Leah said worriedly, "That's kind of bad. "www.biquge.infoGetting from the station to Hogwarts Castle in the pouring rain is not a pleasant task.

The raindrops hit the window, and neither Hermione nor Leah spoke, just curled up quietly in their seats, hugging each other for warmth. It was still sunny when they came to the station during the day, but they didn't expect it to rain so hard at night, and the two girls were a little thin. Phyllis asked Amy to bring a blanket and drape it over the girls, and with the thick blanket to keep them warm, they felt much more comfortable and slowly fell asleep.

As the train continued northward, the rain began to fall heavier, and the window panes took on a thick, sticky gray that deepened until the lights in the hallway and on the luggage racks came on. The train swayed, the rain knocked on the windows, and the wind howled.

I don't know how long it took, but Hermione said in a daze, "We're almost there, aren't we?" ”

Liya opened her sleepy eyes, stretched out her hand to look at her watch, and said, "It's almost, it's finally here, this train is really tiring." Just as she was about to lift the blanket to change her clothes, the train suddenly shook and stopped, and there was a thudding sound in the distance, indicating that the luggage had fallen from the shelf, and then, all of a sudden, the lights on the train went out, and everyone was thrown into complete darkness.

"What's going on?" Leah said aloud, her eyes dark and she couldn't see anything.

It didn't take long for Leah to escape this complete darkness, and a ball of light appeared at the tip of Hermione's wand, bringing a glimmer of light to the carriage.

Damn, Leah scolded herself, and was preempted again, she drew her wand, chanted the incantation, and a ball of light appeared on the tip of her wand.

With the two lights of light, the girls' vision is much clearer, they look around, there is no change in the carriage, Professor Kate is still sitting against the window, is closing his eyes, seems to feel the uneasiness of the girls, Professor Kate said lightly: "It's okay, sit down." ”

"Oh, okay." Leah and Hermione agreed and sat down again, Professor Kate's indifferent tone gave them some sense of security, it was indeed a lot more reassuring to have such a powerful professor by their side.

"What's going on?" As soon as Hermione's words fell, she suddenly shuddered, and an extremely cold aura poured into the carriage.

By the light from the tip of their wands, they saw the door of the carriage slowly open, and a cloaked, ceiling-high monster appeared in the doorway. Its face was completely hidden under its turban, and a hand protruded from its cloak, which shimmered, gray, thin, and crusted, as if something had died, soaked in water, and rotted...... Less than a second after the hand appeared, the monster under the cloak seemed to sense the gaze of others, and suddenly shrank its hand into the folds of the black cloak. Then, something beneath the turban, whatever it was, took a breath, long, slow, and trembling, as if trying to suck something other than air from the surroundings.

Leah and Hermione felt like they were being thrown into the frozen lake, the cold to the bone seemed to freeze their blood, the light at the tip of the wand flickered, and they couldn't maintain this simple lighting magic.

Leah's mind struggled to fend off the cold and fear as she pondered, this was ...... Dementors? She had heard her father tell her about such terrible monsters, how could they be in the Hogwarts train? But no matter what it was, she couldn't lose again this time, she couldn't lose to Hermione again, and with this thought in her heart, Leah struggled to support it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Phyllis suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes exuding a sharp golden light, like the mythical Valkyrie, and she said a word majestically: "Get out!" ”

I don't know if it's my hallucination, but Leah vaguely seems to see two golden swords shooting out of Phyllis's eyes. Seeing these two sharp swords, the dementor fled in a panic, and the door of the carriage was closed again.

Phyllis has two pieces of soul equipment full of the power of holy light, Bridget's eyes and the heart of a holy woman, with these two things on her body, dementors who are restrained by holy light even dare to be presumptuous in front of themselves.

After the Dementors retreated, Leah and Hermione slowly recovered, at which point Amy brought over two cups of warm black tea, along with two large pieces of chocolate.

Phyllis said, "Have a cup of tea and some chocolate, and you'll be much more comfortable." After a pause, she added, "You're all doing well this time. "It's amazing that a kid of this grade can hold up in front of Dementors for so long.

The girls didn't speak, just silently drank tea and ate chocolate, and after a while, they felt their hearts warm again, and then the lights on the train came back on.

Hermione asked, "What was that?" ”

Seeing that Professor Kate was still recuperating, Leah replied, "It should be a Dementor, I heard my father say that it is an extremely filthy and terrible monster." In the rest of the journey, Leah introduced Hermione to the Dementors, and finally she frowned and said, "How did they end up here?" ”

As they spoke, the train stopped again, this time at the station, and Leah and Hermione changed their clothes in Amy's drapery-walled cubicle, changed into wizard's robes, and followed Phyllis out of the carriage.

Walking along the platform, the rammed earth path was already muddy with rain-soaked mud, but fortunately the rain had stopped. In the plaza at the end of the road, hundreds of invisible horse-drawn carriages are waiting for Hogwarts students.

As she got closer, she could smell a faint musty smell of mildew and straw in the carriage, and Phyllis said, "Can't Hagrid clean all the carriages?" Come with me. So saying, he led the two girls to a carriage that was somewhat peculiar. It's not that the carriage has any extra decorations, it's just that it's clean and doesn't look like it was made by Hagrid at all.

Phyllis said, "Alright, let's take this carriage." This was something that Phyllis had for Amy to prepare in advance, and Hagrid was noncommittal, although in his opinion, the young professor with a habit of cleanliness was a bit too "pretentious". But other than that, she didn't take anyone lightly, not even he, the caretaker of the Forbidden Forest, didn't feel any contempt when talking to Professor Kate. This was already very touching to this big man who had been criticized when he was growing up, so when Professor Kate said that he wanted to get an exclusive carriage, he did not hesitate at all and directly agreed.

The carriage took off and came to a halt in the open space in front of the castle. Phyllis walked down with Leah and Hermione, and Amy took care of carrying her luggage back to her home at Hogwarts Castle, as well as Hermione's chest.

Walking to the door of the hall and seeing some people gathered there, Hermione squeezed in to see that Harry and Draco were confronting each other. After that duel next to the Forbidden Forest, Drake didn't dare provoke Hermione, but it was okay to trouble Harry.

As soon as Hermione was about to speak, she saw Professor Lupin, whom they had met in the carriage, come over and say in a somewhat hoarse but gentle voice, "Is something wrong?"

Derack Malfoy glared at Professor Lupin arrogantly, looking at the patches on Professor Lupin's robe and the tattered box, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Kate's indifferent Professor Kate also coming over, and his arrogance suddenly disappeared, and he bowed his head and greeted, "Professor." ”

Professor Lupin gave him a strange look, he had also heard that this little young master of the Malfoy family was not very good-tempered on weekdays, what was wrong with him today, so easy to talk to?

After a closer look, Lupin found that Draco was not looking at him, he looked back, and a cold witch with long ankle-length black hair and pure inky eyes walked over slowly, she glanced at Draco, did not speak, and walked directly up the steps.

Draco touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything and walked into the castle.

"She's Professor Phyllis Kate, right?" Lupin asked.

Ron, who was holding Harry, nodded and said, "Yes, she is Professor Kate, and she is a very domineering woman. This was Professor Kate's impression in Ron's mind - very domineering, daring to confront Professor McGonagall, and the wizard who "always" fought against Professor Snape was of course very domineering, especially since she was still a woman.

Lupin nodded and didn't speak again.

Once all the teachers and students had approached the Great Hall, the sorting ceremony began, and after the sorting ended, Headmaster Dumbledore gave a speech.

"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore said, his beard glistening with the light of the candles, "Welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year!" I have a few things to say to all of you, and one of them is very serious, and I think it would be better to make it clear before you get lost in this meal......"

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued. "When they searched the Hogwarts Express, you all know. Our school is currently hosting a number of Dementors from Azkaban, who are here to carry out official duties with the Ministry of Magic. ”

On official duty? Phyllis, who was sitting in the teacher's seat, frowned slightly, the hand of the Ministry of Magic was long enough, but it was okay, there were so many Dementors in the school, maybe there would be a chance to catch another one.

Dumbledore paused, as far as Phyllis knew, the headmaster of Hogwarts was quite unhappy with the Dementors guarding the school, and he had a fight with Fudge, the Minister of Magic.

"They are stationed at all entrances to the school's grounds," Dumbledore continued, "and I must make it clear during their stay here that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. Dementors should not be tricked into trickery or disguise - not even the Cloak of Invisibility. He added this sentence without expression, as if to mean something.

After saying these serious topics, Dumbledore's tone became lighter: "It is more gratifying that this year, I am happy to welcome two new teachers to our team, the first is Professor Lupin, who has agreed to fill the void in the Defence Against the Dark Arts course. ”

There was some sporadic and less enthusiastic applause in the auditorium. Among the well-dressed teachers, Lupin's patched robes looked particularly shabby, and many of the students were chattering about where their headmaster, who was full of strange ideas, had found such a wizard, and it was not easy to be poor.

Lupin's face was still calm and gentle, not embarrassed by the sparse applause, but Phyllis was a little upset, the students were too disrespectful to the professor, and when the applause was about to end, she put down her goblet and clapped her hands. The sound of clapping was a little conspicuous in the auditorium, but soon all the Ravenclaw students began to applaud. It seems that their "vice dean" is recognizant of Professor Lupin's level and is unhappy that their students treat a professor so slowly. In fact, this is not to blame the students, the teachers of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class that Professor Dumbledore has found for two years are "special" enough, and everyone is a little dead to the teachers who teach this course.

Seeing that the students of Ravenclaw House applauded again, the student seats of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff houses also burst into applause, but the applause of Slytherin House was still sparse, because their head, Professor Snape, the teacher of Potions class, had a particularly gloomy face. Everyone knew that Professor Snape had always wanted to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, but he had never had the opportunity, but this time Snape seemed to be particularly resentful, glaring at Lupin with a twisted expression full of hatred, and in this case, the Slytherin students had to look at it a little.

Lupin looked at Phyllis with some surprise, he didn't expect that this arrogant-looking young professor had such a great reputation in Ravenclaw College, and he could subdue this group of little guys who like to challenge authority in knowledge, it seems that this Professor Kate is not simple.

After the applause slowly fell, Headmaster Dumbledore said again, "As for the second teacher we appointed...... Well, I'm sorry to tell you that our Conservation Magical Creatures teacher, Professor Kettleburn, retired late last year to have more time with his remaining naughty ones. However, I am pleased to say that it was none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who had agreed to serve as a teacher in addition to his duties as a gamekeeper. ”

Many of the students were completely stunned, this was indeed a completely unexpected appointment, but soon, applause rang out, especially on the Gryffindor table.

Hagrid, who sat in the teacher's seat, was flushed, glaring at his big hands, his smile hidden in his messy black beard, looking a little shy, but excited. Being able to teach at such a great school means something special to Hagrid. (To be continued.) )
