Chapter 149 Dementors
The train started to move out of the city, across the countryside, and through the wilderness, while the four people in the carriage chatted casually.
The sky outside the car window became darker and darker, like a deep winter night.
At this time, the train slowed down and slowly stopped amidst everyone's confused expressions.
"Are we there yet?" Neville asked timidly, tightening his clothes, as if he had sensed something was wrong and was seeking comfort.
As soon as the question was asked, there were knocking sounds outside the carriage, like the sound of luggage falling, which seemed to foreshadow the occurrence of an accident.
At this moment, the lights in the car suddenly went out and they were all plunged into darkness.
"As bright as day!"
Before anyone could scream in the carriage, Wright took the lead in lighting up the entire carriage.
However, the light that should have completely illuminated the darkness was now very dim, as if it was suppressed.
"There seems to be something outside!" Luna looked at the wilderness outside the window in the light and reminded in a hazy voice.
At this moment, a cold whistling sound swept past the door of the carriage, and a strange low howl was heard faintly.
"Oh!"
The carriage door was opened from the outside, and Wright watched a dry hand wrapped in black mist reach into the compartment.
He was wearing a tattered cloak, and from his unclear face, he seemed to be constantly groaning in pain.
It now exudes an ominous black mist that is eroding the light inside the carriage.
When the Dementors appeared, a deep coldness enveloped everyone, and the little wizards in the carriage all turned pale.
"Get out, the person you are looking for is not here!"
Light, who had just experienced separation and had sad memories brought back, stared at the Dementors with an unsightly expression and reprimanded them in an extremely harsh tone.
The Dementors seemed to be very interested in Wright, and slowly approached him as if they didn't hear the rebuke.
The tattered cloak wrapped the figure floating in the air, drowning out the light released by Light.
Neville, who was sitting next to Wright, suddenly felt that everything he had was meaningless as the Dementors approached, and his whole body began to tremble in despair.
"Wow!"
The next second, a clear chime sounded, waking up Neville who was feeling depressed in the carriage.
In an instant, the carriage was filled with silvery-white light, dispelling all the chillness from everyone.
Neville came back to his senses and looked at the shocking scene with his mouth open.
The Dementors, illuminated by the light, let out twisted and crazy wails, and their figures were constantly annihilated by the light.
With the help of the light, Wright looked out the window and found that a steady stream of Dementors were gathering.
"Go! Drive them out, leaving no one behind!"
After receiving the order, the light bird flashed, rushed out of the carriage and swept across the entire train.
Along with the wails of the Dementors and the cheers of the students, all the monsters were ejected from the train with their bodies twisted by the silvery-white light.
After parading twice, there were still many Dementors pouring into the train from behind, and Guangniao didn't seem very satisfied.
Then, it flew directly to the roof of the car, reaching the air without any hindrance, and at the same time became several times larger.
It flew around the train, and countless silver spots of light kept scattering.
The falling light spots passed through the barriers and landed equally on the heads of every creature. When the students touched them, they felt a sense of relief and warmth.
The moment the Dementors touched the light, they wailed and dissipated in silver-white flames burning all over their bodies.
The birds of light flying and circling in the sky illuminate the surrounding darkness and also light up everyone's longing eyes.
Looking at the light bird flying freely in the sky, Wright muttered speechlessly: "I asked you to work, but you just pretended to be awesome!"
As the Dementors were dispelled, the lights on the train were restored, and Wright felt three burning gazes staring at him in the carriage.
At this time, the little wizards who had been healed by the light bird in the train all ran out of the carriages and onto the aisle of the train.
They all found people they knew and started a heated discussion. The light birds in the sky seemed extremely excited.
"Wright, is this 'Expecto Patronus'?" Neville asked excitedly, his eyes shining as he looked at the bird of light protecting the train.
"That's about right!" Wright said perfunctorily. He didn't dare to say that the light bird was equipped with 'Guardian of the Gods' and 'Fire Summoning'.
"That's amazing! Can I learn it now?" Ginny asked with shining eyes.
"No problem! This magic mainly relies on the power of emotions. There is a threshold but it is not high." Wright said of course it is possible.
"Then can you teach me?" Luna asked lightly.
"Uh... okay!" Wright hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Then... can I join in too?" Seeing that Wright agreed, Neville also invited him to join a team.
“Okay, but don’t expect too much from this magic.
It has no use other than to repel Dementors and protect one's heart!"
Seeing the passionate looks in the three people's eyes, Wright gave them a shot of prevention.
There was nothing wrong with teaching them. Wright was mainly afraid that they would find out that the goods were not what they had ordered and their confidence would collapse.
After all, the Light Bird is a powerful alchemical item based on a Horcrux and filled with hundreds of powerful magic runes. It is completely different from an ordinary patronus.
The three people in the car naturally would not give up and repeatedly assured themselves that they would not be disappointed.
Seeing the excited expressions of the three people, Wright sighed softly and could only hope that the shock they suffered would not be too great.
Perhaps the school had already negotiated with the Ministry of Magic, the stopped train started slowly and continued to head towards Hogwarts.
Seeing the train start, Wright called the light bird still flying in the sky to come back.
After receiving the command, the light bird made a high-speed right-angle turn in the air and rushed towards the train.
Amid the exclamations of all the students who were paying attention to it, the virtual object passed through the carriage.
The light bird passed through the carriage and turned into silver light and poured into Wright's body.
After a moment, all the light disappeared and everything returned to calm.
Neville, Ginny, and Luna all opened their eyes wide when they saw this magnificent scene, and wanted to learn Patronus even more.
As Wright was explaining the origin and function of "Guardian", the train soon arrived at the station.
Students got off the bus one after another, discussing what had just happened. The small platform was in great chaos.
"First-year students, this way!"
Hagrid's familiar voice came. The train was delayed because of the Dementor incident, and he had been waiting at the station.
As the newly enrolled young wizards were taken away by Hagrid, the remaining students, led by the prefects of each college, walked towards the open space where the Thestrals were parked.
