The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

The monster that floated into the train compartment aimed directly at Harry, and it began to suck Harry's happiness from a long distance away.

Professor Lupine, who was pretending to be asleep, dropped his coat and stood up abruptly. He quickly pulled out the cypress wand and pointed it at the monster.

A ball of bright silver light gathered on the body of the staff. Just as he was about to expel the monster, a ferocious black claw pierced through the light ball and grabbed the dementor's head. Before it could struggle to free itself, it was quickly It was dragged into Macon's body and disappeared.

With the disappearance of the monster, the lights in the compartment resumed and the temperature rose slowly. The three of them, a cat and a mouse, stared dumbfounded at the elegant Macon who was holding a saucer and drinking black tea.

"Huh? Would you like a cup of black tea? Professor Lupine?"

"Who are you? No, what are you?"

After being dazed for a long time, Professor Lupine came to his senses, and pointed his wand at Macon. The constantly shaking wand proved that its owner's heart was not at peace.

"Hogwarts, Gryffindor, third graders, Macon, nice to meet you, you can ask them if you don't believe me."

Hearing Macon's words, Lupine looked at Ron, the red hair was right, it was Weasley, watching Ron nodding wildly, he slowly put down his wand, but he didn't lose points for being wary of Macon.

"You are definitely not an ordinary wizard. I will ask Dumbledore when I get back."

"Well, of course, it's up to you to ask or not. You can't drink too much black tea in one cup."

Macon, who swallowed a dementor, is experiencing the feeling that he has never had before, just like biting a cold and sweet ice cream in the hot summer, it enters the mouth, passes through the throat, and enters the stomach. The feeling was too much for him, so he didn't want to talk to Lupine.

Professor Lupine went to check Harry's situation in embarrassment. He fell into a coma after being sucked into happy emotions just now.

Hermione changed back, she hugged Macon with a pale complexion, that kind of terrifying monster would make people creepy when they saw it, such a close contact was enough to make ordinary people's spirits collapse.

Macon took out a box of simple-packaged dark chocolate from his backpack, peeled off one and stuffed it into her mouth, then grabbed a few more and handed them to Ron, who was also pale.

"Phew!~ Fortunately, it's nothing serious, he just fell into a coma, I have chocolate here, you eat it and then..."

After checking Harry's situation, Professor Lupine turned his head and wanted to share his chocolate with them to help relieve the tension, but when he saw the box with the words "Coopers" in Macon's hand Chocolate box, you can only stuff the chocolate out into your mouth.

The originally small carriage became more crowded because of Harry's fainting. Both Macon and Hermione turned into cats, licking each other's fur to help her soothe her emotions.

Not knowing whether it was because of being too nervous or because the chocolate was too delicious, Ron kept stuffing chocolate into his mouth.

Professor Lupine was sitting by the window, resting Harry's head on his lap, otherwise the row of seats wouldn't have room for two people.

He looked at the black cat and the white cat whose hairs were matted with each other. The black cat had something hanging around its neck, shining against the lights in the train. He was well-informed and he recognized it instantly. A status symbol accessory for the Reticent Man.

"What's wrong with me?"

Harry, who woke up slowly, sat up slowly. When the monster floated into the cubicle, he heard the mournful cry when his mother was killed, and then fell into darkness.

"You fainted just now, and your whole body was stiff, but Professor Lupine has already examined your body. Come and taste this, the chocolate brought by Macon."

Ron said, and handed him the last chocolate in the box. Harry looked at the big chocolate box, and then at the small piece of chocolate in his hand...

"What was that just now?"

"Harry, don't worry, that's the guard of Azkaban, the dementor, it's not looking for you, its target is Sirius Black."

Professor Lupine comforted Harry. The son of this old friend was stronger than he imagined. It can also be said that in his wizarding career, he had rarely encountered such a strong wizard. It seemed that he was doing well. .

"Are you also unconscious?"

Seeing that everyone else was fine, Harry asked the question in his heart.

"No, no, that dementor came to you as soon as it came in. I mean, you seem to be unlucky lately."

Ron didn't know how to answer Harry. Although he wasn't in a coma, eating so much chocolate only relieved his nervousness. Now he doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​happiness...

Thestral carriages took the little wizards to the Hogwarts auditorium, and they had to circle the castle for half a circle. The main entrance of the castle was the Black Lake that the first-year freshmen could only pass by by boat.

The light rain continued to fall, the sky was covered with overcast clouds, and the moon shone through the clouds from time to time, shedding white moonlight.

After entering the auditorium and sitting down, it didn't take long for the little wizards to take their seats. Professor Flitwick was standing in front wearing a tuxedo and holding a baton, directing the singing of a dozen little wizards.

Macon listened to what they sang below, all composed of verses.

At the beginning, the witch was boiling the medicine, a mess of bat hairs, dog teeth, salamander eyes, and frog toes, and at the end it sang that the thousand-year-old witch corpse had a hideous face...

Macon, who couldn't understand the full meaning, called out the good guy, what is this?Hogwarts choir?

Finally, with the croaking of the toads in the hands of the young wizards in the front row, the singing ended, and the young wizards and the professors applauded happily.

"Ron, can you understand me?"

Macon looked suspiciously at Ron next to him, who was clapping excitedly.

"Huh? I don't understand, but they are all applauding. They should sing well."

"···"

"Be quiet, everyone. Welcome back to Hogwarts. I am your headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Before you start the dinner, I have a few words to tell you."

"First of all, congratulations to Professor Remus Lupine for becoming the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, and our Care of Magical Creatures teacher who has retired and will be replaced by Rubeus Hagrid, our Gamekeeper."

The young wizards in the audience instantly looked at Hagrid, who was pointing at Dumbledore, who was sitting on the professor's chair. He looked around in a daze. Professor McGonagall touched Hagrid and kindly reminded him to stand up, which made his nerves thick. Hagrid reacted, nearly knocking over the dining table as he stood up.

"Of course there is another piece of bad news to tell you. A group of unfriendly guests came to Hogwarts. They are the guards of Azkaban---the dementors. They are looking for Sirius Black."

"Although the Ministry of Magic promises that it won't affect us, I still want to tell you that those are the most evil creatures. They live by sucking happiness. Don't get close to them! They don't know what forgiveness and mercy are!"

Hearing Dumbledore's speech, the little wizard below exploded in an instant. This year's first-year freshmen even cried a dozen in fright.

They keep yelling, they are here to learn magic, not to go to jail, why does the prison that makes people feel uncomfortable when they hear it, and the dementor that makes hair stand on end when they see it, why does it appear here?

Only the seniors don't care, what haven't you seen in the past two years?Are Voldemort and the Basilisk afraid?It's all good!

After hearing the seniors explaining the real life in Hogwarts to them, these first-year freshmen wanted to go home even more. As a result, they attracted the 'intimidation' from the seniors, and various horror rumors of Hogwarts came one after another. ··

With the end of the dinner, the storm finally came, and the overwhelming rain continued to wash the ancient castle, but it couldn't stop the laughter of the little wizards, and the dejection of the first-year students.

Harry was also infected by the lively atmosphere of the other little wizards, diluting the unhappiness on the train, and returned to the Gryffindor lounge together after the dinner was over.

Macon propped up the rain curtain with magic, and rushed back to the hut with Hermione. When they came to the hut, they found a shocking scene.
