Chapter 216: You’ve already locked in on the College Cup just after the school started?

"Where is the savior, that's all? I didn't even faint!"

"I don't know who it was at the beginning, but I insisted on solving the basilisk in the secret room! But I met a dementor and was frightened and fainted!"

"If it weren't for them, how could Gryffindor be at the bottom for two consecutive years!"

"The dementors just broke into so many carriages, and not many people fainted!"

Ron's shout attracted many students to watch, and when they saw Harry's unconscious scene, they all showed contempt.

Lupine sighed, but didn't say anything.

Standing up, I planned to continue to rest, but saw that Yagus was not far away.

Unable to hold back the exclamation in my heart, I moved closer.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Grindelwald."

"Not only because of your amazing Patronus Charm, but also because of the help the Slytherin members you led provided to other houses."

Lupin's thanks were not only recognition of Argus, but also recognition of all Slytherin members.

All the Slytherin members were proud of it and pretended not to care.

In fact, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.

"This is what we should do, Professor Lupin."

"Whether it's Slytherin or another house, we all come from the same school...Hogwarts."

Argus's answer made Lupine's evaluation of him rise to another level.

He's had his doubts in the past.

No matter how highly Argus is rated among wizards, he is always Grindelwald's bloodline.

For dark magic...maybe more popular.

Until just now, he saw Yagus's outstanding patron saint spell and his selfless help to other academy members.

Only then did I feel truly relieved.

Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Ping suddenly realized something and his expression became a little more nervous.

What did he just call me? Professor Lupine!

How does he know my name?

Could it be that...he saw me in Knockturn Alley!

Lupine is very sensitive about his werewolf identity and is afraid that Argus will know his true identity.

Her eyes stared straight at him.

"Have you... met me before?"

"Professor, your suitcase!"

Alexia, who had just come over, pointed to Lupine's suitcase lying outside the carriage and explained for Argus.

When Yagus took them to inspect the carriage, Yagus pointed out some details about Lupine.

There was no reason why Argus couldn't see something that even she could notice.

Lu Ping woke up from his dream and smiled awkwardly.

"I thought Mr. Grindelwald had seen me before. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay. Let's calm down the students on the train first." Yagus smiled slightly and said he didn't care.

"Professor Lupin, do you have a way to contact Hogwarts? Can you tell Principal Dumbledore about the situation here and arrange an inspection in advance?"

"I'm concerned that some students are deeply affected by the Dementors and may need Madam Pomfrey's treatment."

Lupine glanced at Harry and shook his head.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Grindelwald, I don't know this kind of magic."

"If Principal Dumbledore's phoenix was here, it might still be possible."

"We can only hope that Hogwarts will get the news soon." Yagus had expected this.

After all, in the original book, the train was also attacked, but Hogwarts held the opening ceremony and sorting ceremony as usual.

How could I get the professor to come over and prepare just because I asked a few questions?

but……

Argus glanced at the indignant Hogwarts students behind him.

Take advantage of the Dementor attack on the train.

…

By the time the Hogwarts Express arrived at Hogsmeade Village, the rain had subsided a lot.

At least it's not pouring down like it did when it came.

Different from the past, Hagrid was not seen this time.

A group of students got on the Thestral, and the freshmen were led by Filch to the hall of Hogwarts Castle.

What was different from the previous two years was that after the Sorting Hat completed the sorting ceremony this year, Professor Flitwick led the Hogwarts choir to sing a song that Argus had never heard before.

When the song ended, the choir dispersed, and Dumbledore stepped onto the stage.

"Welcome back and welcome to the new school year at Hogwarts."

"Now, before you are too stunned by the feast, I have a few words to say."

"First, let's give a warm welcome to Professor Remus John Lupin!"

"He readily agreed to become Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

"Good luck, Professor Lupin!"

As he spoke, Dumbledore looked at Lupin and extended his hand to make an introduction.

Lupine also stood up and bowed to everyone to thank them.

There was warm applause all around.

Argus saw Lupine sitting next to Snape!

Snape's face at this time was so dark that he could almost drip with water!

Even the applause was just touching the hands, not even clapping.

"Our long-time Magical Creatures course teacher has decided to retire in order to enjoy his retirement."

Dumbledore waited for the applause to stop before speaking again.

"Fortunately, this position will be filled by our own Rubeus Hagrid!"

The castle hall burst into applause again, and Hagrid waved shyly. At the reminder of Professor Flitwick beside him, he wanted to stand up and say hello.

Unexpectedly, it was so big that it overturned the table in front of it.

It elicited a burst of good-natured laughter.

"Before the dinner begins, I have something important to announce."

"At the request of the Ministry of Magic, the dementors of Azkaban will come to protect Hogwarts."

"Until Sirius Black is arrested."

"Dementors will guard every entrance of the school, although the Ministry of Magic guarantees that it will not affect our normal teaching."

"But I still want to remind you!"

"Dementors are evil dark magical creatures. They cannot distinguish between the objects of arrest and the people standing in front of them."

"So, I must warn everyone,"

"Don't get close to them! Dementors have no ability to communicate!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole castle fell into panic.

It was only a few hours after the incident on the train. Even with Argus's obstruction, the fear brought by Dementors still made everyone dare not look directly at them.

Not to mention living with them day and night!

Some timid girls couldn't help sobbing.

On the podium, Dumbledore spoke again.

"Quiet!"

"Everyone, Dementors are not scary, nor are they invincible."

"On the Hogwarts Express today, Mr. Agus Grindelwald led the Slytherin Academy to protect the safety of Hogwarts students."

"They showed us with courage and action that as long as we unite as one, we can inspire unimaginable power."

"Mr. Grindelwald, because of your brave act of standing up, Slytherin will get 20 points!"

"Wuhu!"

The Slytherin long table instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

The whole hall rang with the warmest applause of the dinner.

Even Gryffindor Academy, as an opponent, was grateful to Agus for protecting the carriage from the bottom of their hearts.

"And our Slytherin Academy, for your courage and unity, Slytherin will get another 50 points!"

Now, the Slytherin long table was completely boiling.

Most students added so many points for their own academy for the first time, and they waved their fists excitedly.

"There are also many students from the other three colleges who are protecting their classmates from Dementors."

"Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff each get 10 points!"

The castle hall was completely turned into a sea of ​​joy, with countless students shouting and cheering.

Even Professor McGonagall, who was sitting in the professor's chair, had a smile on her face.

"Now, the dinner party officially begins!"
