"Harry! Harry! Are you okay?" Someone slapped him in the face.

Harry opened his eyes. Everything returned to normal-the train continued to move, the lights were on, he sat up from his seat, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and stared blankly at the scene inside the car.

Ron and Hermione were the closest to him, Neville was looking at him worriedly, Ginny curled up in the corner.

Lupin took out a plate of chocolate from his pocket and split it among everyone.

"This is yours, Harry. Also, a very good disarming spell."

Harry took a large bar of chocolate, and he suddenly asked, "Did I faint...no, that woman—was she rescued?"

"Who?" Lupin asked casually.

"It's that when the weird thing with a headscarf came out, there was a woman, who should be an adult, she..." Harry was suddenly at a loss, and there was only one adult woman on the train, the witch pushing the food trolley.

But what he heard was not this voice.

Lupin's hand froze in place, and he murmured and left a sentence: "I'm going to talk to the driver, I'm sorry..." hurriedly left.

The door slammed shut.

"Harry?" Hermione looked at him worriedly.

He forced himself to calm down, sat back in his seat, took a bite of chocolate, and a warm current spread all over his body, which made him feel happy again.

"Can anyone tell me what just happened?" Harry asked.

"We felt the cold, as if we had fallen into an ice hole. Then we saw your spell, the dazzling red light... the cold subsided a bit, and then you fell to the ground. Professor Lu Ping said to someone: here Without hiding Sirius Black, he raised his wand and emitted a silver-white light. Then the cold wave subsided completely and the train continued to move." Hermione described what she saw.

Harry chewed the chocolate in silence. He didn't care much about it. He just wanted to learn the clues of the female voice from other people, but it disappointed him.

Everyone's expressions are not good, Ginny sobbed in a low voice, and Neville murmured from the side: "It's terrible, I think of the worst memory."

"It's as if all happiness is leaving you." Ron answered, but he gave Harry a punch: "Your spell is awesome, Harry! We can teach Malfoy a lesson, the thought of him punching Get off and fly out, and I feel happy again."

"It's not my role..." Harry shook his head, and he cheered up again. "What is that cloak monster?"

"I guess it's a dementor, I've seen something similar in comic books, it's like a rotten piece without bones." Ron described.

Harry looked at Hermione. Among the three, Ron was the most familiar with the magical world, but had a very shallow understanding. Although most of Hermione's knowledge was found in books, it could provide more accurate information.

Hermione said: "Dementors are the guards responsible for guarding Azkaban. They feed on human positive emotions-especially happy emotions. Conventional spells are not effective against them. The only magic known to be useful is the Patronus Charm. ."

"The patron saint? Is it Professor Haipu's Swift, and Professor McGonagall's cat?" Harry asked.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Hermione and Ron said separately that Hermione had seen the patron saint of Swifts, Ron had seen the patron saint of Cats, and Harry was no stranger to both.

Then everyone did not speak, and after ten minutes, the train stopped.

But they didn't wait for Professor Lupin, "Let's go, he will remember to take the luggage."

hall.

Hagrid was dressed very formally, in a large suit, and his hair and beard were carefully managed: "How do I look, Felix?"

"……Excellent."

With tears rolling in Hagrid's eyes, he switched the umbrella in his hand to the left, took a dirty handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the corner of his eye. "It's great... I have been looking forward to such a day."

Not only will he be appointed as the professor of the Fantastic Beast Conservation Course, but he will also wash away his stigma-Dumbledore submitted a complete chain of evidence, from the testimony of the monster, the murderer, and Myrtle herself in the secret room incident. The Ministry of Magic did not For any reason to block, the ban fifty years ago had to be revoked.

Hagrid received two punishments for "suspecting the murderer of Myrtle": he was expelled and his wand was broken. Some even suggested that he be sent to Azkaban because of Dumbledore's mediation.

And now that the ban is lifted, he can use the wand with integrity.

Felix looked at the big red umbrella in his hand, "Is your magic wand hidden here? I wanted to say it a long time ago, it's a great hidden idea."

Hagrid raised his hand. "It was Dumbledore who helped me fix it. I have been scrupulous, you know...Theoretically, my wand has been broken by the Ministry of Magic."

Felix looked at him with a strange expression. He said softly, "Dumbledore fixed your wand? The one that was broken?"

"He's really an all-rounder, isn't he?" Hagrid said happily.

"Yeah, that's right," Felix agreed.

After a while, Hagrid walked out of the auditorium to welcome the new students, and the professors were also doing the final preparations. Professor McGonagall is communicating with a house elf in the kitchen about the dinner.

"It's all ready, Professor."

"Very good, thanks for your hard work."

Before long, the little wizards from the second to seventh grades rushed in. The auditorium was full of voices, and Felix felt as if there were hundreds of baboons clamoring excitedly.

But his gaze fell on a wizard--

He is wearing a shabby robe, with patches on the corners and corners of the robe, suggesting that the owner is destitute; he looks tired and may have just got rid of a trouble; his face is still young, but his brown hair Already mixed with white hair...

Professor McGonagall walked to the wizard, welcomed him warmly, and led him to the teacher's seat.

A strong hatred sight fell on the wizard, and Felix saw the silver fork in Snape's hand bent in half.

Professor McGonagall introduced the wizard to the professors, but she deliberately avoided Snape.

Soon, she came to Felix.

"Felix, this is Remus Lupin, who was once my student. He is a very friendly and gentle person. You will get along well." Professor McGonagall said.

Felix and Lupin looked at each other, and a trace of inquiry flashed in their eyes.

Felix hooked his mouth, and he stretched out his hand: "Hello, Professor Lupin, I heard Professor McGonagall mention you before. You should be her best student?"

Lu Ping also stretched out his hand, "I'm just the most inconspicuous one. On the train, I heard many rumors about Professor Haipu..."

"I hope it's not a weird remark."

"No, how come? Their praise of you makes me a little bit jealous."

The hands of the two were held together until Lupin took the initiative to let go.

Soon, Hagrid arrived with a freshman who looked like a rookie. To Felix's surprise, it was not Professor McGonagall who presided over the sorting ceremony. He looked around and did not see her.

Professor Flitwick is holding a sorting hat and a roll of parchment, and a small stool floats behind him.

He passed by the new students one by one, and while the wands were waving, the new students found that their wet clothes became dry and comfortable, as if they had been toasted by the noon sun.

"Get in a row and come with me."

Little wizards stepped forward in the order of their surnames and waited for the sorting, but the first thing that greeted them was the song carefully crafted by the sorting hat~www.novelhall.com~ The young freshmen watched the sorting hat sing emotionally.

This may be the deepest impression that Hogwarts has left on them so far.

The branch began--

"Newman Barker."

"Gryffindor!"

"Oliver Dyna."

"Hufflepuff!"

"Grantham Foley."

"Ravenclaw!"

"Astoria Greengrass."

"Slytherin!"

"Dennis Crevy."

"Gryffindor!"

...

At the end of the sorting ceremony, Felix noticed Harry and Hermione slipping from the corner to the Gryffindor seat. Professor McGonagall also appeared later.

Then Principal Dumbledore got up and gave a speech, his welcome speech was as concise as always.

After stepping into the topic, he solemnly explained the existence of dementors, "They will be stationed at all entrances of the school to perform the official duties of the Ministry of Magic. During their stay, no one is allowed to leave the school without permission."

"Dementors do not accept any tricks and deceptions-including invisibility cloaks, and they cannot distinguish between justifications and excuses, so don't give them a chance to hurt you. The prefects and the two student council chairpersons, you have to make sure that any students Do not conflict with the dementors."

When the little wizards had digested this information, Dumbledore happily introduced the two new professors, in his words--

Hagrid stood up and waved excitedly, and a series of red sparks flew from his red umbrella. The students responded enthusiastically, especially the applause from the Gryffindor seat.

"We should have known it long ago!" Ron roared, thumping the table vigorously, "Who else would let us get a book that bites people"

After the dinner, the students filed out of the auditorium, accompanied by lively discussions.
