The hottest day of the summer was finally coming to an end, and the sky gradually darkened. On Mulan Road, Mulan Flower New Moon Street, three figures appeared outside an amusement park with a locked gate.
"Alajo, it's open." A woman's voice was lowered.
"Harry is inside, in the shop in front of us. We have delayed for too long, now we have to follow him closely." Allen stepped on the dry grass and walked forward.
The reason why they didn't send Maggie but tried to follow him personally was mainly because Allen also wanted to take the opportunity to take Luna and Hermione for a walk in the amusement park at night, which was basically empty, to relax.
The amusement park was as empty as the surrounding streets. The gate of the amusement park was opened by an invisible hand, and after a few seconds, it closed by itself.
"He's there." The three of them didn't continue to move forward. Although the light was dim, they could still see the boy with messy hair and round-rimmed glasses sitting on the swing. One of his arms was tied to the chain, and he looked at the ground with melancholy, swaying slowly from time to time.
"His scar looks painful again," Hermione saw Harry raise his hand to rub the scar on his forehead, and whispered worriedly.
On the swing, Harry was thinking about his own worries, and Allen, Luna, and Hermione who were secretly following Harry from afar, vigilantly observed the surrounding situation.
Night had fallen, and a hot and soft night had arrived. The air was filled with the warm smell of hay, and for a moment, only the low sound of vehicles on the road outside the railings of the amusement park could be heard.
A burst of noise broke the silence, and Harry looked up. The surrounding street lights cast a hazy light, and a group of figures was passing through the amusement park. One of them was loudly humming a vulgar song, and the others were laughing. There was also a slight tinkling sound, which was the sound of several expensive race cars being pushed by them.
The one leading was a Muggle, and Allen recognized him as Harry's cousin, Dudley Dersley, who was walking home accompanied by his gang of bad friends. Dudley was as tall and strong as before, but he no longer looked like a little fatty, but a muscular and strong young man.
They didn't notice Harry until Dudley said goodbye to his friends, and Harry jumped off the swing, walked out from under the tree, and began to walk back. After receiving the letters from his friends, the hostility in his heart lessened a lot, and he didn't want to have any conflict with the annoying Dudley.
However, things didn't go as he wished. Dudley was walking leisurely, and humming a tune, but the sudden change in the weather, and he quickened his pace, and jogged along the road that Harry had just passed by.
In a narrow alley, Dudley found Harry in front of him, and followed him into the alley. The empty alley was much darker than the two streets it connected, as there were no street lights. On one side of the alley was the wall of the garage, and on the other side was a tall fence. This environment made Harry's and Dudley's footsteps sound dull. Because of this, Allen and the other two stopped at the entrance of the alley, observing Harry and Dudley's movements.
"Why do you want to avoid me? Does that mean that your murderer godfather doesn't want you anymore? Those damn owls haven't come for a long time, so your friends don't want to talk to you anymore, right? "Dudley smirked, and his two thick and fat hands clenched into fists.
Harry, who was angry because of Sirius, pointed his wand at Dudley's heart, and said, "He hasn't been here for a while, and you dare to provoke me? You're not allowed to say such things again. "Harry said sternly," Do you understand? "
At this moment, Dudley suddenly shivered strangely, and took a deep breath, as if he had been doused with ice-cold water.
In the dark night, something strange happened. The dark blue night sky full of stars suddenly became pitch-black, without a trace of light — the stars, the moon, and the dim street lights at both ends of the alley, all disappeared. The rumbling of cars in the distance, and the rustling of leaves nearby, were also not heard. The warm and pleasant night suddenly became bitterly cold. They were surrounded by an impenetrable and silent darkness, as if a giant hand had covered the entire alley with a thick layer of cold curtains, making them unable to see anything.
Dudley's terrified voice pierced everyone's eardrums.
"What — what are you doing? Stop — stop! "
I didn't do anything! Shut up, don't move! "
"I — I can't see! I — I'm blind! I — "
"I told you to shut up!"
In the midst of Harry and Dudley's quarrel, Hermione took out her wand, trying to exorcise the huge hooded figure. In the darkness, the figure was silently sliding towards Harry. The figure was suspended high above the ground, and under the long robe, neither his feet nor his face could be seen. As he moved, it seemed to be swallowing the darkness bit by bit.
However, Allen's muffled male voice suddenly sounded in her mind, "Hermione, you promised not to help. Let Harry do it himself. You can save Harry once, but it's impossible for you to appear by Harry's side every time he's in danger. You have to believe in Harry, the prophecy tells me that he can release the Guardian Charm and successfully drive away the Dementors. "
Hermione nodded silently in the darkness and looked at Harry. After a moment of panic, Harry finally found his wand. He stumbled a few steps back and raised his wand.
"Summon the Guardian Deity!"
A cloud of silver smoke came out from the wand. The Dementors' movements slowed down, but the spell was not fully activated. Seeing the Dementors coming towards him, Harry tripped and took two steps back. Panic made his mind a blur. He focused his mind and said, "Summon the Guardian Deity!"
His voice sounded muffled and distant. Another cloud of silver smoke, thinner and weaker than before, came out from the wand. He was powerless. He could not finish the spell.
Hermione was anxious, but she did not do anything.
Click, click. Luna took the opportunity to film. She captured the scene of the Dementors grabbing Harry with his sticky, gray hands and attacking the Muggle Dali. Harry tilted his head in confusion. He recognized that it was the sound of a camera shutter, but he did not have time to investigate in the face of the Dementors' attack.
Panting hard, he thought of Jenny and the greetings he had received from Alan and the others recently. Finally, he waved his wand again and said in a voice so sharp that it didn't sound like his own. "Summon the Guardian of God!"
A huge silver stag shot out from the top of Harry's wand. Its two antlers pierced the Dementors' heart. The Dementors in front of him were knocked back, as weightless as the darkness around them. The stag circled around and rushed to the side. The other Dementors that had attacked Dali flapped aside like a bat and hurried away.
The moon, the stars and the street lights shone again. A warm breeze blew in the alley. The rustling of leaves in the neighbor's garden and the sound of cars on Magnolia Crescent filled the night sky.
Dali curled up on the ground, sobbing and trembling. Harry bent down to see if Dali could stand up. Just then, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps running behind him. He instinctively raised his wand and turned to face the newcomer.
Mrs. Figg, Harry's eccentric old neighbor, appeared in front of them, panting. Her gray and white hair spilled out of a hairnet, a net bag jingled on her wrist, and her feet almost slipped out of her plaid slippers. Harry was about to hide his wand when he heard —
"Don't hide it, silly boy!" she screamed. "What if there are other people around? Oh, I'll kill Mundungus Fletch! "
After Mrs. Figg led Harry and the rest away, Allen said to the two girls, "We can go back now. He's not in danger."
Back in Family Harris' tower, Allen took out some chocolate and gave it to Hermione and Luna. Although they were not directly facing the Dementors, it did not prevent them from eating a piece of delicious chocolate to adjust their mood.
"Will Foggy and the others really take Harry to court for using the Guardian Charm in front of Muggle? Article 7 of the Law on Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards clearly states that you can use magic in front of Muggle under special circumstances. Those special circumstances include when the wizard or other wizards or Muggle's life is in danger. Harry was attacked by two Dementors. Can't we print out the photos and give them to Harry now to prove his innocence so that he won't be taken to court? Also, will Mr. Owen be affected by the Dementors attacking innocent young wizards? According to convention, the Dementors should be under the deputy minister's jurisdiction. " Hermione swallowed the chocolate, but her mind was clear. She felt that there were more things to worry about.
"The Dementors should be under my father's jurisdiction, but Foggy doesn't want to lose control of the Dementors. He thinks that we need to preserve our strength to fight against the Aura that we have basically controlled. Besides, I don't like the Dementors at all. The reason why my father didn't insist on taking control of the Dementors was because of my suggestion. Foggy has a witch named Dolores Umrich. She knows what to do to please Foggy, and Foggy put the Dementors under her jurisdiction. When I recruited the Giants, I predicted that the Dementors would attack Harry, and they really did appear in the Little Huijin District. Umrich bought people's support in the Ministry of Magic and suppressed Professor Dumbledore's supporters. This time, it's very likely that it wasn't an accident. She secretly ordered the two Dementors to attack Harry. Even Foggy himself might not know about the attack. "
