In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 267. 265. The Northernmost Magic School

Jon didn't know what kind of discussions and arrangements had been made between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

But of course they have no reason to refuse to go to Durmstrang now, whether it is a visit or something else, under the leadership of the witch named Vader, Jon and the others were taken by Phantom shape, disappeared on this coast.

Soon, they appeared beside a large lake surrounded by mountains.

This is a place with howling cold winds, and the temperature has definitely dropped below zero, but the lake has not frozen over, and there are still a few deep black ships that are one size smaller than Hogwarts docked on the shore.

The authentic double-headed eagle and deer-head emblems are depicted on the sails of these ships, and they are obviously the property of this northernmost magic school in Europe.

"Your boat will be brought here later. Come on, follow me into the castle. The school has specially prepared a dinner for you tonight."

The witch whose full name should be Vida Rozier said to the Hogwarts students who stopped by the lake.

Jon took the lead and followed behind her, walking towards the dark castle not far from the mountain lake.

Hermione frowned slightly, she obviously showed some uneasiness, walked quickly to Jon's side, lowered her voice, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I saw some introductions to Durmstrang in the library book, which said that this school excludes hemp students"

Jon is naturally aware of such things, he said softly.

"Hogwarts Castle used to treat students of all bloodlines equally. The rules can be changed, and how to change them depends on what the person who masters the rules thinks."

His words eased some of Hermione's doubts, but the previous experiences made this smart girl a lot more vigilant. She believed in Jon's judgment, but she would not let her guard down.

A group of people soon came to the castle.

Compared with Hogwarts Castle, Durmstrang Castle is obviously much smaller. From the outside, it is only four stories high. The black stone walls are covered with a lot of snow that has not yet melted. , showing an ancient bleakness.

Jon knew a little about Durmstrang's history.

This magic school was founded by the great Bulgarian witch - Nerida Volkanova.

However, it seems that none of the wizards who founded the magic school had a good ending. Nerida died mysteriously not long after establishing Durmstrang, and no one has investigated the cause of her death so far.

Then the person who really established the style of this school was its second headmaster, Harfon Mount.

Mount built Durmstrang a reputation for dueling and martial magic in all its forms, which is what made the school so open to the Dark Arts.

Compared with the atmosphere of academic research in normal magic schools, the teachers and students of Durmstrang are all keen on wizard duels and powerful offensive spells.

And such spells are more or less related to black magic.

But being open to black magic is by no means equated with black wizards. For some students who behave badly and are crazy about black magic research, no matter which headmaster in Durmstrang will not tolerate it, this has led to It is also the school that expels the most students every year among the three magic schools in Europe.

Rozier walked into the Durmstrang Castle with Jon and his group plus the two ghosts of Nick Gabriel.

They were greeted by two wizards also wearing blood-red robes at the foyer of the castle. When one of them was a student at Hogwarts seeing his face, everyone couldn't help but be taken aback.

That was exactly what Jon had been pretending to be with Polyjuice Potion before, the transfiguration professor named "Spens Johnson".

After Jon saw the real Johnson, his expression was a little weird. He thought that the identity he pretended to be might not exist, but Dumbledore and Grindelwald jointly released a smoke bomb, but he didn't expect it to be true. There are people.

Facing Jon's strange eyes, the genuine Professor Johnson was much more cordial.

Probably because he is also British, when he sees Hogwarts students, he always has a gentle smile on his face.

He himself was very rough, with a thick beard and a big belly in front of him, a bit like a normal Hagrid.

"Welcome to Durmstrang."

Beside him was a tall, thin, middle-aged wizard with a cold face. It could be heard that the welcome he expressed in unfamiliar English was not perfunctory, but it just didn't make people feel much festive.

"The headmaster really shouldn't have let you come here, you should have warmed up the sinister energy emanating from your body by the fireplace." Johnson complained, and at the same time showed a kind smile to Jon and the others, "I'm glad you can Come and visit, boys."

The Hogwarts students thanked him politely, and then followed the three Durmstrang professors into the castle, which was much warmer inside than outside.

There is a long red carpet on the floor leading to the corridor from the foyer, and some Nordic-style murals are hung on the surrounding walls. Pirates yelling with axes, and beautiful girls in white veils with wreaths on their heads.
The Hogwarts students looked at the surrounding furnishings curiously. Most of them have been staying in the Hogwarts carriage since entering school, and have never been to the real magic school castle.

Even Hermione, who had stayed in Hogwarts castle for more than a year, was full of curiosity about the surroundings. They were not qualified to walk in corridors like this in the previous "school", and they were also curious about the real It is very confusing what kind of place a normal little wizard goes to school.

As they gradually went deeper into the castle, they finally saw Durmstrang's students.

Now it seems that the get out of class has just finished, and from time to time in the classroom, students who are about the same age as them come out of the classroom holding books and parchment, chatting and laughing.

Under normal circumstances, they don't seem to be able to wear the blood-red robes that Durmstrang featured, but they don't dress ostentatiously. When they walked out of the classroom, many students had already seen Jon and the others. There was a curious look in their eyes.

But after seeing the cold-faced Rozier, a group of students who were daring to strike up a conversation also avoided them with resentful expressions. It can be seen that this witch has a lot of awe in the hearts of these students.
