33 Chapter 33

Harry was standing with his grandmother as his parents were busy making sure that his sisters had packed everything and James and Sirius were trying to prevent Lily and Amelia from crying at thought of all their children leaving home, especially Lily as she mostly stayed at home unless she had a Potions conference, unlike Amelia who was the head of the DMLE. They had arrived early and were one of the only people on the platform of 9 3/4.Harry hugged his grandmother goodbye and headed towards his parents.

Lily was disturbed from her moping and fussing by Harry, who handed her and Amelia each a package and said, " I knew you would react like this, so with help from grandpa I managed to enchant two pairs of communication mirrors, one is in this and other one I am gave it to Mom Amy, so you guys can communicate with us everyday instead of through letters. "

Lily and Amelia both smiled at their son's thoughtfulness and hugged him, " you are the best sweetheart , please take care of your sisters, will you? There are many people who hold a grudge against your father for marrying a Muggleborn witch and making her the Lady of a Most Ancient and Noble House, and they may target your sister and same for Nebula and Artemis, Malfoy and his cronies may target her for being daughters of blood traitors according to them. "

Harry just smiled reassuringly and said, " I will take care of them, don't you worry. And if anyone attacks them, then I will make them wish that they were never born. "

Lily and Amelia shuddered as a cold chill went down their spines at Harry's words and they silently admitted to themselves that their son could be very scary when he wanted to be.

Harry finally boarded the Hogwarts express and found an empty compartment and sat down with his sisters and waited for his friends to arrive. It was nearly an hour later that all his friends arrived and Harry expanded their compartment with a flick of his wand, to which his friends just shook their heads at, they had accepted the fact that Harry was incredibly talented at magic.

His sisters and Astoria got along great and Harry kept chatting with his friends after casting a silencing bubble around the new first years and they had their lunch that Harry had his house elf Rosey get the lunch she had prepared for them from Potter Manor.

They were nearly an hour from Hogsmeade when suddenly the Hogwarts express slowed down and stopped with a sudden jerk waking up Harry who was sleeping with his head in Padma's lap. Harry looked around and said, " have we already reached Hogsmeade. "

" No Harry, we are at least an hour from Hogsmeade station, " Daphne answered.

Harry noticed that the interior of the train had suddenly become dark and there was frost forming on the windows. He immediately flicker his wrist, summoning his wand into his hand and stood up to leave the compartment but first said to his friends and sisters, " I am going to check what has happened, you people don't come out of the compartment, I am sealing it. "

Harry stepped out of his compartment and sealed the door behind him with a wave of his wand. He immediately felt a wave of intense bone chilling cold and felt tendrils despair generated by the presence of dementors trying to influence his mind and drown him in despair, but Harry's Occlumency was too strong and he easily ignored their efforts and instead did something he never tried with the Patronus charm, he cast the Patronus charm using his intense love for his family as well his intent for his Patronus to destroy the Dementors and expelled a huge amount of magic through his wand, willing it to fulfill his intent and a massive silver eagle like bird that looked almost solid appeared out of his wand and flew towards the two Dementors coming towards him, it flew so fast that it left a silvery afterimage in its wake and a smell of ozone and as soon as it made contact with the Dementors ,those horrible creatures turned to ashes with an earsplitting screech as though struck by a Lightning bolt, the only thing left from the two destroyed Dementors were rheir ashes.

Harry didn't think that what he used was the Patronus charm but something else altogether, he was interrupted from his musings when a man appeared from a nearby compartment casting his Patronus, chasing a dementor out of it and Harry immediately directed his spell in that direction, destroying that Dementor too, shocking that man who looked towards Harry, revealing Remus Lupin.

Remus was not expecting Dementors to get onto the Hogwarts express, and was definitely not expecting what appeared to be a student destroy the Dementors, which he didn't know was possible and in the first place and he was even more surprised to find that student hug the stuffing out of him while calling him Uncle Moony. There was only one person who called him Uncle Moony and it turned out that the student was his nephew in all but blood, Harry. It seemed that Harry had grown a lot over the summer, so in the darkness of the corridor caused by the Dementors, Remus didn't recognize Harry.

" What are you doing here? Not that I am not glad to see you, I didn't see you all summer, " Harry asked.

" Remus just shook his head and said, " I was abroad Harry, and I am your Defense against the Dark Arts teacher this year. "

Harry hugged and congratulated Remus, " finally we will have a competent Defense professor this year, instead of the Stuttering wonder Quirrel in first year and the Prancing Peacock Lockhart last year. "

Remus just smiled at Harry's enthusiasm and sent him back to his compartment and went to check on the other students in the train.

Harry unsealed his compartment and was immediately hugged by his sisters who seemed to have been badly affected by the Dementors. Harry consoled them and gave a piece of chocolate to everyone in his compartment , and an extra large piece to Luna who was shaking badly, she seemed to have remembered her mother's death. Harry then told them about what transpired outside the compartment. His sisters were glad to have Moony as the Defense professor. His friends just looked at him in shock.

Harry just looked at them and asked them in confusion, " Guys, why are you looking at me like that? "

It was Terry who answered, " Harry you don't seem to recognize the magnitude of what you have done, you destroyed a Dementor without resorting to the use of Fiendfyre, which was thought to be impossible, of course we are shocked. "

Daphne and Padma both hugged him and thanked him for destroying the Dementors, while his sistera just looked at him and said, " Big Brother Harry is the best. "
