Chapter 413: Dementors: Our Hero Will Return!
As a Wizard, Ivan was not particularly concerned about the fate of the Dementors. After all, the Ministry of Magic was unlikely to eliminate them all.
With that thought, Ivan dragged the sack and left the area during the chaos, intending to find the nearest secret passage to the location where he had agreed to meet Harry.
Shortly after Ivan left, several professors and the Aurors in charge of guarding the area managed to fully suppress the rioting Dementors.
Dolores Umbridge looked angrily at the Dementors trapped in a small circle, immediately wanting to order their execution for offending her and making her look foolish.
But such thoughts were only in her mind; her anger had not completely clouded her reason. So, Umbridge knew that even if she issued such an order, the Aurors and Hogwarts professors would not carry it out.
"Olderman, find out what happened! Why did those Dementors suddenly attack me?" Umbridge glared furiously at the accompanying Auror.
Hearing this, the Auror named Olderman nodded, made some strange sounds to communicate with the Dementors, and then turned to Umbridge to speak.
"These Dementors say that you were the first to attack their companion and were planning to punish them severely, so they decided to fight back."
"Nonsense!" Umbridge erupted in anger, furious.
She had indeed said those words, but it was just a threat to force a Dementor to make the right decision.
The more she thought about it, the angrier Umbridge became.
She considered herself to have been quite merciful to these disgusting creatures, repeatedly giving them chances and even helping to exonerate them, yet they showed no gratitude.
"Ask them again where the Dementor that was guarding the entrance is. Find it for me!" Umbridge, thinking of the instigator, said through gritted teeth.
Although she could not do much to the entire group of Dementors, she could not let the offense go unpunished. Executing the Dementor that dared to defy her would serve as a warning to the others.
The Aurors nodded and began communicating with the Dementors.
After a while, the communication seemed to hit a roadblock, and the Dementors suddenly became agitated.
As intelligent beings, the Dementors would never hand over their companion who had awakened their sense of freedom. However, after a private discussion, they realized that one of their number was missing—the fluent-speaking hero had vanished!
For a moment, the Dementors were both sorrowful and angry. They believed that Ivan must have sacrificed himself in the recent battle, dying a heroic death!
Thinking of this, the Dementors grew increasingly restless.
Unfortunately, when Mcgonagall and the others noticed the disturbance, they immediately cast the Patronus Charm again. The Dementors' unrest was quickly suppressed by the powerful Patronuses.
However, these unyielding creatures still expressed their discontent verbally, with a howling wind continuously echoing in the air.
"What's going on? I just asked them to point out the Dementor that incited the riot. What did they say?" Umbridge could not understand why the Dementors had become so agitated.
Olderman, having understood the Dementors' broken words, grew increasingly bewildered. He spoke.
"These Dementors say that their great hero was killed by our people in the battle just now, so they are very angry and demand an explanation from us."
Dolores Umbridge almost thought she had misheard. These Dementors actually considered the guy who provoked the Ministry of Magic's senior investigator to be a great hero?
Before she could speak, the accompanying Aurors continued.
"They also feel that they are being treated unfairly and are demanding that the Ministry of Magic provide them with sufficient food every day and regular vacations. Otherwise, they plan to go on a collective strike!"
The Auror pieced together the fragmented words of the Dementors and reported them truthfully to Dolores Umbridge.
Mcgonagall, Flitwick, and others who heard this had very peculiar expressions. They had assumed that this Dementor uprising was just a result of their chaotic nature, but they never expected these seemingly evil creatures to actually want vacations and strikes?
Dolores Umbridge was so angry that she laughed. She had never heard such an absurd request! In her view, the Ministry of Magic was already showing great mercy by not completely eradicating these disgusting monsters and was willing to hire them.
However, the Dementors were very determined. Although their hero had sacrificed himself in the previous battle, that spirit remained deeply ingrained in their hearts!
[Ding, a new legendary event has been generated!]
On the other side, Ivan, who had just emerged from the secret passage, heard the system prompt in his mind and opened the system panel with a puzzled look.
[Legendary Title: Great Hero (Dementor Limited Edition)
Legend Points: 1
Legendary Deed: All Dementors will never forget this day, when the Dementor that could speak fluently at the crossroads brought the belief of freedom to this race!
Note: Despite rumors that the unnamed hero died in the battle, many Dementors are willing to believe a legend: the unnamed hero has not died but is hiding somewhere, and when the race is in danger, the hero who speaks fluently will return!]
"Are these Dementors poisoned?" Ivan stared at the sudden legendary event, stunned for a long time before finally muttering in frustration.
He had merely tricked these monsters into fighting Dolores Umbridge and then fled, but he never expected these not-so-bright Dementors to imagine such a scenario.
While feeling speechless, Ivan had a sudden thought. His dark minion task might be completed in another way.
Ivan considered several plans but shook his head. After this uprising, the Dementors would definitely be strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic.
Although he could take some risks and use his new ability to rescue these Dementors, and then use this to boost his reputation and gather a group of followers in the form of a Dementor, it might help him complete the task.
But what about afterward? He had no place to house these Dementors, and he certainly didn't have enough food to meet their daily needs.
It wouldn't be right to complete the task and then abandon these Dementors, leaving them to fend for themselves.
If he did that, hundreds of hungry and uncontrolled Dementors would be a disaster for the magical world. Before the Ministry of Magic's Aurors could deal with them, countless innocent Wizards would suffer and have their souls devoured.
