The Hogwarts Express that started this year stopped midway. Due to Sirius Black's escape from prison, Azkaban has sent many dementors everywhere to look for traces of the fugitive. And they plan to search the train.

Hetty and Hermione were not in the same box with Potter and the others, but with two of Hermione's Ravenclaw classmates.

It is said that Ravenclaw symbolizes wisdom, but students from other colleges always call them nerds in private. Hetty also thinks that this title is not bad to some extent. They really love reading books.

At this moment, the three of them each had a book in their hands and were reading with gusto, but she was bored to death by herself.

Hetty looked at the heavy rain outside. It was obviously still afternoon, but the sky was as dark as night. She curled her lips. She glanced at the three Ravenclaws who were not affected at all, and said, "I'll go find them."

Harry and Weasley." Then he opened the box door and went out.

Their box was in the middle and rear part of the train, and Hetty planned to take a walk around to find Potter's box and catch a few famous scenes before the train stopped.

Unfortunately, the train suddenly stopped when she had only passed two carriages. Some students also came out of the compartments to want to know what happened.

Hetty secretly screamed, this was too fast. She quickly quickened her pace and walked towards the front. She searched the boxes one by one, but still found no trace of Potter or Weasley.

Just when Hetty suspected that they might have missed the train again, all the prefects came out. The students they had let out in the corridor went back to their boxes and explained the reason why the train had stopped.

Hetty looked at the Slytherin prefect in the back who was coming towards her, and then looked back at the boxes that were almost at the front of the train. She had to give up and continue looking for Potter and the others, and then walked back two miles.

As he stepped forward, there was the sound of the box door being opened behind him, and a familiar male voice.

"No. 1? What are you doing here?" Malfoy originally planned to come out to see why the train stopped suddenly, but he didn't expect to find a familiar figure as soon as he opened the compartment door. He spoke directly without thinking.

Stopped her.

Hetty's footsteps paused, and she knew it was the annoying young master just by the sound of his voice. She instantly recalled what happened in the corridor back to the Slytherin lounge after the second year's end-of-year banquet, and what happened in the hallway.

Finally his threat.

She became angry when she thought of this. At that time, she was pulled into his arms, but the next second he said, "When Professor Snape knows this, will you still be able to cry?"

It was these words that made her cover her mouth immediately, and she didn't say anything anymore. If Snape really knew about it, he would definitely use various methods to make her tell the truth. However, they were both beaten later.

Points were deducted for Snape's sudden appearance.

Hetty turned around angrily, but was shocked when she saw him for the first time. After not seeing him for a summer vacation, he had really changed a lot. The back of his head that had been maintained for two school years finally changed, and he no longer looked like him.

Instead of being a little adult, he has transformed back into the appearance of a student and has grown a lot.

But this also directly reflected the genes of the Malfoy family. Although she was unhappy to see him, she really had to admit that this guy's face was really good-looking.

Malfoy raised his eyebrows and stared at her expression. He did not miss the flash of surprise in her eyes, but he still said impatiently, "Have you seen enough?"

"Who's looking at you?" Hetty rolled her eyes at him. It would be fine if he didn't speak, but as long as he spoke, there would be absolutely nothing good to say.

"Really? Who was that just staring at me motionless as if under a petrification spell? Is it a troll?" Malfoy glanced at her with disgust. It was also two months ago, and she still looked the same, except for her hair.

It's grown a bit, but nothing else has changed.

Hetty was so angry at what he said that she snorted coldly, not intending to pay attention to him, and turned around without hesitation to go back.

However, the Slytherin prefect had already arrived, and he looked at the two of them seriously, "The dementors will board the train to look for Sirius. You two should go back to the box quickly and don't wander around in the corridor before the train starts."

.”

Before Hetty could answer, Malfoy took the lead and said, "Okay." Then, he grabbed her arm and pulled her directly into the box where he was.

Hetty stumbled into the box and almost fell down, but luckily she was held by him. When she regained her footing, she withdrew her hand and stared at him fiercely, "Malfoy, what do you want to do!?"

Malfoy had already sat down. He slowly took out a silver handkerchief and wiped his wand. He said coldly without raising his head, "I really want to know what your ears are for.

Didn’t you hear what the prefect said?”

"I heard you! I want to go back to my sister." With that, Hetty was about to open the box door, but he stopped her sharply.

"Can you be any stupider? The dementors got into the car and you wanted to get out? Do you think the dementors are friendly things?" Malfoy put his wand back into his pocket and raised his hand to straighten his sleeves.

A pair of gray eyes stared straight at her, full of disgust.

Hetty opened the door, hesitated for a few seconds, then gave up and chose to sit across from him. This box was obviously more luxurious and comfortable than ordinary ones, and there was no one else there except the two of them.

Hetty silently murmured in her heart, "What a waste of resources." After a moment of silence, she looked up at Malfoy opposite and asked abruptly, "Why aren't you with your follower? And Parkinson is here.

Don’t you think it’s too empty for you?”

Malfoy was looking down at a book related to Quidditch in his hand. He ignored Hetty's question and said, "For a few more gold galleons, you can also enjoy a box. Besides, the Malfoy family doesn't care."

This little money."

Hetty looked at him and felt speechless for a while. This was a typical rich second-generation young man, and he shouldn't be judged by ordinary people's thinking. Think about it again, his father didn't have any official position in the Ministry of Magic.

Isn't it because I have money that I can be friends with many officials? If I have money, I can really do whatever I want.

No longer paying attention to him, Hetty simply stared out the window in a daze. She didn't know where it was now, but the rain outside didn't slow down at all. She sighed silently, and after meeting Malfoy,

Her mood is almost the same as the rain now.

The box was extremely quiet for a while. Hetty put her hand to her mouth and yawned, already feeling a little tired.

As a result, the next second, a creature with a gray-white face like a skeleton and a body floating in the air like broken steps suddenly appeared outside the originally dark window. It slowly flew to the window, with that terrifying face

His face was almost touching the window.

Hetty was so frightened that she almost screamed and wanted to look away, but the monster seemed to have a kind of magic that prevented her from taking her eyes away. She only felt a coldness gradually spreading over her.

Then a scene before her death appeared in her mind that she could never forget in her life.

A few days before the college entrance examination, she was walking home from school at an intersection. After the light turned green, she walked to the middle of the road. A car rushed over from the other side at high speed. She didn't notice it in time and had no time to dodge. She was hit and slid out.

A few meters away, there was a dazzling stream of red blood on the ground.

Hetty could feel her body shaking, and it seemed to be colder than before. The fragments in her mind kept repeating, the feeling of life disappearing, the feeling of despair and fear, a drop of tear without warning.

The ground fell from the corner of her eyes, but she didn't notice it at all now.

However, in the next second, the window was suddenly blocked by curtains, and there was another person in front of her. He frowned and raised his hand to hold her shoulders, and then whispered, "No. 1, can you hear my voice?

"

Hetty was in a trance for a moment. She looked at him steadily, opened her mouth, and said nothing. But then, his voice came to her ears again, an extremely gentle voice, "Look at me, it's okay."

She looked at him and blinked, and the desperate feeling in her heart began to slowly subside, but her body was still shaking. She took a deep breath, slowly fell forward, and fell directly into him.

In his arms, he closed his eyes and his consciousness began to become chaotic.

He sat stiffly, holding her shoulders with both hands. After a while, he readjusted her position so that she could sleep peacefully.

He glanced in the direction of the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and after confirming that the dementors had left, he sat back down opposite and picked up the book again, but he had no intention of reading any more.

Hetty didn't tell Hermione about this, and Malfoy tacitly didn't mention it again. I thought that only Potter would be affected, but I didn't expect that I was almost infected. As expected, after staying with the protagonist for a long time, he was infected.

Already.

At the opening party, Dumbledore specifically warned all students about this incident, "Don't give the dementors any excuse to hurt you or them."

The Ministry of Magic sent dementors to protect Hogwarts, but this is obviously wrong. Dementors are not good people. It would be good if they don't attack students. What kind of protection is there?

This has also greatly restricted the development of outdoor sports this year. Students do not want these ugly guys to disturb the Quidditch Cup that starts in November.

This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was replaced by the new Remus Lupin. His robes looked very old, and his whole person seemed to be in a lack of energy. Malfoy immediately started taunting him as soon as he saw it.

Hetty ignored him at all, thinking about what to do next.

In addition to Professor Lupin, Hagrid also became the professor of the elective course Care of Magical Creatures. He was obviously a little embarrassed but very happy.

This news seemed to disgust Malfoy even more than before. He simply said, "I really regret choosing to protect magical creatures."

In contrast, Hetty just glanced at him and said she was disgusted. She must have been very excited to be in class with Potter, haha, man.

After the banquet, Hetty found an opportunity to run to Potter, specifically concerned about what happened to him on the Hogwarts Express. His face was very good. Although the dementors brought out bad memories, but because

Her concern also made Potter a lot happy.

Hetty was on her way back to the Slytherin lounge, but she was still thinking about how to catch the mouse. She had just asked Weasley. After entering the castle, Scabbers disappeared, but he seemed to be used to it and was arrogant.

Very.

There were not many students in the corridor. When Hetty reached the end and turned right, she happened to run into some Slytherins. She was about to continue walking without thinking much, but was deliberately stopped by one of them.

She then raised her eyes angrily to look at the Slytherins. As a result, she was pushed hard and hit the wall just before she even looked up.

"Hiss." Hetty stood against the wall and stared angrily at the Slytherins in front of her. She immediately remembered that they were the first-year students who bullied her after school started last year. They were already second-year students. "You guys

What do you want to do?”

"Stinky Mudblood! Without that Malfoy, let's see what you can do this time!" The leader's face was full of hatred, and he directly motioned to the two people next to him to step forward and grab her hand.

The man reached out and took the wand from her narrow pocket, then threw it into the corner with disdain, "Do you remember? Last time."

Hetty gritted her teeth and watched his movements with the wand, feeling angry and scared. She tried to struggle but to no avail. The two of them were trying so hard that they couldn't break away at all.

"What kind of look are you looking at?" The man patted her cheek hard with his wand, and then pointed at her, "Didn't you say you want to look good on me? This time, it's you."

As he spoke, the man cast a "blazing flame" on her robe, and the flames immediately started to ignite from the bottom of her robe. She was so anxious that she yelled loudly before she uttered a word, but he raised his hand to cover her mouth.

"Shut up! Mudblood! Don't blame me if you make me unhappy!" The man who originally looked at her gloomily suddenly laughed again, making her hair stand on end.

The flames of the robe burned with increasing intensity. She stared at the red flames with wide eyes. She could feel the scalding temperature, and her hands struggled even harder.

Just when the flames of the robe had reached her thighs, a person suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor and shouted at them, "What are you doing!"
Chapter completed!
