Chapter 11: The Dementors Strike

The train slowed down suddenly. Sitting opposite Daphany by the window, Draco, who had been whispering to Pansy, looked up and said with some confusion, "Did I feel wrong or what?" How does it feel like the train is slowing down? ”

"It's really slowing down!" Angelina on the side nodded, also a little puzzled.

Draco looked out the window, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Puzzled, he said, "According to the time, there should be a long distance from the academy." ”

"Well, it should be at least four or five hours away!" Cho Zhang, who was huddled next to Daphany, also said with some confusion.

The train was getting slower, but the rain was getting heavier outside. Finally, with a short, high-pitched creaking sound, the train came to a complete stop.

There was the sound of ping-pong in the distance, and I didn't know what was going on for a while. At the same time, all the people in the train were suddenly extinguished. A few girls at the door let out a low exclamation and squeezed into the carriage.

"What's going on?" Draco exclaimed, a little panic in his tone.

Daphine felt that Luna, who was in her arms, suddenly shrunk, and then her whole body began to tremble slightly.

"What's wrong, Luna?" Daphany asked in a low voice, revealing Luna.

"Yes...... There's something scary, there's something scary to come! Luna in her arms whispered, her voice a little stumbling, her teeth chattering slightly, obviously frightened.

Daphine knew that Luna sensed the presence of the Dementors. This little Nizi's supernatural physique can feel a lot of things that ordinary people can't feel. At last year's Halloween party, she clearly felt the presence of the basilisk. At this point, there was no doubt that she sensed the presence of the Dementors.

Compared to the basilisk, which is only a living demonic creature because of its killing intent, the existence of Dementors is much more evil. So Luna also felt its presence faster.

"Luna, don't be afraid, my sister is here." Daphne gently patted Luna's back, flipped her left wrist, her wand flicked to her hand, and whispered to a few people around her, "Take out your wand, Draco, fluorescence!" ”

When the others heard this, they all took out their wands and held them in their hands. Draco also performed fluorescence as he was told. There was a slight light in the room. Everyone's panicked mood calmed down a little.

For no reason, a biting eerie chill hit. In a moment, the glass of the carriage was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

"Something!" A girl near the door suddenly let out a low voice, because it was too dark, and there were a little more people in the room, and Daphany couldn't tell who was making the sound for a while. But immediately she saw what caused her to whisper.

It was a cloaked, ceiling-high monster. Its face is completely hidden in a turban, and it is impossible to see exactly what it looks like. With its appearance, a chilling feeling spreads. Inexplicably, it makes people feel depressed, as if they suddenly become unhappy, and the whole person is depressed and sad.

Dementors!

It was also the first time Daphany had faced a Dementor. Rao is profound brain occlusion, Rao is mental power is very outstanding, and Daphany still feels that her emotions are uncontrollably low.

What a powerful spiritual impact!

Daphine felt that she had underestimated the Dementors before. I thought that Harry in the third year could deal with it, so it wouldn't be a big deal to think about the Dementors. But Daphne ignores that Dementors are dangerous magical creatures of four stars!

Harry can cope with it because Harry has suffered a lot since he was a child, but he can still maintain a sunny and upright attitude, and his heart is far from being comparable to ordinary people. Even if his mental strength is not as good as that of Daphany, his is not inferior or even surpassing.

The same is true of Lupin, who can be easily suppressed, and Lupin, like James Potter and Sirius Black, is known as one of the best young wizards of our time. Since he was a child, he became a wolf slave because he was infected by werewolves, and he can be said to be in the deepest darkness, but he has never been depressed or sunk, and the deep darkness still yearns for light. This kind of will gave him a powerful guardian spirit.

Both of these can be said to be special beings, therefore, they are the most afraid of Dementors, but they are also the most able to deal with Dementors. Comparatively speaking, other wizards, even though they have powerful magical powers, are few who are not afraid of Dementors. Azkaban is so feared, and the Dementors are indebted!

"Whew...... Calling the gods to protect you! A trilling spell came out of the doorway, and Angelina held her wand, the tip of which emitted a dazzling silver light. Angelina knew from the time she was learning the Patronus Charm that this magic could ward off Dementors. But Angelina never imagined that there would really be a chance to practice with Dementors so soon.

Angelina is extremely talented and diligent in practice. Although he was only in the fifth grade, he was at the top of the academy in terms of both magic and magic control. While practicing at Lestrancy Manor, she had even faintly appeared as a prototype of an entity patronus. After nearly a month of practice, even if there was an entity, it would not be a surprise to Daphany. doll

However, when it came time to actually face the Dementors, Angelina's performance was far from what she expected.

The silver light on the head of the staff was dazzling, but the scale was not large. It just faintly formed a light shield, and looked at the steps that blocked the Eater of Souls from stepping into the carriage.

"Divine Guard!" Another voice rang out. The direction is the next room. The same female voice. There was another gleaming silver shield in the carriage, but it was slightly worse than Angelina's.

This level of Patronus can only defend against the Dementors, but it can't dispel them. The Dementors were apparently aware that there were a lot of merry spirits here—Daphany and the others had a good conversation. There's also an air of fear that attracts it. It was Luna, who had sensed this terrible evil presence long before the Dementors appeared, exuding an aura of fear.

Feeling the violent trembling of Luna in her arms, Daphany naturally couldn't sit idly by. Holding Luna tightly with her right hand, Daphany raised her left hand and chanted the incantation as well.

A silver light far beyond Angelina's Patronus emanated from the tip of Daphine's wand, rippling with powerful silver waves. Originally, the Dementor who was still trying to move forward against Angelina and the Patronus sent by the girl next door was obviously stunned, and then quickly retreated.

A dazzling silver light enveloped the entire carriage, and the students who were shrouded in silver light felt that the original biting cold and soul-soaking fear were dispelled at once. Instead, there is a cozy, warm feeling.

With the addition of Daphine, Angelina, who was originally unable to exert the original power of the Patronus due to the pressure of the Dementor's soul, gradually found her senses. The cold feeling was gone, and Angelina's heart was filled with her happiness. Later, I also found the belief and feeling of steadfast protection when I summoned the guardian spirit.

"Divine Guard!" Angelina shouted the spell again, and the silver light was flourishing. The next moment, a large bird condensed in the silver light. The big bird had feathers like knives, a sharp beak that was wide and long, and a pouch underneath, which turned out to be a big pelican!

The silver pelican flapped its wings and rushed towards the Dementor, knocking it away with a thud. When the Dementor got up again and floated away, it was visibly shorter. The height of the roof of the carriage, which was originally able to withstand more than three meters high, shrank to just over two meters, and was obviously hit hard by Angelina's patron saint.

Dafanie felt sour, Angelina's big pelican handsome batch. Knocked the Dementor off the head with one blow. And although his Patronus forced the Dementors to retreat step by step, none of them had the same powerful effect as the Great Pelican. The difference between the physical and non-physical patron saints is vividly reflected at this time.

The student next door who used the Patronus also came over to say hello, and it turned out to be Penelo Criwatt, the prefect of Ravenclaw. For some reason, she didn't stay in the prefect's box, but here.

But after saying hello to a few people, Penelope went to the captain's box at the front of the carriage. If something like this happens, the prefect will definitely meet and make rounds.

This is not the only case in the carriage.

The Patronus is the seventh grade... Elective questions for the exam. If you want to get an O (excellent) in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, then this magic can add a lot of points to the student.

Therefore, the seventh year students of the academy, if they are from a family or work hard, have all studied and studied this magic. Although only Angelina summoned the physical Patronus in the entire train, six or seven Patronus still blocked the three Dementors who entered the carriage without harming the students. By the time the prefect and train conductor made a move, the Dementors were all driven out.

"Everyone's alright, right?" A low, tired voice came from the door. A middle-aged man in a shabby robe with tan hair mixed with gray hair stood in the doorway - Remus Lupin.

When Lupin arrived, Dafanie had just handed out a circle of chocolates to a group of little girls in the carriage. Although no one in the carriage was attacked by the Dementors, the chill invaded everyone's bodies. Daphine had known that the Dementors would appear, and had prepared a whole bunch of chocolates of all tastes.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, Lupin smiled awkwardly: "My name is Remus Lupin, and I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at the school!" It seems like there was a fight between the Patronus and the Dementors just now. ”

"Ah, yes, Professor Lupin!" I heard that he is a professor in the college, and although this professor is dressed in a down-style manner, a professor is a professor. The highest grade in the room was Angelina, and she happened to be at the outermost part of the carriage because she had just resisted the Dementors. Best for answering.

"I vaguely see an entity Patronus, did you summon it? What is your name? What grade is it? Lupin asked with interest as he looked Angelina up and down.

"I called, Professor." Angelina smiled sweetly: "My name is Angelina, Angelina Johnson." A Gryffindor 5th grader! ”

"Is it only in the fifth grade that you can summon an entity Patronus?" Lupin was slightly surprised, Dumbledore had told him before he was hired that Hogwarts hadn't taken a decent Defence Against the Dark Arts class in years. Especially last year and the year before that, it was like a pit.

But what does this mean? The Patronus Charm is in the seventh grade. A fifth-grader can not only use the high-difficulty magic that can add extra points to the exam, but also reach the advanced entity state, is this not a good class? So what should it be like to have a good class?

"Well, excellent! Fifth-graders can use the Patronus Saint I've seen quite a few. It's very rare to be able to summon an entity Patronus! Although Lupin's heart was turbulent, his face was not revealed. With a word of praise, seeing that everyone was okay, he walked towards the front end of the train. However, since the lights of the carriage were not yet on, he did not notice Daphine, who was hiding in the darkness and watching him with interest.
