121 Dementors
Hogwarts Express!
In one of the train rooms. A few figures can be seen staying together in one room.
"Don't let your hairy monster get closer to Scabbers...." A red-haired boy carrying a fat rat in his hands looked at the brown-headed girl in front of him and said.
"Huh... My cat won't eat your ugly rat, Ron..." Hermione looked at Ron and said annoyedly.
"Hey, guys... I think I have something to tell all of you..." The third figure wearing glasses closed the room door and said.
"Oh... What's wrong Harry?" Ron looked at Harry and asked.
While Perona also looked at Harry wondering what he wanted to say.
Only one figure didn't care about the four around him and looked outside in an empty mood.
They are Gray and Perona and the trio, who found each other on the train.
Gary and Perona and Hermione sit on the left side, While Harry and Ron on the other talking happily to each other.
While Nagini like usual stayed around Gray's shoulder.
Because of Nagini's presence, no other student dared to enter their room, except the trio who felt happy finding them and didn't mind Nagini.
The holiday already ended and all the students are going back to school.
Since he copied the Occamy blood for Nagini, nothing really interesting happened after.
Well... Except for that Sirius Black who took his first place in the wizarding world newspaper.
Sirius Black... A poor guy who was arrested as a Voldemort servant, even though he's innocent...
Sirius Black is Harry's godfather, Harry's father, and mother friend, but he was betrayed by another rat who was supposed to be their friend and was sent to Azkaban for twelve whole years!
After twelve years of imprisonment... He became the first person who escaped Azkaban...
This alone made the entire wizarding world feel fear...
Azkaban is not a normal place at all. It's not a place where anyone could enter or leave it easily. Especially with the non-being guardians around the prison there...
The one who managed to run away should be a very evil person.
Harry the little... or not... He's not little anymore... At least the current Gray... He's the little one here...
Back to the point, Harry and the others were talking about Sirius Black right now. And Gray knows everything already so he wasn't really interested to hear about what he wants to say.
"Gray... What wrong with you?" Perona who was beside Gray raised her hand and poked his face while asking. She can see his mind is not here.
"*sigh*... Nothing..." Gray looked at Perona then looked at Hermione and sighed deeply.
What is he thinking about?
Well... first.... is the pattern on his hand...
Gray noticed that the pattern is not really filling itself with the plot progress... With the current speed of the pattern, it will take a very long time which is much longer than the plot time...
And he's not really planning to stay for too long in this world... After getting everything that he could get, there is no real meaning to stay here...
After all, the time bomb oh his head is still there... It's not wise to stay for too long in one world...
For this, Gray doesn't feel so bad, after all, he has a way to forcefully leave the world... Just like he came to it...
The Awakening Crystal that he didn't try to study it till now...
So before he gets all that he can get from this world, Gray wanted to fix his old shortcomings.
For example his physical power, that nerfed him too much in one piece world before...
Well... That's how it should be... But looking at his small body, Gray's mood started twisting...
Even though he said he wants to strengthen his body... But he should fix his size first...
He knows... He knows what is happening here... He's not a human being... With his elvish blood, his growth is so slow... He excepted this from the very moment he became a child...
No solution? There are many ways to fix shape and the like in this world, but none of them really useful for Gray...
What he really wants to fix is his real body, not to hide his body behind the magic. Besides, the magic effect is not permanent...
To tell the truth Gray never really wanted to hide the way he looks.
This is what he is, why should he hide it?
His real body is a child's body, there is no need to hide it, instead, he will focus on finding a way to truly fix it...
At least like this, deep in his heart, he will feel satisfied...
Gray wasn't annoyed so much by his small body before, expect the fact that he became much weaker.
But when he saw the trio...
Well... How to say it... Hermione alone who's sitting beside him right now was enough to give him another big blow...
This girl is so evil... How can the person on one-holiday change so much like this???
The humans grew up so fast!
Let's not say, Ron and Harry...
To get his normal adult body again with his elf growth, Gray estimated it to take about .... 28 years!
A whole 28 Years!!!!
With the two years, he already spent in this world... it's 30 years.
So Gray surely won't wait all this time without even trying to find a way to fix... the problem is that he doesn't know till now, what made his body like this...
...
...
*THGGGAHAA* While thinking of this, the train suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Hermione and the others looked around and wondered why the train would stop suddenly.
And Nagini raised her head and gave a worried voice. She can feel a creepy presence approaching.
While Gray and Perona also felt the weird presence, that entered their observation area.
This is a very weird one, which gave them a cold sad colorless feeling, as if...
'Dementor...' Gray thought.
According to the plot, there really should be one coming here.
Dementor... One of the weirdest and darkest creatures in this world...
The non-being that guards Azkaban...
Gray really wondered, what was the one who hired them from the very beginning thinking of when he hired such creatures...
Especially the Dementor...
They are widely considered to be one of the foulest creatures to inhabit the wizarding world. Dementors feed on human happiness and thus generate feelings of depression and despair in any person in close proximity to them. The weird feeling the three of them feeling right now is the feeling the Dementors brought.
They can also consume a person's soul, leaving their victims in a permanent vegetative state, and thus are often referred to as "soul-sucking fiends", rendering a person an 'empty-shell'.
For those creatures, Gray has absolutely no interest at all.
They are non-being after all... He can't really get any benefit from them since they are kind of soul...
'Wait.... They are spirit classify creatures... And they also feed on souls... Then... Maybe... they have soul attributes...' Thinking of this Gray mouth cracked a weird smile and sat there waiting for the Dementor to come.
But he won't act right now, he will see them very often this year. He will have the chance to try extracting them later.
Good thing no one knows Gray's thought at this moment...
Soon, the air around became so cold to a freezing point, and the glasses beside the window also froze.
While outside the room, a black ghost figure slowly appeared, giving a deep dark feeling.
Seeing the black dressing creature floating outside their room, Gray felt stirred deep inside him.
While the trio didn't dare to move. The depressed feeling and fear filled the heart of the three of them, they really don't dare to act.
Only Perona beside Gray looked at the Dementor, with weird eyes, she's a Hollow-Hollow Fruit owner, in another word, she's a Spirit person. For ghosts and spirits, she always felt more than what others can feel. And because of this, she felt something new from this Dementor...
The Dementor opened the door of the room and looked at Gray and Perona inside.
While from Nagini a weird atmosphere emanated silently, But Gray touched her head as if calming her down.
The Dementor didn't enter the room but looked at everyone silently as if he's searching for someone while only its hollowed breath sound could be heard.
The look of this Dementor reminded Gray of the Nazgul he killed before... The only difference, he can see the decayed skin under the Dementor's black robe, while nothing can be seen from the Nazgul's.
The Dementor looked at the three of them calmly till his face turned to Harry's side.
*WOHSHAHOOOO* From under its black robe, the Dementor's opened its mouth and suddenly sucked the air. But with his movement, something from Harry was sucked out to the Dementor, mouth.
Gray didn't react because... a small white ghost suddenly appeared and penetrated the Dementor. and weirdly the Dementor actually gave a scream of pain and floated back.
Perona's ghost actually damaged the Dementors...
But Perona also felt deep pain inside her heart which forced her to scream a soundless scream, which alerted Gray who was beside her.
"Perona ... are you okay?" Gray looked at Perona, whose faces had turned somewhat pale beside him, asked worriedly.
"I'm okay... I just felt a little pain inside my heart..." Perona widespread her weird feeling to Gray, and looked at the Dementor who's still there with weird eyes.
Hearing her answer, Gray eyes flicked.
But thinking about Perona's ability and the Dementor, he guessed what might be happening.
But also made up his mind to not let her came in contact with the Dementors in the future...
Gray raised his hand and wanted to remove this filthy creature away from his sight...
*WOOOG* but before he does this, a light came from the room not far away and expelled the Dementor, making it directly leave the train.
This light gave a completely opposite feeling from what the Dementor gave, filled with happiness and goodwill.
Feeling the presence of the Dementor completely disappeared, Perona beside Gray also felt weird relief.
'Doomed class new Professor?' And Gray who was observing the entire train with his Haki, already know what happened outside.
The light just now should be Patronus Charm.
The Patronus Charm (Expecto Patronum) is the most famous and one of the most powerful defensive charms known to wizardkind.
It's a very difficult spell, that evoked a partially-tangible positive energy force known as a Patronus, or spirit guardian.
And also the most effective protection spell against creatures like Dementors.
