Harry's disappearance
Avery was knocked unconscious by Anne, while Hermione blocked the gap, burning the army of Inferi with Fiendfyre to prevent them from boarding the train.
All the students breathed a sigh of relief, feeling finally safe.
Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone looked up.
After a series of attacks, the roof of the car was completely destroyed.
But that's not the point. The point is that the sky suddenly darkened, and a thick, dark cloud appeared.
That wasn't a dark cloud, but... Dementor.
They came in large numbers, blotting out the sky, their dense darkness resembling a black body that did not reflect radiation.
Such an astonishing effect... the number of those Dementor wasn't just dozens, not even hundreds, but at least four or five hundred!
This shows just how rampant the Dementor ' reproduction has been during this period!
The entire sky darkened, and a heavy sense of despair enveloped all the students.
Harry used to feel like he was going to faint whenever he faced Dementor.
This feeling isn't just his; it's shared by all the students!
The Dementor floated over swiftly and silently, inhaling the emotions in the air as they went.
Harry forced himself to think of happy things, raised his wand, and shouted:
"Expecto Patronum!"
But the wand only flashed faintly before the light disappeared.
Not only him, but many wizards who had successfully used the Patronus Charm in normal circumstances, including Slughorn, were unable to summon it at this moment.
There were simply too many Dementor, and they made everyone's spirits incredibly low.
Despair gripped everyone; they seemed to see the massacre that was about to unfold.
Just then, William suddenly appeared inside the carriage.
Dressed entirely in crimson, the original color of his clothes was no longer discernible. He carried the corpse of a Death Eaters in his hand.
William threw out the Death Eaters and wiped the blood off his face.
He arrived just in time; naturally, it was because he was about to arrive that the Little Black Robe ordered the attack.
As a spy, it naturally had to put on a convincing act.
William pointed his wand slightly, and flames rose in the air, like a huge, warm lasso, encircling the Inferi.
The Inferi collided with each other, disoriented and trying to escape the flames surrounding them.
Then, another enormous silver sea eagle burst forth from the tip of the wand.
The students felt a warm atmosphere descend upon them once again.
The eagle charged proudly toward the Dementor, but only managed to hold out for a moment before being completely swallowed up.
William's voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire train.
"All the students recalled happy memories, and then shouted along with me..."
"Expecto Patronum!!"
William's words gave everyone hope and calmed them down.
This place feels less like a train and more like Defence Against Dark Magic class.
Hermione was the first to raise her wand.
Anne, who had subdued Avery, instinctively grabbed her wand and raised it high upon hearing that familiar voice.
Regardless of whether her brother could hear her, the little girl shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Expecto Patronum!"
All the students, including the first-year wizards, raised their wands and shouted:
"Expecto Patronum!"
More than 500 Inferi broke through the gap and crawled into the train.
William raised his wand, and in an instant, all the silver light converged on him.
William was like a lighthouse in the darkness; he was the light itself.
A giant sea eagle, over forty meters tall, finally materialized.
It spread its wings, completely covering the entire train and enveloping every student.
All the power of joy converged to form Patronus that burst forth from the broken vehicle and charged straight at the Dementor.
Its power and strength were unmatched by any Patronus they had ever seen.
The eagle suddenly expanded, like a lonely moon lying horizontally across the earth at night.
William said coldly, "Get out!"
The seven Dementor, running side by side, were about to crash into the train when they seemed to have struck a wall as hard as iron, their bodies shattering into pieces.
The Little Black Robe had already run away; he didn't dare approach him at all.
No Dementor understood that man's terror better than it.
That powerful magical force spread across the tracks, stirring up countless fragments of rock.
The train finally started slowly, gradually accelerating as it passed over the road stained with blood, littered with the corpses of Troll and Orc.
night,
A dilapidated train stopped at Hogsmeade Station.
A large group of young wizards, survivors of the ordeal, stumbled off the train.
Many people even felt their legs go weak, nearly fell over, and then started crying.
We've finally arrived at Hogwarts.
Do you know how nerve-wracking it was to ride that day in an open-top train, feeling the cold wind?!
However, once the wind and rain stopped, many students felt confident again and began to discuss the attack on the road with great enthusiasm.
They were having a very serious discussion about just how much stronger Stark was than You-Know-Who.
Just how many times stronger is he than Grindelwald?!
Although they had never met Grindelwald or the You-Know-Who, that didn't stop them from praising William so highly.
William's rallying cry now likely garners considerable support for him to become the school principal.
That's prestige!
Slughorn is one of the best among them.
Because he discovered that William was indeed incredibly powerful.
With him around, what do I have to be afraid of?
Tom, you dare come to Hogwarts and bite me!
That's how tough we are.
Even later in the trip, he invited William to a party.
However, William refused, citing his need to rest.
Slughorn also expressed his understanding... After such a great deal of exertion, he definitely needed to rest.
However... he soon saw William directing Qiu and the others to sell Akali's Mystery Shop products on the train.
Slughorn comforted himself, thinking that William had gone to great lengths to distract the students and help them overcome their fear.
Of course, there were also gossipy students, especially when they recalled that Stark seemed to have hooked up with the Muggle Queen's granddaughter during the summer vacation.
And then Veela from Beauxbatons that year, and that long-legged witch who sailed the ship...
Uncle, Uncle, how many girlfriends does Stark actually have?
William himself was not so relaxed. As the president of the male student council, he began to have the Prefect count the number of students after getting off the train.
Wherever William went, everyone stared at him as if he were a god.
Amidst the clamor, a dim oil lamp appeared in the distance.
But the visitor was not Hagrid, but Professor Snape.
Oh... wrong, it should be "Little Defence Against Dark Magic Substitute Teacher".
Snape temporarily took over Hagrid's duties and came to greet the young wizard.
Whether it was because Hagrid had something to do or because the substitute teacher's salary was too low, Snape had to work two jobs.
He didn't seem to be in a good mood.
His hooked nose and greasy, jet-black hair, in particular, appeared even more melancholic under the bright orange-yellow light.
William had already written to the school, so Snape wasn't surprised to see the train in such a terrible state.
He even went to see the Dark Lord once after the mission failed.
"Shut up, first-year students, come with me!"
In fact, given Snape's aura, no student dared to speak even before he did.
He seemed more terrifying than the Inferi and the Dementor.
But before Snape could leave with the young wizard, William approached him with the compiled list.
Snape received another unpleasant surprise:
His adorable and charming "godson," Harry Potter... has gone missing.
