Chapter 307 Hermione Granger

Lupine, who was confronting the Dementors, heard another shrill cat howl behind him. He was worried that Fish would attack the Dementors without knowing the importance of it, so he raised his wand and planned to use the Patronus Charm.

However, just as he raised his hand, he felt something hit his back. Lupine, who was already weak, staggered and involuntarily threw himself at the Dementor in front of him.

Fortunately, he twisted his body in time, stumbled two steps to the left, hit his head on the sliding door of the compartment, and then sat down on the ground.

Lupine, who fell to the ground, ignored the pain in his body and had no time to stand up. He just sat on the ground and moved back on his hands and feet, away from the Dementors at the door.

After quickly retreating a distance, Lupine found that the Dementor did not pay attention to him at all. At the same time, a stream of hot air sprayed on the back of his neck, making him feel chills all over his body.

Lupine turned around suddenly, and the tabby cat that was behind him had disappeared, replaced by a huge white tiger, with a tiger head hanging directly behind him, very close at hand.

The hot air just now was the tiger's breath.

"Whoops——"

Another ball of hot air hit Lupine's dull face, making him shiver violently, and then Lupine once again rolled and crawled away to the side.

After pulling away, Lu Ping could see more clearly. It was a majestic-looking white tiger that was over two meters long.

Unlike the silver tiger's grayish coat, the white tiger's stripes are distinctly black and white, and exude a breathtaking sense of oppression.

Lu Ping just watched from the side and subconsciously tensed up. The white tiger in front of him seemed to be a superior... or his natural enemy, which gave him the idea of ​​​​escape, and even took pictures. The impact of the ghost monsters has been greatly weakened as a result.

However, the white tiger never paid attention to Lupine from the beginning to the end. It stared directly at the Dementor at the door, with a fierce light shining in its green eyes.

Lu Ping shook his head, suppressing the thought of escaping in his heart, and looked at the white tiger who was confronting the dementors with a somewhat confused expression...

Things developed so fast that his head was a little hard to turn around.

After being stunned for a while, Lu Ping roughly guessed what the white tiger was... In fact, it couldn't be anyone else except Fei Xu.

It's just a guess. Whether you can accept it or not is another matter...

Although silver tabbies and white tigers are somewhat similar to some extent...

But cats and tigers are completely different concepts, right?

Are the born Animagus such magical beings? !

Lu Ping thought that he was well-informed, but he was still shocked by Feishu's operation of transforming a cat into a tiger.

After finally calming down the shock in his heart, Lu Ping did not speak rashly, because there was obviously something wrong with Fei Xu's current situation, which reminded Lu Ping of his state when he transformed into a wolf.

Considering that there were Harry and the others beside him, Lupine tightened his grip on the wand in his hand, not daring to relax at all.

After confronting the dementors for a while, the white tiger Fei Xu transformed into made new moves.

The originally slightly bent limbs suddenly straightened, his chest stood up high, and the hair around his head suddenly exploded. At the same time, Fish shook his head, opened his bloody mouth, and let out a roar like thunder.

"Roar--!!!"

The huge roar even made the glass of the car window tremble slightly, and Lu Ping and others on the side turned pale, and an uncontrollable feeling of fear suddenly surged into their hearts, which were already very tight. His body was so stiff that he did not dare to move at all, and a large amount of cold sweat quickly broke out on his palms and back.

Neville, who was already a bit timid, was sweating profusely. Not only was his face pale, but even his lips were bloodless, looking like he might faint at any time.

But at this time, Feishu didn't pay attention to them at all. The white tiger lowered his body slightly, and then suddenly rushed towards the dementor outside the door, his huge claws with a layer of red light. , whistling and photographing the Dementor.

The slightly narrow door frame of the compartment was directly smashed by Fei Xu along with the sliding door.

The dementor photographed by Fish let out a strange and piercing scream and hit the wall of the corridor. However, due to the dementor's body characteristics that were somewhat similar to ghosts, it seemed a little light when it hit the wall. , and there was nothing similar to falling.

However, the black cloak on his body was still torn by Feishu's tiger claws, revealing his gray-white body like rotten flesh, and on it, there were four scars scratched by Feishu.

The skin and flesh from the wound of the claw mark were rolled up, but there was no trace of blood. Instead, some sticky pus-like liquid flowed out, as well as a faint drift of black air.

The scratched dementor made a series of rapid and weird sounds, seeming a little angry, but what responded to him was the roar of a tiger from Feishu.

"Roar--!!!"

Fish roared again, his sharp claws scratched claw marks on the floor, and he lowered his body again, ready to pounce.

The dementor seemed to be frightened by Fish and plunged directly towards the corridor window.

Although the Dementor looked tall, its actual body shape was very "slender". To be precise, it should be shriveled, so it easily got out of the window, like a ball of black ink, from the narrow It "flowed" out of the window and quickly disappeared into the dark rainy night.

"Bang!"

Fish, who wanted to continue chasing, smashed the window with a slap. However, the narrow window could not allow him to get out. In addition, the metal shell of the Hogwarts Express train that had been cast with protective magic was not like a compartment. Wooden sliding doors are easily damaged.

"Roar--!!!"

Seeing his prey go away, the furious Feish slapped the wall of the corridor a few more times, leaving pits and claw marks on it. A steel whip-like tail whipped around, hitting the already tattered Wood chips were flying on the rotten sliding door.

Fisch, who failed to destroy the carriage, irritably scratched the ground with his claws, scratching the floor of the train and the carpet on it. Then he turned around and looked at the people in the compartment with eager eyes.

"Collapse!"

"All petrified!"

"Confinement quickly!"

Lupine, who had been prepared for a long time, pointed his wand at Fish and fired several magic spells.

But these curses only made him shake his head in annoyance, and then he became even more angry.

"Roar--!!!"

Feeling that he had been provoked, Fish immediately changed his target and rushed towards Lupine.

"There are many obstacles!"

"Armor protection!"

"Protect them all!"

Lu Ping's expression changed slightly and he quickly used several defensive spells. Judging from the brief confrontation with Fei Xu just now, he was still very competent as a professor of defense against dark arts.

It's a pity that Fei Xu's power in the form of a white tiger has been exaggerated to a level that far exceeds that of ordinary magical creatures. The defensive spells used by Lupine almost collapsed in front of his red-glowing tiger claws.

"Bang!"

The huge tiger claws slapped Lupine's body, and his thin body was knocked away by Fish's slap. He hit the luggage rack in the compartment and passed out.

Seeing that Fish was going to continue to attack Lupine, Hermione, who had also been scared to the ground before, didn't know where the courage came from at this time, suddenly rushed in front of Fish, and held his arms with her hands. neck.

"Feixu don't want it! Stop it!"

Hermione was trembling and hugging the white tiger's head, suppressing the fear in her heart, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Fish turned his attention to Hermione, and his thick and wet breath hit her face, making her body stiffen slightly, but soon she continued to stroke the hair on Fish's neck and gently touched her face with her cheek. Gently rubbing Fei Xu's head, the originally trembling voice gradually calmed down.

"Okay, Fish, the bad guy has escaped. Professor Lupine is not a bad guy..."

Under Hermione's soft soothing voice, the hair that exploded around the white tiger's head gradually retracted, the fierce green eyes gradually calmed down, and the huge body quickly shrank, turning back into a cat-like shape with cat ears and a tail. human appearance.

"Hehe...it's Hermione, meow..."

Fish showed a silly smile to Hermione, and then moved his head towards her face, as if he wanted to rub her.

As a result, as soon as his body leaned forward a little, he felt his whole body go weak. Then Maomao's vision went dark and he fell directly into Hermione's arms.

Dementors themselves are physical and cannot pass through walls like ghosts, but they can float.

Judging from Rowling's description, the dementor under the black robe should resemble a half-rotten corpse.

…

In fact, I have revised several versions of this chapter. I have basically written the plot you guessed in the chapter description of the previous chapter. Everyone's ideas are indeed very similar.

But I finally decided on this version because I felt that instead of Fish killing everyone, it would be more in line with the tone of the book to focus on his growth and Hermione's feelings.

I'm not sure which version is better, but I personally prefer this version.

And I don’t want to write a labeled heroine. Hermione’s love for Fish should not just be addicted to sucking cats, and Fish’s love for Hermione is not just because she has transformed into a cat person and has been with her. Professor McGonagall is very similar, and they need some deeper emotional foundation, otherwise the heroine will be no different from other girls.

Hermione's behavior here may still be a bit abrupt, but I'm really not good at writing emotional scenes. I've tried my best to lay the groundwork before. In addition, they are at the age of youth and passion, and Hermione is still a Gryffindor. So...that probably makes sense?

If you have any suggestions, please tell me and I will use them as a reference.

And in the last paragraph, I originally wrote that Fish turned back into a cat and passed out, but after thinking about it, I changed it to a cat-human form.

Just as Fish starts to grow taller, this represents his recognition of the "human" side of himself.
