"Oh for fuck's sake, can you two children behave for five minutes?" Hopefully Caroline can shut them both up before this gets out of control. She kind of needs to focus. She knows how the Dementors do sweeps, and it's a real good bet that one will try to come swooping in.
And sure enough, here comes one creeping up the street, bringing chill and gloom with it. It hovers about, and when a second joins it they start drifting towards the door. Caroline takes a moment to close her eyes and focus. She has to let them in long enough for them to "search" anyway. She tunes out their muttering and pulls out her wand. Okay. They're hovering in the door and preparing to come closer. Not surprising. Sully's been to Azkaban, so he's probably a familiar and beloved snack source, and Caroline's past makes her a very tempting target as well. Not that Dementors are picky, but the more bad memories a person has, the more fun it is for them. Ugh.
The added cold and awful feelings roll in like a cloud front. But Caroline is ready. Before they can both get in the door, she opens her eyes and casts. "Expecto Patronum!"
And then a large, white shark erupts from her wand and charges across the shop, jaws open and wisps of white smoke rolling off it like water. The Dementors back out of the shop before it can attempt to actually tear them in half with its teeth. It swims in a protective circle in front of the door once as the Dementors continue on their way. It then glides back towards Caroline, giving both men a wide berth. She pats it on the head once and then lets it dissipate.
