In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Eric was well prepared for Jon. Not only was he an invisibility cloak that could cover the entire sled, he also put some small spells on the skis of the sled so that it would not leave traces on the ice.

At the same time, a pair of goggles was prepared for Jon to protect his eyes from being stung by the sunlight reflected by the ice and snow.

After expressing his most sincere gratitude, Jon waved to Eric at the end, and then the two polar bears in front of him who were responsible for pulling the cart stretched out their limbs and started running towards the North Pole.

In front of the ice castle, after watching the back of the sled gradually disappearing into the snow, Eric returned to the fortress that had been isolated in the Arctic for five full years.

He did not stay in the room, but came to the utility room, then opened a movable floor, followed the steps cut in the ice, all the way down, and finally came to a room in the ice. Secret room.

He put on his gloves and put on the most familiar white coat. The original gentle smile on his face faded away, and turned into a crazy and obsessed smile when he looked at the ice wall with the strange creatures frozen in front of him. .

"Ah ha. The rest of the people have left. I'm back, my babies."

A sleigh led by a polar bear speeds across the ice field.

Gabrielle was extremely happy. Along the way, she offered to adopt a beluga whale three times, captured a polar bear twice, and begged to ride a walrus once, but Jon rejected them all.

Now she finally had two legitimate pets, and she was sitting on the back of one of the polar bears in high spirits, letting the cold wind roll up her long silver-gray hair and fly back like a flag.

Jon did not interrupt Gabrielle's happiness at this moment. According to the map Eric marked for him, they were still some distance away from the area where the Death Eaters started to scout, so there was no need to be so cautious for the time being.

"His research in the Arctic is questionable."

After staring at the map for a while, Jon turned his eyes to the bear under Gabrielle, and at the same time deliberately lowered his voice and spoke to Nick beside him.

Nick frowned slightly.

"I took Gabri around there after lunch, and nothing unusual happened. However, this is indeed the biggest problem."

Jon thought for a moment, then he asked softly.

"You have been in Hogwarts Castle for so long. Have you ever heard of any bear magical animals?"

Nick thought along Jon's words, but soon he shook his head.

"No, I got along pretty well with the wizard who taught Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts for a while. He talked to me a lot about magical beasts, but I have never heard of bears. I’ve heard of it. The only one recorded seems to be the creature called the panda in the East. Among these animals, there are alien species with magical properties.”

But he soon patched up his judgment.

"But the world is very big, and there are many types of magical animals. No one can be sure that he can know all the magical animals, not even a Hufflepuff student who was expelled. What's more, this is In the remote Arctic, there are few wizards, and there may be some unknown magical species of polar bears. Do you suspect that the secret of the young wizard lies in these two bears?"

Jon's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"It's just some unfounded suspicions, and this is definitely not just the secret of the wizard named Eric."

He didn't say anything else, but focused on studying the map.

Grindelwald's purpose in coming to the North Pole was very clear, which was to go to the end of the Hogwarts' scheduled voyage.

Jon had already remembered this location deeply in his mind when he was on the boat. It was twenty or thirty miles northeast of the North Pole.

This area was also marked with a prominent red dot on the map Eric gave him. At the same time, it was not far from the red dot. As he had deliberately emphasized, not many Death Eaters gathered at the beginning. But two months ago, the North Pole was where most of the Death Eaters gathered.

The two points are very close together. According to the scale on the map, it is probably less than two miles.

Jon's location was about four hundred miles away from the pole. Two polar bears running at full speed could maintain a speed of 35 miles per hour. In other words, if he didn't rest in the middle, it would take about ten minutes to reach the set goal. Three or four hours.

But of course Jon would not be that inhumane, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when he set off. Even if the daylight got longer the closer he got to the pole, it would definitely be dark ten hours later.

So today's target was set at a place not far from the pole. It was far away from several Death Eater stations and was considered a good place for hiding.

After continuing on for about two or three hours, Jon called Gabriel over and no longer let her wander around the sleigh, but hid under the invisibility cloak.

The invisibility cloak Eric prepared for them was obviously not comparable to the one Lily lent him.

There are only two manufacturing processes for invisibility cloaks in the magical world. One is to directly peel off the fur of the invisible beast and then weave it into clothes, and the other is to use a disguise spell on special cloth.

The invisibility cloak made of invisible animal fur is more expensive and has better invisibility effect, but as time goes by, the invisibility effect will weaken until it completely fails.

The price of the invisibility cloak made of the Illusion Charm is relatively low, but the specific invisibility effect depends on the individual level of the caster, and the shelf life is shorter, basically no more than three months. Such an invisibility cloak will completely become An ordinary cloak.

The piece Eric gave them was obviously an invisibility cloak made of the Disillusionment Charm. It was precisely because of this that he was able to choose a cloth large enough to cover the entire sled.

Just as they continued to drive forward for an hour, Jon and the others finally saw the first Death Eater they met in the North Pole.

…

Mike is an old man who started working hard with Voldemort in the 1970s. It is precisely because of his long experience and his loyalty that he has achieved his current prominent identity and status.

What can be exchanged for this is more important and dangerous work.

Just like this trip to the North Pole, before he was transferred, he had already heard that dozens of his colleagues had died at the hands of the wizard who had become world-famous fifty years ago. Even the French establishment After great service, Rabastan, who had just returned home and was about to accept the reward from his master, also died in the hands of a boy.

Yes, in the hands of a boy.

This news cannot be suppressed at all, at least it is a well-known secret among the Death Eaters.

After all, many Death Eaters who saw that scene fled with Rodolphus, and they had already passed the matter to other colleagues before the hush order was issued.

A boy who looked to be at least fifteen or sixteen years old used a death curse on the sea to kill Rabastan Lestrange, a very high-status figure even among purebloods.

The vast majority of Death Eaters who had not witnessed that scene reacted with disbelief upon hearing the news.

It doesn't matter that Rabastan died under the Curse. After all, no one has survived this curse since ancient times. But what is really unbelievable is that the person who used the Curse was still in a magic school. child!

Until the higher-ups ordered all insiders to shut up and block the news, those who were originally skeptical now all believed it was true.

This made some people secretly wonder, was the boy who killed Rabastan actually one of Dumbledore's students?

You can cast the Death Curse at this age, even if it comes from Hogwarts Castle where Voldemort is the principal, it is suspected of throwing a scapegoat on Voldemort.

However, this incident also made the Death Eaters who were transferred to the Arctic extremely vigilant. It has been so long since the incident of Rabastan's death, and they still have not relaxed. The police always patrolled the designated area loyally to their duties. At most, they would secretly complain in their hearts. After waiting for so long and there was no movement, why didn't the people above let them evacuate from here.

Mike also thought about this problem again this afternoon.

In fact, many people suspected that they were responsible. Rodolphus was unwilling to accept his brother's death, and he did not have the courage to go to the territory of the wizard who rescued the boy to kill people, so he could only try his luck here and bet that they would come again.

But Mike only thinks this is Rodolphus's fantasy.

No one is a fool. They have already caught people at sea. Anyone with any brains will guess that they will have an ambush here in the Arctic. They will not come at all in a short time. Even if they do come, they will definitely. With wizards of the same level as their master following them, there was no point in waiting.

With this thought in his mind, Mike, who had huddled his entire body in his robe, was suddenly attracted by two polar bears running side by side.

The two bears seemed to be chasing each other, one behind the other, running wildly on the ice field.

Mike didn't feel anything special about this. Polar bears are of course the most common animals here. These stupid bears act as if they have never seen anyone. There are basically several such bears squatting nearby wherever they gather. .

The Death Eaters didn't care about them, and some even wanted to practice with them. Unfortunately, these bears looked bulky, but in fact they were very flexible. They could easily avoid the flying spells by moving left and right on the ice field. , those Death Eaters who were interested in hunting could only capture a few Arctic foxes and seals.

Watching the two stupid bears running away, Mike put his hands into his sleeves and continued walking on the ice sheet, silently wondering when these days would end.

When he didn't know it, six eyes were just staring at him and passed by him.

The cover of the invisibility cloak is indeed very useful. Although the invisibility cloak made by the Illusion Curse is generally very ineffective, this is the North Pole, and anything but white is white, so even if the effect is poor, it will not have any impact.

The sunlight shining on the ice sheet during the day will leave a big impression on people's eyes. When the Death Eaters first arrived, they were not familiar with the conditions here, and many of them had their eyes swollen, and they have not recovered yet.

Not to mention at night, the dark night is the best protection.

"This guy looks a little dorky."

After the Death Eater was no longer visible, Gabrielle whispered.

Jon patted her head.

"Stay like Gabrielle."

"Ah~ No! Gabri is the smartest!"

Unlike Jon who was playing around with Gabri, the expression on Nick's face became serious.

"Encountering Death Eaters means that we have entered their reconnaissance circle. We must be more careful next."

Jon pressed Gabriel's head so that her hands could not hit him, and nodded seriously.

"Slow down a little, we're not in a hurry anyway."

His words attracted Gabriel's attention. The little girl finally didn't want to get back to where she was. Instead, she volunteered to slow down the two "coachmen" pulling the cart in front.

Of course, Jon didn't reject her for this little thing. The two polar bears were indeed extraordinary. Not only did they have enough endurance, but they could actually understand human language. After receiving Gabriel's message, they automatically slowed down.

This went on until dark, and Jon and the others were less than a hundred miles away from their destination.

Instead of staying up late and rushing, they arrived at the pre-booked location and set up tents. At the same time, they also allowed the bear, who had been running for almost seven or eight hours, to stop and rest.

Without doing anything else, Jon put the invisibility cloak on the sleigh and got into the white tent to rest.

They would reach their final destination tomorrow, so it was best to get a good sleep tonight and recharge their batteries.

However, things often turned out to be unsatisfactory. About four or five hours after falling asleep, Jon was woken up by Nick who was keeping watch outside.

"Someone's coming, Jon! We'd better find a place to hide quickly!"

Jon sat up very quickly. He only took off a coat when he slept, and now he only had to put it back on to walk out of the tent.

After leaving the tent, he tapped the roof of the tent with his wand, and it disassembled itself and fell neatly on the snow.

"They're coming!"

Gabrielle, who was lying next to a raised snowbank, whispered to them.

Jon and Nick immediately bowed and walked quickly in the direction of Gabrielle. As they walked, Jon took out the invisibility cloak that Lily lent him from his pocket, and when they came to Gabrielle After approaching, the three of them were enveloped.
