Chapter 79 - Verify It

The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent. Seeing this, Coven was stunned and could not help but stop talking.

The professors weighed the pros and cons and communicated with each other with their eyes, tacitly unifying the idea.

“Albus!”

Flitwick deserved to be called Dean Ravenclaw, his attitude towards knowledge was the most rigorous, and he was also the most passionate, so he could not help but speak first, “Write a letter to Ministry of Magic and ask them to transfer a ‘Dementor’ over!”

“Filius, don’t worry about it for now.” Dumbledore smiled and slowly nodded. “I will take care of this matter. Let us hear what little Coven has to say first.”

“Ah? Oh! Sorry.” Flitwick reacted, then looked at Coven and waved his hand. “Little Coven, please continue. I am a little too excited.”

Of course, Coven did not mind, so he smiled at Professor Flitwick and waved his hand, indicating that it did not matter, and then said, “After we have Dementors, we can use the emotional curse to experiment on him… We will feed Dementors negative emotions and positive emotions, so it will be easy to verify my conjecture.”

After hearing this, Professor Sprout nodded happily. “It is a very clear idea. We can indeed try this method.”

“Alright then… It seems that we will have to sleep late today.” Dumbledore saw this and joked, “I will personally go to Ministry of Magic now. I will be back after dinner time.”

Dumbledore acted like a swift and decisive person. After making a decision, he asked everyone to gather in the office after dinner and then left Hogwarts through the fireplace in the dean’s room.

Obviously, in order to avoid any accidents, Dumbledore was prepared to personally escort a ‘Dementor’ to school.

After Dumbledore left, the remaining professors in the room praised Coven. Only Professor Snape was still a little tsundere and went out first…

……

After dinner, everyone gathered in the Headmaster’s office again.

Now there was a very tall black wardrobe in the office, and there was a slight collision sound from time to time.

Everyone knew what was in the wardrobe.

Snape was busy with something and was the last to arrive.

As soon as he entered the office, Snape continued to look at Coven with a malicious look and said, “Dementors is here. Should we invite Mr. Quinn, the genius, to personally verify his great conjecture?”

Dumbledore looked at Snape in surprise. Then he thought of something and chuckled. He did not express his opinion.

Professor Sprout might have guessed something, so she remained silent. She just smiled and shook her head.

Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall were different. Almost as soon as Snape finished speaking, the two of them anxiously retorted.

“No!” Professor Flitwick almost jumped up. “Little Coven hasn’t learned’ Patronus’ yet!”

“No!” Professor McGonagall acted like a hen protecting its cubs. She opened her hand and blocked Coven behind her. “How can you let a student face such a dangerous creature!”

“Humph!” Snape did not refute but looked at Coven again with disdain.

“Headmaster.” Coven, who was protected by Professor McGonagall, said, “I want to give it a try.”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Coven in surprise.

“Coven!” Professor McGonagall turned around and was about to advise.

Shaking his head, Coven looked up at Professor McGonagall and smiled. “Don’t worry, Professor. Even if I don’t know ‘Patronus,’ I should be able to guarantee my safety.”

Turning to look at Dumbledore and Headmaster, Coven said, “Besides, Headmaster and the professors are here. Even if something goes wrong with my experiment, the professors can ensure my safety in time, right?”

“Hmph!” Snape snorted again, “You Gryffindor, Are you brave or reckless?”

“Alright, alright, Severus.” Professor Sprout chuckled and tried to smooth things over. “You should stop talking. Don’t let little Coven misunderstand.”

Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall, who were most protective of Coven, calmed down at the same time and swallowed the words they wanted to refute.

Obviously, the misunderstanding that Professor Sprout mentioned was also meant for the two of them. It was a reminder to them not to worry too much about Coven and ignore Snape’s unforgiving personality.

“Alright…” Dumbledore saw things clearly. Seeing that Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall had calmed down, he smiled and responded to Coven, “I agree, but you still need to be careful.”

“I will!” Coven nodded heavily and made a promise.

Next, all the professors, including Dumbledore, took out their wands and aimed at the closed wardrobe.

At the same time, Coven slowly stepped forward and finally stood about three meters away from the wardrobe…

Taking a deep breath, Coven focused and calmed his mind. At the same time, he said, “Next, I will use the ‘Emotion Spell’  to extract my negative memories…. I will first see Dementors’ reaction.”

“Are you ready, Little Coven?” Professor Sprout asked.

Coven did not respond. Instead, he stared at the wardrobe and nodded.

Seeing this, Professor Sprout gently waved her wand at the wardrobe door. In the next moment, the wardrobe door slowly opened….

A cold, chilling fluctuation suddenly came from the wardrobe, causing the lights in the office to darken.

As the white mist spread out from the cabinet, a tall figure slowly floated out from the cabinet.

Dementors’ image was very similar to that of the god of death in ancient Greek mythology. He’s tall, thin body was covered by a black and tattered robe, but he did not have the huge sickle used to harvest souls.

At this time, Coven did not have time to observe carefully. When Dementors was about to float out of the wardrobe, he used the ‘Memory Charm’.

He placed the wand on his temple and slowly pulled out a ball of slightly black magic thread.

Next, Coven controlled the magic threads to begin condensing. Finally, they condensed into a ball the size of an adult’s fist at the tip of the wand.

Then, Coven stretched his arm forward and brought the piece of memory condensed from negative emotions closer to Dementors….

Although Dementors was classified as magical creature, they were also intelligent.

This Dementor had long been arranged in advance. In addition, there were five magic masters present at the scene. Therefore, after Dementors floated out of the wardrobe, he did not lose control and go crazy.

Instead, he seemed to stay in front of the cabinet obediently.

Only when Coven handed over the ball of negative emotions did Dementors show some signs of losing control. He couldn’t help but float forward for a distance. He bent down and lowered his head, bringing the mouth hidden under the hood closer to the ball of negative emotions.

In the next moment, under everyone’s concentrated gaze, the ball of negative emotions was quickly sucked dry by Dementors.

This scene caused all the professors to be unable to help but be shocked for a moment.

Obviously, Coven’s guess was half correct.

Dementors were indeed able to absorb negative emotions…
