Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 195 If I Had Known That Dementors Would Also...

Nothing can silence the entire box more than a teacher pretending to be asleep.

Even though this teacher was wearing a tattered robe, had gray hair, and looked sick.

"Are we going to read all the way in the car?"

Ron asked Harry and Coin in a hushed voice.

"Ron, this isn't such a terrible thing!" Hermione whispered.

"It's a really scary thing."

Cohen said,
"Let's just silence them."

“?”×4
"We can chat after knocking him out," Cohen explained. "We are minors. Minors who fight will only be sent to juvenile detention center - and there are no juvenile detention centers in the wizarding world..."

"Cohen, this is too violent," Harry said. "And we'll be—wait, school hasn't started yet, does that mean—"

"We won't get any points deducted," Ron said wisely.

"You...ah..." Hermione shook her head. She could see that the three of them were joking.

"Ahem..." Lupin coughed awkwardly, "Forgive me, I haven't been getting enough sleep these days - you guys can chat freely, I'm just taking up a place to sleep..."

He pulled two earbuds out of his pocket and put them on, looking like he really didn't want to disturb them.

However, Harry and the others waited for more than ten minutes before they began to chat quietly, because they noticed that Lupin's breathing began to become slow - this is what a sleeping person should be like.

"What class will he teach?" Ron glanced at the sleeping Lupin.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts," Cohen said. "Because Professor von Braun resigned, I ran into him at Castle Kumberg during the summer break. He's now an Inquisitor."

"What are you doing at Castle Combe?" Ron asked curiously. "There don't seem to be any wizards there..."

"There's a wizard living there, my grandmother, Harry knows that." Cohen said to Harry, "Mr. Frondo talked to Harry about it during the summer vacation."

"Mr. Frondo is a cat," Harry explained to Ron and Hermione. "Like the Count, he can talk. Although talking cats are rare, after meeting the Count, it doesn't seem so surprising..."

"Did Coin bring Mr. Frondo with him?" Hermione asked curiously, "I want to introduce Crookshanks to him—"

"Don't mention that stupid cat of yours," Ron said angrily. "It nearly ripped my clothes last time, and Scabbers was almost scared bald by it!"

"I've locked it up!" said Hermione. "It's natural for cats to catch mice. I can only control its range of activities, not its thoughts!"

"The Earl wouldn't have scratched Scabbers," said Ron. "You should get a tamer, more normal cat."

"Mr. Frondo is at my house now and I don't bring him to school," Cohen said. "My mom thinks he's cute and he sounds great."

"Mr. Norton doesn't seem to like the cat very much," Harry chuckled. "These past two summers have been the best I've ever had in my life—even though July wasn't very good."

The topics were all optimistic up to this point, but when they got to talking about Sirius Black, the atmosphere in the air became tense and uneasy.

"Before leaving, Mr. Norton repeatedly told me not to look for Sirius Black..." Harry said with some confusion.

"Oh! I remember now, my dad also told me to keep an eye on you before we got in the car—" Ron thought suddenly, "He said he must stop you from running around after Sirius this year."

"Why do you think I'd go looking for a murderer?" Harry shook his head. "I won't go looking for trouble..."

"It's hard to back that up with your resume," Cohen said, raising his eyebrows. "You spent two years in trouble—and Mr. Weasley must have made a mistake. Ron won't keep an eye on Harry at all."

"I will!" Ron retorted.

"You'll get into trouble with him," Hermione said helplessly, "and then the four of us will break the school rules together again."

Harry currently has no motivation to find Sirius, but that changes when he learns the false news that "Sirius betrayed James and Lily."

Their conversation then shifted from fugitive murderers to Hogsmeade, but Harry was not given permission to go there - the Dursleys would not sign the permission form, and there was nothing the Nortons could do about it as they were not Harry's guardians.

"Maybe this will be safer..." Hermione comforted, "At least we won't be attacked by Sirius Black in the castle..."

"Or ask Fred and George?" said Ron. "They know lots of secret passages leading out of the castle—" "Ron!" snapped Hermione. "Black hasn't been caught yet, and I don't think Harry should be sneaking—"

"It's simple. We just need to catch him first." Cohen said, "Noble is already an adult..."

"You'll be doomed if the outside world knows that you raised Norbert." Hermione glanced at Professor Lupin's position worriedly without saying the word "dragon".

Around four or five in the afternoon.

As the train approached the station, the sound of rain outside gradually grew louder, and the gray-black rain curtain covered the windows, making it almost impossible to see anything outside.

The train clunked to a stop, and there was a clanging of metal in the aisle. Coin heard the voice of his mind - he had heard it before in Azkaban, and many Dementors were floating outside the train.

You're locked up...

A Dementor sensed Cohen's location and lay at the window, knocking on it.

[To save you...]

The Dementors seem to have been misunderstood...

Cohen was thinking about how to explain to the Dementors later that this iron box was not his cell.

[Is the escaped food also here...]

In addition to the Dementors who changed their target after discovering Cohen, other Dementors are still looking for Sirius Black.

"What the hell!" Ron looked in horror at the thin, rotten human hand on the dark window, which was still knocking.

Snapped!
Suddenly, with an inexplicable sound, all the lights on the train went out.

"It seems like someone is getting on the train..." Ron said fearfully, "I heard the train door open -"

The next second, their compartment was opened, but the people who came in seemed to be from other compartments.

thump--

The person who came in fell down.

"Ouch—I'm sorry! Do you know what happened? Why did it suddenly go dark—"

"Neville?" Harry asked.

"Harry? Is that you? What happened?"

"I don't know," said Hermione. "Just sit down—it's a bit of a mess—I'll go get the driver—"

Hermione made way and tried to go out in the dark.

"who is it?"

"Who!"

"Ginny? What are you doing here—"

"Because I can't see!" Ginny responded to Ron's voice. "What's wrong?"

"What kind of seat is soft——"

"Don't sit on me—who are you!" Cohen struggled. "Lumos!"

Cohen raised his wand, illuminating the box.

The person who had just sat on his lap was Seamus, Neville sat in Hermione's seat, and Ginny and Ron squeezed together.

"Be quiet..."

Lupin also woke up and soothed in a hoarse voice.
