Hogsmeade Station was as it always was, with familiar scenes and familiar shouts giving the little wizards a real sense of safety. Even a Slytherin would find Hagrid's noisy voice a little bit cute at this moment.
Of course only this moment.
Soon the Slytherins gathered their mood and walked towards the castle together, thinking about how to "complain" when they went back.
What does the Ministry of Magic do for food? He actually allowed those dirty and ugly things to wreak havoc outside, failing to catch anyone and almost hurting them! You must discuss this matter with them carefully!
Although such words were never spoken, Noah, who already knew their style very well, had already foreseen how the Ministry of Magic would be in dire straits next. However, he was also very happy, and Noah even wanted to get involved. It was not like he didn't have the confidence to talk to the Ministry of Magic now.
Until they entered the auditorium, the topic of dementors still couldn't be discussed among the young wizards, but in comparison, the first-year wizards were more uneasy.
Harry and Hermione were called away by their names by Professor McGonagall. All the young wizards saw this and their first reaction was whether these two people had done something at the beginning of school again. After all, the start of school last year left such a deep impression on me.
But as the young wizards discussed, the news about Harry being attacked by dementors spread. Fortunately, what followed was resentment against the dementors and the knowledge that the dementors had come to school. The bad news.
Yes, those dementors are now resident in the school.
The first people to learn the news were the student council president and the prefects who were informed by the two presidents.
"The headmaster will announce this," Percy said with a very ugly expression. "Don't worry too much. There are restrictions from the Ministry of Magic and they will not cross the line."
The expressions of the prefects were all ugly. No one wanted to face the Dementors in the school. The ugly monsters could only be driven away with the Patronus Charm, and could not even be killed. They were as hated by wizards as the prison they guarded. Fear, and now, the school where dementors are stationed is also equated with Azkaban for a moment.
If those things come close, even if they don't offer a disgusting kiss, just their proximity is enough to make people uncomfortable.
Noah thought of the Dementor from before, and that guy couldn't hide his covetousness.
It'd be better if it was really restricted by the Ministry of Magic's ban, and if it came close again, it wouldn't just be expelled.
He has the power to kill it.
…
As expected, after the sorting ceremony, Professor Dumbledore announced that the dementors would stay in the school. Although his expression was very unhappy, there was no other way but to ensure that these dementors would not Harm the little wizard.
The other thing is about their two new professors, one is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor - Professor Lupine, and the other is the new professor of Care of Magical Creatures - Professor Hagrid.
Professor Keltburn has officially announced his retirement. Last year, this professor unfortunately only had one hand and one foot left. He is too old and no longer qualified to teach. It is a pity that he retired. His class will be banned. Lin guards Hagrid competently.
As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, everyone was prepared, and they didn’t want to see a flashy professor again.
After the professor's announcement, there was sparse applause in the auditorium, and Gryffindor's applause was the loudest.
Noah noticed that Professor Snape's expression on the seat was unprecedentedly ugly. It was no longer dissatisfaction, but an expression that could be called hatred.
Coupled with the fact that there is a guy hiding in the school, Professor Snape will probably have a hard time this year.
…
The next day, the new semester officially started.
When Noah and his three roommates came out to have breakfast, they saw two distinct groups of people standing in the auditorium.
On one side is Slytherin, headed by Malfoy, and on the other side is the protagonist trio. It seemed like they were at odds with each other early in the morning.
The Weasley twins staggered in from the door and caught a glimpse of Harry and the others. When they heard what they were saying, Harry was talking about what he had done yesterday.
After the dementor fainted, he mocked Malfoy unceremoniously, saying that when he encountered the dementor, he hid in their carriage in fear and was not much better.
Noah stayed out of the dispute and had no interest in it.
He sat down on the chair and didn't see Eve or the others until they finished eating. None of the three little witches came to eat.
Warrington was a little confused, and after asking other people to no avail, he could only finish his meal in a hurry and return to the dormitory. Because one of those two little witches is his new girlfriend.
Their first lesson was Potions, with Gryffindor.
When Professor Snape came in, his expression was as gloomy as ever. During class, he asked several little wizards about their usual grades. This frightened everyone so much that they tightened their energy throughout the class, for fear of offending the professor. Although they knew full well that the professor was extremely unhappy.
During class, Noah noticed that Eve did not come. All the other little wizards in Slytherin had arrived, except for Eve. Professor Snape seemed to know the reason and did not ask why anyone did not come.
After class, Noah thought about it and went to the campus hospital. Sure enough, he saw Eve sitting on the hospital bed at the door, drinking a bottle of tranquilizing potion.
After standing for a few seconds, Noah walked to the hospital bed, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it over: "Would you like one?"
This is one of the snacks he always keeps when doing experiments. It can help him relieve some brain fatigue. Although it is not as effective as magic and potions, it can help relieve his mood.
Eve was stunned, put down the finished potion bottle, took the chocolate and took a small sip: "Thank you."
"Injured by a dementor?" Noah thought of the faint sound he heard yesterday.
It's strange. He studied the Obscurus during his vacation. It is indeed difficult to judge the Obscurus with the naked eye when it is not erupting. But since it is a parasitic magic product in the body, it should have more or less influence on this person's magic power. The impact is right. But the strange thing is that there is nothing wrong with Eve's magic power. Even Noah can't detect anything abnormal with detection magic after getting closer, as if there is no weird magic power in her body.
It seems that the Lestrange family has a special method of dealing with the Obscurus. This may be the reason why Eve can successfully live past the age of twelve and control the Obscurus.
Eve shook her head: "It was just a little affected and brought back some bad memories."
Noah Weidu, to be able to become the Obscurial, he must have very bad memories, and the more suffering he has experienced, the more deeply he will be affected by the dementors.
Eve suddenly looked at Noah: "Noah, have you ever had any bad memories?"
Noah was stunned. He didn't know why a magnified face suddenly flashed in his mind, along with a fleeting hoarse laugh.
