Chapter 649

Her face looked a bit bad.

"I said, we shouldn't let Dementors appear in Hogwarts; Darren can't be exposed to that kind of creature at all, he's still just a child!"

Madam Pomfrey became more and more angry as she spoke.

She even raised her head to look outside the window.

Darren followed her gaze.

Only then did he discover that there were many Dementors outside.

Did they bring all the Dementors from Azkaban?

"This was Dumbledore's decision, and many teachers agreed.

They believe that as long as the children stay quietly in the castle, there won't be any problems.

As for this incident, we have already asked the Ministry of Magic, and they said they were very sorry.

They said that actually, that Dementor just came in to check for Black, but Darren's attack on it led it to think that Black was here...

No, no, no, Darren, I'm not saying you were wrong.

In fact, the Dementors in other carriages did the same thing; they were just looking for an excuse, they were afraid of being driven out by the Ministry of Magic.

That Dementor that attacked you has already been taken back to Azkaban, and it is said that it will receive the harshest punishment."

Darren really wanted to ask what this harshest punishment was.

But asking like that would be too out of character for a little Saint Father like him.

So he blinked his eyes, revealed a worried look, and asked: "Professor McGonagall, actually I've been thinking, that Dementor should have been performing its duty.

It was I who provoked it... perhaps it doesn't need to be punished..."

"Oh, Darren, I've already said, although they seem to be performing their duties, they didn't control themselves well.

They actually sucked away your happiness, causing you and Harry to almost collapse; this is unforgivable.

The Ministry of Magic plans to use the Patronus Charm to punish it until it is about to dissipate... Oh, I shouldn't have told you.

Anyway, it must deeply realize this mistake!"

Tsk tsk tsk.

So this Dementor was only being punished because it made him and Harry almost collapse.

If he and Harry were ordinary people, this Dementor probably wouldn't have had anything happen to it.

It might even be celebrating at the Ministry of Magic!

However, he was quite satisfied with this punishment.

Of course.

He couldn't be so open about it.

So he revealed a bit of a guilty expression again.

As if he wanted to defend the Dementor a few more times.

Madam Pomfrey interrupted his words.

"Oh, stop talking, I think you might need some chocolate... Harry too, otherwise you two should just rest well in the infirmary tonight?"

As she said that, she happily took out a bottle of potion.

As if she was ready to pour it into Darren at any moment.

No, no.

Darren took a step back.

This made them both laugh.

"Professor Lupin gave us chocolate."

Darren said well-behaved.

He saw Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey both pause for a moment; they seemed to look at him and Harry with some pity.

Then they quickly recovered.

As if it had never happened.

"Alright, you two go back!

And Hermione, remember what I told you, your and Darren's schedules need to be together, don't let him run around!"

Professor McGonagall said at the end.

Harry was a bit puzzled.

He wanted to ask something. Because he didn't quite understand what there was to talk about regarding Darren and Hermione's schedules.

Aren't most of everyone's classes together? There aren't two classes separated, that's too boring, right?

However, looking at Hermione's happy expression, he rationally kept his mouth shut....

By the time they returned to the Great Hall, the Sorting had long since ended.

And even the food on the dining table had turned into dessert.

Darren was just about to take a piece of cake to fill his stomach when he found that all the food on the table had disappeared.

Apparently, it was already time for bed.

Fortunately, he had already eaten.

He turned his head to look at Harry and Hermione from Gryffindor.

The two of them were staring dumbfounded at the disappearing food, and then they covered their stomachs in unison.

Apparently, they were extremely hungry.

"Children, before you go to bed, I need to tell you a few things."

Dementors will be stationed at Hogwarts...

"... even the Invisibility Cloak cannot deceive them."

"... also, we will be welcoming two new teachers."

"The first is Professor Lupin, who has agreed to teach the subject of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year."

"The second is... Hagrid, Hagrid will become the professor for the subject of Care of Magical Creatures..."

"So, children, good night!"

Dumbledore smiled and ended the topic for the night.

Darren yawned; he honestly followed behind Cassandra and returned to the Slytherin common room.

As soon as he returned to the common room, he was faced with Snape's dark face.

"I hope you can still keep a cool head. Now, let the prefect selection begin.

I hope everyone participates; I hope every Slytherin prefect, every single one, is the most powerful one!"

Snape said coldly.

Darren noticed that, except for the first-year freshmen, all the students' gazes were on him.

Apparently, everyone knew that Slytherin had someone like him, who was strong but unwilling to be a prefect.

And they also knew that Snape was targeting him.

Darren sighed.

Being a prefect seemed very embarrassing to him. It was like leading a group of little kids in a line.

He couldn't feel proud at all.

It was just that Snape ignored his hesitation.

He waved his wand.

The tables and chairs in the Slytherin common room were all pushed into the corners.

This place was turned into several dueling rings.

Then he said expressionlessly: "Hurry up, I don't think you want to waste your time here instead of going to sleep, right?"

Snape said this.

He saw Darren yawn a big yawn.

So he continued: "First years step back, let the other years go first, let them give you a demonstration... just the third years, hurry up!"
