In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 209

  Chapter 209 207. Durmstrang's school trip (false)

   After all, Justin did not reverse the situation in the afternoon and win the championship again, but he finally surpassed Ron in the final result and won the third place, while Ron ranked fourth.

  The champion of this fishing competition was actually a second-grade girl—Luna Lovegood.

  She had never caught a fish before, and this time she participated in the competition purely by accompanying Ginny in the dormitory. Even the fishing rod was conjured by Ginny begging Fred for help.

   It may be because of the novice protection period, or it may be just because of her good luck, she finally won the second Hogwarts fishing competition.

   As roommates, Ginny and Gabriel were much happier than Luna, as if they had won an award.

  In the end, all the fish caught in today's competition became the students' dinner tonight.

   Just after dinner that night, Jon called George and Neville to climb up the mast together.

   "Look at this pattern."

  He took out a piece of parchment, which depicted a coat of arms composed of a two-headed bird and a deer head, with Cyrillic letters.

   "We're going to change all the sails and everything with the Hogwarts crest into this."

Both Neville and George came from pure-blood families. Even after the age of 11, they were managed and studied in a closed Hogwarts carriage like everyone else, but they can all recognize what this badge is .

   "This is Durmstrang's school badge?"

  Jon nodded.

"That's right, this is the insurance plan that Professor Dumbledore prepared for us. It is impossible for the things we did in Azkaban not to reach the ears of the Dark Lord. He must know who is looking for him back then. We have come a long way, so we have to make the necessary disguise, especially when we are going to visit a wizard who is ambiguous about which side he is leaning on next."

"A week ago, the Durmstrang School of Magic did send a magic ship out to sea openly, saying that it was going to go on a school trip, but in fact, the ship returned to the school immediately after it went out to sea, and we are now The identity to be assumed is the Durmstrang school ship."

  George asked in surprise.

"How did Professor Dumbledore know someone from Durmstrang? The reputation of that school is the worst among the three magic schools in Europe, although in recent years this reputation has gradually turned to Hogwarts Castle, But they've always had a history of studying the Dark Arts."

  Jon can of course guess some inside information about this. He has not forgotten whose alma mater Durmstrang used to be, although that person was expelled halfway.

   "It doesn't matter whether it has studied black magic or not, now we can use its name to swagger in the sea, we have to accept the favor of others."

   As he spoke, he waved his wand and aimed at the Hogwarts school badge on the long sail. In the next second, the school badge with four animals surrounding the "H" turned into a two-headed bird and a deer head.

"Professor Dumbledore also packed and sent some hair, which belonged to the current Professor of Transfiguration in Durmstrang. After tonight, I will always pretend to be him. Your clothes are also different. It needs to be noted that every day, this matter must be announced to all the students on board."

   Neville said with some worry.

   "Appearance and clothing are easy to solve, but what about our language? Durmstrang was established in Northern Europe, so there should not be many students who use English as their main language?"

"This is indeed the most difficult problem." Jon obviously thought about it, "But we must not let everyone on the boat go down, and we can select some students who can speak other languages ​​to visit the tower. Even if someone ends up If the problem is found, we can kill most of the students who go to sea, most of them are Dutch students."

Except for the UK and Ireland where English is their mother tongue, other countries in Europe have their own main language. However, English is still used as a common language by many people and it is used as their first language. Among them, the Netherlands has the highest penetration rate. Seventy percent of Dutch people speak English.

Of course, even in English, there are differences in accents in different countries and regions, but Jon can't be so meticulous. At least the professor status that Dumbledore arranged for him is an Englishman, which can be regarded as making up for the biggest loophole. .

  They spent some time changing the badges and decorations on the entire Hogwarts ship, and they kept busy until around 11 o'clock before going back to rest.

  Early the next morning, which was also a weekend, Jon called all the students to the restaurant, and explained in advance the identities they would play and the things they could encounter.

   And in front of them, drank the compound potion and turned into a middle-aged wizard with a big beard and a tall and rough figure.

"Professor Johnson, this is what you will call me in the next few days. From now on, there will be no name Jon Green on board. You should also pay attention to yourself. It is best to think of a Dutch surname for yourself. When it is used, students who only speak English claim to be Dutch."

   "Also, all students who are proficient in a second language besides English come to me to report."

  Jon assigned the task, and giving himself a Dutch surname made the students feel quite novel, especially after someone knowledgeable gave them various weird surnames of Dutch people.

  As for the students who can speak foreign languages, there are quite a few.

   There are more than a dozen students who come to Jon to sign up. These people either have one of their parents from another country, or they lived abroad for a long time when they were young, and they have mastered a foreign language under their influence.

For example, Hermione knows some simple French. Her parents promised her that she would take her to travel to France when she was in middle school. Out of preparation and interest, Hermione taught herself some common French sentences in elementary school. .

And Luna, because her father used to be the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler" (this newspaper had a hard time maintaining it for a period of time in the early days of Voldemort's rule, but it was later declared to be in violation of the "Blood Propaganda Act", from the person in charge to the editor-in-chief and then until the reporter was either caught in Azkaban or became a wanted criminal), out of news mining, she has dabbled in the languages ​​of countries around the UK, and Luna herself is relatively proficient in Spanish.

  And the best friend of the Weasley twins at the same level-Lee Jordan, he is a black boy, his father has lived in Germany for a while, so he can speak a little German.

   It is definitely impossible to bring the entire ship of students to visit that high tower. He can choose some of them who can speak foreign languages ​​and are smarter, and bring them to the door together.
