"What on earth is happening?" Mackenzie questioned as the train stopped in its tracks. That never happened with the Hogwarts Express. The three Ashryvers and Mackenzie were in their Prefect compartment, chatting with one another until the train came to a stop with a jolt, and they could hear luggage falling onto the floor of their rooms and the other compartments near them. With that happening, the lights went out.

"Lumos," Damon whispered.

"I will check with the driver," Athena said as she put on her school robes and checked that her wand was still under her sleeve. 

"I'll join you then," Mackenzie stated as she lit her wand. Athena wasn't against the idea. It's better to have someone than be alone.

"Is it just me, or did it suddenly get cold?" Mackenzie whispered as Athena instructed their schoolmates to stay in their compartments as they dealt with the situation. 

"Nope, I feel it too." The duo froze as they saw dementors stalking the corridors. "Why are there fucking dementors on the fucking train?" 

"Shit, Athena."

Athena raised her wand at the dementor as she hid Mackenzie behind her body, "Expecto Patronum!" The dementors turned around and glided away as the silvery light of joyful memories overpowered the darkness of hatred. Athena sensed her godfather running towards the two of them with worry.

"Athena! Are you okay?" Remus questioned as he checked on the two of them.

"I'm fine, we're fine. Kenzie is a little shaken, but we should be fine." Mackenzie nodded in confirmation as Remus let out a sigh. 

"Sir, the dementors are here for Sirius Black, aren't they?" Remus hummed as a confirmation. "But why are they on the train? It doesn't make sense."

Athena clenched her jaws and looked at her Godfather. Remus had as much idea as the two standing before him. Mackenzie informed that they were heading to the driver to check out what was going on, but the dementor appeared out of nowhere. 

"You two go back to your compartment while I go to the driver," Remus instructed as he left the two. They nodded and left the werewolf to his task. 

"How do you know him?"

"He's my Godfather. Also, he should be here as our DADA professor."
