In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 126 124. The carriage that cannot leave the land of England

The third floor of the Knight Bus has a great view.

Jon leaned against the head of the bed, and through the window beside him could see the bus passing through a Muggle city.

The speed of this transformed magic car is extremely fast, and the way it moves forward is very unique. Compared with rolling forward with four wheels, it is more like jumping forward, which also causes it to move forward slowly. Unusual bumps.

The houses in front of the bus all jumped out of the way of the bus to the sides before the bus was about to hit them, and then returned to their original positions after the bus left without causing any Muggle pedestrians and pedestrians on the side of the road. The attention of the people in the house looks amazing.

When Jon passed between these houses, the most recent time he could even hear through a glass window the sound of two boys plotting to steal grapes from the neighbor's vine.

This feeling is very novel, a bit like Jon was in the driver's seat of the carriage before, watching the scene of Hagrid driving the Hogwarts carriage, but it is obviously different.

"I went to Professor Potter on the second day after I came back, and planned to return the invisibility cloak to her, but she didn't accept it." Jon and Dumbledore talked about what happened when they returned the invisibility cloak, "she said Give this thing to me for safekeeping for the time being, and if she needs it, she will ask it back from me."

Dumbledore was also lying comfortably on the bed, and it seemed that taking Jon out this time was really just an ordinary trip.

"That thing is worth remembering for her, but it is extremely painful to miss. It is also a good thing for you to help her keep this invisibility cloak."

Jon quickly changed the topic to another aspect, and he turned to look at Dumbledore.

"Professor, even if we want to travel and not apparate directly to France, why do we still have to go through the official channel of the Ministry of Magic? Isn't there a risk of exposure?"

"If we go out of the country privately, it will be risky." Dumbledore explained softly, "Of course, an independent and safe temporary floo network can be established in the Order of the Phoenix, and some portkeys are left in various parts of Europe. If you want to avoid it, you can also use these methods."

"However, the Ministry of Magic under the control of the Dark Lord has been strictly restricting the entry and exit management of British wizards for the past two years. The Floo network management branch in Wales was also a new department established two years ago. I am very interested I'm interested to see if two half-blood wizards with clear backgrounds and legitimate reasons to go abroad want to leave the UK, what preparations do they need to make."

Jon could tell that Dumbledore didn't hide anything, he really just wanted to know about these things for himself, but why he wanted to know about the issue of British wizards leaving the country, there must be a deeper reason, he didn't say it, and neither did Jon ask.

But his answer reminded Jon of another question that he had wanted to know since he was brought into the carriage, he asked curiously.

"Then why do we keep bringing England with us, Professor Dumbledore? I think the Dark Lord's rule over the British magic world cannot be accepted by every magic government, right? Why don't we Wouldn't it be safer to leave England directly and go to a country that can accept the new Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore shook his head calmly.

"It's not as simple as you think. The carriage we live in is not just a mobile teaching place, it actually inherits the Hogwarts castle that was not captured eight years ago. It has a very special meaning to this land. As a result, its wheels can only turn on the ground of the United Kingdom forever, but there is no way to touch the land outside the British Isle."

When he said this, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes became a little deeper.

"Of course, nothing is absolute. No one can see what our future is going to be."

Just as Jon was thinking about what he said, the Knight Bus stopped suddenly.

The curly-haired wizard they had already laid down in Devon was on their way to Scotland to send Mrs. Vieira to her husband to quarrel, and the side of the road that stopped was the outskirts of a wilderness. , and there is no sign of a wizard raising his staff to waive a car.

Just as Jon was about to sit up from the bed in doubt, a gloomy, icy, despairing and deadly breath suddenly enveloped the entire bus!

Dumbledore, who was lying peacefully at first, couldn't help but frowned slightly. He retracted his hand into the sleeve of his robe, and when the hand stretched out again, there was an extra one in the palm of his hand, which looked ordinary. applewood wand.

The dead breath became more and more intense, and Jon even subconsciously pulled the quilt to wrap his body.

And just two seconds later, from the position of the spiral staircase, he saw a person who was covered in a gray cloak that seemed to be soaked in water. He was extremely tall, and he exuded an aura from the depths of his soul. Felt a monster of despair.

Dementors!
The black magic creature, a specialty of the British magic world, sucks people's enthusiasm to survive, leaving only boundless despair, and apart from the fear of the patron saint spell, it has no weakness and cannot be eliminated.

Long before Azkaban became the exclusive prison for wizards, dementors existed on that island.

Because the British Ministry of Magic didn't have any solution to these monsters, one of the ministers decided to use another way to appease these emotion-sucking monsters.

The island of Azkaban is used as a prison, and the dementors living on it are hired as jailers. Wizards and prisoners who have made major mistakes will be locked here and become the source of food for the dementors. , in order to appease these monsters and prevent them from going to the British mainland to cause riots.

Although this measure has been used by the Ministry of Magic to this day, there has always been controversy in the process of implementation. The key is that creatures like dementors are the purest evil. The Ministry of Magic has nothing to do with them. justice.

Now, of course, Voldemort's government has no such worries. Under his control, the current Ministry of Magic has become the magic government with the most in-depth communication with dementors in history.

So much so that they are now allowed to come directly to the British mainland to search for escaped prisoners.

"We don't have what you're looking for here."

After seeing the dementor for the first time, Dumbledore emphasized calmly.

But the dementor didn't seem to want to listen to his words. It floated slowly and continued to move forward, and the cold and desperate atmosphere became more and more intense, almost overwhelming Jon.

And at this moment, a silver thread flickered on the tip of Dumbledore's staff, and he spoke slowly in a non-threatening tone.

"I advise you... it's best to leave now."

　over, good night
