"Let me get this straight. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban to come hunt you?" Ron asked.

"Yeah." Harry said.

"But they will catch Black won't they? I mean with everyone looking for him." Hermoine said.

Doubtful. I said in my head. I know my dad and if he broke out no one was going to find him.

"I mean yeah. Except no one has ever broken out of Azkaban before and he is a murderous lunatic." Ron said. I wanted to get up and punch Ron for saying that about my dad. Lupin knew that and he held onto me tighter until I was calm.

"Thanks Ron." Harry said.

All of a sudden the train came to a stop. The train felt as if it had just dropped 60 degrees. I knew what it was right away. A dementor that guarded Azkaban was getting on the train. I flinched in Lupin's arm. He knew what it was too.

"I think someone is coming abroad." Ron whispered. I could hear the 3 other people in the car's shaky breath.

"Bloody Hell!" Ron screamed as the train shook. "What is happening!" Ron yelled.

I heard the camrament door slide open. My breath caught in my throat. I heard a scary breath sound.

"Dad!" I screamed. He opened his eyes and stood up. He raised his wand and a light shot out of pushing the demeanor away. Harry fell over in the seat landing on me. "Ow." I whispered.

"Harry, are you alright.." Hermoine said, shaking him. He rolled around as Hermoine handed him his glasses. As he sat up off my lap I jumped up and walked to Lupin.

"Here eat this. You will feel better." Lupin said to Harry, handing him a piece of chocolate that he always had with him in his pocket. "It's alright, it's chocolate." Lupin sat down and I sat down beside him.

"What was that thing?" Harry asked.

"It was-" Lupin started before I cut him off.

"It was a dementor, they guard Azkaban. They were on the train looking for Sirius Black." I said.

"Sorry dad." I said looking over at him.

"It's alright Lily." He said. "If you will excuse me I need to have a little word with the driver." He said walking off.

"Dad?" I asked.

"Stay here Lily." He said. Harry took a bite of the chocolate.

"Hi." I said.

"Hello." Said Hermoine.

"My name is Lily Lupin." I said looking at them.

"My name is Hermoine and his is Ron and H-" She started before I cut her off.


"Harry Potter as I live and breathe." I said looking at him.

"Hi. Sorry I fell over into your lap." He said looking down.

"It's quite alright." I said.

"What happened to me?" Harry asked.

"Well you sort of went rigid, we thought maybe you were having a fit or something." Ron said.

"And did either of you too...you know passout?" He asked.

"No." Ron said, looking down. "I felt weird though. Like I would never be cheerful again." Ron squeaked.

"That's what the dementors do. They suck the happiness out of you." I said they all looked at me.

"But someone screamed, it was a woman." Harry said.

"No one was screaming Harry." Hermoine said.

After a silent ride without Lupin we finally arrived at Hogwarts. I did not see Lupin anywhere which made me scared in a way. When I unloaded my bags I walked up to the trio that were standing on by a carriage.


"Do you mind if I ride with you guys? I know we just met on the train but I don't know anyone else here." I said as they loaded in.

"Of Course you can." Hermoine said scooting over to leave me a seat.
