250.Uninvited guest
Lily is too restrained now, and Jon doesn't realize how different she is from her other students.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't have any ideas.
In this world where historical trajectory is deviating, Lily is actually the person who lost the most, even though she is still alive now.
The Norwegian Sea will not freeze even in the cold winter due to warmer and saltier currents of the Atlantic Ocean.
But although the sea surface will not freeze, it does not mean that the air has not dropped below 0 degrees.
Nearly half a month has passed since leaving the tower. During this period, Jon and Nick studied the crystal ball with the navigation map in the principal's room. After obtaining the final destination, they absorbed the magic power in the crystal ball.
After that, the entire Hogwarts automatic navigation function disappeared. He was originally just a position of helmsman given Fred's false mark, but he was finally able to take office.
However, the power required for the entire ship to sail is not simply the sea breeze to drive the long sail. As a magical ship, the Hogwarts can certainly rely on magic to solve the problem of navigational action.
After canceling the ship's autonomous driving function, Jon and others studied it for a long time according to the charts, and finally re-planned a new route along the Norwegian coast according to the advice given to them by Dumbledore.
Then they deviated and sailed north along the new route, and spent Christmas on the sea during this period and ushered in the 1994 New Year.
Perhaps Jon and the others changed the channel and played a role. In the past half month, they had no accidents. They were all smooth sailing along the way and could even be said to be bored.
During this period, he also encountered several Muggle cargo ships, but Jon did not have any intersection with them anymore. Just as the time entered the end of January 1994, when they were approaching the northernmost end of the entire European continent, Colin, who had been in charge of looking after work, suddenly alerted the people on the deck at noon one day.
"It's 30 degrees southeastward! There's a wizard riding a flying broom!"
Jon soon learned the news, and he came to the deck with a serious expression.
It is completely rare to meet a wizard on the sea, especially a wizard riding a flying broom.
Through the telescope, he also saw two male witches riding a broom in the sky, with their robes blowing behind him by the cold wind.
The two of them were flying west at first, but soon they also discovered the boat where Jon and the others were. There seemed to be some conversation between them, and then they deviated from the broomhead and flew towards the Hogwarts.
Jon put down his telescope and narrowed his eyes.
He didn't recognize these two wizards, and the distance was too far away. Even with a telescope, he couldn't see clearly whether there were any obvious signs on their clothes.
But with the current situation already known, Jon never minded speculating in the worst direction.
"Neville, George, let everyone do what we had previewed before, and change into a robe immediately, and all students who know how to speak foreign languages stay in the dormitory and don't come out!"
With his orders, the entire ship started to run very quickly.
In order to deal with emergencies, Jon has taken them to preview the plan many times, so everyone reacted very quickly and knew clearly what they should do now.
Each student was waving his wand at the robe he wore. After a few seconds, the robe turned blood-red and had a double-headed eagle and a deer-headed badge embroidered on his chest.
Most of the students returned to the cabin after doing this, and a small number of students like Luna and Hermione, who knew foreign languages, also put on a fur cloak on their robes and coats.
As for the badges on the sails, they have never changed them since they left the tower, and they are still the emblem of the double-headed eagle and deer-headed deer.
Jon drank the bottle of the remaining compound decoction, and soon he became the appearance of Johnson, a professor of transformation from Demstrong.
Just as everyone on the ship was ready, the two witches riding a flying broom were getting closer and closer, and soon they were side by side with the Hogwarts' side.
Both witches were blonde and blue-eyed, with typical European appearances, wearing dark blue robes without clear marks. When they tried to lower the flying broom and landed on the deck, they were stopped by an invisible thrust, making it impossible for them to get on the boat.
Jon knew that this was Dumbledore's age limit magic that played a role. He watched the two witches shout loudly in the sea breeze and greeted him in French that he had learned from Hermione.
"Good noon, gentlemen."
"Hello! Sir! Can we communicate in English?"
The older witch didn't seem to understand what Jon said, and he asked loudly in English with a clear Scottish accent.
The sea breeze is very strong today. Even if they are not very fast, they must try their best to shout out to ensure that the other party can hear their own voices.
Jon's expression remained unchanged, and he asked again in English.
"Is there anything you guys?"
"I can't believe that there are wizards who choose to go out to sea by boat! We are from Helkie and Heinz in Edinburgh. Can we go up and visit your boat? Sir."
The young witch whistled and asked with some excitement.
Jon shook his head and responded.
"Sorry, this ship belongs to the Demstrong Magic School. Without the permission of the school, I have no authority to let others on board."
Helkie and Heinz looked at each other, as if they were expressing their disappointment to each other, and then an older witch named Helkie continued to ask.
"Are you professors and students from Demstrong?"
"Yes, I'm leading the students on a study tour, teaching them some knowledge that they don't have on land in the ocean."
Hearing Jon's answer, Helki and Heinz looked no doubtful expression.
They praised Demstrong's teaching style, and even if they were rejected for a request to board the boat, they politely said goodbye and regained control of the flying broom.
And just as Neville, who was staying on the deck, quietly breathing a sigh of relief, thinking that these were just two wizards who were bored to come to the sea to make waves.
Under the cover of the sea breeze, "Herki" and "Heinz" who were leaving with their backs to Jon and the others, were having an unknown exchange with a cold expression.
“…does it look like it?”
"I don't think it's very similar...that person speaks French very well..."
"...... Regardless of whether it is, I will report the situation of these ships to the above first."
