My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 328, Section 325: Kill them all as they enter!

"You're saying I broke the law?"

Although no sound was made, the Dementor leader was expressing what it wanted to say to Lynn in a strange way, and Lynn could actually understand it.

The Dementor leader told Lynn that they were going to arrest him because he had killed a Ministry of Magic employee.

Lynn gave a cold laugh.

"Leaving aside the mess you made on the train, I could kill all your men without a problem. But speaking of locking me up in Azkaban, sir Dementor, do you have an arrest warrant from the Ministry of Magic?"

The leader of the Dementors silently stared at Lynn with its turban, offering no response or action. But behind it, the Dementors quietly surrounded Lynn in the center.

Upon seeing Lynn surrounded, the young wizards who had been inside the carriage braved the cold rain and jumped down from the carriage.

"What do you want?"

One of the students asked the Dementors in a cold voice.

Most of them had witnessed Lynn driving the Dementors off the train car by car.

Moreover, after the last semester, Lynn's reputation among the young wizards was not much worse than Dumbledore's. And because they were all the same age and spent more time together in the castle, Lynn was much less distant from Dumbledore.

So when the students saw Lynn surrounded, they were naturally unhappy and got off the train.

Lynn winked and smiled at the students behind him, indicating that nothing was wrong.

"Go back to the carriage and wait. Don't get out and catch a cold in the rain, or Madam Pomfrey will come after me. These things aren't even as scary as half a basilisk's tail. Don't worry about me."

The young wizards were amused by his words, and then obediently returned to the carriage.

Lupin, who was standing nearby, witnessed this scene and only then realized how much prestige Lynn held among these students.

After getting the children back into the carriage, Lynn turned back to face the Dementor leader, his expression turning cold as he drew his wand from his sleeve.

"I'd also like to take this opportunity to emphasize something to you."

As he spoke, strands of silvery-white light emerged from the tip of his wand, gently swirling and dancing in the air.

The Dementors that had gradually gathered around Lynn scurried away in fear, as if they had encountered a stain of dish soap on the surface of water, creating a huge vacuum between them and Lynn.

The Dementor leader also took a few steps back in fear, but Lynn did not let it go. Instead, he followed its retreating steps forward step by step.

"Professor Dumbledore has agreed to your task of guarding Hogwarts and searching for escaped prisoners. However, you must understand that you are searching for prisoners, not students inside Hogwarts. This time, you entered the Hogwarts Express without a word, and killing one of your companions is merely a warning. After this, I don't care how you apprehend prisoners outside the school, but if even one Dementor dares to step into Hogwarts, I will kill it! Two in, I'll kill two! Ten in, I'll kill ten! No matter how many come, I will kill them all!"

As soon as Lynn finished speaking, the flying pig statues on the pillars on both sides of the gate suddenly seemed to come alive and changed position, staring at the Dementors.

It was as if countless gazes were shining down from within the castle, staring at them with the sharpness of swords.

Lynn's words were like the Emperor's decrees within Hogwarts, and countless soldiers obeyed his will unconditionally.

At the same time, the silver-white orb on his wand, which was wrapped in white light, had condensed to the size of a human head.

And it's still growing. If it were to explode, those scattered light threads would be enough to radiate to all the Dementors within a radius of 500 meters!

Lynn cornered the Dementor leader all the way to the gates of Hogwarts, finally stopping and turning to the Thestrals, speaking softly.

"Back to Hogwarts."

The Thestrals galloped into the Hogwarts campus, carrying the carriages of the young wizards. Lynn was the last to step through the gates after all the carriages had entered.

"I advise you to take care of yourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doors of Hogwarts closed automatically, shutting all the Dementors out.

Lynn dispelled the Patronus Charm from his wand and walked into Hogwarts Castle as leisurely as if he had returned home after a long journey.

The Dementors regrouped in front of the Hogwarts gates. The leader of the Dementors looked at Lynn's back with great fear. After a long while, it reluctantly dispersed the surrounding Dementors, leaving only two to guard the gate.

After the Dementors dispersed, the little flying pigs on the stone pillars on both sides of the gate silently returned to their original positions.

In the Great Hall, as Lynn entered, Lupin had already told Dumbledore everything that had just happened at the school gate.

While the young wizards were still noisily searching for their house's long table to sit down, Dumbledore led Lynn to a small cubicle next to the Great Hall.

"I heard from Remus that those Dementors forcibly stopped the Hogwarts Express, and under the guise of hunting down escaped convicts, they drained the emotions of several students. They even stopped you at the school gate just now?"

Dumbledore's expression was also very unpleasant; he had never liked Dementors.

Lynn shrugged: "I accidentally killed one of their companions on the train, which is why they stopped the carriages returning to school at the school gate. But I've already warned them. If they still have a tiny bit of brains under their headscarves, they shouldn't cause any more trouble."

Dumbledore nodded: "I will hold the Ministry of Magic accountable and have them send a few more wizards to specifically oversee these Dementors, so that they don't cause any trouble."

"Dementors aren't a big problem. Did you ask Tom about what I wrote to you about before?" Lynn asked, blinking at Dumbledore.

"She has no objections and will cooperate with you. But I want to know what you plan to do? Those families have deep ties with the Ministry of Magic, and even with substantial evidence, it's not certain that we can do anything about them."

"We don't necessarily have to do anything to them. As long as we can tell who is real and who is fake, that's enough. Even if the Ministry of Magic is deeply involved with them, they will only do a superficial job."

Lynn stood up and stretched: "The new students are arriving soon, Professor, you should go out too."

Dumbledore also stood up, looked at Lynn, shook his head and smiled.

"Today marks the beginning of a change at Hogwarts, but we don't know whether this future will be good or bad."

"Change may lead to improvement, but without change, we'll just have to wait for things to rot and decay."
