Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Seeing that the Dementor, who was arrogant and arrogant in front of him, was chased by Lupin's Patronus like a bereaved dog, Mike was relieved and felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Lupin's urgent voice came from behind them.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Everyone in the carriage looked back quickly and saw that Professor Lupin was running out of breath.

It can be seen that Professor Lupin's body is very weak, and after only running such a short distance, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his head.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Lupin took the opportunity to greet everyone to rest for a while, and then ran towards the front of the car again, and his Patronus flew there ahead of him.

This made Mike very eye-catching. The powerful Patronus can be far away from the releaser. Some powerful wizards have even developed the function of using the Patronus to send messages over long distances.

Not long after Lupin left, the train continued to start. Mike did not go with Lupin to check the driver's condition, nor went to Harry's side, but stayed in the original carriage with Penello.

Maybe the Dementor just gave her too much stimulation. From the moment Mike appeared, Penello threw himself into Mike's arms, hanging on him like a koala, and said nothing. .

Mike could feel Penello's body trembling constantly. The distressed Mike took out a large plate of chocolate, first divided some of the rest of the car, and then took out a water glass and melted a hot cup with a flame spell. The chocolate was handed to Penello.

"Honey, drink this and you'll feel much better."

Penello stuck his head out of Mike's arms, opened his mouth but didn't speak.

The meaning was obvious, Mike took out another spoon and fed Penello one by one.

It stands to reason that the effect of hot chocolate should be better than eating directly, but Penello's body has been shaking uncontrollably, which makes Mike very anxious.

And Penello seemed to realize that chocolate was not of much use to her, and saw that she took a small mouthful of chocolate, wrapped her arms around Mike's neck and kissed it directly.

What does a girl's lips smell like?

The old driver can tell you from experience that it is a very special sweet fragrance, this kind of taste is very light, if you don't taste it carefully, you can't feel it at all.

At this moment, Mike couldn't feel any taste at all. The chocolate in Penello's mouth turned into a strong sweetness that hit his taste buds, so that he couldn't taste other tastes at all.

Penello's movements were intense, and Mike responded enthusiastically to her.

Surprisingly, after a period of time, Mike found that Penello no longer trembled, and his mood gradually returned to calm.

Even so, the two did not stop, but became more intense.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Oh! Oh! Sorry! Mike, I didn't mean to. Excuse me."

The two quickly separated, seeing that it was Professor Lupin Penello who shyly buried his head in Mike's arms as an ostrich, while Mike looked at Lupin speechlessly.

"I just wanted to ask you if you want to go see Harry together. Someone told me that he woke up. It's okay, it's okay if you don't want to go, you can continue." Lupin stepped back in embarrassment, "To be honest. Doing it right, kisses can make people happy quickly just like chocolate.

Of course, the premise is with the people you love. "

After Lupin said this, he quickly disappeared from Mike, leaving only Mike and Penello, a pair of lonely men and women, in the dark compartment.

"What he said is true, I feel better now." Starter

Mike turned his head to look at the sound, and saw that Penello was looking at him with bright eyes.

"So, you have to continue..."

Mike was amused when he heard it, and said jokingly, but his mouth was gagged before he finished speaking.

...

On the other side, Harry was surrounded by a large group of people at the moment.

Most of them are here to watch the fun, and few are really worried about Harry. After all, it was really a funny thing that the boy who survived the dignified death was directly frightened by the dementor.

In fact, Harry himself thinks so. In the past two years since he entered the wizarding world, he has been working hard to play his role as a saviour hero, but at this moment, no one else is in serious trouble, but he suddenly faints, which makes Harry feel very uncomfortable. Shame, I have the urge to find a hole in the ground to get in.

Fortunately, Lupin arrived in time to disperse the crowd, which made this embarrassing scene not continue.

"Harry, how are you feeling now, have you eaten the chocolate?"

Lupin asked Harry with concern, but Harry was in a low mood at the moment. Facing Lupin's question, he just lowered his head and said, "Well, I feel good now."

Although it sounds good on the lips, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Harry is in a bad mood right now.

After that, Harry suddenly raised his head and looked around. Seeing that all his friends were there, but one person was missing, he hurriedly asked, "Where's Mike?"

Harry felt a little sad that Mike, arguably the first friend he had ever known, wasn't there when he was in trouble.

"He's in the front car," Lupin said eccentrically. "His little girlfriend is in a bad situation, and he's there to comfort her."

"Oh, is that so?"

Harry didn't notice Lupin's expression in the slightest, and only felt that he was in a slightly better mood.

Mike didn't do it on purpose, there are people in his place who need him more. Harry thought so.

The train was moving fast and arrived at Hogwarts in no time.

This year's Hogwarts looks particularly eerie, with many dark shadows hovering over the brightly lit castle in the past, making people feel eerie.

Mike and other old students and new students separated at the station and arrived at the castle in a night unicorn carriage.

As soon as he arrived at the castle, Mike saw Professor McGonagall hurriedly running to the students, taking Harry and others out of the crowd.

Mike walked forward quietly, holding Penello's small hand in his hand.

The woman is now back to normal after being comforted by Mike in the car for a while, but even so she is reluctant to let go of Mike's hand. In desperation, Mike could only hold her hand and reach the auditorium of the castle.

The new year's opening dinner has started again. There is really nothing to say about the process of the dinner. Mike has participated in two sessions, and he is already familiar with the process.

First the Sorting Hat presented the songs he had been preparing for a whole year, and then one by one freshman sorted...

The only difference here is that the old students of the major colleges are far more enthusiastic than the past two years. Whenever a freshman is successfully sorted, his college will burst into deafening cheers.

Mike understood their behavior. He had just suffered that kind of fright on the train. It is normal to use this method to release his inner fear. This is called compensation.

In their hearts they want to make up for themselves by relying on this orgy.

This mentality also appears in people who are usually very fortunate at work.

The actual performance is that a person usually works overtime often and is very fortunate. But the more so, whenever he goes to rest, he will not rest. Instead, he will go to various exciting places such as bars, clubs and Internet cafes to have a carnival. This is to make up for his psychology.

In this happy atmosphere, Mike seemed a little lonely, and the dementor on the train just hit him hard.

He originally thought that with his existing Patronus Charm level, not to mention being able to drive away dementors, but at least he should be able to have the power to protect himself.

However, reality gave him a big mouth.

Not to mention self-protection, if Lupin hadn't arrived in time today, both he and Penello would have been in danger.

Casting a Patronus Charm while training and casting a Patronus Charm in front of a Dementor are two completely different experiences. You are in a completely safe environment while training, and you can easily have positive emotions in this situation. .

However, when faced with a dementor in actual combat, your subconscious mind is always warning you to get away from that monster quickly. This sense of danger will make people very nervous, which will affect the release of the Patronus Charm.

Not to mention, the Dementor itself can absorb joy, and the difficulty of casting the Patronus Charm increases geometrically under this double superposition.

Speaking of which, it is very good that Mike can use the Patronus Charm in front of the dementors. Most beginners will freeze their hands and feet when they face the dementors for the first time, and they will not be able to release them at all. Spell.

"are you OK?"

Penello looked at Mike worriedly, while holding Mike's hand tightly.

She noticed it when she was in the car just now, Mike's mood was very low.

At first, she thought that the side effects of dementors had not subsided, so she kept looking for Mike for comfort. She herself is not a person with a strong desire for this aspect, she just wanted to use this method to make Mike recover.

However, judging from the current situation, Mike's emotional problems should have other hidden meanings.

Feeling the temperature in his hands, Mike showed a reluctant smile on his face, and said firmly: "It's okay, I'll get it done!"

Penello looked at Mike with big eyes, she didn't understand what Mike was trying to do. But these are not important. Penello has strong confidence in Mike. Since Mike said it will be done, it must be fine.

"Well! I believe you!"

Looking at Penello's sincere smile, the smile on Mike's face gradually became real.

At the same time, the sorting ceremony was over, and Headmaster Dumbledore walked slowly onto the podium to start his annual persuasive speech.

"Welcome! Welcome back to Hogwarts! I have a few things to tell you, one of which is extremely important, so..." Dumbledore paused, "so I think it's best to be honest You're enjoying a delicious meal, and it's better to tell you before your brains get confused."

Dumbledore's English joke once again amused many in the audience, but Mike was indifferent. He didn't feel the point of the joke at all, all he felt was embarrassment.

"Our school has welcomed several dementors from Azkaban. They were sent by the Ministry of Magic on official business, as you already know, because they searched the train."

Dumbledore paused again when he said this. Mike noticed that Dumbledore's expression at this time was particularly ugly under the candlelight, and it seemed that Dumbledore was also very dissatisfied with the behavior of these dementors.

"What I'm saying is that dementors by nature do not understand any justifications and quibbles, so I remind everyone here not to give them a reason to hurt you. They will be stationed at all entrances to the school and no one will be allowed to leave. Leaving school without permission. No tricks, tricks, and pretense will deceive them, including invisibility cloaks and disillusionment spells."

Dumbledore glanced at Mike when he talked about the Illusionary Charm, which made Mike's heart shudder. It seemed that Dumbledore had already known about his use of the Illusory Charm for night tours.

Fortunately, Dumbledore just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and continued: "Okay, let's talk a little easier. We have welcomed two new teachers this semester."

Dumbledore stretched out his hand to Lupin and said, "The first is Professor Lupin. He was invited by me to Hogwarts as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Lupin tidied up his clothes and stood up to nod to everyone in the audience.

Except for Slytherin, the students of the other three houses gave their warm applause. Lupin's performance on the train just now made these students respect him, ignoring his poor attire.

Next, Dumbledore once again introduced the new teacher of the protection of magical animals, Hagrid.

This time, the applause of the students of the other academies except the students of Gryffindor seemed a little perfunctory. There was no way, Hagrid chose the monster book, the monster book, which will bite people, as the textbook and offended many people. .

Few of the students present had not been bitten by this book.

I don't know if it was because of the lack of roots in his head. Hagrid didn't feel embarrassed at all in the face of this situation. He was even moved to tears. He was wiping his tears with a tablecloth and blowing his nose from time to time. .

His disgusting behavior made Professor Flitwick, who was sitting next to him, look bad. Professor Flitwick glanced at Hagrid helplessly, and silently moved his seat away.

What followed was the annual feasting moment. After Dumbledore gave an order, the auditorium instantly turned into a battlefield, and the little wizards from various colleges were sweeping the food in front of them.

After the dinner, Mike did not follow the main group back to the dormitory, but secretly left the crowd and came to the only way from the auditorium to the Office of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

He was going to speak with Lupin tonight, the sooner he learned the Patronus Charm, the greater the advantage for him.

However, when he was hiding in the corner waiting for Professor Lupin to appear, he heard Professor Lupin and Snape arguing.
