Harry spotted the same door they'd entered through now cracked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Hermione's arm, dragged her through, and slammed it shut. Hermione flicked her wand, locking it tight with a spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once the door was locked, they realized only the two of them were inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They must have taken the wrong path!\" Hermione said in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" Harry cursed under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to rush back and find the others, but just then voices echoed from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna and Ginny had been cornered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Death Eaters blocked the passage at both ends. Ginny squeezed Luna's hand, guilt written all over her face. \"It's my fault. I took the wrong turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grab them. Potter will hand it over once he sees them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius gave the order and then led the others away to hunt for Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, two adult Death Eaters were more than enough to deal with a pair of young girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked figures advanced step by step. Ginny tightened her grip on her wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can fly out of here,\" Luna said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? We don't know how—\" Ginny began to protest instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms wrap firmly around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Luna's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Luna tapped lightly against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wings sprouted from her shoes, and before the Death Eaters could react, they fluttered rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny felt her feet lift off the ground—they were actually flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Petrificus Totalus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Death Eater attacked, red light shooting toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By her ear, Ginny heard that airy, sing-song voice: \"We're going to fly now with speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vision blurred, but as a Seeker, she quickly regained focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, she saw Luna's shoes glowing faintly across the surface—gleaming, almost dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny wings beat stubbornly and fast, whipping up gusts of wind that sent prophecies toppling from the shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chasing Death Eaters fired spell after spell while dodging the falling orbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is this—\" Ginny didn't even get the words out before a streak of red light shot upward. She couldn't react in time, but the curse ricocheted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Shield Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But neither of them had cast it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She heard a faint clinking sound and glanced down at Luna's hands around her waist. Dangling there were several small wooden plug-like charms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the plugs hung little wooden chips and fragments of seashells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the shells had just shattered. Ginny asked, \"What are those?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna swerved in midair to dodge a curse, her airy voice carrying a hint of delight. \"Charms John gave me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Arthur Weasley's daughter, Ginny knew that Auror gear sometimes included protective charms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they could rely on their aerial advantage and speed to evade attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as more and more Death Eaters were drawn to them, they became moving targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charm after charm shattered, each break making Ginny's heart pound harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go lower—quick, Luna, drop lower!\" Ginny shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luna wasn't Ginny; she didn't have the same flying skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she descended into the spaces between the tall shelves, at least the number of incoming attacks lessened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they passed one towering shelf, the side exploded with a blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were thrown down by the shockwave and debris, plummeting hard from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crashed to the ground, tumbling over several times before coming to a stop. The last wooden chip on Luna's bracelet shattered, leaving it bare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of red light shot toward them, and Ginny hastily raised her wand to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny was still knocked off her feet, rolling across the floor with shards cutting into her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna staggered upright and glanced at her shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little wings on them twitched in tatters, then dissolved into motes of light and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ability to fly was clearly gone. She drew her wand and looked up—only to see a masked Death Eater looming before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luna!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny shouted, and not far away, another Death Eater was approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Expelliarmus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny's wand flew from her hand. Luna barely had time to raise hers before the Death Eater batted it aside and sent her crashing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the two of them truly seemed trapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood trickled from the corner of Luna's mouth. She lifted her head again—and saw the Death Eater frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was gripping the back of his neck, forcing him to struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs kicked wildly, his wand flailing backward—then there was a sharp crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wand snapped in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand pressing down on his neck slammed him hard against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater lay on the ground, life or death uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Neville,\" Luna greeted the newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville rubbed his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same hand that had just crushed the Death Eater's neck hadn't been washed in who knew how long, and the smell of stale sweat clung to his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater facing Ginny noticed Neville and moved to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Levicorpus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's ankle yanked upward, sending him flipping into the air before crashing back down, bouncing off the floor three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy smoothed his hair and cast a glance at Ginny. \"Are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny nodded blankly, as if she had never imagined being saved by Malfoy of all people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville helped Luna to her feet and picked up her wand, handing it back to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too dangerous here. You two should leave,\" Neville said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny retrieved her own wand and asked, \"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't believe coincidence could stretch all the way into the Ministry of Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's none of your business,\" Malfoy said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind Neville, Luna peeked out, her gaze wandering as though she were hoping to catch sight of someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John is here too, isn't he?\" Luna's question left Neville speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna blinked, puzzled. \"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Death Eater was drawn to the scene. Spotting the unfamiliar figure, he raised his wand and attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Petrificus Totalus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red light shot toward Neville—only for Luna's vision to flash white as Neville drew the sword from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single swing, the blade cleaved through the spell. He dropped low, lunging forward, wand in his other hand releasing a jet of red light at the Death Eater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's cloak twisted, binding him up. Neville's sword arm slashed down, snapping the wand clean in two. Then, turning the blade flat, he knocked the Death Eater unconscious with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference in strength was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny gaped at the sight, stunned by Neville's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among Gryffindors, no one had ever noticed that Neville possessed such terrifying ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eaters who had been pressing them so hard suddenly seemed fragile before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wand in his left hand, sword in his right, Neville stood tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without turning back, he said in a low voice to Luna, \"From here on, this isn't something you can take part in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're over he—\" The Death Eater's words cut off as Malfoy struck him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville sheathed the silver sword, giving Luna and the others no chance to ask further questions, and the two of them quickly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny murmured under her breath, \"So this is the strength of the Constellation Society…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was running for his life, panic driving him forward. But the Death Eater behind him wasn't in any hurry. With a lazy flick of his wand, he sent prophecy orbs crashing down one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several struck Ron, making him cry out in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spun around to cast a spell, but his magic was deflected with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater quickened his pace, a trail of black smoke carrying him straight in front of Ron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Expelli—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater's wand lifted, and a flash of red light struck Ron, curling his body up as a scream tore from his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cruciatus Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nott, don't kill him,\" Lucius said as he strolled over, giving Ron a cold glance. \"He might be useful to trade for the prophecy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the shock of red hair, Lucius frowned, his face twisting in disgust. \"Filthy Weasley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron tried to crawl forward, stretching for his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nott didn't even bother looking at him, just raised his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crucio.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh—!\" Ron's body convulsed violently as another scream was ripped from his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nott pressed a boot against Ron's back, watching his pained expression with cruel delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, little baby Potter, where are you—\" came the shrill, deranged voice of Bellatrix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius said coolly, \"We'll split into pairs. Bring those brats back. Remember—until we have the prophecy, don't kill them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned to leave, Lucius cast Ron a look of pitying disdain. \"A bunch of children playing house. You're not even close to our level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucius, hurry up!\" Nott urged impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius swept away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nott hauled Ron up, preparing to drag him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragged along helplessly, Ron's chest burned with frustration and humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed a row of towering shelves, Nott suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head. A pair of eyes was staring at them through the gaps in the racks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nott resumed walking. The eyes moved as well, matching his pace. Both grew faster and faster, until at the end of the row, the figure darted out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his wand toward that direction, Nott hissed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stupefy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell struck the shadowy figure—then pierced straight through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nott hadn't expected his Stunning Spell to have such power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that person was completely unharmed—and even raised a wand. Nott froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stupefy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell hit him squarely, and Nott collapsed. Ron stared blankly as the shadowy figure vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Harry was running into trouble of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1769,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","67bd7133f7c8b8f152c4b342767cc0fe6509979623b7f9ff2816d0c3ce94e9ca","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-364","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-362",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
