Chapter 174 Don’t sign random names!
By the time John had wiped out a whole bowl of 'Dementor Brand Hot and Sour Rice Noodles', the Dementor had collapsed on the ground like mud, so weak that it didn't even need the Patronus of the Python to restrain it.
John also slumped in the chair, closed his eyes, and had a satisfied smile on his face.
This is not only because the 'Dementor Brand Hot and Sour Noodles' tastes so good, but also because he has absorbed a lot of magic power from the Dementors.
It can be said that John has been drinking high-level magic potions such as intelligence enhancers and enhancers as water recently.
Coupled with the contributions of so many teachers and students in Hogwarts.
The amount of magic power he absorbs every day is huge.
And the magic power he just absorbed from the dementors can almost match the total magic power he absorbs in a day!
This is definitely a very outrageous amount.
The only drawback is that there is still too much negative emotional energy in the Dementor's body.
Even if you have learned the [Patronus Charm], it still takes a lot of time to digest these negative emotions.
With John's current digestion speed, he estimated that he could only eat two dementors a week at most.
"Oh! This amount is not bad. It's free anyway."
John murmured and opened his eyes.
The silver-white python patron saint wrapped around his body and was rubbing its head against John's cheek.
There was also a very human look in its eyes filled with contentment.
"Oh? You think it tastes good too?"
John spoke in Parseltongue.
The patron saint of pythons answered John with practical actions: it turned its head and looked at the dementor, spitting out snake messages from its mouth.
Seeing this, John also licked his lips and looked at Dobby.
His move frightened Dobby and he quickly fell to his knees on the ground.
Dobby knew from the beginning that his new master was a soul-devouring monster, but he never expected that his master would be such a monster that he could even eat dementors!
"Master, don't eat Dobby! Dobby will work hard!" Dobby lay on the ground and trembled. "Dobby has tidied the greenhouse very well, and the mandrakes are almost ripe! Dobby is a Good house elf..."
John waved his hand and interrupted:
"Bring me another bowl of vermicelli. This time add more diced chicken and fried peanuts."
Dobby ran away in a whoosh.
The dementor lying on the ground seemed to understand John's words, struggling and trying to escape.
But the patron saint of pythons pounced on him fiercely and entangled him fiercely.
John stood up and stepped forward to look at the screaming and wailing Dementor, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Not bad, there should be enough for two big bowls."
……
John's estimate was spot on.
The first dementor he captured did disappear completely after forming three large bowls of hot and sour noodles.
The next day, he caught another dementor without stopping and started eating hot and sour noodles.
It wasn't until his body could no longer bear any more negative emotions that he temporarily stopped and began to digest his emotions.
Then for the next few weeks, John would capture two Dementors every week without a hitch.
Later, the dementors also became vigilant and began to travel together.
But John was a very patient hunter.
He always managed to catch the lone Dementor in various ways.
The frequent disappearance of dementors caused strong dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Magic.
They pointed the finger at Dumbledore.
After all, according to common sense, in the entire Hogwarts, only Dumbledore, the 'most powerful white wizard of this century', has the ability to make the dementors 'disappear'.
And Dumbledore himself was very disgusted with the dementors settling in Hogwarts.
Fudge visited Dumbledore the same night he received the report.
But that didn't do much.
Dumbledore would never admit to something he hadn't done.
John will not stop hunting just because the Dementors and the Ministry of Magic are on guard.
He also knew very well that Dumbledore was taking the blame for him.
And what if his dementor hunting was discovered?
Snape and Dumbledore couldn't possibly expel him just because he killed a few dementors, and Fudge couldn't imprison him, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in history, in Azkaban because of this. .
The most they could do was punish John.
Compared with the huge benefits of hunting dementors, this risk is simply not worth mentioning.
During this time, Lupine's Defense Against the Dark Arts class became more and more famous.
This was largely thanks to Draco.
After experiencing the 'Boggart Incident', he now regards Lupine as his mortal enemy.
Lucius reviewed Lupine several times in the name of school director.
Although Lupine was not expelled due to Dumbledore's protection, this also caused great trouble for Lupine.
Not only that, Draco also brought a large group of Slytherins to discredit Lupin.
"Look at his robes," Malfoy would shout as Professor Lupin passed by. "He's dressed like our elf."
However, the students' eyes are sharp.
Compared to Quirrell and Lockhart, Lupine's teaching level is really too high.
After Boggart, Lupine also got Red Hat and Kaba (Water Monkey) for everyone to study.
Pupils love Lupin with lots of interesting lessons.
Whenever Draco and other Slytherins spoke ill of Lupine, students from other houses would even come over to speak for Lupine.
Michelle is the most proactive in this kind of thing.
But she was John's sister. The Slytherins didn't even dare to glare at her, let alone scold her.
As soon as she got involved, Draco and the others would have no choice but to run away in despair.
This troubled Draco very much.
The person who was as distressed as Draco and almost bald was this year's seventh-year Slytherin prefect.
They approached John just as the weather was starting to get cold.
"John! The Quidditch Cup is about to start again!" the male prefect said seriously.
"The situation this year is very serious. Gryffindor's house points are already approaching Slytherin!" The female prefect simply hugged John's arm and rubbed it, "We need you to lead the team to win again." champion!"
"Sorry, I'm not interested in Quidditch at all."
John pulled out his arm and said expressionlessly.
The task he has set for himself this year is very clear, which is to improve his strength as much as possible.
Now that the weather was getting colder and more humid, the dementors' magic was becoming more and more powerful and delicious, and he didn't want to waste time on other unimportant things.
But on the day before Halloween, Michelle squatted on John who had just returned from the castle.
"John! Sign your name for me!"
She thrust a piece of parchment into John's arms and said.
"What are you signing?" John frowned and asked, "Michelle, don't sign randomly! If someone uses a magic contract to trick you..."
Michelle interrupted:
"Oops! What are you talking about! This is an application to go to Hogsmeade! Professor McGonagall won't let me go no matter what she says! Forget it! I can't explain clearly. I'll take you to see McGonagall directly. Professor Ge!"
As she spoke, Michelle dragged John into Professor McGonagall's office.
