In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

In the dining room, the bright yellow fire quickly turned into a cluster of green flames after being sprinkled with Floo powder.

Immediately afterwards, the flames changed into human faces, and Dumbledore's face, which had not changed much, appeared in the furnace.

For this meeting with Dumbledore, Jon did not gather all the students together.

It would not bring any benefit to them on the sea to know some things that were happening on land in advance, and regarding the issue of Voldemort's contract, a certain amount of confidentiality was needed before everything was clear.

So there were only Jon and Nick in the restaurant during this meeting, and the other students were in the classroom.

"You should have read the letter I asked Fox to bring you, Jon, but let's not mention the content of the letter for now. There is another very important thing that you need to do."

Dumbledore looked serious.

"On the desk in the principal's office in the cabin, I have a crystal ball commonly used for divination, but there is no divination information left on that ball. Instead, it plans the route of our voyage. Navigation is based on this route. But according to the changes that have taken place now, you must change the next route."

Jon also frowned. Yesterday's letter from the Admiral made it very clear about the attack on the correctional facility that day, especially what Voldemort and Dumbledore said.

He could think of reasons why Dumbledore made such an arrangement.

"The Dark Lord is going to send someone to find us?"

"No." Dumbledore corrected him and said seriously, "He must have sent someone there. After we announced the two Aurors of Azkaban, he should have discovered the problem. He probably started sending people to look for you, and he guessed that you were another person, a very powerful person."

Jon could hear what Dumbledore was trying to emphasize.

"The manpower he sent was based on the standard of the powerful opponent he guessed?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"Not only that, after this incident, he is very likely to come to you in person. Of course, this also depends on how well his own condition recovers, and whether the things hidden behind are important to him."

"But no matter what, we must be absolutely careful on this, because the situation in France requires us to expand our results, and because the Hogwarts itself has been protected by an age limit, I have no We can send more people on the ship to protect you. But I will let Fox stay with you. Once the worst situation occurs, you must ask Fox to come to me immediately, and I will find a way to deal with these things. .”

Jon and Nick looked at each other and had no objections to Dumbledore's arrangement.

Jon did not fall into blind confidence in his several achievements after going to sea. Even if he had just defeated Voldemort, he would definitely not get much benefit if he faced the elite Death Eaters head-on, especially in Without knowing how many people there are on the other side.

Of course, after Sir Stoker kept his promise and gave him the stone tablet that he had only absorbed a little more than half of the magic power and still had a lot of magic text left, as long as the magic power in the gem was kept sufficient, even if he finally encountered It's not a bad idea to fall in love with him.

"So how do we change the voyage?" Nick asked Dumbledore about this.

"As long as you erase the magic on the crystal ball, the automatic navigation of the entire ship will disappear. Jon, you should be able to do this easily. After that, you can first follow the navigation chart on the crystal ball. Determine the final destination and then choose the driving direction yourself, but this can only ensure your safety while driving. There is a high possibility that you will encounter dangers after you finally reach the destination. You will have to act according to the circumstances. If If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, please contact me immediately.”

Dumbledore had already arranged everything, and Jon naturally just had to do what he said.

After explaining these things, Dumbledore looked at Jon blinking and smiled.

"After we finish talking about the main time, we can talk about what has happened. So can you tell me what you have encountered these days?"

Naturally, Jon didn't hide anything about this. He started to tell the story of how they arrived at the high tower, until they met Sir Stoker later, to the discovery of the decryption tablet, and the final confrontation at the top of the tower. .

Dumbledore listened very carefully. When he heard that Sir Stoker was killed by a rocket launched from under the sea along with the tower, there was obvious regret in his eyes.

"He's a great guy."

Dumbledore said softly.

"But the Dark Lord buried his ideals and greatness of accommodating the magical world and all wizards for himself."

"If he applies to you and wants to come to Hogwarts to be a professor, will you agree to his application?" Jon asked.

Dumbledore didn't hesitate in his answer.

"That's for sure, Jon. Magical talent may attract the attention of most wizards, but Sir Stoker himself has ideas that most wizards don't have. Professors in magic schools must not only teach students magic , and more importantly, teach them the correct concepts about magic and the world.

This is something that the previous Hogwarts did not have. Ever since I lost Hogwarts Castle and went into exile, I have been thinking about whether magic education has not changed much since ancient times. Is this right? If it is wrong, what are we missing? I really want to improve in this area, but because of the turmoil of the current situation, there are always no suitable opportunities and candidates.

Sir Stoker is obviously a very suitable candidate. If he is willing to come to Hogwarts to teach, I have no reason to refuse. "

Jon said sadly.

"But Sir, he is already dead. I had a chance to save him, and his house elf also had a chance to save him, but he himself has chosen to give up his life completely."

Dumbledore sighed.

"What you have done is good enough Jon. This is his own choice. You said that he has never received any recognition for what he has done in his life, but in the end, didn't you praise his idea? This may be fate for him. Let’s make the final compensation.”

Finally Dumbledore talked about the contract.

"Luck is on our side. You broke that contract at just the right time. If it had been earlier, the Dark Lord probably wouldn't have faced me head-on. If it had been later, then I myself His life is about to be threatened.”
