Chapter 193 (1/2)

”Impossible, Ron...” Fanlin put down the book, no accident, this is Dementors on the car to check.

He pulled out his wand. ”Time is not up yet. We always arrive at night.”

”We can't be here.” Said Hermione, looking at her watch. ”Then why did it stop?”

The train went slower and slower. The sound of the wheels is less, and the wind and rain outside the window is louder. Harry was closest to the door and got up to see what was going on in the corridor. In all the carriages on the side of the corridor, there were people looking out. There's a bang on the rack. It means the train stops in the distance. Then all of a sudden all the lights went out and they were thrown into total darkness.

”What's the matter?” Ron's voice came from behind Harry.

”Ouch Hermione gasped, ”Ron, that's my foot!” Harry fumbled back to his seat. ”Did you say the train broke down?”

”I don't know...”

There was a short squeak, and Harry saw Ron's vague black outline. Ron wiped a clean spot on the windowpane and was looking out. ”There's something moving there,” said Ron. ”I guess people are going out...”

The door of the carriage suddenly opened and someone fell on Harry's leg in pain.

”Sorry! Do you know what happened? Ouch! Sorry... ”

”Hello, Neville.” Harry said, touching Neville's coat in the dark and pulling him up. ”Harry? Is that you What happened? ”

”I don't know! Sit down... ”

There was a loud hissing and a cry of pain, and Neville had been sitting on crook hill by mistake.

”Be careful, Neville!” ”Lumos!” exclaimed Fanlin

The blue light from van Lin's wand lit up the whole box. The box became very crowded. There were four of them, together with Neville and Professor Lupin.

Fanlin looked in the direction of Professor Lupin. According to the reason, there was no reason why lupin could still sleep. Besides, Lupin was close to the window, and there were some signs of ice on it. Fanlin was sure that when the Dementor inspected here, the window would definitely freeze completely.

”Neville, what are you doing here?” Hermione asked. She was a little cold, and then she leaned on van Lin's side.

”I want to go to the conductor and ask what's going on. After all, the train stopped suddenly and all the equipment seemed to be broken.”

”It's getting colder and colder...” Harry rubbed his hands to bring some temperature to his body.
