gray eye to gray eye

……

All the lights suddenly went out.

"Xiao Hei..." In the dark, he groped and hugged the head of the big black dog, and found that it was trembling, "Attention everyone, there is something..."

"Lumos!" Pansy yelled, holding up his wand, the tip of which glowed faintly.

"It's coming!" Blaise added an "armor body guard" to the door of the car, pulling Pansy behind her.

He tightened his coat and shivered.

The carriage door seemed to be frozen, and was pulled open from the outside by someone "creaking and creaking".

With the faint light of Pansy's wand, standing in the doorway is a cloaked monster as tall as the ceiling.

Draco and Blaise gasped.

"Dementors!"

I don't know who shouted.

Its face was completely hidden under the hood, and a hand was stretched out from the cloak toward the carriage, the hand was shimmering, gray and thin and scabbed, like something dead and soaked in water to rot... Then, something under the hood, took a long, slow, trembling breath, as if trying to suck in something other than air from its surroundings.

Suddenly, I felt a chill go through the skin and reach the bottom of my heart, as if my heartbeat was frozen, and a sense of despair surged all over my body...

"God, guard!" Draco yelled tremblingly.

A few strands of white thread emerged from the tip of his wand, slowly forming a thin silver membrane in front of it.

The dementor seemed afraid of the thing and didn't move on.

"Call God Guard!"

A clear incantation came from the opposite carriage.

A silver eagle rushed over.

The dementors backed away again and again.

"Go away, there is nothing to look for here!" The senior opposite pointed at the dementor with his wand and said loudly.

The dementor drifted toward the back of the carriage unwillingly.

"Thank you!" Blaise said with a pale face, still scooping up his wand.

"No, it's nothing!" The seventh-grade senior said gently, "It's okay, you? It's better to eat some chocolate, it will make you feel better!"

"You know, Senior Bazel, the Patronus is very beautiful!" Draco stretched out his hand and raised his chin slightly.

"Thank you for the compliment. There shouldn't be any danger anymore, but it's better for you to stay in the carriage..." the senior said with a smile.

They thanked each other again, and the senior returned to his compartment.

Pansy scooped some chocolate out of the bag and gave it to them.

After opening his own portion, he broke off half and fed it to Xiao Hei's mouth.

It was terrified, with its big head buried in its front paws and trembling, its always energetic tail was also hidden under its stomach, and it made a slight "wow" sound from time to time.

"Xiao Hei, the monster has already left, good boy, bring some chocolate!" He patted its back and coaxed it gently.

"Shame!" Draco glanced over with disdain.

The little black tail moved, and finally lifted the title to pass the chocolate in his hand, but the big body was still trembling slightly.

"Why do dementors appear on the Hogwarts Express?" He asked puzzledly while comforting Xiao Hei.

"I don't know, Dumbledore is crazy all day long, Hogwarts will have problems in his hands sooner or later!" Draco said through gritted teeth.

There was silence in the corridor, and it was unknown whether the thing had left or not.

After a while, the radio reminded everyone to put on their school robes, and it was almost time to arrive at Hogwarts, so there was some noise on the train.

They changed their clothes quickly in silence.

When Draco came in, there was a smirk on his lips, "Potter was so frightened that he passed out, and the whole train was talking about it."

"This is Dumbledore's 'savior'!" Pansy said mockingly.

"How are Crabbe and Goyle?" He didn't want to continue the topic of "taunting Potter" again.

"It's nothing. Goyle seems to have eaten too much. He just vomited some and is busy eating back now." Draco said with a slight frown...

As you can imagine, that strange smell!No wonder Draco was frowning!

The train finally stopped at Hogwarts Station, and there was a lot of fuss when getting off: owls hooted, cats meowed, toads croaked...

Holding Xiao Hei with one hand, and dragging the suitcase with the other, he followed Draco, and was staggered by a classmate who was carrying a lot of things.

"Oh, sorry, excuse me!" The classmate hurriedly apologized while pushing forward.

Draco frowned, glared at Xiao Hei, and took the suitcase.

It was only at the beginning of September that the small platform was abnormally frozen, and the cold rain was still pouring down.

"First grade come here! First grade come here..." As in previous years, a familiar voice kept calling.

Draco looked rather sullen as the people around him pushed them along the platform, although Crabbe and Goyle stood beside him, keeping him separated from the crowd.

We followed the other students of the school onto a rough and muddy road. There were at least a hundred carriages waiting for the rest of the students except the first graders. After we climbed into a carriage and closed the door, the carriage started driving automatically, stumbling along the way.

There was a faint musty and straw smell in the wagon.

Draco's fair face was full of clouds, and he covered his mouth and nose with a veil, and the seat was covered with a delicate cushion.

Xiao Hei seemed to have slowed down a little until now, his tail swept the ground lightly, his eyes squinted and swayed with the shaking of the carriage.

"Honey, guess which course book is that "Monster Book of Monsters"?" Pansy asked while looking into the small mirror while arranging her hair.

"I don't know, but that teacher must have a strange taste!" Lili replied.

At that time, we went to the bookstore, and when the clerk and manager heard that we wanted four copies, they almost didn't cry.

While at the Familia Manor, Emma untied the rope out of curiosity.

That was a disaster!

The three house elves in Family Manor almost went crazy, screaming along with the movement of the biting book...

Pansy nodded with a giggle.

"Didn't you open it?" asked curiously.

Draco raised his chin and didn't answer at all.

"Honey, a qualified Slytherin never tries unknown dangers!" Blaise said with narrowed eyes...

Amidst the jokes, the carriage rolled forward and came to an ornate cast-iron gate lined with stone pillars and a winged boar at the top.

From the gap in the car curtain, I saw two more tall, hooded dementors standing guard on both sides of the gate.

Draco frowned hard, "How dare they? Bring this kind of thing to Hogwarts!"

"Draco, calm down!" Holding the little black head, he said through gritted teeth.

When passing through the gate, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees, and even the internal organs were affected by the chill, causing a spasm...

It didn't feel better until I passed the gate.

The carriage picked up speed on the long sloping drive until it came to the castle; from the windows one could see the many turrets and turrets approaching us.

Finally, the carriage wobbled to a stop.

As soon as they got out of the carriage, they saw Potter, Weasley and Granger getting out of a nearby carriage.

Draco regained his energy immediately, swept away the listless look on the carriage just now, his eyes lit up and walked over.

They looked at each other helplessly from behind.

Draco and Potter are like a pair of magnets, repelling each other and at the same time attracting each other inexplicably.

"Painted out, is Potter Longbottom telling the truth? He really fainted from fright." Draco said in a long tone, slowly.

Draco stopped Potter from passing the stone steps into the castle road, looking smug.

"Go away, Malfoy!" Weasley said through gritted teeth.

"Have you passed out too, Weasley..." Draco continued to speak loudly, pulling the corners of his mouth.

Seeing the new professor getting off the carriage behind on the train, he strode forward and tugged at Draco's sleeve.

"Draco!"

He pouted his mouth not far away.

The new gray-haired professor was looking over here.

Draco glanced at the professor, his eyes lingering on the patches on his robes and the tattered leather suitcase for a while, he let out a disdainful "hum", turned and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.

We walked through the huge oak door of the castle, passed through the torch-lit vestibule, walked up a magnificent marble staircase, and followed groups of students into the auditorium.

The first-year freshmen hadn't arrived yet, and the auditorium was noisy.

Draco frowned and glanced at the enchanted ceiling atop the auditorium.

It's dark and dark up there tonight.

The new students were quickly brought into the auditorium, and sister Daphne was assigned to Slytherin without accident...

Potter and Granger followed Professor McGonagall into the auditorium after the sorting ceremony.

This Sorting Ceremony was presided over by the Head of Hufflepuff—a gentle middle-aged lady—Professor Sprout.

When Potter and the others walked along the back of the auditorium, people turned to look at them, and several people pointed at Potter.

"Oh, it seems that the reputation of 'Savior' has improved a bit, because he was so frightened that he fainted!" Draco said in a mockingly drawn tone.

By this time, Potter and Granger had already sat down at the Gryffindor table.

Dumbledore stood up.

The auditorium slowly fell silent.

Ready to answer, Pansy closed her mouth.

"Welcome!" said Dumbledore, raising his voice, his several-foot-long beard gleaming in the light of candles. "Welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year! I have a few words for you all, and one of them is Very serious, I might as well get the matter out of the way before you get confused by the good meal..."

Everyone's attention was attracted.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued, "After they searched the Hogwarts Express, you must have known about it. At present, our school is going to receive a number of dementors from Azkaban. They are here to execute Ministry of Magic business."

Having said that, Dumbledore paused.

There was a "buzzing" discussion below.

"They are crazy, that is to say, there are so many underage wizards here!" Daphne complained unhappy.

Maybe she was too worried about her little sister who just entered school.

Nobody dares to scoop school jokes!

It's a pity that at this time, Pure didn't know that Dumbledore used the school to make arrangements in order to train the "Savior"...

After everyone gradually quieted down again, Dumbledore continued, "They are stationed at all entrances to the school grounds. During their stay here, it must be made clear that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. Dementors They should not be deceived by tricks or disguises - not even an invisibility cloak. Dementors don't understand pleas or excuses by nature. Therefore a warning to everyone: don't give them any excuse to hurt you. Count on the prefects , and our new presidents of the Boys' and Girls' Students' Councils, we must ensure that no student will have a conflict with a dementor."

Dumbledore paused again, and looked around the auditorium seriously. No one moved, and no one made a sound. He nodded in satisfaction, "What is more pleasing is that this year, I am very happy to welcome two new teachers to join us. Team! The first one is Professor Lupine, who generously agreed to fill in the vacancy in Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

There was some sporadic and not very warm applause in the dull auditorium.

Professor Lupine looked shabby among all the well-dressed teachers.

"Professor Snape doesn't seem to like Professor Lupine very much!" Yiyi stroked his palm and said softly.

"It's not just dislike, it's hate!" Daphne added unexpectedly.

Yes, Professor Snape was not shy about staring at Professor Lupine along the teacher's long table, his thin and ischemic face was almost distorted!

They all looked at Draco in surprise.

Draco turned his head away in embarrassment.

Obviously, his godson didn't know the inside story either.

"As for our appointment of a second teacher," Dumbledore continued after the less enthusiastic applause for Professor Lupine died away, "well, I regret to inform you that Professor Kettleburn, our teacher of the Protection of Magical Creatures, retired at the end of last year. so that he could have more time with the rest of his little rascals. However, I am happy to say that it was none other than Rubeus Hagrid who had agreed to be a teacher in addition to being a gamekeeper. job!"

There was a burst of applause from the Gryffindor table that was much more lively than that of Professor Lupine.

"I don't understand, that filthy half-giant didn't even graduate from Hogwarts!" Draco said angrily.

"Come on, Draco, maybe he has a better relationship with Dumbledore..." said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Write a letter to tell Dad that the school board should stop this!" Draco blushed slightly on his fair face.

"The school board is already interfering in Hogwarts affairs. If this matter has been announced, it can only show that the school board has other scruples, such as Dumbledore's reputation!" Blaise persuaded.

At the end of the second grade, after Lucius erased the memory of a house elf named Dobby in Malfoy Manor, he gave him a sock, and for the matter of the Chamber of Secrets, he and most of the school board members protested against Dumbledore, but at the end of the year banquet In fact, Dumbledore still added [-] points to Potter and covered up the real murderer... This shows that the school director is still unable to shake Dumbledore at all!

"A book that bites, no wonder!" Pansy said through gritted teeth.

"Well, I think the important things have been said," Dumbledore said with a smile, "let's start eating!"

The golden plates and goblets in front of us were suddenly filled with all kinds of food and drink.

The auditorium immediately echoed with laughter and the clash of knives and forks.

Instead, the long Slytherin table became quiet, with only the occasional sound of knives and forks touching lightly and the polite voice of asking for help scooping up food in the distance...

After the last piece of pumpkin pie disappeared from the golden plate, everyone fell asleep. Dumbledore said that everyone should go to bed, and there was a sound of chairs being dragged in the auditorium...
