Shadows flickered through the carriage. Sulfur and scorched earth filled the air.
Hellfire consud flesh. A skeletal form erged from the flas.
Fire licked across the bones. Lava-like patterns flowed across the black suit. Twisted roars echoed from the white bone throat.
Blazing flas roared in the hollow eye sockets. Gleaming with sinister, cold light. Like they could see every sin in the world.
Remus Lupin froze at the compartnt door. Eyes wide with disbelief.
It happened so fast. Yet so overwhelming. A ssenger from hell stood before him.
"rlin's rotten wand."
"What am I seeing..."
Remus muttered.
The Dentors flooding the carriage stopped. Their tattered black robes trembled uncontrollably. The heat waves felt like blades cutting them.
Pale bone fingers wrapped in hellfire grabbed the still-regenerating Dentor. Hellfire exploded. Like hitting fuel. Ignited the air.
Strange black flas burst from the Dentor's body. Destructive power mixed with deep darkness. Made everything around it look more sinister.
Piercing soul-waves of agony echoed through the carriage.
Like encountering a curse from another world.
Black flas devoured all light and life. The entire carriage drowned in death and despair.
The Dentors finally moved.
These creatures who'd never known fear—now desperately surging toward the exit.
Tiger pressed his hand against the carriage wall. White jawbone opened slightly. A hoarse laugh escaped.
Hellfire surged like it was alive. Spread rapidly. Consud the entire section.
Flas swept every corner. Terrified screams erupted from each compartnt.
Remus dodged the flas frantically. Tried calming the students.
But then—
He noticed sothing on a first-year. The roaring flas weren't hurting them. When he reached into the fire, he felt... purified?
Purified?
Why did that word co to mind?
Staring at that sinister skeletal figure, Remus fell into thought...
The Dentors were terrified. The first-years more so.
They hadn't learned magic yet. Hadn't truly understood the magical world. This felt like actual hell.
tal twisted under hellfire's touch. Turned deep crimson. Like lava flowing through hell.
Wood turned to black charcoal. Reeked of sulfur.
Oppressive fear spread.
The entire carriage seed wrapped in invisible evil. No escape...
Dentors trapped at the entrance.
Like prey cornered. Facing Tiger's approach, they had nowhere to go. Chaotic soul-waves rippled. Like they were cursing.
"Hm?"
A crisp clink. Tiger paused. Looked down at the ash. Bent down. Picked up a unique crystal.
Pure black. Translucent. Red light flowing across its surface. Like obsidian wrapped in lava. Radiating mysterious, scorching energy.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity washed over him.
"Interesting..."
Sensing the weak soul-wave inside the crystal, Tiger glanced at the other Dentors with surprise.
He'd thought Dentors were just darkness and despair combined. Only good for making hellfire burn brighter. Nothing else. Didn't expect a bonus.
"Let's see then."
"What you can give ..."
Bone-chilling laughter echoed from the pale jaw.
Surging flas crashed toward the remaining Dentors like waves. Vengeful souls roared within.
"Look at , scum!"
"You are GUILTY!"
The terrifying skeleton burst through the flas. Grabbed a Dentor by the collar. Fire exploded from its eyes.
Tiger didn't know if Dentors had vision. If they counted as life. But as the Dentor before him turned to stone, then crumbled to dust—
The question beca irrelevant.
Guilty was enough.
And whoever he said was guilty, was guilty.
Like molten lava igniting dormant kindling, brilliant hellfire roared.
Crimson patterns and rising black flas intertwined. Before hellfire, Dentors beca fragile prisoners. Wrapped in black fire, they trembled and struggled. But couldn't escape being burned to nothing.
Ten seconds.
These once-terrifying jailers turned to drifting ash. Only crystals remained.
The carriage fell silent.
Hellfire clinging to the walls rolled back. Twisted tal, charred wood—restored.
Heavy footsteps echoed through the corridor.
Firelight flickered.
The sinister skeleton stopped outside a compartnt. Through the glass, stared at the first-years inside.
White bone fingers pointed at the fire-lit hollow eyes. Then at the pale-faced students.
At Remus's prompting, the panicked students frantically nodded. Tiger moved to the next compartnt, satisfied...
The train's lights suddenly blazed. Flickered urgently. Finally stabilized.
Chaotic footsteps echoed through the corridor.
The Dentors' disappearance—
The Aurors panicked completely.
To prevent accidents, they'd assigned only two Dentors per carriage section to search for Sirius Black. The rest guarded the entrances.
Truth was, they knew the order was absurd. But facing orders from Auror Command, they had no choice.
To avoid being targeted by certain pure-blood nobles, many Aurors left the train after releasing the Dentors. Stood at the outermost periter under the excuse of preventing Sirius's escape.
Especially Tiger's carriage.
Remus Lupin had been a Hogwarts legend. Learning this new professor was there, the Aurors in that section cleared out completely.
Out of sight, out of mind.
But after it ended—
Fourteen Dentors had vanished.
This massive dereliction of duty sent them frantically searching every carriage.
As for the firelight in Remus's section? Perfectly normal to the Aurors. Encountering Dentors, silence would've been the real problem.
Every carriage had repelling spells. Even without the Patronus Charm, other magic appeared.
They couldn't disobey the Ministry's orders. But these students and professors could. Fudge wouldn't dare say anything.
They just hadn't expected—
Soone would actually destroy Dentors.
And only one thing could destroy Dentors:
A powerful Patronus Charm.
They questioned carriages where Patronuses appeared. Got nothing useful. Just endless curses.
Every terrified, grim face burned with fury at the Ministry and Aurors.
Finally, the Aurors fled the train in disgrace.
