Together [HP]
Chapter 99 Dementors
For the rest of the time, Jacquelin lived very quietly. They went to the roller coaster, played a few small games, won a few ugly, weird little dolls, and Jacqueline threw all these prizes to Hermione up.The only conversation they have is at lunch.
While Jacqueline was eating a hamburger, a plate of chicken wings, and an order of chips, and getting up to get some cheesecake, Hermione exploded.
"Do you have to eat so much?" Hermione asked slightly dissatisfied when they were queuing up.
"I'm hungry." Jacqueline nodded. "Going on a roller coaster is exhausting. Maybe," she looked up at the menu, "have another hot dog, what do you want? I can treat you." Hermione just snorted and turned away.
"How are you doing?" Hermione was exhausted when Medivh came to pick them up at five o'clock in the evening.
"Pretty good," Jacqueline replied, eating a huge chocolate sundae.
"It's very interesting!" Hermione sat on the back seat and replied weakly.
"I've prepared some snacks for you." Medivh smiled at Hermione through the reversing mirror, "Miss Jacqueline, it's in the storage cabinet in front of you, can you help me get it?"
"Of course." Jacquilin opened the storage box, and there were chocolate frogs and cauldron pies, as well as Muggle potato chips and chocolate bars in it.Jacquelin looked at each of them carefully, and then handed them all to Hermione.
"Thank you, Grandpa Medivh." Hermione said, glaring at Jacquiline, "especially your tip about castle exploration."
"So both ladies have passed."
"I heard Harris' name inside." Jacquelin added a mouthful of ice cream, "Isn't this castle adventure based on history?"
"The fire that destroyed Frost Castle was indeed set by Harris' ancestors, if Miss Jacqueline is referring to this." Medivh nodded, "According to what Harris has passed down from generation to generation, a pair of Harris' brothers After finding out the whereabouts of Frost, he sneaked into the castle, rescued the prisoners before he was about to attack the prisoners, and burned the castle. However, their behavior was detected by the religion and attracted the attention of the Pope, and later Harry The Harris family retreated into the wizarding world. In order to let their descendants remember the past of their ancestors, the Harris family built this playground."
"As expected of Gryffindor." Jacquilin nodded, and took out a chocolate bar from the storage cabinet. "It says chocolate, so, it's sweet, right?"
"Are you hungry again?" Hermione snorted. "I think they're very brave! Not like Slytherins!"
"I just wanted to try it." Jacquelin shrugged and tore open the package. "Harris is indeed a Gryffindor for almost all generations."
"It seems that their courage was not passed on to you." Hermione choked.
The car fell silent except for the sound of Jacqueline chewing a chocolate bar.
"What happened, Miss Jacqueline." After sending Hermione home, Medivh asked softly, "If you don't want to say..."
"I'm a Slytherin, she's a Gryffindor." Jacquiline pursed her lips, "That's it."
"If I may," Medivh smiled slightly, "your mother is a Slytherin too."
"I guess my parents are an exception," said Jacqueline, "otherwise Graham wouldn't be called a Slytherin freak."
The next day, Jacqueline returned to the Grahams' house under the watchful eyes of the Harris family.
The day after she got home, she received a letter from Hogwarts that was much thicker than usual.
"Dear Miss Graham: Please note that the new school year will begin on September 9st. The Hogwarts Express will leave King's Cross Station at 4 3/[-] at eleven o'clock. On certain weekends, three Year students are granted permission to visit Hogsmeade. Please give the enclosed consent form to your parent or guardian to sign. Enclosed is the school year's book list. Your loyal Vice-Headmaster Professor McGonagall." Jagui While eating breakfast, Lin read, she took out the consent form of Hogwarts school and pushed it to Yuna who was opposite.
"It's the first time I know that I need permission to go there." Jacqueline complained dissatisfiedly, "I don't see how it is more interesting than ours."
"We don't welcome others to come and visit." Yuna put down the newspaper in her hand and signed the consent form. "Next semester, the school will be in danger."
"For the two years I've been in school," Jacquiline pouted, "every year is dangerous." She said and turned the envelope to the second page, which said the textbooks she needed.
"Do I need to buy every book, Professor Graham?" Jacquelin asked after turning the letter back two pages.
"There are books on ancient runes at home." Yuna put down the newspaper in her hand, "You also need a schoolbag that can hold these books."
"Great!" Jacquilin picked up a pen and ticked the back of the ancient rune. "Does this mean that I can learn the Untraceable Stretching Curse?"
"Do you know that someone escaped from Azkaban?" Yuna didn't answer her question, but Jaquiline felt that the answer must be yes.
"Isn't that why Godfather Sean ended his vacation early?"
"Do you know who escaped from prison?"
Jaquilin shook her head, and Yuna put the newspaper in front of her.The front page featured a thin man with a sunken face and long hair all tangled together.
"Who is this?" Jacqueline asked.
"Sirius Black."
"The man who blew up a street, killed thirteen Muggles, and Peter Pettigrew?" Jacquelin touched his nose. "Is he going to deal with Harry? But why did it take so long?"
"One of them blew up that street." Yuna's eldest brother Raymond floated in, "No one saw Black do it, they only believed that Black was alive because Peter disappeared A murderer."
"Could it be that there is something hidden in this?" Jacquilin's attention was immediately attracted, "Could it be that Peter actually did it, and then he used the phantom to escape? But it's not right," Jacquilin said. Immediately denied, "Didn't they find a finger that belonged to Peter? If he Apparated, there's no reason his finger would stay there."
"I'm just telling the truth." Raymond glanced at the table, "You took all the electives?"
"I didn't know which one to take," Jacqueline said, "so I decided to take both and see which one to drop."
"Prophecy." Raymond snorted, "This class is time-consuming, and it's still talking about it."
"Jacqueline can make her own choice." Yuna looked up at Raymond, "Right?"
Raymond shrugged and floated into the courtyard.
"Can I take you to Diagon Alley for shopping tomorrow, or did you invite your friends?"
"Pansy is traveling now and won't be back until school starts. Hermione..." Jacqueline paused, "No, I don't have any friends."
Yuna glanced at her and continued flipping through the newspaper.
Diagon Alley was always full of people, or rather, wizards, but never so many.
The Quidditch boutique was crowded with people, but the window was empty, there was nothing, but a group of witches and wizards crowded there excitedly, as if they were waiting for something.Soon, the shopkeeper came over with a broom in his hand.It was the most astonishingly beautiful broom she had ever seen in her life.
"Just came out... a sample broom..." a square-jawed wizard told his companion.
"That's the fastest broom in the world, isn't it, Daddy?" screamed a boy younger than Jacqueline, dangling from his daddy's arm.
"The Irish International have just ordered seven of these beautiful brooms!" the shopkeeper said to everyone. "This product is the darling of the World Cup!"
Jacquelin waited until the wizards in front of her had left before she stepped forward and read the description next to the broom: Firebolt, this type of flying broom represents the highest level of craftsmanship at present. Streamlined and exquisite, it has been treated with a polish as hard as diamonds and has a registration number engraved by hand.Every broom twig at the end of this product has been screened for its streamlined perfection, so this product is unmatched in balance and precision.The Firebolt can accelerate to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, and its brakes are charming.Price negotiable. "
"The price is negotiable." Jacquelin laughed. "If Mr. Malfoy can sponsor brooms like the Slytherin house team, maybe we can win Gryffindor."
"This is indeed a good idea." Yuna nodded seriously, "But the Irish team thought they could win the championship with such a broom? How naive."
Jacqueline wisely chose to keep quiet.
Before going to the bookstore to buy Jacqueline's pile of books, they went to the stationery store and bought Jacqueline a new school bag.As long as she went back and cast a traceless stretching spell, she could put as many things as she wanted.
Jacquelin also wants to buy a pair of crystal balls, "With this, you can skip astronomy class." So said the advertisement.But it was rejected by Yuna.
"When you are free to spend your allowance, you can buy whatever you want."
"There are still two years left." Jacquiline said a little unwillingly, thinking about how to get her father to buy one for her.Then they went to the bookstore. To their surprise, what was usually displayed in the shop window was a spell book the size of floor tiles with gold embossing. Now this kind of book was gone, replaced by a large iron cage containing about a hundred books. <The Monster Book of Monsters>.Locked together, the books wrestled in a furious wrestling, belligerently biting and fighting, sending broken pages flying here and there.
They walked into the bookstore, and the manager hurried over to greet them.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Graham and Miss Graham. Is there anything I can do for you."
"I need it," Jacqueline pulled out the book list from his pocket, ""The Monster Book of Monsters", "Picking Through the Fog to See the Future"..." Jacqueline was going to continue, but Yuna interrupted her .
"All the books for the third grade." Yuna nodded towards the manager, "Everyone needs one, except for the ancient magic text class."
"Of course, of course." The manager said with some pain, "The Monster Book of Monsters..." He sighed, put on a pair of thick gloves, and picked up a thick, knotty The cane, walked to the iron cage containing <Monster Book of Monsters>, put the cane into a book, the book opened its mouth directly, and bit the cane.The manager quickly pulled out the cane and the book together.Frightened, he pinched the spine of the book with his gloved hand and handed it over.Jacqueline reached out to take it.The book suddenly opened its mouth and bit towards her, and Jacqueline quickly retracted his hand.Jacqueline turned sideways, staring at the book vigilantly, looking at her fingers with lingering fear.
"I suggest you tie it up with a rope." The manager said gloatingly.
Suddenly there was a loud tearing sound: two <Monster Books of Monsters> grabbed the third book and tore it apart together.
"Stop! Stop!" cried the manager, thrusting the cane between the bars, and opened the books. "I will never stockpile these books again, ever! It's a mess! We've moved two hundred <The Book of Invisibility> before, and I thought there was nothing worse about them...the books are good It's expensive, and we will never have..." He looked at the book lying quietly in Yuna's hand in surprise, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's worth collecting." Yuna said blankly, stuffing the book into Jacquelin's schoolbag.
"You, do you still need it?" Jacquilin felt that the manager probably still hadn't recovered.
"Except for the ancient rune, all the books required by the third grade." Yuna said with some displeasure.
"Of course, of course." The manager slapped his hands and led them around the bookstore, "I'm sure there are all books related to ancient runes in Graham's collection. Come, let me see, Transfiguration Class , spell class, prophecy class..." When the manager piled up the books almost a person's height in front of Jacquilin, Jacqueline swallowed in surprise.Thankfully, she went to buy a schoolbag first, otherwise these books would not fit all in Yuna's handbag.
"I think that's all." Yuna nodded, took out a money bag from her handbag, counted out a few gold Galleons and handed them to Jacqueline, and handed the money bag to the manager, "It's only enough for you Then go to replenish medicinal materials and owl food."
Jacquelin put the Galleon into his pocket with a bitter face, "Fortunately, it's only August, and I can still have a full meal on the Hogwarts Express."
"I'm pretty sure Norm will bring you a bunch of treats."
"It's a pity it can't fill my schoolbag."
"Then you won't be able to carry it on your back."
On the first day of school, James sent Jacquelin to platform 9 4/3 early.When they arrived, there was no one on the platform except a very old worker.
"I'm so sorry, my baby." He yawned, his face haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he had aged ten years suddenly. "It's not peaceful recently, even Hogwarts, it's terrible. I always hope that your mother can take you to school directly, after all, she also works there." He took out a pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at it "I have to go." He bent down and kissed Jacqueline's forehead. "I love you, baby."
He walked away in a hurry as he said, but he came back very quickly, "I was so busy that I lost my head." He knocked on his head, took out a large handful of Galleons from his pocket, and counted them. Without counting, he handed it directly to Jacquilin, "I'm not sure if I can buy you a gift this year, if not, just buy some for yourself, don't treat yourself badly." He winked at Jacquelin and hurried across the platform .
Jacqueline waited at the same spot to ensure that his father would not come back, then took his schoolbag and boarded the train, found a compartment and fell asleep soundly.Getting up at seven o'clock is definitely beyond her acceptable range.
"Hey, you're here." Jacquelin didn't know how long she had slept, she just felt a warm living thing jumping on her lap, followed by her friend, Pansy's voice.When she opened her eyes, a black cat was sitting on her lap licking its paws, and Pansy was sitting across from her.
"How did you become like this?" Jacquelin sat up, facing Pansy who was tanned, and some parts of his face were peeling.
"It's the same if you've been out in the sun too much." Pansy shrugged and looked at her. "Speaking of which, I think you save the Grahams a fortune every year on clothes."
"Stop talking about that." Jacqueline shook his head, and at this moment the train shook and started, "Do you know Sirius Black?"
"Recently, anyone who is a wizard knows." Pansy said, frowning. "I heard that before he was caught, there were dementor guards near the school. They were mad and never Which prisoner can escape from Azkaban."
"He's definitely coming to Hogwarts?" Jacqueline asked rhetorically, when the door knocked, they opened it, and a smiling, dimpled woman was pushing her cart full of snacks.
"Who knew?" Pansy stood up and bought some pumpkin pie, and Jacqueline fished out some desserts that Norm had prepared for her from her bag. "Everyone thought he was going to kill Harry."
"You think so too?" Jacquiline took a bite of her own lobster burger. "You have to try this," she said, passing another burger. "Norm found a recipe out of nowhere and it was delicious."
"Our family thinks it's not that simple." Pansy looked at the hamburger handed over by Jacquiline, and shook her head with regret, "I'm controlling my diet. He's Harry's godfather."
"It's a shame," Jacquelin shook his head, putting the burger back in his bag. "He is Harry's godfather? But isn't there a rumor that he is his subordinate? The tragedy of the Potter family is also because of him?"
"Who knows?" Pansy shook her head, looking at the scenery outside the window, the sky outside was getting darker and heavier, making her a little breathless. "It's going to rain," Pansy sighed. "I really hate going to school soaked. The trip when I first came here is impressive enough."
"I'm sure the fire in the dining room will dry your clothes," Jacqueline laughed. "But those new students, I'm afraid it's going to be miserable, aren't they?"
"Traveling in the rain?" Pansy laughed loudly. "All I can say is, Merlin bless them. By the way," she turned her head. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The lights are also on. "How was your summer vacation? I heard you went to France right after your vacation."
"It's pretty good." Jacquelin was taken aback for a moment before giving such an ambiguous answer.
"I feel like you didn't say something."
"It doesn't matter."
The cubicle fell silent.After about half an hour, the train came to a slow stop.
"We're here?" Pansy exclaimed excitedly, standing up to open the compartment door, but Jacqueline stopped him.
"It doesn't feel right." Jacquilin shook his head, drew his wand and pointed it at the door of the compartment, "We can't have arrived so early, let alone, did you hear Hagrid calling for the new students?"
"Is something wrong?" Hearing what she said, Pansy also drew out his wand.
"I don't know," Jacquiline shook her head. "I thought the conductor would let us know whatever happened." She had just finished speaking when the lights on the train went out. A faint light, although not enough to illuminate the entire compartment, allowed them to see clearly in front of themselves.The two of them looked at the door of the compartment so nervously, and the screams from the next compartment frightened them from time to time.
"Could it be that someone attacked the train?" Pansy asked worriedly.
"Maybe." Jacquelin gritted his teeth. "It's not too far from the school. I hope the teachers have got the news."
They were quiet again.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the compartment, and Panxi's legs gave way and she collapsed on the seat, "It's our turn." She cried miserably.
"Who is it!" Jacquiline snapped. "Tell me who you are!"
There was no answer from outside the door, but the door of the compartment opened slowly. Jacqueline racked her brains to find a spell that could lock the door, but all she could think of was Alahoo opening.It's the exact opposite spell, okay?
The door slowly opened fully, and standing in the doorway, illuminated by the firelight from Jacquiline's wand, was a cloaked monster as tall as the ceiling.Its face is completely hidden under the hood.
Dementor, Jacqueline swallowed involuntarily, and looked down at the dementor involuntarily.What she saw made his stomach constrict: a hand protruding from the cloak, the hand shimmering, gray and thin and scabbed, like something dead and soaked in water to rot .The hand was visible for less than a second.The monster under the cloak seemed to sense Jacquiline's gaze, and the hand suddenly retracted into the folds of the black cloak.Then the thing under the hood, whatever it was, took a long, slow, trembling breath, as if trying to suck in something other than air from its surroundings.
Jacquiline felt a chill run through her body, and she felt her breath congeal in her chest, as if she was drowning.The chill penetrated her skin, down to her chest, down to her heart.
Jacquiline tried to stand up, but her eyes were pitch black and she couldn't see anything.She seemed to be sinking in the icy sea, with surging waves in her ears. She was pulled down, and the sound in her ears gradually disappeared, only waves of coldness swept over her.Boundless darkness, silence.Am I dead?She wanted to speak, but she couldn't utter a word. There was only a little fire in front of her eyes. She stretched out her hand to touch it, but her body seemed to be hugged by someone, and she quickly backed away.
"Jacqueline, Jacqueline! Wake up, wake up!" Someone was slapping her in the face, who was it?Jacqueline opened his eyes blankly, only to see two confused figures, and then someone pushed the door and walked out.Jacqueline shook her head, it took her a long time to see the lights above, the floor was shaking.The Hogwarts Express was on its way again, and the lights were on again.She seemed to fall to the ground, and Pansy knelt beside her, and she felt so bad that she sat up and coughed violently.
"Dementor." She tried her best to speak, her voice was very hoarse, she raised her hand and wiped the cold sweat off her face.
"That's right." Pansy helped her into a chair. "I can't believe they're here."
"They probably thought that someone hid Black in his robe and brought him here." Jacqueline leaned weakly on the chair, took a few sips of the pumpkin juice beside him.
"They must be crazy," Pansy said. "It's a good thing there's a teacher on the train, otherwise we'd all be doomed."
"Teacher? On the train? What do you teach?"
"I don't know..."
"Defense Against the Dark Arts." A voice came from the door, and they looked up together. A stranger was standing at the door. This stranger was wearing an extremely worn-out wizard's robe, which was patched in several places.He looked sick and tired.He still looks young, but the light brown hair has been mixed with spontaneity.
"Are you Jacquiline Graham? A Miss Granger asked me to come and have a look." He stepped up to Jacqueline, looked at her, and then took out a large piece of chocolate from his pocket hand it over. "You really don't look well, come on, eat it, you'll be fine."
Jacqueline held the chocolate and didn't move.
"I didn't poison the chocolate." The stranger laughed. "If I say, I know your father, James Harris, can you eat it?"
"Excuse me, are you?" Jacqueline finally spoke.
"I'm Lupine, you can call me that."
"Thank you, Professor Lupine." Jacquelin thanked, and took a bite.She felt warm all over, and felt much more comfortable in her stomach.
"So it seems that the task Miss Granger entrusted to me has been completed." Lupine smiled, "See you at school then."
"See you at school."
Lupine walked out of the compartment, and the train came to a slow stop.
While Jacqueline was eating a hamburger, a plate of chicken wings, and an order of chips, and getting up to get some cheesecake, Hermione exploded.
"Do you have to eat so much?" Hermione asked slightly dissatisfied when they were queuing up.
"I'm hungry." Jacqueline nodded. "Going on a roller coaster is exhausting. Maybe," she looked up at the menu, "have another hot dog, what do you want? I can treat you." Hermione just snorted and turned away.
"How are you doing?" Hermione was exhausted when Medivh came to pick them up at five o'clock in the evening.
"Pretty good," Jacqueline replied, eating a huge chocolate sundae.
"It's very interesting!" Hermione sat on the back seat and replied weakly.
"I've prepared some snacks for you." Medivh smiled at Hermione through the reversing mirror, "Miss Jacqueline, it's in the storage cabinet in front of you, can you help me get it?"

When the manager piled up the books almost a person's height in front of Jacquilin, Jacqueline swallowed in surprise.Thankfully, she went to buy a schoolbag first, otherwise these books would not fit all in Yuna's handbag.
"I think that's all." Yuna nodded, took out a money bag from her handbag, counted out a few gold Galleons and handed them to Jacqueline, and handed the money bag to the manager, "It's only enough for you Then go to replenish medicinal materials and owl food."
Jacquelin put the Galleon into his pocket with a bitter face, "Fortunately, it's only August, and I can still have a full meal on the Hogwarts Express."
"I'm pretty sure Norm will bring you a bunch of treats."
"It's a pity it can't fill my schoolbag."
"Then you won't be able to carry it on your back."
On the first day of school, James sent Jacquelin to platform 9 4/3 early.When they arrived, there was no one on the platform except a very old worker.
"I'm so sorry, my baby." He yawned, his face haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he had aged ten years suddenly. "It's not peaceful recently, even Hogwarts, it's terrible. I always hope that your mother can take you to school directly, after all, she also works there." He took out a pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at it "I have to go." He bent down and kissed Jacqueline's forehead. "I love you, baby."
He walked away in a hurry as he said, but he came back very quickly, "I was so busy that I lost my head." He knocked on his head, took out a large handful of Galleons from his pocket, and counted them. Without counting, he handed it directly to Jacquilin, "I'm not sure if I can buy you a gift this year, if not, just buy some for yourself, don't treat yourself badly." He winked at Jacquelin and hurried across the platform .
Jacqueline waited at the same spot to ensure that his father would not come back, then took his schoolbag and boarded the train, found a compartment and fell asleep soundly.Getting up at seven o'clock is definitely beyond her acceptable range.
"Hey, you're here." Jacquelin didn't know how long she had slept, she just felt a warm living thing jumping on her lap, followed by her friend, Pansy's voice.When she opened her eyes, a black cat was sitting on her lap licking its paws, and Pansy was sitting across from her.
"How did you become like this?" Jacquelin sat up, facing Pansy who was tanned, and some parts of his face were peeling.
"It's the same if you've been out in the sun too much." Pansy shrugged and looked at her. "Speaking of which, I think you save the Grahams a fortune every year on clothes."
"Stop talking about that." Jacqueline shook his head, and at this moment the train shook and started, "Do you know Sirius Black?"
"Recently, anyone who is a wizard knows." Pansy said, frowning. "I heard that before he was caught, there were dementor guards near the school. They were mad and never Which prisoner can escape from Azkaban."
"He's definitely coming to Hogwarts?" Jacqueline asked rhetorically, when the door knocked, they opened it, and a smiling, dimpled woman was pushing her cart full of snacks.
"Who knew?" Pansy stood up and bought some pumpkin pie, and Jacqueline fished out some desserts that Norm had prepared for her from her bag. "Everyone thought he was going to kill Harry."
"You think so too?" Jacquiline took a bite of her own lobster burger. "You have to try this," she said, passing another burger. "Norm found a recipe out of nowhere and it was delicious."
"Our family thinks it's not that simple." Pansy looked at the hamburger handed over by Jacquiline, and shook her head with regret, "I'm controlling my diet. He's Harry's godfather."
"It's a shame," Jacquelin shook his head, putting the burger back in his bag. "He is Harry's godfather? But isn't there a rumor that he is his subordinate? The tragedy of the Potter family is also because of him?"
"Who knows?" Pansy shook her head, looking at the scenery outside the window, the sky outside was getting darker and heavier, making her a little breathless. "It's going to rain," Pansy sighed. "I really hate going to school soaked. The trip when I first came here is impressive enough."
"I'm sure the fire in the dining room will dry your clothes," Jacqueline laughed. "But those new students, I'm afraid it's going to be miserable, aren't they?"
"Traveling in the rain?" Pansy laughed loudly. "All I can say is, Merlin bless them. By the way," she turned her head. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The lights are also on. "How was your summer vacation? I heard you went to France right after your vacation."
"It's pretty good." Jacquelin was taken aback for a moment before giving such an ambiguous answer.
"I feel like you didn't say something."
"It doesn't matter."
The cubicle fell silent.After about half an hour, the train came to a slow stop.
"We're here?" Pansy exclaimed excitedly, standing up to open the compartment door, but Jacqueline stopped him.
"It doesn't feel right." Jacquilin shook his head, drew his wand and pointed it at the door of the compartment, "We can't have arrived so early, let alone, did you hear Hagrid calling for the new students?"
"Is something wrong?" Hearing what she said, Pansy also drew out his wand.
"I don't know," Jacquiline shook her head. "I thought the conductor would let us know whatever happened." She had just finished speaking when the lights on the train went out. A faint light, although not enough to illuminate the entire compartment, allowed them to see clearly in front of themselves.The two of them looked at the door of the compartment so nervously, and the screams from the next compartment frightened them from time to time.
"Could it be that someone attacked the train?" Pansy asked worriedly.
"Maybe." Jacquelin gritted his teeth. "It's not too far from the school. I hope the teachers have got the news."
They were quiet again.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the compartment, and Panxi's legs gave way and she collapsed on the seat, "It's our turn." She cried miserably.
"Who is it!" Jacquiline snapped. "Tell me who you are!"
There was no answer from outside the door, but the door of the compartment opened slowly. Jacqueline racked her brains to find a spell that could lock the door, but all she could think of was Alahoo opening.It's the exact opposite spell, okay?
The door slowly opened fully, and standing in the doorway, illuminated by the firelight from Jacquiline's wand, was a cloaked monster as tall as the ceiling.Its face is completely hidden under the hood.
Dementor, Jacqueline swallowed involuntarily, and looked down at the dementor involuntarily.What she saw made his stomach constrict: a hand protruding from the cloak, the hand shimmering, gray and thin and scabbed, like something dead and soaked in water to rot .The hand was visible for less than a second.The monster under the cloak seemed to sense Jacquiline's gaze, and the hand suddenly retracted into the folds of the black cloak.Then the thing under the hood, whatever it was, took a long, slow, trembling breath, as if trying to suck in something other than air from its surroundings.
Jacquiline felt a chill run through her body, and she felt her breath congeal in her chest, as if she was drowning.The chill penetrated her skin, down to her chest, down to her heart.
Jacquiline tried to stand up, but her eyes were pitch black and she couldn't see anything.She seemed to be sinking in the icy sea, with surging waves in her ears. She was pulled down, and the sound in her ears gradually disappeared, only waves of coldness swept over her.Boundless darkness, silence.Am I dead?She wanted to speak, but she couldn't utter a word. There was only a little fire in front of her eyes. She stretched out her hand to touch it, but her body seemed to be hugged by someone, and she quickly backed away.
"Jacqueline, Jacqueline! Wake up, wake up!" Someone was slapping her in the face, who was it?Jacqueline opened his eyes blankly, only to see two confused figures, and then someone pushed the door and walked out.Jacqueline shook her head, it took her a long time to see the lights above, the floor was shaking.The Hogwarts Express was on its way again, and the lights were on again.She seemed to fall to the ground, and Pansy knelt beside her, and she felt so bad that she sat up and coughed violently.
"Dementor." She tried her best to speak, her voice was very hoarse, she raised her hand and wiped the cold sweat off her face.
"That's right." Pansy helped her into a chair. "I can't believe they're here."
"They probably thought that someone hid Black in his robe and brought him here." Jacqueline leaned weakly on the chair, took a few sips of the pumpkin juice beside him.
"They must be crazy," Pansy said. "It's a good thing there's a teacher on the train, otherwise we'd all be doomed."
"Teacher? On the train? What do you teach?"
"I don't know..."
"Defense Against the Dark Arts." A voice came from the door, and they looked up together. A stranger was standing at the door. This stranger was wearing an extremely worn-out wizard's robe, which was patched in several places.He looked sick and tired.He still looks young, but the light brown hair has been mixed with spontaneity.
"Are you Jacquiline Graham? A Miss Granger asked me to come and have a look." He stepped up to Jacqueline, looked at her, and then took out a large piece of chocolate from his pocket hand it over. "You really don't look well, come on, eat it, you'll be fine."
Jacqueline held the chocolate and didn't move.
"I didn't poison the chocolate." The stranger laughed. "If I say, I know your father, James Harris, can you eat it?"
"Excuse me, are you?" Jacqueline finally spoke.
"I'm Lupine, you can call me that."
"Thank you, Professor Lupine." Jacquelin thanked, and took a bite.She felt warm all over, and felt much more comfortable in her stomach.
"So it seems that the task Miss Granger entrusted to me has been completed." Lupine smiled, "See you at school then."
"See you at school."
Lupine walked out of the compartment, and the train came to a slow stop.
