Harry Potter Reborn

The figure under the black robe slowly took a long breath, but it was not just air, but something else.

Just when everyone feels cold.

Lupine walked up to the black shadow, took out his wand, and said: "We don't have Sirius Black here, get out of here!"

The black shadow did not move. It looked around, like a hunter seeing his prey. The smell of delicious food made him reluctant to leave.

Lupine raised his wand and recited a spell, and a silver object came out of the wand and shot towards the black shadow.

The black shadow seemed to be afraid of this silver thing. It turned around and wanted to leave leisurely.

But a faint light floated out from Harry's fingertips and flew into the black shadow's huge body.

Bang.

The black shadow suddenly exploded, like a balloon bursting due to too much inflation, and a few wisps of gray smoke drifted away.

Hermione and the others didn't see it clearly and thought it was the magic used by Lupine that defeated the shadow. However, Lupine glanced at Harry but didn't say anything.

The lights inside the car flashed a few times, then turned on completely.

Lupine explained to them: "That was a dementor just now, a guard sent by the Ministry of Magic to capture Sirius."

Lu Ping broke open a piece of chocolate and said: "If you encounter a dementor and are hurt by it, eating some chocolate will be very useful, but I don't think you need it..."

He put the chocolates on the table and said, "I'm going to see how the driver is doing. I hope he can still start the train."

Astoria quickly picked up the chocolate and said, "It's useful. I think Mr. Padfoot needs some chocolate."

Lu Ping was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

After a while, the floor shook... The Hogwarts Express started moving again.

Professor Lupine is back.

Blake is doing much better and is no longer huddled under the chair.

Lupine said: "We are almost at Hogwarts, there are still ten minutes to go."

Hermione suddenly said: "Harry, where is your eagle? It's raining so heavily outside, why doesn't it fly back?"

Harry said: "I put it away because I no longer need it to help me send letters and mail things."

Hermione said: "Yes, of course it is not as fast as the Apparition."

The rest of the journey was quiet, with only Hermione looking at Lupin frequently.

Lupine said: "Miss Granger, if you have any questions, you can feel free to ask."

Hermione said sheepishly: "Professor, you said the dementors were sent by the Ministry of Magic, so why did they attack us?"

Lupine said: "Dementors have low intelligence and can only obey simple orders. They have no human emotions. It is more appropriate to say that they are an abnormal creature. They feed on human emotions. The happiness of the children in this train

Emotions such as excitement and anticipation are probably the most beautiful things to them, so the dementors can't help but absorb your beautiful things."

"Then if something like this happens, will the dementors be transferred away?"

Lupine shook his head: "I'm afraid not. The Ministry of Magic is not that easy to talk to, and no one was hurt this time."

"Oh." Hermione said gloomily.

The Dementors just made people feel really uncomfortable, as if everything had become hopeless.

Soon, the train stopped at Hogsmeade Station, students got off the train one after another, and the scene was chaotic. Owls were hooting, cats were meowing, and Neville's pet toad was also croaking under his hat. On the small platform

The air was freezing and the bone-chilling rain was pouring down.

"Freshman, go this way!" a familiar loud voice shouted.

Harry turned around and saw Hagrid's huge figure at the other end of the platform, holding a bright lamp, beckoning the frightened first years to come over and cross the lake in the traditional way.

On the other side, there were more than a hundred carriages carrying the remaining students into the school.

Harry, Zhang Qiu, Hermione, and Astoria took one.

The carriage drove towards two extraordinary iron gates with stone pillars on both sides and winged wild boars on top of the pillars.

"Yeah!" Astoria exclaimed and closed her eyes in fear.

It turned out that there were two eerie dementors wearing hoods, one on each side standing guard at the door.

When Harry's carriage passed by, the Dementor's figure swayed, seeming to be aware of it.

So Blake behaved in the car.

The carriage sped up on the long uphill drive leading to the castle. Hermione leaned her head out of the small window and watched the many turrets and towers getting closer and closer to them.

Finally, the carriage staggered to a stop and the school arrived.

Hermione and Zhang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The four of them followed the crowd up the stone steps, passed through the majestic oak door, and entered the spacious and deep foyer.

There were burning torches, and a magnificent marble staircase led upstairs.

On the right, the door to the auditorium has been opened.

I glanced at the enchanted ceiling... Tonight was a dark sky covered with clouds.

Really not a smart approach.

The weather outside was obviously so bad, but Dumbledore still chose to present this kind of weather.

Students are entering the auditorium.

A voice sounded: "Potter, Granger, come with me."

Professor McGonagall, the transfiguration teacher and head of Gryffindor House, was shouting at them through everyone's heads.

She is a stern-looking witch with her hair tied into a tight bun and a pair of square glasses on her sharp eyes.

"There's no need to be nervous...I just want to talk to you in the office," she told them.

For any Gryffindor student, talking to Professor McGonagall is an unsettling thing.

but……

"We won't be nervous because we are good kids," Hermione said.

There is no way, if you have good grades, you can do whatever you want in front of the teacher.

Professor McGonagall: "Uh...that's good..."

Zhang Qiu smiled and said goodbye to Harry, and then she and Astoria also entered the auditorium.

They walked with Professor McGonagall through the foyer, up the marble stairs, and down a corridor.

Professor McGonagall's office is small, but has a warm and prosperous fire.

Although the weather is indeed cold today, but...it is September now.

As they walked in, Professor McGonagall motioned for Harry and Hermione to sit down, and she herself took a seat behind the desk.

"Harry, what I want to tell you is about your application to go to Hogsmeade for the weekend. I know your uncle won't sign it for you. Don't think about asking me or Dumbledore to sign it for you. I won't.

I will agree. Because it is very dangerous outside... After the matter is resolved,

I'll tell you what's going on... But Dumbledore didn't know what was wrong. He actually said, you will protect yourself... Oh my God, does he think that you, a third-grade child, can interact with... ahem

…You have to stay at school on weekends anyway…”

Professor McGonagall expected Harry to be angry and perhaps plead, but even then she would not relent.

Unexpectedly, Harry said: "Professor, I agree with you very much. I will not follow anyone who pulls me to sneak out of school..."

"Uh...oh...as long as you understand." Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Harry, then you go downstairs to attend the banquet first. I want to talk to Hermione about her courses."

"Well, okay."

Seeing that Harry was about to leave, Hermione was still nervous. She said a little uneasily: "Professor, I filled out all the courses. I definitely didn't mean to play a prank..."

Professor McGonagall waved her hand and said, "Anxiety, my child..."

Then, Harry left.
