Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Chapter 224 The Terrifying Dementor

"This is your pet? A raven?"

The appearance of Raven Papi made Hermione's eyes bright. In many cultures, ravens and crows are ominous symbols. In some places, they are even called death because they always appear at the scene of death. bird.

But it is different in the Corrupt Country, especially in London, where the raven is a legally protected animal.

This is all due to the poor environment in London at the beginning of industrialization. The environmental pollution brought by industrialization turned the world's number one city into a foggy city. The raven, with its scavenging properties, became the city's scavenger.

London would have been even worse had it not been for a large number of ravens that wiped out a lot of carcasses and rubbish.

This has led many London families to instill in their children the notion that ravens are beneficial animals.

"Can I touch it?"

Hermione asked cautiously, Hermione has been very curious about this kind of scavenger bird since childhood, but unfortunately the vigilance and intelligence of this kind of bird are too high, she has never been in close contact with them. Chance.

"certainly!"

Papi was immediately furious when he heard the words, but he could only soften under the threat of Mike's eyes.

Hermione jumped up excitedly, and even forgot Crookshanks who was waiting for her master to pick her up on the ground, and went straight to touch Papi's little head.

Hermione was feeling cool here, but Penello suddenly came over.

"Mike, I found..."

Penello suddenly got stuck in the middle of his speech, staring straight at Mike and Hermione, making Mike's heart tremble when he saw it.

"Ahem~, Hermione, let's get here first today. We still have some business to do."

"Okay then, I'll go find Harry!"

Hermione seemed a little angry, snorted coldly and ran to Harry in the front compartment.

And Mike stood up with a smirk and went to Lupin's carriage with Penello.

The two of them didn't speak along the way, but when they were about to reach their destination, Penello suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh around Mike's waist.

After receiving the pain signal from the body, although it was not very painful, Mike immediately bent over and bowed, and at the same time exhaled a pain in his mouth, pretending to be seriously injured.

Penello couldn't see Mike's routine, and returned to the previous carriage at a glance at Mike. She was still working.

Seeing Penello walk away, the twisted expression on Mike's face immediately calmed down, and he took a breath and walked into the carriage where Lupin was.

This small carriage was full of four people, three freshmen at Hogwarts and an adult man sleeping with his head down.

The man was wearing a tattered wizard robe, and there were even several puddings on the robe. His bowed head was heaving and undulating with the jolting of the train, his face was as pale as paper, and he looked sick, as if he was motion sickness.

This is the man Mike was looking for, Remus Lupin.

It can be seen that the three freshmen are not bad-hearted. Seeing that there is a person sleeping in this compartment, they deliberately keep their voices low.

"Hey, how are you?"

"Uh, hello."

Mike greeted these freshmen warmly, and those freshmen seemed to be a little nervous because they didn't quite adapt to Mike's enthusiasm.

"I'm sorry, friends. You are in the wrong car. This is the professor's car." Mike pointed to Lupin, who was sleeping. "The freshman car should be at the front."

"But we've been there, and it's full."

These kind-hearted little wizards were obviously deceived by Mike, and they told Mike their difficulties with some embarrassment.

"How is that possible, there must be vacancies. I swear to you in the name of my Gryffindor prefect, Percy Weasley!"

"Then... that's fine. Let's go and see."

Mike watched the three little wizards walk away with a wicked smile.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind.

"Your behavior is horrible."

"I didn't lie to them, there is really room in the front compartment." Mike closed the compartment door and sat down. "Besides, I just want you to sleep better, Professor Lupin."

When Professor Lupin saw Mike reveal his identity, his sleepy eyes opened slightly, and then he yawned and said, "Who the hell are you, I don't remember a blond boy from the Weasleys."

"Okay, I knew I couldn't fool you." Mike laughed, then stood up and stretched out his right hand to the man and said, "Officially introduce, Mike Townley, a third grader of Ravenclaw."

Lupin was a little surprised by Mike's serious look, he instinctively stood up and stretched out his right hand. But then he shrank back, wiped his wizard robes, and then held Mike's hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Townley."

After the ceremony, the two of them sat down one after another. Just now, Lupin wiped his right hand, which touched Mike a lot, which was an expression of inferiority.

Mike's eyes flicked back and forth between Lupin's suitcase and body, and finally came to the conclusion that the professor's previous life was quite bitter.

This is not difficult to see. After all, Lupin is already aging before he gets old. Not only is his body thin, his wide robes are empty, and there are also a lot of white hairs on his head.

As for the tattered robe, Mike even suspected that it had been worn for more than ten years.

In order to curry favor with the professor Lupin, Mike put a lot of food in his carry-on traceless stretching spell bag. When he took out all the food, Mike found that Lupin's eyes suddenly lit up a lot.

Lupin eats very elegantly. Although he is very hungry now, he still chews slowly in front of Mike.

It was obvious that he was a well-educated man.

Mike made a judgment again.

No way, he is not a superman, and he only remembers a rough outline of the original story. He really doesn't know much about a supporting role like Lupin. Knowing that he is a master of the Patronus Charm is already the limit.

So now Mike can only try to understand the man in front of him through constant observation.

As the saying goes, eat people's mouths short. After eating the food that Mike brought, Lupin and Mike obviously got to know each other a lot. The two chatted all the way, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

However, when he was about to arrive at Hogwarts, Mike suddenly felt that the surrounding light quickly dimmed, and the train slowly stopped.

Mike's heart tightened, and the blackthorn pear wood wand appeared silently in his hand.

"Damn, how dare they!"

Opposite Lupin's reaction was more intense than Mike's, he stood up with a swipe, took out his wand and started looking out the window.

"A Dementor?"

"That's right! Mike, don't be afraid, it's absolutely fine with me!"

Lupin wasn't surprised at all that Mike knew about the Dementors. He had already known that Mike was Flitwick's proud disciple in the small talk just now, so it's not surprising to know these things.

The darkness came quickly, and in a short while, the outside of the car window had completely turned into pitch blackness that could not be seen, and at this time, the lights that were originally used for lighting in the car also suddenly went out, and the entire Hogwarts Express was plunged to the bottom. in the dark.

"Fluorescent flashes!"

Lupin and Mike unanimously released the lighting spell, and finally there was a ray of light in the dark carriage.

Lupin frowned as he heard the constant cries coming from other cars in the distance and said, "There's trouble over there, I'll go take a look first, Mike, take care of yourself."

"I'll go with you, my girlfriend is still in front." Mike explained that Lupin was a little worried, "Don't worry, I will also be the Patronus Charm."

'Although it's only half-baked. ' Mike added mentally.

Seeing this, Lupin no longer insisted, and took Mike directly to the front compartment.

As soon as the two got out of the carriage, they saw a black figure in a cloak floating over.

The shadow was tall and big, and its head almost reached the ceiling. At this moment, the shadow seemed to be in a good mood, and the hands stretched out from his large cloak were happily stretching out.

Mike felt that it was insulting to describe them with his hands. These claws shone coldly in the dark, and there were many spots on them, which looked like corpse spots.

Then, the monster raised its head and took a long breath. With the gurgling sound in its throat, Mike only felt that all the good emotions were constantly dissipating, and instead a biting chill was swept in.

The chill quickly eroded Mike's body, spreading from the skin to Mike's body little by little. In the end, Mike felt that his brain was almost frozen.

Mike began to feel dizzy for no reason. He could hear the terrified screams of the little wizards around him, but at the same time, there was a voice that kept ringing in his ears. Mike tried hard to hear it clearly, but that The voice was still vague.

"Call God Guard!"

A soft light pierced through the darkness like the dawn of dawn, pulling Mike back from the edge of the fall.

The chill dissipated, and the strong physical quality made Mike quickly recover, and what appeared in front of him at the moment was a light wolf suspended in mid-air, composed entirely of shining positive energy.

This light wolf was huge, brave and good at fighting. It raised its head in mid-air and howled silently before stepping into the air, rushing towards the dementor.

The dementor seemed to be very afraid of the white wolf, and fled the train with its slender claws covering its face.

"Are you alright Mike!"

Instead of directing his Patronus to chase the Dementor, Lupin asked about Mike's situation with concern.

At this moment, Mike felt that he was very bad. The threat of Dementors to him was higher than he imagined. At that moment, he felt a sense of despair.

Although his hands were still trembling, Mike nodded firmly and said, "It's okay, let's go to the front."

To Lupin, Harry's safety was obviously more important than Mike's. As soon as he heard Mike say that he was fine, Lupin didn't say anything more and hurriedly ran towards the carriage in front.

Seeing this, Mike gritted his teeth and threw a piece of chocolate into his mouth, chewing it hard, and followed.

The situation was worse than Lupin had estimated, and a dozen dementors boarded the train for inspection, wantonly sucking the happiness of the little wizards.

The move caused a huge uproar, and even though Lupin was doing his best to get rid of the dementors, the students on the train were still in chaos.

At this time, the benefits of the prefects and the student union system were reflected. The powerful prefects stood up to maintain order in times of crisis, and took the chocolates given by Mike and distributed them.

When Lupin and Mike arrived in the carriage where Harry was, Harry was already surrounded by a large circle of people.

"Get out of the way and let me see! I'm a professor!"

At this time, Lupin couldn't care about keeping a low profile anymore, he squeezed into the crowd shouting that I was a professor, and the scene that appeared in front of him when he successfully reached the center of the crowd almost made him collapse.

I saw Harry pale, lying silently in Hermione's arms, not knowing whether to live or die.

Lupin put his hand on Harry's neck like lightning, and let out a sigh of relief after confirming that Harry was not dead but just fainted.

"Professor, Harry, is he all right?"

Hermione sobbed and asked Lupin, and Lupin said with a relaxed expression, "It's okay, he just passed out."

After that, Lupin took out a half-eaten piece of chocolate from the ragged robe and said to Hermione, "When he wakes up, let him eat this, chocolate can make people happy."

Leaving such a sentence, Lupin quickly ran to the front of the car. He is very busy now, and there are dementors raging in the car in front.

On the other hand, Mike quickly came to Penello's carriage while Lupin was checking Harry.

As he expected, there was also a dementor in the carriage where Penello was absorbing the happiness of the students. This group of dementors definitely planned, otherwise they would not be able to hunt down their hunting area one by one. so clearly divided.

Mike's eyes kept searching in the carriage, and finally found Penello in a corner. At this moment, she was curling up with three children, looking in horror at the approaching Dementor.

Maybe the chocolate he just ate had the effect, or maybe it was Penello's terrified expression that gave Mike strength, and Mike raised his wand with the time he and Penello were together flashing in his mind.

"Call God Guard!"

A bright haze emerged from the tip of Mike's staff, slowly drifting towards the Dementor.

This light attracted the attention of everyone in the car, Penello turned his head and saw Mike, his eyes lit up instantly, and then roared:

"Run! Mike!"

Mike ignored Penello's cry, trying his best to remember the things that could make you happy, and at the same time approached the Dementor with his wand aloft.

The light brought by the Patronus Charm obviously made the Dementor uncomfortable, but it was only discomfort, and it was far from enough to dispel him.

Under the pressure of Mike, it slowly covered its face and slowly retreated, but was unwilling to escape, and roared at Mike from time to time.

It hates these pure foods!

In Azkaban, they can only repeatedly absorb the joy of those prisoners every day, and the quality of the joy of those prisoners is really worrying because they are repeatedly sucked by them. Now they see how easy it is to give up fresh food.

One person and one blame were so stalemate, Mike felt the magic power that was passing quickly in his body and secretly said that it was not good.

If this continues, he will be dragged to death sooner or later.

At this moment, Mike only felt a warmth coming from behind him, and before he could turn his head to look, he saw a huge light wolf rushing past him towards the dementor.

Lupin is here!
