Cedric accepted the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were fired up, determined to defeat the other on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're not going to lose,\" Malfoy said arrogantly. \"Hufflepuff only has you, but Slytherin has all of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he said that, Cedric really wanted to smack him in the face with his broom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still hadn't settled the score with Malfoy for sending Cho Chang flying last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the opportunity presented itself, the two of them went all out during Saturday's match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being good friends, on the pitch they were constantly committing fouls against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the usually rule-abiding Cedric couldn't help but resort to illegal moves when facing Malfoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Firebolt was incredibly fast, and Cedric struggled to control it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During one clash, Cedric's speed dropped too sharply, and he crashed straight to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clutched his arm in pain—it was probably broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy, insufferable as ever, pulled off a graceful stop right in front of Cedric, tossing the Golden Snitch in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well well, has Head Boy Diggory gone rusty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cedric's face darkened. Malfoy really was asking for a beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Slytherin won by a 40-point lead. The trident formation was simply too shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Malfoy hadn't insisted on settling the score with Cedric, they could've widened the gap even further and ended the match early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then Gryffindor wouldn't have had even a sliver of hope left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that Gryffindor had much hope now anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Ron's usual performance, many people doubted whether he could hold the goal under Ravenclaw's offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the last weekend of May—today's match was Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bet that Weasley's going to piss his pants,\" Malfoy sneered nastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John wasn't particularly interested. He glanced at Malfoy rallying a group to go mock Gryffindor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not going,\" John declined calmly. \"I need to go somewhere. You guys go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, even from outside the pitch, Lee Jordan's exasperated voice could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron had let the Quaffle slip past and into the goal right at the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John headed away from the stadium toward the Forbidden Forest. The cheers from the Quidditch match were loud enough to reach even the forest's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Thestral spotted John and came over, nuzzling his hand with its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John patted the Thestral's head, and more Thestrals began appearing around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile. \"You're not picking up the scent of death on me, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thestrals were extremely sensitive to death. Not long after they gathered around him, a beautiful unicorn ran out from the edge of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Weiwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weiwei approached John with a sorrowful look and touched his forehead gently with her horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with your aura?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could sense it—that faint, death-like aura clinging to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing, Weiwei,\" John said with a soft chuckle. \"Do you know about Hagrid's situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's tied up some big creature over there,\" Weiwei nudged John's hand with her nose. \"I'll take you to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John nodded, letting her lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the Forbidden Forest, the underbrush grew thick and tangled—some weeds were tall enough to bury a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper they went, the more the light faded, until it felt like twilight even though it was still day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weiwei, being a unicorn, moved through the forest like it was her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unicorns were incredibly fast—that was how they managed to escape the pursuit of greedy hunters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a while, John was starting to breathe heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weiwei turned her head back and began pacing in circles, clearly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John leaned against a tree to rest for a moment. \"Weiwei, how much farther?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's still a ways to go. John, you're too weak right now.\" Tears welled up in Weiwei's eyes. \"Father has a way to help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clark can't help me,\" John said, gently stroking her head. \"But thank you for worrying about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he had rested, they pushed through the thick brush ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John blasted through the thorny brush with a Crushing Curse. Following the newly cleared path, they reached their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weiwei approached cautiously. \"That thing is very dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John saw a massive dark shape lying on its side up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should've known,\" he muttered with a helpless look as he laid eyes on the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weiwei huffed angrily. \"He nearly ripped my tail off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hagrid really never learns,\" John said, staring at the creature and feeling a pang of discomfort in his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd thought secretly raising a dragon was Hagrid's limit—but apparently, the man also had a thing for giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this particular giant seemed smaller than most, it was still an extremely dangerous brute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hagrid probably thinks he's harmless. And adorable,\" John muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying there was a giant—a sleeping giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a massive mound of earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John sized it up, rubbing his chin. \"He's a bit small.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant didn't look to be more than sixteen feet tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If John were to take his dragon form, this thing would seem downright puny in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed that the giant was tied up with thick ropes—Hagrid's way of restraining it, most likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like Hagrid wasn't completely unprepared,\" John said as he approached the giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weiwei anxiously paced in place. \"What are you doing, John?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John drew his wand as he walked, his eyes cold. \"This guy isn't exactly behaving himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're going to kill him?\" Weiwei asked, a bit horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John paused and looked back with a helpless expression. \"I'm not a devil, Weiwei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh… alright.\" Weiwei lowered her head, realizing she might've overreacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They circled around to the front of the giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One look at the massive creature, and John immediately understood why Hagrid always showed up to class covered in bruises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know this one's name, but John figured he could at least try to negotiate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to step forward, he heard voices coming from behind the giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone besides Hagrid had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I leave, I must—must tell someone, because I need your help. And Ron's, if he's willing.\" That was Hagrid's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll help you, of course. What do you need us to do?\" That was Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hagrid,\" came a trembling voice—it was Hermione. It was clear she was frightened. \"You told us none of them were willing to come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she saw the thing they had mistaken for a mound of earth, Hermione finally understood why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she also understood why Hagrid was always covered in bruises—raising a giant, how could he not get hurt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid continued defending the giant. \"He doesn't know his own strength. He's gotten much better now, not as prone to fighting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to convince Hermione, but she was overwhelmed. \"He didn't want to come. Why did you force him? Wouldn't he be better off staying with his own kind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They all bullied him, Hermione—just because he's small!\" Hagrid pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Small?\" Hermione echoed. \"When you said we should take care of him… does that include John?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hermione, I couldn't leave him behind,\" Hagrid said tearfully. \"But I can't tell John… he's my brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My half-brother,\" Hagrid muttered. \"I found out later—after Mum left Dad, she got with another giant. That's how Grawp came to be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can't you tell John?\" Harry asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because John would scare him,\" Hagrid said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strange choice of words only made the two more puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I'm curious too—what were you thinking, Hagrid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice spoke up suddenly, and Hagrid nearly jumped out of his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1424,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","e73f7c1eb3f91ddfc579a122f0ee12fc34e743b2fcb0a009f2f4c893949f29bd","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-348","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-346",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
