Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

Upon hearing the frog's croak, he immediately poked his head out and took a bite. A frog that had hopped into the air had already landed in his mouth.

He was so hungry that he needed to replenish his energy.

After hastily chewing a few bites and swallowing the frog, he looked again in the direction of the Quidditch pitch.

A dazzling silver phoenix soared into the sky, and the horde of Dementors that had been rampaging were completely routed and driven out of the Quidditch stadium by the silver phoenix.

……

Sirius Black was completely relieved. He knew that it was Dumbledore's Patronus, and since Dumbledore had already taken action, Harry would definitely be alright.

His stomach was convulsing as he digested the frog. Without further hesitation, he recalled those fragmented memories, trying his best to avoid encountering dangerous magical creatures, and swiftly traversed the Forbidden Forest.

Another dazzling flash of lightning appeared, and a dark shadow suddenly appeared before his eyes, sending a chill down his spine.

A Dementor suddenly appeared before him, as ghostly as a ghost, and looked as light as a feather.

Light and airy?

Sirius Black shook his head, only then realizing that he seemed... not to feel any threat.

But he was certain that the thing in front of him originated from a Dementor;

After all, he had spent so many years in Azkaban and was extremely familiar with Dementors.

To avoid any accidents, he didn't approach the dark figure. He circled around and hid behind a tree before cautiously peeking out.

It was just a cloak, a cloak belonging to a Dementor.

He couldn't help but recall a copy of the Daily Prophet he had seen before, which mentioned that he had used magic from Voldemort to kill a Dementor...

Chapter 209 Is my danger level about to rise again?

Azkaban is a terrifying place.

Prisoners imprisoned in Azkaban have their feelings of happiness and fond memories sucked away by Dementors, gradually turning them into mindless zombies, immersed in pain and despair all day long.

When many wizards talk about Azkaban or Dementors, their tone changes, indicating their strong aversion to the place.

It was for this reason that the report about Sirius Black killing Dementors caused a wave of panic after it was published.

Sirius Black, as one of the parties involved, read the report briefly from the perspective of an Animagus and initially thought that his long-term use of Animagus had led to a cognitive bias.

So he found a quiet, secluded corner, and after regaining his human form, he reread the report from a wizard's perspective.

The skills learned from the mysterious man?

Will it bring an even greater crisis to the magical world?

The most loyal follower of the mysterious man?

If he really were a Death Eater, truly received the skills taught by Voldemort, and was even described as "the most loyal follower of Mystic," he would probably be so happy that he couldn't sleep.

There are examples like this in Azkaban; his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange was such a "loyal follower."

Bellatrix Lestrange was incredibly confident and full of hope, firmly believing that Voldemort would return, which made her a long-term target for the Dementors.

Unfortunately, he wasn't her cousin; he was just a fool trying to atone for his sins.

With his wand broken, he couldn't even cast the Patronus Charm, let alone completely destroy a Dementor as reported in the Daily Prophet.

After reading the report several times, Sirius Black even suspected that it was a trick by Cornelius Fudge to pin a fabricated story on him.

Cornelius Fudge's deployment of Dementors to search for him actually met with considerable resistance and opposition from the public;

While scavenging for food near the trash can, Sirius Black would occasionally find letters containing obscene and abusive language directed at Cornell Fudge.

Perhaps the insults weren't vicious enough, so the letter wasn't accepted by the owner and was subsequently discarded.

Connelly Fudge fabricated this false report in order to gain more public support, increase anxiety, distract attention, and reduce public dissatisfaction with him.

……

Only today, when the Dementor's "relics" appeared before him, did Sirius Black finally realize that the Dementors, as "non-existent" beings, could actually be destroyed.

Cornelius Fudge, a habitual liar, actually didn't lie this time.

Just then, another dark shadow appeared, blown by the strong wind, flying towards the direction where Sirius Black was.

Sirius Black instinctively tucked his tail between his legs, took a few steps back, and hid behind a tree to observe and determine what the second dark figure was...

Another Dementor Cloak!

Another Dementor has been defeated!

Sirius Black suddenly realized a serious problem: now that two Dementors had been eliminated, did that mean...?

Why should I blame myself for the demise of these two Dementors?

The instant this thought crossed his mind, an impulse also surged within him—he wanted to know who the person who could destroy the Dementors was!

However, this was just a momentary impulse, and he ultimately suppressed it and chose to leave the place.

I still have things to do that I haven't finished, and I really don't want to encounter any more unexpected events.

Sirius Black continued his journey through the Forbidden Forest, occasionally startled by Dementor Cloaks that would appear around him.

His state of mind underwent considerable changes on his journey away from the Forbidden Forest;

From the initial panic when faced with the Dementor's cloak, to later becoming accustomed to it even when the cloak swept past his eyes and almost touched his nose.

He wasn't sure if he was used to the appearance of the Dementor Cloak or had become numb to the mass extinction of Dementors.

Just how many Dementors have been destroyed?

Who exactly is eliminating the Dementors?

Is it simply a grudge against Dementors?

Or do they want to use Dementors to conduct some kind of experiment?

Is this person a member of Hogwarts?

Is my danger level about to rise again?

After finally leaving the Forbidden Forest, these questions arose and lingered in his mind.

-------------------------------------

The last question was answered a few days later.

While rummaging through the trash, Sirius Black stumbled upon a new news article: [Black's Bloodbath: Dementors Slaughtered! The English Wizarding World May Face Annihilation!]

After filling his stomach, he ate the newspaper and returned to the hidden, narrow cave entrance to regain his human form.

He shook the drool-covered newspaper. "This is a dark day that even 'The History of Magic' cannot describe..."

"The ruthless fugitive Sirius Black unleashed his appalling magical powers, slaughtering countless Dementors..."

"This appalling act not only shook the foundations of the magical world, but also threatened the safety of every English wizard..."

"Black's actions demonstrate that he has become a more terrifying being than the Man of Void! Faced with this unprecedented crisis, the Ministry of Magic has announced an emergency plan: to replenish the number of Dementors in order to meet the impending challenge..."

"Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge stated that increasing the number of Dementors is the only option and a necessary measure to protect the English wizarding world. Although this will cause some inconvenience, it is negligible compared to the threat posed by Black..."

"An anonymous 'non-human' researcher stated that Sirius Black slaughtered Dementors because his more than ten years of imprisonment in Azkaban filled him with hatred for them. If this hatred could not be directed at the Dementors, the consequences of transferring that hatred onto ordinary people would be unimaginable..."

Sirius Black put down his newspaper, his expression incredibly complex and bitter. "I never imagined that I... would become 'an existence more terrifying than the Mysterious Man'..."

He let out a long, helpless sigh. "Who exactly is slaughtering Dementors? Even if the Ministry of Magic can't find the real culprit... what about Headmaster Dumbledore? Hasn't he done anything about it?"

A sense of bewilderment crept into his mind. If he hadn't exiled himself back then, but instead told Dumbledore and the others more, would he have avoided this predicament?

Thinking of this, he suddenly slapped himself. "I shouldn't be thinking about this now! As long as I can catch him, all the problems will be solved!"

He glanced at the Daily Prophet again, gritting his teeth as he said, "And this charge, it's not mine either! It needs to be clarified!"

Chapter 210 Combines the "Guardian Angel Healing Spell" with the Divine Sharpness and Shadowless Curse

Cornell Fudge wasn't as bad as people thought.

After publishing a report about Sirius Black's massacre of Dementors, The Daily Prophet also published an interview.

The interviewee in this interview is Cornelius Fudge, who clearly and solemnly states that he will "breed" Dementors, while also guaranteeing that he will not over-breed them.

He hoped to restore the number of Dementors to previous levels so that the hunt for Sirius Black could continue.

The interview concluded with his words: "Even the Dementors had to pay such a heavy price when they were hunting Sirius Black..."

"I really can't imagine what terrible things would happen if strikers and Aurors were to hunt down this vicious fugitive!"

"Even now, I can't forget the scene when I saw the hero 'Peter Pettigrew,' who only had one finger left! I don't want that to happen again!"

"I hope all my employees are alive and well. Let the Dementors handle dangerous tasks like this!"

……

For Vizette, as long as the Dementors don't enter Hogwarts, "breeding" Dementors could actually be considered good news.

He didn't know how many "Dementor filaments" were needed to twist a wand core. Since the number of Dementors could be restored, he wouldn't have to worry about where to find Dementors if he still lacked materials later.

After collecting the Dementor Cloaks scattered throughout the Forbidden Forest, he discovered something: the Obscurial Core's capacity to hold Dementor Cloaks actually has a limit; it can only hold a maximum of seven Dementor Cloaks.

Despite the increase in quantity from one to seven, there was no reduction in purification efficiency.
