Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Draco immediately stopped and stayed where he was, waiting for the owner of the footsteps to arrive.

Soon, he could no longer hear the footsteps, but he could clearly feel that the footsteps were moving towards him.

Draco raised his eyebrows. There were little wizards who used the Invisibility Spell just like him!

The Invisibility Spell is a must-know spell for night wandering and robbing in Hogwarts.

Many little wizards may not be able to learn other intermediate spells, but they must know the Invisibility Spell.

In addition, the Invisibility Spell is on the list of the must-know spells passed down by seniors.

Any little wizard with ideals will play the Invisibility Spell with great enthusiasm.

So for a moment, Draco couldn't guess which little wizard was coming.

He could only stay where he was and see what the little wizard wanted to do.

Suddenly, he smelled a sweet fragrance.

This fragrance made him feel familiar, as if he had just smelled it from somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Then there was a sense of oppression, and Draco's eyelids jumped. This little wizard came to the window just like him!

Draco hurriedly stepped back a few steps, feeling that it was a close call.

He almost collided with this little wizard!

What did this little wizard want to do? Did he want to open the window like him?

Draco felt something was wrong. Not every wizard was so desperate. He had a reason to open the window, but what about this person?

Suddenly, he thought of something, and he was a little nervous in an instant. His body was tense and his expression was serious.

If it wasn't for his own reasons like him, then opening the window at this time would undoubtedly be...

A spy sent from other places, responsible for creating terror in Hogwarts!

Thinking of this, Draco clenched his wand and silently aimed it at the place where he was standing.

Invisible pressure seemed to be gathering. Not only him, but Hermione, who was already standing in Draco's original position, was also very nervous.

In this nervous state, Hermione didn't tell that her position was very abnormal, such as there was a very light fragrance here.

She was also familiar with this scent, and there was also a rich aroma, like the fragrance of some plant essential oil.

Hermione took a few deep breaths, adjusted her state, and finally walked forward a few steps, and her hand touched the window.

Just as she stretched out her hand and slightly pressed the window, suddenly a voice exploded in her ears like a thunder:

"Expelliarmus!"

The familiar voice came, and Hermione's hand was blown away by some force.

With a "snap", her hand quickly turned red, but Hermione didn't care about it, but this voice...

Hermione said in disbelief: "Draco, why are you here?!"

Draco also heard the familiar voice, and was stunned, and asked in doubt: "Hermione? Why are you here?"

Hermione simply showed her true form and said speechlessly: "I asked you this question first, right?"

Draco also lifted the invisibility spell and appeared next to Hermione.

The two of them realized at this time that they were very close to each other.

Hermione rubbed her right hand with her left hand. No wonder the force that knocked her away was so strong. It turned out that Draco was standing next to her.

The two stood close to each other, and the distance between them was less than a slap!

Draco hesitated for a moment and said, "I feel that I have reached a bottleneck in practicing the Patronus Charm, so I want to face the fear itself and come here to fight the Dementors to see if I can stimulate my potential. What about you?"

The more he spoke, the stranger the expression on Hermione's face became.

This reason... How come it is exactly the same as hers?

Hermione hesitated for a moment and stammered, "We thought of the same thing. I also came here to practice the Patronus Charm."

Since they have come here, they don't want to fail. If they miss this time, they may not be able to muster up courage and confidence next time.

So the next second, the two said at the same time, "How about we go together?"

As soon as these words came out, the two were stunned at first, and then they both laughed.

Draco thought for a moment and said, "Just now I was thinking, what should I do if I still can't use the Patronus Charm when facing the Dementors.

Now it happens that you are by my side, you can save me in time."

Hermione smiled at first, then said solemnly: "You can't count on me, because I can't use the Patronus Charm either. In fact, we should go to find Lin Xia.

But I thought again that if she was there, it might not be enough to stimulate my instinct to resist, so I thought again and again, and still didn't call Lin Xia over."

Draco couldn't help but sigh: "That's right, it's for this reason that I didn't call Lin Xia, I came with the determination of 'if you don't succeed, you will die'."

Hermione has heard of this sentence and agrees with it.

But it must be said that when facing fear, there are companions, which is more or less reassuring.

Besides, since others have come, can we drive them away now?

Since it can't be done, we can only think in a better direction. At least with more people, there is a way out.

The two of them discussed whether they should go first or not, and finally settled it by playing rock-paper-scissors, and Draco finally got the first move.

Hermione stepped back, and at this time, neither of them used the invisibility spell to hide themselves.

One reason was that there was no one around, so they felt that they didn't need to.

Another reason is that if the invisibility spell is used, it is impossible to know the other party's status and whether the other party is in danger.

Although neither of them knows the Patronus Charm at the moment, if their companions really have an accident when facing Dementors, they will definitely not leave them alone.

Draco took a deep breath, adjusted himself, put his hand in front of the window, and then pushed it open hard!

Huh-huh-

The bleak wind drifted in through the cracks in the window, and Draco instantly felt a chill that penetrated his bones.

He felt like his hair was being blown around, as if he was facing a strong wind and huge waves.

Cold, too cold!

His body couldn't help but tremble violently. He held the wand tightly in his hand and looked directly at the dementors floating up and down in the night sky.

Dementors are actually easy to spot because their bodies are darker than the surrounding scenery and look like constantly moving blocks of dark black color.

Maybe Draco opened the window, and the dementors in the sky felt a breath of life, and there was the happy emotion they wanted there.

Just like a cat smelling fish, the dementors in the sky were like a hornet's nest being poked, and they all flew in Draco's direction.

This dark posture made Draco's heart beat rapidly, and his adrenaline immediately surged. He felt scared and excited at the same time.

As if in the blink of an eye, the dementors had floated around the castle, arriving on the fifth, fourth, and third floors...

"Call the gods to protect you!"

Draco nervously stretched out his wand and activated the Patronus Charm.

The first time, it didn't work.

At this time, the Dementors are already close at hand!

Draco had no choice, his mind went blank, he could only follow his instinct and continue to activate the Patronus Charm.

Quick, quick!

Arouse happy emotions and try to recall positive pictures, his parents, his good friends, all the times when he felt happy...

When casting the Patronus Charm, the wizard must recall happiness in order to combat the fear of the dementors.

The closer the danger is, the less afraid the wizard must be.

Draco was originally very scared, but as happy and happy pictures flashed through his mind, his mood was infected and he actually became excited.

He used all his strength, risked all his happy memories, and shouted with great power: "Calling the gods to protect you!"

The next moment, a bright and dazzling light rose from the top of his wand.

This ray of light was very weak, but it was like a beacon that would never go out in the dark night. As soon as the Dementor came close to Draco and came into contact with this ray of light, it let out a howl of pain and quickly avoided it.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

He succeeded!

Draco thought with great excitement.

He conquered the Patronus Curse and also conquered the Dementors!

This great confidence infected him, and he waved his wand again: "Call the gods to protect you!"

The next second, a ray of light that was even brighter than before rose from the top of the wand, illuminating Draco's entire body, like a glowing little light man.

The dementor finally stopped approaching Draco, and instead quickly backed away, trying to avoid it.

However, because Draco opened the window, Hermione's strange aura also leaked out.

The dementors couldn't do anything to Draco, but that didn't mean Hermione could resist them.

A dementor unknowingly took a detour, floated in through the crack in the window, and attacked Hermione——

Dementor's Kiss!

Hermione only felt a severe cold that was colder than the surrounding wind quickly approaching, and the floor she stepped on quickly formed layers of frost.

The floor is frozen!

Stab——

A harsh sound rang from her ears. Hermione turned around and saw that the wall next to her was also frozen!

Hermione's heart sank. This kind of vision... it was obvious that the dementors had arrived!

Her heart was beating rapidly and she became nervous. She waved her wand and said, "Call the gods to protect you!"

Hermione's voice was firm and strong, without Draco's initial hesitation.

Her mind is very powerful. In times of danger, she firmly believes that she can use the Patronus Charm, and she also firmly believes that she can repel the Dementors!

This determination affected her state of using magic spells. Scenes of happy scenes flashed through her mind. These happy emotions were turned into power at this moment and released through the wand!

Otter!

The first time she used the Patronus Charm, Hermione summoned her own Patronus, which turned out to be an otter!

The otter looked very smart. As soon as it landed on the ground with its white light, it quickly deterred the approaching dementors.

It showed its claws and took the initiative to fight off the dementors.

Hermione laughed happily.

Draco laughed too.

They succeeded, they defeated their past selves and used the Patronus Charm!

It was also because they were so happy that they ignored the sudden sound of footsteps on the floor.

"Let's take a look. The defensive magic array of Hogwarts has been issuing warnings, indicating that there is an invasion of dementors. We almost thought that a certain loophole was not blocked, but unexpectedly, two mice secretly opened the window. "

An arrogant voice sounded, and Snape appeared in front of the two of them, criticizing without hesitation.

"Perhaps these two timid mice will discover later that although they seem to have repelled all the dementors, there are still some fish that have slipped through the window and harassed the wizards who are still patrolling."

Then other wizards came quickly. They saw the Patronus Charm released by Hermione and Draco, and even noticed that Hermione already had the form of the Patronus Charm - an otter.

The professors’ eyes flickered.

Professor McGonagall waved the magic spell: "Call the gods to protect you!"

A cat jumped out from the top of the wand. This cat was very agile and jumped around quickly, fighting off the dementors lurking in the dark.

Only then did Draco and Hermione realize that there were so many dementors around, and they couldn't clean them out just by the two of them.

At this time, bursts of cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Professor McGonagall didn't say anything, but turned around and ordered the other professors: "No matter what, we have to do another patrol. This time everyone has to use the Patronus Charm to thoroughly check every corner of Hogwarts."

"As for you two," Mag said after a while, "come to my office tomorrow."

Snape's cold voice sounded: "Professor McGonagall, I think we should deduct points from them first."

His sharp eyes glanced at the two young wizards. He was a professional when it came to deducting points.

"Two little wizards wandered around Hogwarts late at night and let the dementors in without permission. I will deduct five from them——"

Before he finished speaking, McGonagall interrupted: "Gryffin and Hufflepuff will each deduct one hundred points!"

The previous dementors did not knock Draco and Hermione down, but this penalty frightened them so much that they almost fainted.

How long will it take to make up for such a serious deduction?

When it's over, they will definitely become the sinners of the entire academy.

When daytime comes, when all wizards see the Academy Cup, they will find that their academy's scores have dropped sharply!

Snape's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something. Professor McGonagall looked at him and said, "Let's start patrols quickly. I'm afraid that other students will be in danger."

Snape then looked away and said calmly: "Lucky guy."

Professor McGonagall once again focused on the two young wizards, "You two should return to the dormitory quickly and don't linger outside."

Draco and Hermione nodded like quails, but now they didn't dare to say anything.

Professor McGonagall closed the window herself, and as she passed by them, a calm voice suddenly sounded quietly in their ears.

"The Patronus Charm you cast is so beautiful."

Both Draco and Hermione's eyes lit up.

-

The long night finally passed, and the sun showed its face from a dark cloud.

Although the weather is still very cold, it is a sunny day today.

"Oh my God, what happened? Hufflepuff fell to second place, Gryffindor, who was originally third, fell to last, and Slytherin was actually first!"

A young wizard walked into the auditorium and subconsciously glanced at the largest college cup in the middle. He unexpectedly discovered that Slytherin had counterattacked without knowing it. (End of chapter)
