The figure under the black robe took a long breath, but it didn't just breathe in air, but something else.

Just when everyone is feeling cold.

Lupin walked up to the shadow, pulled out his wand, and said, "We don't have Sirius Black here, get out!"

The black shadow did not move, it looked around, as if a hunter saw his prey, it was a delicious breath, so that it was willing to leave.

Lupin raised his wand and recited a spell, and a silver bolt of silver shot out of his wand towards the black.

The shadow seemed to be terrified of the silver thing, and it turned around, fluttering away.

But a faint glow from Harry's fingertips flew into the black shadow's massive body.

Bang.

The black shadow suddenly exploded, like a balloon bursting from too much inflation, and a few wisps of gray smoke drifted away.

Hermione didn't see it, thinking that Lupin had used the magic to defeat the Shadow, but Lupin glanced at Harry and didn't say anything.

The lights in the car flickered a few times, then they all came on.

Lupin explained to them, "It was the Dementors, the guards sent by the Ministry of Magic to capture Sirius. ”

Lupin broke open a piece of chocolate and said, "If you encounter a Dementor and get hurt by it, eating some chocolate will work very well, but I don't think you need it......"

He put the chocolate on the table and said, "I'll go see how the driver is doing, and hopefully he can start the train again." ”

Astoria quickly picked up the chocolate and said, "Yes, I think Mr. Bigfoot needs some chocolate." ”

Lupin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

After a while, the floor was shaking...... The Hogwarts Express is running again.

Professor Lupin is back.

Blake was much better, no longer curled up under his chair.

Lupin said, "It's almost Hogwarts, and we're still ten minutes away. ”

Hermione suddenly said, "Harry, what about your eagle, it's raining so hard outside, why didn't it fly back?"

Harry said, "I put it away because I don't need it anymore to help me carry letters and mail things." ”

Hermione said, "yes, it's certainly not as fast as the Phantom Shift. ”

The rest of the journey was quiet, except for Hermione to look at Lupin frequently.

Lupin said, "Miss Granger, if you have any doubts, feel free to ask. ”

Hermione said embarrassedly, "Professor, you said the Dementor was sent by the Ministry of Magic, so why did it attack us?"

"Dementors are of low intelligence, they only obey simple orders, they don't have human feelings, and it's more appropriate to say they're anomalous creatures," Lupin said. They feed on human emotions, and the emotions of the children in this train are probably the most wonderful things for them, so the Dementors can't help but absorb your good things. ”

"If this happens, will the Dementors be transferred?"

Lupin shook his head: "I'm afraid not, the Ministry of Magic is not so talkative, and no one was hurt this time." ”

"Oh. Hermione sulked.

The Dementors just now felt really uncomfortable, as if everything had become hopeless.

Soon, the train stopped at Hogsmeade Station, and the students got off one after another, and the scene was chaotic. The owl was calling, the cat was barking, and Neville's pet toad was croaking under his hat. The cold air on the small platform was pressing, and the heavy rain that was cold to the bone marrow was pouring down.

"First-year freshman, go this way!" shouted a familiar loud voice.

Harry turned to see Hagrid's huge figure on the other side of the platform, carrying a bright lamp, beckoning the panicked first-year students to come over and cross the lake in the traditional way.

On the other side there were more than a hundred horse-drawn carriages carrying the remaining students into the school.

Harry, Zhang Qiu, Hermione, Astoria took one.

The carriage drove to two imposing iron gates, flanked by stone pillars topped by winged boars.

"Ahh

It turned out that two horrible dementors wearing hoods, one on each side, were standing guard at the door.

As Harry's carriage drove by, the Dementor figure swayed, as if noticing.

So, Blake was honest in the car.

The carriage sped down the long uphill drive to the castle. Hermione poked her head out of the tiny car window, watching the many corner towers and towers get closer and closer to them.

Finally, the carriage staggered to a halt and the school arrived.

Hermione and Zhang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The four of them followed the crowd up the stone steps, through the majestic oak door, into the large and deep foyer.

There were flaming torches, and a magnificent marble staircase led upstairs.

On the right, the door to the auditorium has opened.

Glancing at the enchanted ceiling...... Tonight is a dark and cloudy sky.

It's not a smart thing to do.

Even though the weather outside was so bad, Dumbledore chose to present this kind of weather.

Students are entering the auditorium.

A voice rang out: "Potter, Granger, come with me." ”

The Transfiguration teacher, Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor House, was shouting at them through the heads of the crowd.

She is a solemn-looking witch with her hair tied up in a tight bun and a pair of square glasses over her sharp eyes.

"There's no need to be nervous...... I just want to talk to you in the office. She said to them.

Talking to Professor McGonagall is an unsettling thing for any Gryffindor student.

But......

"We don't get nervous because we're good boys. Hermione said.

No way, good grades, in front of the teacher, just do whatever you want.

Professor McGonagall: "Uh...... That's good......"

Zhang Qiu smiled and said goodbye to Harry, and then she also entered the auditorium with Astoria.

Together with Professor McGonagall, they walked through the foyer, up the marble staircase, and down a hallway.

Professor McGonagall's office is small, but it has a warm fire.

Although it is true that the weather is relatively cold today, it is ...... It's September.

As they walked in, Professor McGonagall motioned for Harry and Hermione to sit down, and she herself sat down behind her desk.

"Harry, I'm going to talk to you about your application to go to Hogsmeade for the weekend, I know your uncle won't sign it for you, don't think about asking me or Dumbledore to sign it for you. I wouldn't agree. Because it's dangerous out there...... I'll tell you what's going on when things are settled...... But Dumbledore didn't know which tendon was wrong, and even said that you would protect yourself...... Oh my God, do you think you're a third-grader who can make a ...... Ahem...... You have to stay at school on weekends anyway......"

Professor McGonagall had expected Harry to be angry, perhaps pleading, but even then she wouldn't relent.

Unexpectedly, Harry said, "Professor, I agree with you very much, and I won't follow anyone who pulls me out of the school......"

"Uh...... Oooh...... It's good that you understand. Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Harry, then you go downstairs for a banquet first, I'm going to talk to Hermione about her lessons. ”

"Well, okay. ”

Hermione was still nervous when she saw that Harry was leaving, and she said with some uneasiness, "Professor, I filled in all the courses, and I didn't mean to be a prank......"

Professor McGonagall waved her hand and said, "Peace of mind child......"

Harry then left.
