I thought I was dreaming, you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron spoke like an old-fashioned storyteller, and the young wizards around him couldn't help but feel a thrill of suspense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But then this cold wind hit me, and I woke up, and one side of my bed curtains had been ripped off…\" He was going into great detail when suddenly someone shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, there's a dog doing a handstand outside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, all the young wizards rushed out to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tom, the beagle, was balancing on her front paws, looking forlorn in the corner, his cute appearance making some of the girls want to go over and help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they glanced at the Slytherin student standing nearby with a frosty look on his face, they didn't quite have the courage to step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weasley twins came over, looking stunned. \"Blimey, is that John?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He loves that dog. What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the school's most well-known dog lover, John was actually punishing Tom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins thought this was even scarier than hearing Filch had fallen in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even speculated that this John might actually be someone else in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those with this theory was Malfoy, who didn't hesitate to step up and \"rescue\" his friend's dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy, clutching his bruised eye, snapped at Goyle and Crabbe, \"You both knew he was real, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two quickly shook their heads, and Goyle, unable to hold it in, burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy pulled out his wand, which sent Goyle sprinting away in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne hurried over, taking in John's intimidating expression and asking with concern for Tom, \"What's going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on? Huh.\" With a cold smirk, John looked unmoved by Tom's pleading, nearly tearful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dog had actually stolen his spare wand and given it to Sirius Black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should've figured—ever since Fang started coming around begging for extra treats, he should've known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tom here had another dog on the side. And not just any dog—a wanted criminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't plead for it,\" John said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His rare sternness made Daphne stop in her tracks, exchanging a bewildered look with Pansy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pansy: \"Did you feed him something strange?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne: \"Nope, I haven't even tried out the strawberry mapo tofu recipe from the Ice Creame shop yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick exchange of looks between them made it clear they were both thinking the same thing. If it wasn't something he ate, then what could've made John so angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea that John was still sore about getting bitten by the Black Dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Crookshanks hadn't been hiding out in Gryffindor, there would probably be a cat doing handstands here as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John shifted his foot, a twitch at the corner of his mouth betraying the sharp pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, that fucker really bit hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If John weren't as tough as he was, that bite might've taken a chunk out of his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Tom to do the handstand until the end of class, John turned, a flash of annoyance in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time he'd looked this rough was after being chased by those spiders in the web-filled forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that look on his face, no one dared to approach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, still a bit sour about losing the spotlight, muttered as he glanced over at John, \"Do you think he found out about what we were doing this morning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was referring to the room he went to in the morning. Harry, eyeing John carefully, said, \"No way—he didn't come over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking with a bit of a limp to class, John headed to the infirmary to get his leg treated after it was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 100 Galleons, his leg was completely healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coin spell had simply activated, and the healing magic restored his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John rubbed the spot of his former injury, now showing no trace of harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price was still absurdly high, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John couldn't help but wonder if goblin magic had middlemen driving up the costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a spring in his step, he headed back to the edge of the Forbidden Forest from last night, staring at the tree he'd shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems he held back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John recalled the battle from the night before—Sirius hadn't used any offensive spells on him. Instead, he'd chosen spells to restrain and disarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That final bite might have just been a last resort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, John started walking toward the deeper forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to step in, he stopped, catching Luna's gaze as she looked right at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luna, what are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John walked over, and Luna seemed to drift along in a daze. Her voice was ethereal, almost like a song: \"I'm looking for the Crumple-Horned Snorkack. Longbottom has a lot of Wrackspurts around him, so I came out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's mind practically sprouted a question mark. Luna pointed at his face and said, \"Now you have a lot of Wrackspurts around you, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrackspurts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his insight spell but couldn't see anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're invisible,\" Luna sang gently. \"They float into your ears and muddle up your thoughts. But now they're flying away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John raised an eyebrow; his thoughts had indeed been a bit jumbled just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Luna, who seemed ready to move deeper into the forest, John said, \"It's dangerous over there. When I have time, I'll help you look for the Crumple-Horned Snorkack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bite from the night before had thrown him off balance, but Luna's appearance grounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled warmly, feeling a protective, almost sibling-like fondness—though he didn't actually have a sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna nodded and skipped over to him, her bare, muddy feet moving freely. John frowned and asked, \"Did someone hide your shoes again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Luna wasn't exactly popular in Ravenclaw, and it seemed like those \"little eagles\" had been a bit cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My shoes are magical,\" Luna replied without concern. \"They play hide-and-seek when I fall asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John thought for a moment, then nodded. \"Then I'll give you a pair of shoes that won't play hide-and-seek,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna smiled, a rare expression for her; she usually looked as if she were daydreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John drew his wand and conjured a stream of water to wash the dirt off her feet, then took off his own shoes and placed them on her feet. A tap of his wand, and the oversized shoes shrank to fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing barefoot, he shrugged and said, \"Now these shoes won't play hide-and-seek. You can rest easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna gazed at the charmed shoes and seemed genuinely happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John walked ahead barefoot, asking, \"Can you tell me what exactly the Crumple-Horned Snorkack is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna followed, her steps leisurely and dreamlike, and answered in her airy voice, \"It lives in Sweden, can't fly, has curved horns, and looks like a little calf…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice, like a gentle melody, drifted through the quiet forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people saw John walking Luna back to Ravenclaw Tower barefoot, and some Ravenclaw students fell silent as they noticed. Their lips moved, and John caught the words \"Loony girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, and a silent pressure fell over the Ravenclaws who had been whispering. With a scream, a few of them scattered. When Luna turned her head, John simply waved with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Ravenclaw Tower, John headed to Professor Snape's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As John opened the door, he couldn't help but take a good look at Snape's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, not much better than Sirius Black's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape's gaze was icy, and his eyes lowered, noting John's muddy, bare feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood in silence for a moment until John finally asked, \"So, Professor Lupin wasn't the only one involved in that attempted murder, was he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape's eyes narrowed, his tone dripping with irritation. \"I told you already, John Wick, that werewolf is no saint.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He and Sirius Black—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John paused, fixing his gaze on Snape, and continued, \"—and Harry's father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this is all you've found after all this effort, then, Mr. Wick, I must say I'm disappointed,\" Snape sneered with an edge, as if mocking the simplicity of John's findings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the barb, John stepped closer to Snape. \"So… the one who was almost killed—was you, wasn't it, Professor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Snape's face darkened completely, and John could see a slight twitch in his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mr. Wick, you've learned far more than you should. Perhaps Lupin was quite pleased to recount those days to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Snape held his temper, his upper lip stiffened, clearly on the razor's edge of losing patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" John shook his head, watching Snape's nearly furious expression, and said calmly, \"It was Sirius Black who told me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\" Snape shot to his feet, his eyes locked on John with a piercing glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face trembled, and he squeezed out the words from his teeth one by one: \"You met him, the damned Azkaban fugitive, Sirius Black.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was angry and embarrassed, and even mixed with murderous intent that people could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me... where is that damned guy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chapters ahead of SH:\u003C\u002Fp>",1580,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","8763af021488ebcda5f440d0e00f1f130e8606b19b42d74a3039ae47a1c5f963","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-153","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-151",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
