Chapter 284: Looking like a bad guy when you go to the countryside
When Les and Helga mowed away the dementors who came to search the Hogwarts Express train one by one, the train started again, and the lights in the compartments and corridors returned to normal. .
Les rushed back to the box before his vision returned.
"What's going on outside?"
"There was a big explosion just now."
As soon as he returned to the box, Les was surrounded by Daphne and a slightly pale Astoria. The two were chattering and asking questions, eager to know what was happening outside.
Les did not answer the two's questions immediately. Instead, he looked at Neville, who had no trace of blood on his face, and asked him how he was doing.
"I feel fine, but I just couldn't help but think of some very...bad things." Neville wiped the cold sweat from his face, and there was a hint of weakness in his tone.
Astoria glanced at Neville: She had a similar feeling just now, but her reaction was not as severe as Neville's. But if the cold just now lasts longer, it would be hard to say.
The girl was very sure that it was Les who solved the source of the coldness. He was always so reliable.
"What about you? Are you okay?" After asking about Neville's situation, Rice turned his attention to Astoria.
"Yeah, no problem." Astoria nodded, suppressing the slight discomfort that had just surged in her heart, and looked full of energy.
"That's good." Les sat back in his seat.
"What about me, what about me? Don't you need to ask about my situation?" Seeing that the other two people were being asked, Daphne was skipped and immediately chose to jump out and ask.
Les glanced at her and said nothing - this guy was as healthy as a fire dragon. There must be something wrong with the Sorting Hat's sorting method. Why would a guy like Daphne be sorted into Slytherin? ?
He silently took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, then broke it and distributed it to the three of them.
"Sweets can help you get rid of negative emotions. This is a preference engraved in our souls."
"So what was outside just now?" Chocolate could not block Daphne's mouth, nor could it quench her curiosity.
"A creature called a dementor, don't worry, I've already taken care of them."
Hearing the term "dementor", the three young wizards in the carriage raised their heads at the same time.
Les:?
"You all look like you know what this is?"
"It's the guard of the wizard prison Azkaban." Rice got the answer from Astoria.
Les thought for a while, and their appearance must be related to Sirius.
Maybe the Ministry of Magic has a good idea. Changing places, Rice also supported the use of Dementors to search the Hogwarts train, but the search must be under the supervision of Ministry of Magic officials, not like just now.
You still need a leash when walking your dog. How dare you let a dark creature walk alone? ! What's going on in your head? Brand new brains should not be sold to potion makers.
A quarter of an hour after the train restarted, it arrived at Hogsmeade Station.
When the train finally stopped, a chaotic and noisy sound suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the carriage. The little wizards were in groups, walking towards the platform outside with their pets.
The rain caused the temperature outside to drop sharply, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the platform. The water droplets hit the people and quickly soaked the students' wizard robes. Hagrid called out to the first years as usual. His voice was extremely loud and could still resound throughout the entire station without the blessing of magic.
"You guys go first, I still have something to deal with here." Seeing that the number of people in the corridor outside was gradually decreasing, Les directly asked the three young wizards to leave first, while he deliberately lagged behind.
He wanted to have a good chat with Hufflepuff on the way to school.
"I-" Daphne was about to say something when Astoria tugged on her sleeve and pulled her out of the carriage.
"Astoria, you-"
"Shh." Astoria glared at Daphne, took out two copper pieces from her arms, put them against her sister's ears, and put one on herself.
"What is this?" Seeing that Neville was trying hard to stuff his toad into his arms and did not notice the small movements of the two, Daphne lowered her voice and asked.
Astoria took out her wand and tapped the copper plate twice to activate the copper plates worn by the two of them.
"It's a gadget I figured out during my vacation. I just put one in Les's hood when he wasn't paying attention. These three copper pieces were connected to each other by my magic. As long as Les is there, If you are talking, we can hear it from here.”
Les:…
Astoria's voice sounded in his hood, allowing him to hear it clearly.
He scratched his head and took the copper piece out of the hat.
Don't mention it, the little girl's idea is quite good and very creative. The only drawback is that the sound of the copper plate is conducted in both directions...
"Get off the bus early, lest there be no Thestrals in the carriage for a while."
Daphne, Astoria:? !
The two people froze on the spot.
"Astoria, can Les hear us talking?!" Daphne asked angrily.
"Yes." Les's voice sounded in their ears.
"The design shouldn't have this effect!" Astoria's brain stopped thinking. She really didn't know which link had the problem.
She could only take off the copper piece to close it, and then fled the train car like flying. She would have no face to see Les again in a short time.
After the children all got off the train, Les slowly walked out of the carriage and saw Hufflepuff leaning on an eaves to take shelter from the rain on the almost deserted platform.
"Let's go?"
Hufflepuff walked over, and the raindrops fell on her like a film of oil, sliding away without even getting the corners of her clothes wet. Rice glanced up at the sky and used his magic power to build a thin film of water above the two of them, thus completely blocking off the trouble of raindrops.
Hufflepuff did not rush to Hogwarts with Les, but stood there and carefully looked at the scenery around Hogsmeade Station.
"The changes are so great. Everything around here is familiar except the outline of the mountains." After taking in the surrounding scenery, Hufflepuff let out a sigh.
At this moment, the only one who can resonate with her is Lan Ke, right?
Others watched a game of chess and decades passed before they knew it. She took a risk and was taken a thousand years later.
The Hufflepuff clenched her fists.
Les didn't panic at all: It's a rainy day now, so I have the advantage!
"This village was founded by your student. It's called Hangis, right? He opened a tavern here." Les remembered something and started complaining to Hufflepuff.
"Yes, and then we often have to leave the castle in the middle of the night to catch students who sneak out to drink." Hufflepuff also remembered the stories of battles of wits and courage with students in those years.
