Carina Black: Fanfic

Dementor Vs Two Patronuses

Carina's POV

Two ministry cars took us to the train station. We reached King's Cross with twenty minutes to spare. The Ministry drivers found us trolleys, unloaded our trunks. They touched their hats in salute to Mr. Weasley, and drove away. Somehow managing to jump to the head of an un-moving line at the traffic lights. Mr. Weasley kept close to Harry's elbow all the way into the station and to the barrier.

"Let's do this in pairs, as there are so many of us. I'll go through first with Harry" Mr Weasley states. They go through the barrier. I then go through with Hermione. Percy and Ginny suddenly appeared behind us. They were panting and had apparently taken the barrier at a run. Percy spots his girlfriend and goes to greet her. Not waiting fro the others.

Soon the others join us and we say our goodbyes. Before boarding the train together. The twins went to search for their friend Lee Jordan. "I need to talk to you in private" Harry mutters to Ron and Hermione.

"Go away, Ginny" Ron tells his sister.

"Oh, that's nice" Ginny huffs in annoyance.

"I'll catch you guys later at lunch time" I tell them before leading Ginny away. We find Luna and sit with her. I let Honoria out of her carrier and she curls up beside me purring contently. I take out my new defense book and begin to read it.

(Time skip to lunch)

I went in search of Harry and the others. I find them in a compartment with  sleeping adult. "Hey, who's the sleeping wizard?" I ask as I sit beside Hermione.

"Professor R. J Lupin, we believe he's our new defense teacher" Hermione answers.

"Hope he's up for the job" I state. I notice the two boys avoiding my eyes. "Why are you guys acting so weird?" I ask confused.

"They found out about your Uncle being after Harry and him being you uncle" Hermione whispers.

"Honestly I don't even know the guy and you're going to act like I don't exist?" I demand.

"It's just weird, that one of our friends family members wants me dead" Harry mutters.

"Hardly family, as I said I've never meet him. I hardly remember my father, I live with my father's cousin. Whose daughter is an auror hunting down Sirius Black as we speak" I tell them.

"Wait, what's your cousins name?" Ron asks me.

"Tonks, but I call her Nymph" I tell him.

"I've heard of her, she went to school with Charlie and Bill" he states. "She was a Hufflepuff" he adds.

"So was her father and I'm a Ravenclaw. Please I need my friends by me this year. The whole school will treat me like a criminal for being related to Sirius Black" I tell them.

"We're with you" Hermione assures me.

"Yea, we've been through a lot together. We won't turn our backs on you now" Harry adds.

"What they said" Ron mutters as the trolley lady appears.

"Anything off the trolley dears?" she asks us. I buy a couple of sugar quills. Hermione gets a cauldron cake. While Harry and Ron get a box of Bertie Botts to share along with several chocolate frogs each.

"D'you think we should wake him up?" I ask the others looking at Professor Lupin.

"He looks like he could do with some food" Ron states. Hermione approached Professor Lupin cautiously. She tries to wake him, but he doesn't stir.

"Don't worry, dears. If he's hungry when he wakes, I'll be up front with the driver" the trolley lady tells us. We nod our heads and she leave to continue giving up sweets.

"I suppose he is asleep. He's not dead, is he?" Ron asks.

"No he's breathing" I assure him as Hermione takes a bite out of her cauldron cake. "So excited for Hogsmeade?" I ask them and they avoid my eyes. "What is it this time?" I ask them confused.

"My Uncle never signed my form, so I can't go" Harry tells me.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Harry" I say sincerely.

"It's ok, you didn't know" he assures me. "I hope you three all have fun" he adds.

"We'll bring you back sweets and butter beer" I tell him. He gives me a grateful smile. Mid-afternoon, just as it had started to rain, blurring the rolling hills outside the window. The train stops suddenly. I look at my watch and frown.

"We can't be there yet" Hermione states.

"So why're we stopping?" the boys asks us.

"No idea" we say. As the noise of the pistons fell away, the wind and rain sounded louder than ever against the windows. Harry, who was nearest the door, got up to look into the corridor. The train came to a stop with a jolt, and distant thuds and bangs told them that luggage had fallen out of the racks. Then, without warning, all the lamps went out and they were plunged into total darkness.

"What's going on?" Ron asks as I draw my wand.

"Ouch! Ron, that was my foot!" Hermione complains.

"D'you think we've broken down?" Harry asks us.

"Don't know" I tell him.

"There's something moving out there" Ron says looking out the window. I join him. "Look they're coming aboard" he states and I nod my head in agreement. The compartment door suddenly opened and someone fell into the compartment. Harry groans in pain.

"Sorry! D'you know what's going on? Ouch! Sorry" Neville says.

"Hi Neville" I say. "Sit down, I'm going to go talk to the driver" I state.

"I'll go with you" Hermione states.

"Not here! I'm here!" Harry exclaims as Neville tries to sit down. Neville mumbles an apology and goes to sit somewhere else instead. There was a loud hissing and a yelp of pain; Neville had tried to sit on Crookshanks.

"Ouch!" Neville cries.

"Quiet" a hoarse voice says. Professor Lupin appeared to have woken up at last. There was a soft, crackling noise, and a shivering light filled the compartment. Professor Lupin appeared to be holding a handful of flames. "Stay where you are" he tells us. He got slowly to his feet with his handful of fire held out in front of him.

But the door slid slowly open before Lupin could reach it. Standing in the doorway, illuminated by the shivering flames in Lupin's hand. Is a cloaked figure that towered to the ceiling. Its face was completely hidden beneath its hood.I notice a hand protruding from the cloak and it was glistening, grayish, slimy-looking, and scabbed. Like something dead that had decayed in water.

However, it was visible only for a split second. As though the creature beneath the cloak sensed my gaze, the hand was suddenly withdrawn into the folds of its black cloak. And then the thing beneath the hood, whatever it was. Drew a long, slow, rattling breath, as though it were trying to suck something more than air from its surroundings. An intense cold swept over us all.

That's when I realize what this creature is. It's a Dementor, a guard from Azkaban. "None of us is hiding Sirius Black under our cloaks. Leave" Lupin tells it. But it doesn't focusing on Harry and I notice Harry starting to faint.

"Expecto Patronum" I say and my owl slams into the Dementor with another patronus. It left and the train soon starts to move again. We gather around Harry, who soon wakes up. Professor Lupin gives us each a piece of chocolate before going to talk to the driver. "I'm going to go check on the others, see you at the carriages" I tell the others before leaving. Enjoying my chocolate.
