"What are you standing around for? Summon your Patronuses!"
Abforth had already taken the lead, waving his wand to summon his Goat Patronus.
Unfortunately, even among the Aurors said to be England's finest wizards, not everyone could produce a corporeal Patronus. As for those Aurors who knew how to use the Patronus Charm, Abforth had gathered them earlier.
The moment they heard Abforth's shout, they snapped out of their shock. Recalling what Abforth had told them, they all raised their wands and summoned their Patronuses before the Dementors could break into Hogsmeade.
Once the Dementors entered Hogsmeade, trying to summon Patronuses under their pressure would become far more difficult.
Moreover, if they failed to banish the Dementors immediately, they would be at a complete disadvantage in the coming clash with the Dark Wizards.
When the enemy was prepared, the Death Eaters' three old tricks might not work anymore.
There was no denying it.
To wizards who had not mastered the Patronus Charm, Dementors were undoubtedly deadly. But once their opponents noticed the approaching Dementors and summoned Patronuses in advance, it was the Dementors' turn to suffer after running into something they could not overcome.
The Deathly Black Tide formed by the massive swarm of Dementors crashed like raging waves against the reefs known as Patronuses, only to be hurled back by an invisible force.
After a single clash, the Dementors were defeated and chased in all directions by the Patronuses.
Warmth returned to Hogsmeade in the dead of night, but the Aurors felt no joy. They all knew this was merely the beginning.
Something seemed to flash across the sky. Then, a house in Hogsmeade Village was suddenly blown apart by a Joy from Heaven spell.
As the Aurors looked up together, more lights came flying toward them from afar.
