In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 282. 280. Sailing North (Two in One)

France, Lyon.

The winter cold hadn't dissipated here yet, and Lily and Mag were walking through a secluded alley together.

"Albus has decided to stop the plan to attack Beauxbatons?" Lily looked at McGonagall.

Mag frowned tightly. After coming to France, except for the night when she attacked the correctional center, her brows never relaxed.

"There is no way, we have confirmed that the current headmaster of that school is one of the Dark Lord's diehard loyalists - Igor Karkaroff, that school has already completed its preparations in advance, if it is confirmed that it is not kept If there is no hope, then he will activate the method left by the Dark Lord to make all the stump students in the school die together."

Lily moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end it just turned into a calm inquiry.

"Then let's just watch and pretend that Beauxbaton behind us doesn't exist?"

McGonagall said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Albus won't let this happen. He wants to liberate that school more than any of us. It must have something to do with bringing us all together this time."

When they were talking, they had already come to the end of the alley. Facing the mottled wall, neither of them had any intention of stopping, and passed through the wall directly.

After passing the cold, water-curtain-like walls, a spacious space similar to the main hall of the British Ministry of Magic came into view.

There are many wizards coming and going here. Wu Pingxian has basically occupied all places except Paris where the French Ministry of Magic is located during these times. When Voldemort can't hide and Dumbledore can show up at any time, They basically did not encounter any major casualties.

Thanks to this, the French wizards who were liberated in the occupied areas began to restore their normal life order.

The heinous pure-bloods and mixed-bloods have all been liquidated, and all the property they plundered that should have belonged to the hemp-blooded wizards have been returned, and the status of wizards has returned to what it was before Voldemort came to France. The difference in blood is not a class, the original Slavery and oppression soon disappeared from the land.

This is something worthy of excitement and excitement for the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

But they all know that the reason why France can change so smoothly is mainly because Voldemort's rule of this land is very short.

Many people have not adapted to the new rules, so it will be easy for them to change back to the previous state.

But the situation in the UK is different. Voldemort has ruled there for ten years. It is a problem to counterattack and go back. If it is successful, how to eliminate the influence left by the rule of blood will also be a problem.

Of course, the Wuping Line has not even been completely occupied by France, so it is not possible to think about such a long-term problem.

McGonagall and Lily went straight into the main hall, and they went deep into a corridor where they happened to meet Lupine and Tonks who seemed to have just returned.

"It's time for you to change into a new suit, Senior Lupine. You've been wearing this suit since the beginning when you and I were on missions together. It's been half a year and you haven't changed it yet."

Tonks, with gradient curly hair and dressed like a little sister, was educating Lupine endlessly.

Lupine nodded again and again, the gentle smile on his face remained unchanged.

"It's only been half a year. When it was a long time ago, I haven't changed into new clothes for five or six years."

"Can it be compared with the present before? You represent Wu Pingxian and Dumbledore now. Wearing such old clothes will make people feel that we are still the same weak force as before."

While they were chatting, they also saw Mag and Lily who had followed from behind.

After seeing these two female professors, Tonks restrained himself subconsciously, stuck out his tongue secretly, and greeted McGonagall and the others.

"Good afternoon, Professor Potter and Professor McGonagall."

Both Lily and Mag looked at her strangely like Lupine, and then nodded in response.

Lily smiled at Lupine.

"Listen to her more, you are indeed not young."

What she said had some deep meaning, which made Lupine look a little embarrassed. Fortunately, at this moment, a big hand behind him suddenly put on his shoulder, which was a relief for him.

"Brother, shall we go for a drink after tonight's meeting? We've been busy for two or three months, so we haven't seen each other for two or three months."

It was Sirius, with a wide smile on his face, as if he had just experienced something happy.

"When you were chasing those Aurors in the morning, you just finished drinking and violated the commandment by using forbidden black magic. I will report this to Dumbledore later!"

The stern words came from Flitwick, who was beside him and with him, he was so small that no one noticed at first.

Sirius also hugged Flitwick carelessly, letting him lean against his thigh.

"Hey, professor, don't teach me like I did when I was still in school, I'm already sensible!"

"I don't think so!"

Flitwick said angrily.

"Is it so lively here?"

There was a hoarse greeting behind them, and a limping Moody joined Kingsley from the other end of the corridor.

"It seems that tonight is an important battle meeting, and all the important people are here."

Moody said loudly.

This corridor, which was not spacious at all, became crowded. The professors of Hogwarts and the top executives of the Order of the Phoenix did not stay here any longer. They walked to the conference room at the end of the corridor together, opened the door and left. go in.

There is a long table in the conference room that can seat twenty or thirty people. When McGonagall and the others entered it, Dumbledore was already sitting at the head of the long table, and the seat on his right was also sitting on the table. Already full of French wizards headed by Iniesta.

After McGonagall and the others were seated, the meeting that gathered all Wupingxian's high-level officials officially began.

As always, Dumbledore maintained the good habit of never talking nonsense in the meeting. The first sentence he spoke was the main topic of tonight's meeting.

"In the whole of France, except for Paris, where the Ministry of Magic has been shrinking its defenses, and Beauxbatons, who used students as a threat, all wizards in other regions have been liberated."

Dumbledore's voice was not loud, but it could clearly ring in the ears of everyone on both sides of the long table.

"The current principal of Beauxbatons has been confirmed to be Igor Karkaroff. Although he has always been deeply trusted by the Dark Lord, when we sent someone to contact him, he once implicitly stated that if If we occupy France, he is willing to voluntarily give up resistance and hand over Beauxbatons safely. Regardless of whether his words are trustworthy or not, we will fight for the possibility of peacefully occupying Beauxbatons."

"So, our next strategic goal is more clearly before us than ever before."

"That's how to break Paris!"

It was the same night when the senior officials of Wupingxian held this crucial meeting.

Durmstrang, Jon is all set.

He didn't refuse Grindelwald's mission, nor did he have any reason to refuse.

As a natural prophet "prophet", Grindelwald can often see fragments of the future that others cannot see, including the route of Hogwarts' trip, which is enough to show the power and precision of his predictive ability.

But this time, he let himself continue to the North Pole, and Jon didn't think there would be anything wrong.

As for the dangers that may arise in the Arctic
Opportunities always coexist with dangers. If he didn't even dare to take this risk, he wouldn't have allowed Dumbledore to sneak into Hogwarts Castle.

What's more, this time Jon is not without means. One night, Fox suddenly appeared in Durmstrang and sent him a feather of his own.

Jon never asked Dumbledore to tell him that he was going to leave Durmstrang. Now that Fox himself came to give him the feather, it is only possible that another insider disclosed the news.

There was a warm feeling in Jon's heart. During the more than a month of getting along with Grindelwald, he didn't know if his personality was too extreme when he was young, but now he has become a lot more normal, or there are many rumors about him in the outside world. Reality.

At least for himself, this old man who was once frustrated is really interesting, and of course Jon will not forget this kind of help.

This time going to sea, as Grindelwald said, he will not take any Hogwarts students with him, and even Jon plans to keep this matter a secret, in case Hermione and the others are in Durmstrang. I can't stay safe and want to go with him.

But the living did not take it, but Jon planned to take Nick with him.

No matter what the situation is, ghosts are much more convenient in action than living people. After all, Nick has existed for so many years. He is experienced and can provide Jon with a lot of help.

After getting everything ready, just when Jon was planning to leave tonight, a little accident happened.

The accident came from Nick. Jon made an appointment with him to gather by the lake behind Durmstrang Castle. As a result, he came with another "person", to be precise, a ghost.

Gabriel was carrying a small schoolbag and was happily flying around Jon's head.

"Travel! Travel! North Pole! North Pole!"

Jon didn't care about her, but looked at the culprit with blank eyes.

"Let's talk about it, no one will talk about it?"

With a guilty look on Nick's face, he argued.

"It's not my fault. Gabriel herself overheard the conversation between us and followed her on her own initiative."

Gabriel floated in mid-air, touching Jon's hair, which made him feel a chill on his scalp.

"Why doesn't Jon want Gabriel to follow? Gabriel is not a bad boy who likes to make trouble."

"What if you get lost in the North Pole?" Jon said helplessly. "The place is huge. If you get lost and you can't cast spells, it will be difficult for us to find you."

Gabriel held up one of her arms with a serious face.

"Gabriel promises that she will never disappear from Nick and Jon's sight for a second!"

"You promise it's useless, go back!"

"Ah! Gabriel is bored in the castle every day."

The little girl's eyes were red, and she didn't know whether she was playing tricks or showing her true feelings.

"Ginny Luna and the others have classes during the day, and Durmstrang has no one Gabriel knows, and the ghosts in this school are old-fashioned and fierce, and Nick won't play with me, Joe Well, you can't find anyone."

She looked like she was about to cry, which made Jon unmoved, but after some hesitation, she finally changed her mind.

Gabriel in the ghost state is basically very safe. Even if something happens to her, Nick can bring her back. The only thing that is not safe is that she is afraid that she will run around on the Arctic ice sheet. Just let Nick look good.

With hundreds of years of experience in dealing with Peeves, Nick is still very good at raising children, and besides, he was the one who caused the trouble in the first place.

After finalizing the sailing team members for this trip, Jon did not stay any longer. He and Nick Gabriel re-boarded Hogwarts on the shore of Durmstrang Lake after nearly two months. Ci number.

No one came out to see them off this time, and no one knew that Jon would have such a long voyage.

Grindelwald, the only insider in the castle, just stood quietly in front of the window of the principal's office, looking at the Hogwarts that had already started sailing to the center of the lake.The scene from the not-too-distant future reappeared in his mind.

In the magnificent hall, under the watchful eyes of wizards from all directions in Europe, the scarlet blood bloomed like monster petals.
And just as he was thinking, the huge Hogwarts ship disappeared silently on the surface of Durmstrang's lake under the already falling night.

At the same time, on the northernmost coastline of Norway, near the border area of ​​the Arctic Ocean, an old wooden ship suddenly jumped from the sea surface, and the towering long sails slowly fell from the top of the mast. Four animals surrounded the "H" The imprint shines brightly in the moonlight.

Gabriel was wearing a pirate captain's tricorne hat that Jon helped her conjure up. She was standing on the bow of the ship with one foot in high spirits. ring.

"Gabrielle! Let's go!"

Her childish voice couldn't penetrate the sea breeze, and didn't even startle the seagulls resting on the reef.

"Mate Nicholas! Pay attention to your surroundings!"

Nick's vigorous voice came from the mast.

"No problem, Captain Delacour!"

"Second Officer Green! Keep heading! Target north!"

Jon, who has been downgraded two ranks from the captain to the second officer, also controlled the rudder and responded weakly.

"Okay, Captain!"

"What are you doing! Jon, you are not cooperating at all! You can't drink rum for a week!"

"I'm underage, I can't drink alcohol."

"Then punish you to eat salted fish for a week!"
