Aside from occasionally doing something foolish, in moments like this he was the one who could stay composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can't just sit here and wait for them to find us. Quick, away from this door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry knew very well that if he were caught, that would put his friends in true danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he wasn't captured, the Death Eaters wouldn't dare kill his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crept forward as quietly as they could. Passing by a glittering, bell-shaped glass dome, Harry noticed the little birds inside chirping away. They hadn't turned back into eggshells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oddity flickered across his mind for an instant, but he didn't dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hurried toward the circular exit on the far side of the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to reach it, a crash came from the door being slammed shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alohomora!\" a harsh voice barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door flew open, and Harry yanked Hermione down under a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beneath it, he could see the hems of the Death Eaters' robes drawing closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Hermione gripped their wands tightly, nerves stretched taut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They probably ran straight into the Hall.\" It was the same rough voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Check under the tables.\" Another voice, more cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Death Eaters bent their knees, and Harry and Hermione struck at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wands shot out from under the table. \"Stupefy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twin red beams flashed; one Death Eater couldn't dodge in time and was blasted backward into a tall grandfather clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head struck the clock, and both crashed down together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Death Eater, more alert, leapt aside to avoid Hermione's curse. He raised his wand and aimed at Hermione as she scrambled out from beneath the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Avada K—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aah!!\" With a furious roar, Harry lunged forward along the floor, wrapped his arms around the Death Eater's knees, and yanked him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tumbled into a struggle on the ground. Hermione crawled out faster, wand aimed at the two figures thrashing together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking quickly, she shouted, \"Expelliarmus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both wands flew from their hands. Hermione immediately cried, \"Harry, hold him down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry obeyed at once, switching from fighting to pinning the Death Eater in a tight grip. Stripped of his wand and unable to break free, the Death Eater exposed his upper body—Hermione seized the chance and hit him with a Stunner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red beam struck the Death Eater, and he collapsed instantly, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haah.. Nice work, Hermione.\" Harry looked worse for wear—fighting a grown man at fifteen had left his nose crooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Accio wand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione retrieved his wand and tossed it back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Episkey.\" She cast the healing charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ow.\" With a sharp crack, Harry's broken nose snapped back into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed at it, half-convinced he'd end up with a crooked nose like Dumbledore's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting another second, they sprinted toward the circular exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red beam shot from behind and struck Hermione, only to be blocked by a shield charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Harry glanced back—the Death Eater who had fallen was awake again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione's Stunning Spell hadn't been strong enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splinters rained down on her shoulders, but Harry didn't hesitate. He roared, \"Stupefy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His magic was stronger than Hermione's, but the Death Eater ducked aside. The red light slammed into a glass cabinet instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside were all kinds of hourglasses. The cabinet crashed to the ground, shattered—only to rebound against the wall two seconds later, whole again, and topple over once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cycle of shattering and restoring went on endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and the Death Eater fired red beams back and forth, blasting apart whatever they struck in the Hall of Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione joined the fight, and together they forced the Death Eater back against a bell-shaped glass dome. Harry's spell hit the man squarely in the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he fell, his head struck the dome and sank into it, as though he had plunged into a bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their horror, before their eyes, the head began to shrink rapidly, growing younger and younger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's time…\" Hermione whispered in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater stirred, his head now that of an infant. His mind seemed to have regressed as well—he flailed his tiny hands helplessly against the air around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry raised his wand to strike again, but Hermione grabbed his arm, stopping him. She couldn't let him harm a baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouts and pounding footsteps echoed from the Hall of Prophecy—Harry realized instantly they'd been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seized Hermione and dashed for the great black door on the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Death Eaters burst into the Hall of Time just in time to glimpse their retreating figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Hermione veered into a pitch-dark, cluttered little office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had barely shut the door when it burst open again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impedimenta!\" two voices rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was blasted across the room, while Hermione stared in shock—completely unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Shield Charm had triggered, leaving the two Death Eaters stunned for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them struck mercilessly, raising his wand and roaring, \"Avada K—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry's head spun from the impact, stars bursting in his vision, but when he saw this scene he let out a desperate shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater smirked triumphantly, wand aimed straight at Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghh—\" His throat suddenly seized, the sound cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry quickly fired a Body-Binding Curse, blasting him backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Death Eater whipped his wand, a red flash streaking toward Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reacted in time, tried to block it, but was still knocked off her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet again, the red light bounced harmlessly away—her Shield Charm saved her yet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many Shield Charms do you have?\" the Death Eater muttered, baffled. He hadn't seen her lift her wand once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing her aching elbow from the fall, Hermione glared and snapped, \"None of your business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Petrificus Totalus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry took the straightforward route—he answered with a spell. The Death Eater stiffened, frozen, and toppled onto the one already lying there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That thing just now—he couldn't speak. Was that you?\" Harry asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione frowned. \"I don't know. I didn't do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tugged a wooden tag from the waistband of her trousers. \"This was the last one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Harry asked as they made their way toward the circular hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John gave it to me. A protective charm.\" Hermione's thoughts flickered back to John again, wondering if his illness had recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Hermione, we need someone to sound the alarm,\" Harry said seriously. \"I need you to go. Their target is me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione knew that against Death Eaters, people like them were almost laughable. Hearing Harry speak this way, she suddenly felt as though the boy had grown up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you take this, Harry.\" She handed him the last protective charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pushed open the door and stepped into the circular hall—just as another door swung open. Out came Luna and Ginny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another door opened, and Ron stumbled out, dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everyone gathered, why hesitate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're all here. Let's run!\" Harry said with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only needed to find the door with the mark to know which one it was. But when he looked up—every single mark on the surrounding doors had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unluckily, a door across from them burst open and Death Eaters charged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There they are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen red beams shot toward them, and Harry and the others scattered in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dashed through the nearest door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streaks of red light whizzed after them, leaving no chance to fight back. Looking up, they realized they'd run into the Brain Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several doors lined the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seal the doors!\" Harry shouted, firing a spell at the one behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others quickly followed his lead. By the time they reached the fifth door, Luna stepped forward to cast the spell—but instead, the door swung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red curse hit her square in the chest, slamming her onto a desk where she lay motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luna!\" Ginny screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five Death Eaters stormed in. Lucius leveled his wand at Ginny, sent a red bolt flying, and she collapsed before she could dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get Potter!\" Lucius commanded, and all of them surged toward Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Ron was struck by a spell and went flying, landing face-first on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione's gaze fell on the grotesque floating brains. Taking a desperate gamble, she shouted, \"Accio brains!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hermione, no!\" Harry tried to stop her, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless brains shot out of the green liquid, tentacles writhing from them so menacingly that even the Death Eaters didn't dare touch them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione ducked out of the way of one brain just in time, and the two of them bolted for the only door left unlocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were almost there—when two red beams blasted from behind, striking them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry's Shield Charm flared, blocking his curse, but Hermione was hit and went down hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hermione!\" Harry reached out to grab her, but the Death Eaters were already closing in. He had no choice—clutching the prophecy orb, he dove through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Death Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stumbled and fell, tumbling down step after step until he crashed into the pit at the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry gasped, struggling to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart pounded so violently it felt like a balloon about to burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging himself up onto the stone dais in the pit, he saw Death Eaters filing in after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few of them dragged his captured friends along, forcing them to their knees. Lucius Malfoy steadied his breathing before speaking smoothly, almost leisurely. \"Potter, you're finished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing out his words, he said, \"Hand me the prophecy orb, and do it nicely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let the others go, and I'll give it to you!\" Harry shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His demand drew mocking laughter from the Death Eaters. Even Lucius couldn't keep a straight face, chuckling twice before sneering, \"Do you really think you're in a position to bargain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius mocked, \"Has Dumbledore's teaching left you unable to count? Foolish child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1720,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","dd5e0cc9dbbc2c7719d49035879fdc4e52355d4a3dfab0fe1809a017e7ed7642","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-365","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-363",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
