The rain became heavier and heavier, and the window of the car became a watery gray, and before I knew it, it was completely dark.

The box door was opened again, and Fred and George took advantage of the dim light to creep in.

"Percy didn't come......" asked George.

"Nope." Cedric looked at the two of them and asked curiously, "It's been so long, and he's not ready to let you go?" It's just a badge, so it's not so big. ”

"I should say he never caught us." George closed the door, turned around and said, "We watched him and made several turns in the train. ”

"Just kidding." Cedric's first reaction was disbelief, thinking that they just didn't want to admit it for the sake of face.

The train is so big, there is an aisle leading from the front to the back, there is not even a bend in the middle, and there is glass on the box door, so you can see the situation inside.

Percy would have found them if she had been patient.

Kyle thinks so too.

"Have you learned the Illusion Charm?" He asked, "Or borrowed Harry's Cloak of Invisibility." ”

"Neither." George sat down next to Cedric and said proudly, "We hid in the food cart with snacks, which was empty underneath, and there was a partition just enough to hide two people. ”

"Percy passed by us three times and didn't notice anything."

"At one point he even stopped to buy something, a licorice wand, and a crucible cake."

"We recognize his shoes......"

"So, you've been hiding in the dining car until now?" Autumn looked at the time and asked incredulously, "Oh my God, it's been five hours." ”

The food truck for snacks is not very large, and it is about the same as a table in a private room.

Two people, squatting under the table for five hours...... Seriously, if it was her, she would rather be beaten up by Percy.

"Of course not." "After a lap, the snack truck would stop at the front, which was the driver's car, and we would be there. ”

As he spoke, the lights in the aisle and on the luggage rack suddenly turned on.

The dim light illuminated the carriage, making it even darker outside the window.

"We should be there soon." Ginny asked.

"It's coming." Cho said, "There is still an hour. ”

"I wish it could be soon." Fred touched his stomach, "I'm hungry, I really want to hurry up to the banquet......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the train suddenly began to slow down.

"A wish come true?" Fred stood up in surprise and pressed his face against the window, trying to see what was going on outside.

"It's impossible!" Autumn looked at the time again, "There's still an hour until the arrival time." ”

"Maybe the driver wanted us to have dinner quickly, so he made the train faster." George said with a smile.

"No, George, I don't think the train is speeding up."

Fred, who was leaning against the window, looked up, "It's not our familiar platform outside that DeHogsmeade is a completely unfamiliar place. ”

The train slowed down, the sound of the wheels became inaudible, and the wind and rain pounded on the windows louder than before.

With a "pop", the train suddenly stopped as if it had been stepped on and braked.

A large box is thrown off the shelf, nearly hitting Luna's head.

"I'm the president of the student union, everyone is back in the box, don't panic!" Percy's voice could be heard outside.

But at this time, the title of student council president seems to be a little insufficient.

Especially after all the lights went out for no reason, the train instantly fell into a panic, and the screams came and went.

"Do you think it's a little cold?"

Fred rubbed his arm, pointed to the window, and said, "Look here. ”

I don't know when, a thin layer of ice has formed on the glass.

"It's September!" Cedric frowned.

It freezes in September, and it won't be enough until winter.

"It's supposed to be a Dementor...... Kyle looked at the looming figures outside, "they're probably here to check if there's any Blake in the car." ”

"No, it can't be......" Ginny curled up in the corner and said tremblingly, "those monsters in Azkaban? How could they be on the train, Headmaster Dumbledore wouldn't allow it......"

"I think Kyle was right."

Qiu's face, which had been looking outside just now, suddenly turned pale, and she saw that at the end of the dark corridor, the figure in a tattered cloak floated in mid-air like a ghost.

"One on each side......" Qiu hurriedly retreated, "They're checking the carriage!" ”

There was a dead silence in the carriage.

As a child growing up in a wizarding family, I've heard the name Dementor more or less.

But they never imagined that they would encounter these monsters on the train to Hogwarts.

It must be false to say that you are not nervous.

Kyle consciously went to the front.

He flicked his wand slightly, and soon a silvery glow lit up at the tip of the wand.

This light is much dimmer than the Illumination Charm, but it is softer and more extensive.

It was only because of the nervousness that the people around didn't notice this, only Connor tilted his head curiously.

She noticed that it seemed to be less cold all of a sudden.

But now is not the right time to ask questions, so I didn't speak.

Soon, one of the Dementors arrived in the box they were in.

They could even hear the gurgling sounds coming out of each other's throats clearly.

It's just a meaningless sound to the others, but Kyle hears something else.

Brian ...... Blackcar...... No, it's Brakai......]

It kept repeating a name on and off, but it couldn't remember it, and it was pronounced differently each time.

What stands out is that the IQ is not very high.

But that's normal, after all, they don't even have brains.

It stood at the door of the box, stretching out a gray-white, eerie hand and gently hooking it......

The box door slowly opened.

But the light in the room also spread out, just sweeping over it.

The Dementor immediately shook off his hand, and his body began to unconsciously retreat, clinging to the carriage behind him.

"There's no one you're looking for." Kyle said, "None of us hid Blake under our robes, let's go." ”

The tattered hooded head turned to Kyle and let out a gurgling sound again.

[I want to ...... Examine...... Command ......]

"No, I'll say it again, there's no Blake here!"

Kyle waved his wand again, and the white light around him brightened a little more.

The Dementor struggled again, as if it had been thrown into a big dung egg, uncomfortable, and a little helpless......

But despite this, it stubbornly did not leave the box.

【Inspection...... Command ......]

"Let's go!"

[No...... Go ......】

"Let's go!"

[Don't go ......]

The corners of Kyle's mouth twitched.

Somehow, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart for bullying the weak...... However, the weakness here does not refer to strength, but to IQ.

"It's ridiculous." Kyle muttered quietly.

The surrounding white light gradually converged, and finally maintained a hazy cloud-like shape, enveloping Connor and the others.

"Only inspections." Kyle pointed his wand at the Dementor and reminded, "If you dare to do anything else, or absorb a little emotion, I'll kick you out." ”

[Command...... Examine...... ...... skipping meals】

There was no white light around, and the Dementors floated up again, entering the box and taking a slow breath.

Everyone suddenly felt a chill, but it was only cold.

[No...... Bang Lain ...... Taste ......】

In the next second, the Dementor quickly left the box, turned around and walked away.

"Yes, Blake." Kyle couldn't help but remind him when he closed the door.

【Blake...... Blackcar......]

“……”

Sure enough, this guy didn't have much intelligence, and he remembered it wrong in less than a second, I just didn't know if all Dementors were like this, or if he was the only one who ran into a fool.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the originally silent aisle.

Kyle faintly hears someone screaming......

"Harry!"

"Professor, Harry, he's fainted!"

"Help, help......"

It was Ron, and Hermione's voice, and the last one seemed to be Neville......

Then, a silver light lit up in the hallway again.

The dementor who had just left subconsciously wanted to retreat into the box, but by this time Kyle had already closed the door.

On one side is the closed box door, and on the other side is the silver light that is getting closer and closer, I don't know if it's an illusion, Kyle actually saw a trace of helplessness in this dementor.
