Chapter 220: The Spectators
"What is that?!" McGonagall yelled, pointing at the sky.
"I'm afraid that is a cloud formed by the concentration of many dementors…" The Headmaster said with a grave tone.
"How can that be? Did the Ministry lose control of them?" Snape asked with a hint of fear. It wasn't the dementors that scared him, but the reason behind their arrival. It wasn't a secret that his former Master had found a way to control those monsters.
Dumbledore gave him a passing glance. He could tell what his Potion professor was thinking by the look on his face.
The Headmaster knew better. There was no way for dementors to just fly past the wards without his knowledge. These ones had appeared out of nowhere.
And there was only one way for that to happen… a Timeline Convergence.
Of course, he could not speak of this with the other professors, as they knew nothing about these matters.
"Albus, what do we do?" Asked McGonagall.
Dumbledore glanced at the field when he heard one of the Weasley twins scream as his broom disappeared from beneath him before it flew directly to Harry.
"Make sure everyone remains calm as they evacuate the premises," The Headmaster told her.
"Harry!" Lily had been looking at the Gryffindor stands, where her son and daughter had been sitting. Then, all of a sudden, she was able to recognize her son jumping out of the stands and onto a broom.
"Potter?, what is he doing?!" Snape saw the figure of his less-liked student fly toward the dark cloud.
"Potter, get down from there!" McGonagall shouted. She then looked down at Lee Jordan. As a Quidditch commentator, he had a magical microphone in front of him. "Jordan!, give me that thing!" She pointed at the device.
As soon as she got it in her hands, she prepared to make an announcement. 'Attention everyone! This is an emergency. I want you to-ahh!"
"Expecto Patronum!"
Harry's patronus created a wave of light intense enough to temporarily blind everyone present.
"A Patronus?!" Snape caught a glimpse of the giant white stag through his squinted eyes.
"Lily, since when does your son know how to do that?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"A corporeal patronus!, and it's massive!" Professor Flitwick stared in awe once he recovered his sight.
"I believe he was taught by his uncle Remus…" Lily recalled Harry telling them that story about his third year, and how he had to learn it because… 'That year… dementors invaded the Quidditch pitch during a game with… what a coincidence…' She knew there was something very strange about this.
Lily gave the Headmaster a sidelong glance. If there was something strange going on with Hogwarts, he would definitely know about it.
"It seems like the situation with the dementors will soon be solved. But in any case, it's best if we evacuate the premises," He said while looking at McGonagall. "And Severus… we may have to give the Ministry a call."
Dumbledore didn't really want to do that, since he already knew this had nothing to do with the dementors in Azkaban. But it would be strange if they said nothing, as they would certainly be hearing about this. Moments later, they saw the white chains appear and pierce through the clouds.
"What in Merlin's name is that?!" McGonagall felt like she was going to die from shock today.
"Is Potter doing that?" Snape asked.
"Mmm… never seen a spell like that one" Dumbledore admitted. But he had a lot of interest in seeing what Harry was going to do next. 'That patronus would have been enough to scare the dementors away…'
Dumbledore glanced at Lily. 'Oh… I see.' He understood why Harry was not allowing them to flee. His family and friends were here.
He only knew Harry for less than a year but could already tell he was very protective of those he cared about.
It was one of the reasons he felt at ease with having someone who wielded so much power staying at the school.
He was sure that Harry would never put the students in danger for no reason.
They then saw the white stag emerge back from the clouds and right next to it was Ginny flying on her broom.
The Gryffindor players saw this and hurried to help her.
"Ginny, are you okay?!" George shouted.
"Where did that thing come from?" Katie Bell asked.
"Is it dangerous?" Alicia Spinnet asked.
"Don't you know it? That's a Patronus!" Angelina Johnson told her.
"A Patronus?" Alicia asked. She was in her fifth year and hadn't heard of that spell yet.
"She is right. We learned about it last year," said the Captain, who was already in his seventh year of school. "Of course, we only learned of its existence. Professor Flitwick didn't expect anyone to actually learn to perform it. Although it would give you extra points for the N.E.W.T.s."
"Yeah, it's supposed to be like a super hard spell. I heard it from a friend," Angelina said.
"Did Potter actually cast this one?... it looks so real!" Katie asked.
Ginny went to pat the stag and it lowered its head to make it easier for her. "Thank you," she told it with a beaming smile.
With its job done, the stag started to become more transparent until it disappeared completely.
"Look!" Angelina pointed up.
The clouds started to dissipate, revealing hundreds of cloaked creatures floating in the sky.
They were all surrounded by the white chains as Harry stood over them with his light spear in hand. "Sacrum Hastae!"
