Truth be told, even he felt that Moody's attention toward him was a bit too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if Moody were constantly worried about him getting hurt. However, since Moody had always been good to him, Harry never gave it too much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the conflict concluded with Slytherin losing 20 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy felt the sting—Moody never missed an opportunity to dock points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was starting to feel like Gryffindor had gained a Snape of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, even though Slytherin was still in the lead, they could never pull too far ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Gryffindor, sitting in second place, was closing the gap step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The point gap between Slytherin and Gryffindor was now less than 50.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of crisis loomed over the Slytherin students, while Gryffindor, as if injected with chicken blood, was fired up to break Slytherin's championship streak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the last test run, John found an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Defense Against the Dark Arts, Moody's teaching style was rough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He taught students how to react to magic in real combat situations—by attacking them directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His methods were anything but gentle, leaving quite a few students in a miserable state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them complained to their parents, and soon, a flood of complaint letters once again buried the headmaster's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The school was under pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, they decided that next week's sixth-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class would be monitored by representatives from the Board of Governors and parent delegates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The school board deemed this necessary, and even Dumbledore, under such pressure, had no choice but to compromise this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, Harry would be in Divination class, and John had already arranged to take the day off in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John also knew that the lesson involved practicing counter-curses against Dark Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant Moody had to leave the classroom and move the lesson to the spacious staff lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in case, he had a backup plan—Plan B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy would be stationed outside Divination class, ready to flirt—ehm—provoke Harry into a conflict at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, the parent representative for this supervision session was Cedric's father—a Ministry official who held great respect for Dumbledore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was likely a little maneuver on Dumbledore's part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other representative from the school board was Mr. Greengrass—Daphne's father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a side note, Greengrass, like Malfoy, was also a member of the school board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even during Voldemort's reign, Greengrass had never wavered from his neutral stance, earning him a reputation for fairness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supervised class arrived quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John pulled out the Marauder's Map to confirm that Moody was indeed teaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Moody had moved to the staff lounge for the lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the two representatives, Dumbledore was also present—a welcome advantage for John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everyone occupied in class, John made his way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office was separated from the classroom by a side door, which John planned to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering, he carefully checked for any detection spells on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming there were none, he reached out to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his hand touched the door, John's expression suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone triggered my magic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Constellation Society's detection magic had been triggered—someone had entered their base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A choice lay before John: continue his current investigation or rush back to catch the intruder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his deduction, the one who triggered the spell was most likely the Confundus Charm master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primary suspect had always been Moody—but Moody was currently in class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a second of hesitation, John made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He abandoned his current mission and sprinted toward the Constellation Society's base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he sent Heinrich a message to confirm whether Moody was still present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cross-checking with the Map, he saw Moody was indeed still in class, and Heinrich confirmed it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant only one thing—Moody was not the Confundus Charm master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real mastermind was someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John quickened his pace, dashing up to the fourth floor under Filch's bewildered gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the while, he kept a close watch on the Map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who had triggered the spell had not left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Constellation Society's base was outside the Map's marked areas, John had no way of identifying the intruder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way to find out was to go inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the entrance of the Constellation Society's base, John noticed that the magic on the door was in a dormant state. If he hadn't set up a new detection spell on the opposite side earlier, he might never have noticed the intrusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's see who you really are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his sleeve, his wand slid smoothly into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preparing for battle, John cautiously pushed the door open with his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defensive magic inside was immediately triggered, and the intruder had also cast a powerful destruction curse to extinguish all the lights in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Constellation Society, now shrouded in darkness, seemed like the perfect hiding place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for the intruder, John had night vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept around the room, but he didn't spot anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out a small bottle from his pouch, he poured out its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fine powder, shimmering like stardust, quickly clung to a chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's eyes darkened—he had found the fucker!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Petrificus Totalus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chair rolled away to dodge—it wasn't just a chair, but someone transformed into one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now exposed, the intruder didn't sit around waiting to be caught. A flash of red light shot toward John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blocking it with a Shield Charm, John stepped into the Constellation Society's base and shut the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pitch darkness, he and the mysterious figure clashed, spells flying back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks of spellfire clashed relentlessly, wrecking the furniture and decorations within the Constellation Society's base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's heart pounded—this person was stronger than an Auror. Their duel was entirely silent, both wielding nonverbal magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, John no longer held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bombarda Maxima!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blazing white light shot toward the intruder, but with a flick of their wand, objects in the room flew up to intercept it, successfully blocking the shattering curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But John refused to be suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starry dome overhead suddenly lit up. With his wand as a conductor, John harnessed the Constellation Society's magic, condensing it into a powerful beam of light that shattered the intruder's defense and sent them flying backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John lunged forward, gripping his wand like a sword. An invisible blade sliced toward the intruder's ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sectumsempra!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fiendfyre!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since the battle started, the intruder spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voice was refined, smooth like silk gliding over the rim of a wine glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames erupted, but John cleaved through them in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intruder used the fire as cover to reposition, but John wasn't about to let them escape. More Slashes whipped through the air, closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the intruder was agile, the space remained limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With John controlling the Constellation Society's chamber to aid his attacks, the opponent was quickly struck again and collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John followed up with two more Stunning Spells. Only when the intruder lay motionless did he approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Powerful, skilled in Confundus Charms… Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for the chamber's assistance, John wouldn't have subdued them so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping closer, he finally got a clear look at the person's face—and his heart nearly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Percy..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still in shock, John barely had time to react as the intruder's eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their wand pointed directly at him— \"Confundus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness swallowed John's vision. He instantly bit down on his tongue, using the pain to jolt himself awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in time to see a red beam of light slam into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force sent him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intruder staggered to their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's expression flickered between shock and fury as he growled coldly, \"Who the hell are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way Percy would do something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant this person had likely taken on Percy's appearance—deliberately trying to shake John's resolve and force him into making a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're quite clever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intruder tore off a shattered amulet and tossed it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's expression darkened—it was one of his own creations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intruder chuckled. \"But keeping me here? That's still too difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an elegant flick of their wand, they spoke— \"Fiendfyre.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's face changed as he saw the cursed flames surge toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intruder dropped their wand and bolted toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John wanted to chase, but if the Fiendfyre went out of control, it would burn the entire Constellation Society to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to stop, raising his wand high. Powerful magic shot from the ceiling, channeling directly into his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John fixed his gaze on the serpent-like Fiendfyre. A fierce blaze erupted from his wand, encasing the cursed flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more magic poured in, John's fire transformed into a dragon, swallowing the Fiendfyre whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhausting all his strength, John finally extinguished the Fiendfyre that was summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruthless and decisive... Who exactly is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Constellation Society was in complete disarray, and John's expression shifted unpredictably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wand left behind had been burned to ashes by the cursed flames. Even if it had survived, John doubted it would have revealed any useful clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wand had come from Johnny Silverhand's Specialty shop—an unregistered, no-name wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up the fallen amulet, John examined the hidden serial number on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Johnny Silverhand's Specialty shop strictly recorded every amulet sold under a real-name system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, this was the only lead—tracing the owner of this amulet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chapters ahead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon: Dragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1756,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab6a993effc0920394fe08b3f160496d22e06b7376b9efc02e105f2a71a14ca1","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-242","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-240",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
