Chapter 214
It seems that this savior has been completely led astray by Ron.
Argus continued to walk into the carriage without any pause.
In the original book, although Harry was sometimes reckless, he did not like to show off like this.
Counting on an arrogant and stubborn savior to fight Voldemort?
Ha!
Alexia, who has been promoted to prefect, and another male prefect of the same grade followed Argus.
Not far away, a pale middle-aged man in the carriage caught Argus’s attention.
He was dressed neatly and looked decent.
But he could not hide his physical weakness.
His eye sockets were swollen due to long-term malnutrition, and scars were faintly visible on his exposed palms.
Lupin?
This year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is indeed him!
Originally wanted to pull him into the Saints, but he was still fooled by Dumbledore.
If I remember correctly, he has already gotten together with Sirius.
Next, he will work with Sirius to find ways to catch Peter Pettigrew.
Argus noticed that Lupin was not asleep, but just resting his eyes.
But he did not intend to say hello, and asked Alexia and the others to continue moving forward.
“Is that… the new professor?”
“Magical zoology?”
Alexia asked in confusion.
Just looking at Lupin’s appearance, it does seem that he hangs out with magical animals all day long.
“He is the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.” Argus replied softly.
“How do you know, Chief?” Alexia was a little confused.
“Look carefully at his palms and face.”
It was much easier for Argus to seek results with answers.
“If you are a professor of Magizoology, you will often go to the wild to contact magical animals.”
“Frequent exposure to the wind and sun in the wild will make your face rougher, with some old injuries or scratches.”
“The same is true for hands. If you often contact magical animals in the wild, your hands will also have scars.”
“But look at this professor…”
According to Argus’s words, Alexia secretly glanced at him twice and sighed in a low voice.
“Yes! He does not have wounds on his hands like Mr. Scamander!”
While several people were talking, Lupin also secretly pricked up his ears to listen.
Hearing Argus’s analysis, he was secretly amazed.
As expected, he almost became the head of the college in his first year. With this meticulous observation, it is not something that ordinary students can have.
If Harry was not the savior in the prophecy… I guess… Alas!
I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse to be in the same grade with such a person. I hope Harry can withstand this pressure!
As he spoke, Argus had passed by Harry’s carriage.
The movement of the three people attracted the attention of several people in the carriage.
“Oh, it’s that evil Slytherin again!”
“The former prefect of Slytherin graduated, he must be very proud!”
“The whole Slytherin listens to him alone!”
Ron would mutter a few words every time he saw Argus.
It seemed that only in this way could he show his fearlessness and hatred for Slytherin.
Regarding Ron’s attitude towards Argus, Harry still maintained his style of playing it safe.
Neither agreed nor refuted.
Instead, the other people in the same carriage with them frowned a little when they heard it.
“Argus has helped Gryffindor many times! Last school year, it was he who saved our Gryffindor students!”
“Yes, it was Argus who taught us the Defense Against the Dark Arts class last school year. If it weren’t for him, we would have…”
“He did it on purpose! Slytherin is a group of dark wizards!”
Ron was extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of several people defending Argus.
He almost quarreled with his classmates because of this.
Fortunately, Harry was there to explain a few words for him.
…
Argus walked through the compartments of the Slytherin members with two prefects.
Remind each Slytherin member to close the compartment door.
When passing the compartments of Hermione, Ginny, and the Weasley twins, he also knocked on the door and went in to remind them a few words.
His words were not very tactful, but in front of most of the young wizards who were not yet adults, this kind of reminder was not abrupt.
Especially now that the weather has been getting cooler, it is not normal to close the door in order to maintain the temperature of the compartment.
During this period, Hermione, Ginny and others had invited Argus to rest in their compartments, but Argus used the reason of patrolling as an excuse.
Euphemistically refused.
Outside the window, the originally sunny weather had become gloomy at some point.
The drizzling raindrops gradually lowered the temperature in the compartment.
As the sky darkened, the light in the compartment became less and less.
The Weasley twins, who were doing their homework, had to cast the Luminescence Charm to ensure the light was bright.
“The Dementors are coming!”
Aggs watched as the sky gradually darkened.The carriage gradually became more alert.
“Alexia, go check on the sophomores and freshmen.”
“Tell them to prepare in advance and change their clothes.”
Agus looked at the two people behind him and made arrangements.
With Alexia’s talent, even if she didn’t know the Patronus spell, she wouldn’t be unable to protect a few little wizards.
The two nodded without doubt and walked to the back.
Not long after the two walked, the car windows suddenly condensed layers of ice at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The lights on the car made a sizzling sound, and after flashing twice, they all went out!
The whole car was plunged into darkness!
There was a sudden noise around.
“What’s going on? Why did the lights suddenly go out?”
“Look, there’s ice outside the window! Why do I feel so cold all of a sudden!”
“What’s floating outside the window! So scary!”
There was panic in the car.
At this moment, several figures wearing black cloaks appeared outside the carriage and were drilling in from the entrance of the carriage.
The withered palms tightly grasped the door of the carriage.
“Get out! Dirty reptiles!”
The Dementors were stunned by Argus’s scolding.
They could only tell that Argus was not the one they were looking for, but they had no intention of stopping.
They continued to drill into the carriage.
…
Harry and Ron also saw the Dementors floating outside the window.
Although they didn’t know what they were, they knew it wouldn’t be a good thing.
They hurriedly called the students in the carriage to close the door.
“Close the door, close the door quickly, don’t let them in!”
Ron’s anxious and slightly frightened voice made the students in the carriage secretly curl their lips!
Just now he said how brave he was, but now he encountered something, he was more afraid than anyone else!
He just knew how to brag all day long!
The two deliberately slowed down, wanting to see Ron’s joke.
It was because of their procrastination that the Dementors found an opportunity!
A pale, corpse-like hand grabbed the door of the carriage and twisted it hard!
It clearly had no eyes, but Harry felt that it was staring at him!
An indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
The Dementors stretched out their palms in the direction of Harry, causing a scream.
Ron was so scared that he almost hid under the table.
The Dementors were also very strange.
On Harry’s body, it felt a familiar breath belonging to Sirius!
Because of this, it took a few breaths towards Harry.
The transparent airflow representing happiness was sucked in through the Dementors’ mouth.
Harry felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and the pain that could not be described in words made him unable to even struggle.
His eyes went black and he fainted.
