After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

"By the way, Draco and Harry, be careful when you return to school." Lucius thought of the news he had received, his brows gloomy.

Narcissa knew why Lucius looked so pale, so she patted the back of Lucius's hand soothingly and gave Draco and Harry some instructions in a gentle voice.

"I heard that some of the prisoners in Azkaban have escaped, and they should be coming for Harry." She emphasized the word "part", and both Regulus and Sirius understood what she meant.

Draco and Harry looked thoughtful.

Because of Draco's high profile, Fudge seemed to have sensed something. He usually treated Lucius with great flattery, but now he kept testing him.

He probably also sensed the impending storm from the Saints' big moves.

After all, no matter how useless he was, he was still the Minister of Magic in the United Kingdom. He still had some political sense.

However, Fudge is a self-protective person with a strong desire for power. When he feels that his position is about to be threatened, he falls into persecution delusion and begins to show his insidious and aggressive side.

His poor acting and snooping could not escape Lucius's eyes.

The reason why Fudge hasn't been forced to step down yet is just a deception. Everything is for Voldemort to see. The Ministry of Magic has already replaced them with their people without making a sound.

Hmm, without Sirius, will there be other Death Eaters? Draco pondered for a moment and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Doesn't that mean Fudge will definitely send the Dementors? His material!

Last time he discovered that the American Grim Reaper and Dementors seemed to be somewhat similar, and he wanted to study them, but the few he had secretly captured last time were all consumed by him.

Lucius, Narcissa, Harry and Snape had all seen the HP movie, so they naturally remembered what would happen next. However, the plot had been changed beyond recognition, and no one could guarantee that everything would develop in the original direction.

There is no doubt that the Death Eaters' escape was definitely done by Voldemort.

Barty Crouch Jr. and Peter Pettigrew had already been dealt with by them...The only candidate this time was...Bellatrix.

Lucius held Narcissa's hand in his, feeling a little worried.

Narcissa felt good, surprisingly calm.

Bella is no longer Bella.

Even if they meet, she will show no mercy.

Narcissa thought of the message Grindelwald had sent her and opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

Although that was part of their plan, it was also a good thing for the children to have fun.

Even though it's much earlier than expected, I believe Draco and Harry will understand it the first time they see it.

The reason for not telling them...is it just an occasional prank by adults? She thought Molly probably didn't tell them either.

She really wanted to see the expressions of the two children to see if they could still be as calm as usual.

In the previous dreams, except for Harry, Draco basically asked Ian to gradually fade the memory in the minds of other people and then make the memory disappear.

He could die a thousand times, but he really couldn't accept social death.

Harry had somehow integrated that memory, and Draco felt it was Merlin's doing, for no reason, simply because he was the most careless.

On the first day of school, Sirius insisted on sending them here, if for no other reason than to see his old friend.

However, Regulus felt that Sirius would always make the situation look bad, so he did not let him go. However, the third graders could go to Hogsmeade, and Sirius could wait for Lupin there.

Only students in third grade and above can go there on certain Saturdays, and they must have the signed permission of their guardian.

Draco had been curious about Hogsmeade for a long time, but he had never had the time. Besides, wouldn't it be more fun to go there openly than sneaking around?

I heard from my mom and dad that Hogsmeade is the only village in Britain that is populated entirely by wizards and has no Muggles.

It is a very unique and beautiful little village filled with cottages and shops that have thatched roofs.

During every holiday season, the trees in the village are hung with enchanted candles.

Lucius and Natasha also told them about some of the shops inside, and the details were so detailed that it seemed like they were making a travel guide for them.

For example, Devis and Bans shops sell various magical equipment, as well as tools for repairs;

There is also the largest chain of wizard clothing stores, Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, which has branches in London and Paris;

Honeydukes Candy Shop, filled with all kinds of sweet candies and a big hit among students;

Mrs. Puddifoot’s Tea House is perfect for a date;

Post Office...Literati's Quill Pen Shop...Zokko's Magical Joke Shop...Pig's Head Bar...

The Three Broomsticks is a small pub often visited by Hogwarts students.

It was a warm, cozy place to get butterbeer, though they also served lemonade, mulled mead, red wine, and even cherry juice and soda water on the rocks with an umbrella.

Oh, and there's the Shrieking Shack.

The Shrieking Shack has always been falsely rumored to be "the most haunted place in Britain", but it is still a must-see attraction for all Hogwarts students visiting Hogsmeade.

But Draco and Harry knew that the Shrieking Shack was not haunted.

It was built specifically for Remus Lupin when he was a student at Hogwarts, so that he could transform into a werewolf here during the full moon and stay away from the students.

However, the villagers of Hogsmeade have always believed that it is haunted, and no one dared to set foot there after Remus Lupin graduated.

The Shrieking Shack cannot be entered from the outside. There is only a secret passage leading to the inside, and that secret passage is under the roots of the Whomping Willow, which was planted specifically to protect this secret passage.

However, Remus Lupin can already ensure that he will not lose his mind when transforming. Compared to the Shrieking Shack, the Room of Requirement is more comfortable no matter how you look at it.

I wonder if the Screaming Shack will be open? Actually, it would be a great idea to open it to the public as a haunted house.

Then go on an adventure with friends.

He knows a lot of scary things, so he will ask Karasuma Renya to give some advice when the time comes, and he will definitely give the young wizards of Hogwarts a great experience!

So, should we set up a magic-banning circle? After all, when a person's mind is blank and they're frightened, it's really easy for them to attack and hurt others...

Draco let Harry pull him to his seat, while he was thinking about whether he should talk to Dumbledore about this excellent idea.

The Hogwarts Express has been given a brand new look this year, and the compartments are much more spacious. Out of selfish motives, when Lucius updated the Hogwarts Express, he also built an exclusive compartment for the Malfoy family at the front, which can easily accommodate more than 10 people.

Ron and the others naturally knew that Lucius had used his money to transform the Hogwarts Express, but they still couldn't help but exclaim when they saw it.

Although the outside has only been renovated, the inside has undergone a drastic change. The space is more than twice as spacious, and the facilities are very comfortable at first glance.

Hermione knew it was a traceless extension charm.

When they entered the box, everyone felt that the outside was far inferior to the inside. It was no exaggeration to say that the inside was like the Malfoy family's living room.

"Mais, Mais..." Ron leaned on Blaise's shoulder with a dull look. The strong sense of luxury made his eyes seem to turn into the shape of money.

Blaise's eyes flashed with a smile, thinking Ron was really cute. He reached out and closed Ron's eyes. "Good night, dear."

His expression was grave, without the slightest trace of acting.

"No... no, I want to see you again..." Ron was instantly possessed by his acting spirit, and fell into Blaise's arms with a weak look as if he was about to die, touching Blaise's face with trembling hands.

"Promise me... don't treat me as Pansy's substitute anymore... I'm Luo, Luo..." Ron's voice trembled, and at the end of his words, his hands fell down weakly.

"No!" Blaise buried his head in Ron's neck heartbrokenly, his whole body trembling.

In fact, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"Ah? Me?" Pansy was caught off guard and pointed at herself with a confused look on her face.

Pansy was enjoying the show, but she ended up becoming a stand-in for some unknown reason. No, it was Ron who became her stand-in.

"Hahahahahaha." Everyone couldn't help laughing, and for a moment the air was filled with joy.

"It's snowing?" Neville suddenly glanced at the window and saw that there seemed to be a thick layer of frost, but strangely, he didn't feel cold in the box.

It was the Dementors, Draco and Harry realized quickly.

But... Draco couldn't help but frown. This train had been modified too well, right? Even the Dementors couldn't get in. How could he get materials like this?

Maybe opening the window would be okay, but would anyone really open it to let in the fresh air in this cold weather? Draco doubted it.

"Pah--" A rotten palm slammed heavily on the window, and a black shadow slowly became clear.

It was covered in a cloak, and its entire body looked as if it had been soaked in water, with scabby hands and a rotting, decaying body. It also had no facial features, and a hole where its mouth should be.

"Dementors." Pansy frowned and looked at the dark shadow outside the window with disgust.

"Dementors can suck away people's happy memories. They absorb people's happiness through their sense of smell. Only the Patronus Charm can expel them. It is not clear if there is any way to eliminate them." Hermione and the others had learned this knowledge.

Dementors can only recognize human emotions and cannot recognize other animals because their emotions are very confused, so they can only hurt humans. Their numbers have grown to an extremely high number because they feed on people's happiness without restraint.

"Hermione, Neville, Ron, Harry, go check the situation in each compartment. It can't get in without opening the window, but just in case, you still need to tell the classmates carefully."

"George, Fred, Pansy, Blaise, Theodore, Cedric, take the chocolates and distribute them to each workshop. Although there are car windows, the compartments outside should not be as well protected as we are inside."

Draco methodically asked his friends to go out and help, after all, there were many prefects here.

"By the way, if there is no problem, you can practice with the Dementors outside the window. I think we will be seeing these guys for a long time." Everyone understood what Draco was hinting at, and even Neville, who didn't quite understand, didn't ask any more questions.

After everyone left, Draco couldn't help but laugh happily, which made more and more Dementors appear outside his car window.

That's right, that's it.

Draco looked at the large group of excellent materials outside the window with satisfaction, and then without hesitation used magic to net them and stuffed them into the space.

Dementors are attracted to happy emotions. The closer they get to Draco, the happier Draco becomes. After all, who wouldn't like experimental materials delivered to their doorstep?

The Hogwarts Express did not seem to stop, and there was no damage due to the appearance of the Dementors. Instead, after the scare, the students began to eagerly test their own Patronus Charms through the windows.

This made Fudge very depressed, as he originally intended to give Dumbledore and Lucius Narcissa behind Draco a warning.

He brought people from the Ministry of Magic to wait for the train to arrive at the terminal, thinking that they would receive a group of poor little people, and then he would descend from the sky like a god and receive the admiration of these students. However, he did not expect that what was waiting for him was a train full of laughter and dejected Dementors.

The Dementors were forced to follow the train due to orders, but the students used the Patronus Charm against them. They wanted to escape but could not move because of the orders.

Brushed by the Patronus Charm, they shrank several times.

It's so painful, the car is full of joy but it has nothing to do with them...

Except for some from Muggle families, most of the young wizards in the wizarding world had some speculations about what happened today, not to mention Fudge who had an expression that said, "How can you be okay?"

Even if they didn't know, their companions explained the so-called minister and the Malfoy family's big moves to them, and they roughly understood the whole story.

Fudge tried to show some concern for the students, but no one wanted to pay attention to him. They ignored him and walked back and forth to school, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Draco glanced back at Fudge's flushed face and shook his head.

The most taboo thing for those in power is to show their joy on their faces. Fudge should really thank Dumbledore and Voldemort for being the Minister of Magic for so long.

Many people didn't make things difficult for him because of Dumbledore, but Fudge obviously didn't think so after he became more open-minded.

And there is Voldemort. If it weren't for Voldemort, the current Minister of Magic should be Barty Crouch instead of Fudge.

He didn't pay too much attention to Fudge, but looked at Hogwarts not far away thoughtfully.

The process of starting school has not changed: separation into different houses - dinner - speech by the principal.

"...Next, I have two very important things to tell you all." After Dumbledore's long speech, his face suddenly became serious and his tone changed. The hall unconsciously became quiet and everyone's eyes were focused on Dumbledore.
