Chapter 186 Encountering a Dementor in the Train Car
Chapter 186 Encountering a Dementor in the Train Car
Time flies! We were so bored that we didn't know what to do for the remaining two days.
I asked them if they wanted to learn some simple staff-less spellcasting.
Then, one by one, they became interested in learning staffless spellcasting.
What was unexpected was that, apart from Percy and Cedric, the two academic geniuses, Fred and George learned the fastest. Even Harry, who had been studying for a while, didn't pick it up as quickly as Fred and George.
As a result, in the last two days before school started, small items in the house were flying around in the air.
"Luckily we're all wizards, otherwise if Muggles saw us, we'd have to go to the Ministry of Magic." I sipped my coffee elegantly, floating in mid-air.
"They might actually be called in to find out what's going on," Fred said, controlling an apple as it flew through the air.
"Will it be that strict?" Harry asked, controlling a grape as it flew.
“There might be even more severe punishment.” Percy was also floating in the air, but not as freely as I was, and much higher off the sofa.
The remaining people were floating and out of control to varying degrees.
“We should have come to Ayers sooner to play.” George controlled a banana as it flew through the air.
"Alright, take a break. We need to catch the Hogwarts Express tomorrow, so you should start packing today." I slowly sat back down on the sofa.
“Ayers, can we stay at your house again next year for our holidays?” Fred suddenly asked.
"I'm not sure either. If my family comes back, you might not be able to stay at my house anymore." I thought about it for a moment, and decided that if my older brother and Riddle came back, it would be best to avoid letting them run into each other.
"That's such a shame." This was really bad news for Harry.
"That's all for today. Let's all go back to our rooms and pack our things. We need to catch the Hogwarts Express first thing tomorrow morning." I picked up my empty coffee cup and went to the kitchen to wash it.
The next morning, we were all ready and standing in the lobby with our suitcases.
"I'll use 'Apsara' to take you directly to the Hogwarts Express platform in a bit. You all need to take your luggage and teleport with me in pairs. I'm afraid we might get lost if there are too many of us." I checked all the doors and windows in the house to make sure they were properly closed.
"Let's go, who wants to go first?" After I finished, Fred and George stood on either side of me.
With a 'whoosh,' Fred George and I disappeared into the hall.
"Next." In an instant, I was back in my house, only this time Fred and George weren't with me.
Harry and Ron grabbed my arms, and with a 'pop,' we disappeared again, only to reappear a moment later.
This time it was Cedric and Percy. We disappeared again, and then I reappeared after a while.
In the end, only Oliver was left waiting with his luggage.
"Oliver, I'm so sorry, I haven't been able to spend any time alone with you lately." I've really neglected Oliver during this time.
"I'm fine with it. It's quite fun living with a group of people like this." Oliver didn't think too much about it and had a very enjoyable holiday.
"It seems like you get distracted whenever it's not about Quidditch."
I pulled Oliver into my arms.
"Shouldn't you take me to the station too? What are we doing here?" Oliver, who was being held by me, didn't seem to have any other thoughts. He just gently hugged my waist, rested his head on my shoulder, and gently inhaled the scent of blue roses on me.
"I wanted to spend some time alone with you." We hugged each other at home, but in the end, I felt it was about time, so I took Oliver to the station using his 'teleportation' ability.
When the two of us boarded the Hogwarts Express, large dark clouds appeared in the sky, then the wind picked up, and then it started to rain, but the Hogwarts Express continued to move slowly.
Percy, Cedric, and I went to the prefect's box, and I followed behind Percy and Cedric, slowly putting on the Slytherin male prefect badge.
When the three of us entered the prefectural council box, we could see that the male and female prefectural councilors from the other colleges had all arrived.
I didn't know the other college's class leaders or my own college's female class leader, so I just nodded slightly to them as a greeting.
I sat down directly opposite them, and Cedric and Percy sat down as well.
"Now, all prefects, please take note. You can tell each other your names. Here is a summary of what you need to do. After you've read this, you can leave and go patrol the carriages. I've marked which carriages you'll be patrolling. If you still have any questions, just ask. If not, go patrol." As the seventh-year student council president, Percy handed us a very detailed piece of parchment, filled with his handwritten arrangements.
"Since there are no problems, then we can all disperse and go patrol the carriages." Percy dismissed the group when he saw that no one had any further objections.
The rain outside got heavier and heavier as the three of us patrolled each private room.
Just then, the Hogwarts Express gradually slowed down, all the lights on the train went out, the temperature inside the train dropped rapidly, and a layer of ice crystals appeared on the windows.
It seemed like the Dementors were about to appear, so I quickly ran to Harry's box.
Cedric and Percy also sensed that something was about to happen, and they both followed me to Harry's box.
At this time, Harry Potter and his friends were sitting in the box.
A sudden chill swept over the carriage, and the temperature plummeted.
Harry felt a strange sense of dread. He turned his head and saw a figure in what appeared to be tattered clothes in the darkness outside the car corridor window.
Harry finally saw their true colors.
It was black, wearing a tattered trench coat, and was a faceless monster that reeked of decay.
Harry's friends also saw the monsters, and they screamed in terror.
Harry immediately stood up, drew his wand, and pointed it at the Dementors outside the door.
These monsters are Dementors, extremely dangerous magical creatures that can drain human souls, plunging people into despair and fear.
