People in Hogwarts, holding scripts and systems

Chapter 133 Theodore and Brace

"Main quest: Use the modification card to successfully repel the Dementors. Reward: 100 points, one modification card. Failure: deduct 100 points."

Hearing the mission announcement again helped Afro come out of his sad mood.

After about a second of pause, she opened the system panel and found the text of the current plot.

Everything in the box was paused, everyone maintained the same action, even the Dementor's cloak maintained a perfect curve.

Afro found the passages "The Dementor came close to Harry's face..." and "Lupin raised his wand and chanted the spell..."

They were changed to "The Dementors pressed their faces against each other..." and "Lupin lifted Scabbers and smashed them at them..." respectively.

Dementor A suddenly stuck to Dementor B's face. Dementor B was shocked and pushed it away. The Dementor was pushed away and hit the wall of the carriage with a bang.

A huge explosion made them all jump. Harry, who was originally immersed in strange memories, slid under the chair, and Ron saw a brown afterimage in front of his eyes.

"Banban~"

Ron watched his pet being thrown out of the window by the new professor, while Lupin stared at his own hand in disbelief.

He was clearly holding his own wand! How did it turn into a mouse?

Afro, who was known for his great achievements, squatted down, helped Harry up from the ground, and put on his glasses that had fallen on the chair.

"This is how the same thing?"

The box suddenly became bright again. Percy and Cedric looked at each other blankly, not yet understanding how the scene before them had changed.

"Harry, you are so timid, unlike me! Ha!" Draco sat on the chair, hugged his arms and mocked Harry who was lying motionless on the ground.

If you ignore his frightened pale face and the slightly trembling fingers hidden under his arms, everything seems quite convincing.

Aphrodite was too lazy to expose the disguise of the arrogant young master. She helped Harry back to his seat and patted Draco who refused to leave.

"Young Master, you should go back."

"I'm not going back. It's lively here with so many people." Draco occupied Afro's seat with an expression that said, "I'm not leaving. What can you do to me?"

The small box had already reached its limit of 9 people. It was difficult for people in the box to turn around, and finally Percy and Cedric, who were in charge, took the initiative to leave.

Lupin pulled out a bar of chocolate from his pocket, broke off a piece and handed it to Harry, then left the compartment as well, escorting the frightened Neville back to his own compartment.

"Thank you." When Harry regained consciousness, the carriage had returned to normal. He took the chocolate but didn't eat it. Instead, he asked Afro if she wanted to eat it.

Afro pushed away the chocolate that Harry was offering to her mouth and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

Harry turned his head to look at the door of the carriage, and there was no shadow there. He seemed to have heard someone screaming, a very miserable scream, and a green light.

"What was that shadow just now?"

"Dementors."

After hearing Aphrodite's answer, Draco's body trembled unconsciously. He felt his throat was a little dry, and his words trembled.

"Why are the Dementors here?"

"Is it because of Sirius?" The always smart Hermione immediately thought of the news, and her ambiguous gaze fell on Harry, who was lowering his head to share chocolate with Aphrodite.

"Sirius Black?" Draco screamed at the top of his lungs. How could that lunatic come to Hogwarts? Why hadn't the Ministry of Magic caught him yet?

"Harry, he might be coming for you." Hermione, who was straightforward, never concealed her speculation. She just wanted to remind Harry to be careful.

Harry kept his head down and said nothing for the rest of the journey. He was wondering why everyone was saying Sirius was going to kill him.

Is it just because he is that person's follower?

Avro wanted to comfort Harry, but was stopped by the system. Until Lupin came back, the box remained eerily silent.

The train stopped with a long whistle, and Harry, who was worried, felt for the first time that Hogwarts was not warm.

Draco, who was going to get his luggage, returned to the Slytherin compartment before getting off the train. Feeling cold, Harry tried to move towards the warmth in his heart. As they walked, their arms rubbed against each other, with a lingering and ambiguous feeling.

Avro pressed against Harry's arm, gently holding his wrist as it swung once more.

The muddy path made it difficult for them to walk.

"Harry, you still have us." She thought about it for a long time and finally turned all her words into this sentence.

Companionship may be a more effective form of comfort than other long-winded speeches.

Harry didn't say anything, but just held her little hand on his wrist with his backhand, holding it tightly as if he was holding the whole world.

The horseless carriage carrying the returning little wizards staggered towards Hogwarts Castle. When the carriage smelling of straw arrived at a pair of magnificent iron gates, the Dementors guarding the gate attracted the attention of the curious little wizards.

"Dumbledore is crazy! He actually allowed Dementors into the school!"

Disdainful remarks were heard from the carriage that followed closely behind. Afro looked back from the small window and met a pair of sparkling eyes.

It's Theodore.

Afro smiled and waved at him, but out of the corner of her eye she saw an arm covered in black clothing with silver threads sticking out from Theodore's side.

She had only seen this dress on Blaise.

The voice that came from the carriage just now was obviously between the two of them.

The carriage stopped in an open field not far from the castle. Afro was the last one to jump off the carriage, and a lazy voice came into her ears.

"Xiao Afu has such a cruel heart. She didn't even write me a letter during the holiday."

Brace stood in front of the stairs leading to the castle, his affectionate peach blossom eyes full of playfulness, and his raised mouth corners revealed a malicious smile. Even the rainy weather could not stop his habit of fanning himself.

Although Theodore just stood there silently, he also wanted to hear Afro's answer.

Because he didn't receive a reply from Afro during this holiday.

"Ah? This?" Afro scratched his head and laughed awkwardly twice, his beautiful eyes moving left and right, as if he was looking for some excuse.

She had been oppressed by Cedric and Noah throughout the holiday and had long forgotten about writing letters to her friends, and she thought she was not familiar with Blaise.

"Definitely next time?"

Bryce was so angry that he laughed at the excuse that Afro had racked his brains to find. Theodore's mouth corners also rose a little unconsciously, and tenderness like melting ice and snow spread across his brows.

"Potter, Granger, Campbell. Come here!" Professor McGonagall stood at the gate of the castle and shouted over the heads of the little wizards. She looked very serious with her hair tied into a bun.

Afro hurriedly ran between Bryce and Theodore, with no reluctance at all and a flustered look on her back that made the boy laugh.

Little heartless.

Theodore looked at Afro and Mag leaving, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Fortunately, he had rested at Nott Manor.
