In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Jon used the Shattering Charm to destroy the sleigh they were riding in.

There is no way to take this thing away, and there is no point in taking it away. If you leave it, it will easily expose your whereabouts, so destroying it is the best option.

After that, he did not plan to find a place to continue his interrupted sleep, but planned to stay away from this supposedly safe place overnight.

Without worrying about anything, Jon directly used the magic power stored in the second gem of the ring, used the floating spell to fly in the air, and then put the invisibility cloak on himself and Nick Gabriel.

Although some measures to keep warm and avoid wind were taken, there was still no way to completely block the cold temperature. Jon could only slow down his flight speed, while maintaining a low altitude of only about five meters above the ground, and continued to move towards his destination. .

Just six or seven hours after he left the area, Norm and Hanks, who had failed to capture them, walked back from the snow and wind with haggard faces.

"I feel like my spell just now almost hit the bear, but it managed to dodge it!"

Hanks looked resentful. He just wanted to have a midnight snack, but he didn't expect that not only did he miss the midnight snack, but he also worked hard all night.

Although there was disappointment on Norm's face, there was not much negative emotion. Even if no Death Eater noticed it before, this foodie is not a brainless person. The two bears behaved like nothing ordinary today. Animals, there couldn't be any ordinary animals that could escape being hunted by two Death Eaters.

He said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"This is not our problem. Is it possible that there is a problem with these two bears themselves?"

His words made Hanks obviously stunned, and he didn't turn around for a while.

"You mean, what kind of special breed are these two bears?"

Norm shook his head. He looked through the wind and snow at the camp where Jon was stationed before. The continuous snowfall had completely covered the traces left here. From the outside, there was no problem at all.

"When we were chasing the two bears, I had a vague feeling that there seemed to be something hidden here. But I didn't pay much attention at the time."

Norm's tone didn't sound like he was joking, and the expression on Hanks' face became serious.

He clearly knew that although his partner was usually very enthusiastic about eating, he was actually quite smart.

"You mean, these two bears are controlled by someone?"

"Maybe they are under control, or maybe they are actually who they are." Norm said in a speculative tone, while taking out his wand and searching the nearby snow.

The sky was completely bright, and Hanks was not idle either. He and Norm used spells to disperse the newly covered snow around the ice, but nothing was found.

Jon's backhand was very clean, leaving basically no evidence that could provide clues.

However, just as Hanks frowned and pushed aside a piece of snow, Norm suddenly stretched out his hand to stop his subsequent actions.

The Greengrass wizard who was forced to join the Death Eaters squatted on the ground, reached out and grabbed the pile of snowflakes swept away by Hanks, and kneaded it gently in his hands.

But these "snowflakes" were strangely not clenched into a ball by his hands, but seemed to be the powder of some hard object and scattered on the snow again.

The sight made Norm narrow his eyes and made Hanks hold his breath.

"We seem to have found some big clue, Hanks." Norm said softly.

Hanks and him looked at each other, and both of them saw the thoughts in each other's eyes.

Together, they pointed their wands at the white powder on the ground, and used the spell in exactly the same voice and waving gesture.

"Recover as before!"

The powders that had been cast with repair spells flew lightly from the snow. They were obviously just part of a destroyed object, and many of them had been blown to other places by the wind and snow.

But these alone are enough to build its original wheel frame.

"This is..." Hanks said hesitantly, eyes wide.

Norm completed what he had left unfinished.

"A sleigh!"

After confirming what this thing was, Norm's expression became serious.

"This matter must be reported!"

Jon still didn't know that his whereabouts had been exposed.

He had indeed cleaned up enough, and even the dust on the sleigh that had been shattered by the crushing spell was separated and scattered into the snow.

But even after doing this, Norm and the others still found problems in the two polar bears and found these clues.

There is no shortage of elites among Death Eaters, just like there are many elites like Scabior among Aurors.

Being able to control the entire United Kingdom plus Hogwarts Castle means that Voldemort controls the most basic source of talents, and almost all of these people have joined the Ministry of Magic.

But regardless of whether he knew his whereabouts had been discovered or not, there was nothing Jon could do to change now.

Unless he gave up the mission given to him by Grindelwald and turned back directly to Durmstrang, he would always have to find a way to reach his destination near the pole.

Moreover, it is not easy to find a person in the Arctic, especially a person wearing an invisibility cloak.

At least since Jon started to use the levitating spell that night and started on his way, he had not encountered any trace of humans for three consecutive days, let alone the Death Eaters.

In the early morning of the third day, when Jon rubbed his face and just got out of the tent where he was stationed, he saw Nick and Gabrielle sitting side by side in front of his tent, looking at the sky in amazement.

Jon also followed their gazes and looked up. The half of the sky was colorful, and the brilliant colors were enough to make everyone who saw this scene stop and stare.

The beauty of nature is vividly displayed at this moment,

"It's the Aurora."

Jon rubbed Gabri's head.

Gabrielle rested her chin on her hands, her big eyes reflecting the magnificent sky.

"It would be great if my parents and sister could see it too."

"Yes, there will definitely be such a day."

Jon said softly.

This gorgeous sky did not hinder Jon and the others from continuing to move forward. After three days of journey, they were more than 80 miles closer to the finish line, and now there were only twenty or thirty miles left.

If they speed up, they can basically reach the target point tonight.

And from this day on, Death Eaters began to appear more and more frequently around him.

In just one morning, Jon encountered four Death Eater teams, more than the total number of people he had encountered before.

This made Jon feel something was wrong.

Even if the Death Eaters would deploy the tightest defenses at the most central locations, according to the information Eric provided him, there were less than a hundred Death Eaters left behind in the Arctic.

If they had deployed reconnaissance hundreds of miles away, it would have been impossible to defend the core area so tightly.

Unless they noticed some trouble and arranged everyone to the most important location in advance!

Jon was wary, but he did not stop moving forward, and even deliberately accelerated his speed.

So half an afternoon earlier than planned, Jon and the others had arrived a mile away from their destination.

It's not that he doesn't want to get closer, but that a group of guards have been replaced in this area. The ones responsible for defending here are no longer Death Eaters, but dozens of Dementors!

They can ignore the existence of the invisibility cloak and can judge a person's location simply by relying on their sense of smell, which can't help but hinder Jon's progress.

But just because he saw these dementors, it also confirmed Jon's guess in disguise.

These Death Eaters must have discovered something!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Dementors to appear here. This kind of creature is born to feed on people's positive emotions. In Azkaban, their food is the prisoners. In Britain, they can privately find any suitable objects to suck.

But now this is the North Pole. Besides Death Eaters, who else can these dementors come into contact with?

Of course, there are also scientific research stations established by Muggles in the Arctic, but regardless of where Dementors are found in these places, the number of people alone will definitely not support the long-term survival of these large numbers of Dementors.

They must have been temporarily recruited in the past few days, and how could the Death Eaters recruit these things that people find disgusting for no reason?

It can only be that they discovered something strange in the Arctic and wanted to rely on these dementors to help find traces of Jon.

Jon didn't think that after his identity was exposed that day at sea, the information about him would not be investigated clearly. The fact that he summoned two patron saints in Azkaban was seen by so many dementors present, so there must be no possibility for them to hide it.

For wizards who have learned to summon patron saints, especially two patron saints, dementors will no longer be a threat.

These Death Eaters would not know it, so the arrival of these dementors was not to provide them with any combat help, but only to help with reconnaissance.

Looking at these dementors, Jon fell into thinking.

It would certainly not be difficult for him to deal with these things now, but once he summoned the Patronus, it would definitely attract the attention of all Death Eaters.

Jon doesn't even know what is there at the end, so he doesn't plan to expose his whereabouts.

But if it is not exposed, this defensive circle composed of dementors will not be easy to pass.

While Jon was thinking, his eyes suddenly turned to Nick.

"Ghosts can't be affected by dementors, right?"

Nick didn't hear the implications of Jon's words at first.

"Of course. Didn't you see it when you were in Azkaban? Those dementors had nothing to do with me. I'm already dead. As a dead person, how can I let them absorb what I want?"

"And as a ghost, you definitely don't have a smell that they can smell?" Jon asked seriously.

Only then did Nick realize what he wanted to do.

"You want me to help you go and do reconnaissance first?" He soon shook his head, "These dementors can't do anything to me, and they can't smell my scent, but they are not blind and they can definitely see me. Where, unless I put on the invisibility cloak. But as a ghost, I have no way to pick up the physical object of the invisibility cloak."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned to Gabrielle. At the same time, Jon's eyes also turned to Gabrielle.

Gabrielle hadn't reacted yet, and was looking at them with her big confused eyes blinking.

"But Gabrielle can. She is not a real ghost. She can touch real objects selectively!"

Nick said excitedly.

"And she perfectly possesses all the characteristics of a ghost. She will not be affected or discovered by dementors. She can come with me!"

But at this time, Jon hesitated and looked at Gabrielle.

"But as you said, Gabri is not a real ghost. So if you go there together and is discovered, will she be in danger?"

"No!" This time it was Gabri's own answer. She could tell that Nick and Jon were discussing whether she could help. "In school, Ginny and Luna tested together. Gabe Rei can't be hit by the spell! So she will definitely be safe and able to help!"

Jon frowned and shook his head.

"They must have used petrification and coma spells on you. If those Death Eaters find out, they will definitely kill you. Can you even be immune to the death curse? This is no one." I’m sure.”

"Yes." Nick shrugged, "I'm sure of this. Gabrielle can resist the death curse, but the price is that her soul will undergo essential changes. She will never want to return to her body again in this life. People."

Nick's words made Jon stop thinking about Gabrielle and working with Nick to avoid these dementors.

But obviously, even if he didn't want to, Gabrielle wouldn't just let it go.

"Gabriel promises!"

"Gabriel's guarantee is invalid!"

Jon slapped her raised hand down and began to think of something better.

Gabrielle's face suddenly bulged with anger, like a steamed bun.

At this time, Nick organized his words and tried to persuade Jon.

"Actually, you don't have to think about this matter being so dangerous. Jon, as long as Gabri holds on to her invisibility cloak, there will be no problems. After all, Gabri definitely didn't want to go out this time. If she is simply holding you back, you have to give her a chance to contribute to the best of her ability. Protection is necessary, but protection cannot be excessive, right?"

Listening to Nick speak for her, Gabrielle nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and then turned to look at Jon eagerly.

Jon thought in silence for a moment, and then met Gabrielle's eyes.

"You really want to help?"

"That means Gabrielle is useful to everyone, right?"

The little girl said in an almost pleading voice.

Jon finally relented and nodded helplessly.

"Okay, but you have to promise to listen to Nick!"
