Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Night gradually fell, like a black curtain coming from the east. The Forbidden Forest first fell into darkness, and then Hogwarts Castle and the Quidditch pitch to the west slowly fell into silence.Although the lights in the castle were brightly lit, the faculty and students were not in the good mood of the past. Who knew that there were a group of monsters flying around not far away, and a murderer on the loose, and they could still feel calm and peaceful.

The prefects of each college carefully counted the students in their own college, and then blocked the door of the dormitory, but Cedric learned that Dudley had been detained by Lupin, but he didn't say anything. When the basilisk was raging last year, Didn't Harry also get detention from Lockhart?

In fact, Lupine had sneaked out of the castle and went to Hagrid's hut to look for his former friends, while Dudley had sneaked into the Forbidden Forest from another direction.

The Forbidden Forest at night is a quiet and mysterious world.The branches, leaves and trees were pale by the weak moonlight. The sound of the night wind blowing on the forest tops was mind-blowing. The occasional low calls from animals also seemed far more profound and quiet.

The depths of the Forbidden Forest are often shrouded in a thin layer of mist, like a fairyland.Thestrals and unicorns each have their own territory. They will go out at night to look for the young mushrooms that have just grown, and enjoy the cool spring water in the creek in the forest.

Dudley cast a little concealment spell for himself that he had learned from Grandma Tina, and walked carefully on the path in the forest. As long as he stayed in the dark and kept a low profile, most creatures would ignore his presence.

However, tonight was destined to not be a peaceful night. Not long after Dudley entered the Forbidden Forest, a mysterious figure appeared outside the tall wall a few kilometers away.

He was wearing a black and purple robe. The edges of the robe were covered with golden embroidery, which made him look gorgeous and luxurious. However, his wide sleeves were torn into pieces like a dementor's cloak. Even if there was no wind, these tatters would still remain intact. The cloth was also fluttering in all directions.

The broad hood clearly looked like a human being, except that it looked like its hair and eyebrows had been shaved off, and the bald head around the eye sockets was covered with strange words and symbols.

The weirdo's eyes looked at the high wall, and his pupils began to expand. After a while, his entire eyeballs turned strangely black. His expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile. He pointed toward the wall, and two black figures instantly appeared from behind him. He emerged from the darkness, crossed the wall, and flew towards the forbidden forest.

The centaurs are not nocturnal animals, but they will send patrols to roam around the territory at night to avoid being approached by giants or other dark creatures, including humans, of course.

Because he was considered too close to humans, Firenze was often not understood by his tribe. In order to reduce the embarrassment of collective hunting during the day, he chose to be a night scout, which was also a contribution to the tribe.

Firenze also likes to walk in the Forbidden Forest at night, quiet and peaceful, but these days are not easy for him. Someone at Hogwarts has notified their tribe that because a vicious dark wizard escaped from prison, the Ministry of Magic A large number of dementors were sent to patrol the surroundings, which frightened the entire centaur tribe and once again complained against the wizards.

Firenze didn't know how cruel the black wizard who escaped from prison was, but in his opinion, no matter how bad the wizard was, he couldn't compare to the evil of dementors. They were not interested in many animals, but the emotions and souls of centaurs Not much different from humans, they are naturally threatened by dementors.he released

Bain, the patriarch, was also under great pressure and ran through the forest with Firenze. At least the wizards had the Patronus Charm to drive away the dementors, but the centaurs were running naked in front of the dementors, so they could only strengthen their vigilance. , remind the tribesmen to take shelter in time.

But the more you fear, the more likely it will come. The nightingale that Firenze used as a helper sensed the danger first and flew back with a loud scream. Then, Firenze saw two black figures emerging from the woods. That tall body, jet black cloak, body as pale as a rotting corpse, who else could it be if it wasn't a dementor?

"Let's go!" Firenze was shocked, but his words were already too late. Bain had already turned his hand, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow at the flying Dementor without hesitation.

Bain was very skilled with the bow, his arrows were flying very fast, and he had the accuracy to pierce the sky with a hundred steps. But when he flew in front of the dementors, it seemed as if he hit an invisible glass wall, and the arrows broke apart.

The Dementor waved his hand, and the arrows fell to the side. They twisted their necks as if silently mocking Bain.

"Bows and arrows are ineffective against them!" Firenze said anxiously. He wanted to pull Bain away, but Bain shot another arrow unbelievingly. This arrow was more powerful, and its penetrating power even exceeded that of many firearms, but it fell On the Dementor's chest, the arrow cracked again, and the arrow shaft bounced to the side.

This time he succeeded in irritating the dementors. They roared like strong winds pouring into a deep cave, and flew towards him from left to right.

Firenze was shocked, grabbed Bain's arm, and stopped him from shooting the third arrow. Dementors are not ordinary monsters, and they are not opponents that they can defeat by working together, cooperating seamlessly, and fighting hard. There are only two ways to go. Either rely on four agile hooves to keep distance from the dementors and remind the tribe to flee; or lead the dementors away and pull them in the direction of Hogwarts, where they can ask The professors of the Patronus Charm helped them drive away the dementors.

Bain decisively chose the first path. Since bows and arrows were ineffective, he was thinking about how to warn and organize evacuation to prevent dementors from breaking into the unsuspecting village and harming innocent tribesmen.

But they underestimated the speed of Dementors. A common phenomenon is that flying is always faster than running.

Just when a dementor was about to get a few feet closer to Firenze's back, if it stretched out its hand, it could use its unique mind control ability to directly grab Firenze in mid-air, and then slam it onto the ground. Take away their ability to escape.

A ray of light suddenly shot out from the woods on the side, incredibly fast, followed by a muffled sound, and the dementor chasing behind Firenze was hit on the head by something extremely strong, emitting a burst of blue light. The Dementor was directly blown away. Firenze took the opportunity to escape from the clutches and put some distance between himself and the Dementor.

"It's Dursley!" Firenze was slightly happy. He only knew Dudley could use this kind of weapon that could be fired from a long distance, and he immediately guessed who the helper was.

Bain naturally realized it. He turned around and shot another arrow, but the arrow was not even accurate. The dementor easily dodged it. Of course, even if it didn't dodge, the flying arrow would be useless to it.

Firenze looked back and saw that the overturned Dementor shook its head. It was fine and flew up again.Firenze couldn't help being disappointed, but he still rushed in the direction of the bullet.

Dudley put away his fusion gun and jumped out of the bushes. He immediately took out his flying broomstick from the magic package and flew towards Firenze.Unexpectedly, he noticed the cold feeling brought by the Dementors as soon as he entered the Forbidden Forest. Unexpectedly, he happened to save Firenze's life. Although his fusion gun could not kill the Dementors, it could at least hinder it. Their actions are just that the cost of this hindrance is a bit high.

"Try using natural magic to deal with them!" Dudley flew to Firenze and shouted at him.

Firenze was stunned by what Dudley said, looking confused.

"For example, summoning plants to trap them, or using natural magic such as moonfire and starfire to attack them!" Dudley said anxiously. He didn't know what natural magic in this world looked like. He had seen it before. to speculate on the use of natural energy in other literary works.

Firenze shook his head at him and said, "I'm counting on your wizard's Patronus Charm! Quickly cast one!"

Dudley suddenly felt embarrassed: "I'm only in the second grade!" Firenze was speechless.

Since they had no other options, the two of them could only apply oil on the soles of their feet and use the lush vegetation of the Forbidden Forest and their familiarity with the forest roads to see if they could get rid of the Dementors.

"Don't you know any natural magic?" Dudley couldn't speak very clearly as his mouth was filled with wind, "Healing magic or something like that will work too!"

"We are just praying to the Mother of the Forest, asking for some natural energy to cure diseases! How can those magics you mentioned exist?" Firenze shouted as he ran.

Dudley gritted his teeth, swung his broom horizontally, blocked Firenze's path, took out a large handful of Magnum bullets from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand. Pray try it!”

Firenze: "What?"
