He opened a drawer filled with gleaming Galleons, making Rita mistakenly think John was going to bribe her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do something for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression under the silver mask was unclear, but Rita knew that if she dared to refuse, it would be more painful than going to Azkaban.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, theDaily Prophetfeatured a new \"Lucky Wizard Grand Prize,\" a contest sponsored by Silverhand Johnny's store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, reporter Rita Skeeter lavishly promoted her interview results in the newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Silverhand Johnny is a kind and approachable person who established the Little Wizards Foundation, specifically to provide free help to young wizards affected by curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a generous act was highly praised by many celebrities in the wizarding world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the real reason behind the popularity of Silverhand Johnny's store was the prize money. It was like a Chocolate Frog; every purchase of theDaily Prophetcame with a chance to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TheDaily Prophet's sales instantly increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lucky Wizard Grand Prize had three tiers: the first was the Galleon Prize, the second was the Sickle Prize, and the third was the Knut Prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the very first day of the promotion, a wizard won the Sickle Prize—seven hundred Sickles, which was a substantial amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lucky Wizard Grand Prize was a huge hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An owl carrying a newspaper flew towards the Burrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur Weasley picked up his subscription to the newspaper and noticed the Lucky Wizard Grand Prize scratch-off ticket attached to it. He scratched it off and glanced at it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cup fell onto the table, and the milk inside splashed all over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the noise, Molly ran out, ready to scold him, but then she saw Arthur Weasley staring blankly as he turned his head and said, \"...I won.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha.. Haha.. Hahahaha I really WON!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not understanding what her husband was talking about, Molly was startled by Arthur's sudden laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, who had just woken up and was holding Scabbers, was also startled by the laughter, causing Scabbers to wriggle free and run back to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George asked, \"Dad's gone mad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred replied, \"Maybe he's had too much Cheering Charm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weasley twins exchanged a glance, as if asking each other when they had played a prank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy had already started to get busy this year, campaigning for student body president, and his studies were also quite demanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all the kids were gathered, Mr. Weasley excitedly announced the good news he had received.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven hundred Galleons, by Merlin's beard!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molly covered her mouth in disbelief. The Weasley family had never had this much money before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to hug Mr. Weasley and give him a big kiss, but all the kids were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to use this money to go on a trip. What do you think about Egypt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After winning the prize, Arthur Weasley wanted to go on a vacation. It must be said that their family never had the habit of saving money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the family agreed with this decision. Even Percy, who hadn't relaxed his studies during the holidays, seemed a bit tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur Weasley suggested the trip mainly because he didn't want his third son to be too stressed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the most responsible child didn't mean he wasn't deserving of some care and attention after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the whole family in agreement, they began planning the trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the person who personally handed out this grand prize, Rita Skeeter didn't understand why such a generous reward had been given to the Weasley family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This prize was printed on a single ticket; it might as well have had the Weasley family's address written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Rita didn't dare to ask. She was now being blackmailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure she wouldn't spend the rest of her life in Azkaban, she had no choice but to listen to Johnny Silverhand's commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After winning the big prize, Arthur Weasley temporarily put aside his determination to take down the Malfoy family. A neat and complete family vacation was now the most important thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave the Malfoy family a moment to breathe. Lucius himself paid a visit to Johnny Silverhand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the eyes beneath the silver mask, he couldn't help but be a bit curious about the person behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lucius Malfoy, I am very pleased that you've come here,\" John said, seeing the father of his schoolmate, maintaining his enigmatic demeanor. He added meaningfully, \"Even if you are a Death Eater~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah..\" Lucius's pupils constricted, his usual arrogance immediately disappearing. He was inwardly shaken, looking at John as if he were a trap set by the Ministry of Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strained, unnatural smile stretched across his pale face as he pretended not to understand. \"I was indeed once controlled by the Imperius Curse from the Dark Lord, but that doesn't mean I am…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucius, there's no need to be afraid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John interrupted him as he walked toward Lucius, his footsteps neither too light nor too heavy, making sounds with each contact with the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius stood rigid, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his entire body unusually tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John moved closer to Lucius, grabbing his left hand. At that moment, Lucius had already raised his wand, but then he saw those mysterious eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't mind. In fact, I admire you,\" came a meaningful laugh from beneath the mask. Lucius felt as if all his secrets were laid bare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John glanced at the tightly gripped wand and chuckled softly. \"Relax, I won't tell anyone. On the contrary, I can give you everything—not because you're a Death Eater or due to the Ministry of Magic, but because of the Malfoy name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius's grip on his wand tightened and then loosened, repeating three times before he finally couldn't hold back anymore. With a hint of fear, he asked, \"What do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, John answered, \"A friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those simple two words seemed unreal to Lucius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Lord he followed had never uttered those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lucius's disbelief, John handed him the day's edition of theDailyProphet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arthur Weasley won't bother you for a while. That's my goodwill gesture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newspaper revealed that the Galleon Prize had been awarded, and Arthur Weasley's name was written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was deliberately done by Silverhand..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius, who had been tense, finally relaxed. He stared into John's eyes and asked, \"You want me to become your friend, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucius, as a Malfoy, you should understand the importance of friends better than anyone else. Friends are your second network, beyond bloodlines. We help each other. Just as I helped you today, you will help me tomorrow,\" John said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand over a candle, extinguishing its flame, and as he turned away, the candle relit. Extending his hand toward Lucius, John smiled and asked, \"Isn't that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius hesitated for a moment before grasping the younger man's hand firmly. In a low voice, he said, \"You're right, Lord Silverhand. The Malfoys are willing to be your friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connections between pure-blood families often involved intermarriage, binding each family to one another with a complex web of relations. These bloodlines were like the branches of a great tree, each relation a separate twig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, many of these branches had now withered. Of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, some were dead, some were broken; they were no longer as strong as they once were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new ruler of Knockturn Alley was willing to extend an olive branch. Lucius knew this was a tactic to draw him in, but he had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The position of the Hogwarts governor was too crucial; it was the best means for Lucius, a former Death Eater, to protect himself. Without returning to that position, he would become a thorn in the Ministry's side, and the Aurors would stop at nothing to add another blemish to his record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius agreed, but then, with some doubt, he asked, \"How do you plan to deal with the Dark artifacts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John gave a mysterious smile and softly replied, \"Do you know of a place, other than the Ministry, where one can legally possess Dark artifacts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lucius's puzzled expression, John raised his hand and waved it in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of small green text appeared in front of Lucius:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Vigilant Dark Arts Museum?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius was confused, but John explained that with this museum, even if you store the most dangerous items inside, the Ministry of Magic won't bother you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like how digging without a permit is called grave robbing, but with a permit, it's called archaeology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John had already applied to the Ministry of Magic for this Vigilant Dark Arts Museum. His reasoning was sound: people needed to understand the dangers of Dark artifacts. You couldn't expect everyone to know what Dark artifacts looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, there was a real need for this museum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dangerous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, should the Museum not have dangerous artifacts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, you're mistaken~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could people understand the severity of these dangers if the items weren't dangerous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what would be exhibited, well, that would be under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an item or two went missing, who would say anything? You could claim it was stolen, or say the artifact was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a good thing, and it would add another achievement to the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the Ministry had no reason to refuse. The newspapers would report on this, praising Lord Silverhand as a kind and great wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, with Lord Silverhand leading the initiative, the first museum in the magical world was officially in the planning stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chapters ahead at my Patreon!~\u003C\u002Fp>",1691,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","5861e6a7aabe592cc032b57156a5bfe0f21f6e0002a5aa556901e7882169f648","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-251","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-99",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
