"I didn't mean to blow her up... I just... lost control." Harry explains as Ron chuckles.

We walk behind Ron and Harry as we walk into the empty compartment with them.

I didn't want to sit with them but it would take far to long to find Draco.

I sit next to Hermione as she sat between me and Ron. Harry had taken the seat next to the strange man.

"Who do you think that is, Harry?" Ron asks as I open the diary which I had changed to look slightly different from the original.

"Professor R.J. Lupin." Hermione answers as she reads off of the suitcase.

"Nerd..." Ron mutters as Hermione glares at the boy harshly.

I roll my eyes as I get out a fountain pen and start to write to Tom.

'Hey tom!'

'Y/n? Shouldn't you be at hogwarts by now?'

'Nah, just got on the train!'

'Well, is there anything wrong?'

I grin slightly in amusement at the words as they fade onto the page.

'Awww, is mr oh-so-mean-and-evil dark lord caring about me?!'

The diary heats up as I snicker quietly at the dramatic actions of the teenage dark lord.

'Shut it. I could kill you if I wanted to.'

'If you wanted to, you would have already.'

'Y/n?'

'Yes?'

'Do shut up.'

I snicker as I close the diary but leave it resting in my lap, nyx hissing happily as if she were laughing.

"Do you think he's really asleep?" Harry asks as I look at the man.

I doubt he's asleep, his breathing patterns are slightly off and his eyelids twitch every so often.

"Seems to be. Why?" Mione answers with a shrug as Harry looks at him.

"I've got to tell you something." Harry explains as Weasel boy rolls his eyes as he thinks nobody noticed.

I glare at the weasel as he shudders and looks away.

———

"Let me get this straight. Sirius black has escaped from Azkaban to come after you?" Weasel boy asks, shocked.

"Yeah, And y/n." Harry corrects as weasel boy scoffs but nods.

"They'll catch black, won't they...?" Hermione asks as she lays her hand on mine fearfully before looking at Harry again. "I mean, everyone's looking for him."

"I'm not sure... there's something... off... about the entire situation." I mutter to Hermione as she glances at me and nods.

"Sure. Except no one's ever broken out of Azkaban before, and... he's a murderous, raving lunatic." Ron stares sarcastically as I notice the unknown man shrink back slightly.

Perhaps they have a connection to black...? Or they're just scared of being killed.

"Thanks, Ron." Harry says, sarcasm dripping off his tongue.

Suddenly the trains screeches to a stop.

"Why are we stopping?" Mione asks as Harry gets up and opens the door, glancing outside.

The train the makes a loud rumbling sound of shakes, making Harry fall back into the seat and the door slam shut.

"What's going on?!" Ron yells, clearly panicked.

"Don't know. Maybe we've broken down..." Harry says before the lights shut off and the door closes.

"There's something moving out there..." Ron mutters as we all stare on the foggy, rain-stained glass.

"I think... someone's coming aboard!" Ron exclaims quietly with a whimper as the train shakes.

Panic rises up in my stomach before suddenly, I feel my mind go blank, as if I were enterally frozen and numb.

Ice cracks on the window as the bottle that was off to the side earlier freezes over.

I stare numbly at the window before suddenly, the diary heats up in a panic.

I flinch as I snap out of the state and open the diary, reading the messages which had a rather messy handwriting as opposed to normal.

'Y/n? Are you okay? It's gone cold all of a sudden.'

'Y/n answer me.'

'Y/n!'

'I swear to Merlin if you don't answer me—'

I cut him off from finishing the sentence as i right a quick response, just to let him know I'm here.

'Tom, I'm alright!'

'What's happening on the train right now?'

'It's... cold—'

I didn't get to write anymore as a ghastly figure appears in the doorway.

The door opens as the figure I can now recognize as the dementor looks around the room.

Hermione cat hisses at it as scabbers quickly flees to inside Ron's bag.

Nyx hisses at it threateningly as the dementor payed no mind to any of the animals.

It turns towards me briefly then Harry as he goes closer to Harry.

Harry gasps as his soul is slowly sucked out of his body, everyone was frozen in place until the professor had stood up and casts a spell at it— making it shriek and fly away.

I look down at Harry as I sit down next to him, pulling his head into my lap as I run my fingers through the soft brown hair.

"Get away from him you slimy snake!" Ron yells suddenly as I glare at him which makes him shrink back.

"Everybody calm down!" The teacher then yelled as I look up at him with worry in my eyes before looking back down at Harry.

"Everything is alright, the dementor won't return here, but..." he trails off as he digs through his bag and pulls out a bar of chocolate.

"Here." He states simply as he hands each of us a piece.

"Thanks..." I mutter while taking a bite out of the piece in my hands. The warm feeling goes through my body as I sigh softly.

"Thank you! But what happened to Potter?" Hermione asks curiously with a hint of worry at the end.

"Don't worry. He should be alright. What are your names?" He asks as he sits back down.

"My name is y/n potter, this is Harry..." i trail off as I look down at the boy who lays unconscious in my lap.

"Hermione granger!" Hermione greets with a wide grin as lupin returns the gesture with a small smile.

"Ron Weasley..." Weasel boy mutters with a scowl as lupin looks at the boy suspiciously before looking back at me.

"And you seem to have a companion there...?" Lupin asks with a small grin as nyx hisses at him happily, wiggling around.

"I almost forgot! Her name is nyx." I explain as nyx nods excitedly.

Lupin smiles at the reptile as suddenly Harry's eyes slowly open.

"Potter? You alright there?" Hermione questions as she looks at him, Harry sits up as I give him his glasses.

"Thanks..." he mutters as I roll my eyes and fix his messy hair.

"Here, eat this. It'll help." Lupin says while handing Harry some chocolate. He sits up next to me as Hermione kneeled by me, Ron still sitting across from us as Lupin took the seat next to him.

"It's all right. It's chocolate." Lupin explains as he notices Harry's hesitation.

Harry sits up and glances around as his eyes land on the door that the dementor previously stood.

"Wha-what was that thing... That came?" Harry asks nervously as I look at him in slight worry.

"It was a dementor, one of the guards of Azkaban, it's gone now. It was searching the train for... Sirius black." Lupin explains with hesitation when saying Sirius blacks name.

"If you'll excuse me, I need to have a little word with the driver." Lupin says to us before walking over to the door, opening it and offering us a smile as he faces us momentarily. "Eat. You'll feel better."

Lupin then walks off as Hermione goes to sit back down next to Weasley.

"What happened to me...?" harry asks while taking a bite of the chocolate.

"Well you went rigid. I thought you were having a fit or something." Weasley answers as Hermione slaps his head violently, causing him to glare at her which she returns with an equally as rude glare.

"And-and did any of you three... you know... pass out?" Harry asks with hesitation as I sigh quietly.

"No. I felt weird, though. Like I'd never be cheerful again." Ron says dejectedly as Harry looks at him confused.

"But someone was..." he trails off as he notices the look I'm giving him, he nods as he sighs and stares out the window.
