Chapter 244 242. The sorrow of the times
When the sun rose, the entire Hogwarts was quiet.
Although a series of accidents at night had nothing to do with most of the students on board, the earth-shaking explosion still prevented them from sleeping well all night.
Jon slept very late last night, but he was the first one to wake up.
It's not that he's not tired, but he's not in the mood for sleep.
At 9 o'clock, he sat cross-legged on the deck alone, silently watching the direction they were coming from the south.
The Hogwarts is still heading north, and it is only a few days before Christmas. There is still heavy snow on the sea, and the temperature has dropped to an extremely low level.
Jon was wearing a thick robe and held a big umbrella on his head to block the snow. Just as he was looking at the sea in a daze, Nick came to him at some point.
"Are you still thinking about that knight?"
Ghosts don’t need to rest, so Nick didn’t struggle in the warm blanket like others, making a life-or-death decision about whether to get up or not.
He learned about Jon's experience in the tower from Neville last night, so he can probably guess what Jon is thinking at this moment.
Jon nodded, and didn't want to hide his thoughts.
"Because of Sir Stoke, he's really not a bad guy."
he sighed.
"He came from a family of pure-blooded wizards, but he has always called himself the title of the Muggle dynasty, and he also has a deep understanding of many thoughts and theories related to Muggles. In the wizarding world, even wizards from Muggle families have Not necessarily to such a degree, it can be seen that he is a person who pursues equality.
Moreover, he has ideals, and the ultimate goal of his ideals is to broaden the horizons of wizards, for a better future for the magic world, and even for his own ideals during this period, even abandoning everything in the world. In the end, it was the Dark Lord who held this ideal To tempt him, he made the final wrong choice. "
Jon whispered.
"I really don't think people like Jazz should end their lives so easily. In the magic world, there are very few wizards who can truly see the essence of the world through magic, but he wants to fight for a fundamental battle." Die for the wrong political fight.
In fact, he is more suitable to be a professor in a magic school. Whether it is astronomy or Muggle studies, I think he is competent. Under such an environment, it should be more conducive to his research, and it can also inspire his ideas. A young wizard.
I thought that maybe I could invite him to Hogwarts and find Dumbledore to apply for the position of professor, although maybe the current Hogwarts is not suitable, and the life of wandering is more like a coercion for him. But he no longer gave me a chance to speak. After knowing that I would never return this contract to him, he thought that his ideal would never be realized again. I could feel that he was involved in it. A self-compensating guilt.
Jon's words seemed a bit nagging, because Nick didn't know what kind of person Sir Stoke was in that tower with him at all, but at this moment, through Jon's description, he also had a general idea of this Sir in his mind. With a clear outline and impression.
"It sounds like he is indeed a great person. But sometimes things are like this. Maybe I have experienced enough time and seen enough people and things. I don't have as many emotions as you, Jon, It would be a pity at best."
Nick said softly.
"Those people who have left their names in history are not only because of their own outstanding abilities, but also because they were born in an era that suits them.
But this knight who has the same title as me is obviously unfortunate. Just like myself back then, I was caught on the gallows, and he was forced to choose to serve one of the sides in the war. The devil successfully defeated us, became the master of Europe, and fulfilled his promise, then he will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books of that new magic world, and maybe even create a new era .
But the times are obviously not on his side now, and he died before the Dark Lord showed any real signs of success. This is not the tragedy of him alone, but the tragedy of this era. "
Nick patted Jon's shoulder. His illusory hand couldn't touch Jon's body, but the cold touch still gave Jon feedback.
"We are the winners in this incident, which means we will continue to go on. As for those who are worth remembering, in the future, someone will give them a fair evaluation."
Jon murmured as he looked at the calm sea.
"This is a victory for us, but for the entire magical world, losing someone like Sir Stoke is a failure for everyone..."
Nick sighed and did not explain Jon's words. They looked towards the sea to the south together, as if the tower was still standing between the sky and the sea...
…
At the edge of the border between the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea, a few days after Jon and the others left, there were still some messy garbage floating in the nearby sea area, and occasionally a few black cats struggling in the water could be seen.
A few days later, the garbage drifted to other places with the ocean current cycle, and the black cats were completely dead in the sea water. Their bodies and garbage started to drift with the waves.
During this period, more than a dozen wizards wearing black robes passed by on broomsticks. The two leading them looked like a pair of brothers. After confirming that there had been a tower here, they captured a man who had experienced that scene. The mermaid who fled from the big bang and only dared to return to this sea area in the past few days used Legilimency to understand what happened here some time ago.
Hearing that there was a ship docked here, but after the entire tower was blown up, the ship disappeared together, which made the faces of the two brothers even more gloomy.
They sent one of their men back to return, while the others continued to pursue north.
In this way, a few more weeks passed, and in the first month of the new year, the mermaids who returned to this sea area spontaneously wanted to find the body of Sir Stoke, who had been kind to them, on the bottom of the sea. nothing.
