Chapter 158: The Dementors Attack
"Hi Neville, Luna. "Louis takes Linda to open one of the boxes on the Hogwarts train, and he sees Neville and Luna sitting in the box in an awkward atmosphere.www.biquge.info Or maybe Neville was embarrassed unilaterally, and Luna didn't care at all.
"Hello, Luis. Neville said quickly. He wanted to escape, the atmosphere was too oppressive for him, but it was good that Louis got into the box in time.
"Hello, Luis. Luna said in her ethereal-sounding voice.
Louis smiled at Luna, then he sat down next to Neville and asked, "How's the holiday going, Neville?"
Neville shuddered, and said with a look of fear on his face, "My grandmother threw me into the pyramids of Egypt and locked me up in order to exercise my courage. ”
Louis patted Neville's shoulder sympathetically, it was also a very hard thing to have such a strict grandmother. However, Neville's grandmother is also for his good, if it weren't so strict, with Neville's personality, maybe another pure-blood family would disappear.
Suddenly, the train came to a halt like a sudden brake. The four of them looked at each other, and this was the first time that a train had stopped halfway through.
"Don't you feel a little cold, is it suddenly cooling?" said Luna softly.
Louis looked around strangely, it stands to reason that the Hogwarts Express train has been magical, and no matter how cold it is outside, it can't affect the inside.
Louis cast a heat preservation charm on everyone, but it didn't seem to work, and Neville's teeth rattled.
"Flames!" Luis cast a fire spell directly.
In a disorienting scene, the fire on Louis's wand grew fainter and fainter, until it disappeared with a "poof".
Louis's face suddenly turned ugly, and it seemed that it was not the weather that was wrong, but that something disgusting had mixed up with the train.
The train was silent all of a sudden, as if there were no living creatures.
At this time, Louis slowly stood up, and he walked to the door, as if he wanted to open the door and go out.
"Young master, I think it's safer for us to be in the carriage. The little maid's face turned pale from the cold, "I don't know what's going on outside, so let's wait for the Ministry of Magic to come to the rescue." ”
"I'm afraid it's the Ministry of Magic that will cause this, so I think it's almost impossible to count on them. Louis said slowly.
"You said the Ministry of Magic did it?" Neville's eyes widened in disbelief.
In Neville's mind, the Ministry of Magic was an organization that protected them, and he never expected to be attacked by the Ministry of Magic.
"Dementors, have you heard of them?" asked Louis.
"Merlin, you're saying the Ministry of Magic let the Dementors attack our train?" shouted Neville.
"Hey, calm down, Neville. Louis shook Neville vigorously, "I'll go out and see what's going on, stay in the box, don't go out." ”
Neville's face was filled with fear, and he shrank himself in the corner of the box, as if trying to keep the Dementors from spotting him.
On the other hand, the two girls, except for being shivering from the cold, did not have much fear on their faces. In this way, Louis did not think that Neville's Gryffindor represented courage, but here he was the most timid person.
"Divine Guard!" Louis chuckled, only to see a silver-white phoenix fly out of the tip of his staff, hovering in their box, bringing them warmth.
Dementors are very evil creatures who feed on people's pleasure. Wherever they passed, everything would be silent, and it would be accompanied by cold and despair.
They passively drain energy from all around them, so the fire spell cast by Luis will be extinguished in a moment. And what they bring is not the ordinary temperature drop that makes you feel cold, they are absorbing your life energy, so it is not your body that feels cold, but your soul is slowly being devoured, bringing you despair and coldness.
To add insult to injury, there are very few spells that can damage them, and the only spell that can resist or even expel them is the Patronus Charm.
However, the Patronus Charm was a very advanced spell that was not something that a student of their age could master. Even if you can master this spell, you won't always be able to use it when the Dementors attack you.
And now the train is almost full of students, and even one or two professors won't help. Although Dementors are now nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, they are a group of untrustworthy creatures. They would obey the Ministry of Magic, just because the Ministry of Magic had made them wardens of Azkaban, so that they could soak up the pleasures of the prisoners to their heart's content.
