Chapter 53
At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sudden quarrel outside the carriage. Hearing a few familiar voices and thinking about the plot that would happen today, Schelling immediately understood what was going on.He got up and walked out of the carriage, Daphne and Meredith immediately followed, and Luna followed the three of them out of the carriage without any hesitation to check.
As Schelling expected, it was his brother Draco who loves to die.He had clearly promised his father to stay away from Harry this term, but he had already forgotten about it before he reached school.Xie Lin could only silently shake his head silently at his character.
Draco, Goyle and Crabbe who followed him stood proudly in the aisle. Opposite them was the trio of Harry standing at the door of the carriage.
In the original plot, when Draco saw Professor Remus Lupine, he should retreat in spite of the difficulties, but because of Schelling's intervention, Draco did not leave at this point, but stayed there with an arrogant face, as if waiting to see a good show.
During the summer vacation, Draco spent a lot of time practicing jinxes assiduously, such as "incisor match big stick", "grin hula", snot curse, and bat spirit curse can all be cast accurately and instantaneously.With his strength soaring, he has been looking forward to the next opportunity to ravage Harry throughout the summer vacation. As for Lucius' instructions, he has long since thrown them out of the blue.
Schelling looked out the window of the train, and the sky was getting dark at this moment—at this moment, the train suddenly jolted, and the speed slowed down significantly, until it came to a complete stop with a thud.There was a sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, and the luggage must have fallen from the rack.
Then, for no reason, all the lights in the compartment suddenly went out, and they fell into complete darkness.
"Damn, what the hell happened?" Draco screamed, colliding with Goyle and Crabbe as he backed away, all three falling.Mixed with the screams of the three of Draco, there was the faint sound of opening the side door of the train, as if someone was getting on the train.
Schelling put his hand on his forehead helplessly. Although Draco has indeed grown a lot since the summer vacation, it still cannot change the fact that he is a timid and childish kid at heart.
Xie Lin stood there quietly without moving, as if quietly waiting for something to happen.
Daphne and Meredith also felt a little scared at first, but when they saw the towering figure of Xie Lin standing in front of them, with an aura like an abyss like an ocean, they felt a sense of security in their hearts.They didn't even let out a scream.
A cunning flashed in Daphne's eyes, and she pretended to be afraid and took the opportunity to grab Schelling's left arm—she was too smart to grab Schelling's right arm, which was used to holding a wand.Luna, who was also behind Schelling, blinked her big eyes. There was no fear in them, but a little curiosity.
At this time, Harry's trio was also in chaos. Ron tried to get close to the window to look around, but stepped on Hermione's foot, causing Hermione to scream in pain.
While the three of Harry were shuffling, their friend Neville also came over and tried to ask what happened, but Harry tripped firmly in the dark.At this time, Ginny also came. She tried to approach this carriage, but she collided head-on with Hermione, and there were two more screams of pain.
Schelling yelled, "Be quiet and stay still!" The end of his wand suddenly burst out with a milky white light as bright as moonlight and as gentle as a star, illuminating the entire aisle in the train without dazzling anyone present.
Daphne and Meredith have long been used to Schelling's abilities, but Hermione and Luna showed curious eyes.
Luna asked the question in the hearts of the two girls with a dreamlike voice: "Is this a fluorescent spell? Why is your fluorescent spell different from what I know?"
Xie Lin turned his head to look at Luna, showing a smile, "You can take it as my personal improvement of the spell, do you want to learn it? I can teach you."
Luna stared carefully at Xie Lin's pupils, and after a while she showed a sweet smile, nodded and said yes.Hermione felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the conversation between Schelling and Luna, she pursed her lips tightly at this moment, and swallowed all the words she wanted to say to Schelling.
Schelling made the three girls stand behind him, and slowly approached the middle of the confrontation between Harry and Draco.
There was a strange sound outside the carriage. Something seemed to be approaching in the darkness. It was certain that this was definitely not the sound of human footsteps. Draco, Goyle, and Crabbe hurriedly leaned into the carriage.
In the aisle illuminated by the wand in Schelling's hand, oncoming was a cloaked, ceiling-reaching monster that seemed to have no feet, but floated and slid in mid-air.Its face was completely hidden under the hood, and a hand protruded from the cloak. It was gleaming, gray and thin and scabbed, like something dead and rotting in the water.
The monster under the cloak seemed to sense everyone's gaze, and the hand suddenly retracted into the black cloak.Then it took a long, slow, trembling breath, as if it was trying to suck in something other than air from its surroundings, and everyone immediately felt a chill pass through their bodies.
"It's finally you," Xie Lin muttered in a low voice, "Dementor." It's complicated to say, but within a few seconds, everyone was surprised to find that Xie Lin took another step forward.
Harry's face was pale, his body was shaking violently, and his expression was extremely frightened, as if he had seen something terrifying.Before everyone could react, he thumped and fainted on the ground.
Ron hurriedly helped him to the side seat, and the others also fell on it.
Harry's fainting seemed to be a fuse, and an atmosphere of panic and fear spread in an instant. Draco was so frightened that his face was livid, and he couldn't even speak; Ron, Hermione and others were no better than him, and Neville was already so frightened that he sat on the ground, trembling.
"Everyone, don't panic. With me here, no one will get hurt!" Xie Lin bravely stood in front of the crowd, his tone full of firm confidence.
His courage and calmness seemed to inject a little courage into everyone present. Although the effect was not great, at least everyone saw a glimmer of hope in him. Even Ron, who had always been at odds with Schelling, unconsciously put his hope on this junior student in front of him.
"Call God to guard!" Xie Lin calmly recited a clear incantation, and his wand emitted a white light, firmly blocking the dementors outside.Schelling didn't want to expose his strength too quickly, so he didn't summon the physical Patronus. He planned to use this semi-finished Patronus Charm to delay the time until the werewolf professor Remus Lupine on the train came to the rescue.
It's a pity that things backfired. Before Professor Lu Ping came, the movement of this carriage attracted another dementor, which flew over with a howl, and the icy atmosphere became more and more dignified.The white mist formed a semicircular barrier, and Schelling stepped back half a step, the aperture range being continuously compressed.
Seeing that Professor Lu Ping hadn't arrived, Xie Lin sighed secretly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he tightened his hand holding the wand, the bright light from the end of the wand suddenly increased, and the range of the aperture became larger and larger, gradually building a complete physical Patronus. The head of the Patronus just took shape, and it looked like a one-horned lizard...
The next second, he saw a silver wolf flying out of a certain carriage, the dementor was knocked upside down by it and flew out, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.The lights in the carriage came back on again, and a strange middle-aged man walked in. He was wearing an extremely worn-out wizard robe, which was patched in several places.His face was sickly and tired, and his light brown hair was streaked with white.
"He is Professor Lupine. He was in the same compartment as us just now, and he has been sleeping on his stomach." Hermione whispered to the people around her.
"A good Patronus!" Sherin heard Lupine whisper approvingly, and he took out a large piece of chocolate from his bosom, broke it into small pieces and shared it with everyone.
When the chocolate was handed to Xie Lin, Xie Lin shook his head with a smile and refused, and cast a happy spell on the three girls behind him, and their eyes regained their brilliance.
Then Schelling led them back to their own compartment under everyone's envious eyes. Before the compartment door was closed, Hermione and Ginny could be faintly heard discussing in a low voice, as if they were discussing the spell that Schelling used to ward off the dementors.
Outside the carriage, Draco looked at the back of his younger brother leaving gracefully, with a very complicated expression on his face. Although he was mentally prepared, he felt disappointed after experiencing the gap between himself and his younger brother. He immediately lost interest in mocking Harry, and left with a cold snort.
The others were scrambling to wake Harry up. Harry slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Harry, are you all right?" Ron asked nervously.
"I'm fine!" Harry looked towards the door and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the dementor had disappeared. "Where did that monster go? Also, who was screaming just now?"
"Those monsters were chased away by Malfoy and Professor Lupine, but no one screamed." Ron narrated what happened after Harry fainted.
"I heard screams and a green light..." Harry shook his head stubbornly.
"Harry, you should take a break!" Lupine looked worried, and he handed Harry a particularly large piece of chocolate, "here, eat it, it's good for you."
"Professor, what was that just now?" Harry didn't eat the chocolate, he looked at Lupine, wondering why the other party knew his name.
"Dementors from Azkaban!" Professor Lupine crumpled up the empty chocolate wrapper and put it in his pocket. "Actually, that little Malfoy guy had done a good job before I came. You need to eat these chocolates now. I need to speak to the driver, sorry!" Professor Lupine walked out and disappeared into the corridor.
"Dementors, Azkaban!" Harry muttered, raised his head and asked in embarrassment, "Apart from me, did any of you faint?"
"No!" Ron looked at Harry anxiously, and he repeated the reactions of the others.
Although everyone was terrified, no one fainted, which made Harry's face even paler. He didn't understand. He obviously felt weak and trembling just now, as if he had just recovered from a bad flu, but why? Does anyone else not have this reaction?
The train is coming soon.
In front of the gates of Hogwarts, Schelling and Luna bid farewell - Schelling, Daphne, and Meredith are going to enter the Great Hall from the left side of the vestibule.Luna followed Ravenclaw's team to the middle of the front hall.
Before parting, the two made an appointment to meet in private if they had the opportunity to chat about "The Quibbler", or Luna could also take Schelling to see the famous eagle-shaped bronze door knocker in the Ravenclaw lounge.
