Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Page #3

- Professor R.J. Lupin.

- Do you know everything?

How is it she knows everything?

- It's on his suitcase, Ronald.

- Oh.

- Do you think he's really asleep?

- Seems to be. Why?

I gotta tell you something.

Let me get this straight.

Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban...

...to come after you?

- Yeah.

But they'll catch Black, won't they?

- I mean, everyone's looking for him.

- Sure.

Except no one's ever broken out

of Azkaban before...

...and he's a murderous, raving lunatic.

- Thanks, Ron.

Why are we stopping?

We can't be there yet.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Maybe we've broken down.

Ouch, Ron. That was my foot.

There's something moving out there.

I think someone's coming aboard.

Bloody hell! What's happening?

Harry.

Harry, are you all right?

Thank you.

Here, eat this. It'll help.

It's all right. It's chocolate.

What was that thing that came?

It was a dementor. One of the guards

of Azkaban. It's gone now.

It was searching the train

for Sirius Black.

If you'll excuse me, I 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.

I felt weird, though.

Like I'd never be cheerful again.

But someone was screaming.

A woman.

No one was screaming, Harry.

Welcome! Welcome to another year

at Hogwarts.

Now, I'd like to say a few words...

...before we all become too befuddled

by our excellent feast.

First, I'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. Is it true you fainted?

- I 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,

I'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 I'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.
