Chapter 237 The Tilting Tower

"Where's Hermione and Luna?"

Seeing only Neville and the two boys here, Jon frowned.

Using Lee's transfiguration, pretending to be a sheep in the pasture, along with those black cats' entanglement for a long time made Neville and the group exhausted and panting.

They continued to run with Jon in the direction of the first floor, while Neville spoke.

"Hermione. They two and we got separated! But they must be downstairs ... some of these cats chased them downstairs."

His words did not reassure Jon, but a feeling of foreboding rose even more in his heart.

Without saying anything more, they continued to run downstairs, Neville and co. of course have no way to use the levitation charm to fly up, but the good thing is that there are no more than a few floors left.

Jon didn't try to fly in front this time, to avoid any further accidents by letting Neville and co out of his sight, and went to the ground floor together with them quickly.

On the way they did not find Hermione and Luna, there was no response to shouting.

And after seeing the empty and messy foyer on the ground floor, all of their faces became grim.

Jon was the first to break the silence, the tower shaking more and more seriously, they are not even able to stand firm on their feet, and may fall to the ground at any time.

"You guys go out first, I'll try to find them. It's too dangerous here, something could go wrong at any time!"

Neville and the boys all had ashamed expressions on their faces, Jon was not with them, and they could not even protect the two girls, which made them feel ashamed.

As for Jon's arrangement, none of them had any objection. All three knew very well that their continued stay here would not only provide little help to Jon but would also bring him more trouble.

However, when Neville and the boys reached out together to push the door, the two doors didn't budge.

"The doors are not opening!" Ron shouted.

At this time, the ceiling chandelier is shaking, there have been fine stones falling from above, as thin spider web-like cracks began to spread along the four sides!

Jon gritted his teeth, suppressing the almost fearful worry in his heart, brushed past Ron and Neville, and stood in front of the door while the spell still remained on his body!

"Bam" a loud sound heard as if something invisible was broken, and then the two doors were opened without resistance!

The wet and salty sea breeze came in front of them and there was the huge Hogwarts ship right before their eyes.

The sea is no longer as calm as it used to be, there seems to be some kind of horrible beast churning up the water under the sea! The rising waves kept slapping the platform in front of the high tower, and the white waves appeared as if they were pouring down in front of Neville's eyes!

George and others who were watching the situation of the high tower on the ship at all times noticed the strange movement of the nearby sea at the beginning. Hence, they long ago brought the diving board up to the front of the tower, and when they saw the high tower shaking violently and the door opening with a bang, they waved their hands at Jon and them excitedly.

"Quickly! Hurry up! This tower is going to collapse!"

Jon reached out and pushed Neville and the boys toward the diving board, but he turned around and prepared to return to the tower.

"Get back to the ship! Tell George to sail the ship far away from this tower immediately, it must be far away!"

"You want to go back to Hermione and the girls?"

Jon said with immense seriousness.

"I promised Professor Dumbledore that I would not let this ship be without one person, and if it had to be one less, it would only be in my absence."

Ron, Neville and Lee stood on the diving board, staring blankly at Jon.

But just as the next wave slammed up and exploded around them, a voice, muffled by the sea breeze and only faintly audible, suddenly came from the far side of the ocean!

"Over here. We're here."

Jon, who had already retreated to the door, stopped abruptly, his body floating upward and soon floating up.

On the other side of the tower, he saw Hermione, who was swimming in the direction of the Hogwarts ship in the sea clutching Luna's arm and struggling desperately!

He had a look of surprise on his face and finally emphasized to Neville once more.

"Get back to the ship! I'm going to save them!"

He flew up and dashed in the direction where Hermione and the girls were, and soon came above the two girls.

Luna did not look like she was in very good shape, her face was blue, and her eyes were tightly closed, but there was obviously the rise and fall of breathing.

Jon used the magic stored on the gem to increase the strength of the levitation charm applied to himself.

Then he took Hermione in one hand and the unconscious Luna in the other, and scooped them up from the raging waters.

The good thing is that the weight of the two girls is very light, and Jon did not feel the difficulty of flying along with the aid of the levitation charm, and soon he took them back to Hogwarts.

George has been watching Jon's movements, after seeing him land on the ship, he immediately swung the sledgehammer in his hand, and a hammer knocked away the wooden sticks stuck on the side of the ship!

The set course of the ship began to start revolving on its own, the Hogwarts immediately deviated, passing the high tower that had clearly begun to tilt, heading in the direction of the north.

And just as Jon put Hermione and Luna down and took a breather, suddenly someone pointed in the direction of the top of the tower and exclaimed.

In the dark night sky, the top of the tower shimmered with a faint light, before the light, there is a small ant-like figure, throwing a piece of something from the tower.

The piece of stuff flew down, Jon had a strange feeling and raised his wand, and when it was about to fall into the sea, he aimed at it and used the levitation charm.

The next second, it was steadily suspended in mid-air not far from Jon, it is a stone slab, and there is a small part of the stone surface shimmering with the magic rune glow.

Jon reached out and took the slate, and there was a note attached to it, with a beautiful line of English written on it.

[This is what I had promised to give you]

Jon looked at the slate, with a silent expression, and then he raised his head to look at the top of the tower that had tilted almost more than thirty degrees of angle.

There is a human silhouette there, standing over there and waving his hand in the direction they are sailing.

An inexplicable feeling of sadness rose from Jon's heart.

He knew that if he wanted to, Sir Stoker could easily escape from this tower without even having to face his coercion and questioning, that Rabier could take him anywhere he wanted to go.

But obviously, his choice at the moment is to die rather than leave this tower that carries his dreams and beliefs.

Under the dark clouds, above the waves.

Tobia Stoker calmly watched the large ship gradually disappearing, his gaze shifted from the sea to the sky above his head and he said softly.

"Following a master like me, you must be quite disappointed, right, Rabier."

Rabier, as he always did for countless days and nights, stood respectfully right behind the old Sir, and he shook his head and said.

"Master is the greatest person in this world, Rabier is forever proud to be the master's house elf!"
