Harry finally woke up, thank the gods. He gets seated back in his seat as the professor leaves the compartment to communicate with someone. Celestine sits beside Harry and feeds him the piece of chocolate the professor gave her.

"Who's that professor again?" Celestine asked as she brushed Harry's disheveled hair to wipe all the sweat off of his forehead.

"Professor Lupin? I think." Hermione says, standing up and taking a closer look at Harry along with Ron. "How're you feeling, Harry?"

"Bit lightheaded." Harry said weakly, looking a bit pale.

"Just rest, don't talk." Ron says calmly before offering Harry a bottle of water.

As Celestine saw Harry drinking water and Ron tending to him, she turned to Hermione.

"Hermione, can I talk to you?"

"Sure."

The two leave the compartment and talked outside, as the train begins moving once more.

"What did you want to talk about?" Hermione raises her eyebrow and looks at the raven-haired girl.

"About those demented thingies that looked like the Grim Reaper."

"The Dementors? What about them?"

Celestine stops in her tracks and turns to Hermione, her expression grim.

"Why did that affect Harry so bad? And why, when I walked past it before I got back to the compartment, it just ignored me?"

"Harry had a hard life; his parents died in front of him at the hands of You-Know-Who when he was a baby, and ever since he started Hogwarts, he's been in a ton of danger."

"I never knew that, wow. I'm surprised he hasn't gone insane yet."

"And you, you didn't experience something just as bad as Harry's, and that's probably why the Dementors didn't affect you just as much," Hermione says once more, before staring at the empty bathroom. "I have to go to the bathroom."

"Alright, take your time." Celestine nods her head, standing in the middle of the hallway to wait for Hermione.

So that's why the Dementor didn't affect me that much...Or maybe the fact that losing memory helps with that.
