One unlucky Death Eater was a little slow in starting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of red light struck him, causing his entire body to curl up in agony, wailing in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lippy reached out, trying to pull him up, but another Stunning Spell hit the Death Eater, knocking him out cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, no one dared to stop. They fled in complete disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally escaping the Silverhand Manor's territory, Lucius found a wooden stump and anxiously said, \"Put your hands on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others obeyed immediately, their minds already in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pulling force emerged—the stump was a Portkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very next second after they were whisked away, Tommy arrived with his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed furiously, ordering everyone to search the area thoroughly. The security team, not daring to speak, quickly dispersed to carry out the search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the others had left, Tommy's expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh~ Lord Silverhand's plan was a success.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to Silverhand Manor, bringing along the stunned Death Eater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was leisurely playing with his ring. Seeing Tommy return, he remarked with interest, \"Your friend is quite clever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was referring to Lippy—who had dared to venture into the dungeon on a risky mission and now had gone with the other death eaters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tommy gave a wry smile. \"My lord, Lippy might have discovered something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared John would blame Lippy. After all, their original goal was just to uncover the traitor, yet Lippy had ended up infiltrating the Death Eaters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John waved his hand dismissively, chuckling. \"It's fine. The more people we plant among the Death Eaters, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the unconscious Death Eater Tommy had brought, John said meaningfully, \"There are no rules saying we can only fight defensively.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a book from the shelf and opened it. The pages flipped rapidly, sheets flying out and sticking to the Death Eater one by one, wrapping him up like a mummy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pulling force emerged from the book's blank cover, sucking the Death Eater inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John shut the book, as if nothing had happened, and placed it back on the shelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adjusting his collar, John spoke calmly, \"Provide compensation for the injured. Draft the document, and I'll sign it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he stepped into the fireplace. The blue flames swallowed him, and he vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tommy shook his head helplessly—what a hands-off boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what could he do? He was stuck with a student as his employer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter of the traitor was not over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius sent word—he had successfully gained the Death Eaters' trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he wasn't on their list of trusted members. Even in major operations like the rescue mission, the Death Eaters hadn't considered involving someone as high-ranking and traitorous as Lucius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after the rescue, he was still met with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bieber questioned his presence at the scene. Lucius sneered and replied, \"With my current relationship with Johnny Silverhand, do you think he would still keep secrets from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius spoke with frustration. \"With Johnny Silverhand's cautious nature, after failing once, he wouldn't leave a second opportunity. I wanted to find the organization, yet all of you kept playing dumb!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words left the surviving tall, thin Death Eater looking embarrassed—because, from the very beginning, they had never even considered Lucius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And between the lines of Lucius' words, one thing was clear—he had an unusual level of trust and camaraderie with Johnny Silverhand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That also explained why Lucius was able to open the dungeon door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this operation, Lucius had fully reintegrated into the Death Eater ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lippy had also successfully infiltrated, becoming one of Lucius' subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Lippy, who focused on gathering intelligence, Bieber was someone who truly wanted to stir up trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had Lucius—a man of considerable standing in the wizarding world—supporting him, he decisively pledged allegiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the locksmith, Doug, who had died earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry, but Death Eaters didn't waste time mourning fallen comrades\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intelligence Lucius obtained was even more detailed than John had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still plenty of Death Eaters loyal to Voldemort hiding in Knockturn Alley, which took John by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had assumed Knockturn Alley was already under his control, but there were far more security gaps than he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had uncovered them, John immediately began working to close those gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius was to remain undercover while John relocated to continue strategizing elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, John remained busy at school as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't forgotten—there was still a master of Confundus Charms lurking within Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mermaid incident seemed to have faded from memory with time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Barty had been running around tirelessly, working to minimize its impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, no lives were lost in the accident. However, the incident did bring an unexpected visitor from the Ministry of Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was originally Barty's stage alone was now forcibly shared between two main actors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia Bones would be present for the third task, personally overseeing the Triwizard Tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Barty was displeased, he had no way to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody walked through the castle, his wooden leg thudding against the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunk. Thunk. Thunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet corridor, his footsteps stood out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked, Moody suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come out.\" His magical eye locked onto the corner ahead. \"Or would you prefer I invite you out myself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, a figure stepped out from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale face, black hair covering one eye, and golden irises peering through the strands, staring at Moody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heinrich Edgar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody didn't seem surprised. He opened his ornate flask and took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Edgar, huh? That surname reeks of darkness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody's lips curled, making the scars on his face appear even more grotesque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his gruff voice, he sneered, \"You lot, skulking in the shadows where you belong—what makes you think you won't burn stepping into the light of Hogwarts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if trying to get a better look, Moody took a few steps forward, his normal eye fixed on the pale face before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look like someone... A dead man—Adolph Edgar.\" After mentioning the name, Moody's expression twitched, disgust crawling across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That lunatic, when he was about to be caught, ignited Fiendfyre and burned himself along with a group of Death Eaters. That disaster wiped out an entire village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps recalling the incident enraged him further, as Moody took another swig from his flask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong scent of alcohol reached Heinrich's nose, and for the first time, his cold expression shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn't speak of him that way,\" Heinrich said, frowning. His voice was icy. \"He died for his ideals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ideals?\" Moody burst into harsh laughter, then spat with disdain, \"You Edgars and your so-called light—you've thrown the entire wizarding world into chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grindelwald did it. Voldemort did it, too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice rose into a roar. \"I know what you're thinking—you want to follow in your foolish uncle's footsteps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you this—there has never been any light that could shine into the stubborn, wretched heart of an Edgar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinrich's expression twisted with anger as he reached out, grabbing for Moody's collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Edgar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice interrupted him mid-motion. Both Moody and Heinrich turned their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape was leaning casually against the doorway, gazing at them with his usual indifferent expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't want to be late, you'd best head to the Potions classroom now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a sixth-year Potions class today. Heinrich halted his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he passed Moody, he paused for a moment, gritting his teeth. \"You shouldn't mock that light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody remained unimpressed. He had seen too many lunatics in his lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were obsessed, fanatical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without exception, they all ended up spending the rest of their days in Azkaban.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Heinrich left, Snape frowned and spoke in his unmistakably sardonic drawl. \"Professor Moody, I hope you understand that Dumbledore brought you here to teach, not to throw around baseless accusations against students.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Severus, you think the same way, don't you?\" Moody locked eyes with Snape, his magical eye whirling wildly. \"You, of all people, should understand what kind of disaster the rise of a new Dark Lord would bring to the wizarding world. You were even willing to become a spy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I don't... know,\" Snape said slowly, drawing out his words as he stared deeply at Moody. \"And neither does Dumbledore... about this so-called 'third Dark Lord.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody snorted through his nose but said nothing more, continuing on his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape stepped into the classroom, and as he entered, the door slammed shut behind him with a heavy thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chapters ahead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon: Dragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1515,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","d4381c3c24811ec2a71466c06df927aec1915f538bfab7557823e9ee726498ef","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-229","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-227",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
