Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 123 The situation subsides

The silver-white fire dragon roared out of the carriage, directly tearing the monster outside the door into pieces.

Then I saw the fire dragon roaring through the entire train and flying towards the outside world.

The shining light illuminated the darkness, illuminated the faces of everyone in the train, and also made the monsters from the outside subconsciously stay away from the train.

The fire dragon rushed straight towards the group of monsters, and every monster touched by the silver-white fire dragon let out a creepy howl.

At the same time, a shadow poured out from the soles of John's feet, and quickly came under the monsters outside.

In the next second, a large number of black silk threads sprayed out from the inside out, directly wrapping around the driven monsters.

The monsters couldn't get rid of these black threads, which seemed to be no thicker than wool. In the end, they could only be pulled into the shadow below by the huge force carried by them, and disappeared.

The silver-white fire dragon soared around the entire train several times, until the Auror who received the news arrived, and then disappeared in a ray of light.

John withdrew his wand, and as the monsters were dispelled, the electricity on the train was restored, and the lights came on again.

"Harry! Harry!" Hermione patted Harry's face anxiously, he looked pale at the moment.

Sirius anxiously looked down at Harry who closed his eyes and frowned, and subconsciously looked up at John.

"I'll take a look."

John knelt down to look at Harry's pale face, and took out a bottle of golden potion that shone brightly like the sun.

When the cork was removed, a certain sweet summer scent permeated the air, and everyone who smelled this scent felt their mood lightened and jumped up.

John poured out a little bit of the potion and moistened the other party's lips, and Harry's pale face suddenly became rosy again, his frown that was originally frowned gradually relaxed, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Harry gradually opened his eyes as the Hogwarts Express started to shake again.

Because he was sitting near the door of the carriage, Harry was attacked by those monsters, that is, dementors, immediately.

Dementor, also known as Soul Eater, it wears a cloak, and its whole body seems to be soaked in water, with scabbed palms, and its whole body is rotten.

Dementors have no facial features, and there is a hole where the mouth should be, which can suck away people's happy memories, and can absorb people's happiness through the sense of smell.

Dementors are some of the most heinous creatures on earth, haunting the darkest and filthiest places in hordes, cheering corruption and despair, and sucking peace, hope and joy out of the air around them.

Get too close to a dementor and it sucks away any good feelings you have, any memory of joy, and if it can, it will feed off of you for so long that it will end up making you just like it - soulless and evil , leaving you with only the worst memories of your life.

Dementor hoods are only put down when they use their last, worst weapon, and the thing underneath, known as the "Dementor's Kiss", is something that Dementors do to anyone the Dementors want to destroy completely.

They press their jaws to their victim's mouth and suck out the victim's soul.

Not killing them, but worse than killing, just brain and heart working, no sense of self, no memory, nothing, no chance of recovery.

People who have been kissed by dementors are just alive, just walking dead.

The soul is doomed!No more sense of self, no more memory, no more of anything, and no hope of recovery, you just live.

An empty shell.Your soul is lost and gone forever.

Therefore, this evil dark creature is used by the Ministry of Magic to guard the Azkaban wizard prison in Azkaban, continuously tormenting the prisoners in the prison, and regularly sucking their happiness every day, making life worse for these prisoners.

This is why Sirius looked so hysterical when he first escaped from prison. Even if the other party would turn into a black dog and try his best to make his mind the same, he would still be tortured by dementors occasionally.

But even such a small amount of torture caused indelible damage to Sirius.

And most importantly, for the time being, there is no magic that can destroy this magical creature in the wizarding world, only the Patronus Charm can expel it.

Cast the Patronus Charm just like John did just now.

The Patronus Charm is one of the most powerful and oldest defensive spells in the wizarding world, and is also the most famous.

The difficulty of successfully casting the Patronus Charm is extremely high. When casting this spell, the wizard needs to concentrate, think of the happiest thing in his heart, and say "Calling the Guardian".

Only a few wizards can summon a complete patron saint through the Patronus Charm, and different people have different patron saints.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Harry saw Ron, Hermione, and Wick with anxious faces. Looking up slightly, Harry saw John who was putting away something, and Professor Lupine who was also worried about him.

"Are you all right?" Ron asked nervously.

"It's okay," Harry said.

Indeed, as he said, Harry felt that he was in a very good mood now, and he always had a certain smile on his face.

"Don't worry, the potion made by Mr. Williams works very well." Professor Lupine said, "Of course to ensure that there are no sequelae."

There was a click, which startled them all, and saw Professor Lupine break a large piece of chocolate into several pieces.

"Here," he said, handing Harry an extra-large slice, "eat it, it will help."

After thanking Harry, he took the chocolate and took a bite while Professor Lupine watched.

Along with chewing, the sweet taste burst between the lips and teeth, which brought Harry a good mood again.

"What's that thing?" Harry asked Lupine suspiciously.

"Dementor" Lupine replied, "Dementors of Azkaban," as he handed out chocolates to everyone.

Everyone except John stared at him in amazement as Professor Lupine crumpled up the empty chocolate wrapper and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Eat," he said again, "excuse me, I need to talk to the driver..."

He walked past Harry and disappeared into the passage.

And when Lupine left and Harry sat down again, Ron looked at John excitedly just now.

"John, what magic did you cast just now? It's so cool!"

"That's the Patronus Charm, a spell that's difficult to master!" Hermione said excitedly after she regained her composure.

John smiled and didn't say much.

But he was a little dissatisfied with Fudge in his heart. Is there no one in the Ministry of Magic?Where are all the Aurors protecting the little wizard?Letting dementors attack trains is utter dereliction of duty,
Principal Dumbledore promised Fudge to let these things into the school, not to mention whether Sirius would be caught, these things are the most serious threat to the students in the school.

If these dementors were attracted by the happiness of the students and couldn't help but strike, would the Ministry of Magic be able to bear the consequences?

Looking at the thick cloud outside and the looming dementors in the clouds, John felt that in the process of continuing to study soul magic, he could try to create some kind of magic that could eliminate dementors. Naturally an ally of Voldemort.

Adjusting the plan in his mind, he will go through the world after he is ready to enter school, and use the time difference of the time difference to create these magics.

So the number of dementors captured now is somewhat insufficient. It seems that he still needs to continue to capture some dementors to ensure that there are enough experimental subjects.

They didn't speak much for the rest of the trip.

Finally, the train stopped at Hogsmeade Station, everyone got off the train, and the scene was chaotic.The owl was hooting, the cat was hooting, and Neville's pet toad was croaking under his hat.

The cold air on the small platform was overwhelming, and the bone-chilling rain poured down.

"Freshman, this way!" A familiar voice shouted.

I saw Hagrid's huge figure on the other side of the platform, beckoning the panicked first years to cross the lake in the traditional way.

Naturally, Hagrid saw John and the others, and Hagrid waved to them with a smile, but he had no chance to speak to them, because the surrounding crowd pushed them towards the other side of the platform.

John and the others followed the other students to a rough muddy path outside, where at least a hundred carriages were waiting for the remaining students, but no horses could be seen.

In other words, only a very small number of people can see horses.

They got into the carriage in an orderly manner. There was a faint musty and straw smell in the carriage, which made many little wizards frown.

After everyone boarded the carriage, the carriage moved by itself, bumping and shaking forward.

The carriage drove up to two imposing wrought-iron gates flanked by stone pillars topped by winged boars.

On both sides of the gate are the monsters that were attacking the train just now, that is, dementors.

They stood guard at the door one by one, and suddenly, a cold and uncomfortable feeling hit the little wizards.

John saw Harry sink his head into the bumpy seat after seeing the dementors, and close his eyes until he passed through the middle of the door before opening them again.

The carriage sped up the long uphill drive to the castle.

Hermione poked her head out of the small car window, watching the many turrets and towers getting closer to them.

Finally, the carriage wobbled to a stop, and they got out of the carriage.

After getting off the car, everyone couldn't help shivering. The temperature in Hogwarts was obviously abnormally cold.

They even saw a thin layer of ice on the accumulated water on the ground, and the breeze blowing with a bone-chilling chill slipped into the clothes along the neck, making people shiver uncontrollably.

John raised his head slightly to look at the sky. There were a large number of dementors hidden in those clouds. Because the number was too large, their own characteristics had already affected the outside world.

That's why Hogwarts is so cold.

Follow the crowd up the stone steps, through the majestic oak doors, and into the spacious and deep foyer.There were burning torches, and a magnificent marble staircase led upstairs.

On the right, the door to the Great Hall was open, and Harry followed the crowd towards it, having just glanced at the enchanted ceiling - a dark, cloudy sky tonight.

Just then a voice was heard calling, "John! John! Come to me!"

Hearing the voice, Harry looked behind him, only to see Professor McGonagall, the teacher of Transfiguration and the head of Gryffindor College, yelling at them through the heads of the crowd.

She is a stern-looking witch with hair tied in a tight bun and piercing eyes with square glasses.

The first time John heard Professor McGonagall's voice, he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards her under the gaze of Harry and the others.
