Chapter Ninety-Six: The Lion and the Dementor (Thirteenth Update, Ask for Subscription~)
Ron and Hermione were confused.
What kind of dumb riddle these two are playing.
"Professor Lupin is also dangerous?" Hermione figured out what it meant.
Harry didn't speak, but looked at Lupin, the badge in his hand still quiet.
Lupin hesitated: "It's hard for me to say, but I hope you can believe me, I'm safe and will try to be a qualified professor." ”
Hermione looked at Harry, she wouldn't trust a man with a face.
Harry nodded.
Hermione nodded, "Then I believe you, Professor Lupin." ”
"Me too." Ron chimed in.
Lupin breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Harry. ”
"In return, tell me what kind of person Sirius Black is?" Harry leaned out and stared straight at him, "You and he used to be best friends, maybe you'll know how he managed to escape Azkaban?" ”
Lupin fell silent.
The amulet buzzed again.
Harry raised his wand.
Ron and Hermione didn't hesitate either, pulling out their wands and aiming them at Lupin.
Lupin raised his hands in the air, "Harry, I really don't have any ill will towards you. ”
He said this, but the amulet was still vibrating, the wind was blowing outside the window, the rain was ticking, pounding the glass, and the train slowed down.
"Sirius." Lupin sighed, just raised his hand, and spoke slowly, "I mean Blake, he's your father's most trusted man. ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly.
"He's a typical Gryffindor, I mean, to people in other houses, he's a typical Gryffindor."
"Reckless, brainless, impulsive."
"I've always had a hard time believing that he would betray James."
"It's not because I trust his character more, it's just that with his brain and the city, he can't do this kind of thing, and he has to show his stuff on the first day."
"But if he escapes Azkaban, he does ......"
The badge vibrates even more.
That's when it happened.
With a clang, the train snapped and came to a slam halt.
The lights in the carriage also went out abruptly.
"Faint!"
Without hesitation or thinking, Harry shot a stun spell, Lupin didn't expect him to be so decisive, he didn't react, and was hit by the spell.
The badge's vibration continued for another two seconds, slowly ceased.
Is it really Lupin?
Harry was a little surprised.
"Harry, what's going on?" Hermione waved her wand and lit up the carriage, "Lupin's hands and feet?" ”
Harry looked down the hallway, "I'm afraid not. ”
In the darkness, the cacophony of rats chirping came from afar.
Ron wiped the window and looked out, "It looks like someone stopped the train, and now it's still on." ”
"It's a Hogwarts school bus!" Hermione was startled, pushed Ron away, and looked in, but she took a slow step, only to see the last figure disappear into the blind spot.
Outside the carriage, the noise of the little wizards gradually cried.
But after a while, it suddenly stopped.
The dark, evil, ominous aura grew stronger and stronger, surging towards Harry's nose.
He pulled open the sliding door.
In the hallway, a figure in a black cloak, tall and large, with its head against the ceiling, fluttered forward, and the place it passed was silent.
The air was smeared and frozen by its arrival.
It greedily absorbs the joy, enthusiasm, and vitality of its surroundings.
Harry recognized it at a glance - the Dementors, the Ministry of Magic's jailer in Azkaban, an extremely dangerous creature of dark magic.
"Is Fudge's brain made entirely of dungstone?" Harry gritted his teeth, his eyes stunned.
Even after last year.
He had a warning of the Ministry of Magic's incompetence, but he didn't expect that they would be so incompetent as to put this creature on the train!
He raised his wand and recited the incantation.
"Divine Guard!"
The silver lion pounced and slammed into the giant Dementor, opening its mouth to bite, tearing off its cloak and slamming its claws to the floor.
The Dementor let out a breath of black air.
The lion took it in its mouth and lunged at the front of the car, sweeping along the way, dispersing almost all the Dementors.
A moment later.
The train's lights came back on, and the whistle whistled and fluttered, and started again.
Harry stood in the doorway for a moment, but no Ministry of Magic official approached him before he walked back into the carriage.
Lupin was still unconscious.
With a wave of his wand, a piece of clothing flew out of his suitcase, turning into a piece of hemp rope that bound Lupin tightly.
After a while.
When Lupin woke up, he opened his eyes blankly, looked at the lights of the carriage, was in a trance, and struggled to sit upright, only to find that he was tied up.
"Harry?" He was a little dazed.
Just as he woke up, the amulet vibrated violently again.
Harry looked at him calmly, "Professor, for our safety, I have to grieve you." ”
Lupin stared at the lion badge on his chest, his eyes sincere, and nodded with some difficulty: "Harry, I definitely don't have any ill will towards you. ”
Harry met his gaze.
He didn't dodge, nor did he show any sincerity, his eyes were calm, and even a little relieved.
This look is not what a bad person should have.
"Wait until Hogwarts, and I'll untie it for you." Harry's tone was calm, he wasn't infected by the look.
He had also encountered such a gaze.
As a result, he turned his head and gave himself a sword.
The only thing that a person can believe is the fact that he has experienced it.
"Maybe we can pick up where we left off?" Harry continued, "How did Sirius escape from Azkaban?" ”
The badge vibrated even harder, again.
Lupin opened his mouth and was about to answer.
The sliding door was rudely opened, and an Auror walked in, looking at the people in the carriage, frowning, "Who summoned that Patronus just now?" ”
"It's me." Harry looked at him.
Hermione's face twisted slightly.
She couldn't help but think of when they first met.
Noticing those eyes, the Auror took a step back, his tone softening, "Mr. Potter? ”
"Such a good Patronus Charm is really only you can cast."
"But that's our Ministry of Magic staff, to search ......"
Harry interrupted him impatiently, "Fudge is in a bad head, and yours is in a bad head?" ”
"Put the Dementors on the train and put a bunch of little wizards in front of them, and do that too?"
The Aurors couldn't help but bow their heads.
Lupin was a little surprised: "Dementors, on the train?" ”
"I've driven away." Harry replied to him.
The Auror didn't know how to respond, he played with his fingers.
The train slowed down and gradually stopped.
It's time to stop.
The Aurors breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Potter, when you get to Hogwarts, I won't bother you." ”
After saying that, he trotted out with a cigarette, and did not forget to close the car door.
