Chapter 252 250. Uninvited Guests

Lily was too introverted now, and Jon didn't notice any difference between her and him and other students.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't have any idea.

In this world where the historical trajectory has deviated, Lily is actually the one who has lost the most, even if she is still alive.

The Norwegian Sea has a warmer and saltier Atlantic current passing through it, so the sea surface will not freeze even in the cold winter.

Although the sea surface will not freeze, it does not mean that the air has not dropped below 0 degrees.

It has been nearly half a month since leaving the tower. During this time, Jon and Nick studied the crystal ball containing the navigation map in the principal's office. After obtaining the final destination, they absorbed the magic in the crystal ball.

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 originally just a false mark.

However, the power required for the entire ship to sail is not simply the sea breeze driving the long sails. As a magical ship, the Hogwarts can certainly rely on magic to solve the problem of sailing power.

After canceling the ship's automatic driving function, Jon and others studied the nautical chart for a long time, and finally replanned a new route along the coast of Norway according to Dumbledore's advice.

Then they turned their direction and sailed north along this new route, and spent Christmas on the sea during this period, and welcomed the New Year of 1994.

Perhaps Jon and his team changed the route and it worked. In the past half a month, they did not encounter any accidents. They were smooth sailing and even boring along the way.

During this period, they also encountered several Muggle freighters, but Jon did not have any intersection with them. Just when the time entered the end of January 1994, when they were close to the northernmost tip of the entire European continent, Colin, who had been in charge of the lookout, suddenly alerted the people on the deck at noon one day.

"30 degrees south of due east! There are wizards riding broomsticks!"

Jon soon learned the news and came to the deck with a serious expression.

It is extremely rare to meet wizards on the sea, especially wizards riding broomsticks.

Through the telescope, he also saw two wizards riding broomsticks in the sky, with their robes blown by the cold wind behind them.

The two men were flying westward at first, but soon they also found the ship where Jon and his friends were. There seemed to be some conversation between the two, and then they turned the direction of the broomstick heads together and flew towards Hogwarts.

Jon put down the telescope and squinted his eyes.

He didn't know these two wizards, and the distance was too far. Even with a telescope, he couldn't see clearly whether there were any obvious signs on their clothes.

But knowing the current situation, Jon never minded guessing the worst.

"Neville, George, let everyone do as we rehearsed before, put on robes immediately, and all students who can't speak foreign languages ​​should stay in the dormitory and don't come out!"

As he gave orders, the whole ship started to operate very quickly.

In order to deal with emergencies, Jon had rehearsed this plan with them many times, so everyone reacted quickly and knew clearly what they should do now.

Every student was waving his wand at the robes he was wearing. After a few seconds of spells, the robes all turned blood red and had a double-headed eagle and a deer head badge embroidered on the chest.

Most of the students returned to the cabin after doing this, and a few students like Luna and Hermione who could speak foreign languages ​​put on a fur cloak over their robes.

As for the badge on the sail, they never changed it after leaving the tower, and it still has the double-headed eagle and deer head badge.

Jon drank the remaining Polyjuice Potion, and soon he turned into the Transfiguration Professor Johnson from Durmstrang.

Just as everyone on the ship was ready, the two wizards on broomsticks were getting closer and closer, and soon they were side by side with the Hogwarts.

Both wizards were blond and blue-eyed, with typical European looks, wearing dark blue robes without clear markings. When they tried to lower their broomsticks to the deck, they were stopped by an invisible thrust, making it impossible for them to get on board.

Jon knew that this was the age limit magic set by Dumbledore. He looked at the two wizards and shouted in the French he learned from Hermione against the sea breeze.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

"Hello! Sir! Can we communicate in English?"

The wizard who looked older didn't seem to understand what Jon was saying, and he asked loudly in English with a clear Scottish accent.

The sea breeze is very strong today. Even if they are not going very fast, they have to shout as loud as possible to ensure that the other party can hear their voices.

Jon's expression remained unchanged. He asked again in English.

"What do you two need?"

"I can't believe that there are wizards who would choose to go out to sea by boat! We are Helgi and Heinz from Edinburgh. Can we go up and visit your ship, sir?"

The young wizard whistled and asked excitedly.

Jon shook his head in response.

"I'm sorry, this ship belongs to Durmstrang School of Magic. Without the school's permission, I don't have the authority to let anyone else on board."

Helky and Heinz looked at each other, as if they were expressing their disappointment to each other, and then the older wizard named Helky continued to ask.

"Are you professors and students from Durmstrang?"

"Yes, I am leading the students on a school trip to teach them some knowledge that they don't have on land in the ocean."

Hearing Jon's answer, Helky and Heinz didn't look suspicious.

They praised Durmstrang's teaching style, and even though their request to visit the ship was rejected, they politely said goodbye and took control of the flying broom to take off again.

And just when Neville and the others who stayed on the deck quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these were just two wizards who were bored and came to the sea to make waves.

Under the cover of the sea breeze, "Herky" and "Heinz", who were walking away with their backs to Jon and the others, were having an unknown exchange with gloomy expressions.

".Does it look like that?"

"I don't think so. The French that person speaks is normal."

".Whether it is or not, let's report the situation of these ships to the higher-ups first."

I originally planned to update 4 times today, but I'll just treat it as a familiar state. There will be at least 3 updates tomorrow, and most likely 4 updates.

Then I talked about the problem in the chapter. I thought everyone knew it, but some readers asked. It's not that no one left a chapter to talk about it, but recently due to some force majeure, everyone can't see it, and can only see what they posted. Only the backend on my side can see all of it. It is estimated that it will return to normal in a few days. The force majeure is over.
