Chapter 158: Back to School
The joy in his body was sucked away, and he experienced the most painful memories he could remember, and Harry and the others were a little sluggish as if they were suffering from an illness.
The rest of the journey was a bit boring, and Harry couldn't do anything with the spirits, didn't even say a word, and waited silently for the end of this unpleasant journey.
The Dementors had been banished, but Maple and Hermione's hands were still clasped together, as if neither of them wanted to let go.
They sat together, like Harry, and they didn't speak, but they weren't bored.
Their owls, Erin and Rapp, were also playing in pairs, when Crookshan, feeling left out in the cold, meowed a few times in displeasure, but unfortunately they did not attract the attention of their owners.
I don't know how long it took for this unpleasant journey to finally come to an end. It's just that when we get to the Hogwarts terminal, the damn rain outside the window hasn't ended.
Then they heard Hagrid's familiar voice: "First-year freshmen, first-year freshmen are here!" ”
Harry immediately hurried over to greet Hagrid, who was hailing the somewhat panicked first-year students to lead them on the traditional trip across the lake.
"Are you four okay?" Hagrid probably knew about what happened on the train at this moment, and he still had a shadow on the Dementors after being innocently captured last year, so he made a point of greeting them when he greeted Maple and them.
After a brief greeting, they quickly parted ways with Hagrid and got into Thestrals' carriage.
"Wind and rain!" Maple waved his wand, and Hermione immediately seemed to have an invisible shield around hermione, and after getting off the train, whether it was a strong wind or a torrential rain, it would become invisible when it approached Hermione's body.
Seeing Harry's envious and eager expressions, Maple also added a rain spell to them with a crowd spell.
"Wind and rain!" Walking to the carriage where he was waiting, Maple cast a rain spell on Thestrals, who were pulling the cart, so that Thestrals, who were pulling the cart, would not be caught in the rain.
This time Maple didn't make any more moths, and got into the carriage honestly.
When they reached the door of Hogwarts, they saw a dementor with a turban guarding the door. Only this time they didn't feel the cold snap again, and Maple had already released the Patronus inside the carriage when she noticed them. Protected by the Patronus, they are not affected by the Dementors.
After entering Hogwarts, Maple and the others followed the crowd of people who had disembarked one after another towards the Great Hall, where the opening party was held.
But when they reached the door of the auditorium, they heard a voice stop them: "Granger, come here!" ”
Hermione stopped, surprised to see Professor McGonagall waving over the crowd.
Hermione, though a little confused, immediately followed Professor McGonagall away.
"You guys go in first, and Hermione and I will go in and look for you in a moment!" Maple spoke to Harry and Ron, and he followed in the footsteps of Hermione and Professor McGonagall.
Outside Professor McGonagall's office, Maple stopped and waited outside Professor McGonagall's office as Hermione and Professor McGonagall walked in.
Maple didn't have to wait long before Hermione and Professor McGonagall came out, and Hermione had a very happy expression on her face.
She must have gotten the time turner!
Then Hermione saw Maple waiting for her here, and the expression on her face became even more excited.
Hermione didn't speak, and Maple didn't ask much, and the two of them went to the Great Hall together.
When they arrived at the Great Hall, they saw Professor Flitwick walking out of the Great Hall wearing his dirty Sorting Hat.
"Oh, we missed the sorting ceremony." Hermione said lightly, in her opinion, the sorting ceremony was nothing compared to the happy event she had just encountered.
And, she was glad that Maple had missed the sorting ceremony for her, that Mary's sorting ceremony.
Soon, Hermione found Mary from the freshman seat, and she turned out to be a new Gryffindor.
Only now Mary's pretty face was covered with frost, because she had successfully entered the same house as Maple's brother, and when she was about to celebrate with Maple, she did not find Maple among the Gryffindor students present.
It wasn't until after the sorting ceremony that she saw her brother Maple late with that Hermione Granger, and she felt as if she had just eaten garlic. (Vampires are afraid of garlic.) )
Celia Dolux has completely severed ties with the Pandora family after the events of the first half of this year. From then on, Doracus was her last name, and everything about her had nothing to do with Pandora.
With Dumbledore's permission this year, she went on to return to Hogwarts to attend school.
As soon as Mary appeared, she immediately caught Celia's attention. The moment she saw the other party, Celia suddenly had a feeling that she seemed to have some inexplicable connection with her.
And Celia soon notices that the girl named Mary wears the same Tai Chi magic pendant around her neck.
Maple sat down in her third-year Gryffindor seat and gave Mary an apologetic expression. But Mary didn't accept Maple's apology and twisted her face to the side angrily because he was sitting with Hermione.
Soon, Dumbledore stood up and began to speak, and all the students stopped their little movements. Even the students who didn't like Dumbledore as the headmaster very much were all quiet.
"Welcome, welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year." Dumbledore's opening speech this year didn't seem to be as exciting as the previous two years, and it seemed that he was unhappy with the Ministry of Magic's move to place Dementors at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore sternly reminded the students not to clash with the Dementors, and Fudge seemed optimistic that the Dementors were completely subordinate to the Ministry of Magic, but Dumbledore never felt that these evil things could be trusted.
While Dumbledore forbade the Dementors from the school, he also sternly reminded the students not to give the Dementors an excuse to hurt them.
And the deadliest and irreparable way to damage a Dementor is the Dementor's kiss, which can absorb the soul of a human.
After reminding the students of the Dementors, Dumbledore introduced the new teacher.
One of them, of course, was the teacher of the cursed Defence Against the Dark Arts class-
"The first is Professor Lupin, who readily agreed to make up for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class." Dumbledore said. Maple took the lead, saying that Lupin, although a werewolf, was their first reliable Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
