In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 181 179. Before going to the island

Nick's time estimate was spot on.

One morning in early November, after waking up early, students who came to the deck to relax found that the entire Hogwarts had been shrouded in a gray mist.

No one can clearly see the scenery in front of them. Fortunately, the Hogwarts is unmanned and there is no need for someone to specifically control the course.

After seeing the gray fog, Nick concluded that they were not far from Azkaban Island, and it would take them another morning at most to reach the coast of the prison island.

As a result, the morning class was temporarily canceled. Jon called everyone together and began to make plans for arriving at Azkaban Island.

The vast majority of students will definitely still have to stay on board.

This carriage-turned-sea-ship is still protected by extremely strong protective magic.

Dumbledore had told him before setting off that the age restriction spell had taken effect on the ship, and any wizard who did not meet the conditions had no chance of boarding the ship unless it was used by an extremely powerful wizard who could rival Dumbledore. A confusion spell.

As for whether Dementors can break into Hogwarts, no one knows, but what is certain is that it is safer to stay on the ship than to enter the island.

After all, if something unexpected happens, the Hogwarts can start early, stay away from Azkaban Island, and continue sailing to the next destination.

So Jon originally planned to disembark and land on the island alone with Nick. Among all the people, he was the only one who could exert the effect of the Patronus Charm. Although he could not summon the real Patronus yet, he could already deal with the Dementors. had an impact.

As long as he is not surrounded by a large number of dementors, he will not be in any danger under normal circumstances after landing on the island.

It's just that his idea was strongly opposed by most other people.

"We know that none of us have learned the Patronus Charm and can't help you when fighting those dementors, but Nick also said that no one can guarantee how many wizards will remain on this island. Down."

Neville said seriously.

"The escape of the members of the Order of the Phoenix did not involve all the prisoners held here. There must be other prisoners in Azkaban. This means that the Ministry of Magic is very likely to have some Aurors stationed here. This. If you meet these people, then we can help you."

Many people agreed with what Neville said.

Hermione pursed her lips.

"We believe in your strength, but one more person can always be just in case. We will not hold you back or be a burden to you."

Jon touched his forehead with a headache.

"Okay, what you said does make sense. I also believe in your ability, but I can only take one more person with me when I get off the ship. If there are more, there will be no way to guarantee the range of the Patronus Spell. We will always have to Think about it, the most common people on this island are dementors, aren’t they?”

The students, especially Neville, Ron and Hermione, who were in the same grade as Jon, all had unwilling expressions on their faces.

They are obviously dissatisfied, but this dissatisfaction is not directed at anyone else, but at themselves.

Obviously they entered school in the same year as Jon, but now it is obvious that they can no longer catch up with his progress.

What's more important is that they usually don't relax at all, especially Hermione. After losing a whole school year and a half of study time, she just relied on hard work to catch up with her progress. Students who learn to cast wands from the beginning have almost the same level of magic skills.

But there is still an insurmountable gap between him and Jon.

Naturally, the students who finally disembarked with Jon could only be chosen from the fifth grade students. They had basically learned all the basic spells and were exposed to more advanced spells. Some outstanding students even competed with the adult wizards who had walked out of the campus. Compared with that, there is not much difference.

The top five fifth-year students were drawn by lot, and Fred, one of the Weasley twins, won the qualification.

Compared with the original work where Mrs. Weasley had to worry about whether they could pass their wizarding exams, their grades in school are always among the best in their grade.

There are no stupid people in the Weasley family. George and Fred just didn't focus on studying a lot of the time. But during this period of exile, they also knew very well that under the protection of so many people who sacrificed their lives, they I am simply not qualified to study other things that I am interested in, but force myself to focus most of my energy on learning.

After confirming the personnel to disembark, Jon handed over the command of staying on the ship to take care of the students to Neville and George.

Especially after all the other students left, he left the two of them alone and warned them extremely seriously.

"After we land on the island, you must arrange for people to be alert to the movements on the island at all times. If you find signs of a large-scale attack on Hogwarts by Dementors, you must not hesitate to let the ship leave the island immediately."

Neville frowned.

"What will you do after leaving the island?"

"The course of the Hogwarts is not entirely beyond our control. The worst we can do is you wander around in the nearby waters for a while, and then find an opportunity to return." Jon said.

In this regard, Neville and George nodded together, but Nick on the side looked like he was hesitant to speak. After seeing Jon wink at him quietly, he didn't want to say anything. What you say means what you say.

"Azkaban Island is not big, but it is filled with gray fog all year round. But as long as we are not so far apart from each other, the sparks can still be seen."

Jon continued.

"When the time comes, watch the sparks I release and you control the Hogwarts to determine the next action. The green sparks mean that we need to evacuate. Then you can drive the ship to the coast near the sparks. The red sparks It means that the situation has deteriorated to a certain extent, and you must immediately leave the coast of Azkaban Island and leave the scope of this gray fog, and then we can talk about what happens next."

He explained all possible situations to Neville and George. Even if Azkaban lacks guards now, the most terrifying prison in the wizarding world is still a den for them, so they must prepare for the worst. plan.

Soon, just when Jon and Fred had made all the preparations and were ready to go.

The Hogwarts suddenly shook, and then the entire ship visibly stopped.

They arrived.
