Harry was at the Ministry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stepped forward, though some force behind him kept trying to hold him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it touched the phoenix fire burning on his body, it recoiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think we'll meet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't sure who he was speaking to, but a smile tugged at his lips as he stepped out through the archway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harry, wait for me.\" Sirius had struggled for a long time, but at last he managed to push himself to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingsley was tending to his wounds with magic, and Tonks was waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione and Ron, worried for Harry, chased after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the mist dispersed, everything seemed to return to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sirius, behind you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonks looked up without thinking, her voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius froze.

He fought back the tears threatening to spill from the corners of his eyes and muttered, \"You never told me—you were Johnny Silverhand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John shrugged. \"I couldn't exactly tell you I was your godfather, could I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy's face darkened. He shouted, \"I never agreed to that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John raised a brow in surprise. \"If I hadn't refused, do you really think your words would've made a difference?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouch. That one stung—Malfoy looked like an utterly baffled puppy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, even in their teasing, their eyes shone only with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was truly back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy took out the golden cup and asked, \"What do we do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, we continue with our plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the dumbstruck Sirius, John added casually, \"Dumbledore should just about be facing his opponent by now. The Death Eaters here are basically dealt with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze back to Sirius, who still hadn't snapped out of it, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surprised, are you? I came back from death itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Constellations gathered around their king—the radiant star of Hogwarts—returned from the realm of the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry didn't know where the strength or courage came from, but he chased Bellatrix with everything he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Department of Mysteries, their pursuit carried all the way into the atrium of the Ministry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the same time, Voldemort received word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John Wick was dead.
