Hogwarts: Undercover Death Eater Replaces the Dark Lord

They arise from human negativity and feed on positive, happy emotions, appearing constantly... In short, they grow like fungus in rotten places.

These Dementors cannot be destroyed, and conventional magic has no effect on them!

Lycos shook his hair anxiously and stood up from the chair.

He thought that since these Dementors were circling around him, if he walked away a little further, he might be able to lure them away and save other young wizards from being harmed by the Dementors.

So, Lecos opened the car window.

Just as he was about to jump out of the window, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the direction of the third carriage.

"Expecto Patronum!"

It was the same spell that Lycos had just chanted, but the effect was completely different.

A silver wolf suddenly jumped out, like a ray of dawn light in the dark group of Dementors, cutting a dazzling light in the dim sky and earth.

Driven by the silver wolf, the Dementors scattered and fled in all directions, pouring out of the second carriage in a panic.

Soon, silence returned to the carriage.

In the light of the fire beside him, Lycos saw a set of patched clothes and a head of light brown hair with gray.

"How are you?" After driving away the Dementors, Lupin immediately took back his Silver Wolf Patronus and quickly walked to Lecos.

He didn't seem to want others to know the image of his patronus.

……

Chapter 203 An accident happened at the Wo Lei family

"I'm fine." Lycos glanced around and frowned, "But Cedric doesn't seem to be in good condition."

Cedric sat next to Lecos. When Lecos was surrounded by Dementors, he was the only one who faced the large group of Dementors. The pressure he endured was far beyond his acceptable limit.

In this extremely oppressive and heavy atmosphere, if Cedric hadn't possessed a mindset and abilities far superior to those of ordinary people, he might have gone mad...

"Leave it to me." Lupin nodded.

He tapped Cedric with his wand, and as a warm current passed through, Cedric's pale face became noticeably redder, and Youyou woke up.

"Well, you have a strong will. You didn't collapse even when facing a large number of Dementors at close range." Lupin put away his wand and said to Lecos, "Eat two pieces of chocolate first. You will be fine after a short rest."

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and walked to other parts of the carriage to check on the specific conditions of other students.

Seeing this, Lycos took out his snakeskin wallet, took out a box of chocolate frogs he had bought before, and stuffed it into Cedric's hand.

"Thank you." Cedric said weakly.

Cedric was still very weak. When he opened the package of the chocolate frog, the chocolate frog inside jumped out all of a sudden. He tried several times to catch it but failed.

"Sectumsempra."

As Lycos chanted the spell, an invisible sharp blade slashed across the chocolate frog, cutting it in half with great precision, without damaging the table in the box at all.

So, the chocolate frog that was cut in half couldn't jump up anymore, and could only flutter around on the table with its two feet.

"I didn't expect to have to trouble you with something like this." Cedric shook his head with a smile, picked up half of the Chocolate Frog from the table and stuffed it into his mouth. "By the way, has the Ministry of Magic gone mad? They actually dared to let Dementors get close to students..."

"I also think there might be something wrong with the Ministry of Magic..." Lycos curled his lips and then turned his gaze to the door of the box. "Hey, Draco, are you okay?"

At this time, a little wizard with light golden hair was standing by the door, followed by two fat men as big as hills.

"What can I do?" Draco raised his chin and said with his neck stiff.

But his still trembling arms and legs revealed his anxiety and fear.

"Don't try to hold on. Your legs are shaking so much you could almost run a sewing machine." Lycos spread his hands. "There's still room here. Take a seat."

Hearing this, Draco plopped down in the seat across from Lycos.

Crabbe and Goyle were also shaking badly. Seeing Draco sit down first, they couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground with two "pa" sounds.

"Hurry, do you have any chocolate? Give me one..." Draco slumped against the back of the chair and said weakly, "I can't take it anymore... These monsters are so scary. I feel like I'll never be happy in my life."

"I don't have any left." Lycos shrugged. "Don't you have a few in your bag?"

"Don't even mention it. Crabbe and Goyle devoured the chocolates I brought with me shortly after we got on the bus." Draco glared angrily at the two chubby guys slumped on the ground. "Where's the witch selling snacks?"

"The sales witch should be with the driver," Cedric said, "just past the prefects' carriage... but no one seems to have the energy to walk over there now, so you can eat this half first."

He picked up the remaining half of the Chocolate Frog and held it out to Draco.

"Oh, thank you." Draco took the half chocolate frog and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then he looked at Lecos and asked vaguely, "Lecos, do you know who that ragged wizard is? Could he be the new professor?"

"Well, he is Professor Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Lecos nodded.

"Is he really credible dressed like this?" Draco questioned, pouting as he munched on a Chocolate Frog. "He doesn't look like a Defense Against the Dark Arts master in these conditions..."

"You know what, Professor Lupin might be one of the most reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts in decades." Lycos smiled faintly. "Why, you don't believe it?"

Seeing Draco's skeptical look, he continued, "Professor Lupin at least handled the Dementor uprising easily. Why don't you try Lockhart and Quirrell? It would be strange if they didn't run away."

"That's true." Draco finally nodded helplessly. "Anyway, no matter how bad the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is, he can't be worse than Quirrell and Lockhart."

"And Professor Lupin seems quite responsible," Cedric said with a smile. "At least I saw that after dealing with the Dementors, Professor Lupin immediately went to help the affected students..."

"Indeed." Even Crabbe agreed. "He just hit me on the head with his wand, and I feel much warmer."

"Me too." Goyle agreed. "Otherwise we wouldn't be able to stand up and walk to Lycos's box."

"Cough cough..." Draco coughed twice, his face a little red.

It was indeed with the help of Professor Lupin that he was able to stand up from the ground, and then he forced himself to come to Lecos' box to ask for a chocolate frog... Now that he thinks about it, his questioning of Professor Lupin just now was indeed a bit unnecessary.

But Draco obviously couldn't admit that he was wrong. He quickly changed the subject and asked Lycos, "By the way, Lycos, haven't you found Cassandra yet?"

Lycos's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head slightly.

"Then maybe she really isn't in the car." Draco swallowed the last bit of chocolate and licked his black teeth. "I just remembered that my father mentioned something during the holidays... I think he said that the Volley family suddenly blocked the information?"

"What?!" Lycos' eyes widened suddenly and he pressed Draco's shoulders hard. "Can you remember what Mr. Malfoy said specifically? This is very important!"

"Hiss...be gentle." Draco slapped Lycos's hand away in pain and kept rubbing his shoulders. "I vaguely remember something... He said that the business project our family originally cooperated with the Volley family suddenly broke off..."

"First, the owl message didn't deliver. Later, we sent someone to inquire about the situation, but they were turned away. We couldn't contact anyone from the Volley family..."

As he listened to Draco's story, Lycos's expression grew heavier.

Now it is basically certain that something must have happened to the Wo Lei family!

It's hard to say what happened, but Cassandra didn't even have time to reply to a message through the two-way log, so the matter must be serious...

"Do you know the address of the Vole family?" Lycos asked in a deep voice.

"Address? What are you going to do?" Draco was surprised. "You don't want to go to the Wally's house to find her?"

"Don't worry about it, just tell me whether you know or not." Lycos said.

"I definitely don't know." Draco shook his head, "But Dobby knows. My father always asks Dobby to deliver some urgent business letters."

"Okay, I understand." Lycos nodded and then fell silent.

"No, Lycos, you don't really want to go to the Volleys, do you?" Draco pressed. "There's no point in you going... They don't even want to do business anymore, so why would they want to see you?"

"The biggest problem is that we've already started school," Cedric added. "We basically have no chance to leave Hogwarts Castle before Christmas."

Both of them looked at Lycos, but he didn't answer or even move, as if he had turned into a stone, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, Lycos shook his head gently.

"Don't worry, I have no plans to go to the Wally's." He looked at Draco and Cedric and said softly.

"Phew, that's good." Draco breathed a sigh of relief. "I was just worried that you'd suddenly run over there by yourself and get into an accident... Let me tell you, my dad doesn't know what happened there and doesn't think it's safe."

Cedric didn't say much, but just looked at Lycos thoughtfully.

Just then, the box door was knocked.

Several people turned their heads and saw Professor Lupin standing at the door, waving to Lecos.

"Lex, come here for a moment," he said.

Lecos nodded, stood up and followed Professor Lupin to a deserted corner of the carriage.

You can see that Harry is already waiting here.

Harry didn't know what he had been through. His face was very pale and there was a hint of embarrassment in his expression.

Lecos guessed that he must have been infected by the Dementors and fell into a coma, just like in the original book.

"Professor, can you tell me what these Dementors are all about?" Harry asked impatiently when he saw Lupin. "Didn't Dumbledore tell the Ministry of Magic about Sirius's situation?"

Lupin pressed his palms together, signaling Harry to keep his voice down.

He looked around, took out his wand, and whispered, "Muffliato."

The noisy sounds around immediately became quiet.

"Listen, Harry," Lupin said seriously under the earplugs, "until Sirius is officially rehabilitated, what we say is shocking and should not be heard by others."

Harry pursed his lips sadly.

"I see," he said.

"I'm glad you understand." Lupin nodded slightly, then glanced at Lycos. "I called you here today to talk about the Dementors... Dumbledore of course informed the Ministry of Magic about Sirius, but the Ministry of Magic believed that we did not have enough evidence."

"What?!" Harry cried in surprise. "But...didn't Dumbledore have Peter Pettigrew with him?"

"Yes, we all thought Peter could serve as proof of Sirius' innocence." Lupin sighed, "But Peter refused to admit his guilt and kept protesting... The Ministry of Magic also believed that Peter's survival meant nothing and that Sirius was still a serious criminal suspect."

"Has the truth serum been used?" Lycos asked suddenly.

"No." Lupin shook his head. "Veritaserum is a controlled drug. Ministry of Magic laws do not allow it to be used in interrogations, and statements made by suspects under the control of Veritaserum cannot be used as evidence to accuse them of a crime."

"But... this isn't fair!" Harry exclaimed. "Sirius was sent to Azkaban without a trial, and now there's evidence to overturn his conviction, but the Ministry won't allow the use of Veritaserum. How can that be justified?"

"I think it's precisely because Sirius Black hasn't been tried that the Ministry of Magic doesn't agree to use Veritaserum on Peter Pettigrew." Lycos sneered, "They don't want to admit their mistakes."

"But... why?" Harry's eyes widened. "Can they bear to watch an innocent person be imprisoned in Azkaban for life?"

"You overestimate the conscience of politicians, Harry." Lycos curled his lips. "To consolidate their power, what does an innocent person matter? Moreover, in their eyes, whether Sirius is guilty or not, escaping from Azkaban is a mistake..."

"Ahem..." Seeing that Lecos was going too far, Lupin coughed twice to interrupt him. "There are some things you shouldn't say carelessly. Be careful, walls have ears... Even the ear-blocking spell isn't a panacea."
