"Ai Wu Ji Wu, I fully understand the idea of ​​wanting to take care of the blood of an old friend."

"But you know James Potter, but you don't know his son, Harry Potter."

Lupine said angrily, "How dare you say that?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Eric laughed, "Do you know what kind of environment Harry grew up in? Do you know which Muggle school Harry attended before coming to Hogwarts? "

"Did you know Harry couldn't get a full meal at his aunt's?"

"Did you know that Harry slept in a closet with a moldy quilt before he knew he was a wizard?"

"These words were told to me by Harry himself after I met him at the Leaky Cauldron."

"Even a me who I have never met before can be the object of Harry's confidant, and at that time, where were you?"

"By the way, Harry came to the Leaky Cauldron by himself because he magically attacked his Muggle aunt, and he did so because the Dursleys insulted Harry's parents. "

"Do you still think, do you know Harry?"

Eric's tone hardly changed, it was flat and unusual, but every word was serious.

Under Eric's repeated words, Lupine's face turned pale almost instantly, and he couldn't refute at all.

Lupine stared blankly at Harry, only to realize that the boy opposite was somewhat thinner than his peers. Even after staying in Hogwarts for two years, he could still see the poor life in his face. shadow.

"I... God, I never knew..."

Lupine looked at Harry in shock.

Before Eric could answer, Harry also heard the conversation between the two. At this time, he had calmed down a little, his eyes were red, but he looked extremely determined, and hurriedly said: "Professor! That's what I want to know. of!"

"Eric didn't have any malice towards me. He told me everything because of my strong request."

"Harry..." Lupine squeezed his palms, not knowing what to say, and finally could only say, "I'm sorry..."

After finishing speaking, Lupine looked at Eric again, and said in a voice that only he and Eric could hear clearly: "We have to talk."

Eric was noncommittal, even when he refuted Lupin just now, he kept a gentle smile on his face, and his attitude was always calm.

Only in this way, in this compartment, only Eric can notice that the temperature in the air has become lower and lower without knowing it.

Chapter 37 The Dementor Attacks

The night is getting darker and the sunset is completely invisible.

After Lupine and Eric stopped talking, the compartment fell into silence again.

Harry was depressed, and Lupine wanted to talk to Harry, but after being pointed out by Eric, he didn't know how to start, so he could only forcefully find topics, but there were not many, and after talking with Harry Ron separately After a few words, he gave up.

And with Lupine present, Harry couldn't open his mind to chat with Eric, so he could only chat with Ron in a low voice about Quidditch, which the rest of the people were not interested in.

On the contrary, Hermione kept staring curiously at Eric with his eyes closed.

The atmosphere in the cubicle seemed a little depressing.

"You...do you feel that it's a little cold?"

After a long time, Ron finally broke the silence and said hesitantly.

This sentence just rightly shifted the attention of several people from the conversation between Eric and Lupine to the temperature.

As if cooperating with Ron's words, the headlights suddenly flickered very strangely, making a crackling sound.

A moment later, before anyone could use the Lighting Charm, the headlights came on again, illuminating the compartment again.

Not only the compartment where Eric was in, but almost at the same time, all the compartments in the entire train car had such weird changes.

The change in the car lights couldn't help but cause a burst of exclamations from everyone around. Even Ron and Harry were startled and screamed.

Just after the lights flashed, everyone in the carriage heard the train's whistle, followed by the sound of rails rubbing against each other.

Gradually, the Hogwarts Express actually stopped directly on the tracks.

Such a change, of course, caused a panic in the surrounding area.

"What's going on? We haven't arrived at the station yet." Ron looked around.

Faintly, the voices of various prefects maintaining order came from outside the cubicle, which made Ron even more nervous.

He involuntarily looked at Harry and Hermione, as well as Lupine and Eric who were sitting across from him. He wanted to stand up several times to go outside to see what was going on, but finally he saw Eric's still calm demeanor, Just sat back on the chair.

And Lupine's performance was similar to Eric's, as if he knew that there would be such a change.

Hermione raised her head suddenly, looked at the position of the headlights, and asked in surprise, "What is that?"

Except for Eric, the rest of the people looked up together, only to find that a thin layer of frost had formed on the glass cover of the headlight, fogging the headlight cover.

In fact, not only the headlights above the head, starting from the doors, to the glass on the windows, all began to frost without exception.

Everyone clearly noticed the sudden drop in temperature.

This is not a step-by-step process, it is more like suddenly getting off the whole train and driving into a world full of ice and snow.

Ron was wearing unlined clothing, already shivering, with his arms wrapped around his chest, and Harry and Hermione were similar.

Lupine and Eric, one in a suit jacket and the other in a school gown, were okay, but they couldn't take it anymore.

At this moment, Eric opened his eyes slightly and said with a chuckle, "It's finally here."

Lupine gave Eric a surprised look.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, exhaling a puff of white air from his mouth.

I don't know if it was because of discussing his parents with Lupine just now, Harry also became nervous.

"It's all right, stay still, Harry, stay in your chair."

Lupine answered Harry's question in Eric's place, then stood up, took his wand out of his pocket, and pointed it straight at the cubicle door.

The next moment, the compartment door was pushed open again.

This time, it wasn't a person who came in, but a huge gray "creature" floating on the ceiling.

Harry only saw a huge cloak, fluttering along the ceiling of the compartment.

It was hard to describe what it was, at least Harry had never seen such a creature before.

It has no feet, and it flies in mid-air. Its whole body looks like it has been soaked in water, exposing its rotten and knotty palms, and no part of its skin is intact.

Harry couldn't see the creature's face clearly, but could feel a menacing gaze locked on him through the cloak.

The moment he felt this gaze, many bad memories suddenly flooded into Harry's mind.

His mind was in a mess, as if it had been stirred vigorously with malice.

Harry wanted to cry, wanted to scream, but couldn't control his body at all.

In the cold, Harry began to shiver incessantly.

The same is true for Ron next to him.

Hermione was doing better, but she was still shivering and unable to look directly at the gray mass on the ceiling.

Suddenly, she looked at Eric opposite her in surprise.

Even an adult wizard like Lupine could see the discomfort in his heart from his ferocious expression.

Lupine's symptoms were better than those of the trio, but he could see that he was forcibly suppressing his fear.

However, Eric was completely unaffected, and still sat calmly on the chair, but his wand was taken out at some point, and it was quietly held in his hand.

"Dementors, magical creatures created purely to deprive others of their happiness."

Feeling Hermione's gaze, Eric chuckled and explained.

This calm voice rang in the ears of several people, but at this moment it seemed particularly harsh.

"Get out!" Lupine pointed his wand at the attacking dementor and growled, "There's nothing you want here!"

The dementor turned a deaf ear, and instead tried to keep going deeper into the compartment.

It moved a few steps in the air. On this side, Harry couldn't bear such a strong psychological pressure any longer. He passed out with a pale face and fell to the floor.

Ron screamed and tried to help the fallen Harry, but he also fell because of the cold.

Seeing this, Eric stood up, smiled at Lupine and said, "You can't negotiate with a dementor."

"The only thing they can understand is this."

Eric raised the acacia wand, regardless of Lupine's surprised eyes, and said loudly to the dementor in front of him: "Call God to protect you!"

A blinding white light burst out from the head of Eric's wand. At a very close distance, the dementor floating in the air felt the huge pressure from Eric's wand almost immediately. He immediately turned around and wanted to escape, but it was too late.

The white light emitted by Eric transformed into a shape, condensed into strands like smoke, and instantly enveloped the dementors in the compartment.

The next moment, the dementor was hit hard, its upper body collapsed as if hit head-on by a big truck, and it rolled backwards, being driven out of the compartment.

boom!

The departure of the dementor created a storm that completely blinded Lupine and the others in the compartment, and the luggage on the luggage rack was swept to the ground.

A sharp cry resounded through the entire carriage as the dementor left, shaking people's minds.

In the panic, Lupine barely opened his eyes, but saw a pair of huge white wings occupying the original position of the dementor, and the cry was made by the owner of the pair of wings.

That is……

Lupine's pupils contracted to the extreme, pale with shock.

A huge pure white bird of prey stayed in mid-air, maintaining the posture of exorcising the dementors. It spread its wings and filled the entire compartment. Its sharp eyes looked down from top to bottom, looking proudly at the creature who summoned it. Eric.

But Eric just smiled lightly and patted the wings of his patron saint.

Chapter 38 Crush Them

It's actually the patron saint of the entity!

Lupine's heart was shocked beyond measure.

How old is Eric, and he used the Patronus Charm in front of his face!

He had just heard Eric say the Patronus spell, and Lupine thought he had heard it wrong.

Unexpectedly, Eric actually summoned the Patronus.
