bat, grimm and the cat can fix it (Translation)

A train ride that's funny part 2

Ron and Hermione were huddled together and clinging to each other like drowning people. They looked at their teacher in panic.
"He is gone. Where's Harry? "
The students looked at each other in confusion. then they heard a muffled meow.
Crookshanks stood on the ground in front of them and had something in its mouth. With that he jumped into Harry's seat and dropped the bundle. Now you could see what it was.
"Harry?" Hermione asked in amazement.
severus smiled. The cat had curled up around the little kitten and Beast was also trying to warm the trembling bundle.
“That was probably a fear reaction. Occurs more often in Animagi. especially if they haven't had this skill for a long time, ”explained the teacher.
He went to his luggage and took out a large bar of chocolate. The man had stocked up on the candy in abundance. he didn't like her, but it helped against the chill of the Dementors. He handed each of the two Gryffindors large pieces. Then he turned to the little ball of fur. much to the frustration of Crookshanks and the book, he picked it up by the neck fur and put it in the crook of his arm.
“It will never be boring with you. Come on little one, they are gone, you can transform yourself back again. then you will also get a large piece of chocolate, ”the teacher tried to lure the boy.
Incredibly big eyes stared at him in panic. A low moan could be heard.
"I know. and you can be sure that I'll tell the old man a few more bars. Those things had no place here. "
Severus sat down and placed the cat on his lap.
The two students now looked curiously at their friend.
"It was clear that Harry was going to be something small and cute. But that's almost too cute, "said Ron.
His girlfriend was smiling shyly again.
"Right, what is it?"
Severus scratched the little one's head.
"A sand cat."
"Looks a bit like a cross between a fox and a cat," said Ron.

It took a few more minutes until Harry had calmed down enough to be able to transform himself back into his human form. severus immediately gave him the promised chocolate.
"What kind of things were they?" He asked, still trembling.
"Dementors, they eat souls and take away the will to live." This explanation came surprisingly from Ron. the others looked at him in amazement.
"What? We have tons of books on all kinds of magical beings. They are the only ones where my siblings and I wouldn't mind if they were exterminated. "
“It's just not possible,” Severus growled, “they were created magically. Out of fear and hopelessness. When they are around, all life withers. Plants, for example. It's getting cold and you see your worst memories. "
"Like murdering your own parents," Harry whispered.
Frightened faces looked at him. Severus immediately hugged the boy closer to him.
"I'm sorry little one, that should never have happened."
Harry nodded.

a knock made everyone look at the door in alarm.
Outside, the lady from the candy cart stood next to her, the silver doe.
"Professor, is that your Patronus?"
Severus nodded.
"Yes, he should make sure it's safe here."
“Thank you, he saved my life. Can I help you? The children are completely disturbed. "
Severus gently pulled away from Harry and walked over to the woman. The doe broke up again.
"Yes you can. please hand out hot chocolate to each student. And distribute all the candy you have on the train. Send the invoice to the ministry. And to the minister himself. he is ultimately responsible for this crap. "
The lady gave him a big look.
"Do you think he'll pay that too?"
“If he doesn't want to lose his job. Feel free to write the reason for it. it will probably be in the prophet tomorrow anyway. "
"Good. You should check out some of the kids by the way. Some got it just as hard as the boy behind you.
Severus turned to Harry. the little one held his book in his hand and at the same time stroked Crookshanks.
“All right, I'll take a quick look around the train. Can you do it alone? "
The three students nodded, albeit unhappily. under normal circumstances it would have made Severus grin that three lions of all people wouldn't let him go. But right now he understood all too well.
Contrary to his habit, he stroked each of the three heads. almost getting caught in Harry and Granger's hair. No wonder with the mess of curls. Then he left.
