First Law of Dementors: A Dementor shall prevent Aurors from coming to harm.

Second Law of Dementors: A Dementor shall obey Aurors, except in cases where that would conflict with the First Law.

Third Law of Dementors: A Dementor shall behave all creepy and stuff, except in cases where that would conflict with the first two Laws.
