Chapter 251: The Uninvited Guest

Chapter 251: The Uninvited Guest

The current Lily, whose emotions were too introverted, didn't notice that she treated Jon a little differently than the other students.

Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't bother to give it a thought.

In this world where the trajectory of history has deviated, Lily is actually the one who has lost the most, even though she is still alive.

***

In the Norwegian Sea, due to the passage of the Atlantic Ocean's warmer and colder currents, the sea surface will not freeze even in the cold winter months.

Just because the sea does not freeze, does not mean that the atmospheric temperature has not dropped below 0 degrees.

It has been close to half a month since they departed from the tower. During this time, Jon and Nick studied the crystal orb that hid the voyage route in the Headmaster's office and absorbed the magic in the crystal orb after acquiring the final destination.

After that, the entire Hogwarts automatic navigation function disappeared, and then the false helmsman's position that was originally given to Fred only as a label became official, and he finally managed to take up his post.

As a magical ship, the Hogwarts could rely on magic to solve the problem of sailing power, so there was no need for them to sail the ship using wind-driven long sails.

And after the removal of the ship's autopilot function, Jon and the others studied the chart for half a day and finally following the advice given to them by Dumbledore, re-planned a new route along the coast of Norway.

Then they turned the direction, following this new route to sail north, and in the meantime spent Christmas at sea and welcomed the 1994 New Year.

Perhaps their modified voyage helped them, they didn't encounter any accidents for more than half a month, and the journey was smooth and even boring.

During this journey, they also encountered a few Muggle cargo ships, but Jon did not interact with them any more. Just when the time entered the end of January 1994, they were already close to the northernmost point of the whole European continent, Colin, who had been in charge of the lookout work, suddenly raised an alert to the people on deck at noon in the middle of the day.

"Directly south of east at an angle of 30 degrees! Wizards are riding flying brooms!"

Jon soon learned of the news and made his way to the deck with a stony expression.

It is completely a rare phenomenon to encounter a wizard on the sea, especially a wizard riding a flying broom.

Through the binocular, he also saw two male wizards riding brooms in the sky, their robes fluttering behind them by the cold wind.

These two men at first flew in the direction of the west, but soon they also found Jon and the ship they were on, and the two men seemed to have some kind of conversation with each other, and then together they veered their broom heads direction and flew towards the Hogwarts.

"I honestly can't imagine that there are wizards out there who choose to travel by ship! We are Helgi and Heinz from Edinburgh, could we possibly have a chance to go down and visit your ship? Sir."

The young male wizard asked with a whistle looking a little excited.

Jon shook his head in response.

"I'm sorry, but this ship is owned by the Durmstrang Institute, and I don't have permission to let anyone else on board without the school's permission."

Helgi and Heinz looked at each other as if they were expressing their disappointment to each other, and then the older male wizard named Helgi went on to ask.

"You guys are professors and students from Durmstrang?"

"That's right, I am leading my students on a school trip to teach them a few topics on the ocean that are not available on land."

Hearing Jon's answer, Helgi and Heinz looked at each other with little doubt.

Then they praised Durmstrang's teaching style, and even though they were denied the request to visit the ship, they politely said goodbye and rose into the sky with their flying brooms under control again.

And just as Neville, who remained on deck, breathed a quiet sigh of relief, thinking that they are just two wizards who came to the sea to pass off some steam due to their boredom.

Under the cover of the sea breeze, "Helgi" and "Heinz", who had their backs to Jon and the others, were having an unseen exchange with a grim expression.

"-Do they look like them?"

"I don't think so. That man spoke proper French."

"Whether they are the one or not, let's report this ship to our superiors."
