HP Star Shining

"Quiet." A hoarse voice sounded, and no one in the car spoke anymore.

Su Xingchen looked across in surprise, although she could not see anything.

Professor Lupin is awake? Didn't he wake up after the Dementors attacked Harry?

Well, it was completely different from what she knew.

There were only four people in the movie, but now there was a whole crowd of people in the train. Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem so scary.

With a slight pop, a flickering light illuminated the compartment.

It wasn't "Lumos," it was as if Professor Lupin was holding a torch in his hand, the flame shining on his slightly tired face and alert eyes.

"Stay still." The voice was still hoarse, and then Professor Lupin slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

Before he could reach the door, the sliding door opened again.

In the dim light of the flame, the people in the carriage saw a figure wearing a black cloak standing at the door.

It was so tall and massive that it almost touched the ceiling, its face completely hidden beneath its hood.

A hand peeked out from under the cloak, a ghostly grayish-white gleam, covered in slime and spots, like something rotting in water, except it was shriveled.

This guy... looks exactly like Su Xingchen's idea of ​​a ghost.

The Dementor took a long breath into the air, a gurgling sound coming from his throat, and a biting chill instantly swept through the carriage.

Su Xingchen felt like she couldn't breathe. She had just held her breath out of nervousness, but it was a completely different feeling. It felt like someone was strangling her throat, and the coldness seeped into her skin and invaded her blood.

With a "bang", something seemed to fall to the ground.

A silver light shot towards the door. It was Professor Lupin who cast a spell to drive away the Dementors.

The feeling of suffocation disappeared, Su Xingchen covered her chest and gasped, she was alive.

The lights in the carriage came back on, the floor vibrated slightly, and the train started again.

Everyone realized that the sound just now was made by Harry. He was unconscious and slid off his seat to the ground.

"Harry, Harry, are you okay?" Ron patted Harry's face nervously and it took him a while to wake him up.

Harry felt very uncomfortable. He adjusted his glasses and felt that his face was covered with cold sweat. Neville and Ron helped him back to his seat.

"Eat it, you'll feel much better." Professor Lupin broke off a large piece of chocolate and handed it to him. Harry took it but didn't eat it.

He looked around the carriage. Ginny and Neville looked very pale. Su Xingchen was not in good condition either. She was huddled in a corner and breathing heavily. However, she was always timid. Hermione and Ron seemed to be almost fine.

Only he was unconscious.

"What's that?" asked Harry.

"Dementors." After distributing the chocolates to everyone, Professor Lupin stuffed the package into his pocket. "The guards of Azkaban."

Except for Su Xingchen, everyone stared at him in surprise.

"Excuse me, I have to go talk to the driver," said Professor Lupin, and disappeared into the corridor.

"Did you hear any screaming?" Harry asked everyone while munching on the chocolate in his hand.

"Harry, are you really okay?" Hermione looked at him worriedly, "We didn't hear any screaming."

Harry wiped the cold sweat from his face and stopped talking.

He didn't understand. He felt weak and trembling all over. Why was he the only one like this? Even the most timid Xingchen didn't faint like him.

As if affected by something, everyone spoke very little during the rest of the trip.

Finally, the train stopped. The small platform was freezing cold, and the bone-chilling cold rain poured down.

It was awful bad weather.

Every time Su Xingchen returned to Hogwarts on the first day, he felt cold, much colder than other places.

"First-year students, come this way." A familiar voice sounded, and the familiar words seemed to make people's memories jump back to two years ago.

Hagrid's tall figure stood at the other end of the platform, waving at them, then beckoning the bewildered first-year students to come closer and leading them across the lake into Hogwarts in the traditional way.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Su Xingchen walked to the other side of the platform and followed most of the students to a muddy path where hundreds of automatically moving carriages were waiting.

Of course, it was pulled by a horse, but no one could see it.

Su Xingchen once tried to reach out and pat the air in front of the carriage, and then, she really patted the air.

Well, out of sight, out of touch. Makes sense.

When they were about to get on the carriage, Draco called Su Xingchen and invited her to get in their carriage.

Harry frowned, feeling more and more that Malfoy was really lingering and his presence was getting worse.

This time, before Ron could explode, Su Xingchen shook her head. Harry didn't look well, so it would be better for her not to go over there at this time.

Draco's eyes flashed with disappointment, and when he caught a glimpse of the gloating expression on Harry's face, his expression instantly became arrogant. "I heard you fainted, Potter? Is what Longbottom said true?"

"Get out of the way, Malfoy." Ron glared at him through clenched teeth.

"Did you faint too, Weasley?" Draco demanded. "Did that Dementor scare you too?"

"Come to think of it, I was the one who was really scared." Su Xingchen quickly interrupted, "I almost thought I was going to die. So, I have to wait two days before I can listen to those interesting stories of yours."

Draco looked at Su Xingchen for a while, turned around without saying a word, and took Goyle and Black to the carriage next to him.

Oh... Su Xingchen held his forehead, feeling that the young master was angry again.

Life is so hard. What interesting thing could he have that he couldn't wait to share with her? Could he wait for her to find a chance to listen to him fully?

Hermione poked Ron on the back, signaling him to get in quickly. After everyone was seated, the carriage drove towards Hogwarts.

Pass through the magnificent oak door, enter the deep foyer, walk up the magnificent marble staircase, and step into the spacious auditorium. Today's magical ceiling is a dark and cloudy sky.

It's... quite appropriate.

Just as the four of them were about to sit down, they heard a voice shout, "Potter, Granger, I want to see you both!"

Harry and Hermione turned around in surprise. Professor McGonagall, Su Xingchen's favorite and Harry's most feared professor, was shouting at them across a crowd of people's heads.

Every time he met her, Harry felt like he had done something wrong.

Ron stared with wide eyes at Professor McGonagall leading Harry and Hermione away from the laughing crowd, then turned to Su Xingchen who was sitting peacefully, "What happened to them?"

"I don't know." Su Xingchen calmly poured a glass of pumpkin juice, took a sip, and frowned slightly.

She really didn't know, and it shouldn't matter anyway.

Oh, I miss Aqui’s first day.
