This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Chapter 604: Sirius disappears

The driver of the Hogwarts Express is a middle-aged wizard who is married to the fat witch in the snack cart. ♝♦ ♦♦

The train, which had stopped for more than half an hour, started again.

On the way, Lupin noticed that Vincent always looked at the compartment on the road intentionally or unintentionally.

"Wayne, leave this to me."

Vincent nodded seriously, "Okay, Professor."

Although he looks poor, he is much more reliable than Quirrell and Lockhart.

He walked out of the cab alone and suddenly frowned.

Lupin knows the Patronus Charm, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to Apparate to Hogwarts.

Appearing in the school bus and in the same compartment with Harry...

"Wayne!"

Vincent walked past Draco, who clenched his fists.

If it wasn't a coincidence, then Lupin should be arranged by Dumbledore to protect...

"Wayne! Stop right there!"

Vincent, whose thoughts were disrupted again, stopped.

He looked back at Draco, whose face was flushed, and then continued to walk forward.

Sirius's target was Harry, so if he had to choose someone, he should choose someone with a higher level of magic.

Lupin was not irresponsible, but after seeing the patronus of the lion outside, he chose to take care of the unconscious Harry first.

Since he was Dumbledore's man, he could finally rest assured this school year...

"Wayne!" Draco ran forward to block the way.

He looked very angry, much angrier than when he was beaten in the previous two years.

"What a lousy youth representative!

Do you think you can ignore me just like this!"

Vincent was puzzled.

He didn't provoke him, it was inexplicable.

"Malfoy, you are just being sentimental, right?"

Draco clenched his fists tighter.

"I have never taken you seriously, can you be a little self-aware?"

"Wayne!

!" This scream was louder than the previous scream.

Lupin in the cab came out, as did Percy and several prefects.

Draco was being watched by more and more students, breathing heavily, and looked like he was going to hit someone.

"Malfoy, I'm leaving first." Vincent passed by him again.

Reason overcame impulse.

Why humiliate yourself if you can't beat him anyway.

But it was so frustrating!

Draco's fists were clenched so tightly that veins popped out, and his eyes were fixed on the back of the person walking away.

...

Back to compartment W,

Vincent briefly told what happened just now.

Of course, he didn't say that Sirius was targeting Harry, nor did he say why Lupin was the new professor.

The twins' mouths were too big, and the friends had just faced the Dementors.

"Not Nagini?" Daphne looked a little disappointed.

She had always wanted to meet this witch who was also tortured by the blood curse.

The same goes for Hermione.

"Nagini and her sister have opened a shop in Hogsmeade. We can visit them anytime."

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms.]

The days of sneaking out are gone, and I can finally do it openly.

Uh... and Astoria.

Vincent regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

Her big eyes were shining, and he really couldn't bear to leave her behind.

It was still raining outside, but it was much lighter than before.

The train arrived at the station, and this thrilling journey finally ended.

"First-year students, this way!" A familiar loud voice.

Hagrid held a lantern and a pink umbrella to greet the freshmen to cross the lake in the traditional way.

Astoria opened the umbrella that Daphne handed to her and trotted over.

The remaining students got into the carriage parked on the platform.

Before Vincent went up, he touched the thestral's head, which was a little painful.

It is said that they like the smell of blood, and it just so happens that they have confiscated a lot of dragon blood from the bat cave.

"Moo——" After getting some dragon blood, the Thestrals became obviously excited.

It licked Vincent's face affectionately with its tongue.

"Don't do that, it's itchy——"

Seeing him playing with the air, the students felt that the carriages they were sitting in seemed to be ready to move.

Sure enough, the Thestrals all came.

At least a hundred carriages, and a large bottle of dragon blood was quickly empty.

Vincent, who was covered in sticky water, decided to prepare more next year.

As a school director, of course he had to seek benefits for the school, how could he be as stingy as Master Lucius.

Sitting on the carriages, the Thestrals did not run like in previous years, but spread their wings one after another.

One carriage after another was pulled into the sky, and the students enjoyed the feeling of flying.

Hermione sighed, "If Professor Snape knew, he would definitely go crazy against us."

Vincent, who was sitting opposite, shrugged indifferently, "He has been targeting us for a long time, how bad can he be?"

James and Alfred gave him a thumbs up.

Neville stopped shrinking his neck.

"Ah--" Hermione looked at Daphne, who smiled but didn't say anything.

She pulled the corner of her mouth, "There are many courses this semester, you should not have time to steal-to confiscate potion materials of unknown origin, right?"

Vincent blinked his big eyes, "Don't worry, if there is any action, I will definitely call you."

Neville asked curiously: "What confiscation action?"

Hermione spread her hands helplessly, "This is a secret."

James and Alfred nodded at the same time.

For this year's class notes, they stopped being curious.

Compared to the bumpy mountain roads, the feeling of flying is indeed much better.

Not only is the experience more comfortable, but the speed is also much faster.

In less than 10 minutes, the students can already see Hogwarts Castle.

The carriage flew over two magnificent wrought iron gates.

There were two strange black shadows wearing hoods in the middle of the stairs.

"It's a Dementor!" Hermione had just finished speaking when Vincent had his wand in his hand.

Neville mustered up his courage and leaned his head towards the small car window.

They were motionless, probably standing guard.

Vincent opened the door and sat on the back of the Thestral, staring at them coldly.

He had not received any notice from the Ministry of Magic that Dementors would be deployed in the school, not even from Dumbledore and the interim directors.

Temporary decision?

Enforcement?

No matter which one it was, Sirius Black was probably completely gone after Harry's birthday.

There were security checks and guards.

If this goes on, it will affect daily life sooner or later.

Even if the Dementors don't make any movement, Vincent's wand is always pointed at them.

The carriage stopped in front of a stone staircase leading to the castle gate.

He touched the forehead of the Thestral that hurt his hand, and jumped off the back that was so thin that the spine could be seen.

As soon as he stood firm, he heard a gloating laugh from behind.

"Potter!" Draco stopped in front of Harry and pushed Ron away with his elbow.

"I heard you fainted just now? That old Dementor must have scared you?"

"Get out of here, Malfoy!" Ron gritted his teeth.
