Chapter 389: with translation of chapter title
The Hogwarts Express now has an entire team of Aurors accompanying it.
But this Dementor Attack came too suddenly, and the number was abnormally large.
The Aurors basically had no time to organize an effective line before their formation was scattered.
Countless Dementors burst into the carriages and began indiscriminately attacking the students.
Not a few students who had previously participated in the training gathering at the Wish-Granting House stood up one after another.
They cast the Guardian God Spell, trying to drive away these Dementors.
But the Dementors were simply too many; their Guardian God Spell could barely protect the carriage they were in.
The surrounding air had become extremely cold, and a thin layer of frost quickly condensed on the carriage windows.
Luna lightly exhaled a breath of warm air, somewhat shivering as she hugged her arms.
At this moment, Yue'er's gaze changed.
She slowly stood up and casually draped the school robe she hadn't yet put on over Luna's body.
Then she directly pulled open the carriage door and walked out.
Seeing this, Luna, who had been about to speak up to stop her from leaving, froze, as if recalling something.
Titus quickly stood up, drew his wand, intending to call Yue'er back.
But Yue'er had already looked toward another carriage, where cries for help came from the students.
Help!!!!
Only see a Dementor burst into the carriage, releasing a feeling of fear toward the students in a compartment.
Yue'er's eyes narrowed, and she quickly stepped forward.
Stop it!
Hearing this angry shout, not only did the Dementor freeze for a moment, but Titus behind her, who had intended to grab her, also froze.
Because this scene was all too familiar to him.
Back then, when he was blocked at the door by Dementors, he cried out for his parents in fear.
It was also such an angry shout that pulled him out of fear.
Guardian Deity Protection!!
Yue'er somehow produced an ordinary wand, and a mass of silver Guardian God energy suddenly erupted from the tip of her wand.
That mass of silver light exploded in the dim carriage, like a small moon.
Instantly, the chill in the surrounding several carriages was dispelled by more than half.
Along with that, the surrounding Dementors were repelled by that mass of silver light.
After driving away the soul-devouring monsters here, Yue'er did not stop her actions.
The silver mass of light flew up into the sky, transforming into a majestic lion with head held high and strides broad.
The male lion Guardian Deity roared toward the heavens.
The silver energy burst forth like a wave, enveloping the entire train.
Those Dementors that had been rampaging inside the carriages, like shadows scorched by flame, shrieked and scattered, vanishing into the darkness outside the windows.
Titus stared blankly at Yue'er's back; that back overlapped with another back.
Until she turned her head and shrank her neck, revealing an expression of having done something wrong, did this feeling dissipate.
Um, was I too impulsive......?
Yue'er scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and laughed.
... No, you did very well, so well it's almost absurd......
Only then did Titus come to his senses; the girl who seemed somewhat clumsy before him could actually summon such a powerful Guardian Deity.
With a single strike, she drove away over a hundred Dementors completely clean.
Really? Hehe.
Hearing Titus's words, Yue'er laughed a little embarrassedly.
Your magic... did you really learn it in the mountains?" Titus asked somewhat uncertainly.
Yes.
Titus: "......"
The gap between people can sometimes be greater than that between humans and giants.
Although he had already grown used to this absurdity after knowing John, another monster now appeared, and he couldn't help but complain.
If John were here, they'd surely have plenty to talk about......
Just as his mood had settled, thinking of this made it sink again.
Soon, Aurors and professors began checking each carriage for injuries.
Fortunately, Yue'er's timely intervention meant few students suffered actual harm; most were merely frightened.
Titus and Yue'er were also briefly questioned, and after confirming they were unharmed, they were released.
From the professors' conversation, Titus learned something about Yue'er's background.
They said she was a child Dumbledore picked up from the mountains, exceptionally talented.
This also explains why, at her age, she could be specially recruited by Dumbledore.
At this moment, Hermione came to their compartment.
"You guys..... you're Titus? Are you alright?"
Hermione had originally been looking for Yue'er, and also wanted to check on John's friends, because the commotion earlier was surely her doing.
But seeing Titus's current state, she almost didn't recognize him.
"I'm fine, Hermione (Senior)."
Titus waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
Hermione (Senior) is the one, are you okay?
John's matter... I'm very sorry...
Hearing his words, Hermione paused slightly, then shook her head.
I should be the one apologizing, Titus, John... he wouldn't want to see you like this, pull yourself together.
Hermione almost couldn't help letting it slip, wanting to say John was still alive, but the words died on her lips.
"I know." Titus nodded, not saying anything else.
Hermione looked at his state, sighed in her heart, but also didn't urge him further.
She turned her head to look at Yue'er.
"Yue'er, don't be too ostentatious, Professor Dumbledore said, asking you to keep a low profile as much as possible."
"Oh~ I got it, sis."
Yue'er stuck out his tongue, then nodded obediently.
Hermione sighed helplessly, reaching out to ruffle her hair.
Titus and the others only then realized, Hermione and Yue'er knew each other.
"Hermione (Senior)... do you know Classmate Gelin?"
Ryan asked strangely.
"Hmm... she came out of the mountains alone, with no one to rely on, so Professor Dumbledore entrusted her to my care."
Hearing this explanation, the several people suddenly understood and nodded.
"So that's how it is..." Ethan muttered to himself.
"The Headmaster probably wanted Hermione (Senior) to shift her focus, so she wouldn't be immersed in sorrow......"
"Maybe." Ryan responded softly, his gaze falling on the fields flashing past outside the window.
Afterwards, the several people merely exchanged a few pleasantries, and Hermione left.
Only after Hermione left did they realize.
Since Yue'er was entrusted by Dumbledore to Hermione's care.
Then why didn't Yue'er sit together with Hermione?
Yue'er seemed to guess their thoughts, and said: "It was I who told Hermione Senior that I wanted to take the train myself, to experience the real atmosphere, so I didn't follow her."
Only then did the several people nod.
At this moment, Luna returned the robe that Yue'er had previously draped over her.
"Thank you for your clothes, I didn't expect you to be such a brave and considerate junior."
Hearing this, Yue'er's hand imperceptibly paused, then he took the robe and laughed.
"Where, where."
Luna quietly looked at her, giving a faint smile.
Afterwards, the journey proceeded without any further incidents.
This Dementor attack was clearly Voldemort's doing again.
The students were still somewhat frightened, even the newly enrolled little brats had restrained themselves considerably.
But fortunately, the train finally arrived at Hogwarts station.
That castle standing tall in the night sky, its lights blazing, seemed to soothe every uneasy heart.
