Chapter 161
The monster escaped.
While running away, he screamed again and again, as if he had seen something terrible.
As it left, the lights in the carriage returned to normal, and the train started moving again.
Lupine was stunned by this.
Due to the angle, he didn't see John's previous inhalation movement at all.
At this moment, he opened his mouth slightly, stared at John blankly and said:
"You... how did you do it?"
John didn't reply.
At this time, he was closing his eyes and feeling.
The monster is indeed edible, but the taste is very strange, a bit like chili pepper water with a lot of vinegar added.
But the magic power inside is very abundant. The magic power increase brought to John by the sip John just took can already be equivalent to high-level magic potions such as intelligence enhancers and enhancers.
If it could 'eat' a whole head, the increase in magic power it would bring must be quite terrifying.
As far as John knew, there would be many more monsters like this in Hogwarts this year.
There is undoubtedly a huge gold mine!
It’s a bigger gold mine than Chilo’s back then!
The only problem was that during the sucking process, it wasn't just magic that poured into John's body, but also a lot of negative emotions.
The influx of negative emotions just now made John feel quite uncomfortable.
If the amount of absorption was greater, even John's [Occlumency] might not be able to withstand it.
Unless this problem is solved, it will be difficult for John to absorb this magic power in large quantities.
While John was thinking, Lupine had already walked over.
He seemed to feel that John could no longer bear it, so he stretched out his hand to support John and said:
"Child, are you alright?"
John pretended to be weak and replied:
"It's just a little cold. I don't know why it escaped."
Hearing this, Lu Ping was obviously relieved.
At the same time, all the Slytherins who had been secretly observing the situation in the corridor also came out.
They all stared at John with admiring eyes, and some even came up to support John with Lupine.
With their help, John returned to the box successfully.
As soon as he entered the carriage, John realized that Harry's situation was even worse.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his lips were extremely pale, as if he was about to faint.
John sat down, broke off a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, then handed the rest to Harry and said:
"Eat some chocolate, it'll make you feel better."
Harry hurriedly chewed the chocolate, and after a while he regained his composure and said shakily:
"What the... thing is that?"
"Dementors, guards from Azkaban." John stretched his neck and explained, "They are dark creatures that are considered the ugliest things in the world.
They feed on people's happy emotions, causing those who are near them to feel depressed and hopeless.
In addition, they can also suck out the souls of others and turn them into a state of the living dead.
For this reason, dementors are also said to be 'devils that take in other people's souls'. "
"That's a good point," Lu Ping smiled and clapped, "If I hadn't officially taken office yet, I would definitely give you extra points."
John nodded politely to Lupine.
Others in the box had no reaction - they were all frightened by John's description and what had just happened.
Even Draco's face was filled with fear.
But the moment he saw John next to him, Draco's expression softened.
With John here, what else does he have to fear?
Draco saw it clearly just now.
John resisted the dementor's sucking and took two steps forward.
Then, the dementors were scared away!
Thinking like this, not only was Draco no longer afraid, he even had a smile on his face.
"Hey! Pote! Were you almost fainted from fright just now? It's really useless!"
Draco tilted his head and mocked.
Hearing this, Ron shouted:
"Shut up, Malfoy! You weren't any better just now!"
Harry had no intention of arguing with Draco right now. He swallowed and said:
"Why are dementors here?"
"I think you already know the reason." John said lightly, "Obviously, they are here to protect you."
"Protect?"
Michelle seemed to have heard some joke, "They almost killed Harry just now!"
John nodded and said:
"So, it is foreseeable that both Mr. Minister and Dumbledore will be very angry."
"I really hope Dumbledore can drive them all away!" Michelle frowned, "I don't like dementors at all, they don't make me feel good at all!"
As soon as this was said, Harry and others all nodded in agreement.
Lupine sighed deeply and went out to inspect the Hogwarts Express.
And once Lupine left, he never came back.
Finally, as the sky outside turned dark again, the train also stopped at Hogwarts Station.
When John and others got off the bus, the station was already in chaos.
There are crowds of students everywhere.
Everyone was obviously frightened by the scene that happened on the train earlier, and we were quarreling with each other.
Percy and the other prefects were shouting loudly in the crowd, trying to keep the students in order.
But that didn't do much.
Except for some Hufflepuffs, other students simply didn't agree with him as the new president of the Boys' Student Union.
And among the chaotic crowd, Slytherin was definitely the most distinctive being.
They did not get into a mess like other colleges, but silently gathered behind John. Under John's leadership, they walked directly out of the station.
Seeing this, Hagrid and Lupine, who were busy guiding the new students, nodded happily.
Percy was furious.
Because he also saw Harry, Ron, and Michelle beside John.
As a Gryffindor, she didn't listen to him, the president of the boy student union, and instead hung out with a Slytherin like John.
Especially Ron!
That's his brother Percy!
Percy felt that this was simply betrayal!
Unfortunately, neither Ron nor Harry cared what Percy thought.
Under the leadership of John, several people took the Thestral carriage directly, arrived at Hogwarts Castle, and entered the auditorium and took their seats one after another.
Due to Snape's presence, the Slytherins fell into silence as they sat down.
Professor McGonagall moved closer to Harry and Michelle, asking with concern about their previous encounter on the train.
After a while, all the old students arrived.
Professor McGonagall also put on the sorting hat and prepared to start the sorting ceremony.
Seeing those freshmen who are as nervous as quails entering the stadium is definitely the most anticipated thing of the year for the old students.
This is a bad taste.
It is also the 'welcoming ceremony' for new students at Hogwarts.
But John noticed that an unusual figure appeared among this year's freshmen.
It was a beautiful girl with long black hair.
She is tall and looks several years older than the other freshmen. She has tied her hair into a complicated fancy hairstyle, and paired with her delicate and cold face, she gives people a strange feeling. The feeling of closeness.
"That should be a transfer student."
Draco also noticed the girl and explained to John in a low voice, "My father revealed some information to me. It is said that she is a third-year student like us, but I don't know which house she will be assigned to."
As soon as Draco finished speaking, he heard Professor McGonagall read out the first name.
"Alice Lopez."
The black-haired girl sat on the high chair in full view of everyone.
Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on her.
The next moment, the Sorting Hat screamed:
"S-Lyterin!"
