A piercing shriek erupted, making him quickly shut it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others all shot him murderous glares. Malfoy gave an awkward smile and said, \"I was just curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not a cat. Why are you so curious?\" John glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the golden egg. In fact, he had already figured out part of the mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curled slightly, and he looked at the two expectant competitors, chuckling, \"Unfortunately, for the sake of fairness in this competition, you'll have to figure it out yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, come on, John!\" Malfoy wailed, having had his curiosity piqued, only for John to shut it down like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only one person in the group were competing, John would have shared the answer. But with both of them in the tournament, that wasn't an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon task had been a collective act of cheating, but this time, that wasn't the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then let them compete fairly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur smirked proudly. She understood John's meaning perfectly and taunted Cedric, \"Looks like we'll have to see who comes out on top.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking forward to it,\" Cedric replied with a harmless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were now determined to win. After setting that matter aside, the group moved on to other topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy mentioned that the Triwizard Tournament had already drawn significant attention within the wizarding world. A few minor incidents had occurred, including someone impersonating Mr. Malfoy to scam a bottle of rare wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy immediately spoke up, explaining that the bottle had been something his father had eagerly anticipated. Having it intercepted halfway had sent Lucius into a furious rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was suspected that someone had used Polyjuice Potion to deceive the staff at Silverhand's wine cellar. While it wasn't a major event, it had caused a minor stir in the wizarding community before fading from attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the missing Ministry official had yet to be found. A search of his home revealed a marked map of Albania, suggesting that he had traveled there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, old Barty let out a sigh of relief and took another sip of his mead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathering in the secret chamber was an enjoyable one, but Neville had to leave early for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Neville left, John tapped his glass to get everyone's attention and made an announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to do something big for Neville. This matter concerns his parents, so I want every one of you to be involved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His serious tone made everyone sit up straight, focusing intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a face full of solemnity, he then dropped a bombshell: \"I'm going to ostracize him, bully him, isolate him, and make him hate me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!? John, have you lost your mind?\" Malfoy froze for a moment, then grinned. \"Ahh~ You must be drunk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Draco, I'm not drunk.\" John sighed, but his expression was serious, not at all like a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the secret chamber fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at John. After a brief pause, Cedric asked, \"Can I ask why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of bullying someone—especially a friend—was difficult for Cedric to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him, everyone else was also afraid of missing any details, listening with utmost focus and seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you remember Neville's parents?\" John looked at their faces and said calmly, \"I've found a way to heal them. But for it to work, Neville must be personally involved. And for that, I need his hatred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of \"hatred,\" Malfoy was the first to react. \"A method? You mean, like the emotional training you did with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been trained by John before, using insults to provoke his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something like that, but Neville has a better temper than you,\" John nodded. \"That's why I need you all—not just yourselves, but also to influence others—to isolate him completely. If he doesn't explode in silence, he'll be destroyed by it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's cold and sharp tone sent chills down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method of pushing someone off a cliff—if Neville ever found out, he would surely hate him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne immediately jumped up in protest, her voice sharp. \"Why does it have to be you? Neville will want to kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't want anything to happen to John. A person pushed into the abyss could be extremely dangerous, and she didn't want John to take that risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just her—Cedric also frowned and said, \"John, you're doing this for Neville's sake, but it will hurt your friendship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter.\" John chuckled. \"Isn't that what friends are for? To step in when help is needed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Cedric and said sincerely, \"If I were in danger, you'd come to save me—even at the cost of your own life, wouldn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cedric fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy stared at John for a moment before saying, \"The price is too high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will understand. I believe that.\" John's tone left no room for doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others could only accept it. Heinrich had never doubted John, and this time was no different. He said, \"I will stay by your side to protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no need.\" John waved off the offer and instructed Heinrich, \"For now, stay close to Fleur. I suspect something unusual might happen because of the Triwizard Tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something unusual? What do you mean?\" Percy asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's voice deepened. \"Harry's participation wasn't an accident. Someone is plotting something through the tournament. We need to be prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they hadn't seen the mastermind yet, the ability to manipulate the Goblet of Fire meant their opponent was undoubtedly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tournament wasn't just about the Ministry of Magic's elections—it was also Percy's chance to establish a foundation for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Barty Crouch Sr. became the next Minister of Magic, his vacant position would need to be filled by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy might not become the department head, but he could still secure a key position of power within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single move could affect everything—John needed to plan ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the others also promised to stay vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Daphne remained furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Constellation Society's secret chamber, John looked up outside and saw a team escorting four massive iron cages as they departed from Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes turned into vertical pupils. With a blink, his vision zoomed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly see the dragon handlers' wary expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.. I'll wait until they're further away before making a move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, John stepped into the darkness and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlie Weasley yawned. The freckled dragon handler complained, \"They're not even letting us rest for a night? This is way too rushed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's better to be cautious. These are fire-breathing dragons. If something happens near Hogwarts, that would be terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An older dragon handler scolded him, \"At your age, how can you even sleep soundly?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I was your age, I was already subduing rampaging dragons all by myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The freckled wizard immediately shut his mouth but rolled his eyes internally, thinking,If you're that amazing, you should be the Minister of Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlie laughed heartily—he loved taking care of dragons, so he didn't find it tiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once had a chance to join a professional Quidditch team, but his passion for dragons outweighed his love for the sport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group moved through the Forbidden Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking some distance, the forest became eerily silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlie's instincts told him something was wrong. He stopped, raised his ears, and said, \"Listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other dragon handlers didn't understand at first, but Charlie's face was deadly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older handler also sensed something was off and exclaimed, \"It's too quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forbidden Forest was home to many magical creatures—how could it be so silent? Not even the chirping of insects or birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlie's expression darkened. A faint whooshing sound seemed to brush past his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clouds in the sky parted, allowing moonlight to pour down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlie's eyes widened in horror as he looked at the ground, his pupils shrinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive shadow loomed over them, its grotesque silhouette stretching across the forest floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ON GUARD!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted loudly, turning his head just in time to see a pair of terrifying, large brown eyes in the pitch-black darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What—Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The freckled dragon handler had no time to react before a tail, swift as a lunging Basilisk, struck him and sent him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older handler had just drawn his wand when a fierce gust of wind tore through the area, blowing his wig away. A crimson glow burned within the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"R-RUN!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Charlie rolled to the side and fired a Stunning Spell from his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint glow of his spell was insignificant, but it reminded the others that they were wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all sprang into action, casting Stunning Spells toward the looming shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon's breath burst free from its jaws, an inferno of crimson flames surging overhead before landing on the cages meant to contain the dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cages, designed to hold dragons, melted like snow under the blazing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a deafening roar echoed through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROOOAAARRR—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amohan charged out of the shattered cage, its massive wings beating the air as it unleashed another fiery breath onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow did not stop. It opened its jaws once more, and searing flames melted the remaining three cages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three more thunderous dragon roars shook the Forbidden Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fury from being imprisoned was now unleashed upon the humans below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon handlers were no match for four raging fire dragons, especially with an unknown giant dragon standing among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlie had never imagined death could be this close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he wasn't directly struck by the dragon's breath, the lingering heat drained the very life from the earth around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive black-shadowed dragon easily tore open the top of a carriage, revealing the dragon eggs inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>||As expected, here they are.||\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having found the eggs, the black dragon didn't hesitate. It grabbed the carriage, flapped its wings, and let out a resounding roar:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROOOAAARRR—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other fire dragons immediately halted their rampage. They took to the skies, responding to the call and following the black dragon into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older dragon handler coughed up blood, his arm burned but not critically injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still in shock, he gasped, \"W-What… what was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlie rasped, \"A dragon. A dragon we've never seen before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, they had no way of retrieving the fire dragons. Some of their team members were severely injured, but thankfully, no one had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By morning, the entire magical world was in an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A never-before-seen dragon, terrifyingly powerful, had taken multiple Stunning Spells without even flinching—and had led the other dragons away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some curious souls gave this dragon a name: Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than its massive brown eyes, the dragon was as black as the abyss itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chapters ahead at my Patreon!♥\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon: Dragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1900,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","f714bdd0d1facc4d6d8bc71973cd0314f1b180954d6124d4fc3ff090feb7914e","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-211","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-209",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
