tail tone

"...So, Your Highness, have you learned to 'call God for protection'?" Pan Xi looked at Alberta expressionlessly, which made Alberta a little stressed.

She didn't know whether she should nod and admit that she had learned it, or pretend that, like them, she hadn't learned it.

"It seems, Your Highness, you have learned it..." Seeing her reaction, Pan Xi sighed faintly, her tone full of exhaustion.

Blaise also patted Pansy's shoulder empathetically, and said, "Don't worry, Draco and I will accompany you..."

"Who wants you to accompany me! I didn't learn as well as Your Highness! QAQ" The sad Pansy elbowed down, almost preventing Blaise from spitting out his breakfast.

Blaise clutched his belly, looked at Pansy twice miserably, then glanced at Alberta, obediently moved aside, not to touch Miss Pansy's tail.

Draco, on the other hand, sat there very calmly this time, facing Pansy and Blaise's ridicule, and he couldn't waver even a bit.

"Although I failed to use the 'Calling God's Guard' successfully, I can already release some silver mist. Dad said, I just need to practice more, and I will succeed soon!"

………………………… Dare is because of my father’s encouragement.

During the rest of the journey, several people sat in the box and chatted, talking about their own things during the vacation, and also slightly teased Neil who abandoned them in order to be with his girlfriend.Even if the weather outside the window is not very good, the raindrops are crackling on the window, and the sound of the wind can almost drown out the voice of people talking.

But as they talked, they felt that the speed of the train was getting slower and slower, and finally it stopped.

Alberta looked out the window, it was already completely dark, but... In terms of time, they should not have reached Hogwarts yet, right?

Blaise sat on the outermost side, he got up and opened the door.In the corridor, like him, many people stretched out their heads to see what happened.

But no one told them what was going on.

Then there was a jolt, and luggage fell down with a bang.Immediately afterwards, the lights dimmed all of a sudden.

At this time, everyone knew that something unexpected happened.

Alberta took out the wand hidden in the invisibility wand cover, waved it, and then a little bit of starlight appeared in front of them.These lights were not very bright, but they still illuminated the box.

She felt more and more that something was wrong, and shouted, "Brace, come in."

"Ah? What's wrong?" Blaise asked.

Alberta pursed her lips and said, "I always feel that something is wrong, stay in the box and don't go out."

Just as he was talking, Blaise was about to move his legs to walk back when he felt a cold breath coming from behind him.

Bang - Blaise felt himself being pulled and bumped against the back of the sofa, but the pain was far less intense than the uncomfortable feeling that the cold breath brought him.

In a strong chill, he curled up, feeling breathless.The chill seemed to be conscious, entering along his skin, flowing from his limbs and bones, reaching his chest, and finally his heart... He seemed to be dragged down by someone, his body became colder and colder, and his ears He also had auditory hallucinations, and the rustling sound made him unable to concentrate at all...

"Hey... Blaise, are you okay?"

Someone patted his cheek, and slowly, he felt his feelings return to his body, and his body temperature gradually returned to normal.

When he could finally see what was in front of him clearly, he realized that he was curled up on the sofa, Pansy was just as embarrassed as he was, and Draco was hugged by Alberta, trembling all over stop.

Among the four, only Alberta was in normal condition. She patted Draco on the back and comforted him softly, while waving her wand, heated up the cold drink and floated it in front of them.

"Let's drink something warm first," she said.

Blaise and Pansy took the cup wordlessly and held it tightly in their hands, as if they wanted to rely on the faint heat to dispel the bone-chilling chill just now.

After a while, Pan Xi asked dryly, "Just now... what was it?"

"...It's a dementor." Alberta hesitated for a few seconds before saying the answer.

Pansy's hand shook, and the hot drink in the cup was almost poured out. She raised her head suddenly and said sharply: "Impossible! Aren't the dementors controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and they can only inspect the entrance and exit of the school!"

"Obviously, the Ministry of Magic can't really control the dementors." Alberta's voice was very cold, and there was no expression on her face, "I'm afraid I was attracted by the joyous atmosphere in the carriage just now, the dementors To do such a thing.”

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door closed by Alberta.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Even though she said so, Alberta held her wand tightly in her hand, and pointed the wand at the door. As long as there was any sound at the door, she would probably throw a few spells over it.

"Ah, it looks like nothing happened." The person who came was an adult wizard, wearing a worn-out wizard robe, even with a few patches. Although he looked young, his light brown hair was a bit gray. It seemed that he The previous life was a bit down and out.

"Who are you?" Alberta did not let down her vigilance because of this, her wand was still aimed at the adult wizard.

The man smiled, but he didn't care about Alberta's actions. Instead, he praised: "What a vigilant, what a qualified Slytherin. Ah, I forgot to introduce, I'm Leo James Lupine, will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"Remus Lupine?" Alberta recited the name playfully, "One of the four predators?"

Lupine seemed a little surprised, but his face returned to normal after thinking of something: "As expected of a student of Slytherin, it seems that everyone knows my identity?"

Alberta shrugged and put away her wand: "Ah, I just looked up the events of the year after Harry mentioned Black..."

"Harry?"

Mentioning this, Alberta was a little helpless.They just had a cold drink together before, but when they finished eating and were about to leave, Harry asked her to call his name, and wouldn't let her go if he didn't.Facing the rogue-like savior, Alberta had no choice but to compromise.

Lupine didn't stay long, and left in a hurry after explaining that chocolate can get rid of the adverse reactions caused by dementors.After all, he was the only professor on the train, and he needed to go to every box and tell the students this.

A while after Lupine left, Draco finally returned to normal. He retreated from Alberta's arms in embarrassment, and there was even a hint of pink on his usually pale face, which made his face look normal many.

"...Thank you, thank you." He thanked in a low voice, lowered his head, not daring to look at Alberta's expression.

Alberta just thought it was funny, patted the top of his head, pushed the chocolate in front of him, and motioned him to eat some.

After such an accident, no one was in the mood to continue chatting.The box maintained a silent environment until the train arrived at the station.

People scrambled to get off the car, and the cries of owls and cats mixed together, making it look a bit eerie.

It was very cold on the platform, and it was raining patteringly, which made it very cold for people.

"First graders, please go this way." Hagrid's voice sounded warm and familiar at this moment.

Alberta and the others walked along the muddy road along the flow of people. On the way, they saw Neil not far away, but they couldn't get to him because of the flow of people.Neil had no choice but to gesture to show that he was fine.

When they finally sat in the carriage, they all breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"To be honest, when I saw Draco sitting in His Highness's arms just now, I was really shocked." Blaise, who had recovered a little, teased.

"Shut up Blaise!" Draco growled sternly.

"Oh, if the members of His Royal Highness's support team find out about this, Draco, you will be torn apart!" Pansy also had the strength to laugh at Draco together.

Draco's blush became more obvious when he was told this, but he was trembling, but he couldn't speak.

Alberta glanced at the two guys, but patted Draco's back with her hand, comforting her mouth: "Okay, don't pay attention to these words, we will have dinner later, and go back to the dormitory and have a good rest one night."

Blaise and Pansy were told by Alberta, and they didn't provoke Draco anymore.

When they sat on the long table, thousands of candles illuminated Hogwarts like daylight, and the silverware reflected dazzling light. Everything seemed to be a world away from what happened on the train before.But they all knew that it was not a dream, it happened for real, they were once so close to the dementor, so close that they could see the filthy, shriveled existence in the large black robe.

"I will definitely learn to 'call God for protection'." Draco whispered, his tone full of unwillingness.

The sorting ceremony was going on slowly, and when the ceremony was over, Alberta saw Hermione and Harry rush over and sit in the vacant seats in Gryffindor.Some of the students have already spread the reason why the two of them were late.

Alberta frowned, but she was a little concerned about the reason—Harry passed out when he ran into a dementor?

She didn't care what happened to Harry, but wanted to know if Hermione was like this too.But because of the occasion, she could only look at Hermione from a distance, confirming that the other party's mood was not bad, and then shifted her gaze to other places.

Dumbledore stood up and began to speak: "Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year. I have a few things to say, because one of them is more serious. I hope that after you are attracted by the rich dinner Say it before..."

He cleared his throat and continued, "Just as you were searched on the Hogwarts Express, now our school is hosting dementors from Azkaban, who will be here on a mission from the Ministry of Magic." He paused. There was a pause, as if to give everyone time to digest the news, and then continued, "They are guarding the entrance of the auditorium. During the time they are guarding, I strictly declare that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission .Dementors are not fooled by all kinds of tricks and dress-ups, and the invisibility cloak is useless. Dementors don't understand begging and excuses by nature, so I warn you not to give others reasons to hurt you .I'll let the best students, our new wave of bright youth, make sure you don't have trouble with dementors."

After this passage, no one moved or spoke. It seemed that everyone was frightened by what he said.

Dumbledore continued, but his tone was much lighter: "Of course, there is another piece of good news. We are very happy to welcome two new teachers to teach at Hogwarts this year. First of all, Professor Lupine, he has been willing to accept teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts course."

Sparse applause resounded from the audience, it seemed that everyone didn't welcome this shabby-looking male wizard who was dressed in shabby clothes.

"As for the second new teacher." When the sparse applause stopped, Dumbledore continued to introduce, "Well, I regret to tell you that the professor in charge of our Protection of Magical Creatures class, Professor Kettleburn, retired last year. He would like to spend more time with his remaining lambs. However, I am pleased to inform you that the vacant seat will be filled by Hagrid, who has agreed to take over the teaching duties and has agreed to still carry out his gamekeeper duties."

Hearing the news, Draco almost fainted, he gritted his teeth and said, "Oh, Merlin, I actually chose the protection of magical creatures class! This is simply unacceptable!"

"Come on, Draco, I thought you should have thought of this a long time ago... Look at the book of that course! Ah, it's a good thing I didn't take this course!" Blaise said as if to comfort Draco said, but the expression on his face was very gloating.

Pansy also glanced over with a self-made expression.

Of the three, only Draco took Care of Fantastic Creatures.As for Alberta, she didn't take this course last year, so naturally she won't take this course this year.

In this regard, Draco could only groan in a low voice, put his hand on his forehead, and didn't want to look at the half-giant who was so happy that he was going crazy.

The author has something to say: I went to take graduation photos today, and I was bitten by mosquitoes on the lawn. QAQ obviously only needed to shoot three times in a row, and it took more than ten seconds, but I waited for more than an hour orz...

At night, the computer was extremely hot, and it was also stuck to death. It was stuck for more than an hour... My broken laptop... When I work and make money, I must change the desktop!
