Lily was too restrained now, and Jon didn't notice any difference between her and other students.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't have any idea.
In this world where the historical trajectory has gone awry, Lily is actually the one who has lost the most, even though she is still alive.
Because the warmer and saltier ocean currents of the Atlantic Ocean pass through the Norwegian Sea, the sea surface does not freeze even in the cold winter.
Although the sea surface will not freeze, it does not mean that the air does not drop below 0 degrees.
Nearly half a month has passed since they left the tower. During this time, Jon and Nick studied the crystal ball containing the navigation chart in the principal's office. After obtaining the final destination, they set out
The magic power in the crystal ball was absorbed.
After that, the entire automatic navigation function of the Hogwarts disappeared. The helmsman position that was originally just a virtual mark for Fred was finally able to take up the post.
However, the power required for the entire ship to sail is not simply the sea wind driving the long sail. As a magical ship, the Hogwarts can certainly rely on magic to solve the problem of sailing power.
After canceling the autopilot function of the ship, Jon and others studied the chart for a long time, and finally followed the advice given to them by Dumbledore and re-planned a new route along the coast of Norway.
Then they changed direction and sailed north along this new route, spending Christmas on the sea and ushering in the New Year of 1994.
Perhaps it was because Jon and the others had changed the shipping route that they had not encountered any accidents in more than half a month. The journey was smooth and smooth, and it could even be said to be boring.
During this period, they also encountered several Muggle freighters, but Jon had no further interactions with them. As time entered the end of January 1994, when they were approaching the northernmost point of the entire European continent, Jon, who had been responsible for the lookout work,
Colin suddenly alerted the people on the deck at noon one day.
"Direction 30 degrees due east by south! There is a wizard riding a broomstick!"
Jon soon learned the news and came to the deck with a solemn expression.
Meeting a wizard on the sea is an extremely rare phenomenon, especially a wizard riding a broomstick.
Through the telescope, he also saw two wizards riding broomsticks in the sky, their robes blown by the cold wind behind them.
The two people initially flew towards the west, but soon they also discovered the boat Jon and the others were on. There seemed to be some conversation between the two, and then they turned the direction of the broom heads together, heading towards
Flying over with the Hogwarts.
Jon put down the binoculars and squinted his eyes.
He didn't know these two wizards, and they were too far away. Even with a telescope, he couldn't see clearly whether there were any obvious signs on their clothes.
But after already knowing the current situation, Jon never minds guessing things in the worst direction.
"Neville, George, let everyone do as we have rehearsed before, put on robes immediately, and all students who do not speak foreign languages should stay in the dormitory and do not come out!"
As he gave orders, the entire ship moved very quickly.
In order to deal with emergencies, Jon has led them to rehearse this plan many times, so everyone reacts quickly and knows exactly what they should do now.
Each student waved his wand at the robes he was wearing. After a few seconds of spelling, the robes all turned blood red and had a double-headed eagle and a deer head badge embroidered on the chest.
Most of the students returned to the cabin after doing this, and a few, like Luna and Hermione, who knew foreign languages, even put on a fur cloak over their robes.
As for the emblems on the sails, they have never changed them since they left the tower, and they still have the double-headed eagle and deer head emblems on them.
Jon drank the bottle of Polyjuice Potion that was still left, and soon he transformed into Johnson, the transfiguration professor from Durmstrang.
Just as everyone on the ship was getting ready, the two wizards riding broomsticks were getting closer and closer, and before long, they were alongside the side of the Hogwarts ship.
The two wizards were both blond and blue-eyed, with typical European looks. They were wearing dark blue robes without clear markings. When they tried to lower their broomsticks to the deck, they were stopped by an invisible push, making them unable to do so.
Way to get on board.
Jon knew that this was the age restriction magic set by Dumbledore coming into play. He watched the two wizards shouting in the sea breeze and saying hello in the French he learned from Hermione.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen."
"Hello sir! Can we communicate in English?"
The older wizard seemed unable to understand what Jon was saying, and he asked loudly in English with a distinct Scottish accent.
The sea breeze was very strong today. Even if their speed was not very fast, they still had to shout out their words as much as possible to ensure that the other party could hear their voices.
Jon's expression remained unchanged, and he asked again in English.
"What's the matter with you two?"
"I can't believe that there are still wizards who choose to go out on a boat! We are from Edinburgh Helki and Heinz, can we go up and visit your ship? Sir."
The young wizard whistled and asked excitedly.
Jon shook his head and responded.
"I'm sorry, this ship belongs to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I don't have the authority to let others on board without the school's permission."
Helki and Heinz looked at each other, as if expressing their disappointment to each other, and then the older wizard named Helki continued to ask.
"Are you professors and students from Durmstrang?"
"Yes, I am leading the students on a school trip to teach them some knowledge in the ocean that is not available on land."
Hearing Jon's answer, Helki and Heinz didn't look suspicious.
They praised Durmstrang's teaching style. Even though they were refused the request to visit the ship, they politely said goodbye and regained control of the broomstick to take off.
Neville and the others who stayed on the deck quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these were just two wizards who came to the sea to make waves out of boredom.
Under the cover of the sea breeze, "Helkie" and "Heinz", who were walking away with their backs to Jon and the others, were having an unknown exchange with cold expressions.
"...Does it look similar?"
"I don't think it's like...that man speaks normal French..."
"...Whether it is or not, let's report the situation of these ships to the superiors first."
