Chapter 284: Arriving in the Countryside Like a Loser

When Les and Helga, one after the other, cleaned up the Dementors that came to search the Hogwarts Express like mowing the grass, the train started again, and the lights in the compartment and corridor returned to normal.

Before Les's vision was restored, he rushed back to the compartment.

"What happened outside?"

"Just now there was a big explosion."

As soon as he returned to the compartment, Les was surrounded by Daphne and Astoria, who looked a little pale. The two chattered and asked questions, very eager to know what happened outside.

Les did not answer the two questions immediately, but looked at Neville, whose face was pale, and asked him how he was.

"I feel fine, but just now I couldn't help but think of some very... bad things." Neville wiped the cold sweat on his face, and his tone revealed a hint of weakness.

Astoria glanced at Neville: I had a similar feeling just now, but the reaction was not as severe as Neville. But if the coldness just now lasted a little longer, it would be hard to say.

The girl was very sure that it was Rice who solved the source of the cold. He was always so reliable.

"How about you? Are you okay?" After asking about Neville's situation, Rice turned his eyes to Astoria.

"Yeah, no problem." Astoria nodded, suppressed the slight discomfort that had just surged in her heart, and showed a lively look.

"That's good." Rice sat back in his seat.

"What about me, what about me? Don't you need to ask about my situation?" Daphne saw that the other two were asked, and she was skipped, so she immediately chose to jump out and ask.

Rice glanced at her and didn't say anything - this guy is as healthy as a fire dragon. There must be something wrong with the way the Sorting Hat sorts houses. Why would a guy like Daphne be sorted into Slytherin! ?

He silently took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, and then broke it and gave it to the three of them.

"Sweets can help you get rid of negative emotions. This is a preference engraved in our souls."

"So what was outside just now?" Chocolate could not shut Daphne's mouth, nor could it extinguish her curiosity.

"A creature called Dementor. Don't worry, I have already dealt with them."

Hearing the term "Dementor", the three little wizards in the carriage raised their heads at the same time.

Les:?

"You all look like you know what this is?"

"It's the guards of the wizard prison Azkaban." Les got the answer from Astoria.

Les thought about it and thought that their appearance should be related to Sirius.

Maybe the Ministry of Magic has a good idea. In other words, Les also supports the use of Dementors to search the Hogwarts train, but it must be searched under the supervision of Ministry officials, not like just now.

You still need to leash your dog when walking it, and you dare to let the dark creature act alone? ! What's in your head? If you don't want a brand new brain, you can sell it to a potion maker.

The train arrived at Hogsmeade Station a quarter of an hour after it restarted.

When the train finally stopped, a chaotic and noisy sound suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the carriage. The little wizards walked towards the platform outside in groups of three or five with their pets.

The rain caused the temperature outside to drop sharply, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the platform. The water droplets hit people and quickly soaked the students' wizard robes. Hagrid called out to the first-year students as in previous years. His voice was extremely loud and could still resound throughout the platform without the blessing of magic.

"You go first, I have something to deal with here." Seeing that there were fewer people in the corridor outside, Les directly asked the three little wizards to leave first, and he deliberately fell behind.

He wanted to have a good chat with Hufflepuff on the way to school.

"I--" Daphne was about to say something, but Astoria pulled her sleeve and dragged her out of the carriage.

"Astoria, you--"

"Shh." Astoria glared at Daphne, took out two copper pieces from her bosom, put them next to her sister's ears, and put one on herself.

"What is this?" Seeing that Neville was trying to stuff his toad into his bosom and didn't notice the little movements of the two, Daphne asked in a low voice.

Astoria took out her wand and tapped the copper pieces twice to activate the copper pieces worn by the two.

"A little gadget I figured out during the holiday. I just put one in Les's hood when he wasn't paying attention. These three copper pieces are connected to each other by my magic. As long as Les is talking, we can hear it here."

Les:...

Astoria's voice sounded in his hood, so he could hear it clearly.

He scratched his head and took the copper piece out of his hat.

The girl's idea was pretty good, very creative, the only drawback was that the sound of the copper sheet was transmitted in both directions...

"Get off early, or you'll be out of the Thestral carriage later."

Daphne, Astoria:?!

The two froze in place.

"Astoria, this thing of yours, can Les hear us talking?!" Daphne asked angrily.

"Yes." Les' voice rang in their ears.

"This shouldn't be the effect in the design!" Astoria's brain stopped thinking, she really didn't know which link had a problem.

She could only take off the copper sheet and close it, and then fled the train compartment like a fly. She couldn't face Les again in a short time.

After the children got off the train, Les walked out of the carriage slowly, and then saw Hufflepuff leaning against an eaves to avoid the rain on the platform where there was almost no one.

"Let's go?"

Hufflepuff came over, and the raindrops fell on her like falling on a layer of oil film, sliding away, and even her clothes were not wet. Les looked up at the sky, drove the magic power, and built a thin layer of water film above the two heads, thus completely isolating the trouble of raindrops.

Hufflepuff was not in a hurry to go to Hogwarts with Rice, but stood there, carefully looking at the scenery around Hogsmeade Station.

"It has changed so much. Everything around here is only familiar with the outline of the mountains." After taking in the surrounding scenery, Hufflepuff sighed.

At this moment, the only person who can resonate with her is probably Lan Keren, right?

Others watched a game of chess, and decades passed unknowingly, but she took a risk and was taken to a thousand years later.

Hufflepuff clenched his fists.

Rice was not panicked at all: It's raining now, and the advantage is mine!

"This village was built by your students, called Hengis, right? He opened a tavern here." Rice remembered something and complained to Hufflepuff.

"Yes, and then we often had to go out of the castle in the middle of the night to catch those students who sneaked out to drink." Hufflepuff also remembered the stories of fighting wits and courage with students in those years.
