章 14: chapter 14 : Dementor
(Somewhere in Egypt two and a half months later)
"Ready Harry?" Ron asked completely relaxed on his flying broom, it was the latest "firebolt" model, fast, precise and durable. He had let his hair grow.
"I'm ready and this time I'm not going to lose" Harry said on a broom of the same model with a focused look at the big sandstorm that was coming.
They were in the middle of the Egyptian desert because the family was on a vacation trip.
Beneath them, down below, was a chest vibrating as if something inside wanted to rush out.
Ron snapped his fingers and the chest opened to let out a Quidditch Golden Snitch and 10 bludgers who came out to head towards the sandstorm.
Since the start of the holidays, Ron had been practicing this exercise alone for fun but Harry joined him and it became a sort of training for him and his progress was numerous.
Fred and George also attended sometimes and had progressed in their position as drummers but today, they were not there.
Ron gave a count and they put on their goggles before the two flew towards the storm and the goal was to grab the golden Snitch inside.
Once they entered, they were shaken by the winds but still resisted, the bludgers tried to hit them but Ron's reflexes were supernatural and managed to avoid them without difficulty where Harry managed to do so but with difficulty.
Harry managed to spot the golden Snitch after a while and started to follow it when in the dust, two glowing green eyes followed him with Ron's laughter being heard.
Potter followed the little ball dodging the bludgers and almost grabbed it when Ron cut him off while laughing with Malice, he could have taken the golden Snitch but preferred to tease Harry.
Having lost his target, Harry quickly dodged to the right as a bludger went to hit him from behind, he heard someone clapping to congratulate him but didn't see where Ron was.
Moving again, he found the golden Snitch and after a frantic run, he was about to finally get her when Ron cut him off again by flicking him on the forehead and Harry wanted to laugh in frustration.
Ron did it three times in a row before Harry was finally able to grab the golden Snitch thanks to a feint that had worked on Ron. He immediately got out of the storm and Ron followed.
Ron: There, you got me!
Harry: You could have won several times!
Ron: But it wouldn't have been fun, you won fair and square and that's all that matters.
He clapped his hands twice and the chest came out of the sand before the golden Snitch and the bludgers wisely returned inside, he had bewitched the material himself.
Harry: Thanks to this training I made big progress in just one month and half!
"They're not going to see anything coming on the field this year," Ron said and they gave each other a high five before leaving.
Both boys had become young teenagers and had gained inches with a big growth spurt.
Fred and George asked them at the hotel who had won and when they found out it was Harry they were surprised before George gave Fred money, they had bet on them.
Late at night, in front of one of the pyramids, someone apparated there and it was Ron.
"I really hate this feeling even though it's convenient" He complained before entering the monument.
He went very deep into the pyramid before stopping in front of a very old stone tablet on which there were hieroglyphs almost completely erased.
He snapped his fingers and a notebook appeared in a cloud of smoke with a quill.
*tac-tac-tac*
He tapped his wand three times on Stone's tablet and golden hieroglyphs appeared where the old carvings had been before it was damaged by time.
The pen immediately began to copy these hieroglyphs.
Ron: This is the last tablet, with this I might have what I need to create this spell! The power to bring the dead back to life, African magic is truly on another level.
Once his task was completed, he apparated away again to leave.
A few days later, the family returned to London and they had reserved rooms at the Leaky Cauldron Inn near Diagon Alley where they would take the opportunity to buy this year's supplies and leave the children at station.
When they arrived, they saw Hermione and her parents there, the girl had gained a few centimeters too and came to greet them warmly while Arthur and Molly went to have tea with her parents.
Harry and Ron were very elegant and especially Ron who had let his hair grow, he was very pleasing to the eye and it works the hormones of the poor girl in early adolescence like them (Don't start having crazy ideas, it's a perfectly human thing for a young girl to start blushing for a boy at this age or vice versa! Diary and all that filth of adolescence).
They told her about their vacations and their spell training sessions but also about broomstick flying and she told them that she was bored but had taken a cat, a cat that had already had a lot of hair pulled out by Lucius with whom he fought.
Arthur later read the newspaper and seeing the article talking about Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban prison, his face became serious and he took Harry to go and talk to him about it in a corner.
Ron also read the article and was surprised because no one had ever escaped from Azkaban prison. His parents had a discussion later about it and Ron had listened to them without their knowledge.
Two days later, Harry, Ron and Hermione were on the train to Hogwarts and Ron was upset because he couldn't find Luna.
They found a cabin occupied by a sleeping man and Ron looked at his suitcase where his name was written.
Hermione: It's Professor R. J. Lupin!
Ron: I see that. He sleeps, this man knows how to travelo ! He can only be a good man.
Harry scoffed and Hermione rolled her eyes, they knew Ron liked to sleep.
Harry took the opportunity to tell them about what Arthur told him about Sirius Black definitely wanting to kill him and that annoyed Ron.
"Another year that will not be peaceful, heavens have mercy on me" Ron said laying his head on Hermione's shoulder who froze for a few seconds before he began to sleep peacefully, Harry looked smiling and she looked down in embarrassment.
As the journey continued and Ron was swimming in blissful sleep with his head on Hermione's lap (she's wearing jeans, calm down), the train suddenly stopped and the temperature dropped in free fall to the point where a thin layer of ice covered the windows.
Ron stirred a little in his sleep, frowning. The lights started to go out and then something opened the door to their cabin, it was a Dementor.
Harry and Hermione froze in terror upon seeing the dark, cold specter and he wanted to suck Harry's life force through his fear and negative emotions when Ron woke up to get angry.
"I'M TRYING TO SLEEP" He shouted in anger and held out his wand when a bird of pure light came out and chased the Dementor away.
Professor Lupin, who was about to intervene, looked at Ron in silence while surprise was evident in his mind.
He stood up and first looked at Harry's condition who fortunately had nothing, the Dementor had not done anything to him.
"I who was about to react, I must say that you successfully beat me to it! » He said looking at Ron who lazily sat up too.
Ron: He was disturbing my sleep, I don't know what a Dementor is doing there but it's dangerous and irresponsible by the Ministry.
« AH AH AH AH ! Talented and not afraid to express himself! Where did you learn the patronus spell?! » he said smiling.
Ron: I learned it on my own in one of my father's books without his knowledge, it was only afterwards that I knew what it was for.
Lupin: Incredible...! Truly breathtaking!
Lupin introduced himself and the others did the same, he gave them chocolate before leaving saying he was going to talk to the driver.
Ron asked Harry if he was okay before going back to sleep. When the train was almost there, they changed into their robes in the train bathroom and when they returned, Ron was already in his robe with a book on his face.
When Ron got off when the train arrived, someone pulled his dress from behind and he saw Luna who was also smiling and she too had grown up a little.
Ron immediately hugged her as he hadn't seen her in over two months.
Luna: I missed you.
When he heard this, his heart hurt a little.
Ron: I'm here now, I missed you too. Tell me how was your trip or vacation with your father?
They talked all the way to the school where everyone was at their house table except these two in their special place.
Ron listened in boredom as the small choir sang with Luna making cute little head bobs and when that noise stopped, Dumbledore made his speech and introductions to Lupin, the new professor of fighting against the dark arts.
He also warned of the Dementors the Ministry sent because of Sirius Black.
