In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 285: Bear's Paw

Norm Greengrass is not very keen on being a Death Eater.

The reason why he joined the ranks of Death Eater was just to display the Greengrass family's allegiance to Voldemort as a sign of support.

Noam, who comes from a pureblood family, does not care much about the so-called bloodline theory, nor does he care about power and wealth, and his ambition from childhood to adulthood has not changed, which is to travel around the world to try all varieties of food.

Yes, he is just a simple foodie.

But born in such a family, he has no right to make a choice, since he has grown up enjoying the Greengrass family's luxurious lifestyle, he must make his own contribution to the family as an adult, just as his aunt assumed the role of the half-blood head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

However, the Greengrass family is still more liberal than other pureblood families, they know that Norm's interest does not rest there, so they gave him a promise that as long as he stays as a Death Eater for three to five years, after that period has passed, he can resign from his position and do what he really wants to do.

Noam accepted this gladly, to have such an agreement already let him satisfied enough.

After joining the Death Eaters, he and his colleagues didn't have much common interest, so he didn't hang out with them in his free time, and he still thought about how to eat a delicious meal every day, even after being transferred to the North Pole.

"It's absolutely delicious, I read it in a muggle cookbook earlier, so don't think this trip isn't worth it, I promise you won't regret it."

Norm urged Hanks, if those bears weren't so hard to catch, he wouldn't have partnered with another Death Eater to catch them with him.

Hanks actually was not that interested in food, but the night patrol made him hungry, the Ministry of Magic provided them with dry food which is not that bad, but after continuously eating them for so many days, even the most delicious things will become tiring to eat.

So after hearing Noam's passionate narrative, he decided to come together on this trip, a change of flavour to beat the taste buds.

In a frosty wind and snow, the two men together held two wands with dim fluorescent light close to the polar bears named "White Two Type I" and "White Two Type II" by Gabriella after Jon suggested for her to name them.

"These bears are too wary. You go around and encircle them with me from the opposite side. Don't use a killing curse, it will spoil the taste, just use a blasting curse and make sure you can just blow them up. We will only eat bear paws anyway."

Norm whispered orders to Hanks, what he didn't notice was that just in front of him on the snow mound, six eyes were hiding behind the cloak of invisibility, watching them silently.

Jon heard what they were talking to each other, and it was only at this time that he realized what these two men are doing over here in the middle of the night.

They did not notice anything wrong, but simply wanted to eat roasted bear paws!

To be honest, it was Jon's bad luck, there are so many polar bears in the Arctic Ocean, but Noam took a fancy to the two that pulled the Sledge for them.

But regardless of whether to attribute this to luck, Jon felt that the two Death Eaters hunting bears in the middle of the night is a bit of an oddity.

Not only Jon, but Gabrielle also heard the conversation between the two Death Eaters, she did not dare to make a sound at this time, just turned her head to look at Jon pitifully.

It is the only two "pets" she got after coming to the North Pole, so of course she won't want to let others blow them up and bake their paws to eat.

Jon just winked at her, indicating that she should not act rashly, and Jon also has no intention of sneaking up on them.

The two Death Eaters have planned to sneak attack the bear from two separate points, although they are separated, they are not far apart, and they always held the wand in their hands, maintaining a state of alert, so if Jon initiates a sneak attack, he can, of course, take down one of them 100%, but there is no way to guarantee that the other one will also be left behind.

If another Death Eater escaped successfully, and the news that Jon had come to the North Pole would also be brought back, then his next steps will be difficult if he wants to continue to move forward.

So Jon did not act recklessly, of course, this does not mean that he will give up the two bears who have done a great service for them.

Or rather, these two bears simply didn't need their help to be rescued.

Soon, the two polar bears' actions also confirmed Jon's thoughts.

When Nick woke Jon up, the two polar bears had also woken up with him.

But they didn't show any other movements, still lying on the ice looking asleep.

And when Norm and Hanks had completed their encirclement and were about to attack them, the two polar bears got up from the ground with a "dawdle"!

The expression on Norm's face was frozen for a second, and then he immediately reacted.

"Confringo!"

The fiery light exploded in the direction his wand was pointing, but the two bears' reaction was more sensitive than anyone else's!

They ran and slid on the ice, very easily escaped the range of Noam's blasting curse, and then very tacitly separated and ran wildly in different directions.

"What are you staring blankly at!"

Noam looked a little exasperated and shouted, which woke up Hanks, they did not give up easily and ran together in the direction where one of the bears had fled like they intended to eat the feast tonight no matter what.

When they were completely out of sight, Jon lifted the cloak of invisibility off their bodies and looked at the wrecked ice surface.

The aftermath of Noam's blasting curse had unfortunately tipped up the corner of the sledge that was originally blanketed with an invisibility cloak, so if they hadn't gone after the bear and stayed in place, they would have been able to spot the anomaly.

"Are they going to be okay?" Gabrielle asked, still worried.

Jon at this moment is full of confidence in the two bears, through yesterday's and today's performance, he has determined that these two polar bears are by no means ordinary domesticated animals, they not only have far higher intelligence than more than half of the animals but also in terms of physical qualities they are far beyond the normal polar bears.

"Don't worry about them, they'll be fine. Instead of worrying about them, we should worry about how we are going to travel the next part of the journey on our own."

Jon pulled out the map in the dark and then used the Wand-Lighting Charm.

"Whether this is because of our bad luck or those two eaters have other purposes, we certainly can not count on the two bears to return, so the road after this can only be walked by ourselves."

Relying on human foot power to walk a hundred miles in this world of ice and snow; if an ordinary person tries to do that, then it would be considered a kind of suicide.

In the absence of intermediate supply points, no one can walk so far, let alone in the Arctic.

But for Jon, this may be a little difficult, but definitely not an impossible thing.
