In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 257: Terrorist Organization

Fawkes didn't accompany Jon the whole time after he reached the deck.

A hidden place was specially arranged for him, after all, Hogwarts is now still disguised as Durmstrang's ship, and the Phoenix is too conspicuous in the magical world, the vast majority of wizards will associate the Phoenix with Dumbledore, not to mention Voldemort's men.

Jon's heart started to calm down, this group of wizards obviously didn't have good intentions, and even if they didn't see through their disguise, they didn't need a reason to attack them, Durmstrang's name is not completely safe-haven.

So after coming to the deck, Fawkes was asked to stay on alert at all times, to keep an eye on the gestures that Jon would give him, and once the situation turned bad, he would immediately go to Dumbledore, to bring him to their aid here.

The speed of the flying broom flying in the sky is obviously much faster than the ship sailing on the sea.

Those wizards in black robes were getting closer and closer to Jon and them, and Jon had long since turned into Johnson's appearance and waited.

He had George enter the cabin to suspend all classes and keep the students on alert in case the worst-case scenario happened later on when the students inside the cabin were not half-prepared.

Only Neville and Colin remained beside Jon, this lookout with some expectorant spots on his face looked a little nervous, but after seeing Jon whose expression remained unfazed by the current situation in front of them, his emotions were greatly lightened, he took a deep breath and became as relaxed as he could be.

At this point, Rabastan and his men had already flown to the ship's side and flew alongside Hogwarts.

Without any words of greeting, he first tried to directly drive the flying broomstick down to the deck, but just like Helgi and Heinz before, no matter what, he was unable to control the broomstick down as if there is a film that can not be destroyed enveloped the whole ship, which made them unable to enter.

Jon's originally bland face became noticeably colder than before.

"It's rude to barge in without the owner's permission, isn't it? Gentleman."

His gaze swept over Rabastan's face, while also looking at Helgi and Heinz, who were following behind them and with whom they had met only yesterday.

Helgi and Heinz looked at Jon's cold gaze as if nothing wrong had happened, they certainly had nothing to be ashamed of, their politeness yesterday was just a pretence, and now that they had an absolute advantage in numbers, there was no need for them to carry on acting like that.

For Jon's questioning, Rabastan appeared not to care in the slightest, and after failing to land directly on the deck after attempting to do so, he stared Jon right in the eye.

"Professor Spence Johnson? Did you extend this study trip that was originally scheduled to take place over Christmas break? It's already the start of the academic year, isn't it? Why haven't you returned yet?"

Jon squeezed the hand concealed behind his back without moving and extended his index finger in the direction where Fawkes is.

Fawkes got on his cue and in the next moment, disappeared from the ship without a sound.

"We are on our way back to the school, and even if we didn't choose to return, we could still begin teaching at sea, and what does this have to do with you." Jon's voice was icy as he asked, "Who are you guys? European Aurors?"

There was sarcasm in his words, and there was no semblance of timidity in the face of Rabastan's overwhelming numbers.

Not only did Rabastan not show the slightest look of annoyance on his face at this moniker, but he also said it with a smile.

"Perhaps it won't be long before we can truly become the European Auror. But for now, Mr Johnson, whether this is your real name or not, I suggest you immediately withdraw all protective magic on this ship and let us enter to search and be questioned, if we can confirm your identity and the purpose at sea, then all things are fine, after all, we and Durmstrang not yet had any head-on conflict, but if you want to try to resist. It is an attempt that can easily be regretted!"

The insanity and threat in his words were not disguised, and behind him, the twenty or so wizards in black robes had raised their wands in unison and aimed them at Hogwarts!

Even if they have seen a lot of big scenes, still being pointed at by so many brightly shining wands, caused Neville and Colin subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva.

At this time, George, who had settled the lower grades in the cabin, also came out, and he was followed by a dozen third, fourth and fifth graders.

They just came to the deck, then felt the weird atmosphere around them, and when they saw the wands aimed at them, they did not hesitate to pull out their own wands!

Jon at this moment has become an anomaly among everyone present, he did not try to pull out his wand, and his eyes never left Rabastan's eyes.

"Even if you guys didn't report your identity, with such an arrogant and cocky tone, no one can find a second group like you guys in the whole of Europe or the whole world."

He said indifferently.

"Your lord has just lost to Dumbledore, as his dogs you actually didn't know how to put your tail between your legs for a while and still dared to come out to bite and bark?"

Even though it was said in such a casual tone, it somehow caused an evil fire to rise in one's heart, making Rabastan's face become fierce.

In fact, he is simply unable to determine whether this ship, in the end, has any relationship with that person who ruined their lord's great plan at sea.

But the Lestrange brothers today would never let go of the slightest possibility of it being turned out to be accurate, and if that possibility turned out to be true, it is their own lives that are now on the line!!

That is why he brought so many people, he has determined that no matter what, he must search the bottom of this magic ship that is obviously from Durmstrang, and at the same time dig out the memories of the person in charge of this ship, to find out whether the people on board have anything to do with the person they are looking for!

As for finding the wrong person, and the ship just carrying an ordinary professor with students out on a study trip, who cares?

They are Death Eaters.

Before they seized Britain and France, they were recognized as a terrorist organization.

A terrorist organization kidnapping a magic school ship, what's wrong with that?

Even if they directly sink the ship and kill everyone on board, there is no problem!

The first time they met, Jon also found out that Rabastan and the group obviously came with the malice of never letting them go, which is why he gave a direct sign to Fawkes, asking him to go to Dumbledore immediately.

And now, he is going to stall for time.
