In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 180 178. Boarding Azkaban

Nick's arrival provides Hogwarts with a lot of fun.

As a ghost who died in the Middle Ages and has been staying in Hogwarts Castle ever since, he is undoubtedly quite knowledgeable.

He is also the resident ghost of Gryffindor. Nick also has a very open-minded personality and quickly gets along with the students.

Gabrielle was the most excited about this. Finally, a "similar" of hers came to the ship. Now she was walking around Nick all day long, listening to him tell various stories about ghosts.

"You are definitely not qualified to join the Headless Knights." Nick said decisively, "Not to mention that you have not lost your head at all. The identity of the ghost is very problematic now. The ghost turned into after drinking the dead soul water is not Recognized by most ghost groups."

Gabrielle's face was obviously disappointed. She heard Nick talk about the interestingness of the Headless Knights and expressed her longing for this organization.

"Then how should I separate my head and body when I become a ghost?"

"This is actually very simple!" Nick snapped his fingers, "As long as you die by decapitation, you should be careful. When decapitating, make sure that the executioner's skills are high enough. You can chop off your head with one axe. , otherwise you will be like me with a bit of skin still attached, and the Headless Knights will not want it at all."

Gabrielle listened with a serious look on her face and nodded repeatedly, as if she was really thinking that after she became a living person, she would start looking for a skilled executioner to help her join the Headless Knights in the future.

Jon, who was looking at the chart, raised his head and looked at them helplessly.

"Don't teach the children badly, Nick. She still has a long life ahead of her. How could she die so early, let alone be beheaded."

Nick shrugged and he floated over to Jon's side.

"I have officially started to take charge of teaching the fourth and fifth grade students, but as I told you before, I understand the wand gestures and pronunciation of these magic spells, but after all, I am just a ghost, there is nothing I can do about it. Give them more help when they practice mistakes.”

"This is enough." Jon said softly, "Now is a special period. We have not wasted time and are still enriching our knowledge. Even if the situation is good, as for how much we can learn in the end, we can only look at ourselves."

Nick said very highly of this.

"The students are very serious. You know, I was the ghost of Gryffindor House before. At that time, although the Dark Lord had already gained power in the wizarding world, he had not yet occupied Hogwarts Castle like he does now. At that time, There are not so many skin monkeys who put so much energy into studying, they wish they could live on the Quidditch pitch every day, and stepping into the classroom is like torture for them."

"Times have changed. Under such a situation, if they are still so lazy, it will be equivalent to enjoying the time that professors have fought for with their lives."

Jon didn't say much more on this issue. He pointed to a specific point on the chart.

"Is this the destination of our voyage?"

That point is located within the waters of the North Sea, but it is relatively far from the island of Great Britain, and it seems that there are no islands marked yet.

"This is just the first sailing target."

When it came to business, Nick became obviously more serious.

"This land is not recorded on Muggle charts, so you can't see it. An extremely powerful protective spell was cast on the island hundreds of years ago. Basically, no Muggles except wizards can get close to it. , and you must have heard the name of this island.”

Jon was stunned for a moment, then he looked at that point on the chart again, and went through all the information about the island that he had learned in the magical world in his mind.

"Beihai. This is, Azkaban!"

"Yes, our first target point is Azkaban Island. This was also the first place the Dark Lord arrived during the month when he disappeared there. As far as I know, he stayed on this prison island. It took three days.”

Jon frowned. It was obvious that Azkaban Island was not a very good place for most people.

"When he landed on the island, had all the dementors on the island surrendered to him?"

Nick shook his head.

"I don't know about this. Part of the route of the ship driven by Drake passed by this prison island, so after learning about the Dark Lord's past traces, I quietly visited him several times. Been to that island.”

"At that time, there were many wizards from the Order of the Phoenix imprisoned on this island. I deliberately avoided those dementors. Although their ability to absorb positive emotions has little effect on ghosts, if they discover my existence , and may also communicate this matter with other Aurors stationed on the island."

"It's just that after arriving on the island, I didn't find anything more, because there are many hidden places there that require magic to enter, and I obviously don't have this ability."

Jon noticed the key to Nick's words.

"There are still Aurors stationed in Azka's class?"

Nick explained to Jon.

"Of course, there are no superiors and subordinates between the Ministry of Magic and the Dementors. The two parties are just cooperative. Since it is cooperation, there needs to be communication. And not all prisoners will be sentenced to Azkaban for life. Imprisonment means being sucked by these dementors until they go crazy or commit suicide. Some of them have prison terms, and the transfer of these people in and out of prison requires the cooperation of wizards and dementors."

When he said this, he paused, as if he thought of something, and continued.

"However, after the large-scale prison break of the Order of the Phoenix, many dementors were allowed to board the island of Great Britain. There should not be many monsters left in Azkaban now, let alone Aurors. , very few wizards would want to stay in that kind of place."

Jon looked at the chart thoughtfully.

"In other words, now is the best time for us to go to the island? Then what is our goal in coming to Azkaban Island?"

Nick said in a deep voice.

"Of course we need to find out what the Dark Lord did during the three days he stayed on the island that year. According to the situation at that time, it was that time he boarded Azkaban. From then on, these dementors completely surrendered to him and became his lackeys."

Jon took a deep breath and nodded silently.

"At our current pace, how long will it take to reach Azkaban?"

"Two days at the latest."
