Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Ye Feng: "Pfft~"

Cornelius: (╯｀□′)╯~ ╧╧

"That's enough, you two! I've known you for a long time, come and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

Ye Feng and Grindelwald: ( ?▽?)/ ▔ (magic wand)

Connelly:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Dumbledore: (?_?)

"Alright, Ye Feng, Grinwald, put your wands down. I think Minister Cornell was just joking, right?"

Connelly: "Gellert Glennward?"

Grindelwald: "Oh? Finally noticed me? Looks like my identity has been exposed. Looks like I'll have to go all out..."

"Alright, Gellert, stop scaring our Minister. But Minister Cornelius, the Dementors have indeed gone out of control, and not just after arriving at Hogwarts, but on the way here. They suddenly surrounded the Hogwarts Express and started absorbing the happy memories of the Hogwarts students."

"Impossible, Dementors would never do that so easily..."

"Minister, Minister Connelly..." However, Connelly was interrupted by his subordinates before he could finish speaking.

"In fact, Dementors are easily attracted to people's happiness. Back in Azkaban, we often encountered Dementors disobeying orders while feeding on the happiness of Azkaban's prisoners, so..."

Although the man hadn't finished speaking, no one in the room was a fool, and these words left the Minister of Magic dumbfounded. He naturally knew that Dementors could go out of control, but he never expected that his subordinate would expose him in public, making him lose face.

Having been publicly humiliated, Connelly couldn't continue with his previous excuse, so he immediately changed his approach and continued, "Okay, even if Dementors go out of control, surely not all of them will, right? And even if all of them did go out of control, they wouldn't all go after Mr. Ye Feng, would they?"

"According to our statistics, twelve Dementors sent by the Ministry of Magic were lost on the way, while eight of the guards at Hogwarts were lost, and these eight were distributed at different intersections."

"How do you explain this?"

"You're not one of Black's accomplices, are you? Otherwise, why would you attack the Dementors?"

“That’s right, you must be Black’s accomplice. You attacked the Dementors because they discovered Black, and you were helping him escape!”

Ye Feng: (￣ー￣)

It has to be said that this minister has quite a vivid imagination, but unfortunately his ideas are a bit ridiculous.

"Okay, I'll confess. I did capture those Dementors, but not for any random reasons like helping Black. I just thought Dementors were interesting, so I captured a few to study."

"Many people on the Hogwarts Express can attest to this."

Cornelius, Dumbledore, and others: ...

Ye Feng's words stunned everyone instantly, but Connelly was furious after a moment of stunned silence.

"Do you take me for a child? Capturing Dementors for research. Headmaster Dumbledore, you need to discipline this student properly."

"By the way, Mr. Ye Feng, although your performance just now has temporarily cleared you of suspicion for helping the wanted criminal Black, you are still on my list of suspects."

Ye Feng: (￣┏Д┓￣°*) I still prefer your unruly self from earlier. Try to calm down.

Seeing Cornelius turn and leave, Feng couldn't tell whether he was really acting to provoke him or just trying to save face. Before his attitude changed, Dumbledore and Grindelwald took a step forward to protect him from behind.

Connelly: I want to find someone to blame, but I'm not stupid. Dumbledore and Grindelwald are openly protecting you. If I still insist on going against them, what's the difference between that and suicide?

Chapter 152 The entire army was wiped out

Cornelius left with his subordinates, and Ye Feng was also called back to class by Dumbledore. The next day, Ye Feng heard that the Ministry of Magic had taken the Dementors back because on the night they arrived, a Dementor had gone out of control and attacked Hogwarts students.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone at the time, so although the unlucky guy was stunned on the spot by the absorption, the Dementor was also reduced to ashes by a talisman from his classmate who was with him. The unlucky guy is still unsteady on his feet because he was so weak from the absorption.

Harry: Thanks, don't Q

The news that talismans could directly attack Dementors spread quickly, and because of this, many students started giving Dementors strange looks.

Ye Feng had only heard rumors, but apparently, although the Ministry of Magic reacted quickly and 'took' the Dementors back, they still found several missing when they counted them. Those few had simply vanished without a trace.

So, when he was having dinner that evening, Dumbledore had to solemnly announce a school rule.

"In light of what some of our Hogwarts students have done while the Ministry of Magic has stationed Dementors there, I hereby solemnly announce a few school rules:"

From this day forward, Hogwarts students are forbidden from using charms indiscriminately to capture Dementors, and even more so from dissecting and studying captured Dementors.

When he said this, Dumbledore first turned his head and glanced at Ravenclaw, and then turned back to look at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng: (O_o)??

"Cough cough~"

"Secondly, the Dementors are Azkaban's guards..."

"Once, once, now the Ministry of Magic has decided to no longer use Dementors as guards of Azkaban." Dumbledore was interrupted by the Minister of Magic, who had not yet left, before he could finish speaking, which made Dumbledore give him a displeased sidelong glance.

Cornelius: Σ(?д?)

"Please continue, I promise I won't interrupt you again."

With just one look, Connelly immediately cowered. He had no choice but to back down. Others might not recognize Grindelwald because of his age, but Connelly had received confirmation from him personally.

That's Grindelwald, the former Dark Lord, and also Dumbledore's best friend in the past, no, in the present. If these two get together and really do something, even Voldemort would have to kneel down. So it's not shameful for him to back down.

Seeing Cornelius back down, Dumbledore turned back and continued, "Although the Dementors are no longer the guardians of Azkaban, they have guarded Azkaban for so many years. They deserve credit for their hard work, even if they haven't done anything particularly meritorious. We cannot discriminate against them just because they are monsters that feed on the fond memories of humans (Isn't that right? All the happiness has been sucked away, and all that's left is fear (●'?'●))."

"Therefore, the new school rule I am announcing the next day is: Hogwarts students are not allowed to capture Dementors themselves, nor can they obtain Dementors by hiring others to capture them, purchasing them, or using talismans to turn them into puppets and control them."

As he said this, Dumbledore glanced at the area where Slytherin was, then turned and gave Ye Feng a quick look.

Ye Feng: ￣へ￣

"Dementors may move and need to eat, but they are different from us humans. What they need is human happiness, not our delicious food. Therefore, I hereby announce the third new school rule: From today onwards, all Hogwarts students are forbidden from feeding Dementors, especially desserts!!!"

Ye Feng: Pfft~

Dumbledore: (｀へ?)

Upon hearing such an impolite voice, Dumbledore immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ye Feng with an obedient expression.

Ye Feng: (〃'▽'〃)

Dumbledore: ￣へ￣

"Hmph, keep laughing, it's your turn next."

Dumbledore gave a soft hum and withdrew his gaze, then scanned the room before finally settling on Gryffindor, whose face showed a look of relief.

"Although Dementors can be attacked or even countered by talismans, this does not change the fact that they are extremely terrifying magical creatures. Even the places they walk on will freeze due to the sudden drop in temperature. We must never provoke them casually, let alone use them as tools to train magic or gain combat experience."

"Therefore, the fourth new school rule today is: unless the Dementors have an aggressive tendency towards us or have already attacked us, we are absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to attack the Dementors, let alone deliberately lure them into attacking us and then retaliate to capture them."

At this point, Dumbledore gave Harry a look of disappointment, then glared at Ye Feng.

Harry: (；′⌒`)

Ye Feng: (￣.￣)

"The above four school rules were only established because of Dementors, but many of you will probably never come into contact with Dementors again in the future, so these school rules are not really binding on you. But the following school rules are different, and you must keep them in mind."

"Given that some students have captured Dementors for research out of interest, and even tried to put them in alchemy furnaces to refine them, which resulted in an explosion that nearly collapsed the common room, the school has decided, after careful consideration, to prohibit Hogwarts students from refining pills in common areas, and to prohibit the use of dangerous materials as raw materials when refining pills."

At this point, Dumbledore turned and gave Ye Feng a deep look. This time, Ye Feng had no doubts, because Dumbledore was already reading out his ID card.

"Oh, in light of the incidents mentioned above, we have added a new school rule after discussion: From now on, unless there is danger, the use of attack talismans is not allowed within Hogwarts, and it is even more forbidden to use attack talismans to attack others. This is absolutely prohibited."

"Alright, that's all for today. Let's eat." With that, Dumbledore tapped his cup, and suddenly a large amount of food appeared on the table.

Because he was in a hurry to capture Black and then to investigate the disappearance of the Dementors, Cornelius had not yet tasted the food in the Hogwarts dining hall.

He didn't think much of the food at Hogwarts. After all, it was just a school cafeteria, how could it compare to the food prepared by the Minister of Magic's personal chef? The two were not even in the same league in terms of ingredients.

But when the food was served, he was stunned. There wasn't a single dish on the table that was the same as the others. What was even more absurd was that the dishes from the four colleges below had different focuses, and the dishes on each row of tables were also different.

Of course, although Connelly was a little shocked by the abundance of dishes, he didn't care too much. After all, no matter how beautiful or luxurious they were, they were useless if they didn't taste good. Moreover, he preferred traditional dishes to these pretty but chopped-up vegetables.

Perhaps taking this into consideration, two-thirds of the dishes on the Ministry of Magic's table were traditional dishes, such as baked foie gras. But after they tried the Chinese food with a try-it-out mentality, their eyes lit up instantly, and then they never touched the food they had previously loved again.

These dishes were all modified by house-elves. Although Ye Feng kept saying they weren't authentic, and he and Zhang Qiu had always used a different method, you have to admit that these modified dishes suited their tastes better. So even the people from the Ministry of Magic were instantly captivated.

Chapter 153 Calculating the area of ​​Boggart's psychological trauma

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and after the meal, the Minister of Magic, who had originally intended to say something harsh, simply left. However, before leaving, he instructed them to notify the Ministry of Magic immediately if they had any news about Black.

Ye Feng and Dumbledore readily agreed to the request, but whether they would be notified in advance was another matter.

With the Dementors gone, Hogwarts returned to normal, and Professor Lupin, who taught them Defense Against the Dark Arts, was visibly smiling more. In a good mood, he decided to let his students try out how to defend against Dark Magic attacks.

"Boggart, it's decided, it's you!"

Boggarts are magical creatures that can transform into the most feared thing by those who see them. However, Lupin did not realize that Hogwarts had undergone a slight change since Ye Feng's arrival, so he might regret his decision today.

Of course, that was later; at least for now, he still thinks it's a fantastic idea.

So, when class officially started, Ye Feng's classmates saw their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher lead them to a large cabinet whose exterior was entirely made of mirrors.

"哐~"

Although the cabinet was closed, the students in class knew that what was inside was definitely not to be trifled with, because even though it was locked up, the thing inside was still restless and kept banging against the cabinet, trying to break out.

Lupin looked at the students standing neatly in front of the cabinet and nodded in satisfaction.

"Isn't it amazing? Can any of you guess what's inside?"

"It's a Boggart."

“Very good, Mr. Thomas.”

"Thump~" As he spoke, the cabinet shook violently again. However, what puzzled Lupin was that the students did not show any fear on their faces. Instead, they seemed eager to try. Some students had already raised their hands slightly, and judging from their posture, they were definitely planning to take out their wands.

Although slightly puzzled, Lupin continued, "Can anyone tell me what Boggart looks like?"

“Nobody knows. Boggarts can shapeshift. Whatever the person who sees them is most afraid of, that’s what they become. That’s why they are so…so terrifying.” This time, Hermione finally spoke up, and Lupin was very satisfied with Hermione’s answer. However, he was slightly puzzled when he saw Ye Feng next to Hermione.

Yes, he was puzzled, because Ye Feng's expression was neither fear nor curiosity, but deep thought, as if he was really thinking about what Boggart was like.

However, since they had already been there for so long and Lupin had witnessed Ye Feng's 'miracle,' Lupin didn't pay too much attention to it and continued, "Very good. What you need to do next is to overcome your fear and use the spell I taught you to lock Boggart back in the box."

"Alright, now don't use your wands, please repeat after me 'Ridiculous' (laughing)."

"Of course, spells alone cannot defeat Boggarts. What can truly defeat them is laughter. You must dispel the fear in your heart while chanting the spell and imagine it as something you find laughable."

"Next, does anyone want to come up and try?"
