Chapter 284 Dementors

The biggest thorn in the side of Hogwarts, Ada is the only one in the school who dares to fight with the professor. Her name and her sweet voice like wind chimes seemed to give all the students a reassurance.

The noisy carriage suddenly became quiet, and the students' heads retracted into the box. People's names, trees' shadows, Ada's words are much more useful than Clark's.

"The situation is not quite right. Shall I go find the train driver and ask about the situation?" Clark also realized that something was wrong, he suggested.

"Stay still and take care of the classmates in this carriage first." Ada shook her head and rejected Clark's suggestion. The situation is unknown now, and the carriage is extremely dark, so walking around may lead to danger.

The car is getting colder and colder, and the white mist exhaled becomes more obvious.

Suddenly, the sliding door of the train opened!

Under the light of the flames, a tall figure wearing a cloak could be seen standing at the door of the train. He was so tall and big that he almost touched the ceiling. His face was completely hidden under the hood.

A hand stretched out from under the cloak. It was gray-white, shining eerily, and seemed to be covered with mucus and spots, like something that rotted in the water after death...

Those are the dementors, the wardens of Azkaban, dark creatures that feed on happiness!

The dementor hidden under the cloak slowly floated into the car. The guy took a long, slow breath, making a gurgling sound in his throat, as if he was sucking in more than just the surrounding air.

An unspeakable cold atmosphere spread in the carriage. Some people were shivering, some felt out of breath, and some were shivering. Although the expressions are different, everyone has a common feeling - it seems that there will no longer be happiness in this world!

The car that had just been quiet became chaotic again, with painful sobs and frightened screams.

Side emotions such as fear and sadness made the students in the box want to escape, but their bodies did not obey their orders at all. Some fell to the ground, and some could not even stand up.

Ada also felt unprecedented sadness, as if she had returned to the last moment of her life.

The snow-white igloo-like ward, the pale and dazzling lights, the blazing flames, and the boundless darkness...the dim night, the broken street lights, the vicious gang members, the black fog in the sky, and the violent explode……

What belongs to her and what doesn't belong to her, these painful memories come to mind together.

Ada felt as if her body and soul had been torn apart. Half of her body still maintained basic sanity and sobriety, but the other half was making noises, eager for killing and the baptism of blood.

Ada really wanted to just fall asleep like that, just like before, she would be relieved and she wouldn't have to think about anything. There will be no pain, no fatigue, no sadness, and no disappointment.

But she couldn't just sleep like this. If she had to do it again, she didn't want to stop here. Behind her are a group of little doggies who can only cry in despair. She also wants to open a joke shop with Fred and George. How can she stop!

Ada leaned against the wall to prevent herself from falling due to lack of strength. She raised her right hand with difficulty and muttered in a low voice: "Calling the gods to protect you!"

A silver-white Chow Chow suddenly appeared in the carriage.

The "sad-faced" Chow Chow usually looks naive, and its stilt-like steps make people laugh, but its well-developed muscles give it great strength.

The patron saint who followed Ada's call let out an earth-shattering roar.

The Chow Chow rushed towards the Dementor, and its stilt-like steps did not make it look funny, but gave it a majestic feeling.

From the moment the Patron Saint appeared, the Dementor wanted to escape, but before he could escape, the silver Chow Chow galloped in front of him and pounced directly on him.

A powerful swoop!

The Chow Chow threw the Dementor to the ground in one fell swoop. The dementors tried to struggle, but could not escape the suppression of the patron saint. The fleshy lips of the patron saint opened wide and bit directly into the dementor's neck.

There were no screams, no blood-spattered scenes inappropriate for children, but the temperature in the carriage gradually began to rise, and the lost happiness returned.

At the sliding door of the train, the Dementor from earlier had disappeared, and all that was left on the ground was a tattered cloak. The silver-white patron saint is patrolling his territory with his head held high.

"Then...what is that?" Clark asked with a trembling voice. He had never seen such a terrifying creature.

Ada wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Dementors are usually responsible for guarding Azkaban. Such creatures should not exist in this beautiful world."

The silver patron saint tiptoed back to Ada from the door of the car. Its innocent look was in stark contrast to its ferocity just now. The Chow Chow rubbed Ada's calf affectionately with its broad head, and then squatted down at Ada's feet.

"Thankfully you are here," Clark sighed, "otherwise I really don't know how it would have ended..."

"Stop talking about this now." Ada took out a few pieces of chocolate from her pocket and put them in Clark's hands.

Ada continued: "Give these to them and ask them who has extra chocolate or candies. I'll go to the front and have a look."

"Okay, you...be careful." Clark said as he began to distribute chocolates.

Ada didn't delay any longer and walked directly to the car in front. The silver-white Chow Chow stayed where he was and did not leave with Ada.

The Hogwarts Express suddenly stops, and dementors enter the carriage and attack the students. Ada didn't think it would be an exception when this happened, and there would never be only one Dementor on the train.

Of course, these Dementors must have a mission to appear here, but the "delicious food" in front of them made these Dementors lose control.

Ada expected it to be true. Every time she entered a carriage, she would see fearful and panicked students, as well as dementors sucking the happiness around them. Ada used silver-white "mist" to drive away the dementors again and again, driving these evil creatures away from the train.

At the same time, the twins at the other end of the train were doing the same thing. Two silver-white magpies chased the dementors and pecked them.

Although they like to play pranks and always play tricks on their classmates, Fred and George are warm people at heart. The two brothers first drove away the dementors in their own carriage, and then drove away the dementors in nearby carriages.

Angelina, Aaliyah, and Li Jordan followed the twins to check if any students were injured and to comfort the younger students.

This was the first time for members of Dawn to act collectively, and they did not expect that they would catch such a big scene for the first time.

Outside the train control room, Ada was about to leave. She had confirmed her suspicion. The driver stopped the train after receiving the notice of impending inspection, but he didn't know that the person inspecting the train would be a dementor.

I don’t know what the Ministry of Magic was thinking, actually letting dementors come to inspect a train full of students.

Does the Ministry of Magic have absolute confidence in controlling the Dementors, or are they really stupid? Even if the Ministry of Magic really believed that students would hide fugitives under their school robes, couldn't they use Aurors? Are all the people in the Legal Enforcement Department just doing their jobs?

Good thing now, the fugitive from Azkaban was not caught but instead frightened the students on the train to the point of crying and howling. Fudge will be waiting to receive a lot of shouting letters tomorrow!

Ada complained in her heart about the pig-like behavior of the Ministry of Magic. When she looked up, she saw a strange man striding towards the control room.

The first impression this strange man gave people was that he was down and out. He looked sick and had no strength at all. Although he still looks young, his light brown hair is already a bit gray.

"You are Mr. Drizzt, right? All the students in those carriages were thanking you!" said the strange man. He was wearing a tattered wizard robe, which was covered with patches.

The strange man then introduced his identity. He said: "Remus Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

"Hello, Professor Lupin," Ada said politely.

The new professor in front of her was the unlucky one this year, and Ada unconsciously began to worry about him. With this sickly look, can he really survive this semester?

Remus Lupine looked past Ada and towards the control room behind her. Lupine asked, "So, the dementors are here to search for Black?"

"Yes, Professor Lupin," Ada said, "Temporary inspection."

Lupine lowered his head and began to rummage through his pockets. He first took out a wad of wrapping paper, and then found what he was looking for. Lupine said: "It just so happens that there is one last piece of chocolate left. It will help you."
