The Ministry of Magic sent five cars to escort them to the King's Cross train station, each driven by a wizard in a turquoise cloak, all of them looking very serious, scanning every corner with an alert gaze, Lawrence guessed that they might be members of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement or the Aurors,

When they arrived at the station safely, the Ministry of Magic seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and Mr. Weasley took the lead, and they entered platform nine and three-quarters in order.

"Hey, Penelope." Percy shouted excitedly as soon as he passed the entrance, arranging his hair and adjusting his glasses,

Harry and Ginny both laughed, behind Percy's invisible, the twins were mimicking Percy's grooming, and at last year's celebratory party, Ginny accidentally slipped her mouth, causing everyone to know that Percy was talking to Penelope of Ravenclaw. Crevatte mingled, and Percy walked toward Penelope, puffing out his chest so everyone could see his shiny student council pin badge,

Lawrence had a prefect's party, so he had to go first, before leaving he saw Mr. Weasley call Harry aside, Harry also happened to look at him, Lawrence smiled at him, and then turned around and walked into the front few carriages, when he opened the door of the prefect's room, the train also wobbly began to start, Lawrence has always cared not much about the affairs of other houses, he didn't know most of the people in the carriages, he didn't even know a few students from his own house, here, The only Gryffindor who can be called familiar is Percy,

In addition to that, he recognized Percy's girlfriend, the Ravenclaw girl with long curly brown hair, Penelope. Kerrywatt, who was the president of the schoolgirls' council, met at the Dueling Club last year, the Hufflepuff student, the tall and handsome boy Cedric. Diggory, who was the Hufflepuff sixth year prefect, smiled and beckoned to Lawrence when he saw Lawrence.

"Did you have a good summer vacation?" Diggory asked,

"Not bad, right?" Lawrence replied, "I can finally have an easy summer vacation."

"I've seen the paper about the scholarship," Diggory smiled, "Congratulations, I think it's good to give you this prize."

"Uh-huh!" Percy cleared his throat and interrupted the exchange of prefects in the room, and he briefly announced a few precautions, including the key people who should be managed in each grade, and the names of Fred and George were obviously used by him as negative teaching materials,

"Of course, as you all know, the wizarding world has not been so peaceful this year," Percy said in an old-fashioned manner, "The Ministry of Magic sent Azkaban guards to the school, as far as I know—"

"Is it a Dementor?" Lawrence interrupted Percy's speech, and hearing the word "Dementors" made each prefect a little uneasy,

"Oh, yes," Percy said quickly, "but I think the Ministry of Magic can keep them—"

"Do you believe that?" Lawrence raised his eyebrows, Percy's face was a little swollen,

"I think—" Percy was about to respond, when there was a strong tremor, and the train suddenly stopped, and everyone could hear the shouts of the other cars, and the wind crashed against the windows, and the sound of raindrops hitting the glass was particularly noticeable,

"What's going on—?" Percy asked, confused, as the lights in the carriage suddenly went out, and judging by the screams of the other carriages, it was clear that they were not the only ones who had happened.

"What's it?" Diggory said with some uncertainty, he took out his wand and lit the tip, the cold white light made Diggory's face look a little pale,

"I think it's the Dementors, those Azkaban jailers." As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, the door of the carriage was opened, and the clammy and cold air poured into the carriage, and a strong chill and a strong sense of despair swept through everyone, and the voice in Lawrence's ears became louder and louder,

"Oh! Oh my God, demons, demons." A woman's frightened voice,

"Don't do that, Lisa, calm down." A man's voice shouted,

"Forget about birthdays every year—" Lawrence said through gritted teeth, "and now force me to think about it?"

Lawrence pulled out his wand, he forced himself not to listen to the sound ringing in his ears, he thought that day Dunburydo had come to look for him at the orphanage, that he would finally be able to get out of there, that he had been allowed to study magic at a school called Hogwarts, and in the Ollivander shop, the ownerless wand was agitated, and the pulsation of excitement came from his fingers after he had obtained the magic battle......

"Call for the Guard—"

A huge silver four-legged creature flew out from the tip of Lawrence's wand, compared to the previous times, this time the Patronus Saint's strong body, there seemed to be a pair of bulges, the Patronus was like a silver lightning bolt, the Dementors who broke into the carriage were knocked into ashes, Lawrence manipulated it to fly along the corridor outside the carriage, after eliminating the Dementors in the two carriages, some of the Dementors finally began to run away when they saw the situation, a burst of white light burst out from one of the carriages at the back of the car, and the remaining Dementors did not dare to stay longer, They retreated in embarrassment, the lights in the carriage came back on, and the Hogwarts Express slowly began to move forward,

"Do you really think the Ministry of Magic can control it?" Lawrence looked at the pale Percy and asked again, and he strode out of the carriage and threw down a sentence, "Do you really believe it?" (Note 1)

Lawrence passed through the carriages one by one, most of the people were frightened, and they were not physically harmed, and a man who made Lawrence a little familiar came on, he should not be very old, but his light brown hair was mixed with some gray hair, which made him look a little old, and his clothes were full of patches, although his eyes were a little tired, but they were still full of strength,

"I think you're Lawrence. Rovander?" The wizard looked at Lawrence carefully, "I've seen your picture in the Daily Prophet, was that your patronus just now?" It's wonderful—"

"Yes—wait," Lawrence remembered where he had seen this man, his voice barely the same as it had been back then, "Are you Remus?"

"I'm sorry," Remus asked, a little surprised, "how did you know my name?"

"I remember you, that's what Professor Dunburydo remembers to call you," Lawrence added, "and that night, Halloween night, I was the little child you protected."

"Oh?" Remus's eyes widened and he muttered, "Oh my God, I should have thought of that."

"Mr. Remus, I would like to ask if any of my friends have seen me?" Lawrence said, "The red-haired twins, and Harry. Potter: They—"

"I came from the last few carriages, Harry and I were in the same carriage at the time of the incident, and there were some problems, but they were fine." Remus replied, "I think I met the twins you mentioned, and there was a little girl with pale blonde hair in the same carriage who was shaking very much, and I gave them some chocolate."

"Thank you, sir," said Lawrence,

"That's what I'm supposed to do," Remus said, "I'm a professor after all."

"Are you here to be a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts?" Lawrence asked,

"Ah, yes, I can't find anyone for that job, so Professor Dunbulido asked me for help, and I was hesitant, but I didn't really have many options, because I needed to work." Remus explained, "Let's talk at the school, and I'm going to ask the conductor how long it will be before we get to school."

───────

"So you saw him too?" Fred asked, busy sorting through orders, "That new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor."

"yes, are you all right?" Lawrence asked,

"We're fine, it's a little cold, but we don't think she's doing well." George replied, pointing to Luna, who was taking a small bite of chocolate,

"The Slytherin guys are so much worse than Luna," Fred said dismissively, "Darka. Malfoy even screamed and ran to our carriage for refuge."

"What's wrong?" Lawrence looked at Luna, "Dementors remind you of what happened last year?"

"No," Luna replied calmly, she looked like she was back to normal, "I think of my mother, she loved experiments, but she failed experiments, it was a terrible scene, I was nine years old at the time."

"Are you alright?" Lawrence stared into her silver-gray eyes and asked,

"I'm fine," Luna replied, and to her surprise, she smiled faintly, "Sometimes I still feel bad, but I still have a dad, don't I?"

"You ......," Lawrence didn't know what to answer, and an impulse made him raise his hand and gently comb Luna's long, messy hair, "You're strong."

"Thank you." Luna smiled, and she picked up the "Singing Contrarian" that she put aside again,

Lawrence looked at the twins and saw that they were winking at him, apparently they didn't think he was acting like Lawrence.

"I'm going to see Harry," Lawrence rolled his eyes, "do you know where Ginny is?"

"Ginny went to Harry before the train stopped, Lord." George said eagerly, and as he said this, he gestured to help Fred comb his hair,

"Go ahead, Lord, you need your help there." Fred grimaced, and he and George began to comb each other's hair.

"Don't be stupid, you two." Lawrence fought back, he closed the door and continued to walk towards the back of the car, he looked out the window, the sky was gray, and the wide cloak of the Dementors appeared in the clouds, apparently they were not far away, but observed the moving trains,

"Oh, Lawrence?" Remus's voice rang out from behind Lawrence,

"Professor." Lawrence asked, somewhat worriedly, "Are they ...... Do you breed?"

"No, they don't dare yet, they know it's the Ministry of Magic's bottom line," Remus squinted as he looked at the clouds, "If they breed near the school, Professor Dunbulido will kill them."

"How could Professor Dun Bullido allow such a thing to come to school?" Lawrence frowned,

"Minister Fudge promises that the Dementors won't set foot on campus." Remus said lightly,

"Do you trust him? Professor," Lawrence asked, "do you believe the Ministry of Magic can control them?"

"Sometimes it's ironic," Remus didn't answer, but calmly stated the fact, "the Ministry of Magic would rather trust this inherently evil creature than discriminate against other intelligent beings." (Note 2)

"I just met a couple of Slytherins, Decora. Malfoy's face isn't that good," Lawrence said, "I think Lucius. Malfoy will soon be in trouble with the Ministry of Magic."

"It's a blessing in misfortune that there weren't any accidents, and the train was full of students, which must have made those guys salivate." Remus said, shaking his head and changing the subject, "The conductor told me I'd be at the station in ten minutes, are you going to come with me to Harry and them?"

"Let's go, Professor." Lawrence replied,

"It's a shame it's not school yet." Remus smiled a little pityingly, "Otherwise, I'll definitely give you a few points, what a brilliant patronus."

Note 1: Percy gave me the impression that he was always making a fool of himself, and of course, he returned to Hogwarts in the seventh episode for the final battle.

Note 2: Ironic, isn't it?
