He's looking for it in the Gryffindor common room.\" Hermione was eating buttered bread, with some crumbs on the corners of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She deliberately slowed her pace to wait for John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, at her normal speed, she'd already be on her way to class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John cut his fried egg and put it in his mouth. He helplessly said: \"Well, I think I know what to give Neville for Christmas - he needs a cage to properly keep Trevor in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the bread crumbs on Hermione's mouth, John pointed at his own mouth corners to indicate to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hermione reacted, her little face seemed to be painted with blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When John had almost finished eating, Neville finally came back from being lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fourth time Neville got lost, John felt he should give him a map or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sitting down, Neville took out his Remembrall, cluelessly looking at the red ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would turn red when one forgets something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Neville never knew what he had forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John looked him over and said: \"Neville, you may not get to eat breakfast this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Neville was dispirited, having just made it to the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking rather sympathetically at Neville, John held up two fingers: \"Two reasons. One is that class is about to start, and the other is that you need to go back to the dormitory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you forgot your robes.\" Hermione chimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville finally remembered what he had forgotten, and he didn't care about eating. He was anxious on the dazzling moving stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John came to the Transfiguration classroom. He was put in detention for fighting in the last Transfiguration class and didn't participate in it. This made him feel quite regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was quite interested in Transfiguration, but couldn't remember the specifics clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the classroom, the Slytherin green and Gryffindor red were distinct - he and Hermione sat separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in the magic world or outside, students forever shunned the front rows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining few spots were all in front - John walked over to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly a Tabby Cat appeared in his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cat just sat there on the podium, its facial markings very unique, like a pair of square glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a plush lover, John admitted that he was tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a cat in some plot, his body was one step faster than thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out the cat treat meant for Mrs. Norris from his pocket, John approached the tiger-striped cat with a smile, directly reaching out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this one action stunned not just the young witches and wizards of the two houses, but even the tabby cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here's a treat, want to try it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John couldn't believe himself - why did his tone sound like a shady uncle seducing a child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after his actions that he gained an eye of awe and admiration from various girls present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing things were getting out of hand, the tiger-striped cat broke free of his restraint, leaping down from the podium and transforming into an elderly female cat lady—*ehm*—Professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ehm, Mr. Wick, I think you should find a seat now instead of standing here like a log.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall maintained her image, and John finally understood where the cat's square markings came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John awkwardly withdrew his hand, now recalling the plot about this cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall's animagus form - a tabby cat with unique markings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sullenly returning to his seat, John felt he might develop a psychological shadow in his subconscious from this incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently swearing that in the future, he must check if it's an animagus before petting cats he sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party transformed into an oily uncle right after.... he'd be done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing muffled laughter, John looked back - upon making eye contact, the Slytherins immediately went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young Gryffindor witches and wizards gazed at him with awe, the savior Harry's mouth slightly agape, seeming to see for the first time someone even more reckless than himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione lowered her head, giggling, but her trembling brown curls betrayed her, shaking like a little lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this episode, the young witches and wizards revised their impression of John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this boy had a lovable side too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transfiguration class taught altering objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the button box, John attempted changing it into a mouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, the transformation was hard to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After multiple tries, John finally conjured the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only a first year, he succeeded before class ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the lifeless mouse before him, so different than Professor McGonagall's water goblet demonstration from before, John felt that he had underperformed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five points to Slytherin!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first to finish, Professor McGonagall awarded John points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What John thought was poor work was quite satisfactory to Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a beginner who missed one class, this was already very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to transfiguration's difficulty, even the know-it-all Miss Hermione didn't accomplish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After class ended, John had just left when Hermione hurriedly caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exerting her scholarly instincts persistently asking, Hermione was still sore about not finishing the transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John couldn't admit to having outside help, only saying he saw Professor McGonagall's demonstration when she had visited his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily the know-it-all didn't question for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corridor, John stared at the armor statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you looking at, John?\" Hermione stopped to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind John, an enchanted painting character also leaned over, equally curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John scratched his smooth chin, muttering to himself: \"This thing seems a good weight material.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his muttering, the oil painting lord opened his mouth wide - what kind of young wizard would think of weights?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John has always been a man who dares to take action. He set his eyes on the medieval armor, or more precisely, the sword in the armor's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the armor also made a good weight choice, its size was too big and unwieldy for movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the sword could be carried on his back and also used as exercise equipment when not running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take the sword tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gleam of plotting appeared in his eyes, worrying the lifeless Mr. Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the Gryffindor common room, Hermione's most frequent destination was the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bookworm had curiosity for all things, except Divination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was also dragged along, mainly to familiarize himself with the Restricted Section's location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, he started pretending to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The library had strict rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any noise disturbed the library, caretaker Irma Pince would let you know how powerful she is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, John saw Neville, who had eaten too many beans at noon, being chased and beaten by a broom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John felt sympathy for the books which were now dirty by food particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time came to the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning the trophy display room, John quietly came to the armor in the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor lifeless armor sir, he awoke the next day to find his sword missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time this became a mystery around Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Filch insisted stubbornly that it was the Weasley twins' doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if you like the chapters then please add the book to your reading lists ♥\u003C\u002Fp>",1465,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.053Z",1,"novelbin.me","de9193151a1190151f8c50b6a52a4181ec3d5f2d0eed7f0596686261771dfafb","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-11","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-9",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
