Triangle Problem 2

[198]

Yn Emma Lestrange POV

Remus Lupin. His class is funny sometimes. I like him as a professor. He is good though. The problem is that today is not my day. I wake up in the morning and groan in pain. Tom changed clothes and after I went to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and after I changed into my Slytherin robe. I walked outside and took my wand and my book. Tom helps me to walk over to my first class. He continues walking down the hall. I don't have the same class as him for now. I walk inside and sit down. The lesson started.

"Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them... Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself... soulless and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life, and you will just be an empty shell that lost its soul.

A Dementor was a gliding, wraithlike Dark creature, widely considered to be one of the foulest of the dark creatures to inhabit the wizarding world. Dementors fed on human happiness and thus generated feelings of depression and despair in any person in close proximity to them. They could also consume a person's soul, leaving their victims in a permanent vegetative state, and thus were often referred to as "soul-sucking fiends", and the people they left soulless were deemed to have been turned into an "empty-shell".

Dementors were closely associated with Azkaban, as they were formerly employed by the British Ministry of Magic as the prison guards, and were not known to permanently inhabit any other location.

The Dementors of Azkaban were under the employ of the Ministry until mid-1996, when Lord Voldemort was sighted in the Ministry, and their defection to the Dark Lord's cause became undeniable. After the end of the Second Wizarding War in 1998, the Ministry was re-formed, and newly-appointed Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt ensured that they were not used by the government again, presumably due to their changing allegiance and support of Voldemort, and due to ethical reforms in the Ministry and Wizarding society at large.

There were certain defences one could use against Dementors, specifically the Patronus Charm. Dementors held no true loyalty, except to whoever could provide them with the most people to feed on. They seemingly could not be destroyed, though their numbers could be limited if the conditions in which they multiply were prevented from forming, implying that they did die off eventually" he finishes.

We took our notes. The class was dismissed. I packed my stuff and left the class. I go to my next class and sit down. I got ready for the lesson. Hope it's something good. Bill Weasley is the teacher. Weird but alright. He starts teaching.

"Today we'll go over a particularly sneaky creature: Chameleon Ghouls! There is nothing worse than an inconspicuous object turning into a ghoul when you least expect it. Which is why I'll show you how to handle these masters of disguise. Let's get started! I'd like to introduce you to a Chameleon Ghoul... And to show you how to defend yourself!

A Chameleon Ghoul was a breed of ghoul that could disguise itself as an everyday object to avoid detection. The Revelio Charm was capable of uncovering disguised Chameleon Ghouls and the Engorgement Charm was the most useful offence against them".

He continued talking and I took notes. Another class was dismissed. I packed and went on my next one. Snape again. Tom and Mattheo entered. Finally. I have company. We all sat together and Snape started teaching.

"The gnome is a common garden pest found throughout northern Europe and North America.

A gnome, or garden gnome, was a small magical beast commonly known to infest the gardens of wizarding households. The correct taxonomic name for gnomes was, purportedly, Gernumbli gardensi; they were sometimes referred to as Gernumblies. They were found throughout northern Europe and North America.
