Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 288: He personally went to Azkaban and captured the ghost Bella!

Although it was somewhat unnecessary to do so, since Hogwarts couldn't prohibit the use of Portkeys anyway, Dudley did it anyway for the sake of peace and security.

Inside the spacious Room of Requirement, Dudley took out a Portkey that Dumbledore had given him the day before from his personal storage space.

This is a two-way key to Azkaban, and also a two-way key made from an empty orange soda can.

After silently complaining about Old Deng's sweet tooth, Dali immediately activated the door key's teleportation function and reached out to touch the empty jar.

In an instant, Dali's figure transformed into a twisted spiral and disappeared along with the door key.

After experiencing the discomfort of spatial teleportation, Dali arrived at a gloomy and cold isolated island in the North Sea.

Dudley's wizard robes kept him warm and he also set up a shield to block out the cold wind and chill, so he didn't feel any discomfort.

He put away the two-way key and carefully examined the historic and infamous wizard prison.

The island didn't seem very big. There was a dark, ancient fortress on it, and a few Dementors could be seen wandering and flying between the iron bars and windows of the fortress.

According to previous records, there were nearly a thousand Dementors in Azkaban, but now, after Dumbledore's purge, only two or three hundred remain, and they are all terrified and no longer a threat.

Dudley had no intention of visiting the fortress prison.

There aren't many prisoners left in Azkaban now. The loyal Death Eaters who were previously imprisoned there have all been slaughtered, leaving only some dark wizards who weren't directly associated with Voldemort.

The positive emotions generated by the few scattered cats and kittens couldn't even satisfy the remaining two or three hundred Dementors.

Dudley observed from afar that fights were breaking out among the Dementors, most likely over food.

But whether the Dementors are protecting their food or stealing it is none of his business.

His purpose in coming here was solely for Bellatrix, who had become a ghost.

"Take the God's Protection!"

Dali raised his hand and chanted a spell, summoning his orca guardian spirit.

Prepare to have the guardian spirit search for traces of the ghost Bella on the island.

Perhaps it was because Dudley's magic was too strong, or the orca Patronus was too great, or perhaps the Dementors remembered the fear of being dominated by Dumbledore's Patronus.

As soon as this silvery-white magical creation appeared, the Dementors that were flying around the fortress prison in the distance were so frightened that they stopped fighting and fled into the fortress in panic.

Dudley smiled slightly and decided to send the orca guardian away while he flew into the air to search for Bella.

As a result, without him having to do anything, the ghost Bella appeared on her own.

"Die! Die! They all deserve to die! The Dark Lord's enemies all deserve to die!"

Bellatrix, who was quite pretty, now had no human body and appeared as a silvery-white, semi-transparent ghost.

She drifted far from the fortress and prison, wandering through the empty, deserted areas of the island, her expression ferocious, constantly repeating evil and insane phrases.

She died in Azkaban and could not leave the island, so she could only wander around, telling of her loyalty and love for Voldemort.

"Well! Another lunatic!"

Dudley was speechless and immediately sent his general, the Orca Guardian, to drive away the ghost Bella.

"Om-Ang——"

The orca guardian let out a joyful cry, flapping its two huge pectoral fins, and 'swam' towards the location of the ghost Bella.

Although Bellatrix had gone mad and become a ghost, she still knew fear and knew how to hide, retaining basic sanity.

Seeing the enormous guardian deity drifting towards her, she immediately deviated from her original direction of drifting and tried to escape.

But the orca guardian accelerated and closed the distance with Ghost Bella. Then it opened its mouth and spat out a jet of water made of silvery-white guardian energy, which slammed into Ghost Bella's front.

Bellatrix slammed on the brakes and was caught up by the orca guardian, who then delivered a solid blow to her pectoral fin.

The blow was incredibly powerful; Bella the Ghost was completely powerless to resist and was sent flying to a spot not far in front of Dudley.

When she came to her senses and prepared to change direction and continue her escape, she heard a cold, calm chanting:

"Soul-stealing!"

The hazy beam of light captured Bellatrix's ghostly form.

She only had time to scream before she vanished, pulled into the soul storage space within Dali's body.

Dali Ke looked inside the soul storage space and saw that there was a soul and a ghost inside.

The soul is a small star whose origin is about to be lost to the line of death, and the ghost is naturally Bellatrix, whom they have just captured.

Dudley deliberately controlled the soul storage space, temporarily refraining from absorbing the soul essence of the ghost Bella, as she was still useful.

Moreover, unlike Little Star, whose soul is directly extracted from the physical body, Ghosts do not have the chance to fall into the world of the dead behind the veil.

Ghosts are the lucky ones who dare not face death and remain in the human world; in other words, they are beings rejected and abandoned by death.

If you keep absorbing the soul essence of a ghost, the ghost will only be drained dry, completely dissipated, and become utterly dead, with no chance of falling into the world of the dead behind the veil.

This ending suits Bellatrix well, but it should be given after all her usefulness has been exhausted.

Dudley waved his hand to retrieve the Patronus Orca, took out the two-way Portkey in the shape of a soda can, and returned to the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts.

The whole process took less than ten minutes, which is quite efficient.

There were still an hour or two before lunch, so Dali simply called Old Deng directly via voicemail and summoned him to the Room of Requirement once again.

"It's done! Bellatrix has been captured, all went smoothly!"

Upon seeing Dumbledore arrive, Dudley smiled and released Bella Ghost from the Soul Storage, but did not forget to release a large amount of protective energy to trap her.

"I've figured out a more convenient magic, Dudley."

Seeing this, Dumbledore raised his hand and cast a spell, chanting, "Bindling Souls!"

A jet-black energy chain instantly materialized, binding and locking the ghost Bella.

"This spell is pretty good! It can directly bind spirit-like beings! Teach me later!"

Dali's eyes lit up, and he gave Old Deng a thumbs up.

He thought to himself, "No wonder he is the greatest wizard of the 20th century. This title is well-deserved. He is over a hundred years old, and his magical research ability is still so strong."

Old Deng nodded slightly in agreement and was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by another voice.

"It's you! Dumbledore! You killed me, turned me into this wretched state, and now you want to capture me? The Dark Lord will not let you get away with this!"

It turned out that Bella the Ghost had realized her current predicament and turned to Dumbledore, letting out a furious and angry roar.

Dudley couldn't stand it anymore and retorted directly:

"Bellatrix, do you think Voldemort would willingly challenge a powerful figure like Dumbledore for the sake of a dead piece of trash like you?"
