148 Dementors Out Of Control?

"Hello, Harry, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time indeed."

Compared to the smile on his face just now, Harry's expression at this moment is a little cold.

Seeing this, Lucas smiled and said, "What? Still angry about the Chamber of Secrets? I've already explained that I didn't see any basilisks."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care anymore, what else do you need? If there is nothing else, I want to talk to Ron about something else."

Seeing the boy's attitude and how he was trying to get him to leave, Lucas shrugged, originally he just wanted to meet the werewolf, but now it seems that he can only look for another opportunity.

Just as he turned to leave, there was a stranger's voice behind him.

Lupin moved aside the clothes covering his head and said, "A little advice, friends are very important during school."

"I see that your friend seems to want to apologize, and it's good to forgive when someone is being sincere."

After Lupin said this, he looked at Harry and winked, because what he said was specifically for him.

When Lupin looked towards the door of the carriage, the first thing that caught his eye was the dazzling blond hair and deep blue eyes.

The next moment, a name appeared in his mind. There are very few people in the British wizarding world who don't know Lucas Grindelwald.

"It turned out to be Mr. Grindelwald from the Saints Investment Group, nice to meet you."

"It's an honor to meet you too, Professor Lupin."

Remus looked puzzled, not understanding how the boy knew about him.

Due to his sensitive identity as a werewolf, he couldn't help looking at Lucas with a little more vigilance.

Lucas didn't care, but pointed to the box on the luggage rack with a smile.

All eyes fell on the box and saw the words written on it "Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, R.J. Lupin."

Remus breathed a sigh of relief.

When he looked at the young man in front of him again, he found that he was extending his right hand towards him.

"Welcome, professor, and I am also looking forward to your Defense Against the Dark Arts course. I still have something to do, so I will leave first."

Seeing the sunny smile along with Lucas' politeness.

Remus remembered the conversation he had with Sirius before coming here.

According to Sirius, the surname Grindelwald destined Lucas to be a supporter of purebloods.

And he's also a Slytherin.

The two only had the impression of Slytherins being arrogant and obnoxious.

But now after Remus got in touch with him personally, he found that Lucas seemed to be a little different from other Slytherins.

At this moment, the boy who had already walked out of the carriage turned back.

"I forgot one very important thing, Harry, you must lock the door of the compartment later, otherwise something bad could happen, please believe me!"

"This is the Hogwarts Express, what can happen? Is it possible that someone will be so bold as to attack us?"

After all, Ron couldn't hold back, and said some words rudely.

His behavior seems to have become a habit, as if he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't say something to refute Lucas.

Lucas saw that Harry also seemed to agree, so shrugging his shoulders, he turned and walked towards the other carriages.

Anyway, he has already made a reminder, don't blame him for being kissed by a dementor at that time!

After Lucas left, the conversation and laughter resumed in the compartment again.

Remus sat in the corner and looked at Harry in front of him, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

After a while he fell asleep again.

He was really tired because of the recent full moon, and also because of poverty, that causes him to often not have enough to eat.

Sleeping can reduce consumption and make people forget about hunger.

…

Back to his own carriage compartment, the two girls greeted Lucas with blank eyes.

He smiled and sat between the two of them, put his hands on their waists and tried saying some nice words to coax them.

After a while, the originally clear sky turned cloudy. The pouring rain made the distant scenery look hazy and beautiful.

When the evening arrived, dark clouds made the day turn into night ahead of schedule.

Lucas knew that the dementors were coming.

"It's really strange that it's raining so hard all of a sudden."

With that, Hermione stood up and was about to leave, but Lucas grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I'll just walk around the train, it's too boring staying in the same place all day."

Cho nodded after hearing this, but noticed that her wrist was being held tightly by a big hand.

"You two can't go out now, there will be danger soon."

"Danger?" They frowned.

"Yes, Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic feared he was hiding on the Hogwarts express, so a Dementor inspection was arranged."

"Dementors? Are they crazy?"

As the top students of Ravenclaw, the two girls know exactly what a dementor is.

Hermione said dissatisfied: "Facing the happy and laughing students on the train, how could those dementors control themselves."

She didn't understand the Ministry of Magic's approach, let alone support it.

At the same time, it also strengthened her determination to join the Ministry of Magic after graduation.

This time it wasn't just about standing by Lucas' side, she also wanted to truly change this stagnant magical world.

Not long after Hermione finished speaking, the train stopped suddenly.

The two girls, who already knew what was going on, suddenly became nervous.

"Ladies, draw your wands, remember the Patronus Charm I taught you?"

Seeing the two nodding, Lucas said in a relaxed tone: "If those dementors dare to come in, use your Patronus to hit them in the face."

Lucas' relaxed tone dispelled the tension in their hearts.

A few seconds after he finished speaking, all the lights on the train went out.

The three of them clearly heard the loud voices of the students coming from the corridor.

Lucas walked to the door and looked towards the front of the carriage.

The students of Slytherin performed very well under the leadership of their respective chiefs.

Even the seventh grade students walked to the carriages where the freshmen were led by the year chief Carl O'Neill and the prefect Gemma Farley.

"Lucas, look!"

Hearing voices behind him, Lucas turned his head hastily, just to see the rain on the window condensed into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The girls opened their mouths and tried to let out a breath of hot air. In an instant, it turned into a cloud of white mist.

"Watch out, the dementors are on board!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure in black cloth appeared outside the carriage.

It stuck out a rotting, dry, scabbed hand.

It seems that they want to open the carriage door and come in to check.

"Go away, there is no one you are looking for here."

Hearing Lucas' voice the dementor paused.

These dark creatures are very sensitive to human's presence.

The dementor in front of him seemed to recognize Lucas so it slowly let go of its hand, intending to go to other compartments to check.

Just at this time two voices shouted from behind Lucas: "Expecto Patronum!"

The light from the two clusters of silver and White illuminated the entire carriage.

The lights gradually turned into two corporeal patronus.

It's worth mentioning that because of Lucas, Hermione and Cho's Patronus were actually a cat and a swan respectively.

Moreover, Hermione, who was not very good at the Patronus Charm in the original book, does not have any difficulty in casting it now.

For the two girls, just thinking back a little bit about their experiences with Lucas was enough to make them happy.

Two Patronus jumped out of the carriage compartment and rushed towards the dementor who hadn't reacted yet.

They seemed to have found a fun toy, and kept chasing the dementor off the train.

In the middle of the train, inside Harry's compartment.

Hearing noises all around, Harry felt more and more uneasy, then he suddenly remembered the words Lucas left before parting.

"Ron, lock the door now!"

It's a pity that he spoke too slowly.

Before Ron got up, a dementor had already arrived at the door.

Ron's rat hid into his robe immediately when it saw the dementor.

Harry's owl also tucked its head under its wings.

No creature in the wizarding world likes dementors.

~Click~

The door handle was turned, and the door was opened.

The dementor entered the compartment and its head turned curiously in Harry's direction, like it just found its favorite food.

A transparent air flow was suddenly drawn away from Harry's body.

The Dementor was devouring his happiness.

As it devoured more and more, the dementor began to lose control of itself, wanting to devour the souls of the human being in front of it.

At this moment, Lupin who was sleeping opened his eyes and his wand was already in his hand.

The moment he got up, he uttered the Patronus charm to repel the dementor.

At this time, two playful Patronus animals passed by the door.

Seeing that there was another dementor in the carriage, the patronus rushed towards the new dementor.

Remus lowered his wandas he watched the dementors being chased away, he was a little curious for a moment.

There are still people on this train who can use the Patronus Charm, fully corporeal at that.

Just when he was about to find out who the casters were, Lucas's sonorous enhanced voice rang out from outside the compartment.
