HP's profit-seeking

Chapter 32 Dementors

Early the next morning, the Leaky Cauldron was in chaos. Everyone was busy moving their luggage down the narrow stairs and stacking it next to the gate.Parather first flew to King's Cross Railway Station by himself. Hathaway and Percy's owl, Hermes, were locked in their respective cages and placed on top of the luggage.Hermione's cat was purring in a small wicker basket.

Mr. Weasley poked his head in from outside, "The car is here, let's go."

The two cars outside were old-fashioned dark green cars, and Harry, Ron, Hermione, Percy and Mr. Weasley got into the first car; Mrs. Weasley hurried the twins into the back seat, and then urged Dany Ka sat between them, and she sat in front with Ginny in her arms.

The car drove smoothly along the way.Danica quietly reached out and grabbed the hand of the person next to her. Fred struggled a few times, but in the end Danica was victorious, and she tightly grasped his wrist.

She stroked his fisted hand away, drawing something in the palm of his hand. "S–O–R–R–Y–"

Danica looked at Fred, who turned his head out the window, and she wrote in his hand over and over until he was about to get out of the car.

When getting out of the car, Fred quietly rubbed his palms. His palms were itchy in Danica's painting just now, and he has been enduring it, enduring the itching as if it went to the heart along the blood vessels.

When they reached King's Cross there were still about twenty minutes before the train left.The Ministry driver helped them unload their luggage onto the trolley, saluted Mr Weasley, and drove away.

"Now," said Mr. Weasley, looking around at the students, "there are so many of us that we stand in pairs. I am the first, and Harry is with me."

He pretended to be interested in a train that had just arrived, leaning casually against the railing, and Harry followed suit.Then they went through the wall to platform 9 3/4 without anyone noticing.

The twins were at the back, and Danica looked for Palaser before coming over, also standing at the back.Percy and Ginny followed Mr. Weasley and Harry in, and then Hermione and Ron rushed in without anyone noticing.

Mrs. Weasley came from the front, "George, come on, we're here!" She grabbed George by the collar and dragged him away. "Mom, I'm Fred..." "Don't lie to me, Danica is standing next to Fred, you must be George..." Their voices disappeared into the wall.

In the end it was just Danica and Fred left.Fred looked up and studied the timetable for a while, and finally said to Danica the first words since the quarrel, "Let's go."

The two of them rushed into platform 9 3/4, the scarlet steam locomotive belching smoke over the platform, which was full of wizards and witches escorting their children to the train.

Mrs. Weasley kissed each of her children goodbye, then Danica, Hermione, and finally Harry.Then she opened her huge tote bag, "I made you all sandwiches. It's yours, Ron... no, it's not ground beef... Fred? Where's Fred? Here it is, dear." of…"

Danica originally wanted to leave first with the small suitcase. This kind of family parting occasion has nothing to do with her.But unexpectedly, Mrs. Weasley also gave her a sandwich, she smiled very kindly, "Oh, Danica, this is yours, don't dislike my craftsmanship."

Danica was flattered, and she quickly said, "Of course not, thank you very much."

Suddenly the train honked harshly, and Mrs. Weasley called out, "Quick, it's time for you to get on the train!" All the children hurried onto the train.Danica and Fred get on the train from two different carriage doors.

Danica pushed open the compartment door, and Stacy, who was looking out of the window, slowly turned to her, and said jokingly, "I see, you and Fred came together, but you didn't get on the train together, and you didn't Sit down together. What happened to the holidays, Danica?"

Danica put the suitcase on the luggage rack above her head, and she said in a very soft tone, "We had a quarrel. Because I lied to him that I was going to work at Lihen Bookstore, but in fact I went to Bojinbok, which happened to be seen by him. "

Stacy opened her mouth wide in surprise, "There should be no concealment or deception between lovers. Danica, you made a big mistake."

Danica sat across from her irritably, "It's my first time in a relationship, so why don't you give me a chance to make a mistake."

Stacy shook her head amusedly, "See how you apologized." Roger also came in, and he was much taller than before the holiday. "Oh my god, are you taking height enhancers?" Stacy exclaimed.

The train was rattling, the woods outside the window were retreating quickly, the sky was getting darker, and the clouds above were getting thicker and thicker.At one o'clock, the food truck plopped up to their door.

Danica took out Mrs. Weasley's sandwich and ate it, and Stacy and Roger bought some snacks.

After filling his stomach, Roger took out a newspaper clipping and photographed it on the table. He lowered his voice, "Have you heard about Black's escape from prison?"

Danica nodded, "I saw the newspaper, how did he escape from Azkaban? No one in Azkaban has ever successfully escaped from prison."

"No one knows." Roger's face became more and more serious, "but I heard from my father that he is likely to go to Hogwarts. As that man's most sincere servant, he will definitely try to kill Harry Potter's."

Stacy let out a short scream, "You said he was coming to Hogwarts?!"

It started to rain outside, and the scenery outside the car window became blurred.Roger's voice suddenly trembled, "The Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts have reached a negotiation, and the dementors will be stationed in Hogwarts. When Black appears, make sure that he can be arrested immediately."

The train wobbled, and lights came on in the compartments.Danica's face changed, and she snapped, "Are they crazy?! Dementors can't tell the difference between students and Black! They will probably attack us indiscriminately."

Roger choked, "So I practiced a Patronus Charm for a holiday, I hope you can listen to the advice I gave you in the letter before, and practice it too."

Neither of them noticed that the train was going slower and slower, and there was a sudden stop, and they were carried forward by the impact and fell on their seats.The lights dimmed suddenly. "What happened?" Danica slowly got up, "We can't be in Hogwarts at this time."

It was getting colder and colder on the train, and there was a layer of white mist on the window glass. Stacy wiped out a clean place and looked out on her stomach.After a short while, she said in a trembling voice, "I haven't practiced. I hope you both have mastered the Patronus Charm. Maybe you don't need to go to school, but you need to show your strength." She turned to look at Dan. Nika and Roger pointed out the window, "The dementors are outside. Countless flying around the train."

As soon as she finished speaking, the train made a loud bang, the door seemed to be opened, and something came up.They stared nervously at the compartment door.Danica and Roger drew their wands and stood guardedly.

The door was slowly opened, and a ceiling-reaching monster in a tattered cloak opened the door with its claws.Its face was completely hidden in the hood, and all it could see was darkness.The monster in the cloak took a long, slow, trembling breath, as if trying to suck something in the air.

They all felt a chill pass through their bodies, their breath seemed to be congealed in their chests, and the chill penetrated their skin and entered their hearts.Danica's breathing stopped, and she felt a pang of sadness in her heart, as if all the happiness disappeared at once.She tremblingly grasped the wand that nearly fell to the ground, and called out the spell slowly and firmly.

"Call God Guard!"

A silver-white nighthawk whizzed past the box, forcing the dementor to exit the compartment, and then it circled in the compartment for a while, slowly dissipating into smoke.Danica quickly closed the door.

Then Roger panted heavily with a pale face. He tremblingly took out a large piece of chocolate from his pocket, broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.After a while, he picked up the wand that fell on the ground, "Merlin, I never thought that dementors could be so frightening." He handed Stacy a piece of chocolate.

Stacy was also terrified, her face was pale, she shrank in a corner, unable to say a word for a long time.

Danica gave her a hug, took Roger's chocolate and forced it into her mouth. "Eat it, it will feel better." Then Danica went to pick up the suitcase that fell on the ground.

The door was suddenly opened again, and she was so frightened that she immediately turned around and pointed at the person with her wand.

Fred stood in the doorway holding his glowing wand, the silver monkey perched on his shoulder.He looked around the situation inside and saw that Danica was fine except that her face turned pale, so he slammed the door shut again.

"Why is he here?" Stacy said slowly.

Roger shrugged and joked with a smile, "Check family safety."

The compartment lights came back on and the train resumed its journey. Ten minutes later, they finally ended this absurd and terrifying trip and arrived at Hogwarts.

Another year of sorting ceremony.Danica felt that the Great Hall of Hogwarts was warmer than ever. She took a sip of hot cocoa and felt alive again.

"They're all discussing the matter that the savior Harry Potter fainted on the train." Stacy leaned over and whispered, she pouted towards the long table of Gryffindor.

Harry had been called away and had just returned to the Great Hall.Danica wanted to say something, but stopped when she saw Professor Dumbledore standing up to speak.

"Welcome!" said Professor Dumbledore, his white beard gleaming in the light of hundreds of candles above the dining table. "Welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year! I have a few words for you all." Say, there's one thing in it that's very serious, and I thought I'd make it clear before you get confused by this good meal."

He cleared his throat, "They searched the Hogwarts Express, I believe everyone has met them. Currently our school is hosting some dementors from Azkaban, they are here to perform magic Ministry's business."

The students below were discussing in low voices.

"They are stationed at all entrances to the school," continued Dumbledore, "during their stay here, I must make it very clear that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. I warn each and every one of you: do not give They can hurt any excuse you have. I hope the Prefects, and our new Head Boys and Head Girls, will make sure that no student comes into conflict with a Dementor."

All the students were frightened by the seriousness on his face and dared not speak or move.He forced a smile, "It's more gratifying that we have two new teachers joining our team this year. The first is Professor Lupine, who generously agreed to fill in the vacancy of Defense Against the Dark Arts. "

A tall and thin middle-aged man stood up and waved his hands. He was wearing a tattered robe and his face was covered with weather.Only some sporadic applause sounded.

After the applause died down, Dumbledore continued, "As for number two, it's a pity that our Conservation of Magical Creatures teacher, Professor Kettleburn, retired at the end of last year in order to spend more time with his little rascals. His is Hagrid, who has agreed to be a teacher as well as a gamekeeper."

There was a second of silence in the auditorium, and then there was a sudden burst of applause, especially at the Gryffindor table.

Roger felt a little regretful, "I'm quite reluctant to part with Professor Kettleburn, he has always been generous with his marks."

"Well, I think the important things have been said," said Dumbledore, "let's eat."

The plates in front of the students were suddenly filled with food.Danica felt extremely happy at this time, and there is nothing like food to make people happy.The auditorium echoed with laughter and the clash of knives and forks.

The last piece of pumpkin pie disappeared from the golden plate, and Dumbledore said that everyone should go to bed.All the students went back to their dormitories.

In the middle of the night, Stacy was in her pajamas, standing in front of the window and looking out, "This is too bad! There are dementors floating in mid-air outside the window!" She pulled the curtain angrily, "I will have nightmares of!"

Danica smiled and pulled up the quilt a little, "Go to sleep, I have to get up early to go to class tomorrow."

The author has something to say:

1. Roger's father works in the Ministry of Magic, so he can get inside information early.

2. Ravenclaw's bedroom is on a high tower, and there are dementors floating outside the window.

3. Today Fred only had a two-word line.Allow sadness.
