Although there were only ten students heading to Demstrand, the shore was crowded with little wizards who had come to see them off and watch the fun.
The big brown wooden ship that was docked at the shore was very majestic. Its huge curved poop was like the tail of a whale, and there was a huge bowsprit at the bow. There were several horizontal sails on the foremast and midmast, and a jib sail on the mizzen mast. It looked very majestic.
From the side, the hull looked like a round U shape. When Allen and the others entered, they found that the deep hull could hold much more space than they could see. The space and luxury of the hull was no less than the hall in Hogwarts Castle.
The ship had many levels of cabins. Apart from the hall below the deck and the storage room at the bottom, the students' rooms were arranged in the luxuriously decorated poop that overlooked the surrounding scenery. On the top floor of the poop was the captain's cabin, the cockpit, the rudder, and other control equipment. Behind the cockpit was an observation deck that could observe the situation on the sea behind the ship.
His name was Bailey Cosby, and his voice was full of pride for Durmstrang as he introduced the various rooms to the young wizards, who were eagerly showing them around the ship.
"You'll find this trip worthwhile because we're not going back to Demstrand directly. Instead, we're taking you on a tour of the North Sea." The smile on Cosby's dark face infected the little wizards in Hogwarts, and they couldn't help but look forward to the following journey.
Allen twirled the wand in his sleeve. He felt that Demstrand's arrangement was not to return directly to the school, but to take a detour on the North Sea instead.
However, he learned from Cosby's telepathic thoughts that this route was not set by Cosby. He was only following the arrangements of his superior and arranged the itinerary according to his superior's instructions.
It was not convenient for Allen to search everyone, so he turned his head and said a few words to Wolf Mother Ramona. Then, he went into the poop with the others and asked Malfoy to tell the students not to act alone.
The engine roared, and Cosby turned the wheel. Demstrand's ship suddenly sank to the bottom of the black lake. The passengers could see the scenery at the bottom of the black lake. Curious mermaids with tridents hid behind the green seaweed to peek at the huge ship. It was as if there was an invisible cover covering the ship, preventing water from entering the cabin. The people in the cabin were not wet, and they did not feel any difficulty breathing.
The black lake did not join any river or sea. After a while, a huge circular ripple appeared not far from the bow of the ship. The ship sailed into the ripple and was transported to a place where no land could be seen. Demstrand's ship broke through the waves and sped on the sparkling surface of the sea.
Suddenly, a table flew over on the top deck, and all kinds of delicious food prepared for the little wizards appeared on it. Cosby greeted everyone and said that there was no need to pay too much attention to etiquette at sea. He took the lead and sat down to eat.
Allen and Luna leaned against the side of the ship. Perhaps it was because of magic, they did not feel any bumps at all. A rush of water swept past the guardrail.
Luna looked at the endless sea and turned to Allen. "Allen, can you let Lessie out for a while and let her see the sea?"
Thinking of the purpose of this trip to Demstrand, Allen felt that it was a good time to keep a high profile. Besides, they were not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. It was considered the high seas of the wizarding world, so he nodded to Luna.
Luna picked up her waist bag and opened the eagle-shaped cover. She aimed the cover at the sea and let out Lessie. Lessie flapped her wings and flew high, letting out a deep dragon roar. Under the fearful eyes of the other wizards, Lessie circled around the ship and flew past Luna, whose hair was fluttering because of the sea breeze, and passed between two tall ropes.
Cosby took three deep breaths and stood up. He crossed his arms, as if this could increase his courage, and took a step in the direction of Luna.
Holding a glass of white wine, the long-eyed Vladimir touched his bald head and stopped Cosby. He grinned at him and said, "Don't worry, this dragon has a full set of legal breeding permits in the British dragon farm. It's not illegal to raise a dragon privately. Now that this land is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense, let it fly freely. I promise that I will ask Miss Lovegood to keep it before we enter Demstrand. Come, let's have a drink together."
Cosby looked at the dark red baby dragon with smooth gray lines on its body. He shuddered and lost the courage to continue asking. He sat down with Vladimir and told the others not to be nervous.
Allen, who had sensed Cosby's thoughts, smiled. Lessie, a purebred dragon, was different from the Fire Dragons in the competition. If the ordinary Fire Dragons were said to be terrifying because of their aura and size, Lessie, a purebred dragon, had a unique ability called Draconic Aura. Within a certain range, if one did not have a strong will, he would be frightened to the point of being unable to move. Lessie was still too young to fully utilize this ability.
At this time, Lessie, who was flying high in the sky, suddenly dived into the water. The next second, she swayed her tail gently and came out of the water with a big fish in her mouth.
Lessie flapped her wings and flew to a position parallel to Luna's line of sight. She shook her head gently and the fish flew above her head. Lessie raised her head and a red flame came out of her mouth. The roasted fish fell into her mouth when it fell.
She shook her head and held the roasted fish in her mouth and flew towards Luna.
Luna shook her head and patted Lessie. Lessie swallowed the fish and turned around to fly high in the sky.
Lessie's figure slowly disappeared in front of the little wizards and became a small red dot following the big ship in the blue sea.
The little wizards finally returned to their normal state of mind. They talked about the red dragon with lingering fear and began to enjoy the delicious food in front of them.
Cosby finished the last piece of dill pickled salmon. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and began to boast to the little wizards, "I'll tell you the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. But you may not believe it. "
He chuckled, "Even I don't know if I believe it or not. In the North Sea, there are many pirate ships, but there is a sunken pirate ship that is particularly legendary. Although its captain was a dumb cannon, he and his ship were famous in the Muggle and wizard world."
Seeing that the little wizards were listening attentively and did not look surprised, Cosby continued, "The sunken ship is called the 'Black Pearl'. It was originally a trading ship under the East India Trading Company in the British Muggle world. A captain named Jack was ordered to transport a batch of goods from Africa. But Jack found out that the so-called 'goods' were actually African slaves. Out of a sense of justice, Jack released all of them and worked as pirates in the Caribbean. "
Cosby saw that the little wizards' emotions were finally stirred up. He smiled with satisfaction, "It is said that the ship sank in the early eighteenth century," he said, "At that time, they were being chased by the undead. They sailed all the way from America to the North Sea, and finally perished together with the undead here."
He noticed that Allen and the blonde girl with the dragon were looking at him. Cosby continued, "For hundreds of years, both the Muggle and the wizards have been searching for this pirate ship. It is said that their captain, Jack, found the legendary Fountain of Youth hidden in the Bimini Islands." He took a long sip of white wine, "I heard from the people in the school that The Dark Lord Gatler Grindelwald and this Captain Jack are more or less related."
"That's so cool!" Malfoy was so excited that he could not hold himself back.
At that moment, the hull shook violently and stopped moving forward. The remaining white wine in his hand splashed on Cosby's face.
"Captain, the bottom of the ship seems to have hit a reef. We are stuck." A crew member on the observation deck shouted.
