Section 322
The Auror did not dare to look at him, and slowly turned his head as if he felt guilty.
Another Auror coughed lightly, "Principal Dumbledore, let's go over then..."
"Of course." Dumbledore nodded slightly.
The two Aurors took two steps forward, looked back at Dumbledore, sighed twice, and disappeared into the vortex.
…
The dementors were hovering in the distance, like a dark curtain, completely covering the sky, not letting any light shine through.
Dumbledore frowned and already held the wand in his hand.
I don't know how long it took, but the Hogwarts Express was traveling in the distance, and the Dementors hovering in the air became restless. One of the Dementor teams fell at a very fast speed and couldn't wait to smash into the Hogwarts Express.
Dumbledore's brows furrowed even more, and he narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the dementors enter the Hogwarts Express as if they were lining up.
Not long after, the Hogwarts Express, which had been plunged into darkness, burst into bright silver light, almost covering the train.
Those dementors who launched the search fled in panic, away from the Hogwarts Express.
Seeing this scene, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief and disappeared into the vortex.
But not long after, he returned from the whirlpool again and turned his gaze to the sky.
The hovering dementors became even more restless, like sharks smelling blood in the sea, and they all pounced on the train below.
The already gloomy sky now actually had white spots appearing, as if there was floating frost.
Two balls of silver light shot into the sky, and the Aurors activated their physical guardian spirits to try to drive away the restless Dementors.
The Dementors were completely unmoved and continued to attack the Hogwarts Express, as if they were stimulated by something.
"Sure enough, this situation will happen... It should be in time..." Dumbledore groaned, raised his wand and made an arc, "Huh..."
Before he could recite the incantation, the silver light in the carriage suddenly went out and then quickly lit up again.
Three physical patron saints flew out, a golden eagle, a horned owl, and an irregular ball of light, all facing the menacing dementors head-on.
The Golden Eagle Patronus flew at the front and quickly dispersed a large number of Dementors;
One of the dementors was unable to dodge and was passed by the golden eagle. Its figure instantly shriveled and fell to the ground like a piece of rag.
Seeing the dementors fleeing in all directions, the frost turning into raindrops again, and the Hogwarts Express moving forward again, Dumbledore let out a long breath, and his body turned into a vortex and disappeared into the rain.
----------------------------------------
When Weizet and Luna cast the Patronus Charm, the movement in the corridor suddenly became smaller, as if frozen by the sudden cold.
"The dementors should have come in..." Thanks to the assistance of the night vision spell, Vizette could feel the movement in the corridor.
Accompanied by weird friction sounds and "gurgling" breathing sounds, the sliding door in front of you was slowly opened.
Clinging to the edge of the sliding door was a gray-white hand covered with spots and mucus, as if it was undergoing decay.
The sliding door was slowly pushed open, and a dementor wearing a cloak came in. Only by such a close encounter could one realize that the dementor was very tall.
It had to hunch over to get into the car. Its face was covered with scabbed gray-white skin. It had no nose, no eyeballs in its eye sockets, and a ragged gap where its mouth was.
The moment the Dementor probed its head, the silver light emitted by the physical guardian angel happened to be in front of it.
As if it had discovered a natural enemy, it made a series of "clucking" sounds and then quickly retreated.
"Is it more effective than expected?" Weizet gently picked up the wand, and the golden eagle patron saint hovered in mid-air, flapping its wings following the trajectory of the wand.
In an instant, the silver light that originally filled a carriage spread to every corner of the Hogwarts Express.
The dementors who were checking other carriages reacted and found themselves surrounded by silver light;
Like the first Dementor, they made a series of "gurgling" sounds, hurriedly escaped from the carriage, and fled along the aisle out of the train.
…
"Is it over?" Michael's tone was a bit incredulous. He looked at the warm silver light around him and raised his hand to touch the silver light. "Is the Patronus Charm so powerful?"
"It's not that easy to use it..." Anthony shook his head, "Normally, you have to have talent..."
"Hiss...but look at the window..." Chris said, "Why is it starting to freeze?"
"Icing?" Anthony and the others looked at the window. The window turned into a white patch, apparently turning into ice.
Vizette snapped his fingers, and a fiery red light appeared outside the window.
The ice clinging to the window melted quickly. He waved his hand upwards, and the window was immediately opened;
Outside the window were the Dementors hovering in the air. They made "gurgling" sounds one after another. The dense sounds gathered together, making people's scalp numb.
"So many... Dementors!" Anthony stuttered, "The Ministry of Magic is really crazy! The Dementors are also crazy!"
"Everyone, stay away from the entrance! Everyone, move closer to the back of the train!" Remus Lupine's voice sounded in a deep voice.
"Everyone, stay back! Everyone, move closer to the back of the train!" Remus Lupine lowered his voice and said, "I am the new... professor of Hogwarts!"
"Close all the windows! Dementors are physical! If you want to enter the carriage, you have to enter through the door! Get out of your carriage! Move closer to the light!"
Chapter 141 The Patronus Charm is not restrained enough
"This Professor Lupin... I feel much more reliable than the previous professor!" Hearing Remus Lupine's calm voice, Ron's face flashed with joy.
"Well..." Hermione stood next to Ron and responded absently, looking back with some worry, "What happened to Harry... why did he faint?"
"I don't know, maybe I didn't sleep, okay? After all, I heard such dangerous things..." Ron raised his arm, blocked in front of Hermione, and supported Ginny who fell backwards, "Ginny, are you okay? Bar!"
Hermione and Ron were both standing in the corner of the carriage, and behind them was Harry, who was still in a coma.
Harry's brows were filled with resentment and pain, his face was covered with cold sweat, and the bangs covering the scar were very snug, stuck to his forehead with sweat.
"I'm fine!" Ginny nodded slightly, finally regaining her balance, turned with some difficulty, and glanced behind her, "How is Harry?"
"It's just a coma, should he be fine?" Ron's tone was a little uncertain, and he added, "At least Professor Lupin said he is fine."
What Lupine said did have a reassuring effect. Under the guidance of these words, the students on the Hogwarts Express continued to squeeze toward the last section of the train.
His face was serious, and there was almost no trace of blood on his already pale face. "Yes! You can enter this compartment, there is still room!"
In stark contrast to the pale face, are those piercing eyes, with a sense of unhurried calmness.
Perhaps it was because of the dementors' oppression that the students felt a sense of crisis and panic, and were willing to obey his orders.
When making arrangements, he did not need to explain too much, or even repeat the words a third time, before the students were willing to cooperate and enter the corresponding car with empty seats.
Lupine shouted and directed the students' actions while pushing forward, his eyes constantly looking around, feeling the diffuse silver light.
Even if it’s Principal Dumbledore’s patronus...
It didn't give him such a feeling...
This is an extremely pure beauty...
It even gave him an illusion, as if this kind of beauty did not belong to this world...
…
Lupine felt a little lazy, as if he was sitting by a warm fireplace with a group of relatives and friends around him...
wrong!
I'm on the Hogwarts Express!
The dementors are coming! There are still students who need guidance!
Fortunately, the few students who appeared in front of him brought him back to his senses.
Two of the students looked tall and thin, and their facial features looked very similar. They should be twins, with familiar red hair and freckles;
When Lupine saw the red-haired man, a smile appeared on his lips. There was no need to guess the identity of the twins. They must be Ron's brothers who were in the same carriage with him, and they were both members of the Weasley family.
There was another student who looked much younger. He was holding a Polaroid in his hand, and under the guidance of the Weasley twins, he took several pictures of scenes in the carriage.
"Weasley! Weasley!" Lupine shouted quickly, "There should be room in the front car, hurry up and get in!"
"Oh! The new professor is here, let's run!" The twins waved to Lupine with a smile, and then they took the students holding Polaroids and got into the crowd together.
"They run so fast!" Lu Ping felt a little amused, and planned to look for the twins after finishing the current business.
After he arranged the students in front of him, there was only a handful of people left in the aisle.
In the carriages on both sides of the aisle, there were slightly frightened faces. It was obviously the credit of this small group of people that allowed them to enter the carriage.
Lupine looked at several of the students. They were wearing badges on their chests, not only the prefect badges, but also the student union president badges.
In addition to the prefects and the student council president, Weizet, Luna, the Weasley twins from before, the students holding Polaroids, and six or seven other people were all gathered together.
Lupine noticed a slightly familiar figure: he had neatly styled light blond hair and was talking to Weizet.
Could it be Lucius Malfoy's child?
A trace of doubt arose in Lu Ping's heart. Now was not the time to think about this. He quickly stepped forward, planning to say something.
Weizet was the first to speak: "Professor Lupine, what happened? Why did those dementors lose control?"
"Wait a moment..." Lu Ping closed his eyes and felt the time for two breaths.
He could clearly feel that the strange and beautiful feeling disappeared.
Now the feeling brought to him by the Golden Eagle Patron Saint has turned into warmth and security.
