From so far away, Pansy and the others on the tower naturally had no way of knowing what was happening on Harry Potter's side.
They had even less way of knowing that the scar on Harry Potter's forehead actually had a radar-like function that could detect whether Voldemort was nearby.
In short, everyone on the tower was currently watching the Dementors flee with shrill screams, and relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.
It had to be said that although the Patronus Charm was indeed the natural enemy of Dementors, even most of their unformed Patronuses, which were no more than wisps of smoke, still had an extremely powerful effect on them.
Used against Dementors, it was a direct strike at their weakness. They retreated at once without even putting up a fight.
It was just like mice seeing a cat.
Seeing this, Penelope and the others in charge of the other two towers let out excited cheers.
At the same time, Pansy's badge transmitted their relieved and excited voices.
"We did it!"
"Don't underestimate us!"
"Good. Keep going like this."
"Don't get too full of yourselves. And watch out for the Death Eaters below!"
Those voices came at just the right time, snapping Pansy out of the faint smugness rising in her heart.
After all, although they had dealt with the immediate crisis, they could not forget that the Death Eaters and Werewolves below had not given up.
Not to mention, Pansy and the others had only driven back those Death Eaters. They had not killed them all.
Pansy's small face turned serious again as she once more commanded everyone to form a defensive line with their Patronuses, while also having Luna's squad pay attention to the Death Eaters below who might target them.
"Lovegood, take your people and keep watch around us. Don't let the enemy get close."
"Mm. Leave it to us."
After a brief pause, Pansy pretended to ask casually, "Um... has there been any news from Granger?"
"No."
"I haven't heard anything from Granger either."
"Tch!"
It was no wonder Pansy reacted that way.
After all, they had already gone far past the time they had agreed on.
Even now, there was still no sign of Hermione and the others, and no news from them at all.
No one knew what kind of accident they had run into over there.
...
In the end, any commander with the slightest bit of sense, as long as they could look at the situation calmly, would immediately realize that the tower Pansy and the others occupied, along with their presence there, was a position capable of influencing the entire battlefield.
No one could possibly ignore them. Some kind of response was inevitable.
Simply put, after making their move, Pansy and the others had already caught Barty Crouch Jr.'s attention.
"Someone's coming!"
Just as Pansy was worrying about Hermione's situation, Luna's airy, clear voice reached her ears. That calm tone did not sound as if she were on a battlefield at all.
In a certain sense, Luna's strange behavior instead gave the young wizards below an odd sense of reassurance.
Perhaps this was what it meant to stay calm in a crisis.
In any case, Pansy had no idea whether Luna was simply expressionless or truly unflappable, and she had no mind to figure it out.
Because the only thing she understood at that moment was that, when she looked toward the enemy camp, she saw figures rising into the air, along with the Broomsticks beneath them.
It seemed that after being brutally beaten by Draco that time, they had learned from their defeat just how important air superiority was.
