Don't know about that. Haven't been properly conscious for long, and when I was, the standard was bloody awful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after some time had passed, Moody still couldn't help but grumble when talking about the period he'd been under the Imperius Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry's nerves finally settled as a second voice chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries, Harry. We're here to get you out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lupin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry's heart skipped again, but this time out of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His favorite professor—Professor Lupin—who was also his father's friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice always brought him a strong sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin looked much more worn than Harry remembered from school. He didn't have the same energy about him—more like someone who'd been running errands non-stop for days without any sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had deliberately dressed in his best clothes, though they were a bit worn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past year, Lupin had been busy with various matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he looked at Harry, a brilliant smile bloomed across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, full of questions, couldn't help but smile back at Lupin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He looks exactly like I imagined,\" said a witch among them, holding her wand high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the youngest of the group—a pale, heart-shaped face, sparkling black eyes, and spiky, vividly violet hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Harry,\" she greeted him with a mischievous, lively smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I see what you meant, Remus,\" said a bald, dark-skinned wizard standing at the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was deep and slow, and he wore a golden hoop on one ear. His gaze at Harry was filled with both scrutiny and nostalgia. \"He looks just like James.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Except for the eyes,\" added another wizard with a head full of silver hair, wheezing slightly as he spoke. \"Those are Lily's eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt just like a family gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was the kid being brought out and introduced to all the relatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin and the others had come to escort Harry, acting as his guards. But Moody, ever suspicious, wasn't at ease. He wanted Harry to prove his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having once been impersonated, Moody now had twelve layers of caution on this front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin asked Harry, \"Harry, what does your Patronus look like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A stag,\" Harry answered nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin could confirm—this was indeed Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being stared at by so many people, Harry naturally felt a bit tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stuck his wand into the back pocket of his jeans—only to be yelled at by Moody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't stick your wand back there! Do you know, even wizards more powerful than you have burned their own backsides doing that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That neurotic tone was very Moody. Harry thought the version of Moody played by Edgar had been far too aristocratic(?)... restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least Barty Crouch Jr. never warned about wands exploding in your pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violet-haired woman seemed very interested in the idea of a wizard burning his butt with a wand and asked, \"Do you know who burned their backside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of your business! Just don't put your wand in your back pocket!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least to the woman, that sounded like a guilty dodge. She rolled her eyes so hard they nearly touched the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were getting ready to leave, Harry learned that it was the violet-haired woman who had sent the fake winning letter to the Dursleys through the Muggle post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He secretly admired her cleverness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already couldn't wait to get out of there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they still had to wait a bit longer—Lupin told him they needed to wait for the signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they waited, Harry got to know the wizards who had come to fetch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody didn't need much introduction—after all, he had taught Harry for a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, most of that time it had actually been Ardolph Edgar impersonating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman with violet-colored hair was named Nymphadora Tonks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't like people using her full name—she preferred to be called just Tonks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-skinned man was Kingsley Shacklebolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were others: Elphias Doge, Dedalus Diggle, Emmeline Vance, Sturgis Podmore, and Hestia Jones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all volunteered to come get Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry wanted to ask a few things—like questions about Voldemort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he even started to say the name, they all shushed him at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody told him to shut his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing can be said here, it's too dangerous,\" Moody explained, his magical eye still spinning warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his eye swiveled toward the outside, and Moody asked, \"Who's that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry followed the direction of his pointing finger and saw a house much bigger than the Dursleys'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment and said, \"That's John's house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John? John Wick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody's expression turned serious, and Lupin's face grew complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry found their expressions strange. Had something happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Moody didn't say anything more—he just glanced silently and turned his head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin let out a sigh. Harry felt frustrated. This again—he knew absolutely nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lupin did tell him they would be flying back on broomsticks, which was at least good news. At least now he knew how they were getting back, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry went upstairs to pack. Tonks, noticing his sour mood, decided to try cheering him up by changing her hair color—being a Metamorphmagus and all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, now that Harry knew Tonks was a Metamorphmagus, it reminded him of Ardolph Edgar again, and that just made him feel worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After packing up, Harry came back downstairs with Tonks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a red spark lit up the sky outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody gave Harry a sharp knock on the head—like cracking an egg. A cold sensation seeped from the wand into Harry's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Disillusionment Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Harry's first time experiencing it, and it felt incredibly strange. He was reminded of John's invisibility trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Invisibility cloaks get blown around on a broomstick, don't cling properly. The Disillusionment Charm camouflages you better,\" Moody explained, prompting Tonks to loudly praise him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second signal came—green sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody unlocked the back door, and they headed out one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was thrilled—he finally wasn't being left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now! Let's go! Remember! Constant vigi—What the—!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That excitement didn't last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Moody had carefully assigned tasks with great vigilance, he hadn't expected that there would be magic on the roof of John Wick's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first three who took off ended up dropping like dumplings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the attic, a dog's head popped out and barked wildly at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Tom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>August 12th was the day of Harry's hearing, to be held before the Wizengamot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was making plans to weaken Dumbledore's power on that very day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you're Dumbledore, you still have to pay a price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed dangerously—this was the perfect opportunity to strike at Dumbledore's position as headmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn't bring him down directly, he had to force Dumbledore into major concessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In John's mind, Dumbledore's figure flashed, along with the image of the Fiendfyre blazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew rapid, and before he realized it, everything around him tightened and began to float in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect that I was so impatient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placing a hand over his chest, John muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chaps ahead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon: Dragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1245,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","57213c1a2c17b8704878a15d6d3226298b8ead30874776390e7652e5f028e0f0","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-266","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-264",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
