Let me get this straight. Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban…

-…to come after you? -Yeah.

But they’ll catch Black, wont they?

-l mean, everyone’s looking for him. -Sure.

Except no ones ever broken out of Azkaban before…

-…and he’s a murderous, raving lunatic. -Thanks, Ron.

Why are we stopping?

We cant be there yet.

What’s going on?

l don’t know. Maybe we’ve broken down.

Ouch, Ron. That was my foot.

There’s something moving out there.

l think someone’s coming aboard.

Bloody hell! Wha’ts happening?

Harry.

Harry, are you all right?

Thank you.

Here, eat this. lt’ll help.

lt’s all right. lt’s chocolate.

What was that thing that came?

lt was a dementor. One of the guards of Azkaban. lts gone now.

lt was searching the train for Sirius Black.

lf you’ll excuse me, l need to have a little word with the driver.

Eat. You’ll feel better.

What happened to me?

Well, you sort of went rigid.

We thought maybe you were having a fit or something.

And did either of you two…

…you know…

-…pass out? -No.

l felt weird, though.

Like l’d never be cheerful again.

But someone was screaming.

A woman.

No one was screaming, Harry.

Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts.

Now, l’d like to say a few words…

…before we all become too befuddled by our excellent feast.

First, l’m pleased to welcome Professor R.J Lupin…

…who’s kindly consented to fill the post…

…of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Good luck, professor.

Of course. That’s why he knew to give you the chocolate, Harry.

Potter. ls it true you fainted?

-l mean, you actually fainted? -Shove off, Malfoy.

-How did he find out? -Just forget it.

Our Care of Magical Creatures teacher…

…has decided to retire…

…in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs.

Fortunately, l’m delighted to announce…

…that his place will be taken by none other…

…than our own Rubeus Hagrid.

Finally, on a more disquieting note…

…at the request of the Ministry of Magic…

…Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban…

…until such a time as Sirius Black is captured.

The dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds.

Now whilst l’ve been assured…

…that their presence will not disrupt our day-to-day activities…

…a word of caution.

Dementors are vicious creatures. They’ll not distinguish…

…between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way.

Therefore, l must warn each and every one of you…

…to give them no reason to harm you.

lt is not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving.

But you know, happiness can be found…

…even in the darkest of times…

…if one only remembers to turn on the light.

Fortuna Major.

Here, listen. She just wont let me in.

-Fortuna Major. -No, no. Wait, wait.

Watch this.

-Amazing. Just with my voice. -Fortuna Major.

-Yes, all right. Go in. -Thank you.

Still doing that after three years.

-She cant even sing. -Exactly.

-Hey, man. -Hey, man.

-Oh, God. -That’s awful.

Green. That’s a monkey.

-What is that? -You call that a monkey?

Do not give him one again.

Hey, Neville, try an elephant.

-Ron, catch. -l will.

l think we have a winner.

-Oh, don’t try one of them. -Oh, no.

Look at him. His face.
