Chapter 19: I'm Finally Not the Only One Who Gets Slapped!

The palm prints on the Dementor's cloak are very clear, and the proportions are slender, and the palm shape is perfect.

It's just that it doesn't look too big.

Zhang Xiao's eyes became subtle, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Who knows if there's a Dementor coming in the carriage or the one he's slapped in Azkaban?

The Dementors apparently discovered this as well.

It instinctively wanted to roar and call out to its companions, but suddenly remembered that day, and the 'very delicious food' in front of it suddenly jumped up and slapped itself.

Relatives and friends who rushed to hear the news at that time were also beaten, which was quite miserable.

It hurts, it hurts! Being beaten by the Patronus Spell can only be called an expulsion, and the Dementors hate the Patronus, and the light of the powerful Patronus can burn them.

But the damage of the big sinuses is incomparable to the Patronus Charm, and this is the first time that a Dementor has been physically beaten!

The dementors stood there, wanting to scream but not daring to scream, wanting to leave but reluctant to take a train of delicious food, and there was an extremely desolate feeling.

The strange behavior was apparently noticed by the young wizards, and the screams of Malfoyron and Hermione slowly stopped.

They watched as the Dementor's tall body gradually shrank back, and the originally tall body seemed to be a little bent, and it looked like it was- afraid?

His gaze was even more fixed on the dementor's hood, the obvious slap print.

"Zhang, that slap print on its hoodβ€”" Malfoy asked quietly.

"Ah, I should have hit it. The last time I went to Azkaban with Professor Dumbledore."

Did you really hit it? Malfoyron, and Hermione didn't know what to say for a while.

It's a Dementor!

Harry seemed to be relieved from the pain of the clenching stomach of that sad stomach.

The cries and screams of women seemed to echo in his ears all the time.

This is the Dementor?

Harry shook his head vigorously, pulling himself out of that fear, and almost instinctively raised his wand:

β€œExpectoPatronum!”

Bright stars erupted from the tip of Harry's wand like the dawn.

A deer with big horns stepped gently out of the silver light with graceful steps.

It lowered its head and charged at the Dementors in front of it, the Patronus' silver glow dispelling the Dementors' negativity.

The Dementor hurriedly backed away, this Patronus was unexpectedly powerful, especially the 'delicious food' that could slap, as if it could summon an even more powerful Patronus.

The whole carriage seemed to come to life again, and a bouncing silver honey badger rushed out of the prefect's box in front of the train, driving away the Dementors in the train.

"It's Cedric!"

Ron excitedly shouted that Cedric's home was not far from Ron's home, and he had been here during the summer vacation, and it was at that time that Cedric revealed that he had successfully summoned the Patronus.

Harry's stag, bowing his head and holding his giant antlers in front of him, ran forward.

It emitted a strong silvery glow that dispelled all shadows, and the lights inside the train came back on.

More and more students understand what is happening.

"Patronus Charm!"

"Guardian of the Flesh!"

"Someone can cast a Patronus Charm, and there are two more!"

Similar shouts erupted in the carriage, which was soon filled with excited cheers and thunderous applause.

Harry listened to the others' comments, and even though he had always been very resistant to compliments on others, he couldn't help but smile.

"Harry, the wonderful Patronus."

A gruff voice rang out behind them, and Professor Lupin finally woke up, inserting his wand back in his hand, staring at the stag rampaging through the train, as if missing something.

"Lupin. Professor. ”

Harry suddenly became reserved, and in the face of his father's friend, reason told him that he should be closer, but the strange feeling made him only politely say hello.

"Sirius should have told you all? I knew that guy couldn't hide anything. ”

A gentle smile appeared on Lupin's tired face, patted Harry on the shoulder, squeezed it hard, and said very understandingly:

"It's okay, it's enough to be yourself."

Zhang Xiao summoned the Patronus after Harry and Cedric summoned the Patronus, and then put all his attention outside.

At this moment, he was staring solemnly at the roof of the train, his eyes seemed to penetrate the partition and see the rainy night outside.

"You're Zhang, Dumbledore and Sirius often tell me about you, and I've seen your deeds in the newspapersβ€”"

Lu Ping looked at Zhang Xiao who was staring out the window, and the words that followed became questions:

"Zhangβ€”what's wrong?"

Zhang Xiao's face became more and more solemn, and he said softly: "Professor, I'm afraid the trouble caused by the dementors is far from over. ”

At this moment, the cold feeling that had only subsided for a short time came back again, even more intense than the first time.

Just as Zhang Xiao had felt before, there were a large number of Dementors circling outside the train, and the train that was excited by the Patronus Charm was full of joy and joy at the moment.

This is an almost irresistible temptation for the Dementors.

Lupin's face was rather ugly, and he walked quickly to the window, opened it, and a cold wind mixed with cold raindrops poured in through the window.

The little wizards couldn't help but shudder and hugged their arms tightly.

By the light of lightning, they finally discovered a terrible truth.

A large number of Dementors had gathered outside the train, and these terrifying monsters hovered in the sky, swooping past the top of the train from time to time, and taking a greedy sip.

"Damn! How could there be so many Dementors!

Could it be that all of Azkaban's Dementors are here? ”

Lupin cursed in a low voice, he thought for a moment, and said quickly:

"Harry, you protect this place with your Patronus Charm, I'll have to go to the driver, and by the way, let the child who can use the Patronus Charm protect the front half of the car.

We've got to hurry, or the Dementors will suck everyone into idiots! ”

"Well, I'll see if I can disperse them, and I'll have to get the train moving." Zhang Xiao nodded and agreed.

Lupin gave him a startled look, dispersing them?

The greater the number of these Dementors, the harder it is to dispel them, and in the face of the negative effects of hundreds of Dementors, it is already very rare to be able to raise a wand to resist.

Not to mention dispel them.

Even so, Lupin decided to believe what Dumbledore told him, and he nodded.

Zhang Xiao grabbed the upper edge of the window, and with both arms, the whole person turned over on the top of the train like a swing.

Seeing that Zhang Xiao had left, Lupin picked up his wand and ran towards the front of the car, and he could still hear his shouting:

"I'm Remus Lupin!

The new professor of Hogwarts, all the young wizards stay in the carriage, don't act on their own, and eat two chocolates if they feel uncomfortable.

Prefects, keep order!

I promise that no one will be able to hurt you until I fall. ”

As the voice faded away, Malfoy nodded slowly:

"He's a very responsible professor."

"Of course! This is a good friend of my dad. ”

Harry glared at him and summoned the stag back and forth to walk back and forth in the back half of the carriage, noticing that Cedric's Patronus was doing the same in the front half of the carriage.

Malforon could only watch with regret and envy as the two majestic Patronus patrolled back and forth in the aisle.

Hermione pursed her lips with a stern expression, and the little witch's eyes were almost on fire, and she had spent most of her summer vacation preparing for the next semester's textbooks.

Otherwise, she should be able to use the Patronus by now, and she felt that she was on the verge of success before the summer vacation.

At the top of the train, the heavy rain enveloped the whole world, and only lightning crossed the horizon to illuminate the land for a short time.

After just a moment's effort, Zhang Xiao felt that she was soaking wet, and the rain condensed into streams, dripping down her cheeks and from her chin.

There were an incredible number of Dementors, and they seemed to be attending a feast, hovering over the train.

A faint golden light rose from Zhang Xiao's body, and then it became blazing.

Be the brightest presence in this darkness.

The Dementors noticed him almost immediately, and with a roar, they rushed towards Zhang Xiao.

But when they saw the dazzling golden light, half of the Dementors immediately slowed down and hesitantly fell behind.

It's only been a long time since Azkaban was violently beaten, and if memory serves, this 'food' with golden light also has a very powerful patronus?

Even so, the number of Dementors is quite large.

The already deep night sky seemed to be completely dark, and it was a kind of depressing darkness that saw no hope in sight.

The rain became even colder, like ice.

In Zhang Xiao's eyes, everything around him began to lose color, and the whole world became black and white.

Dementors in tattered cloaks poured in from all directions.

Zhang Xiao raised her wand above her head and circled it in a large circle.

The tip of the wand lit up with a bright light, forming a trailing band of light along with his movements.

When the bands of light are connected end to end to form a circle.

The carp, which was more than a man tall and was made of silver light, seemed to leap out of a cracked ice cave.

Jumping in the air with his head and tail.

Like a bright moon rising, the silver light dispelled the darkness around it almost instantly.

The original black and white world is regaining its original colors at a rapid pace.

The dementors who had been beaten suddenly moved even more slowly when they saw the familiar Patronus.

At one point, the Ministry of Magic thought that such monsters were irrational and could not communicate.

But in fact, Dementors are not only able to communicate easily, but even have an incredible memory.

At least in the Ministry's research, Dementors have pretty good memories, and they can remember even where they had a delicious meal decades ago.

The carp swam happily around Zhang Xiao's side, and then launched a charge towards the dementors that came from the sky.

From a distance, a cloud of silver light rushed straight towards a large area of darkness.

The silver carp emitted a diffuse halo of light, and the Dementor was bounced away before it could get close.

The Dementors, who had already been beaten once, watched as their companions rushed forward one after another as they were bounced away.

One of them, a Dementor with a handprint on his hood, stood at the back, staring at the battle below.

When a Dementor finally relied on its numerical superiority to break through the carp's defense and rush in front of Zhang Xiao, the Handprint Dementor suddenly stretched its head forward.

Then it saw the glowing 'food' jump out and slap the unlucky man in the face, flying it away.

"Quack Quack Quack Quack~!"

Somehow, the Mudra Dementor felt that he had suddenly developed a strange emotion, which was called pleasure.

Finally, it's no longer just your face with a slap print!

The train finally started moving again, a thick fog gushing out from the direction of the front of the car, and Lupin was in the front of the car, sticking his head out in amazement as the silver Patronus slammed back and forth among the Dementors (and half of the show).

Dumbledore and Sirius were right.

He closed the window and fell into deep thought, so do I want to try Dumbledore's suggestion to find out if the East has a way for werewolves from Zhang's side?

For the rest of the journey, everyone was nervously talking about what had happened before.

When the train finally stopped at Hogwarts Station, it was a chaotic affair: a cacophony of noises mixed with the barking of pets made a mess of the entire platform.

The small platform was slippery and untenable, and the rain was still pouring down.

"First-year students are here!" A familiar voice called out as Hagrid beckoned to the panicked new students holding a large lantern to lead them on the traditional trip across the lake.

The scene was so chaotic that he didn't even have a chance to talk, so he could only wave to him hurriedly.

The carriage marched slowly through the magnificent cast-iron gates, lined with stone pillars and winged boars, until they came to the castle.

This was the first time Zhang Xiao had fully experienced the process of entering the carriage, and the clothes on his body had already become dry and warm with the help of magic, and Malfoy sat across from him, calculating how many purebloods would be enrolled this year.

As well as the position and tendency in it, he learned a sentence from Zhang Xiao and thought it was true, that is, the ass determines the head.

In the past, most purebloods supported Voldemort, in addition to the idea of pure-blood supremacy was very appetizing, and the main thing was that after Voldemort took power, purebloods regained their high status.

Although they don't want to admit it, in recent years, under Dumbledore's strong advocacy, the life of purebloods has deteriorated year by year, and the rapidly rising half-blood wizarding community is squeezing the living space of purebloods.

This is the main reason why they support Voldemort.

But now it's different, the import and export trade between the East and the West makes purebloods easily earn a lot of profits, and this market is closed, and it is not for half-breeds to forcibly occupy.

So even with the Azkaban mass escape, the purebloods who wanted to maintain the status quo still had the upper hand.

Slytherin is still solid.

The carriage staggered to a halt, and the crowd gathered together up the stone steps, past the great oak door, and into the deep vestibule;

I came to the door of the huge restaurant.

Zhang Xiao looked at the four tables full of tableware in the dining room and the magical ceiling, and at this moment he actually missed the warm little bed in the dormitory.

It's the beginning of the school year again.
