Chapter 240
No, it doesn't seem that the monster is really short. The monster that was able to touch the ceiling at first was like a snowman exposed to the scorching sun, struggling feebly, making a silent scream.
That terrible hiss tears everyone's hearts, and it shrinks bit by bit and diminishes bit by bit under everyone's painful gaze.
In the end, the terrible monster turned into a cloud of almost invisible smoke and was completely annihilated.
"As I said, the Dementor cannot interfere with the academy and cannot enter the academy. I will use force to ensure this." George said coldly.
George's cold voice was like sparks splashing, burning Ron profusely. He only hoped that George would return to his original condition as soon as possible, otherwise he would soon become a horrible condition like that dementor.
George's voice came from far away from the carriage, into the boundless darkness, as if received by something.
Then, the lights on the train and the luggage rack turned on, and the carriage returned to calm and serenity.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The sound of the siren relieved the embarrassment, and the train started to clamber again, and everything returned to its original state.
"What was that just now?" Harry's voice was very weak. He just seemed to be walking between the netherworld and the inferno. The cold and the heat exhausted his energy.
"That was the dementor, the guard of Azkaban." A sickly, exhausted stranger walked in. He was wearing a shabby wizard robe, his face looked very young, his light brown hair was a little gray, a strange person.
He continued, "I am Remus John Lupin, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor."
Lupin looked at George again and said, "I didn't expect that the current students have become so good. Have you really taken Defence Against the Dark Arts class before?"
When the train situation just appeared, he came out to look at the situation and saw the students' amazing performance. The students at Hogwarts have become so strong? In that case, a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts class is really not good.
"He is special, and George is the best student ever at Hogwarts." Ron immediately distinguished himself from the special crowd. He could not do these things at all.
"I'm Ron Weasley, this is Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter." Ron introduced everyone to Professor Lupin.
"Harry Potter!" Professor Lupin looked a little dazed, as if he had suddenly remembered something, but he quickly recovered and said, "You seem to be in a bad condition, you can try this."
Professor Lupin took out a large piece of chocolate from his body, pulled one down and handed it to Harry, "This is chocolate, eating it will help you."
Harry looked at George. George nodded and said, "Chocolate can replenish calories. You almost passed out just now. It consumes a lot. It will help you."
Harry chewed on the chocolate. The sweet taste made him feel better. He said embarrassedly, "Don't you think dementors are scary?"
He almost fainted, he had completely lost his resistance, but everyone else was fine, which made Harry feel a little embarrassed. He was obviously not a weak person, why was he almost fainted by a monster.
"It's terrible, I felt a little cold when that thing came in." Hermione nodded and said.
"That monster makes me feel very uncomfortable." Ron twisted, "I feel as if I can't be happy anymore."
"Dementors can absorb people's happiness and magnify people's negative emotions. Obviously, Harry, you are not a happy enough person. You have accumulated too many negative emotions. When you meet a dementor, you immediately arouse all the sadness. And fear."
George spoke softly, pointing out the reason for Harry's violent reaction.
In fact, it's not just Harry, why do you think George overreacts to the Dementors?
Except as he said, the Dementor was a force behind the Ministry of Magic who tried to invade Hogwarts's hand.
Once Hogwarts let the Dementors enter the school, Hogwarts’ autonomy was immediately lost. The guards of Azkaban could walk around Hogwarts at will. The students were attacked by the Dementors. How far can I be caught in Azkaban?
For another reason he didn't say, the Dementor would also have an effect on him. As a person who lived in his twenties in his previous life, lived in a stressful country, and died of overwork, how could he have no negative memories?
Of course, as a powerful wizard, a powerful wizard who can control his emotions and thoughts, he will not be as weak as Harry. But the huge negative memory hidden in his heart made it difficult for him to control his anger when facing the dementor.
Whether it is for the autonomy of the academy or to ensure his own mood, he cannot allow the dementor to appear in front of him. He just burned a dementor by cruel means is a warning to the forces behind the scenes.
Professor Lupin looked at Harry distressedly and said, "You should think more about happy things. Long-term negative emotions will hurt you." He pulled down a piece of chocolate and handed it to Harry, and said, "Here is a piece. Okay, sorry, I'm going to share the rest to other classmates."
He turned to leave and disappeared in the corridor.
Ron patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't be sad, everything will be fine."
"Some good things happen every day. For example, today, the beginning of school is a happy thing." Hermione said briskly, trying to make Harry happy.
"Thank you, I'm fine." Harry stuffed another piece of chocolate into his mouth, chewing on the sweet taste, and a warm stream flowed from his stomach to his whole body.
It was not because of weakness that he showed weakness, which made him a little easier. But the accumulated negative emotions, he has nothing to do. Unless he clears his memory, the darkness and coldness of the past will always accompany him for a lifetime.
He was already trying not to think about the past, but facing the Dementor, his efforts were vulnerable.
"It seems that you must learn the patron saint curse as soon as possible this year." George immediately made a decision.
In fact, at first he wanted Harry and the others to learn Animagus as soon as possible. The Animagus he transformed was much stronger than the current Animagus.
This is a powerful magic application that he has not successfully transformed until recently. If he could master this change last year, dealing with the group of eight-eyed giant spiders would only be easier and easier without wasting so much material.
However, in the face of the current situation where dementors are stationed in the academy, it is more urgent to quickly master the curse of the patron saint than to learn Animagus.
