In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Jon does not need to control the direction of the ship. It seems that the target direction has been set a long time ago. The helmsman's position is obviously just a decoration now.

Jon didn't stay on the deck for long. He didn't forget that there was a group of students in the restaurant waiting for news. They didn't know what happened yet.

He fumbled and pulled the reins of the Thestrals on the deck. Beech, who had already circled the deck three times, jumped back to Jon's head, and then he opened a wooden door leading to the cabin in front of him. .

The inside of the cabin was no different from the previous carriage compartment. The location where Jon entered was the entrance and exit of the previous driver's seat. After entering, there was still a straight corridor.

He took the Thestrals to the room where they were originally kept in the carriage. There was a meadow and a small forest here, which was enough for them to get enough rest after work. Now that the carriage has become a wooden boat, there is no need for them to carry out any more work. After working, they can spend a comfortable vacation during this period.

After settling the Yeqi, he returned to the restaurant.

There were about fifty or sixty students from grades one to five left here. When Jon came in, most of them were lying by the window. Obviously, the changes outside had already caught their attention.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone in the restaurant focused their attention on him. Many students couldn't wait to ask him about the current situation.

"Are we out of danger?" The first one to speak was Colin. He was a student who was rescued from the castle by Jon at the beginning of the year. He had just been promoted to second grade after the start of this year.

His question is what many people want to know, and everyone looks at him eagerly.

Jon did not answer immediately, but took out a chair and sat down. At the same time, he also motioned to all the students in the restaurant to sit down first.

Next, he had to explain everything clearly, although even he still felt that what happened today was so sudden.

"I will now explain our current situation. Please listen patiently. If you have any questions, I will answer them one by one."

At this time, the reputation Jon had accumulated from his feats at the beginning of the year played a crucial role.

Even among the students of the same level before, he was a leader, but there must be some people in the entire school, especially the senior students, who don't even know his name, let alone have any respect for him. Convinced.

But it's completely different now. The students who stayed on the ship, even the fifth graders, had absolute support for Jon.

"Let me answer Colin's question first."

The students were looking at Jon quietly, and Jon was also looking at these students seriously.

"From the current situation, we are not in danger for the time being, but at the same time we have to face another biggest problem - starting from today, there will no longer be professors on this carriage, or this ship, to protect us. Now we can only rely on ourselves."

His words caused a commotion among the students. Not many people even paid attention to the transition between the carriage and the boat. A first-year girl asked in a crying voice.

"Yes, Professor, do they not want us?"

Jon did not blame her for interrupting his speech, but spoke in a comforting voice and with great seriousness.

"It's not that the professor doesn't want us anymore, it's that the current situation in Britain is very bad. Professor Dumbledore and other professors are about to start a war with the bad guys in the Ministry of Magic. In this war, they are not sure of themselves. He didn't have any spare life to protect our safety, so the professor found a way to get us to a safe place."

He looked back at everyone.

"What we can do now is to take good care of ourselves and not hold back professors."

Finally, someone started to ask questions about where they were now at this time. The person who stood up and asked excitedly was George.

"Then where are we now? It looks like there is a sea outside?"

Jon nodded and said.

"Yes, we are on the sea now. There is no change inside the carriage, but in fact the carriage has turned into a big ship. It is precisely because of this that we escaped the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic."

This news immediately attracted the attention of most people, distracting many people from the overwhelming feeling of panic they had just been separated from the adults.

"Can we go out and take a look?" Fred asked excitedly.

The Weasley twins are usually the two most active ones in the carriage. They can always create some farce to keep everyone entertained. However, they are also the most intolerable and often complain in the lounge. boring.

Jon naturally had nothing to disagree with.

"Of course you can, but you have to be careful even on the deck. I don't know if there is any protective magic on the guardrail to prevent people from falling into the sea."

With his agreement, George and Fred were the first to lose their temper and rushed out of the restaurant.

After seeing the two of them running out, the other students couldn't stay in the restaurant anymore and started running out together. Even Gabrielle waved hello to Jon and walked away from him. Float by.

The first-year freshmen fell at the back. They had just arrived in the carriage not long ago, and they were not yet out of the novelty stage of life here, so they were not as concerned as the upperclassmen about turning into a boat and going to sea. Many touches.

Jon was right at the back of these students, and Neville and Hermione were walking side by side with him, walking along the corridor toward the outside of the carriage.

Neville still feels unreal.

"So...we are really the only ones left?"

Hermione looked at the professors' offices with their doors closed, and her behavior was much better than Neville. After all, even if the current situation was compared with the environment she was in before, she didn't know how to be better. How many.

"The youngest among us is already 11 years old. Either he can't take care of himself, or we won't be able to learn magic anymore?"

Jon was obviously thinking about this too.

"This can only be figured out later."

They walked out of the carriage. At this time, the students had already arrived on the deck. The wet and salty sea breeze blew the hem of each little wizard's robe, but the cold night wind did not weaken their enthusiasm for sailing at this moment.

Even the first-year students, who were uninterested at first, began to smile and lay beside the fence, watching big fish jumping from time to time in the waves.

George and Fred were very happy. They found a hook glove and a one-eyed blindfold from somewhere, and they were dressing up as pirates. They stood with one foot on the chair and looked up at the sailing front of the wooden ship, muttering something. Missing is a parrot that can speak human language.

Jon didn't feel much like this at this time. It wasn't that he lacked enthusiasm for the ocean, but that he knew very well that there were still many problems that he needed to solve in the upcoming voyage.

For example, they still haven't figured out which sea area they are in or what direction they are sailing.

For another example, despite the fact that students are very enthusiastic about sailing at this time, we still don’t know how many of them will get seasick later. There is no Lily on the ship who can come and prepare potions for them, so they need to think about it themselves. Method.

The fresh water and food in the storage room must also be counted to find out how long the reserves can last more than 50 people on the sea.

The magical plants in the greenhouse also need to be taken care of by dedicated personnel, and some magical animals kept in specific rooms cannot be left alone. They must also find ways to get in touch with Dumbledore and the others as soon as possible, but this will have to wait for news from Fox.

In general, although they are not in danger for the time being, they still have to solve many things later, and before that, Jon must do one thing first.

He gathered all the students on the deck together. There was a kerosene lamp on the mast that swayed gently in the sea breeze, illuminating this space on the deck.

"Everyone, none of us know the end point of this voyage yet, nor do we know how long it will take. But no matter what the future holds, now we must determine the leader among us."

Jon's voice was not drowned in the waves, and all the students present heard his words.

"Before Professor Dumbledore left this carriage, he gave me the task of leading you. However, at the beginning of the voyage, I still want to confirm with you whether anyone is interested in me leading this voyage. Do you have any doubts or questions about the matter?”

Younger children will definitely not have any problems, and the fourth and fifth grade students who are older than Jon have been living on the carriage for so long. These children who are more sensible than their peers know very well. , taking over the leadership of Hogwarts under such circumstances is not a good thing.

What Jon did in the second grade was enough to prove that he had the ability to lead them, not to mention that he was recognized by Dumbledore.

No one suggested any meaning, and George and Fred even smiled and put a pirate captain's hat on Jon's head.

"We absolutely obey your leadership! Great Captain Green!"

With the Weasley twins around, you never have to worry about how depressing the atmosphere will be.

The students below also shouted together with smiles on their faces.

"That's right, Captain Green!"

Jon also had a smile on his face, he didn't refuse the hat that George and Fred gave him to put on his head and the blindfold on his face, he said loudly.

"Does anyone have a better suggestion for a name for our ship?"

"Our names have never changed, Captain!" a student responded loudly.

Their eyes looked at the old and yellowed school badge on the long sail.

Yes, whether it was in the castle, the carriage, or the ship now, their names have never changed.

【Hogwarts】

No one can tamper with or cover up this.

The wind filled the long sail, and under the brilliant starry sky, Jon looked at the endless sea and said softly.

"Then, let's set sail!"

"We've searched all of Wormtail's memories," Lupine said.

On the cliff full of tombstones, the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix were resting here, and during this time, Lupine, Lily, and Sirius were reporting to Dumbledore the clues they had obtained from Wormtail.

"After the Dark Lord took control of the entire British wizarding world, that is, seven years ago, he sent his most trusted men to France. They used various methods to imprison people who were not so famous at the time and Adele Roland, Eric Amalric and others who had high status, and then used their identities to start operating in the French Ministry of Magic, and Wormtail was among these people."

"Through the various help provided to them by the Dark Lord in the dark in the UK, coupled with sufficient financial support, and their personal minds. In these seven years, they quickly reached the position originally planned. This By that time they had gained enough power, that is, after Rodolphus Lestrange disguised himself as Amalric and became the French Minister of Magic more than a year ago, they began to carry out attacks on pure-blood wizards in France. Intimidation and inducement.”

"During this period, there were several times when the Dark Lord appeared in person. Before, he never paid attention to us. It was probably to win over these people in France."

"Among these pure-blood wizards, there are some who would rather die than surrender, but they were all allowed to resolve the matter in private, and then arranged for Death Eaters to change their identities. Others who chose to surrender, such as Wormtail, were also very cautious. Temporarily block this memory with a forgetting spell, and then lift the spell when needed to prevent anyone from violating it."

Dumbledore listened to Lupine's story with a calm face, and here he asked.

"Those key positions in the French Ministry of Magic are all held by the Dark Lord's own people?"

Lupine nodded and said.

"Bellatrix Lestrange disguised herself as Adele Roland, and her husband Rodolphus Lestrange was her apparent political rival Eric Amalric. There was his brother Rabastan Lestrange, who became Head of the Auror Office, and Igor Karkaroff, who assumed the alias of Ivan Garras and became Beauxbatons earlier this year. The principal."

Voldemort's erosion of the French wizarding world is almost comprehensive. The chief justice, minister of magic, director of the Auror office and principal of the magic school have almost full control over law, politics, military and education.

He has only begun to close the net now, which means that the current situation is completely irreversible, and the entire France will fall into his hands.
