Chapter 409 Malfoy: He saved me?

The silver creatures were like lightning across the night sky. The hounds guarded the students on the train, and the eagles flew high in the sky and swooped down, knocking the Dementors apart.

Countless Dementors finally began to retreat, and their elusive figures merged into the darkness and gradually disappeared.

The lights in the train flickered, suddenly brightened, and the temperature around them began to rise rapidly.

There were warm cheers on the train, and many people leaned out of the windows and waved at Professor Abigail.

"Professor, professor! You are here to save us!"

The junior students cried excitedly.

"Professor Abigail, did you receive the message I sent? You came so quickly!"

Several students ran off the train excitedly, surrounded Abigail and kept saying how scared they were just now, and thanked her for her timely assistance.

"That's great, professor! That eagle is so handsome!"

This was a student who was far away and didn't know the situation. He only saw Abigail standing outside the train.

"The eagle is Vader's patron saint! The Doberman belongs to Professor Abigail."

A Ravenclaw student corrected loudly, his face full of pride.

Many students began to shout Vader's name loudly--

"Vade! Vader! Vader!"

After the Weasley twins led everyone to shout for a while, they stretched out their hands to lift Vader up, but Vader waved his wand, and a gust of wind blew over, pushing everyone back a step.

Vade pointed his wand at his throat and said, "Get on the train, lest those guys come to attack again. They will be attracted by happiness, so everyone's better stay quiet and calm."

Under the effect of magic, Vader's voice was very loud, and it spread to every corner of the train like thunder.

It is very unpleasant to interrupt other people's celebration, but the students who just faced the Dementors immediately recalled the fear and despair they felt a few minutes ago, and everyone listened to the advice.

The students who ran off the train without permission quickly surrounded Professor Abigail and returned to the train.

The students made "hush" gestures to each other, and several Gryffindors even deliberately covered the twins' mouths.

The relaxed smiles on everyone's faces also disappeared, replaced by tension and panic. The gloomy sky gave everyone a very bad imagination.

——The shadows that occasionally passed through the clouds, were they the Dementors that were still lingering nearby?

Fortunately, the train did not break down. With a long whistle, the wheels slowly began to turn again, and clouds of white mist came out of the chimney at the front of the train.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The sound of the wheels colliding with the rails made people feel particularly reassured.

The silver eagle flew back, from the front of the train to the rear. Some students subconsciously reached out to touch it, and then showed a very surprised look at the touch of their fingertips.

"This is very, very advanced magic..." Penelope said admiringly: "The flesh patronus is very rare."

The silver eagle flew through the corridor, spreading a silver mist behind it, dispelling the remaining chill in everyone's hearts.

They watched the patronus fly to Wade's side, the bird lowered its head slightly, and touched Wade's cheek with its forehead.

Wade touched its wings, pointed at Harry, and the patronus understood.

It flew over and landed on Harry, covering his head with its wings.

Harry opened his eyes, his whole body was covered with cold sweat, and he showed an extremely uncomfortable expression.

The eagle turned into silver mist and dissipated in an instant.

"Hey, buddy, how are you?" Ron squeezed through the crowd, helped Harry sit up, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Others also gathered around him, looking at him with concern.

"I, I'm fine." Harry panted and looked around, saying, "Where did those monsters go?"

"They ran away." Hermione said, "Professor Wade and Abigail drove them away."

Harry looked at Wade, then quickly looked away and asked, "Who was killed?"

"What?" Everyone looked at each other, and then said, "No one was killed... just a few people fainted, everyone is still alive."

"That's good..." Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Harry felt that he needed to explain: "I just heard a terrible scream..."

Everyone was puzzled.

When the Dementors appeared, some students did scream in fear, but they felt that the sound was a little far from the word "terrible".

But thinking that Harry might have fainted to save his embarrassment, everyone considerately did not expose him.

"Have some chocolate." Neville shared his chocolate frog with him and said, "My grandma said that no matter what happens, eating a piece of chocolate will make you feel much better."

"Thank you, Neville."

Harry took the chocolate, but did not eat it. Instead, he looked at Wade and said ashamedly, "Sorry, I just... I didn't summon the Patronus."

He had been learning the Patronus Charm with Remus for a long time, and he could already summon something that could barely see some shape, like a horse and a deer, and the shape was a little vague.

Harry knew that his Patronus Charm was still a little worse than Wade's, but he didn't expect that he couldn't help at all and fainted embarrassingly.

He saw Ginny - although the little girl was pale and had tears in her eyes, she was still standing strong.

But Harry himself felt weak all over, his body couldn't stop shaking, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

Harry held the chocolate frog in his hand and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

"There is nothing to apologize for." Vader shook his head and said, "The dementors have a stronger impact on you than others because you have experienced more horrible things. It is not your fault."

Harry froze.

Wade nodded to everyone and said, "I'm going to find Professor Abigail and ask something..."

"Go ahead." Michael waved his hand and said, "We are not children anymore, we can all take care of ourselves."

So Vader turned and left.

Everyone was silent for a while, with nothing to say. They didn't dare to play games anymore at this time. They just comforted each other a few words and then put away the messed up snacks and various gadgets.

Almost everyone's friends' accounts were getting hot. It was their parents who were eagerly asking for news. The students returned to their respective boxes, sat down and began to report to their families and friends that they were safe.

Harry touched his friend's tent, which was always quiet, and what Wade had just said flashed through his mind -

"The Dementors have a stronger impact on you than others because you have experienced more horrific things."

Then he later recalled what he had heard before——

"Don't touch Harry! Don't touch Harry... Just kill me... Show mercy... Show mercy..."

He suddenly understood that what he heard at that time was not the scream of a certain classmate.

But... it was the last voice his mother left in this world...

Harry's eyes quickly became moist, his throat rolled, and he tried hard to swallow the roars and howls that were about to break through his throat. Then he sniffed and took a hard bite of the chocolate frog.

…

Vader made his way down the train corridor, bumping into students along the way.

Most of the little wizards stood at the door, looking at him in awe. Some familiar guys would pat him on the shoulder and say, "Well done, Gray!" Some even wanted to shake his hand solemnly.

The latter is represented by Percy Weasley.

The red-haired boy with freckles has grown very tall. He shook hands seriously and then said:

"As the President of the Boys' Student Council, I am very grateful for your contribution to protecting this train and all the students on the train. Vader Gray, I will leave it to you for the rest of the trip."

"And...a very beautiful patron saint, Vader."

Vader was so impressed by Percy's praise that he couldn't stand this kind of guy who liked to speak in official style.

Wade hurriedly shook hands with Percy, then asked where Professor Abigail was, then turned and left.

Abigail was currently in a compartment near the rear of the car, surrounded by a group of students chattering, most of them girls.

When Wade approached, he saw Pansy wandering in the corridor outside the carriage, as if she wanted to get in, but was worried about something.

Hearing the footsteps, Pansy turned around and saw that it was Wade. She looked away with embarrassment.

Wade pretended not to see it, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when he heard a very embarrassed voice coming from behind: "That...Gray..."

The sound was thin and soft, as if it was squeezed out of a hole as big as a toothpick.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Wade turned around and saw Pansy still looking at the ground and asked uncertainly, "You called me?"

"Well..." Pansy blushed and said, "I heard someone said that Potter fainted, but you woke him up right away..."

Wade was surprised: "The news spread so quickly?"

Pansy gritted her teeth and summoned up the courage to continue: "Draco also fainted...can...can I ask you to go and have a look?"

Pansy couldn't help but worry, a dementor invaded the train from beside their carriage. Malfoy, who went out to check the situation, ran into the guy head-on.

Creatures like dementors only have a little brain, and they don't know the young master of the Malfoy family.

Even if this kind of dark creature does not directly absorb people's souls, it may cause depression or even madness if it only absorbs happy emotions.

But not to mention the two people in the car who had mastered the Patronus Charm, Wade Gray had several conflicts with them. Although Professor Abigail was popular with most students, she was not popular with Slytherin.

——The main reason is that it hurts too much when being beaten. A young wizard from a pure-blood family rarely suffers like this.

What's more, many of them had made a fool of themselves in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so in retaliation, they encouraged their parents to expel the outrageous professor from the college - no success, but they also gave Professor Abigail caused a lot of trouble.

That's why Pansy was wandering outside the carriage just now.

She felt that this professor looked easy to talk to, but was actually not easy to get along with.

After hesitating for a while, Pansy happened to see Vader and subconsciously made a request.

Then she showed an expression of regret, always feeling that she was humiliating herself.

Vader had no intention of agreeing, but when he was about to ignore her, he suddenly remembered Dumbledore's words——

"Don't push people who might be on our side to the enemy's side, give others respect and kindness."

——Okay.

Although he felt that some people were not worthy of respect, it was just a matter of convenience and there was no need to brew resentment.

So the words turned around in his mouth, and Wade said: "...let's go."

"...Huh?" Pansy didn't respond.

Vader looked at her: "Aren't you going to see Malfoy?"

"Oh...ok...thank you!"

Pansy awkwardly turned around to lead the way, almost walking in the same boat. On the way, she secretly glanced at Wade from time to time, as if she was worried that he would run away at any time.

Malfoy's carriage was very close, and he lay on the seat, with Goyle and Zabini watching.

But unlike when Harry fainted and everyone around him gathered in a circle to care about him, the two people just sat on the chairs across from each other with dull expressions. Goyle was still looking through the snacks on the table.

"Draco!"

Pansy didn't pay attention to the other people's expressions. She ran over as soon as she entered the door, reached out and touched Malfoy's head, turned around and asked, "What should I do? He's been like this forever and hasn't woken up."

Seeing that the person entering the door was Wade, the two people in the carriage were startled and looked at him in astonishment.

Vader raised his wand: "Call the gods to protect you!"

The silver eagle appeared again, flew around the roof of the car and landed on Malfoy.

The Patronus Charm is an extremely ancient magic that has existed before Dementors were born in the world.

The patron saint summoned by the spell is the embodiment of positive power and emotions, which can ward off the dark creatures that disturb people mentally and dispel the haze in the soul.

"You're talking nonsense, I'm not a Muggle!"

Malfoy suddenly yelled and sat up suddenly from his chair, just in time to bump into the chin of Pansy who was leaning over to look at him.

They both screamed in pain at the same time. One covered his forehead, the other covered his chin, and hissed and gasped. Pansy was so painful that tears came out, and she was speechless for a long time.

Zabini burst out laughing and said meaningfully: "—Muggle?"

Malfoy glared at him, looked around with lingering fear, and asked angrily: "Where is that monster?"

"He was driven away by that guy Gray..."

Zabini glanced at the door and was surprised to find that Wade had left silently.

He didn't mean to hide it, and said bluntly: "He just saved you! Otherwise, you might have fainted when you got off the car."

"——He saved me?" Malfoy said with an ugly face: "Who wants him to save me?"

Zabini shrugged, but Pansy glared at Malfoy.

Malfoy shrank his neck and felt his forehead hurt even more.

"Would you like some chocolate?" Gore asked, handing over a piece of chocolate.

Malfoy took the chocolate, ate it in one bite, and asked vaguely unwillingly: "Who can tell me what happened?"

…

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

Each carriage of the train was not completely enclosed. Through the glass door, when they saw that the person standing outside was Wade Gray, the students who were joking suddenly fell silent.

They looked at each other. A girl near the door stood up and opened the door. She blushed and said, "Um...Gray? What can I do for you?"

"Sorry." Wade said, "I'll call Professor Abigail."

Across the crowd, he saw Professor Abigail sitting at the very back.

"oh……"

Abigail was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The train is coming to the station soon. Children, go get ready..."

She looked at Wade and smiled: "We have something to talk about."
