2. Dementors

A/N so I kind of put them changing a bit too early so just pretend that the train ride was longer.

The train slows to a stop. I glance at he others to see if this is normal but my confused/frightened expression is mirrored by all of them.

My breath starts coming out in puffs. Ice crackles along the window the water bottle in Theo's hand freezes. He drops it surprised it hits the ground shattering. I turn away to avoid being hit by ice.

A large dark shadow is visible through the glass door. Its boney hand wraps around the edge of the door frame. I whimper and lean into Enzo's, who was sitting next to me, shoulder. He wraps his arm around my waist pulling me close.

I had been expecting that the dementor would leave but instead it comes closer to Enzo and me. 

"Expecto Patronum." I say pointing my wand at him. My partonus takes the form of a red panda chasing the dementor away. I let out a shaky breath leaning against Enzo.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Malfoy asks looking over at me. His eyes narrow at the sight of Enzo's arm around my waist I pull away from Enzo blushing.

"A dementor." Enzo and I say together. We glance at each other and chuckle.

"They're guards for Azkaban, searching the train for-" my voice fades off realizing why the dementor was so interested in me.

"For Sirius Black." Enzo finishes for me. I nod twirling my wand around my fingers. "Also you can cast a partonus??" He adds this last part looking at me.

"Uuh ya. A teacher at Beauxbatons taught me after one dementor started following because I had Sirius Black's DNA. Since they can't see they know who you are by your DNA." I explain briefly.

(I do not own any of Dumbledore's speech it belongs to J.K. Rowling)

"Welcome welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Now I would like to say a few words before we become to befuddled by our excellent feast. First I am pleased to introduce Professor R.J. Lupin, who has kindly considered to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Good luck professor." Dumbledore motions for Professor Lupin to stand and we give him polite applause. 

"Potter" I hear Draco say and turn to figure out what's going on. "Potter" Harry who I hadn't realized was sitting behind me turned around. "Is it true you fainted you actually fainted?" He teases him. The boy next to him fakes fainting. "Draco." I say slapping his arm. I look at him with warning eyes tell him to stop. Though Harry may not know I'm his god sister is still my job to look after him. 

"Our care of magical creatures for many years has decided to retire to spend more time with his remaining limbs. Fortunately I'm delighted to announce that his place will be taken by none other than our own Rubeus Hagrid." A teacher farther on the right side stands almost knocking over the table a few glasses fall to the ground a cheer comes from the Gryffindor table behind me while the rest of us clap.

"Finally, on a more describing not, at the request of the ministry of magic, Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban. Until such a time Sirius Black is captured." I stiffen at the name of my dad Mattheo reaches under the table and squeezes my hand. "the dementors will be stationed at every entrance the grounds or else I have been assured that their presence will not disrupt out day to day activities, a word of caution. Dementors are vicious creatures, they will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore, I must warn each and every one of to give them no reason to harm you. It's not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving. But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of time if one only remembers to turn on the light." As he says this he waves his hand in front of the candles causing them to blow out and relight.
