Chapter 257 255. The biggest crisis
Nick, as a ghost, has spent nearly a thousand years in this world.
Enough time for a sentient creature to see many things clearly, and Nick is well-deserved of the years he has spent.
He has seen enough people, visited the Hogwarts library and read enough books in his spare time, and has traveled to many places after leaving Hogwarts Castle.
With so much experience, Nick can actually teach Jon a lot, just like now.
His words made Jon gradually let go of his restraint when he was learning unforgivable, and things were indeed as he said.
The Unforgivable Curse is just a means of casting spells. Many dark wizards have fallen into darkness because of it, but there are also many great figures who have used it to create their own glory.
Jon thought about what Nick said to himself, and no longer suppressed the emotion he had been afraid to release.
Facing the crab tied to the target, which was fished out of the sea and used as a guinea pig, he couldn't help but think of the numb and dead eyes of the numb students he saw in Hogwarts castle.
Although that memory is still extremely clear, it has already happened more than a year ago. It was the scene before the tower collapsed half a month ago that really mobilized his emotions.
The old man and his house-elf stood on the top of the tower, between the dark clouds and the blue sea. At the moment when the rocket that entrusted all his dreams and wishes flew out of the sea, everything seemed like a bubble in the giant sky. In the sound and heat, it turned into nothingness that seemed to have never appeared before.
It's sad, and it's still fresh in my memory, but there is no positive emotion in such an impressive picture.
It was a kind of anger, a kind of anger that the progress of the times was destroyed, a kind of anger that noble dreams were killed by shameful greed.
There are many emotions that such anger can drive, and those negative emotions that are unknown to outsiders are released in repression!
Jon's face didn't change in any way, but became calmer and calmer, as calm as a dead pool.
He waved his wand and said the unforgivable spell indifferently.
"Avada Kedavra!"
The miserable green beam shot out from the tip of the magic wand, passed through the short distance of less than 5 meters in the blink of an eye, and then precisely hit the center of the bull's-eye, the crab that kept waving its claws. .
The next second, the crab stopped all signs of life. There were no scars on its body surface, but it was as if its soul had been directly wiped out, and there was no more movement without a sound.
This is the best effect Jon has had since he started learning the Killing Curse.
This poor crab has been tortured in his hands for a week. Jon's Death Curse on it in the past few days is not even as good as the Stunning Curse. The demonstrations, the struggling legs of the struggling legs, did not show any sign of being affected by the mental head.
Now, it can finally die safely.
Nick, who was watching from the sidelines, praised Jon's performance extremely excitedly.
"Your talent is indeed among the top three students I have ever seen, Jon! As long as you can figure out the level in your heart, no matter what kind of magic will cause you any difficulty. Just use In a week, I have harvested a life with the Death Curse, even the most evil dark wizards I have seen are not slow in learning the Death Curse, let alone you are only 14 years old this year!"
"I can't tell whether you are complimenting me or scolding me."
"Of course I'm praising you!" Nick reassured, "Don't forget what I said, don't be so burdened with the Unforgivable Curse, no matter how infamous it is, it is still magic from the hands of wizards, as long as it is controlled by you It, rather than it controlling you, then there won't be any problems."
Jon looked at the wand in his hand. The old chestnut wand had many marks left by the years, but it could be seen that its previous owners had protected it very well, and there was not much damage on it.
"However, casting spells on crabs is definitely different from casting spells on people. It can be used in normal practice now. Whether it can have such an effect in actual combat is not guaranteed."
Nick nodded in approval.
"You are right, practice and actual combat are different after all, but if it can be used in practice, it is only a matter of experience and habit to apply it in actual combat. These two points can be solved naturally as long as you use it more. "
While they were chatting, the door of this spell classroom was suddenly opened from the outside.
Neville stood outside the door panting, his face pale with anxiety, he looked at Jon solemnly and said.
"You made us keep an eye on the two wizards hanging behind us, and now there are many people around them!"
Jon's gaze immediately became sharp.
The two wizards did not stay away, and he knew that they had always been far behind their ship, so Jon had actually expected what happened now.
It's just that although some things can be thought of in advance, the solution can't be found so easily.
Up to now, he can only choose pawns to block the water and cover it with soil.
"I'll go and have a look."
Jon walked out of the Charms classroom with Nick, and when they came to the cabin corridor, Fox also flew onto his shoulder.
No matter what the situation is, it is the biggest support of the whole ship.
With Voldemort's state and whereabouts unknown, Fox being on board means that Dumbledore is on board, and as long as Dumbledore is there, Hogwarts is in absolute safety.
Came to the deck, there were not many people gathered here, most of the students were still in class, only George, Neville, and Colin who was assigned the tracking task were still there.
Even if Neville and the others didn't specifically point out, and squinted his eyes from a distance, Jon could still see the group of broomsticks behind them, making no secret of their whereabouts as the wizard approached.
Because the distance is still far away, the number of people can't be seen clearly, but judging from the dark area, there are at least 20 people in the group near Hogwarts.
This made Neville and the others nervous, and Jon also had a serious face.
This can be said to be the biggest crisis they will encounter after going to sea.
There are more than twenty wizards, all of whom are probably the most elite Death Eaters under Voldemort. How they will face this is an extremely serious question.
