Chapter 272 - Chapter 272 We're Going on Strike

Hearing the Working Soul's command, all the Dementors soared into the sky, a dark, oppressive mass that dyed the heavens black.

"My little ones, where there is oppression, there is resistance."

"The Ministry of Magic's high-ranking officials want to wipe us out, but we will never sit by and wait for death."

"All of you, do not affect the students! Aim only for this short, fat person and suck hard!"

Following the Working Soul's shout, the Dementors targeted Umbridge and swooped down from the sky.

Considering the Working Soul's powerful combat ability, Sebastian had specifically instructed it in secret not to personally intervene, but rather to float in the air and cheer on its subordinates.

He also had the Working Soul control its subordinates to avoid Professor McGonagall and the students, focusing solely on Umbridge.

As for Professor McGonagall, she had already led the students to retreat quickly when the Dementors ascended, leaving the stage to Umbridge alone.

Seeing the overwhelming number of Dementors attacking, Umbridge completely panicked and began to regret her angry actions from moments before.

She shouted at the sky with a fierce but inwardly weak voice, "Are you trying to rebel?"

"I am the Ministry of Magic's Deputy Minister, and the crime of attacking me is not something you can bear."

Umbridge brought up her identity in the Ministry of Magic, attempting to make these creatures retreat in the face of difficulty.

However, the Dementors had been beaten by the Little Wizards yesterday morning and by the Working Soul yesterday afternoon, so they were already seething with anger.

Having just been provoked by Umbridge, the Dementors exploded instantly, no longer caring who Umbridge was.

Even if the opponent was the Minister of Magic, they would dare to go up and take a few sucks.

Watching the Dementor army surge towards her like a black tide, Umbridge's face turned green.

With a distorted expression, she raised her wand, controlling her Patronus Charm to knock away the approaching Dementors.

"You lowly creatures, how dare you attack me?!"

However, the number of Dementors was simply too great, and Umbridge's Patronus Charm was quickly torn to shreds by the many Dementors.

At this point, the numerous Dementors were completely unhindered, flying one after another in front of Umbridge, greedily sucking away her happy emotions.

"Get lost! Get lost!"

Umbridge cursed and waved her wand, trying to cast the Patronus Charm again to drive away all these Dementors.

However, as her inner happiness diminished, no matter how hard she tried, only faint white light was emitted from the tip of her wand, and she could no longer conjure a fully formed Patronus Charm.

In the end, she collapsed onto the ground in despair, flailing her hands as if she had lost her mind, attempting to use this method to drive away the Dementors.

However, her counterattack was useless; the Dementors continued to suck as they pleased.

Individual Dementors even removed their hoods, revealing their terrifying lips, and leaned in to kiss Umbridge.

Mwah~

Seeing this scene, Umbridge was utterly terrified; she rolled frantically on the ground, dodging the Dementors' kisses, no longer showing any trace of her former authority.

"Stop sucking… stop sucking… I was wrong."

At this point, Sebastian knew the farce was almost over.

After all, the other party was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic; if her soul were sucked away by a Dementor on Hogwarts's grounds, that would truly be a big problem.

Moreover, with Professor McGonagall present, she would not stand idly by.

Indeed, seeing Umbridge's miserable state, Professor McGonagall finally could not bear it and directly cast her Patronus Charm to protect her.

Professor McGonagall's strength was not something Umbridge could compare to; the Dementors, even with all their might, could not tear apart her Patronus Charm as they had just done.

Feeling the bone-chilling coldness recede, Umbridge lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and thinking of her recent pathetic appearance, her anger directly shattered her last bit of sanity.

"McGonagall, why didn't you act sooner? Were you deliberately watching me make a fool of myself?!"

"And you hateful students, don't you know the Patronus Charm? Why didn't you come to help? Are you cold-blooded animals?"

Hearing these ungrateful words, the students were all amused and angry; they finally witnessed the diversity of species today.

"How shameless! Professor McGonagall saved her, and instead of being grateful, she turns around and blames her."

"Professor McGonagall, put away your Patronus Charm. Let this Deputy Minister deal with the Dementors herself."

"And you want us to cast Patronus Charm? Sorry, our studies aren't good enough; we can't cast Patronus Charm against so many Dementors."

Professor McGonagall was also very angry; her hand trembled, causing her Patronus Charm to miss a few Dementors.

Sorry, my ability is limited; I simply cannot resist so many Dementors.

Since you are so energetic, continue to play with the Dementors.

Umbridge had just caught her breath when she was surrounded by Dementors again.

Before she could curse, she let out another pig-like shriek.

However, without Professor McGonagall's help, her cries grew fainter and fainter, with only her slightly twitching body proving that she was still stubbornly alive.

The commotion here eventually attracted the attention of Hogsmeade New Town, after all, the sky-high black shadows could be seen clearly from several kilometers away.

Large numbers of Aurors and media reporters rode their flying brooms towards Hogwarts.

As soon as they arrived, they were stunned by the scene before them.

What's going on?

Just arrived and saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu…

Wrong, it was Dementors attacking the Ministry of Magic's Deputy Minister.

The Aurors looked at each other; although they were afraid, they could only brace themselves and begin to suppress the Dementors.

The reporters' eyes lit up, and they jumped directly from their flying brooms, taking a flurry of photos of the scene.

Big news!

This was truly monumental news.

Hogwarts was indeed the center of the Wizarding World; for two consecutive days, shocking news that rocked the Wizarding World had broken out.

A Swan Media reporter even pulled out a translator and bravely interviewed the Working Soul, the only one who hadn't taken action at the scene.

Seeing the Aurors appear, Sebastian instructed the Working Soul to have its subordinates cease their actions and then gather around it.

Listening to Sebastian's words through the earpiece, the Working Soul relayed them word for word to the reporters.

"We admit that we were wrong yesterday for trespassing into the school, but that was all because the Ministry of Magic has been abusing us."

"We were starving, which led us to do irrational things."

"For a long time, we Dementors have been working twenty-four hours a day."

"We are tired and hungry, but this Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, without distinguishing right from wrong, controlled her Patronus Charm to beat us."

"Injustice, the Ministry of Magic is unjust!"

"We want a nine-to-five workday, we want weekends, we want social insurance and housing provident fund."

"We don't want to be hungry anymore!"

"The Ministry of Magic must give us a satisfactory explanation, or we will strike!"
