Turn to Page 69, The Dementor. Today’s lesson is called External Threat. The chapter begins with Harry preparing to take the Hogwarts Express back to school, amidst a backdrop of having found out more about Sirius Black. He wants to share with Ron, but is getting interrupted by the chaos of all the Weasleys, him and Hermione getting ready for Platform 9 3-4. He notices Mr. Weasley’s subtle protective positioning and eventually confesses that he overheard Mr. and Mrs. Weasley talking about Sirius Black. Mr. Weasley stresses that Harry not go looking for Black no matter what he hears, before the kids finally disembark. On the train, our trio sit with a sleeping Professor Lupin. Harry recounts what he heard about Sirius Black before the train stops prematurely and is boarded by Dementors. One Dementor inspects their compartment, before Harry hears screaming and passes out. Lupin gives the students chocolate to help them recover and they eventually arrive at Hogwarts, but not before Neville accidentally spills that the Dementor affected Harry badly to Malfoy, who promptly makes fun of Harry because of it.
