He felt like he had finally done something helpful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, all that typical teenage frustration over romance seemed to vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That happiness lasted… until Umbridge arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Ministry's official tool to keep Dumbledore in check, the one thing Umbridge couldn't stand was students being happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Harry Potter, who was right at the top of her \"special attention\" list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't touch John Wick, but I can certainly deal with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umbridge stormed over to Harry and asked slowly, \"Why are you receiving so many letters, Mr. Potter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is getting mail illegal now?\" The Weasley twins, bold as ever, jumped in—Fred spoke up publicly, making a flash of venom flicker in Umbridge's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch your tongue, Mr. Weasley, or I'll give you detention,\" said Umbridge. Then she turned back. \"Mr. Potter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry hesitated. He wanted to hide it, but figured Umbridge would see The Quibbler eventually anyway. Might as well admit it. \"People wrote to me. I did an interview and talked about what happened last June.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interview?\" Umbridge narrowed her eyes dangerously, her voice rising an octave. \"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A journalist asked questions. I answered.\" Harry tossed The Quibbler at her. \"It's all in there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umbridge caught it, and when her eyes scanned the content, ugly blotches of purple-red appeared on her sagging face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did this happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last time at Hogsmeade,\" Harry answered truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Potter, it seems you really enjoy being the center of attention,\" Umbridge said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. \"Why did you lie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't!\" Harry said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty points from Gryffindor,\" Umbridge said with a sickly sweet smile. \"And one week of detention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry clenched his fists, trembling with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before noon, an Educational Decree was issued banning students from reading The Quibbler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hermione saw the notice, she didn't get angry—instead, she laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry didn't get it. \"They're targeting us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you see?\" Hermione looked like a proud little lion cub as she whispered, \"If you want everyone to read your article, the best way is to ban it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students were naturally rebellious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn't been banned, The Quibbler probably wouldn't have drawn that much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Umbridge had personally named it as forbidden reading, the students' rebellious instincts kicked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By lunchtime, even though no one had visibly seen a copy of The Quibbler around the school, every student was already talking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>News of Voldemort's return had started spreading through Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the professors' actions seemed to silently acknowledge that Harry had done the right thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when Harry handed Professor Sprout a watering can, she gave him twenty points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or when Professor Flitwick handed him a box of Screaming Sugar Mice at the end of Charms class, smiling from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all showing their approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This only added to the credibility of the article.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big comedy star, enjoying the spotlight, are you?\" Malfoy appeared in front of Harry, using mocking words to sneer at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umbridge was right—you really are an attention-seeking show-off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron shouted in anger, \"What did you say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy responded by kicking Ron in the stomach, making him curl up like a shrimp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then grabbed Harry by the collar with both hands and slammed him against the wall, growling like a beast, \"His death isn't your ticket to fame!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I warned you, Potter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This version of Malfoy was terrifying—no one could stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time Harry realized Malfoy was actually this strong. He glared back furiously. \"I never thought that! I just want everyone to know that Voldemort is back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't say that name in front of me—Shut up!\" Malfoy's arm pressed against Harry's throat, his face twisted with fury. \"Stop pretending you're the savior of the world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Malfoy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall spotted them. Her face was pale, her lips tightly pressed together as she said sternly, \"Put Potter down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy didn't respond—until another voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Malfoy, put Harry Potter down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape had arrived too. He swept a glance around the area, frowning. \"Do you want to lose points?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry could feel Malfoy's breathing growing heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was snorting like a bull, breathing loudly through his nose. At last, he released Harry and shoved him hard, causing Harry's head to bang against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy stormed off angrily through the crowd. No one dared to say a word, afraid to provoke the school bully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville was panting, a black eye forming around his left eye. Malfoy looked the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had gone at each other with fists, and in the end, it was Neville who landed a punch to Malfoy's stomach that sent him sprawling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the two of them were lying flat on the ground, gasping for air. John sat silently to the side, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When are we finally getting revenge?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy shouted at the sky in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John rubbed the ring on his finger and said calmly, \"Soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm really not willing to accept this,\" Malfoy growled from his throat as he sat up. \"Why—why was it Heinrich who died, and yet everyone only pays attention to Harry Potter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was his death so worthless? Is the so-called Savior that much more precious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was written in The Quibbler repeated his death all over again, yet everyone was praising Harry Potter's bravery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinrich Edgar's death was ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the whole world was relieved that the one who died was some bad seed from a dark magic family, and not their beloved Savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't even know Heinrich!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear, if Harry Potter had died, there would be a massive funeral and everyone would be in mourning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustrated, Malfoy stood up and punched the wall hard. Blood splattered from his knuckles, but he seemed to feel nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His anger wasn't aimed at Harry—it was at the world that was secretly glad Heinrich was the one who died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stopped what he was doing and said calmly, \"That's reality, Draco.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.... Reality...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stood and walked over to Neville. Neville, who had been silent this whole time, didn't say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to kill Voldemort,\" John looked at Neville, \"Neville, I'm placing my hope in you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding the Horcruxes was the key to killing Voldemort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was down to the last two—both still missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he needed Neville.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville had never felt such a heavy weight on his shoulders as he did today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't understand why John wanted him to search for that thing, but he knew—anything John said he would do, he would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If John said he was going to kill Voldemort, then he would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't only the boy who lived who could save the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Hangleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden hair that had grown long was now greasy and unkempt, giving off a messy, oily look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps echoed in the graveyard, and a wand emitted a faint, ghostly glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the familiar place—once the site of a fatal delay—the masked figure stood silently for a long time on that scorched, irreparable land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into the charred earth. The ground was dry, as if a black hole had swallowed all life from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the center, and slowly lay down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stars dotted the night sky above. He slowly removed his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of burning still lingered in the air. He reached out and gently touched the earth, as if he could still feel the heat from that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...So hot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat up, revealing a face with blond hair and blue eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim Ladislay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if afraid of disturbing someone, he spoke softly and gently, \"It really was hot. So...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you have the courage… to walk into that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Kim gently lifted a piece of scorched earth with his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorched soil crumbled in his palm, slid past his fingertips, and scattered into the dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and looked toward the distant hillside, where a manor—clearly not one belonging to commoners—stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were filled with confusion, and he muttered, \"I'm really afraid… afraid of failure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached up and touched the badge on his chest. Even in its scorched state, it retained a trace of warmth, as if a hand were resting over his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim began walking in that direction—toward his final target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this, he had traveled to many places. Without exception, all of them had turned up nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had dug through those places as if turning the earth inside out, he had never managed to find that item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John had said—obtaining that thing was the key to success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, even if it meant death, Kim wasn't afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had witnessed things far more terrifying than death itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to forget, but that incident was branded into his mind, constantly reminding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey felt unbearably long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the graveyard to the hillside, the distance seemed endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how far the road, there would always be an end. And now, he stood before that manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Riddle Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The home of Tom Riddle's father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1543,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","8d492f25bd87d3b26745f7fe6724b67ba1cb449078c40c6ad2916cafcf0e7b17","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-333","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-331",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
