Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 315 The Dementors Are Here!
"That's why people are terrified of Sirius' escape from Azkaban!"

Ron added.

But obviously other people can't get this point.

"Dementors guard Hogwarts! My God!"

"We're not Death Eaters of Azkaban..."

He kept complaining about it.

The train continued to drive north, and the sky gradually began to get dusty and dark.

(Crookshanks screams in the basket, and Hermione undoes the straps that restrain it with some distress)

"No, Hermione don't let it go!" Ron exclaimed.

It's a pity that it was too late, Crookshanks easily got out of the basket, stretched Kun's limbs hard, raised his tail high, flicked it, his spine reached, and the bones in the tail made a rattling sound.

"Hermione, you shouldn't have released this thing!"

After stretching, it let out a whimpering moan, then jumped up on Ron's seat, and slowly approached his lap. (Banban is trembling in his pocket)

"Go away." Ron yelled loudly, and he angrily chased away Crookshanks who was approaching.But then he looked carefully at Professor Lupine who was sleeping next to him.

"No, Ron, don't do this." Hermione was a little dissatisfied.

"I feel like that thing can understand us, and it's specially following Banban to get through it... Look where the two McGuffins have been... But that thing doesn't care at all..."

Ron was even more dissatisfied. He said with a stiff face, staring straight at Crookshanks, guarding against its surprise attack.

"Don't be silly, Ron! It's just a cat!"

"It's been imprisoned in the Magic Zoo pet store for about several years, and no one has bought it. It's a poor kitten!"

"Is it? Is it!"

Hermione picked up the cat owner, buried her face in the hair, and sucked hard.

Hermione, who had obviously become a shit-shoveling officer, didn't react at all to Ron's anger.

"Nobody bought it, and that's no surprise at all!"

Ron said strangely, and then carefully put Banban into the inner pocket of his jacket.

McGuffin's face twitched, he opened his mouth to speak, but he had nothing to say.

He watched with his own eyes Ron put the old guy Peter Pettigrew into his 'chest' with a look of 'love' and 'pity'!
——I don't know if Ron will have a psychological shadow after learning the truth in the future.

After this incident, perhaps because of Ron and Hermione's awkwardness, or because of Professor Lupine in front of him, the atmosphere in the entire carriage became silent and stagnant.

No one spoke, only the clanging of the train and the rails outside the window, the rattling of the train, the whistling of the wind, or the occasional moan of Crookshanks.

Hermione dug out a thick "Dictionary of Commonly Used Ancient Magic Word Pronunciation"... and flipped through it page by page.

Ron, on the other hand, was careful to watch out for Crookshanks who went around in the carriage and finally rested on the upper part of the luggage rack.

Occasionally he looked out the window—the train was speeding northward, and the scenery outside the window was getting more and more rural.Muggle artifacts, those telephone poles, roads, churches, and asphalt roads began to be gradually replaced by cattle, sheep and horses, and continuous mountains and grasslands.

Harry opened his suitcase, and took out the [Broomstick Repair Kit] Hermione gave him and his [Nimbus 2000]... and began to trim carefully.

The scissors shone with silver light, making a subtle sound of gacha gacha.

The tail of the broom of 'Nimbus 2000' is cut into a perfect arc shape a little bit.

Harry took out a little [Fleetwood] brand polish from a small round box similar to cosmetics, and took a velvet black cloth towel and began to rub it slowly until it shone brightly.

McGuffin was staring at Professor Lupine sleeping with his clothes half-hidden.Thinking about things related to him in his heart, let's see how to arrange this werewolf in the next year to make the plot go smoothly and prevent him from discovering the true identity of Peter Pettigrew.

Since Sirius Black can see Peter Pettigrew at a glance, then Lupine must be able to discover Peter's 'truth'.

This is why Scabbers (Peter) has been hiding in Ron's pocket and trembling.

In the following Hogwarts study life, once Lupine directly saw the mouse appearance of Pettigrew Peter.

Even if he didn't remember it at the time, it is estimated that after Sirius broke into the school a few times, Lupine must have remembered who Scabbers was.
— Scabbers, Peter Pettigrew, spit!
Shir!
If this is the case, after the plot collapses directly, McGuffin can only see if Voldemort has found [Nagia].

MD!

McGuffin's liver hurts at the thought of this possibility.

But fortunately, Peter Pettigrew has been hiding for so many years, and it is not in vain.

In the original plot, he simply feigned death and escaped, and put the charges on him and Crookshanks.

——The plot must develop smoothly.

McGuffin firmly thought that even the year would make the plot go well.

He must maximize his strength this semester, at least by this time next year [Riddle Mansion] can directly and easily defeat this dwarf, and be able to protect Voldemort's black magic.

Although according to the description in the plot, Voldemort was extremely weak at the time, and could only rely on [Nagia] to protect himself.

But just in case anyway, it's better to be careful.

The train was running fast, and at one o'clock, the fat witch opened the door and pushed the food cart to their compartment.

"What do you want!"

Harry bought a lot of things, on the one hand to dissolve the stiff and stagnant atmosphere in the carriage, on the other hand, he said it was to thank them for the birthday party they had arranged.

Ron looked at Professor Lupine and asked awkwardly if he should be woken up, but the fat witch said directly that she was in the compartment of the train head compartment, and if the professor woke up, she could go there to find her.

They were careful, biting the food slowly, talking quietly, trying not to make a sound.

But it's hard, especially when eating some kind of 'crackling electric spark shortbread', which makes some kind of little electric spark strike explosion sound in their mouth.

Sharing food can indeed relax people and resolve each other's opposition.

Talking about food, Ron naturally talked about Hogsmeade Village and the [Honeydukes] candy shop there.

"It's a candy store, there's everything there...Pepper Naughty Boy, his mouth creaked and numb after eating it, and puffs of smoke came out of his throat--there are also creamy chocolate balls, which are wrapped in various fruit custards, such as strawberries, watermelon, and lemons, which will burst and explode when you touch them lightly, and the cream will flow in your mouth... Sandwich chocolate bars, each layer is a mixture of various flavors of cream, fruit, and sugar juice. It is equivalent to multi-flavored beans, but it's not that strange. "

"Best of all is the butterbeer from [The Three Broomsticks]..."

Ron talked dreamily, "One sip can make you completely forget your troubles. It is the most suitable drink to warm your body in the cold winter..."

"Unfortunately, I just heard from Bill and the others that my parents always said that I was only allowed to go there after the third grade..."

"Harry, and the [Three Broomsticks Bar] is where the earliest Quidditch club in Britain was established. Although that club has disappeared now, you can still see the players of the British Quidditch team going there to drink and party from time to time. If we are lucky, we can even go there to participate in a live party among fans...listen to the radio directly... and celebrate a live Quidditch match with them."

Ron's description made Harry swallow his saliva.

"It is said that Hogwarts students have met players from the Charlie Cannon Quidditch team!"

Ron screamed excitedly, almost like a little fan who met an idol.

This made Professor Lupine move.

Ron immediately froze, but the professor just pulled up his clothes, changed his position again, moved his numb head, and went back to sleep.

After several people confirmed that Professor Lupine was asleep, they started discussing again.

"Hogwards Wizarding Village is said to have a long history and is the only village in England that is entirely populated by wizards. It was founded by Hengis of Woodcroft. There are many shops and bars on both sides of the street. The screaming shacks there are said to have ghosts that are completely different from those harmless ghosts in Hogwarts... According to the records of the Hogwarts school library "Wizard Monuments", it is also the headquarters of the Goblin Rebellion in 1612."

Hermione quickly uttered a slew of words that looked like they had been memorized from a book.

This made Ron roll his eyes, and the two began to talk about each other, "The candy shop is run by Ambrosio Froome, a broad, bald man...Even George and Fred liked that wizard very much. They also said that they once tasted a huge ice cream ball, which when you licked it, floated several meters off the ground..."

"By the way, most of the candies sold by the fat witch that Harry just passed came from [Honeydukes] magic shop, but the beauty of these things is less than one percent of that shop..."

McGuffin and Harry were drowsy amidst their low-pitched, arguing babble.

Although McGuffin tried his best to support his eyelids, he waited for the arrival of the [Dementor] incident.

But it's obvious... this deliberately low repetitive voice and the swaying of the train are excellent 'hypnotics'.

After a while, his head began to tickle.

……

The train crossed snow-capped mountains and tunnels, and the closer it got to Hogwarts, the more gloomy and sultry the weather became.

Compared with the usual time in September, it is really hot to take this train in August.

A weak cold wind began to blow from the top of the train carriage, that is, where the luggage rack was.

Makes the air slightly cool.

Gradually, Ron and Hermione stopped arguing about [Hogward Wizarding Village].

They squinted their eyes, sleepiness couldn't stop coming to their hearts.

Crookshanks lightly fell down from the luggage rack and nestled in the empty seat next to Ron. In the dim compartment, its bright green eyes remained motionless, staring at Ron's inner pocket.

As if waiting for Ron to lose his hold and finally fall asleep.

And that's it... until...

The train suddenly jolted and stopped suddenly (in fact, the front had already started to slow down slowly, but the McGuffins didn't notice it), and there was a muffled bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang in the distance, as if luggage from other carriages fell from the sky.

"What's the matter, are you here?" Ron yawned and stood up, but was stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Who?"

"Is it you? Hermione! Or a MacGuffin!"

Although it was still night, due to the gloomy sky, the inside and outside of the train had been plunged into darkness, with few rays of light to be seen.

Ron naturally couldn't tell who was with whom.

"it's me!"

But then a hoarse and unfamiliar voice said.

"You stepped on my foot!

"Professor!" Ron took a breath and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I... didn't see..."

There was a short, harsh sound of creaking outside.

There was a rattling-slamming sound of sliding the door in the corridor, and the noisy voice Percina's pretentious voice 'woke up' together, and it seemed very chaotic for a while.

"Are we there yet?" Harry had just woken up, hadn't figured out the situation yet, and was groping around to find the glasses he had just dropped beside him.

"Ouch!"

"What's wrong, Harry!" Hermione asked eagerly.

"It's okay, I accidentally caught Crookshanks' tail, and it scratched my paw."

"You wait here! Stay where you are." Professor Lupine stood up, (it was only then that Harry realized that the professor had woken up).

The professor flipped his palm, and a blue ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball floated in his hand. (Luminescence spell)
The light illuminated his tired, gray features, but his eyes were wary and piercing.

He opened the door and went out, then closed the door.

The light disappeared into the compartment again.

Ron immediately lay down by the window of the car and tried to wipe a place clean, wanting to see what happened.

"See what?" Harry asked.

"I can't see anything...it's like a white fog..." Ron said hesitantly. (There are some lights shining outside the train)

Hermione struggled to find where her wand was, and she wanted to cast a [Luminescent Charm] to illuminate it.

But obviously she had argued with Ron for reading, and the wand she had left was nowhere to be found.

And now it's very difficult to find it again in this situation, just like Harry's glasses...

At this time, the door of the carriage was opened again.

Immediately afterwards, Neville, Ginny, Luna, and Colin all poured into the narrow compartment, and it was packed to the brim... From time to time, Crookshanks' screams, Hermione's anxious shouts, and Colin's harassment of Harry could be heard.

"Who?"

"It's me, Ron, I'm Neville!"

"elder brother?"

"Ginny?"

"Yes, Luna and I!"

"Crookshanks,... Ron? Harry? Has any of you seen my cat, and where's the wand..."

"Colin don't touch me!!!"

"Ah, sorry, I'm looking for a seat..."

In the dark, there was chaos in the carriage!
