Chapter 142 The Passerby Who Didn't Get the Owl in Harry Potter 19
After the dinner, Jiang Yue did not leave with everyone by train. Instead, she transformed into an adorable owl and flew away from Hogwarts, camping for a few days wherever she saw a scenic spot.
After leaving Hogwarts, I never saw any magical creatures again. Later, I went to Greece to see the magical creatures there and collected some of their bloodlines.
Afterwards, she went to Romania to see the fire dragon and to ancient Egypt. Jiang Yue also wanted to visit the great Eastern country, but there was a barrier between the nine provinces, so she had to apply for permission, which was very troublesome. It probably wouldn't happen this year.
Jiang Yue returned from abroad a few days before the start of the semester. After resting at the Leaky Cauldron bar, she went to Diagon Alley to buy the books she needed for the year. Although she had already learned the knowledge in the books, she still needed to have a book there to pretend during class. Her family had been urging her to come home several times a day via WeChat and phone calls. After buying the items she needed for the start of the semester, she rushed home.
After staying home for a few days, it was time for school to start. Sirius Black had recently escaped from prison, and Jiang Yue wondered if Dumbledore had been involved. Looking at the gloomy sky after waking up, she realized today was indeed a day for travel. She hoped it would rain after she boarded the train. Her family saw her and Hermione off at the station, reluctant to part. Jiang Yue didn't let them see her off any longer, as it might rain heavily today, and told them to go home early and contact her via WeChat when they got home.
After boarding the train, we went to their usual compartment, but to our surprise, someone was already sleeping there. We had hoped to find an empty compartment, but after looking around, we found that every compartment was full, so we had to squeeze in. As time passed, the train started moving, and the weather gradually changed, with a torrential downpour beginning.
On the train, the group shared their holiday stories, and then the topic turned to Sirius Black's prison break. Harry mysteriously said, "Actually, that Death Eater Sirius Black broke out of prison to kill me!" After saying that, he recounted the conversation he had overheard between the Weasleys.
Upon hearing that Sirius Black's escape was actually to kill Harry, Hermione and Ron were terrified and showed worried expressions. They rushed to give Harry advice. Hermione told Harry to stay at school and not stray too far from the professors. Ron went even further, telling Harry to stay in his dormitory or go live in the headmaster's office.
Jiang Yue, listening from the side, was both amused and exasperated. They were indeed terrified, unaware of the inside story. After thinking it over, she realized there was no real danger to their lives. Besides, within the boundaries of Hogwarts, her authority was similar to Dumbledore's. As long as they weren't instantly killed, she could get there in time. Jiang Yue wasn't trying to be their babysitter, but no one is perfect and can be heartless. She could treat this as a small matter to train them. But when it came to matters of life and death, they were all friends; how could she stand idly by?
Time passed as the group chatted. Around three or four in the afternoon, the train suddenly stopped. Hermione said, "Why did the train stop? Weren't we not at the station yet?"
"What happened?"
Just then, all the lights on the train went out, plunging the entire train into darkness. Jiang Yue looked out the window and vaguely saw some tall things flying towards the train. A smile appeared on Jiang Yue's face: "Dementors? We've been waiting for you!"
Dementors are dark creatures that grow stronger by absorbing human happiness and souls. Except for the Patronus Charm, they cannot be harmed by ordinary physical or magical attacks. Jiang Yue had long wanted to get some to study, but unfortunately, she hadn't found any yet, so she was waiting for this moment.
"You guys stay in the private room for a while, I'll go out and take a look."
"Then be careful!" Hermione said worriedly as she watched Jiang Yue leave.
Jiang Yue gave an OK sign. To prevent the Dementors from attacking Harry again after she left, they cast a protective spell, used an Illusion Charm, and Apparated to get outside the train. Seeing a group of Dementors, Jiang Yue took out the Dementor Bottle and said to Bai Ze, "Now we won't lack research materials."
In no time, she collected all the Dementors. She counted them and found there were only seven or eight, which was a bit few. However, Jiang Yue remembered that there were more at Hogwarts. But when she got to the school, she changed her approach. She couldn't collect them all at once. She would collect a few first and then collect a few more after the number was replenished, like harvesting leeks.
After dealing with the Dementors, Jiang Yue returned to the train. When she got back to her carriage, Professor Lupin was chatting with Harry. Jiang Yue nodded to him without saying much. She chatted with Hermione for a while before the train arrived at its destination. Two new professors had been added this year, Lupin and Hagrid. After the party, Dumbledore explained the dangers of Dementors and how to deal with them. After that, everyone returned to their respective houses.
Back in the common room, Jiang Yue took advantage of the quiet to catch a few more Dementors. The next day in class, Jiang Yue checked the schedule and found that several new courses had been added: Muggle Studies, Divination, Runecraft, and Protecting Magical Creatures. Overall, the schedule was getting fuller and the students were under more and more pressure. Studying in the magical world was not easy.
Of these courses, Jiang Yue was only somewhat interested in divination. Back in the cultivation world, she had wanted to learn this type of magic, but unfortunately, the Heavenly Mystery Sect was difficult to enter, and its techniques were rarely passed down. In the end, she didn't manage to learn it. Although the barrier to entry for learning magic in the magical world was low, not many of them were actually useful.
The two new professors' classes were very interesting. Professor Hagrid's Magical Creatures class was very interesting, but Draco still didn't get a butterfly after being kicked. At night, Jiang Yue caught a few more Dementors. The next day, when attending Professor Flitwick's Charms class, Professor Flitwick casually mentioned to Jiang Yue: "Jiang Yue, don't go out at night for the next few days. The Dementors have been disappearing lately, and their numbers are decreasing every day."
Jiang Yue nodded to indicate that she understood. It seemed that the capture operation had to be put on hold. She wondered why there hadn't been any new Dementors being added recently. Could it be that Azkaban had run out of Dementors and they couldn't keep up with the demand? After attending classes peacefully for a few days, Sirius ran off to Hogwarts, slept on the floor for a few days, and then went to the Quidditch match.
Although the number of Dementors was reduced considerably, Harry was still attacked and fell from the sky. Dumbledore used a descent charm to catch Harry, but his broom broke just like in the book. The subsequent events, without Jiang Yue's involvement, were similar to those in the movie.
It snowed on the day of the holiday. Today was the day Professor McGonagall organized everyone to go to Hogsmeade Village. Harry did not have his guardian's permission, so he could not go with them. Therefore, he planned to go secretly by wearing an invisibility cloak. Jiang Yue turned into an owl and just happened to see the Weasley brothers take Harry away and give him the Marauder's Map. After seeing this, Jiang Yue did not continue to watch and went to explore the Forbidden Forest.
