Suddenly, the Hogwarts Express stopped, and a cold air swept through the entire carriage. Frost condensed on the glass of the carriage windows, and even the water glasses near the windows began to freeze.
The entire Hogwarts Express happened to stop on a bridge. This location with neither going up nor coming down was the most suitable place for arrest. Obviously, under the arrangement of the Ministry of Magic, the Dementors found the best time to search. Hogwarts Express.
Black figures like ghosts gathered from all directions, in the sky, under the bridge, at the front and rear of the car. It was obvious that the Dementors had no intention of letting go of the possible fugitive in the car, Sirius Black.
The entire train was like an iron bar placed in a refrigerator, now covered with white ice.
Several dementors began to check the carriage gradually. The children were frightened. You must know that in addition to the separate carriages, there are also some open hard seats. The students sitting on the hard seats took out their wands and pointed at them. Looking at the passing dementors.
"Calling God to protect you! All of you stay in this carriage. I will go elsewhere to check the situation. You are not allowed to leave here."
Regulus Black waved his wand, and a ball of silver thread formed a bright ball of light, illuminating the carriage like a bright moon in the sky.
Regulus Black came outside, and a Dementor happened to come here. Apparently the Dementor searched every carriage at the same time, which meant that there was a Dementor in every carriage.
Such a tight-knit search, if Sirius was really here, there would be absolutely no way he could escape.
The dementors made a salute to Regulus Black. Although they could not speak, they had a certain IQ and memory. Regulus Black had killed three thirds of them in Azkaban. The dementor's story is still fresh in the memory of the dementor.
So, when this dementor met Regulus Black, it was really scared, if they had emotions, so it did something a dementor had never done before, saluted!
In the carriage where Regulus Black was sitting, all the students were hiding in separate carriages. Dementors only need to pass by and take a look to know if there is the person they are looking for, because they can only see souls. The color cannot be deceived.
The separate carriage selected by Harry Potter and Ron was right next to it. In it sat Remus Lupine, known as Moon Face, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and Harry's third-year Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. He would teach Harry Use the Patronus Charm.
If the dementors were to act according to their behavior, they would not open the carriage door and attack a student, even if it was a source of happiness, including, of course, the attack on Harry Potter during the Quidditch match. , such an approach is not in line with the characteristics of Dementors.
They are a group of greedy predators, but they also have a strong contract with wizards. Otherwise, if Azkaban were not attacked by dementors, it would not only be prisoners, but even the guarding Aurors would be targets. .
"Do something for me and this will be yours."
Regulus Black pointed his finger, and a human soul appeared in front of the Dementors. Just like when Sirius was injured and found later, it over-absorbed his happiness, and as a result, even the soul was sucked out. A soul pearl the size of a small fund.
Obviously, this soul pearl is definitely a delicacy for the dementors. It is a delicacy that makes the dementors more excited than absorbing the happiness of hundreds of people.
The process of absorbing human souls is called the Dementor's Kiss.
It is simply too easy for Regulus Black to obtain human souls. He can see dead souls floating around every day when he walks on the road. This is just one of the ones he has collected.
Of course, this gift from Regulus Black is also spiced up. This human soul comes with a harsh contract. Whoever eats it voluntarily will become Regulus Black while increasing his strength. Blake's Contract Beast.
This is a very strong slave contract.
Sure enough, the brainless dementor swallowed the human soul that contained the contract without any hesitation. It was so delicious that you couldn't eat it for free!
Now that he has eaten human souls, while his strength increases, it is time to do something.
Regulus Black got out of the way, and the Dementor continued to drift backwards, stopping at a separate carriage two places away. As the Dementor's hand swayed in a virtual gesture, the door lock of the carriage was unlocked. Inside were Harry Potter and three other people in his dormitory, as well as a sleeping Remus Lupine with his head covered with clothes, which was a good reason to go in and investigate.
The four children were shivering like birds in a snowstorm. The Dementor turned to look at Harry Potter. Suddenly a suction force appeared, and the Dementor sucked out Harry Potter's happiness continuously.
Harry Potter only felt that he had never been in such pain, and a woman's heartbreaking scream emerged from the bottom of his heart.
"Call the gods to protect you!"
Remus Lupine noticed Harry Potter's situation and could no longer pretend to sleep. He took out his wand and cast the Patronus Charm.
A ball of light appeared first, then a ball, and finally turned into a torrent of light, sweeping the Dementor... The Dementor turned around and ran away!
Remus Lupine was a little surprised that he hadn't beaten the dementors away yet! Why is this dementor so timid
Regulus Black's purpose was to have Remus Lupine reveal the Patronus Charm in front of Harry Potter, just like in the original work, and then teach it to Harry Potter. As for this Dementor, since it has achieved its goal, it is natural that it is time to retire.
The search of the Hogwarts Express ended here, and the Dementors did not find Sirius Black on the train.
But then the dementors will move into Hogwarts, and the students will experience the coldest semester in their lives.
"Harry! How are you? Wake up Harry, are you okay?"
Ron shook Harry Potter. Among the five people present just now, except Harry Potter, no one was attacked by dementors. Although for them, facing the dementors like this made them feel that they would never be happy again in the future. .
"Eat this, kid. You'll feel better after eating the chocolate."
Remus Lupine broke a box of chocolate frogs into several pieces and gave them to each of them, especially Harry Potter, because he was the only one who was attacked just now.
"I heard the screams of a woman. I didn't know who it was, but I felt very heartbroken. That woman should be someone related to me. She might be... my mother."
Harry Potter recalled the memory of his childhood. Harry Potter, who was only a few months old, watched his parents being killed by Voldemort using the Avada Kedavra curse in his own pen. In the end, he himself Covered by a flash of green.
During the first year semester, Harry Potter also saw his parents through the Mirror of Erised, but this time he could not remember what his parents looked like in his memory, which made him very painful, as if they were just like him. It's like losing them like this.
This is far more painful than being sucked out of happiness by dementors. If possible, Harry Potter would trade everything to get his parents back.
"You guys just stay here, I'll go check out the other cars, and I'll go to the front of the train to report this matter."
As a professor who was traveling with him, Remus Lupine was obliged to report what had just happened. Neither Hogwarts nor the Ministry of Magic would allow dementors to attack students.
Regulus Black had already comforted Remus Lupin all the way to the front of the car, boosting the favorability of the entire Hogwarts, and even handed out boxes of chocolate frogs.
When Remus Lupine walked by, he saw students each holding a box of chocolate frogs and eating them. For someone who did not know him and claimed to be a professor, the students' reaction was a little cold.
When Remus Lupine came to the front of the car, he met Regulus Black who was waiting for him.
"Hello! I am Regulus Black and Sirius Black is my brother."
