The longing on Qiu's face disappeared in an instant, and the light in Kanna's eyes disappeared.
The two men turned their heads at the same time and stared at Kyle with murderous eyes.
"I promise……"
Kanna gritted her teeth and said, "If my patronus is really a caterpillar, I will definitely kill you. Just wait."
"Me too," Qiu agreed.
"No, it has nothing to do with me." Kyle explained: "I just said it casually, just as an analogy."
"I don't care!" Kanna said unhappily.
"Pfft..." Cedric couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Qiu glared at him. "You won't be able to escape when the time comes."
"what?"
Cedric couldn't laugh anymore. "It's all because of Kyle. I didn't say anything."
"You smiled!"
"I……"
Seeing Cedric's confused look, everyone around him bit their lips tightly, lowered their heads, and shrugged their shoulders.
Malfoy also wanted to laugh, but Kanna glanced at him, and he was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and pinched his thigh hard.
"I'm just giving Kyle a face... I'm not afraid of her." Malfoy thought to himself.
Kyle had just saved him from a broom that had lost control, and Kanna was Kyle's friend, so he should give her some face...
Well, yes, that's it.
Malfoy soon convinced himself.

Chapter 386: Mist Siren
The light emitted by the four Patronuses completely surrounded the entire stadium, and also blocked the Dementors twenty feet above the stands.
Soon, the professors in the castle also got the news and rushed over.
More and more Patronuses flew to the Quidditch pitch from different places. The bright silver light penetrated the rain curtain, illuminating the entire pitch like the sun, and also dispelled the biting cold, making people feel extremely at ease.
Even some senior students' Patronus Charm levels began to soar, and they naturally formed their own Patronus.
At the same time, new guardians also joined the battlefield.
The Hogwarts counterattack has begun.
As various different patronuses rushed into the sky...the Dementors retreated, scattered, and began to flee in panic outside the stadium.
Hagrid went even further, calling two unicorns from the Forbidden Forest to help... although that didn't help much.
Unicorns are indeed the biggest natural enemy of Dementors, but Dementors can fly. No matter how low their IQ is, it is impossible for them to float to the ground and face the unicorns directly.
Moreover, Hagrid also wasted a lot of time in the Forbidden Forest. By the time he arrived here, the battle was basically coming to an end.
Professor McGonagall stamped her feet anxiously in her seat as she watched the last few Dementors disappear from sight.
She really wanted to join the battle, but she had to maintain the original light curtain to ensure that the students were not harmed. In the end, she could only watch the Dementors run away without a single one left.
"What a great opportunity it was to kill the Dementors in broad daylight, but it's gone just like that..."
Professor McGonagall felt extremely upset, as if she had lost a thousand Galleons... no, it should be said that she felt even worse than losing Galleons.
At least you can earn more Galleons if you lose them, but there may only be this one chance to deal with the Dementors...especially after Professor Dumbledore comes back, there may be no chance at all.
Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall subconsciously glanced to the side again.
If Snape had been able to get involved just now, maybe she would have had time to beat up the Dementors to her heart's content.
A professor actually lets his students take on his own responsibilities... Tsk!
Facing Professor McGonagall's gaze, Snape turned his head away, pretending not to see it.
It doesn’t matter who the patron saint is, as long as the problem is resolved.
However, Professor McGonagall did not waste much time on this matter and quickly withdrew her gaze... She had more important things to do.
Dementors have entered the school. This is absolutely not allowed. The Ministry of Magic must give an explanation...
She put her wand to her throat and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet!"
For a moment, her voice echoed throughout the stadium.
"The game is suspended. The prefects will immediately bring everyone from each academy back to the castle..."
"The Student Union President is on guard. If you spot a Dementor again, immediately send a red explosion signal into the sky..."
"No one is allowed to stay outside under any excuse!"
There was no complaint from the huge stands, and even the players from both teams did not object to the decision to suspend the game.
Under Professor McGonagall's arrangement, the students quickly left the stadium and walked towards the castle.
It was naturally impossible for Malfoy to take Harry away, so Kyle could only conjure up a stretcher, put Harry on it, and had several Hufflepuffs volunteer to carry him into the castle.
They had barely reached the entrance hall when the Gryffindors came rushing over, including Ron and Hermione, dripping wet as if they had just climbed out of a swimming pool.
"Oh, Harry, thank God..."
Ron said excitedly, "We saw him fall into the stands with Malfoy, but there were too many people around to squeeze through."
"Don't worry, he's fine."
Kyle said, "It should be similar to the situation on the train. All you have to do is find a classroom with a window and stick Harry's head out. I think he'll wake up soon."
"Uh, forget it." Ron laughed dryly. "I think Madam Pomfrey should have a way to wake him up."
There was no other way on the train, so they could only splash water on Harry to wake him up, but at school it would definitely be better to send him to the school hospital.
"It's up to you," Kyle said. "Remember to prepare some chocolate for him to eat when he wakes up. It will be good for him."
Hermione and Ron nodded and took Harry to the hospital wing, along with Wood and the Gryffindor team, except Fred and George.
They came up to Kyle, his face looking particularly pale under the mud.
"It's so scary..." Fred shuddered with lingering fear, "I just felt a chill, and when I turned around, I saw the Dementor was less than five feet away from me."
“It’s like all the joy has been sucked out of it.”
George took a few deep breaths, "So this is what it feels like to face Dementors without the Patronus Charm... I have to say it's terrible."
"But speaking of this." Fred suddenly asked, "Kyle, who was your patronus just now?"
"Why do you ask?" Kyle said without changing his expression, "Maybe I can't summon a patronus."
"That's a really funny joke of yours." Fred laughed boastfully.
"If it was ten minutes ago, maybe we would have believed it."
George stepped forward and patted Kyle on the shoulder. "Don't forget that we are not the only ones on the Quidditch field. Many people saw you summon the Patronus. On the way back to the castle, we heard at least two groups of people discussing this matter."
"Since you all know it, why are you asking me?" Kyle said.
"Because the versions we hear are different every time." Fred looked a little strange. "They say all kinds of things, as if those patronuses were summoned by you."
"Luna also said that your patronus is the Siren of the Mist."
"So, what is the Mist Siren..." Kyle wondered.
"According to Luna, it is a magical animal that lives in the North Sea." George thought for a moment and said, "It has no fixed form. Everyone sees it in a different way. It sounds a bit like a Boggart."
"Do you believe it?" Kyle looked at them.
"Hmm..." Fred stroked his chin and muttered seriously, "It's not impossible."
Kyle wanted to say something else, but there was a sudden commotion among the crowd around him.
Professor McGonagall arrived, accompanied by several senior students, who seemed to be the prefects of each college.
"Professor McGonagall!" Fred asked hurriedly, "Have all the Dementors been driven away? When can we continue to play the next Quidditch game?"
"We're thirty points ahead of Slytherin," said George.
"I'm afraid it won't work today." Professor McGonagall looked quite sorry, but didn't explain anything. She just asked them to go back to the common room and have a cup of hot chocolate.
She then stopped Kyle as he was about to leave.
"Come with me for a moment."
Although Kyle didn't know what was going on, he nodded and followed.
On the way, Professor McGonagall asked, "I heard from Diggory that you summoned the jellyfish patronus?"
"Yeah," Kyle said. "What happened again?"
"Not really," said Professor McGonagall, "but the Patronus Charm is a very advanced spell, which is very mentally demanding, and against so many Dementors at once, I think it would be better to let Madam Pomfrey check it out."

Chapter 387 Backflip
As the only casualty of the Dementor attack, Harry had to stay in the school hospital for the entire weekend.
There was a constant stream of people coming to see him, all trying to make him laugh, but Harry found it difficult to laugh.
His broom broke and was broken in two.
Yeah, it's bound to break if it falls from fifty feet.
Harry had thought of this when he had just woken up, but after seeing the broken pieces of the broom, he still felt uncomfortable.
Although Wood told him that it could be repaired, as long as he went to Diagon Alley and spent some gold, it could be made as good as new.
But he couldn't go to Diagon Alley right now... he couldn't even go to Hogsmeade.
