A Day Trip to Azkaban

A large black ship drifted on the sea.

Dark clouds hung low in the sky, and not far away, a tornado shaped like a giant funnel swirled violently on the sea, tearing the dark clouds apart as it grew increasingly intense.

"Did you see that?"

"Inside the magic ship's cockpit, Hagrid asked loudly."

"No, we can't see anything. The storm is too big; we can't reach the shore," said a tall, dark-skinned wizard holding a telescope.

"Professor Karkaroff, could he have drowned?" a little girl speculated maliciously.

"Then can we change our principal?" a sixth-grade student asked.

If you're going to talk about that, then I'm no longer sleepy!

The students in the cabin became excited, whispering among themselves and fantasizing about their principal being swallowed by sharks and turned into a pile of excrement.

Clearly, everyone disliked Principal Karkaroff and wished him dead.

To have fallen to such a level of public outrage and resentment, it must be said, Karkaroff is truly a terrible principal.

In short: Durmstrang has suffered under Karkaroff for too long.

Fortunately, none of these people were speaking English, and Hagrid couldn't understand them. He staggered up to Class A and looked around anxiously.

We were supposed to leave today, why isn't Karkaroff here yet?

This is completely unreliable!

It wasn't that he was worried about Karkaroff's safety; what did Hagrid care whether the man lived or died? Besides, he didn't like this Death Eaters traitor.

But Maxime is still waiting on the Normandy coast of France.

What if I'm late?

Or should we let the students sail away first, leaving Karkaroff here?

A huge wave suddenly crashed over the ship, causing it to rock violently. Hagrid, gripping the railing, couldn't help but S.P.E.W..

He gets carsick, which is bad enough, but now he gets seasick too. It's really torturous!

Previously, the ship was anchored at the bottom of the sea, so even the impact of the waves had little effect. But now that it's back on the surface, it's incredibly uncomfortable.

Hagrid gazed at the distant tornado.

This terrible weather... it's outrageous!

I should have taken the land route from France to carry out the mission.

After thinking about it, he realized he couldn't wait any longer and had to go to the shore to find Karkaroff!

"Someone, open the door and get my precious treasure!"

Led by Krum, the three students laboriously pushed out a huge motorcycle.

Hagrid put on his goggles, straddled the motorcycle, and kicked the accelerator.

The car roared like a fire dragon, ran a few meters on the deck, and suddenly took off and flew into the sky.

Krum, standing in the corner, couldn't help but shout, "That's so cool!"

Clearly, motorcycles are the ultimate source of male charm.

In this respect, the flying broomstick is far inferior, even somewhat... effeminate.

Hagrid roared excitedly as he sped through the downpour, his hair blowing wildly behind him.

He brought this on purpose, intending to give Maxime a little romance when he went to search for the Giant.

The two of them rode a motorcycle together, wandering under the moonlight... It was wonderful.

However, the current target was Karkaroff, who circled twice and flew towards the shore.

Tremble, Karkaroff.

Coast

William and Hermione, holding telescopes, looked out at the sea.

The rain was pouring down, and with the waves crashing, you couldn't see anything.

Sirius walked over, looking worried, and said, "What should we do? The waves are too big; they probably can't get close."

The ship also has Anti-Apparition Charm, so you can't just go up directly.

Sirius was also quite annoyed; this move was truly a trap for both himself and others.

"Keep your expression cold, Sirius," William reminded him. "You're Karkaroff now; don't be overly concerned with your identity."

Sirius nodded and said, "I know, it won't go wrong."

Having Sirius play Karkaroff was indeed the only option among the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix.

Durmstrang Institute, in Scandinavian Peninsula.

That area contains the five Northern Europe countries: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland.

The main language spoken is also the Indo-European language family, specifically the North Germanic branch.

However, the majority of students come from Germany.

Therefore, the common language in the school is German.

There aren't many people in the Order of the Phoenix who speak German, Sirius happens to be one of them.

The reason is simple: he studied it specifically when he was a child.

Durmstrang has a bad reputation, mainly because he teaches Dark Magic.

But such schools are very attractive to Pure-blood families.

After Dumbledore headmaster, the Black family also considered sending their son to Durmstrang.

We specifically arranged for him to learn the language there.

Therefore, having Sirius impersonate Karkaroff seems like the best choice.

"What's that sound? Did you hear it, William?" Hermione suddenly shouted, raising her binoculars again.

"Look over there," she said, pointing to a spot.

William looked in that direction and saw a dark shadow pierce through the clouds, flying rapidly towards them.

"It's Hagrid... he's riding..."

"Hey, that's my motorcycle! I lent it to Hagrid to take him to Harry back then, and I can't believe it's still here!" Sirius exclaimed excitedly.

William and Hermione glanced at him simultaneously, Sirius immediately straightened his face, sneering, "Hmph, so it's Black's motorcycle. Pretty cool, huh?"

"..."

Hagrid noticed the flames erupting from this side, changed direction, and Accio towards the shore.

But the wind was too strong and the motorcycle was going too fast; with a loud bang, the entire vehicle crashed to the ground.

Hagrid jumped down, and the car slid sideways.

Sirius felt incredibly sorry for him.

"Hey, William, Hermione, what are you two doing here? Want to come together?" Hagrid ran over.

William nodded. "Yes, we're going to Vienna, it's on our way."

"Hagrid, where's the ship?" Hermione asked urgently.

"To the southeast of that tornado, come on, I'll take you both there."

Hagrid picked up the motorcycle, checked it, and found that the rear tire had blown out.

"But this motorcycle can't seat four people," William said.

"You two sit in the back and let Professor Karkaroff swim across," Hagrid said.

Sirius: "..."

William and Hermione were also sweating profusely.

Based on his performance the year before last, if Sirius swims like this, he might drift all the way across the ocean and end up in France again.

It's not surprising that Hagrid treated Karkaroff badly.

He didn't know that Karkaroff was Sirius in disguise.

This was a top-secret mission, and very few people knew about it, including Hagrid, the "walking leaker."

If he finds out, Harry might find out soon enough, and if Harry finds out, Voldemort might find out as well.

"How about this, you take Professor Karkaroff with you," William said after thinking for a moment.

"And what about you two?"

"I'll fly there with Hermione; you just need to lead the way."

As William spoke, he transformed into a giant sea eagle.

Hermione skillfully climbed onto the eagle's back, hugged William's head tightly, and hid herself under the thick feathers.

Hagrid had no choice but to take Karkaroff with him and lead the way.

A motorcycle cuts through the waves, while an eagle soars higher in the sky.

"Don't touch my motorcycle, or you'll break it!" Hagrid roared at Karkaroff.

Sirius accidentally broke off the taillight, leaving him speechless; the motorcycle was clearly his.

The eagle had excellent eyesight, and William flew in the direction Hagrid pointed, quickly spotting the large ship.

William flew over with Hermione and landed on Class A.

"It's Stark and Granger!"

Many Durmstrang students were excited to see the two of them.

William goes without saying; his fame is terrifying. They also know what the twenty-three Champion were all about.

After all, many people bought their spots from Stark.

Hermione is also very famous, especially since she was the champion of this Triwizard Tournament.

Therefore, while it was disappointing that Professor Karkaroff hadn't drowned, being able to share a boat with the two of them was an unexpected bonus.

Hagrid, having fallen behind Class A, had several Durmstrang students tow his motorcycle back to his room for repairs.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, William and Hermione immediately found Sirius and told him to change course.

"What? We're not going to France to pick up Madame Maxime?" Sirius asked in surprise.

William shook his head and smiled mysteriously, "It's not that I'm not going to France, but rather that I'll go to... Azkaban."
