Hogwarts becomes host

The good mood of playing with Hermione Cat was completely ruined by Adair.

Elaine had a rare nightmare that day.

The dream was a darkness, a darkness mixed with noise, the sound of running, the sound of water dripping, the sound of heavy objects falling, the sound of cutting, screaming, burning, laughter, wind, all kinds of sounds.

Then the ground cracked.

Quirrell, the death row prisoners, and unknown wizards huddled together in the crack. They screamed and stretched out their hands towards her; she struggled to leave, but there were too many enemies. Those people also used magic, and those madmen wanted to pull her away. She fell into darkness together──

The scene changed again the next moment. She was standing in the dark room, pulling the prisoner out and transforming him with black magic.

The murderous death row inmates were all frightened. They huddled together and cried frantically for mercy, but they didn't care. With a wave of the magic wand, they easily pulled out a big man and forced him to lie on the operating table.

At this moment, she happened to meet the man's eyes, and Elaine saw the reflection in his desperate pupils - a girl with blood-stained hands but a happy smile on her face.

By the time Daphne and Hermione finally woke themselves up, Elaine was already covered in cold sweat.

There is no logic at all. Those people are okay. Except for Quirrell who was killed by her, Adair was responsible for all the others. What does it have to do with her? Besides, Quirrell didn't have a few minutes to live. What was wrong with her helping him out?

But that’s what nightmares are, and it’s only ridiculous if dreams have logic.

It was still the same for the next few days. She couldn't sleep well and had nightmares every time she slept.

Lupine said that it might be because of too much pressure, no matter how hard Daphne tried to make her relax, and these bad things couldn't be explained to Hermione and others, so they could only use Adair as a shield and find any excuse to go home to raise a child. The elves live in their stronghold.

Although this was a good opportunity to communicate with the diary, considering her current mental state, Elaine did not dare to act rashly. She could only hope that these bad things would be resolved soon. Fortunately, the people at the Ministry of Magic had the same idea as her.

Two days later, the Wizengamot Inquisition set out.

***

There is only one way to get to Azkaban: a Ministry Portkey.

The combination of anti-Apparition and non-plottability made it impossible for people to see a certain location directly or mark it on a map, as well as various magics, which successfully cut off Azkaban from the entire world.

This is also the reason why Voldemort was unable to contact the dementors during the first war.

If Elaine wants to go to Azkaban, she must first go to the Ministry of Magic.

Wow, it feels like I haven’t seen the anchor live broadcast for a long time.

What the government announced is true. Dementors will affect us through the live broadcast room.

I don’t know, but it’s quite troublesome to ask someone to accompany you to watch. You’re basically bullying a single person.

When she appeared at the entrance of the Magic Department through the Floo network, wearing a robe embroidered with the Shafiq family emblem, the officials who were waiting for her were shocked.

"It's child's play to let a twelve-year-old girl be responsible for supervising executions." The leader, Minister of Magic Fudge, became furious and yelled at Elaine in a gaffe. "Where's Adair Shafiq? Tell him to come out."

"Looking at the big battle you have put up, I don't think anyone will fall into the trap." Elaine said from the bottom of her heart. "I don't want to come either, but he forced me to come. Do you think I have the strength to resist?"

There is also protective magic inside the Ministry of Magic. No matter who it is, even Voldemort or Dumbledore has to walk through a long corridor to enter. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic placed fifty Aurors and Strikers at the end of the corridor and in front of the gate, forming a semicircle and waiting for Adair to surrender.

Anchor, you are very popular. So many people from the Ministry of Magic came out to greet you. How about calling me my beloved?

They seemed to have arrived early, and Elaine was still wondering why the Ministry of Magic was so empty today.

Now that I think about it, it was probably through private contact that the Ministry of Magic staff were able to work late to avoid being affected.

"I've advised you a long time ago, Fudge." Dumbledore said, stroking his long beard. He was one of the few people present who did not raise his wand. "Adair is a very prudent person. After causing such a big incident, he will never enter the Ministry of Magic with such arrogance, no matter what conditions you put forward."

Elaine noticed that Dumbledore was wearing a purple robe today, with a delicate silver embroidered on the left chest - this was the standard dress of Wizengamot members. Behind him stood many wizards wearing the same clothes. These wizards Most were middle-aged or older, some putting away their wands.

"But he, he can't just throw his daughter over like this. We are going to Azkaban," Fudge yelled desperately, "How can this child be responsible for surveillance at such a young age in case she lets the prisoner escape? Woolen cloth"

"Minister, what you said is completely impossible to happen." An old witch standing behind Dumbledore snorted coldly, "We will all go to Azkaban. How are the prisoners flying in our noses and all over the sky? "Escape from prison under dementors is more ridiculous than an exploding cauldron."

"But Azkaban is indeed not a place for children." Another Wizengamot member said. "It's too gloomy and terrifying. Those dementors will also suck away all her happiness. It's impossible for a student of this age to use a protective spell."

"Minister, let Miss Shafiq go." A sharp girl's voice came from behind Fudge, which made Elaine's skin crawl. "We have no way of interfering in the internal affairs of the Shafik family. Since Mr. Adair requested it, whatever accident happened to Miss Shafik in Azkaban has nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic."

The witch who spoke wore a black velvet bow on her head, but instead of the fluffy pink cardigan in the movie, she wore a bright pink lace robe.

That robe matched her majestic face, and Elaine felt that her eyes were seriously hurt.

Four years have passed since Dolores Umbridge, and she has successfully been promoted from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures to the Minister's Office.

Wasn't this woman already imprisoned in Azkaban?

She was caught because she abused Muggle-borns after Lao Fu came to power. Now she is powerful.

By the time they are going to argue, host, how about you give them some confidence?

"You can rest assured, Deputy Umbridge." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I will not put my students in danger. I believe this is why Adair asked Elaine to come here."

As soon as Dumbledore spoke, the wrangling stopped immediately. Everyone looked at the Minister of Magic, but Fudge looked very, very bad.

But he finally approved Elaine's appointment to the Tribunal, and then left with a large group of people, without even speaking to Dumbledore before leaving. It seemed that he was increasingly worried that Dumbledore would take away his authority.

Why doesn't this idiot step down? Dad is already making such a fuss.

There is no way, most people in the magic world are pretending to be dead, no matter how much pressure I put on them, it will be useless

I understand, instead of solving the problem, why not solve the root cause of the problem?

Elaine entered the Ministry of Magic together with members of the Wizengamot. Most of the fifteen wizards in purple robes seemed quite nervous, but there were also a few old wizards and witches who grabbed Elaine and asked questions. Friends who like to take food to school ended up chatting about their parents, and then asked in a roundabout way about Adair's news.

They walked into the elevator, which was actually called a magic elevator - Elaine could clearly see that as more and more people came in, the wall behind her was slowly receding - and arrived at the Affairs Department on the basement floor.

The elevator door opened, and a simple and dark corridor lay in front of the crowd, with a simple black door at the end.

The live broadcast room was even more cheery, but Elaine couldn't go in. She followed the crowd and turned into the small staircase on the left. Below is the Wizengamot special courtroom. The special door key to Azkaban is kept in the courtroom. rear.

Once the verdict is finalized, it goes straight to Azkaban, which is convenient, concise and fast.

The courtroom seemed to have existed a long time ago, with rough stone walls and torches on brackets. The heavy wooden door has iron latches and keyholes embedded in it, and everything speaks of fear and antiquity.

The members of the Wizengamot walked to the small room behind the trial chamber in a familiar manner. Dumbledore put his hand on his chest, and the word mark on his robe began to glow, and then emerged from the robe and was printed on the heavy wooden door.

The wooden door slowly opened, and a dementor stood quietly behind it. The audience in the live broadcast room almost had a heart attack from fright. After taking a closer look, they realized that it was a statue of a dementor.

The workmanship is quite rough, and it looks fake at first glance.

Barrage riot.

A bunch of weird light, weird atmosphere, and other people who don't blame themselves for being timid are desperately trying to find excuses, but Elaine knows why this statue is scary.

It is wrapped with a lot of uncomfortable resentment and death, and the dark and deep magic is constantly exuding negative atmosphere. Muggle viewers cannot see the subtle magic, but the pictures and sounds can spread a little feeling. Sensitive people People are naturally frightened.

"This is a specially made statue. Unlike ordinary door keys, it will not follow us." Dumbledore explained to Elaine how to use it. "Put your hand on it and then input the magic power. The process is not comfortable, but There will be more things that will make you uncomfortable."

"I know." Elaine said helplessly.

However, during the actual operation, Elaine understood what Dumbledore said about the discomfort. The negative magic on the statue poured into her hand crazily. He took her hand and pulled it inward, but there was disgust inside. It's dark and chaotic, and you can see an obvious ominous atmosphere just by looking at it.

The audience in the live broadcast room could only see Elaine being sucked in, and then the screen instantly dimmed, indicating that the transmission would be interrupted for a while; but Elaine knew how disgusting the experience was, and it was even more uncomfortable than the ordinary portkey. .

Elaine has read about the design purpose of the Portkey: After positioning an object, it enters the magic dimension and moves at high speed. The user will be pulled into a super dimensional turbulence by the object. This magic dimension is somewhat similar to the high-dimensional space mentioned by Muggles. Because There are no physical laws in space, so users will experience side effects such as dizziness and short-term disorientation.

But this statue is completely unlike an ordinary door key: it has a stable fixed channel and does not have the side effects of a door key. It is not the object but the magic power that is responsible for guiding. Elaine feels like she is being pulled into a one-way tunnel by a perverted murderer. In the pipeline, at the same time, this perverted thought was also transmitted into the body through magic contact.

When Elaine reappeared in the world, her expression was the same as that of the wizards of the Wizengamot: gloomy, queasy, and disgusting. Probably every wizard would have such an expression when encountering this kind of magic with independent thoughts.

It was only a few seconds of transmission but it felt like a year had passed.

Elaine could still feel some of her emotions being taken away by the statue. No wonder no one liked coming to Azkaban.

More and more wizards were teleported over, and they had reached Azkaban. Another Dementor statue was just behind it, and the crowd was now in a small, old, decaying wooden room.

It seemed that no one had been in this room for a long time. Everywhere was dusty and lifeless. Moreover, the air in the room was very cold and the temperature was lower than usual. Elaine couldn't help but pull at her robe.

Although she hasn't seen the dementors yet, she can already feel them. Those things are surrounding the outside of the house and constantly breathing into the house. Elaine's mood is dropping rapidly along with her body temperature.

The same goes for other wizards. Some people pulled out their wands and began to summon the Patronus. Those who could enter the Wizengamot were high-level or elites in the magic world. The Patronus spell was not difficult for them.

Many silver animals surround the wizards, the most special of which is Dumbledore's Phoenix Patronus. The beautiful silver bird flies in the small space, and the slightest flapping of its wings brings warmth and good mood.

Elaine is one of the few wizards who has not summoned a patron saint. Although she knows the principle of this spell and has asked Lupine about how to use it, her attempts in the past few days have not been successful.

She couldn't even spray out the silver mist. But thinking about her recent mental state, failure is normal. Compared with black magic, this kind of pure white magic focuses more on the spirit rather than the magic power. Whether it can successfully summon the guardian God is closely related to the psychological state of the spell caster.

After Fred died in the battle, George could no longer use the Patronus Charm for the rest of his life.

Most importantly, Elaine has serious suspicions that the dark magic Adair is using is affecting her mentally.

Since they share the same body, and more importantly, Adair's soul fragments are embedded with Duchen's soul, when Adair uses black magic, the negative effects will naturally appear on Elaine.

Elaine is not yet a dark wizard, but her path has been led astray by Adair.

This may cause her to be completely unable to use the Patronus Charm in the future──when a dark wizard uses the Patronus Charm, he will only call out a lot of maggots, and these maggots will eat their bodies. Except for Snape, because of his love for Lily, Let his soul gain a little salvation.

But after all, dark wizards don't need the Patronus Charm at all.

This kind of spell is specially used to resist dark creatures, and they are not affected by dark creatures at all. In other words, their characters have long been twisted and evil under the influence of black magic, and the influence of dark creatures is not great.
