Here to pick up Harry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Harry's Invisibility Cloak, John wasn't surprised that he hadn't seen the boy himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that lineup, it was clear—the Order of the Phoenix took Harry very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Order of the Phoenix, huh… hope I succeed.\" He picked up that torn scrap of fabric, still stained with the blood of the square-jawed wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the scrap in his right hand, John raised his left hand to hover about a foot above it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recurrat astri sanguinis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the trace spell. The blood on the cloth began to gather, floating into the air and slowly forming into an arrowhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red thread stretched out into the void, just about to connect with the arrowhead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, John frowned. The blood suddenly evaporated into white smoke, as if the magic had been drained out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A protective enchantment is in place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of the blood was in a place akin to a safe house. John had just barely sensed the location, but it was swiftly erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard he tried to recall it now, he simply couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fidelius Charm, huh?\" he muttered, already having figured it out, frowning deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Dumbledore to move so quickly—they'd already secured a base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally planned to find a way to locate the Order of the Phoenix's hideout to better plan his future moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it seemed he had underestimated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some twists and turns, Harry finally arrived at his destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised him was—it wasn't the Burrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody told him they couldn't go to the Burrow; it was too unsafe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a Deluminator borrowed from Dumbledore, Moody collected all the surrounding light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Harry's arm, while Lupin and Tonks followed behind carrying Harry's trunk. The rest drew their wands, covering the sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a heavy escort, it seemed like only Voldemort himself could manage to kill Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it,\" Moody growled, handing Harry a piece of parchment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry looked down at the parchment. The long, thin handwriting looked vaguely familiar. It read:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is located at Number 12, Grimmauld Place, London.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked curiously, \"What's the Phoe—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not here!\" Moody barked harshly. \"Wait until we're inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hyper-alert, scanning their surroundings, as if expecting a Death Eater to jump out any second and hit Harry with an Avada Kedavra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Harry had memorized the words, he snatched the parchment back and burned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were standing right in front of Number 11 Grimmauld Place. Oddly, to the left was Number 10, and to the right was Number 13.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry found it strange—there was no Number 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about what you just memorized,\" Lupin prompted gently, in the same reassuring tone he used back when teaching at Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry focused on the phrase he'd just read, and the scene before his eyes began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battered old door appeared out of nowhere between Number 11 and Number 13. Dirty walls and gloomy windows emerged, entirely out of sync with the rest of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked as though a house had suddenly inflated into existence, pushing the neighboring buildings apart to make room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry gawked at it, stunned, as Moody urged him to get inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paint on the front door was peeling, and the surface was covered in scratches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver door knocker was shaped like a coiled serpent. There was no keyhole, and no mail slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin pulled out his wand and knocked on the door. The metallic clang rang out sharply, sounding like heavy chains clattering and dragging across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonks immediately spoke up, \"Merlin's beard, Podmore, could you stop moaning? You're going to get us all exposed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words drew everyone's attention to Sturgis Podmore, whose face was pale as a sheet. His lips were trembling as he let out soft, pained whimpers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-sorry, I… I can't stop the bleeding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing something was wrong, Lupin leaned over to check the bloodied leg and his expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally made a diagnosis. \"There's magic on the wound. It won't heal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic?\" Harry was incredulous. \"He was bitten by a dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Tom all too well—that was just a normal dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lupin, a former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, wouldn't make a mistake about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had recognized the severity of the magic—it wasn't just a wound. It wouldn't close, and would bleed a person out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moody checked as well and came to the same conclusion. \"Dark magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly helped Podmore into the house and assigned someone to clean up the blood outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, Sturgis Podmore could finally let go and scream. His cries of pain echoed through the house and drew others over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them noticed the car parked out on Grimmauld Place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside it, Watson sat with his mouth wide open, watching as a group of people flew down from the sky on broomsticks—then vanished into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's dark magic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mundungus, not now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and stop the bleeding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered Number 12 Grimmauld Place, the cacophony of noise instantly frayed everyone's nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione and Ron were drawn downstairs by the commotion, just in time to see Sturgis Podmore's leg drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Weasley family was there—everyone except Percy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Weasley quickly sent Ginny back to her room; the bloody scene was no sight for a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny shot a resentful look at Ron, as if to say,\"He's a kid too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to him?\" A few people who had been in a meeting emerged to see what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius found his old friend Lupin and asked directly. Lupin gave a wry smile. \"He was bitten by a dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A dog?\" Sirius's eyes widened.What kind of dog could do this?Even a Tibetan mastiff couldn't inflict that kind of damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape knelt down with a deep frown. He examined the wound, which was gouged so deep the bone was visible, and said solemnly, \"There's a powerful curse embedded in this—it's preventing the wound from healing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sturgis Podmore's face was deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trembled as he asked, \"Will I… will I be able to keep my leg?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we could get our hands on the dog that bit you, maybe we could find a way to break the curse.\" Even Snape found the situation troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself was well-versed in Dark Magic—after all, he had createdSectumsempra, a powerful dark curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effects ofSectumsemprawere similar to this bite—both caused wounds that couldn't be healed. But while he knew the countercurse toSectumsempra, this one was completely unknown to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dog? Remus, you still haven't told me which dog did it?\" Sirius turned to Lupin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Harry spoke up, \"It was Tom. John's dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noisy room quieted slightly. Hermione covered her mouth in disbelief.Thattiny thing—Tom—had caused a wound like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape's expression darkened as he snapped, \"What foolish thing did you lot do this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry didn't like his tone one bit. It rubbed him the wrong way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius saw Snape bullying his godson and immediately bristled. \"Severus, he wouldn't do anything foolish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, really?\" Snape sneered sarcastically. \"You know very well John Wick isn't the impulsive type.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He assumed someone in the group had provoked John, which had led to him casting such a vicious curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that name was mentioned, Sirius felt a dull ache in his left rib.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin gave a wry smile. \"Alright, this time it wasn't John Wick's doing. We accidentally trespassed onto his lawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean to tell me,\" Snape said coldly, \"a group of fully trained wizards got chased off by adog?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Embarrassing as it is,\" Lupin sighed, \"yes, we were chased off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's focus on saving Sturgis Podmore's leg,\" Moody finally spoke up, rapping his cane irritably. \"We haven't even started fighting, and we're already down a leg?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chaps ahead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon: Dragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","a885e4148d01490cb49e80998edc0e524cd29be9ed3625846d3cee72213df275","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-269","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-267",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
