were first stunned, then trembled with fear.

"That's terrifying! That's absolutely terrifying!"

Summer Solstice said to Hermione, who was greatly disappointed, with amusement.

"If someone told you to never study or read again, how would you feel?"

The little witch frowned.

"But this is different!"

"What's the difference?"

Xia Zhi shook her head slightly.

"As a Chinese sage once said, 'You are not a fish, so how do you know if a fish swimming in the water is happy or unhappy?' For house-elves who have been magically transformed, work is the happiest thing."

Hermione had no interest in arguing with Summer Solstice; instead, she insisted on working for the benefit of these house-elves.

From that day on, she would often knit small gloves or scarves and secretly put them in the kitchen.

Hermione thought these house-elves were barely clothed and should at least wear clothes in the increasingly cold Hogwarts.

Fortunately, these house-elves didn't belong to her, but to Hogwarts. Otherwise, Dumbledore would not only have to worry about where to find a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year, but also about finding a way to get a new batch of house-elves.

……

In the third week of school, everyone discovered that the Dementors had disappeared from Hogwarts.

They talked a lot about it.

"Could it be that Sirius Black has been captured?"

After dinner that day, Harry was suddenly called over by Dumbledore.

When he returned, he said to Xia Zhi and Ron with a look of surprise.

"Guess who I saw at Professor Dumbledore's place?"

Seeing Harry's excited expression, Xia Zhi immediately saw through his words.

"It's Sirius Black? Dumbledore exonerated him?"

Harry nodded happily and grinned.

"That's right! The Ministry of Magic is no longer pursuing Black, and Peter Pettigrew has been imprisoned in Azkaban and sentenced to life imprisonment!"

Hearing Harry say that, Xia Zhi smiled too.

Black had already escaped from Azkaban once, and he believed Peter wouldn't be too much worse off.

So the magical mark that was placed on the opponent came in handy.

Summer Solstice hasn't forgotten that Dementors are a great tonic for him!

Azkaban is not a particularly secluded place; it is located on a small island isolated overseas.

Its location is also mentioned in some books.

After all, as a prison of the Ministry of Magic, Azkaban still allows visitors.

On this Friday night, Summer Solstice will be left in her room with a wand that the Ministry of Magic has added with brown silk to detect directions, and will sneak out of the Chamber of Secrets into the Forbidden Forest with her flying broom.

He transformed into a half-snake man and ascended into the air from the Forbidden Forest. Following the magical imprint he had left behind, Xia Zhi wrapped his tail around the flying broom and turned the engine to its maximum speed. In just over two hours, he found Azkaban.

To the Ministry of Magic and others, Azkaban was heavily guarded.

In this prison located on a remote island, there are only a very small number of human guards, and their living quarters are separate from those of the Dementors.

Dementors can be seen everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground.

They float in the sky like ghosts, not overwhelming, but they are everywhere.

Summer Solstice made no attempt to conceal her figure.

He surrounded himself with magic, concealing his dangerous aura, and charged directly at the Dementor in the sky.

The Dementors were delighted.

And food is delivered to your door?

But once they get closer and see Xia Zhi's eyes, even the Dementors cannot resist the petrifying, instant-death ability.

The Dementors floating in the sky instantly turned to stone and plummeted to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Summer Solstice also landed, its lower body turning into a pool of blood, devouring the Dementors who had turned into stone statues.

Seeing their companions fall one by one, some Dementors panicked and tried to call for the main force.

But when Xia Zhi glanced at them, the Dementors who met his gaze were also petrified.

Even now, the Dementors don't know why they were petrified, and they have no awareness that they cannot look Xia Zhi in the eye.

Summer Solstice feasts amidst the Dementors.

After the anomaly was discovered, a steady stream of Dementors came from all directions, only to become easy prey.

As soon as Xia Zhi turns his head and makes eye contact with these Dementors, without even taking any action, they will turn into stiff stones, waiting to be devoured by him.

While devouring the Dementor's body, Xia Zhi was also circulating the Soul Devouring Technique.

As soon as the Soul Devouring Technique was activated, the Soul-Devouring Monsters seemed to sense their natural enemy and were all terrified.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Many Dementors issue commands to summon their companions.

Led by their leader, all the Dementors in Azkaban gathered together and flew toward the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi smiled and looked up, and the group of Dementors who had walked right into the trap fell from the sky like birds with broken wings.

As the Dementors gathered their companions, the human jailers in the Azkaban settlement also heard the noise.

He woke his companion and, wand in hand, cautiously made his way towards the prison area.

"Get up! Something seems wrong with the Dementors!"

"What's gotten into the Dementors in the middle of the night?"

His companion got up unhappily and complained.

"Could it be that he absorbed too much of the young wizards' joy at Hogwarts and is not used to returning to Azkaban?"

Meanwhile, the warden of Azkaban also came out.

The three men—a warden, a deputy warden, and a guard—walked toward the prison area, only to find it quiet.

The Dementors who had just gathered their companions had vanished without a trace.

The warden was starting to panic.

"Could they be tempted to run out and attack Muggles? I need to notify the Ministry of Magic immediately!"

Just then, Xia Zhi silently emerged from the shadows.

He raised his hand, simultaneously casting a staffless spell and a silent incantation.

Three knockout blows landed in quick succession, knocking the warden, deputy warden, and guard to the ground.

He tied the three men up with ropes, threw their wands into the sea, and then threw them into the room.

Summer Solstice then continued to devour the souls of these Dementors.

It took a day and a night for all the Dementors to be devoured by Summer Solstice.

At this moment, the prisoners in Azkaban felt very strange.

Where did all the Dementors go?

This is a good thing!

They also didn't want to see these horrible creatures that enjoyed indulging in pleasure.

But where did today's food go?

As night fell, the prisoners, who had been hungry all day, began to curse.

Just then, Xia Zhi, cloaked and with her eyes closed, crawled over.

The prisoners shouted at him.

"Is dinner finally served? We've been waiting for so long!"

Why are you so late today?
