In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 252: The Lestrange Brothers

After the two wizards left, Jon didn't relax as much as Neville and the others did.

"Don't go straight ahead, deviate immediately and go close to the Norwegian coast."

To this Ron asked suspiciously.

"Something wrong with these two?"

Jon did not explain much, he just calmly said.

"No matter how normal they appeared to be, two Scottish wizards riding a flying broom on this sea, that's a big problem as it is. In any case, let's stay close to the coast for now, just in case."

Jon is well aware that their situation today is very different from their two experiences in Azkaban and the High Tower.

Before it was them in the dark, and Voldemort's arrangements were in the light, which gave them plenty of time and a fairly safe environment to solve some problems.

But now what they did at sea has been exposed, it will be completely different, Voldemort will certainly send sufficient manpower to search for their whereabouts, and ultimately whether it is out of revenge or not wanting them to continue to look for his purpose at sea, he will certainly choose to catch them all together, or even kill them on the spot.

It is a very critical situation for Jon and them, otherwise, Dumbledore would not have been so careful and left Fawkes with them.

Because, if Fawkes stayed in France, it would have helped the wizards of the Witching Horizons.

Even if the others felt that the two wizards did not exhibit any unusual behaviour, they still carried out Jon's order faithfully. They had been sailing along the area close to the Norwegian coastline according to Dumbledore's advice, and now as long as the direction of sail was turned to the east, it would only take about two days at most to reach the northernmost harbour in Norway.

...

Rodolphus Lestrange and Rabastan Lestrange, two brothers, received orders from Voldemort to take a small squad of four Death Eaters out to sea on the day when Jon and the others first entered Sir Stoker's High Tower.

Because they had never come to the sea, they were not able to use the Apparition directly to quickly explore all the places that Voldemort told them to go.

On the same day that the tower was blown up and Jon and the others escaped from there, the two Lestrange brothers arrived with their men at Azkaban.

The Dementor leader, who had withheld all information related to the mistake he had made, personally showed them the way and took them to the underground chamber that Voldemort had used to hide the diary.

There they did not get any useful information, when breaking into Azkaban Castle, Jon and Fred both disguised as two Aurors, with these, it is not possible to distinguish their identity.

However, these dementors nevertheless provided the two Lestrange with information that sounded somewhat unbelievable.

"That person summoned two Patronus?"

Rodolphus frowned tightly and looked at the dementor leader with an expression similar to hearing that someone had been hit by the Killing Curse but survived.

His brother Rabastan also raised his voice in disbelief and emphasized.

"Are you sure it was one person who summoned two Patronus? Instead of the other one actually came over from somewhere else?"

Patronus is not necessarily required to follow their master after being summoned, and with Dumbledore developing it, many wizards within the Order of the Phoenix are using some advanced applications of Patronus.

This includes but isn't limited to, having them help deliver messages, take charge of vigilance, or even conduct support for coordinated combat.

These are not like Snape's creation Invisible Sword: Sectumsempra, which can be learned by anyone as long as they know the incantation and the method of casting it.

People with dark and tyrannical hearts have no way of summoning such things as Patronus, which led to Voldemort's men, almost all of them have no way of stealing this skill, after all, they can't even summon the most basic Patronus.

But even if they have not eaten pork, they have certainly seen a pig run, there's no history of a person summoning two Patronus, and although they are unclear about whether someone can do it, there is absolutely no record of it in the officially recognized history of magic!

That's why the reaction of the two Lestrange brothers was so great.

It is also because of this, no matter how the dementor leader is sure that one person summoned two Patronus, and claimed that another ghost or person can't summon it without them knowing, the Lestrange brothers have remained sceptical.

They suspected that at that time, there might be someone in a stealthy state next to that person and was not detected by the dementors, which led to the illusion that the two Patronus were actually summoned together, making the dementors believe that one person had summoned two.

Of course, if it is true, this can be said to be a very important clue, after all, the ability to summon two Patronus is unique, so they just have to identify the person who can summon two Patronus, this can help them to identify that person easily.

It can also be argued that this clue is completely irrelevant, because in the general concept of wizards, the Patronus Charm, although powerful, is only very effective against some dark creatures, and in a normal wizard duel, this spell does not play as critical and effective role as other spells.

However, after learning about Nick's appearance from the Dementors, they quickly confirmed the judgment of the Aurors who had come to Azkaban Island before, that the ghost is precisely the resident ghost of Hogwarts Castle.

Afterwards, they got on their flying brooms and continued to search around the area that Voldemort had marked out for them, and because they couldn't use Apparition, they had to ride their brooms and keep flying on the sea.

The Death Eaters carried out a two-shift program, dividing into two groups of personnel, one constantly flying on the sea toward the target, and the other taking a break in Britain, waiting until the shift change time, then the Death Eaters on the sea would apparate to Britain and bring the ones who had taken a break back to the point they had previously flown to continue their journey to the target.

Although Jon and co. travelling on Hogwarts, which could sail around the clock without using human power, but flying is always faster than on the sea, plus they stayed on the tower for three or four days, so on the fourth day Jon and co. left the tower, the Lestrange brothers and the gang found the sea where the tower was located.

But the tower has collapsed, and even if there are still traces of magic on this sea, they can't find the building and an old man named Stoker that Voldemort asked them to find.

Something has gone terribly wrong!

That's the first thought that rose in the minds of the two Lestrange brothers, and then, as expected, when they were about to capture merpeople to ask what had happened there.

A Howler from Voldemort reached their ears.
