Chapter 211 Azkaban and the Golden Light Curse (Triple in One)

"What happened? The machine is broken?"

Eric froze for a moment, walked over and stared at the wand that opened the vibrating mode and beeping.

Muttering in his mouth: "Strange, this has never happened before."

Dumbledore stood aside with a smile, like a passerby watching the excitement, without any intention of making a move.

Zhang Xiao hurriedly reached out to call back the wand, but it was still a step too late.

The moment Eric touched the wand, the already irritable wand seemed to have found a breakthrough.

With a sound of 'stab', the dazzling electric light instantly illuminated the entire hall, and the staff who were secretly paying attention to this side couldn't help being excited.

Zhang Xiao hurriedly took the wand in his hand, even so, the wand was still vibrating, as if he was complaining to Zhang Xiao.

"Sorry sorry, my wand is a bit... grumpy and really hates being probed."

Eric's hair was all standing on end, like an afro, and his face was black.

He opened his mouth, and a puff of thick smoke spewed out, coughing violently:
"Ahem. Ahem. I. I'm fine."

The lightning wooden wand is quite measured, it will only burn you black with electricity, but it will not cause damage.

Eric looked at the magic wand in Zhang Xiao's hand with lingering fear:
"It's the first time I've seen a wand like this, and the worst little guy I've ever met was trying to shoot sparks at me, trying to set my hair on fire.

What... what kind of wand is this?Also sold by Mr. Ollivander? "

Zhang Xiao nodded embarrassedly:
"Custom wand."

"No wonder! Mr. Ollivander seldom custom-made wands, only those big families can afford custom-made wands."

ah?I don't seem to have added money, it's still 7 Galleons.

Eric took out his wand and cleaned himself up, and in an instant, he was back to his original appearance.

Until this time, Dumbledore said with a little seriousness:

"Eric, the lesson after graduation is that if you want to become an Auror, you must have enough vigilance.

In unusual circumstances, caution should be exercised.

Recklessness will only hurt yourself. "

Eric's face turned red immediately, and he saluted Dumbledore honestly:
"Yes, professor, I was negligent, and I will remember this lesson."

"Ding, first floor, the office of the Minister of Magic."

The elevator stopped, and many paper airplanes flew in impatiently.

Dumbledore led Zhang Xiao into the soft carpet, and said casually:
"Zhang, as far as your question is concerned, I can only say that the best spells mastered by wizards must be spells they invented themselves.

But to create a spell, you need a very advanced theoretical foundation, and the creation of a spell is not as safe as you think. "

Yeah, all I want to know is how to create a spell.

"Professor, if I want to learn about this, how should I learn step by step?"

Dumbledore pondered for a moment:
"Perhaps your dean, Professor Snape, can give you some useful theoretical guidance, alright Zhang, the pleasant exchange time is coming to an end.

Here we are. "

Dumbledore stopped in front of a luxurious wooden door with a brass plaque reading "Office of the Minister for Magic".

Zhang Xiao regretfully stopped the topic. Although he and Dumbledore had met quite a few times, there were other things to do every time they met.

It was very difficult to have such an opportunity to chat to one's heart's content, and he seized the opportunity to ask a lot of topics that he was very interested in.

Especially in terms of spells, this is the No. 1 guide in the wizarding world!

It can only be said that the harvest is quite rich.

Dumbledore reached out and knocked on the door, and said softly:

"Zhang, I hope you can watch and listen with your heart next time"

The luxurious door opened silently.

Dumbledore shook his robe, strode in, and Zhang Xiao quickly followed.

But I was thinking about what Dumbledore said just now, read and listen carefully?

"Connelly, long time no see."

Fudge stood behind the large desk, clutching a beautiful quill.

He quickly glanced at Dumbledore's face, looking a little shy, but then he remembered something and straightened his chest.

said aloud:
"Long time no see, Dumbledore."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Zhang Xiao always feels that Fudge seems to be a little afraid of the principal.

He then glanced at Zhang Xiao again, as if he was a little puzzled as to why Dumbledore brought him here.

Fudge nodded perfunctorily at Zhang Xiao, as a greeting:

"This is Zhang, right? Yes, he is an excellent wizard, and the future depends on you."

He put down his pen and walked around the desk, looking extremely irritable:
"Albus, is what you say true? Is that Peter really not dead? Or an illegal Animagus?
Hiding in Arthur's house for 11 years? "

Dumbledore nodded, and took out Scabbers from his pocket:

"That's right, I've already checked, do you need to take a look here?"

Fudge shook his head:
"Of course I believe you, Albus, but damn it, if Peter says something, the Ministry will be disgraced!"

He glanced at Zhang Xiao, hesitated, but still gritted his teeth and asked in a discussing tone:

"Albus, can this matter be kept secret and handled in private?
You know, the Ministry can't afford the price if it ever turns out to be true! "

A trace of disappointment flashed in Dumbledore's blue eyes, he stared at him, and said calmly:
"Why do you feel that if Black is really proven innocent and the Ministry of Magic admits its mistakes, it will deal a blow to order and the Ministry of Magic.

Instead of letting everyone see the determination of the Ministry of Magic to defend order?

Is it the rule of the Ministry of Magic to throw innocent people into prison without trial? "

He took a step forward, exuding a cold chill all over his body:

"Is the Ministry afraid of losing face, or do you care about it yourself? Cornelius Fudge—Minister?"

Connelly took a step back with a horrified expression, as if recalling that night, but then remembered that it was at the Ministry of Magic.

Own territory!
He glanced at Zhang Xiao, and a humiliated anger burned his mind like a raging fire.

Angrily roared:
"Dumbledore! I - the Ministry! Are you trying to attack a Minister at the Ministry?"

Zhang Xiao wanted to say something, but remembered Dumbledore's previous instructions, listen attentively, watch attentively, and keep silent.

I can only endure it, I am the Ministry of Magic?

It's not for life, where's the face!
Moreover, there is something wrong with Fudge's brain circuit. This is obviously a mess left over from the previous term. He can take this opportunity to create an image of himself as a wise and fair minister.

Why do you care so much about the authority and face of the Ministry of Magic?
Hiss. Could it be that he really regards the Ministry of Magic as his own private property?
Only in this way can he care so much about the Ministry of Magic. Amazing, Fudge, it's rare to be like this after only being a minister for two and a half years!

Dumbledore glanced at Fudge's hand quietly reaching for the alarm bell, and gave a soft 'hum'.

As if getting an electric shock, Fudge hastily withdrew his hand, but still said firmly:

"Albus, unless you plan to oust me, the authority of the Ministry of Magic cannot be challenged!"

"That's right, I have this idea. Fudge has only been more than two years old, and you have already become a complete stranger." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Everything is according to the rules, Fudge. Remember my words, now I, as Sirius Black's defender, demand that Black be taken out of Azkaban.

In order to participate in the trial! "

Zhang Xiao couldn't help giving Dumbledore a thumbs up in her heart, Professor!hard!
Fudge's face was pale, and he looked at Dumbledore in shock and fear, as if he didn't expect Dumbledore to say something about changing the Minister of Magic.

He wanted to say something, but in the end he held back, picked up a small gold-plated microphone, gritted his teeth and said:

"Department of Magical Transportation, arrange the Portkey to Azkaban, now, immediately, immediately!"

Dumbledore turned around and left with Zhang Xiao, as if it was a waste to say a word to Fujido.

It wasn't until the two came to the elevator that Dumbledore said in a low voice:

"Zhang, do you still remember that conversation? About whether the strong need to be restrained."

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Of course I remember, Professor."

The two walked into the elevator, and Dumbledore looked at him:
"Zhang, there is a demon in everyone's heart, and we have been wrestling with this demon all our lives.

If that fails and the demon is unleashed, then you become a creature of lust through and through.

Controlled by your own never-ending desires.

You said that the strong need self-discipline. In fact, this sentence is true, but it is not enough. "

At this moment, Dumbledore is like an old man who is dying, wishing to tell him all his thoughts and experiences:
"Only inner self-restraint can easily evolve into absolute freedom, and absolute freedom brings about absolute indulgence.

Therefore, external constraints are equally important. Only when the internal and external are united can the demons in the heart be restrained. "

"Professor, isn't that the same as chaining your hands and feet?" Zhang Xiao thought for a while, but still somewhat disagreed with Dumbledore's opinion.

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded, and he suddenly showed a sly smile:

"So I think it's kind of unfair that I'm stuck with my hands and feet.

I decided to become a guardian of the rules and tie up other people's hands and feet with chains. Whoever wants to loosen them, I will tie them up a little tighter. "

! ! ! !
Zhang Xiao almost laughed out loud, the unprecedented unfolding, the Ministry of Magic had to cry.

Dumbledore finally said leisurely:

"Zhang, you are still young, in the future, you can find a path that suits you.

I only hope that you can restrain the demon in your heart, take care of it, and don't become a creature of desire."

The elevator stopped and they arrived.

The dizziness brought by the Portkey faded away quickly.

The first thing I felt was a salty sea breeze and the smell of rot and mold.

Zhang Xiao subconsciously held her breath and looked around carefully.

This is a dark and narrow room, the walls are all made of rough black rock.

No frills.

The dilapidated floor has been so decayed that people worry that it will collapse if they step on it.

It was a middle-aged man with a serious expression who led them over.

He didn't seem to have graduated from Hogwarts, because Professor Dumbledore didn't know him. This indifferent big-nosed person only said that he was called the warden.

Didn't even bother to say the name.

Could it be that he has had too much contact with dementors?
Zhang Xiao thought to himself, and then a bone-chilling chill spread from every corner of his body.

He couldn't help wrapping the robe tightly around his body, and then realized that it was because of the changes in the surrounding environment brought about by the gathering of a large number of dementors.

Although I haven't seen a dementor yet, all the positive, optimistic, and positive emotions in my body are quickly dissipating with the temperature.

Almost subconsciously, a faint golden light radiated from the body, and the effect was almost immediate.

The coldness faded instantly, and the warmth returned to the body.

Zhang Xiao let out a long breath, only then did he realize what he had done.

I couldn't help feeling a little scared in my heart, the power of the dementors was indeed terrifying.

Just now, he even had a thought that it would be better to go home, as if he could no longer feel happiness, and life would lose its meaning.

The color of the whole world disappeared, and everything in front of me quickly turned into a dull gray and white, which was extremely bad.

However, Zhang Xiao's attractiveness was quickly attracted by another matter.

Is the Golden Light Curse also effective against dementors?

But he didn't want to try whether the Golden Light Curse could beat the dementors. If the effect was limited, it would be a lot of fun.

"Oh? Zhang, does that magical golden light in your east also have a certain resistance to dementors?"

Dumbledore looked at Zhang Xiao who seemed to be completely unaffected in amazement.

"However, I think you can also try this, after all, you have a very good Patronus."

Dumbledore pulled out a somewhat strange wand and tapped it lightly on his chest.

A warm silver radiance gently spreads all over the body like water:

"Although the patron saint has not been summoned, it can effectively resist the influence of the dementor. It is a very useful little trick."

Dumbledore talked about a few new uses of the Patronus Charm, which gave him a sense of enlightenment.

Zhang Xiao dispersed the Golden Light Curse, stretched out his magic wand and tapped on his chest, and a faint warm white light spread all over his body.

A warmth different from the Golden Light Curse surrounded him.

The gloomy warden didn't urge them, but stood aside with his arms folded.

It wasn't until Zhang Xiao finally took precautions that he put down his hands and took the lead towards the door.

Um?He doesn't need protection?

Seems to explain something.

The middle-aged man turned his head and gave Zhang Xiao a stiff smile:

"I am used to it."

Outside the narrow black door of the room is a stone staircase that spirals downward.

There are holes one by one on the stone wall, which are so exposed.

Biting cold wind howled in from the cave entrance, mixed with icy rain.

It was only then that Zhang Xiao realized that they were located in an independent tower building, soaring into the sky.

"Azkaban is on the opposite side, we have to go down, this is also a necessary measure, if the location of the port key is in Azkaban.

Few could resist the negativity emanating from a gathering of hundreds of dementors. "

While walking, Dumbledore was doing science popularization for Zhang Xiao in a low voice.

The steps were slippery and covered with moss.

The warden drew out his wand and pointed towards the road ahead, and the slippery moss and dust disappeared.

He muttered: "I remember it was cleaned up a while ago"

After saying this, he stopped talking, but walked forward in silence.

A group of people walked so quietly.

At some point, thick fog began to envelop from all directions.

With a disturbing whisper, but when you listen carefully, you can't hear anything.

Only then did Zhang Xiao discover that the entire island was shrouded in mist, but the tower was too high and passed through the mist just now.

Still without the Patronus Charm, the Warden lifted a lamp and turned the knob.

A bright orange flame appeared in the lamp, and the dense mist was magically dispelled by the light.

A narrow path was revealed.

"Come on, don't get lost."

The warden walked forward silently with a lamp in his hand.

Dumbledore still gave Zhang Xiao a science popularization:
"The fog here is a means of defense, the dementors are not affected.

As far as I know, your good friends Draco Malfoy's family also used similar defense methods.

It's just that Azkaban's is stronger and more comprehensive. "

Zhang Xiao nodded to show that he understood, and then asked in a low voice:

"Professor, why can this warden not use the Patronus Charm?"

"In theory, as long as you can shut down your feelings, you don't need a Patronus Charm.

As long as the seal is strong enough, this slight impact can be completely ignored. "

Zhang Xiao thought of Professor Snape's paralyzed face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, almost exactly the same as that warden.

So—is it Occlumency?
In the mist, the three of them spiraled down a seemingly endless staircase.

It seems to go on like this until you reach hell.

This does not only refer to the physical, but also in the spiritual world.

Zhang Xiao felt that she was moving forward on a road destined to have no end.

Negative emotions such as depression, fear, and despair came along with the pressure of the fog, trying to get into his body.

It's just that these emotions are often dispelled by the warm white light as soon as they are generated.

Finally, they came to the lowest end of the tower, where the fog was much thinner.

After stepping out of the arch made of stones, Zhang Xiao finally saw the complete scenery.

This is a small island with a small area.

Not far away is the rock wall that is cut like a knife, and the sea is not as blue as it is seen in the movie.

Instead, it looked a bit dark, and the cold and damp sea wind howled and brought water vapor to hit people.

The moist and greasy breath rushed straight into the person's body.

The waves rolled up and slapped a lot of foam on the reef, and it seemed that the sun would never be seen here.

If I had to find a word to describe it, it would be dead silence.

The warden put down the lantern and said with a blank expression:
"Your Excellency Dumbledore, please take care of this child, although I don't know why you brought him here.

But it's not suitable for such a small child. "

He paused, his face still indifferent, but there was warmth in what he said:
"Son, if you are afraid, close your eyes. The greatest wizard in the world is by your side, and he will protect you from any harm."

Dumbledore's eyes stayed on the warden for a while, and he nodded slightly:

"Zhang is the best little wizard I've ever seen, and his Patronus Charm is strong enough.

And you're right, I'll protect him. "

The warden raised his eyebrows. Under the powerful Occlumency, he could not express many emotions.

But Zhang Xiao could still see his surprise, as if he never thought that such a young child could master the Patronus Charm.

It is also the 'powerful patron saint' in Dumbledore's mouth.

He let out an 'hmm' and urged again:
"If the dementors are dishonest, you use the Patronus Charm on them, despite orders from the Ministry of Magic.

But this group... This group of monsters often don't follow orders too much.

You're welcome with monsters! "

As soon as he finished speaking, a dementor in a black cloak appeared in front of them at the end of the path.

Its body smelled of rot, and its scabbed palms slowly stretched out.

As if trying to grab something, the disgusting face with a hood stretched forward, making a weird 'hissing' sound.

The dementor was breathing heavily.

It's a pity that the three of them don't have vegetable chicken, and it can't suck anything.

This annoyed the dementor a little, and it lunged forward with a sickening sound.

The tattered cloak was dragged behind like a black mist, making a 'whoosh' shaking sound.

The Dementor hesitated as he passed the Warden, seeming to recognize the Ministry Warden.

Without being completely enraged, the Dementor decided to bypass the Warden anyway.

rushed behind him.

Almost instantly.

The dementor's body stopped in mid-air.

Because it saw Dumbledore, the scary old man.

It was beaten by him, or all dementors were beaten by Dumbledore.

Even the dementors didn't want to face the old man.

So it changed its shape and wanted to pounce on Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, turned her head and asked:

"Professor, I want to see if other than the Patronus, oriental spells will work on it."

Dumbledore nodded with a smile and agreed.

"Coax" Under the surprised gaze of the warden, a violent golden light suddenly rose from Zhang Xiao's body.

The eyes became alive in an instant, in the eyes of Fa.

The dementor seemed to have changed, and there was a black hole around its body.

Absorbing all the colorful things around.

It's just that no matter how concentrated Zhang Xiao is, he can't see whether it has a soul.

The dementor was extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it rushed to Zhang Xiao.

The warden finally couldn't stand it any longer, his face changed drastically, he pulled out his wand and wanted to release the Patronus, but he forgot that Dumbledore was still standing not far away.

In the horrified eyes of the warden.

Zhang Xiao seemed to have turned into a golden afterimage, heading towards the dementor.

A black light and a golden light collided instantly.

Before the dementor's hands reached him.

Zhang Xiao had already stretched out his hand and slapped it hard on the face.

Secret of the Zhang family!

With a crisp sound of "snap", the dementor was even whipped and turned several times in the air.

The scene fell silent for a while.

Even Dumbledore did not expect this result.

His blue eyes looked at the golden light on Zhang Xiao with a little surprise.

The warden's mouth opened wide, and he pointed at Zhang Xiao and then at the dementor in astonishment.

No, dementors have no physical body!

In the Ministry of Magic, even a clerk who has just joined the job knows that, except for the Patronus Charm, any attack method is ineffective against dementors.

But...but that kid just slapped the Dementor? ?
Zhang Xiao also lowered her head, looking at her own golden light in amazement.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the golden light curse of dual cultivation of life and life!
At the moment just now, he just had strong confidence, felt that he could touch the dementor, and he was ready to call for help if he couldn't.

It's just that the moment I put on my face, my heart is relieved. Although the hand feels terrible, it's like taking a picture of a bone frame.

The dementor also seemed to be taken aback. It let out a howl similar to a scream, and kept trying to touch its cheek with its scabbed and haggard hand.

It seemed that the place where the slap was slapped still carried injuries that Zhang Xiao didn't know about.

The three of them almost felt that the monster in front of them was enraged.

The warden hurriedly took out a delicate silver whistle, held it in his mouth, and blew vigorously.

But a large part of the reason why monsters like dementors are called extremely dangerous is because they are difficult to control.

The dementor who had been slapped shouted towards the sky with an unprecedented howl.

The warden's face became uglier than ever. He took off his whistle, ran to Dumbledore's side, and said anxiously:

"Oops! This dementor is calling for its companions! Your Excellency, Dumbledore, I'm afraid I can only ask you to help them calm down!"

Dumbledore didn't answer, but cast his eyes on Zhang Xiao, and said with a smile:
"Zhang, I think I can meet your patron saint."
