Chapter 252 250. Uninvited Guest
Now Lily is too restrained, and Jon doesn't realize that she treats him differently from other students.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't have any thoughts.
In this world where the historical trajectory is deviated, Lily is actually the one who has lost the most, even though she is still alive.
Because the warmer and salty ocean currents of the Atlantic Ocean pass by the Norwegian Sea, the sea surface will not freeze even in the cold winter.
Just because the sea doesn’t freeze, it doesn’t mean the air hasn’t dropped below 0 degrees.
It has been nearly half a month since we left the tower. During this time, Jon and Nick studied the crystal ball with the navigation map hidden in the principal's office. After obtaining the final destination, they will The magic power in the crystal ball was absorbed.
After that, the automatic navigation function of the entire Hogwarts disappeared, and Fred was finally able to take up the position of helmsman, which was only a vain bid.
It's just that the power required for the whole ship to sail is not simply the sea wind driving the long sails. As a magical ship, Hogwarts can of course rely on magic to solve the problem of sailing power.
After canceling the ship's autopilot function, Jon and others studied the chart for half a day, and finally re-planned a new route along the coast of Norway according to Dumbledore's suggestion to them.
Then they diverted their direction and sailed north along this new route, during which they spent Christmas on the sea and ushered in the New Year of 1994.
Maybe it was Jon and the others who changed the course. For more than half a month, they didn't encounter any accidents, and the journey was smooth and even boring.
During the period, I also encountered several Muggle freighters, but Jon didn't have any intersection with them. Just when the time entered the end of January 1994, when they were approaching the northernmost tip of the entire European continent, Colin, who had been in charge of the lookout work, suddenly raised an alert to the people on the deck at noon one day.
"Due east and south at an angle of 30 degrees! A wizard is riding a broomstick!"
Jon soon learned of the news. He came to the deck with a solemn expression.
It can be said that it is an extremely rare phenomenon to meet a wizard on the sea, especially a wizard riding a broomstick.
Through the binoculars, he also saw two wizards riding brooms in the sky, their robes blown behind them by the cold wind.
The two of them were flying westward at first, but soon they also found the boat that Jon and the others were on. There seemed to be some conversation between the two, and then they turned the direction of the broom head together, heading towards the Flying over Hogwarts.
Jon put down the binoculars, his eyes narrowed.
He doesn't know these two wizards, and the distance is too far away. Even with a telescope, he can't see clearly. Are there any obvious marks on the clothes of the two.
But knowing the current form, Jon never minds guessing things in the worst direction.
"Neville, George, let everyone do what we have rehearsed before, put on robes immediately, and all students who don't know a foreign language stay in the dormitory and don't come out!"
As he gave orders, the whole ship moved very quickly.
In order to deal with emergencies, Jon has led them to rehearse the plan many times, so everyone reacts quickly and knows exactly what they should do now.
Every student was waving their wands at the robes they were wearing. After a few seconds of cursing, the robes all turned blood red and had a double-headed eagle and a deer-head badge embroidered on their chests.
Most of the students returned to the cabin after doing this, and a small number of students who could speak foreign languages like Luna and Hermione even put on a fur cloak over their robes.
Jon drank the remaining bottle of Polyjuice Potion, and soon he turned into the shape of the Transfiguration professor from Durmstrang—Johnson.
Just as everyone on the ship got ready, the two wizards on broomsticks were getting closer and closer, and not long after, they were side by side with the side of the Hogwarts ship.
The two wizards were both blond and blue-eyed, with typical European looks. They were wearing dark blue robes that were not clearly marked. Way to get on board.
Jon knew that this was the age restriction magic set by Dumbledore. He watched the two wizards shouting against the sea breeze and greeted them in the French they learned from Hermione.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen."
"Hello, sir! Can we communicate in English?"
The older-looking wizard didn't seem to be able to understand what Jon was saying, he asked loudly in English with a distinct Scottish accent.
The sea breeze is very strong today, even if their speed is not very fast, they still have to shout out as much as possible to ensure that the other party can hear their voice.
Jon's expression remained unchanged, and he asked again in English.
"What's the matter with you two?"
"I can't believe that there are still wizards who choose to go to sea by boat! We are from Edinburgh, Hulkie and Heinz, can we go up and visit your ship, sir."
The young wizard blew a whistle and asked excitedly.
Jon shook his head and responded.
"Sorry, this ship belongs to the Durmstrang School of Magic. Without the school's permission, I don't have the authority to let other people board the ship."
Herky and Heinz glanced at each other, as if they were expressing their disappointment to each other, and then the elderly wizard named Helky continued to ask.
"Are you professors and students from Durmstrang?"
"That's right, I'm leading the students on a school trip to teach them some knowledge in the ocean that they don't have on land."
Hearing Jon's answer, Hulkie and Heinz didn't look suspicious.
They praised Durmstrang's teaching style. Even though they were denied the request to visit the ship, they said goodbye politely and regained control of the broomstick to lift off.
While Neville and the others who stayed on the deck quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these were just two wizards who were idle and bored and came to surf the waves.
Under the cover of the sea breeze, "Helkey" and "Heinz", who turned away from Jon and the others, were having an unknown exchange with a gloomy expression.
“.does it look like it?”
"I don't think so. The guy speaks normal French"
“. Whether it is or not, first report the situation of these ships to the higher-ups.”
Originally planned to have 4 updates today, but as long as I am familiar with it, there will be at least 3 updates tomorrow, with a high probability of 4 updates.
Then the chapter talked about the question, I thought everyone knew it, but some readers asked. It’s not that no one left a post to say it, but because of some force majeure, people can’t see it recently. You can only see what you posted. Only my backstage can see everything. It’s estimated that it will return to normal in a few days. It has ended.
