As most people know, dementors are terrible creatures of darkness that suck all the happiness out of a person. When confronted with a dementor a person will feel all their happiness and joy being drained away and the worst, most horrifying moments of their life will come on full force. In extreme circumstances a dementor can even perform a "dementor's kiss" where they suck a person's soul out, a fate far worse than death. Anyway, how to stop a dementor. As is well known, a patronus spell will turn away a dementor. A patronus spell is a spell of light that will cause a dementor to turn back. However, even the patronus spell will not completely get rid of the dementor. There is no indication that the patronus spell, no matter how powerful, could ever permenantly destroy a dementor or keep it away indefinately, it just turns it away for the time being. A better, more permenant solution would be to call up these four guys who, although they are not wizards, they are very good with muggle technology and they have some great muggle inventions and weapons for fighting dementors. So what you do is you call these guys up, and they will come running over to where the dementors are as fast as they can. They have this special car, originally an old ambulance car that was in bad shape, but they have fixed it up and made it better than ever. This car is known as the Ecto 1. They will come zooming over in their car with the lights flashing and the sirens blaring. They will then get out their special proton packs which they wear on their backs, to which is connected a special energy throwing gun. The beams that the proton packs shoot out, ion streams as they're called, can be used to catch stuff such as dementors. So they will use their proton packs and shoot the ion streams at the dementors and catch them in the streams. They will then use their special traps that can be used to catch the dementors. These traps are box shaped and they operate by stepping on a foot pedal. So they will throw out the traps and then activate them with the foot pedals. The traps will suck in the dementors, and so the dementors will be held within the traps. They will then take the traps containing the dementors back to their headquarters. Once at the headquarters, they will take the traps to their main storage facility, an ecto containment unit and place the traps inside it. Then by activating the proper switches the dementors will be sucked out of the traps and into the ecto containment unit where they will stay permenantly. "The light is green, the trap is clean" is what they sometimes say when they transfer something from the trap into the containment unit. So those are the guys to call if you ever run into any dementors.
