Chapter 324 The Dementor Attacks
"I'm not so stupid, why would I take the initiative to find a lunatic wizard who wants to kill me!"
After Harry finished speaking, he rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Oh, Merlin, Sirius Black escaped to find you? Harry, you can be more careful!"
Hermione covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief.
She had heard that Sirius Black was a crazy Death Eater who used powerful and cruel magic to kill many Muggles.
On the other hand, Alice wasn't too scared, she just comforted her:
"I don't think it matters. After all, Hogwarts has Headmaster Dumbledore and so many professors. Even if he is Sirius, I don't think it is a big deal!"
In fact, what Alice thought in her heart was that as long as Charlie was by her side, the little Sirius he didn't realize could hurt them, but Charlie told herself that his current strength was not much worse than that of Dumbledore.
"However, Sirius escaped from Azkaban, which is said to be inescapable, and it is guarded by terrifying dementors!"
There was some fear in Ron's expression.
You know, dementors are monsters that even adult wizards are very afraid of. When he was a child, he heard many horror stories about dementors.
"Dementors are not invincible. Didn't Professor Meow teach us the Patronus Charm to deal with dementors?"
At this moment, Hermione suddenly thought of something, and spoke excitedly.
In the second semester of last year, Charlie, as Professor Meow, served as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
But because the mana in his body was limited at that time, he couldn't maintain the form of Animagus for a long time, so most of the time, he used the patron saint to teach.
At that time, all the little wizards, because of Charlie's strength, had a great interest in the magic of the Patronus Charm. Of course, they also knew that the Patronus Charm was the strongest defensive magic that could dispel dementors.
And in the last month of the last semester, Charlie also took time out to teach all the little wizards this powerful magic.
But it is a pity that due to the difficulty of this magic, by the end of the semester, very few people can learn to use it.
"Don't mention it, I haven't been able to master this spell until now. Every time I release it, I can only emit a faint white light, and I can't condense a patron saint at all!"
Ron scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"I can barely condense, but it can only last for five seconds!"
For some reason, Harry was surprisingly gifted with the Patronus Charm.
"I can last for four seconds!"
Hermione blushed on a rare occasion. As an expert in learning spells, she lost to Harry in the Patronus Charm on a rare occasion.
"Me too"
Alice can actually last five seconds, because Charlie often gives her a little bit of trouble in private.
In this way, the four of them chatted from Sirius to the Patronus Charm, from the Patronus Charm to Professor Meow, and from Professor Meow to Hogsmeade Village, where the third grade will soon go.
Since Harry was in the first month of summer vacation, he traveled to Hua Country with Alice and others.So he didn't meet his annoying Aunt Maggie, and naturally there was no incident of using the expansion spell to blow Aunt Maggie into a balloon and run away from home.
Therefore, all four of them successfully obtained the signatures of their parents and obtained the qualification to visit Hogsmeade Village this year.
……
As the Hogwarts Express traveled northward, the scenery outside the window became more and more desolate.As the high-altitude clouds thickened, the sky darkened.
At one o'clock, the fat witch pushing the food cart came to the door of their cubicle. They bought a lot of snacks and continued to chat.
The Lupin family professor had been in a sleep all the time. If he wasn't still breathing, Harry and the others almost thought he was dead.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it began to rain lightly, and the rolling hills outside the window became blurred.
The train continued to gallop north, and the rain became heavier, turning the windows a watery gray and fading to black.
Finally, the lights in the aisle and on the luggage racks came on all at once, the train clanged, the raindrops slapped, and the wind blew outside the window, it seemed that something bad was about to happen.
"Aren't we almost there!"
At this time, Ron suddenly said something.
However, as soon as his voice fell, the train actually started to slow down, which made Ron think that it was really approaching the station, and even stood up.
"It's not possible yet, the time is wrong!"
Hermione looked at her watch suspiciously.
"Then why did the train stop? Could it be that something went wrong!"
Harry guessed.
The train was getting slower and slower, the sound of the wheels was gradually becoming inaudible, and the sound of wind and rain was hitting the windows louder than before.
Everyone poked their heads out of the compartment, trying to see what happened.
At this moment, the train stopped suddenly, and then, for no reason, all the lights went out, and all the carriages of the entire train were completely plunged into darkness at this moment.
And on the glass of the train, a thin layer of ice crystals gradually appeared, and the temperature seemed to drop by more than ten degrees at once.
"How is this going?"
Ron's voice sounded first.
"I don't know, is it really a train breakdown!"
In the dark, Harry replied.
"Ouch!" Hermione gasped, "Ron, you stepped on my foot!"
"Sure enough, they are still a group of children!"
At this time, Charlie also stopped practicing and opened his eyes.
Suddenly plunged into darkness like this, shouldn't use magic to restore the light first!
"Bright as day!"
As Charlie silently recited the incantation of the Illuminating Charm, his entire cat body was like a little sun, completely driving away all the darkness in the entire compartment.
"A glowing cat, so fun!"
At this time, Lupine, who had been sleeping all the time, also woke up because of the sudden stop of the train and the dazzling light from the compartment.
When he saw Charlie, a long-tailed phantom cat with a dazzling white light all over his body, he also had a look of surprise on his face.
Come to think of it, this is the first time he has seen this glowing phantom cat.
"Something is moving outside, as if someone is getting into the car..."
After the compartment was restored to light, everyone's emotions calmed down. Ron even wiped the car window glass covered with ice crystals, and looked outside hard.
"You guys stay here, I'll go out and have a look!"
Hearing Ron's words, Lupine frowned and pushed open the sliding door and walked out.
And not long after he left, an unknown creature wearing a black cloak, whose figure was so tall that it could almost touch the ceiling of the carriage, slowly appeared outside the sliding door.
Immediately afterwards, from under the cloak, the unknown creature stretched out a large grey-white, gleaming hand, which seemed to be covered with slime and spots, like something that rotted in the water after death.
