So should we run some sort of refresher course on patronuses for everyone? And how do we want to handle it for the train? Let Dorny announce it since I seem to recall she's an expert at that? Or are we keeping it quiet until we've got more confirmation than chocolate? (By the way, Hermione, you should probably hide my chocolate so I don't accidentally eat it some night).

Right.

Guess you've already heard the rumors we might be getting Dementors. So anyone who can cast a patronus, or who can't and wants to learn, a few of us will be working on that. Figure we'll commandeer a car, clear it out some, and work our magic.

More bad news, yay!

So, anyone who hasn't eaten their chocolate yet, don't we suggest you don't. We strongly suspect it's the train arming us for something really horrible it's going to throw at us. It's something from our world, like the chocolate is, and we hope we're wrong. We really, really hope we're wrong. We hope we go through the next scenery without this thing showing up, and everyone can go, "wow Jaime you're so paranoid!" and I can go "yes, yes I am" and we'll all be relieved. I just know the train too well and if history is any indicat

We -- the witches and wizards from my world -- are working on our defenses, and if this thing shows up once we're moving again, we ... will do our level best to keep everyone alive safe with their souls in their bodies.

Edited for clarification The chocolate will make you feel better if you get touched by a Dementor.

Hello, love.

If we could manage to invent a spell -- and there is no promise that we can -- that could circumvent deafness, would you be interested in that? We've opted to work on it, but if you weren't interested, then I wouldn't subject you to it.

Dean? Looks like the train separated us. I wonder if it's trying to tell us something?

Keleios, do you think the train is trying to tell us something?
