Forbidden Forest, in a territory near the outside.
The temperature here is much colder than the surroundings, and even the tree trunks are covered in frost.
There are no small animals left in this territory and a sense of despair in the entire area.
At this moment, there are more than fifty Dementors lurking here.
They float aimlessly in the air, their black robes making them look creepy and strange.
The Dementors that had left Azkaban to come to Hogwarts numbered over a hundred.
They were divided into two groups, taking turns guarding different entrances and exits of the school.
After all, Dementors are living beings and also get tired.
The current group of Dementors that are here now have just finished work and returned.
A smaller-sized Dementor floated next to another.
"Big brother, it's so suffocating here. We might as well go back to Azkaban," the smaller Dementor said.
The other Dementor bumped into his younger sibling.
"Shut up! Do you think I'm not suffocating?"
There was some anger in his tone.
In fact, the reason these Dementors left Azkaban is because the prisoners inside have been providing less and less pleasure.
After all, since a group of Death Eaters were captured and sent to Azkaban over a decade ago.
There have been very few wizards sent there by the Ministry of Magic.
And those Death Eaters who have been imprisoned live in despair every day.
How can they generate enough happiness to serve as food for Dementors?
This has also led to many Dementors not having had a good meal in a long time.
So when they heard about the opportunity to come to Hogwarts, where wizards gather, they eagerly signed up.
In the end, only the more powerful Dementors got this opportunity.
But who knew that they would encounter Arthur on the way, Not only were several of their brothers dealt with, but they were also warned by the Ministry of Magic.
The Dementor's younger sibling, who had been bumped, didn't feel annoyed and floated back to his big brother.
"Big brother, why don't we secretly sneak into the school and cause some trouble? Even if we are seen, the human wizards won't be able to determine who is who."
It has to be said that this Dementor's little brother is so evil that he even tricks his own kind.
The Dementor big brother pondered for a while and also rejected his younger sibling's suggestion.
"Do you think I don't want to go? But I'm afraid of encountering that human dwarf from last time. If he catches us, then it's really over."
Thinking of Arthur's ruthless methods, he was still a bit afraid.
Hearing his big brother's words, the Dementor's younger sibling also got scared.
Damn it, he's scared too.
"Sigh~"
The two Dementors sighed at the same time.
However, the two Dementors didn't notice that a few raindrops fell near a nearby tree but disappeared before reaching the ground.
Arthur was standing there, just hearing the conversation between the two Dementors.
Although the Dementors were speaking their own language, Arthur could still understand what they meant.
Most wizards could understand the Dementor language, but when faced with Dementors, all they feel is fear.
They don't have the ability to think what the Dementors are actually saying because of fear.
And after listening to the conversation between the Dementors, Arthur's mood became a bit complicated.
It seems like these two Dementors are a bit social.
And they even called him... a dwarf?
Arthur looked at himself, fourteen years old and 1.75 meters tall. He shouldn't be considered short, right?
As Arthur looked at these two Dementors, his gaze slowly became dangerous.
However, there were also many other Dementors nearby, so Arthur wouldn't immediately take action. Dementors don't have eyes.
They normally rely on smell and emotions to perceive humans.
Arthur used magic to shield his own presence and used the Occlumency technique to control his emotions from leaking out.
These Dementors didn't detect him at all.
Arthur didn't have to wait long before these very sociable Dementors started feeling a little hungry.
They left the group to search for magical creatures in the distance.
Although the emotions they provided were not as large as humans, it would be enough to fill their appetite.
Arthur quietly followed them. Along the way, all the creatures that encountered the Dementors were trembling in fear.
Arthur even saw two small rabbits faint from fright.
"Big brother, look at how fat these two rabbits are. Aren't they better?"
The younger Dementor floated above the two rabbits and said to his big brother.
"You idiot! You're a Dementor. What are you talking about eating rabbits for?"
The big brother's emotional fluctuations became somewhat intense, and his robes rustled in the wind.
He couldn't believe how foolish his younger brother was.
Ever since he was bribed with a roasted chicken by a prisoner at Azkaban, he became curious about human food.
"Don't act recklessly. We were warned by that powerful old man with a white beard. We can't harm the creatures here,"
The Dementor warned his younger sibling, concerned about him.
The younger brother reluctantly agreed.
Arthur couldn't help but want to laugh at the back.
These two Dementors seemed a bit ridiculous.
Arthur made up his mind. He wanted to keep both of them.
However, they didn't seem like the type of monsters who only knew how to eat.
They even remembered Dumbledore's warning, which meant they had some brains.
That's good, Arthur could properly "communicate" with them.
He hoped the Dementors could control the level of their emotional feeding.
This way, when training Hermione and the others, there could be a slow process.
Arthur was worried that they wouldn't be able to handle the pressure if the Dementors went full force from the beginning.
Finally, after walking for a while, the two Dementors couldn't find any more animals.
"Big brother, there are no more creatures in this area. Let's go back,"
The younger Dementor suggested. The big brother didn't say anything but flew back the way they came.
At this moment, Arthur saw that the timing was right and made his move.
An invisible barrier appeared in the air, instantly trapping the two Dementors and Arthur together.
The older Dementor noticed that something was wrong and stopped flying, scanning the area.
"What's wrong, big brother?"
The younger Dementor was confused and didn't understand why his older brother suddenly stopped flying.
