Unlike Britain, it was filled with a lively and vibrant atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This energy extended into its magical schools as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilvermorny—a school established by a descendant of Salazar Slytherin—stood out among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Founded in the 17th century, the school was built atop Greylock Mountain in Massachusetts. Initially, it was merely a stone cottage constructed by Isolt Sayre and her husband, James Steward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, it expanded and flourished, eventually becoming the foremost magical school in America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much like Hogwarts, Ilvermorny is divided into four houses:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horned Serpent, known for favoring scholars and lovers of knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderbird, which welcomes adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wampus, which values warriors of great determination and courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pukwudgie, which selects healers known for their kindness and nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structure closely mirrors that of Hogwarts' four houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of using a Sorting Hat like Hogwarts, Ilvermorny sorts its students in a unique way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students stand atop the Gordian Knot engraved on the stone floor of the hall. Four statues, representing the houses, choose the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If more than one house welcomes a student, the final choice lies with the student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the most famous examples is Seraphina Picquery, the former President of MACUSA, who was chosen by all four houses. She ultimately chose Horned Serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds like Hogwarts Sorting Hat with extra steps,\" John remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John and Heinrich arrived outside the school just as the morning mist began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The castle-like structure loomed amidst the fog, shrouded in mystery. From their vantage point, the two watched in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilvermorny had been enchanted with powerful protective spells, rendering it invisible to Muggles—or rather, \"No-Majs,\" as American wizards called non-magical folk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his international excursion, John couldn't resist visiting this renowned school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Mrs. Wick was engrossed in fashion week, glued to the runway shows. It seemed likely his father's credit card was about to max out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's travel companion, Heinrich, was a prodigy in his own right. By his fifth year at Durmstrang, he had already mastered Apparition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that Durmstrang didn't adhere to strict trace laws, Heinrich had simply used a Portkey to travel to America. From there, he Apparated directly to the summit of Greylock Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John donned his mask as the mountain wind whipped his robes, making them billow dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they spotted a winged horse soaring toward their location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pegasus, backlit by the sun, looked like a child of the heavens descending from the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its back sat a golden-haired boy with bright blue eyes, his carefree smile as radiant as his wind-swept hair. Upon landing, he leapt off the Pegasus and ran toward John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Johnny Silverhand! I didn't expect you'd come looking for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim Ledyslay, once a holiday worker at Johnny Silverhand's specialty store, now stood before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his former employer was an incredible surprise for Kim, who had hoped to return to the shop this break. Unfortunately, with the Quidditch World Cup around the corner and a ticket landing in his hands, his plans had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's voice carried a hint of amusement as he greeted him. \"Kim, even though you've left Johnny Silverhand's Speciality Shop, I'll always consider you a friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, that's an honor,\" Kim replied, flashing his brilliant white teeth in a dazzling smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his attention to the pale-faced figure beside John, Kim extended his hand enthusiastically. \"Kim Ledyslay, Ilvermorny student.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Heinrich barely lifted his eyes, clearly uninterested in shaking hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kim's relentless cheer wasn't so easily deterred. He grabbed Heinrich's hand firmly, ignoring the disdainful look in his eyes, and gave it a vigorous shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinrich yanked his hand back forcefully, his expression filled with revulsion. He immediately pulled out a handkerchief and began scrubbing his hand as if trying to erase the encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John took in the entire scene, not missing the glimmer of amusement in Kim's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like a seemingly honest and straightforward one, but turns out to have a sly streak,\" he muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he considered the introduction between Kim and Heinrich a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John firmly believed in one truth: youth was the greatest asset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why the people he nurtured often included students like Neville or Percy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim Ledyslay was also one of his chosen proteges. During his time as a temporary worker at Johnny Silverhand's shop, Kim had showcased his unique talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a profound understanding of alchemy and considerable magical prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had even been an incident where a reckless dark wizard tried to stir up trouble. Without needing the security team's intervention, Kim had single-handedly taken care of the intruder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the foreseeable future, John decided Kim would act as the host and guide Heinrich around America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim, being a Thunderbird House student, had an adventurous spirit akin to a Gryffindor's, always eager for exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would give the two a chance to get familiar with each other. Heinrich, as a member of the Constellation Society and privy to John's other identities, required no further introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim, as one of John's proteges, needed to establish rapport with his future colleague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Heinrich's barely-contained frustration as he restrained himself from retaliating, John couldn't suppress his laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Apparition, John left Mount Greylock and reappeared in New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinrich probably understood John's intentions—hopefully, they wouldn't end up fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In New York, a fashion show was taking place, and Mrs. Wick had dismissed John under the pretext that he wasn't \"mature enough\" to join her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Women—when it comes to shopping, reason just flies out the window,\" John muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no sign of his Mum emerging from the event anytime soon, John hailed a taxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wandered through the city aimlessly, and by the time he got out of the cab, he found himself in the Lower East Side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This part of town still retained plenty of unique architecture and was dotted with street graffiti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a waistcoat and suit, John looked distinctly out of place here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting his forehead, he muttered, \"Spending too much time in the wizarding world… even my sense of style's starting to match theirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he strolled around, he noticed a quaint café offering afternoon tea that looked promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearby bakery also caught his attention with its inviting charm. Curious, John pushed open the door and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tig Tininlg!~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bell above the door chimed softly, and a young man behind the counter looked up—he must be the owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop was small but radiated warmth. Shelves were lined with freshly baked bread, custom cakes, and a variety of cookies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's gaze landed on one particular loaf of bread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does this look so… familiar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bread was shaped with big, round eyes and a fluffy, goofy expression. It instantly reminded John of a certain wide-eyed, furry Niffler he'd encountered before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's eyes widened as he looked at the other breads on display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each loaf had a unique design—some resembled Erumpents, while others mimicked the appearance of Mooncalves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are these all magical creatures?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to the plump baker behind the counter, John cautiously asked, \"Do you happen to know the twelve uses of dragon's blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon's blood?\" The baker gave him a blank stare, looking genuinely puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John could sense that the man wasn't pretending. This raised even more questions in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this baker wasn't a wizard, why were these loaves shaped like magical creatures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purchasing a few of the whimsical breads, John stepped out of the bakery. As he walked outside, his eyes caught the shop's sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kowalski Bakery?\" he murmured, testing the name on his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He speculated: either someone in this shop's history had wizarding ties, or they had somehow seen these magical beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after John left, a freckled young boy walked into the bakery. Opening the door, he called out to the baker, \"Mr. Kowalski, is Quentin around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rolf, take some bread home—your grandfather will love it,\" the plump baker said with a wide smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolf Scamander scratched his head sheepishly before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New York certainly had its charms, especially Chinatown. The food there still retained its authentic flavors, not yet \"modernized\" or dulled to suit broader tastes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck my life...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, everything John ate was completely flavorless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Did you say something dear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, mum.. you heard something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think.. well that doesn't matter! Please eat now. You look too skinny. Eat to your heart's content, and don't make Mommy too worried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fuck.. my.. life...(┬┬﹏┬┬) '\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the delicacies of Asian cuisine, John ended up eating more than usual. Even though the food tasted bland to him, at least its aroma and presentation were a little appealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This eased Mrs. Wick's worries slightly. Her son's usual lack of appetite had been a significant source of anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If this trip could make John eat a proper meal, then it's worth every penny,'Mrs. Wick thought, feeling a newfound urgency to master the art of Asian cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rented an apartment in New York, and every day, Mrs. Wick would call back to check in with Watson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watson assured her to enjoy the trip, as everything back home had been mostly settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For reasons unknown, several prominent figures who had recently made threats against Watson had met untimely ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some drowned, some fell to their deaths, and others simply disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Watson with little to worry about—except for Sean, who refused to leave him alone. Sean was convinced that these mysterious incidents were Watson's way of flexing his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only strengthened Sean's belief in Fain Wallace's unshakable trust in Watson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter had now earnestly invited Watson to become the second-in-command of the Wallace family, which left the law-abiding Watson feeling overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading this if you are still craving to read something, you can check out my other book, Succubus System At Hogwarts(The name is like this but it's not a lwed book)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>♥\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give it a try, you'll love it~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chapters ahead:\u003C\u002Fp>",1700,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","e3747f486443a493c5e3e7f08f9cd0c59659a5600985df70094c7a97e8802a9a","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-179","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-177",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
