Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 198, Section 196: The Dark Magic Master Dursley, who actually knew very little dark magic.

"Albus, you have to let me explain."

Fudge, who had only been gone a short while, rushed over again, this time panting and covered in sweat.

He nearly fainted when he heard that the Dementors had broken into Hogwarts without permission.

If this leads to the death of one or two junior wizards, he'll really have to step down.

Fortunately, Dumbledore intervened in time and expelled them from Hogwarts, which relieved Fudge.

As expected of Dumbledore, he's reliable in crucial moments.

"Connelly, you promised they would never appear inside the castle, so why are they still here?"

Dumbledore said sternly, "You should know how disastrous it can be if something is not handled properly."

Fudge repeatedly said yes, but when Dumbledore couldn't see him, he frowned slightly. He didn't like being spoken to like that, like a son being yelled at, without giving him any face. After all, he was the Minister of Magic.

Fudge is such a despicable person. If you talk to him nicely, he won't listen to you and will only take advantage of you.

If you speak harshly and don't give him face, he might soften up at the time, but he'll hold a grudge against you afterwards.

If you seize on his weaknesses to threaten him, but flatter him in your words, he will actually listen to you.

Of course, this is on the premise that he doesn't become stubborn.

"Tell Albus what happened!"

As Fudge finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a flustered expression stepped forward. He was Fudge's secretary, and he was also covered in sweat.

"The Dementors say that one Dementor is missing; it went missing on the Hogwarts Express."

Upon hearing this, Fudge spread his hands towards Dumbledore: "Albus, you see, they only rushed into Hogwarts because one Dementor was missing."

"The Dementors went missing and you went to Hogwarts Great Hall to look for them?"

"You believe Fudge just because the Dementors say so?"

There's a limit to how brainless you can be.

Dumbledore suppressed his anger, gaining a deeper impression of Fudge's incompetence, and said with as much patience as possible, "Cornell, that's the Dementors' excuse. No one but them can prove whether he's really missing."

"It's very likely that this Dementor broke away from its group."

"One Dementor has escaped in just one day. If the number increases, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Cornelly, I suggest sending some more Aurors to patrol the villages around Hogwarts."

"The number of Dementors cannot be increased any further."

Fudge agreed repeatedly, but didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"Dementors aren't smart, how could this be their conspiracy? Albus is just overthinking it."

In a sense, this was the first and perhaps only time that Fudge was more truthful than Dumbledore.

Dudley, the mastermind behind the "Dementor disappearance incident," is studying the Dementor he captured in his bedroom.

It was trapped within the barrier created by Dudley using a transmutation circle.

Dementors, also known as soul-devouring monsters, are said to be man-made monsters. Underneath their cloaks, they have no facial features, only a huge mouth that feeds on people's happiness and sucks away all the joy and fond memories of the people around them.

Those targeted by Dementors will gradually lose all their emotions, and will eventually have their souls stolen through a "Dementor's Kiss".

You have no self-awareness, no memory, nothing at all, and there is no hope of recovery whatsoever. You are merely alive. An empty shell; your soul is lost and will never return.

Like a person in a vegetative state.

According to Rowling herself, Dementors are the embodiment of the emotion of depression.

A monster filled with negative emotions.

"The Divine Blade is Without a Shadow!"

With a casual wave of the wand, a dark shadow appeared, passing through the Dementor's body at incredible speed, and the wall behind it shattered as if struck by a giant sword.

Fortunately, Dudley's room was filled with transmutation arrays, which isolated the sound and vibrations.

Even the powerful black magic, Divine Strike, couldn't harm the Dementor.

Dali nodded.

The Divine Blade Without Shadow is currently the most powerful of the Dark Arts of the Dali Order.

However, while this spell is quite powerful, it also has many limitations. For example, the Divine Sword is not very effective against the Infernal (it was used by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, with little effect).

Yes, that's right. The Dudley Brotherhood actually has very little black magic.

This is far from the title of a top-tier master of dark magic in Slytherin's eyes.

Hogwarts is not Durmstrang after all; Dudley's knowledge came from the Hogwarts Library and Flourish and Blotts.

Don't expect to find any powerful dark magic to study in these two places.

Even the supposedly miraculous forbidden book section doesn't actually contain a single Fiendish Flame Spell.

Not to mention the Three Unforgivable Curses, those aren't things you can just learn on your own; you need someone to teach you, and that person can't betray you.

As for self-study, there is no book that records it yet; it is generally passed down orally.

Studying the Unforgivable Curse is a grave sin in the magical world, although many wizards on both the black and white paths do so.

Black magic is usually passed down orally.

Even Dudley learned the "Shadowless Slash" technique from Snape's notebook.

"Raging flames!"

Dudley switched to another spell.

Blazing flames shot into the air, illuminating the entire room.

Unfortunately, even the flames couldn't harm the Dementor in the slightest. Even though the flames were lit directly below the Dementor, and the sparks flew all the way to its tattered cloak, it didn't react at all.

It burns its own, it floats its own.

The two do not interfere with each other.

Dudley tried several more spells, but none of them worked on the Dementors.

"Interesting." Dudley's interest in the Dementors grew even stronger.

It can ignore physical and magical combinations like "Shadowless Strike" and is immune to pure elemental attacks like raging flames.

It would be great if we could tame the Dementors.

This ability to ignore the vast majority of attacks would be extremely useful for scouts or assassinations.

Unfortunately, Dementors do not fall under the category of magical creatures and cannot be tamed.

Dudley slowly put away his wand; he was about to try out the power of other worlds.

He held up a finger to the Dementor.

The first is illumination.

Dali didn't take it seriously at first.

She only used it on the Dementors because it was the first spell she knew.

He usually uses it as a free flashlight.

As for lighting, even the strongest light only targets the eyes. Dementors don't even have eyes, so what's there to be afraid of?

Who knew that the moment the intense light from Dudley's fingertips shone on the Dementor...

"Hiss! Ha!!"

The area illuminated by the light seemed to be on fire, emitting white smoke and a burnt smell. The Dementor, as if severely injured, let out a painful roar.

Dementors are afraid of light spells?
