It was getting darker and darker, and by the time Louis woke up, it was pitch black in the carriage, as if it were night.

It was getting colder and colder, and he could even see the chill he breathed in.

Outside the window, the cold rain slapped indiscriminately on the car window, making a faint crackling sound. Louis patted Catherine and motioned for her to hurry up.

He knew that the anomaly was caused by the Dementors checking the water meter.

"What's wrong?" Catherine woke up from her sleep and shivered from the cold.

Louis took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around Catherine's shoulders and put the robe over the shoulders of the two of them, which dispelled a little of the cold.

"I don't know, it's so cold all of a sudden." Louis said, looking down the aisle.

While they were taking a nap, there were still quite a few people walking back and forth in the hallway, and now no one was visible. After a while, a humanoid creature in a black cloak appeared at their doorway, screwed the door open, and stared straight at the two of them.

Eventually, the black cloak moved—but in the opposite direction, as fast as it seemed to run away.

"It's ...... Dementors?" Catherine asked with a frown, then sighed to herself, "Presumably Sirius Black, right?" Hum...... The Ministry of Magic is really getting more and more depraved, and it actually connived at this kind of thing to enter the Hogwarts train."

"Maybe they can't help it." Louis shrugged, "After all, you can't expect them to actually do anything useful - other than help Voldemort get Dumbledore in trouble."

Soon, the coldness receded like a tidal wave, and a moment later, an anxious Hermione knocked on the door of their cubicle.

"Louis, Catherine...... Go and see, Harry, Harry, ......."

"What's wrong? Don't worry." Catherine tried to calm Hermione down.

"Harry, he's fainted......" Looks like Hermione is dying.

By the time the two of them walked to Harry's cubicle, Harry was already awake, and next to him was Lupin, who had woken up.

"Eat this." Lupin handed Harry a plate of chocolate, "You're going to feel better."

Harry took the chocolate, broke off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth, the sweet taste, the unique aroma of chocolate stimulated his dopamine secretion, and even a strange warm current flowed down his throat into his stomach, and then spread to all his limbs.

All of a sudden, the negative emotions such as fear just now eased slightly. When he swallowed the chocolate in his mouth, he asked, "What was that just now, Professor?"

"A Dementor, from Azkaban, is the guard of that prison." Lupin crumpled the empty chocolate wrapper into a ball and put it in his pocket, and as he spoke, he stood up and said to a few people, "Now I'm going to go to the driver and ask about something, and you guys will talk slowly."

After Lupin turned to leave, Hermione looked at Harry in a frenzy and asked, "Harry, you're all right, right?"

"Of course I'm fine...... I just don't understand what happened." Harry said worriedly, reaching out to wipe the sweat from his face.

Hermione and Ron exchanged glances, and Harry carefully recounted what had just happened. ….

"Oh my God." Harry slapped his face with a slap in the face, "Why is everyone okay, just me fainted......" He felt very ashamed, even after eating Professor Lupin's chocolate, he still felt a little weak in his hands and feet.

Seeing that Harry was still wandering into the world, Louis smiled and explained, "Dementors are something special, they can induce deep fear in you...... Tell me, Harry, what did you just see?"

"I ......," Harry thought for a moment, "I saw a white light, and I heard a woman's scream—I was sure that woman was my mother......

Harry's face was pale, as if he had just been fished out of cold water.

At this time, Professor Lupin also came back from the front of the car, he looked at the lively crowd, and said with a smile, "Ready, students, in ten minutes, we will be at Hogwarts...... Are you alright?

Harry?"

Harry didn't ask Lupin how he knew his name, he replied in a low voice, "All right, Professor." His cheeks were slightly red as he spoke, and he looked embarrassed.

In fact, there is no need to ask why he knows his name, after all, no one is blind with such a big scar on his head......

The rest of the way, they didn't say much, and everyone went back to their carriages to pack their bags, and finally, the train finally stopped at Hogwarts Station, and it was really hectic when they got off, with the owl crying, the cat meowing, and Neville's pet toad "stick scrape, stick scrape" under his hat.

"First-year students are here!" A familiar loud voice rang out not far away, it was Hagrid, the big man standing out among the small wizards, and he was waving to the young wizards.

"Okay, you guys?" Hagrid crossed many heads and asked everyone, somewhat Shandong's feeling of this inverted sentence.

Everyone waved at Hagrid, but didn't get a chance to speak to him, as the people around them were pushing them along the platform.

This time, the treatment was still Thestrals, and Louis and Catherine sat in one with a dragon maid, and the musty smell on it made Catherine involuntarily wrinkle her delicate nose.

"Just bear with me, baby." Louis patted her smooth thighs.

"Hmm." Catherine replied in a nasal voice that she would be in fifth grade when school started.

The carriage rolled forward, and in front of it was the cast-iron gate of Hogwarts, lined with stone pillars, and Louis noticed that two guard-like Dementor pestles were guarding the gate, as if another cold wave was coming at them.

As Louis's carriage passed through the gate, the two Dementors hurriedly withdrew to the sides as if they had seen a cat's rat, and did not return until they had gone far away.

After handing over the luggage to the house-elves, Louis made his way to the Great Hall and sat down in his seat belonging to Slytherin to wait for the opening ceremony.

Behind him was Gryffindor, the same old age. Soon, other students came in one after another, filling the entire auditorium with seats – and coincidentally, no matter how many new students there were, the seats were always just right. ….

"Poo, Pote!" Draco shouted back at Harry.

Harry turned his head to see Draco looking at him with a playful expression.

"What's wrong?" Harry always felt that this kid didn't hold back any good fart.

Sure enough, Draco dragged a long tone and laughed strangely, "I heard you passed out? Pote, did you really faint?"

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Harry said through gritted teeth.

Seeing that the two were still flirting, Catherine hooked her fingers and used a little magic to attract the attention of the entire auditorium to the two of them.

With a uniform coax, Draco and Harry finally ended their unnutritious argument and turned around with red faces.

Today's sorting ceremony was different from usual, and after the branching, there was a choir organized by Professor Flitwick, Dean of Ravenclaw. Louis listened carefully for a while and realized that they were singing fragments from Shakespeare's classic play Macbeth.

Everyone in the choir was holding a large toad, which was very much in line with the Muggle stereotype of wizards, and many of the new Muggle-born classmates and young wizards began to applaud.

Should I say it or not, Dean Flitwick is doing a good job.

After singing, it was Professor Dumbledore's turn. Although he is very old, he always gives people an energetic image, and people often say that he is the greatest wizard, but everyone respects him for more than that, because many people can't help but trust Dumbledore when they see him.

Harry, in particular, couldn't help but feel that even Dementors were nothing to fear when he saw Dumbledore smiling at his classmates.

"Welcome." Professor Dumbledore said, "Welcome to the new school year

I have a few things to say to you at Hogwarts, 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, "You must all know about the Hogwarts Express after they searched the Hogwarts Express. At the moment our school is hosting a number of Dementors from Azkaban, who are here to carry out official duties for the Ministry of Magic."

He paused, and Louis understood that Dumbledore was unhappy with the Dementors guarding the school.

"They're stationed at all entrances to the school's grounds." Dumbledore continued, "During their stay here, I must make it clear that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. Dementors shouldn't be tricked into trickery or disguise—not even the Cloak of Invisibility." He added the phrase without expression, and almost called Harry's name.

"Dementors don't know what a request or an excuse is, so I warn you all not to give them any excuse to hurt you, and I hope that professors, prefects, and the new student council president, you will make sure to avoid conflicts between students and Dementors."

Dumbledore paused again before continuing, "I'm glad to have two new teachers join our teaching team this year."

"The first is R· Professor J. Lupin, who has graciously agreed to fill the vacancies in the Defence Against the Dark Arts course except for the third and fifth grades." ….

The audience erupted in cheers, everyone had had enough of Snape's ordeal, even Harry, who made him Harry's savior?

Lupin was also stunned by everyone's surprise, he looked at his enthusiastic classmates and felt that he had really made the right decision - he said that it was a lie not to be moved.

"Look at Professor Snape." Louis said to Catherine with a bow.

Catherine looked over and saw Professor Snape's face—what kind of face it was, I don't know what I thought I had eaten a fly, that kind of distorted, disgusted, disgusted, disgusted expression, it was hard to imagine that Professor Snape could have made a person like Professor Snape who usually only had two faces, disgusted and expressionless.

But Snape did it.

"I guess I think Professor Lupin stole his lessons." Catherine whispered.

"Not necessarily, I think there must be a lot of stories between these two." Louis hiccuped, he knew about the feud between Snape and the Marauder Four.

Seriously, Louis admires Snape a lot, and if he were Snape, he would have greeted him without a shadow.

After the applause and cheers were over, Dumbledore continued, "Unfortunately, Professor Kettle Byrne, the teacher who has been teaching us the protection of magical beasts for several years, has decided to retire in order to have more time to care for his already mutilated body, and fortunately, I am happy to announce that he has been replaced by none other than our Rubeus Hagrid!"

With that, Dumbledore turned, his palms spread out in the direction Hagrid was sitting.

The hall erupted in cheers—not least Slytherin, but Harry, who was their best friend.

Hagrid's face was flushed as he stared at his large hands, a smile hidden in his thick beard.

Professor McGonagall tilted her head to the upper right and smiled and clapped at Hagrid, seeing that he was not making any moves, and Professor McGonagall gently slapped Hagrid with her elbow and motioned for him to stand up.

Hagrid reacted and quickly stood up, but slammed the long table in front of him, and if Professor Flitwick hadn't reacted quickly, the table would have flipped over.

Professor McGonagall put her hand on her forehead and began to wonder if it was wrong to ask Hagrid to stand up......

"Okay, I guess the important thing is said and done." Professor Dumbledore smiled and said, "So, let the banquet ...... Let's get started."

The golden plates and goblets in the auditorium were suddenly filled with sumptuous food and drink, and Louis shook his head and exclaimed, "Maybe I took the train all afternoon, and that's it."

Let's ...... for a moment."

"You're right." Catherine chuckled and picked up a piece of roasted Yorkshire pudding—it was just a pudding, but it was more like an open pie, a roasted meat.

Hogwarts has never deducted a single star from the students in terms of food and clothing, so the old students don't think there is anything new, they just eat normally and slowly. But the freshmen are different, and there are even a few freshmen from the orphanage, facing the dazzling array of delicacies in front of them, they actually have a feeling that the cow has nowhere to eat the pumpkin.

However, under the urging of the old students beside them, they still quickly joined the battle, and their posture was no less than that of Ron, who entered the school in his first year.

Now Ron is different from before, since establishing a relationship with Hermione, he no longer has the same kind of nonsense as before, but has become gentle and slow, and even specially learned from Louis and carefully studied the etiquette of dining.

I have to admit that love is the easiest thing to change a person.

Poor Ron, toyed with.
