Seeing only Neville and the three of them, Jon frowned.
Neville, who used Li's transformation skills to disguise himself as a sheep and struggled with the black cats in the pasture for a long time, was already panting from exhaustion.
He and Jon continued running towards the first floor and said at the same time.
"Hermione...the two of them ran away from us! But they must be downstairs...the cats chased them downstairs."
His words did not reassure Jon, but instead gave rise to a bad premonition in his heart.
Without saying anything else, they continued running downstairs. Of course Neville and the others couldn't use the floating spell to fly, but fortunately there were only a few floors left.
Jon did not dare to fly ahead this time to let Neville and the others out of his sight to avoid any further accidents. Instead, he quickly came to the first floor with them.
They didn't find Hermione or the others on the way, and there was no response to their calls.
After seeing the empty and messy foyer on the first floor, everyone's expressions became ugly.
Jon was the first to break the silence. The tower was shaking more and more violently. They could hardly stand firm and might fall to the ground at any time.
"You guys go out first, and I'll find a way to find them. It's too dangerous here, and something could go wrong at any time!"
Neville and the others all had expressions of shame on their faces. Jon was not with them, and they couldn't even protect the two girls, which made them feel even more ashamed.
But none of them had any objections to Jon's arrangement. The three of them knew very well that not only would they not be able to provide any help to Jon if they continued to stay here, they would also bring him greater trouble.
However, when Neville and the others reached out to push the door open, the two doors did not move at all.
"The door won't open!" Ron yelled.
At this time, the chandelier on the ceiling was shaking, fine stones were already falling from it, and cracks as fine as spider webs began to spread in all directions!
Jon gritted his teeth, suppressed the almost fearful worry in his heart, passed by Ron and Neville, and slammed into the door with his body still attached to the curse!
There was a loud "bang", as if something invisible was broken, and then the two doors were knocked open without any resistance!
The wet and salty sea breeze blew against their faces, and right in front of them was the huge Hogwarts.
The sea water is no longer as calm as before, and there seems to be some terrifying giant beast under the sea stirring up the world in the water! The surging waves are constantly beating on the platform in front of the tower, and the white waves seem to be spreading in front of Neville and the others.
Sprinkle down!
George and his team, who were always observing the situation of the tower on the ship, noticed the unusual movement in the nearby sea area from the beginning, so they set up the springboard in front of the tower early. When they saw the tower shaking violently and the door suddenly opened,
They waved excitedly to Jon and the others.
"Quick! Come up! This tower is going to collapse!"
Jon stretched out his hand to push Neville and the three of them onto the gangplank, but he turned around and prepared to return to the tower.
"Get back on the boat! Ask George to drive the boat far away immediately. You must stay away from this tower!"
"You want to go back to find Hermione and the others?"
Jon said extremely seriously.
"I promised Professor Dumbledore that I would not let this ship lose one person. If there must be one less person, it can only be me."
Ron, Neville and Lee stood on the springboard, looking at Jon blankly.
However, just as the next wave of waves suddenly surged up and exploded around them, a faintly audible voice, masked by the sea wind, suddenly came from the distant sea!
"Here...we are here..."
Jon, who had already retreated to the door, suddenly stopped. His body floated up and he quickly floated up.
On the other side of the tower, he saw Hermione holding Luna's arm in the waves and struggling desperately to swim in the direction of Hogwarts!
There was an expression of surprise on his face, and he emphasized it to Neville one last time.
"Go back to the boat! I'll rescue them!"
He flew up and rushed towards the direction of Hermione and the others, and soon he was above the two girls.
Luna's condition didn't seem to be very good. Her face was livid and her eyes were tightly closed, but her breathing was obviously still up and down.
Jon used the magic power stored in the gem to increase the strength of the levitating spell applied to himself.
Then he held Hermione in one hand and the unconscious Luna in the other, and fished them out of the turbulent water.
Fortunately, the two girls were very light, so Jon didn't find it difficult to fly, and soon he took them back to the Hogwarts.
George had been watching Jon's movements. After seeing him land on the boat, he immediately swung the sledgehammer in his hand and knocked away the wooden stick stuck on the side of the boat with one hammer!
The ship's side, which had been set on a predetermined course, began to rotate on its own, and the Hogwarts immediately yawed, missing the tower that had obviously begun to tilt, and headed in the north direction.
And just when Jon put Hermione and Luna down and took a breath, someone suddenly pointed in the direction of the top of the tower and exclaimed.
Under the dark night sky, a faint light shone on the top of the tower. In front of the light, there was a figure as small as an ant, and he dropped a piece of something from the tower.
The thing fell rapidly, and Jon raised his wand in a trance, and when it was about to fall into the sea, he used the Floating Charm on it.
The next second, it was steadily suspended in the mid-air not far from Jon. It was a stone slab, and a small part of the stone surface was glowing with the fluorescent magic text.
Jon reached out and took the stone slab, and there was a note taped on it, with a line of beautiful English written on it.
[This is what I promised to give you]
Jon looked at the stone slab with a silent expression on his face, then he raised his head and looked at the top of the tower that had tilted at an angle of almost thirty degrees.
There was a figure there, standing there and waving in the direction they were sailing.
An inexplicable sadness arose in Jon's heart.
He knew that if he wanted to, Sir Stoker could easily escape from this tower without even having to face his coercion and questioning. Rabil could take him wherever he wanted to go.
But it is obvious that his choice at this moment is to rather die than leave this tower that carries his dreams and beliefs.
Under the clouds, above the waves.
Tobias Stork watched the big ship gradually move away with calm eyes. He shifted his gaze from the sea to the sky above his head and said softly.
"You must regret following a master like me, Rabil."
Rabiel, just like countless days and nights, stood respectfully behind the old Sir, he shook his head and said.
"The master is the greatest person in the world. Rabiel will always be proud of the house elf who can be his master!"
