Chapter 205: The Glowing Horn
Allen felt a chill sweep over his entire body; Allen felt his breath congeal in his chest. This chill pierced his skin, cold all the way to his chest, cold all the way to his heart...
The cloaked monster also discovered Allen. It advanced on Allen step by step. Only then did Allen discover that behind it were seven or eight other cloaked monsters, all looking at him at the same time...
He felt the chill fill his entire body; he felt as if his body were filled with ice water...
He felt a great omen of danger arise in his heart. The threat of death rose to his mind once more. He felt this sense of danger was even more severe than when he faced the Basilisk...
When facing the Basilisk, he had made full preparations, but now he had made no preparations at all!
Seven or eight cloaked monsters inhaled with enjoyment, their targets all Allen. Allen felt all the joy in his heart vanish. He fell to the ground, utterly stiff...
He heard Hermione's scream from inside the carriage, but he could not attend to that. The threat of death, as substantial as a physical thing, filled his heart. He knew he must find a way to save himself now...
Professor Lupin woke up at that moment. He grabbed hold of Harry, who was about to slide off his seat, and then warily drew his wand.
Then he discovered that a soft Bai Guang suddenly lit up the corridor. That light dispersed the cold in the carriage. That light shone upon the people, bringing a feeling of warmth.
Compared to the pure malice the cloaked monsters gave people, the feeling that Bai Guang gave people was pure goodwill.
That Bai Guang shone upon the cloaked monsters, making them suffer. They roared silently, wanting to extinguish the source of the light.
But in the next moment, the brightness of that light surged, as if a shockwave of light had been generated out of thin air. This shockwave struck the cloaked monsters, blasting them out of the train in one blow...
The cloaked monsters circled the train, flying about in anger, but they dared not approach the train again...
That light became soft and warm once more...
Professor Lupin, Ron, Hermione, and Harry inside the carriage watched this scene in surprise. None of them understood what had happened.
But they soon found the source of the light—suddenly, a long, spiral, silver-white horn had appeared on the head of Allen, who lay fallen on the ground.
This silver-white horn was constantly releasing a milky-white light...
"A unicorn's horn..." Professor Lupin murmured.
Professor Lupin's words also reminded everyone. Everyone recognized that a unicorn's horn had appeared on Allen's head.
"Allen, are you alright?" Hermione came to her senses first. She ran forward and helped Allen up.
"Allen?" Professor Lupin frowned, revealing a look of recollection. "Are you Allen Finis? That strange child who randomly transforms every day?"
Allen did not answer Professor Lupin. He wiped the cold sweat from his head. Although the light from the unicorn horn on his head constantly soothed him, he felt the cold in his heart had not yet been completely dispelled.
Just now, when he fell, the feeling of danger and cold had nearly driven him mad. He knew he had to do something, but he did not know what spell could repel so many cloaked monsters.
In this dangerous situation, he could no longer worry about secrecy. He directly modified his memory and began Xing De Mo Fa for a designated transformation.
He vaguely felt in his heart that he needed to transform a unicorn's horn, because unicorns are kind and pure creatures, while the cloaked monsters gave people a feeling of evil and filth. He made his decision quickly.
Since mastering the ability to modify memory and reset designated transformations, Allen had been very mindful of danger and prepared some magical materials for transformation on his person for emergencies. Among them was unicorn hair. He never expected it would actually come in handy this time.
He looked at the monsters circling the train outside the window, flying but daring not approach.
He sighed with relief in his heart. He never expected the transformed unicorn horn to actually produce such a miraculous effect.
At this time, the doors in the other carriages were also gradually opening. Young wizards poked their heads out and walked out. They all looked at Allen standing in the corridor, looking at the unicorn... on his head constantly emitting light.
Allen did not want to be gawked at by the crowd any longer, so he quickly retreated back into the carriage.
"Yes, he is Allen Finis!" Ron suddenly said to Professor Lupin.
"But Allen, can't you only randomly transform once a day? How did you suddenly transform a unicorn's horn?" Ron suddenly realized something was wrong and asked in confusion.
Just now, the effect those monsters had on Harry seemed quite great. He slumped in his chair, staring at the horn on Allen's head, and also revealed a look of confusion.
Only Hermione, standing aside, quietly revealed a look of understanding...
"I don't know either. I just felt those monsters were going to kill me, and then I suddenly transformed this horn. I suspect my ability has mutated." Allen could not think of a better reason at the moment, so he had to make do with this excuse.
He keenly noticed Harry's strange state. He hurriedly moved closer to Harry, allowing more of the light from the unicorn horn to shine upon Harry. Harry's expression indeed became a bit more relaxed...
"The Dementors are controlled by the Ministry of Magic. Without an order from the Ministry of Magic, they will not randomly kill a student of Hogwarts." Professor Lupin said in a deep voice. "However, the pressure they give people is too great. It is very normal for you to have the illusion that they want to kill you."
"Dementors? Were those monsters just now the Dementors of Azkaban? Aren't they all in Azkaban? How could they appear here?" Allen asked in confusion.
"It seems it has something to do with Sirius Black." Hermione said.
At this time, the lights in the carriage began to turn on again, and then the train began to start moving slowly.
Professor Lupin was breaking a large piece of chocolate into small pieces.
"Here," he said to Harry, handing him a particularly large piece. "Eat it. It will do you good."
His gaze swept over Allen's eight legs and horn. "It seems the Ministry of Magic believes Sirius Black will appear around Hogwarts, so they sent the Dementors. Truly a terrible decision."
He distributed chocolate to everyone.
Allen took the chocolate and took a bite. He felt a warm current suddenly spread to his fingertips and toes, completely dispelling the last trace of cold from his body.
For the rest of the journey, they did not talk much.
Finally, the train stopped at Hogwarts Station.
