Suddenly, there was a short and harsh creaking sound outside the door, and Harry saw a vague black outline.
Ron wiped a clean spot on the window glass and looked out.
"There's something moving there," Ron said tremblingly, "I guess people are walking out..."
The carriage door suddenly opened, and someone fell painfully into Harry's lap.
"I'm sorry! You...do you know what happened? Oops! I'm sorry-"
"Hello, Neville." Harry heard the voice and recognized the person. He touched Neville's coat in the dark and pulled him up, then pushed him to the opposite side——
Pushed to the row of seats next to Ron and Hermione.
. "Harry? Is that you? What happened?" Neville asked.
"I don't know! Sit first -"
There was a loud hiss and a cry of pain. It turned out that Neville had sat on Crookshanks by mistake.
"I was just going to ask the driver what was going on." This was Hermione's voice.
Harry thought she walked past him and heard the carriage door open again, followed by a dull thud and two more squeaks.
"Who? Who?"
"Ginny?"
"Hermione?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to see Ron—" Ginny said.
But Tiera, who had just used flesh and blood magic to evolve her heat-sensing ability, "saw" Ginny's body temperature rising slightly in the dark, and then walked towards Harry——
Come in, sit down -" Harry touched Ginny and pushed her towards Ron.
"Ouch!" Neville yelled again, obviously Ginny had accidentally stepped on his foot along the way.
"Quiet!" Suddenly a rough voice said. Professor Lupine seemed to have finally woken up.
None of them spoke again.
There was a slight crackle in the carriage and a trembling light appeared.
Professor Lupine appears to be holding a fire.
The firelight illuminated Professor Lupine's tired and gray face, but his eyes were alert and cautious.
"Stay where you are," he said, in the same gruff voice.
Then Lupine stood up slowly, the firelight in his hand stretched out in front of him.
But before he could reach the carriage door, it opened slowly.
Standing in the doorway, illuminated by the flickering firelight in Lupine's hand, was a cloaked monster as tall as the ceiling. Its face is completely hidden beneath the hood.
A hand emerged from the cloak. It shimmered, gray, thin, and scabbed, as if something had died and rotted in the water.
The monster under the cloak seemed to have noticed this carriage.
The withered and disgusting hand stretched out from the cloak again and waved in the corridor.
The compartment door that was locked from the inside was opened easily——
The monster poked its head out from the corridor, and it seemed to be attracted to someone inside.
The monster first approached Harry and "sniffed" it. It seemed a little moved, but still a little dissatisfied, so it turned to Tiera who was sitting next to Harry——
The dementor seemed to be attracted by some delicious food. He opened something under his hood and took a shaky breath——
Feel nothing.
Tiera felt nothing——
That's not quite accurate.
To be more accurate, Tiera felt a cool breeze blowing on her face.
After taking a sip, the Dementor was stunned for a moment.
I still want to get closer and take a second puff——
But then, a white light lit up behind Tiera——
A glowing and warm circle of light extended from the tip of Lupine's wand.
The aperture formed the shape of a shield——
The dementors who came into contact with the aperture seemed to be scalded by boiling water and exited the carriage screaming.
After a while, the lights above the carriage came on, and the floor shook——
The Hogwarts Express is on the move again.
"Are you...are you okay?" Harry asked nervously and then stretched out his hand to pull Tiera, "Just now, that monster suddenly came to you just now, and we were all frightened."
"It seems to have sucked something from you!" Ron also came over and said.
"I didn't..." Tiera glanced out of the corner of her eye and noticed that Lupine was also paying attention to her, so she had no choice but to control her body and shudder, and then turned pale——
"I feel so cold," Tiera said. "It's like all the happiness has disappeared."
"It's like I'm back to the time when I was bullied in the orphanage." Tiera glanced at Lupin and added.
"Here." Professor Lupine took out a large piece of chocolate from his pocket, then broke the large piece of chocolate into small pieces and handed it to Tiera, "Eat it, it will be good for you."
Then after thinking about it, Lupine broke off another large piece of chocolate and handed it to Harry: "Here, I'll give you a piece too."
"Thank you... thank you." Harry took the chocolate inexplicably, but didn't eat it.
"What was that just now?" Harry asked.
"A dementor," said Lupine, handing out chocolates to everyone. "The most vicious monster in the world, a dementor from Azkaban."
Everyone stared at him. Professor Lupine crumpled the empty chocolate wrapper into a ball and put it in his pocket.
"Eat it," he added. "It's good for you. I want to talk to the driver. Come and borrow it."
He walked past Harry and disappeared down the corridor.
"Are you sure you're okay, Tiera?" Hermione asked as soon as Lupine disappeared, looking at Tiera anxiously.
"It's okay." Tiera said, ate the chocolate in her hand, then wrapped herself in the wizard's robe, and sat where Lupine was sitting, leaning against the window.
"I'm just a little sleepy." Tiera closed her eyes and said, while recalling some of the knowledge she gained from the "Inheriters" in her memory palace -
After a few months passed, the spiritual dimension of the "Inheritor" was initially completed, and Tiera could already read some knowledge from it——
But it was just a drop in the bucket of knowledge that Tiera had to digest for a while.
"Let me sleep for a while." Tiera said.
About a quarter of an hour later, Professor Lupine made a circle and came back.
He paused when he came in, looked around, smiled slightly, and said: "I didn't poison the chocolate, you know..."
Harry also tried to take a bite, and to his great surprise, a warmth suddenly spread to the tips of his fingers and toes.
"We will be at Hogwarts in ten minutes." Professor Lupin said, then looked into Harry's eyes and stretched out his hand——
"Hello, Harry," said Lupine.
Harry could feel Lupin's hands were sweating -
But very warm.
Harry didn't ask Professor Lupin how he knew his name. Harry had heard too many unanimous opinions.
"Okay." Lupine whispered, as if he was embarrassed. As if, he was sitting on the seat near the door, next to Harry, rubbing his hands nervously.
They didn't talk much for the rest of the trip.
Finally, when the train finally stopped at Hogsmeade Village, Harry gently shook Tiera awake, and then several young wizards hurriedly cleaned up before finally setting foot on the platform of Hogsmeade Village.
