41 Back to Hogwarts

- Expecto Patrono! - He screamed even harder, Arthur did not know if it was the mark or why he thought of Bella hugging him, but his spell worked.

The wand shone more brightly, compared to the first time, that it was just a spike of light, Arthur saw two giant creatures sticking out of his wand.

Two snakes came out of his wand, one black and intertwined with a white one, they lit up the dark car, meanwhile, lights were coming out of Arthur's wand running through the train.

The snakes ran up the dementor, repelling the monster, he could hear his scream, the Dementor fled Arthur's car and jumped off the train.

Immediately after he conjured his patron, Arthur's vision began to blur, he felt like falling into a sleep, the boy bit his tongue to stay awake.

- Arthur, are you all right? - Bella asked worriedly, seeing the boy's white face.

- I'm fine, I just need some chocolate - the weary boy said. Bella looked for some candy in her purse, but there was nothing, when Katherine woke up in a panic, she could not believe she was saved by him and not by the her brother, she needed to say something to redeem herself.

- You almost killed Arthur! Because you took so long to let go of your patron, Ethan just did not repel the Dementor because he did not want to get your hands dirty, you're so pathetic! - The girl said with an angry look, "you suck?" Arthur thought, looking at her.

- Shut up Katherine! Ethan shouted, the boy looked at Arthur curiously, the patron was one of the spells he most wanted to learn, but he never succeeded, since Katherine stared blankly at what she was hearing, her brother never spoke to her like that - if not for Arthur we would all be dead.

The girl wanted to reply, but she had no reason to speak against her brother, seeing Arthur with white face almost fainting, Katherine said with a mouth.

- Have some chocolate! I do not even like it myself - Katherine said without looking at Arthur, the boy took the chocolate in his hand and sniffed to see if it had no poison, he could not believe she did some good deed with him - Come right before I take it back .

Arthur threw the chocolate into his mouth as quickly as possible, he did not know if it was because of the mark or because he was very weak, but that was the best chocolate of his life.

As the boy devoured his chocolate, a professor entered the car, all worried.

- We had an invasion of Dementors, are you all right? - Asked Lupine to the children, Arthur had already recovered so the teacher were all well.

- Yes, we are, Arthur has removed one who came in here - Bella said with a smile. Lupine looked at the boy with eyes full of surprise.

- Arthur, right? I've never seen someone from the second year conjure up a patron, I want to see you in my class, well you're fine, so I'm going to check on the others, "the professor replied quickly as he left.

The four spent the trip in silence for the most part, Bella kept asking if Arthur was all right, Katherine was staring at the table without speaking, since Ethan was asking some questions for Arthur, the boy was surprised by his intelligence, "I think I found someone the time, "thought Ethan with a smile, since Arthur began to regret having volunteered to leave the wagon of his friends.

As time passed, Draco got into the wagon to talk to the quartet.

- You do not believe what happened! Harry Potter collapsed on the train when the Dementor arrived - Draco laughed as if it was the best thing of his life.

- How can Potter be such an idiot? - Arthur asked laughing, trying his utmost to pretend he hates Harry, Bella followed the boy in laughter, Arthur doubted she was faking it.

- It must be family, I'm sure to mock him the next time I see him - Draco said with a smile on his face as he stepped out of the car.

Arthur tired of staying with these 3, decided to walk the wagon, he stopped a little in the wagon of his cousin to ask if they are well, then walked to find Luna.

- Hello, Arthur, how was your vacation? - Asked the girl smiling, Luna wore large colored glasses, along with a large round earring.

- It was normal I guess -Arthur said, "I just went to Draco's birthday to steal your house, I turned into a tiger and I faced Werewolves, anyone else did that," thought the boy.

- Come here Arthur, I want to show you the next issue of Pasquim - Luna said, dragging the boy to his cabin, the girl liked Arthur, because he was the only one who criticized the daily prophet and liked the Pasquim.

The journey passed without much news, Arthur rode in several wagons, he got into Charles's and met Cho Chang for the first time, she was by far one of the most beautiful girls he's ever seen, Arthur stayed in Draco's car for a while, until the train stopped and the students went downstairs, they went to the main hall to welcome Dumbledore.

Arthur was at his table eating, he could see Hermione, Harry and Ron on the other side, the boy would try to make amends with Ron, he knew Weasley was not a bad person, but if he did not accept anything would change for Arthur, your goal is to protect people and not be friends with them.

Minerva called the first years to be called, nothing strange happened, Arthur was talking with his friends, when a name came out of the teacher who left the whole room in silence.

- Emilly Lestrange! - Minerva shrieked a little in her surname, a little girl passed by the students and went to the stool, she had black hair and wore an orange scarf, Arthur thought she had seen him before but could not remember where.

The girl sat down to find out which house she would be in, but the selector hat went crazy, he would not stop screaming Slytherin! Slytherin! Everyone looked at her in alarm, the girl seemed more confused than anyone else.

She walked toward the Slytherin students, her eyes met his, and he could swear she saw Emilly's eyes wide with a start, but she was back to normal right away and sat alone.

After ten minutes the hat calmed down and stopped screaming, "Who is this girl and why was not she in the original version?" Arthur wondered, looking at the girl eating alone.
