Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

The train continued to rush north, and it suddenly started raining heavily on the way.

The raindrops were like beans, hitting the car window and making a crackling sound. The compartment gradually became dark, and the lights turned on automatically.

Suddenly, the train slowed down and made a clanging sound.

"Are we there?" Erin said sleepily, rubbing her eyes.

Just after lunch, this girl fell asleep on the table, and now she woke up in confusion.

"Probably not," Hermione said, looking at her watch. There was a closed black book in front of her.

"We're only halfway there."

"Then why did you stop?"

The train was getting slower and slower, the sound of the wheels was gradually inaudible, and the sound of wind and rain hit the windows louder than before.

After moving forward for an insignificant distance, the train suddenly stopped. There was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound in the distance, as if someone's luggage fell off the shelf.

The next moment, all the lights went out and they were plunged into complete darkness.

"Isn't it a train breakdown?" Irene hugged Jerry's arm in fear, and Penello gasped.

"I'm going to go outside and maintain order."

"Wait!" Jerry stopped her, "Don't move yet."

There was a rustling sound outside, as if someone was walking back and forth.

Immediately afterwards, the sliding door was opened, and a cloaked figure stood at the door, tall and big, almost touching the ceiling.

His face was completely hidden under the hood, and only a pair of hands were exposed - a pair of gray-white hands, shining eerily, and seemed to be covered with mucus and spots, like something rotting in the water after death. s things……

Penello slumped weakly on his seat, his upper and lower teeth colliding with each other and making a crisp impact sound.

"Dementors!"

she moaned shudderingly.

The hand quickly retracted into the folds of the black cloak, and the Dementor took a long breath, as if it was sucking in more than just the surrounding air.

A biting chill swept through the entire carriage, and despair enveloped people...

"Call God Guard!"

In the endless darkness, a light suddenly lit up.

A silver haze of light emerged from Hermione's wand. Although it was weak, it gave people endless courage.

"Call God Guard!"

Encouraged by her, Penello then took out his wand and chanted the spell.

The light mist she summoned was obviously more solid, and the shape of some kind of animal could be faintly seen...

The two sides faced off for a moment, and the Dementor seemed a little impatient. It took off its cloak, revealing a dark hole hidden underneath.

This is the organ it calls the mouth.

It was as if a dark fog was constantly emerging from his mouth.

The silver light mist trembled and went out after sustaining for a short while.

Jerry could feel Hermione and Penelope falling next to him one after another, and their bodies began to twitch-

Jerry himself felt nothing, but when he tried to release the Patronus, nothing happened to his wand.

It seemed that the wand was instinctively resisting the magic.

Seeing this, the Dementor let out a disdainful sneer.

The fat man who was sent to carry out the "Search Hogwarts Express" wanted to absorb some of the sweet emotions of the students as a reward and afternoon tea.

I didn't expect to meet a guy here who dared to resist it and didn't know the heights of the earth.

The dementor felt that he could increase his strength...

His eyes first fell on Jerry.

He is the only guy in the box who can still maintain his sanity, but he doesn't know how long he can maintain his sanity...

The Dementor floated over to Jerry and bent down to look at him.

"Go away!"

Jerry said, a faint blue light emitted from his wand.

If you can't use the Patronus Charm, try another spell.

The spell went straight through the cloak and hit the floor behind it.

"..."

The Dementor was stunned for a moment. It instinctively felt that something in its body was taken away by this light.

After realizing that nothing was wrong with his body, the Dementor quickly put this feeling behind him.

What's even more surprising than this is that Jerry can still stay awake.

It couldn't help but feel a sense of competitiveness in its heart, wanting to see how long the boy could persist.

It moved closer to Jerry and took a deep breath.

Let me see, what is your deepest hidden fear...

The next moment, bottomless fear crazily poured into its body along its mouth, which had received desperate kisses from countless people.

If the Dementor is the incarnation of fear whose mission is to absorb all the good emotions in the world and spread fear, then what it feels from the other person is the most primitive and pure fear itself!

"Lord..."

Like blowing up a balloon, the dementor expanded completely, and finally exploded into a ball of black mist with a "pop" sound.

"Be careful, kid..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Ping was silent.

He had just passed by this carriage and happened to see a dementor approaching a boy, looking like he wanted to give him a kiss.

He subconsciously wanted to drive the dementor away, but unexpectedly the next moment, the dementor exploded in front of him.

He couldn't even see the iconic white light of the Patronus Charm.

No...even if it is a Patronus Charm, only the particularly powerful ones can destroy Dementors, such as Dumbledore's Phoenix.

Most Patronuses only have the effect of making the Dementors hate them and make them leave.

Just like normal people will subconsciously stay away from an opened herring can, but this does not mean that a herring can can really kill a person.

Of course, Dumbledore's Patronus is a bioweapon-level can of herrings.

This is probably the relationship between patron saints and dementors.

Apart from the Patronus Charm, the only thing that can theoretically eliminate Dementors is particularly powerful soul magic or black magic.

But until now, Lupine has not seen any dark wizard do it - maybe Voldemort can.

Lupine thought that maybe his eyes were dazzled, but there were no dementors at all.

Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden noise in the distance.

A slightly bald middle-aged man ran over panting.

A patron saint in the shape of a hunting dog squatted on his shoulders, and a dementor floated far behind him.

After seeing Lupin, he shouted loudly: "Merlin, you killed it, you had no right to do so - we had Dumbledore's permission..."

"It's not me..." Lu Ping explained subconsciously, but then he thought about it.

If the truth be told, it was the boy who killed the dementors.

I'm afraid everyone will think that he is shirking responsibility!

After all, with an ordinary student on one side and a ferocious werewolf on the other, normal people would know which side to choose.

Lupine took a deep breath: "Yes, it was me. I saw that guy attacking the boy at that time, and I took action out of desperation. I don't think Dumbledore said that Dementors can attack students at will. Bar?"

Jerry blinked.

what's the situation?

Just when he was about to stand up and explain to Lu Ping, Lu Ping admitted it himself.

The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment. After all, he didn't like these jailers either.

If anyone knew that a dementor under the Ministry of Magic had attacked an ordinary student, it would definitely cause a public uproar.

When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be the one pushed out as a scapegoat.

He turned his attention to Jerry: "Kid, were you really attacked just now? Don't be afraid, just tell the truth."

Lupine kept winking at Jerry from behind.

"Uh...yes, it was just a little bit away from me at that time." Jerry made a gesture, "Thanks to this, uh, sir, for saving me in time."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief: "I will report this matter to the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore..."

Seeing that the middle-aged man had the idea of ​​settling the matter, the dementor behind him was not happy.

It stretched out its rotten hand and pointed at Lupin: "...he...killed...companions...the price...required..."

Lupine held the wand across his chest and stared at it calmly: "You can try it."

"Shut up!" the middle-aged man roared at the dementor, "I should have told you many times, this is not your restaurant, don't do anything unnecessary! Your companion turned a deaf ear to my words! Even if he is dead now, You deserve it! Do you understand?"

The hound squatting on his shoulder also barked loudly in response.

The Dementor took a few steps back unwillingly and fell silent.

"It's really terrible..." The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his head and muttered, "They are all guys who can't understand human language. I should have known..."

Nodding kindly to Jerry and giving Lupine one last look, the man left with the dementor.

Not long after that, the lights started to flicker and the floor shook - the Hogwarts Express was moving again.

Lupine stepped into Jerry's box.

Hermione and Penelope's situation gradually improved - at least they were able to slowly sit up from their chairs.

Lupine took out a large piece of chocolate and gave it to them: "Try this, it will be very good for this situation."

He glanced at Irene curiously. Except for the initial panic when the dementors appeared, the little girl's eyes were surprisingly calm.

But Jerry could tell at a glance that it was not Irene who came out now, but Elena.

Mere dementors can't scare the latter.

Watching Hermione and the others eating the chocolate, their faces gradually turning rosy, Lupine stood up straight: "It's time for me to leave too... Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Thank you, sir."

Lupine nodded slightly and left the box.

Thinking of the dead dementors and the weird little girl, Lu Ping suddenly felt that this year's teaching career would not be as peaceful as he imagined...

……

They didn't talk much for the rest of the trip.

They were the only two people in the entire box who were frightened, which embarrassed the two strong girls.

In the evening, the train came to a slow stop at Hogsmeade Station. It was completely dark by then.

The first-year students were taken away by Hagrid, and the others turned onto another muddy path.

At the end of the path, at least a hundred carriages were waiting for the remaining students.

Jerry and the others got into a carriage, which swayed forward on its own.

Pulling the carriage was a group of scrawny, winged black Pegasus. They advanced silently, making no sound on the road.

Jerry reached out and touched the Pegasus' wings. The latter snorted and licked the back of Jerry's hand.

"Can you see the Thestral?" Hermione looked at him in surprise.

"Yes."

Jerry said with some sadness that the scene where Reimu disappeared before his eyes last semester still often appears in his dreams.

Hermione was knocked unconscious by Reimu and was unable to witness this scene with her own eyes, so in her eyes, these carriages still seemed to be moving on their own.

The carriage quickly passed two extraordinary wrought-iron gates, with stone pillars on either side and winged boars on top of the pillars.

Two hooded dementors were standing guard at the door.

As the many turrets and towers drew nearer, the carriage came to a halt.

The crowd walked up the stone steps in twos and threes, passed through the majestic oak door, and entered the spacious and deep foyer.

There were burning torches, and a magnificent marble staircase led upstairs.

Before entering the auditorium, Jerry and Hermione were stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"Yordle! Granger! I want to see you both!"

After saying goodbye to Irene and Penello, Jerry and Hermione followed Professor McGonagall away from the chattering and laughing crowd and went to her office.

After gesturing for the two of them to sit down, Professor McGonagall said straight to the point: "I just received an owl from Professor Lupin. According to him, you seem to have killed a dementor."

Hermione looked over in surprise. She had always thought that the one who killed the dementors was Professor Lupine.

"I did use a spell, but I'm not sure what this spell did."

Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall did not pursue the question. He nodded slightly and turned to Hermione: "It's a very good Patronus Charm, Miss Granger, but at your current age, you are still too reluctant to use it well. , it’s best to act within your ability in the future.”

After talking about dementors, we finally turned to the topic.

"You two are the only ones who have taken all the courses this year, and your grades last year were also very good——"

"I applied to the Ministry of Magic for two time turners, but they only approved one...so one of you may have to give up a few courses."

Professor McGonagall explained to them the function of the Time Turner in detail.

"The time turner can be used by two people, right?" Jerry pointed out.

Professor McGonagall rubbed her forehead: "That's okay, but your class schedules are different..."

"It's not that the class schedule cannot be adjusted." Jerry said thoughtfully, "Also, maybe I will voluntarily drop a few courses after a while, such as Muggle Studies and Divination..."

"What do you think Granger?"

"I can..." Hermione blushed and lowered her head.

Doesn't this mean that I will be inseparable from Jerry every day from now on? !

After reaching an agreement, Professor McGonagall took out something like a pocket watch from the box and handed it to Hermione.

"This time turner will be stored with Granger for now - Mr. Yoder, if you haven't changed your mind after one year, I will apply for another one for you."
