With his left side still injured, going up against one in peak condition was far from promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to help,\" Harry said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron and the others nodded in agreement, raising their wands and charging into the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, John's earlier dragon's breath had left the Ministry hall full of wreckage, providing plenty of cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry ducked behind a crystalline mass reshaped by the intense heat, firing a spell at Lucius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius deflected it with a lift of his wand, his eyes sweeping the battlefield, searching for his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore, forced to divide his attention, now found his duel with Voldemort evenly matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was dire—the Aurors had been lured away by chaos elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant the Ministry itself had become a cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of ten Death Eaters, Voldemort no longer intended to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could take down both Dumbledore and John in one stroke, then no one would remain to stop his rise to power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought filled Voldemort with such delight that he nearly burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I laugh at John Wick for being young, and at you, Dumbledore for being senile! Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't change anything. Today, only I can rewrite history.\" At Voldemort's command, the Death Eaters pressed harder, forcing several close calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Savior?\" Voldemort raised his wand, blasting apart the cover in front of Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without that prophecy, I can still rule the wizarding world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was forced to dash to the other side, Voldemort strolling leisurely behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore seized an opening and broke free from the Death Eaters' encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, summoning the witch statue to leap in and block Voldemort's attack. \"Stay inside, Harry,\" he ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius crossed paths with a familiar face—his own brother-in-law, Rodolphus Lestrange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two dueled fiercely, their spells carrying them farther and farther apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin engaged his old adversary, Drogon, the fight going back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stray spell struck Jörgen's mask, knocking it off and revealing a face Lupin thought he recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You…\" Lupin felt certain he'd seen that face before, likely back during his years at Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Petrificus Totalus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drogon immediately fired a curse, forcing Lupin's legs to snap together, locking him in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin had no choice but to clamp his mouth shut and roll aside to dodge the next Stunning Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione, Ginny, and Luna once again fought side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their opponent was a Death Eater named Gargson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny hurled a Blasting Curse, and Gargson countered with a streak of red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without protective charms, Hermione and Luna had to be especially cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the right moment, Luna cast a Levicorpus, yanking him upside down and slamming him into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione aimed at that spot and fired off a spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron charged in recklessly, shouting, with a Death Eater hot on his heels firing curses at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the crucial moment, Ron surprised even himself—he dove into a sliding tackle to dodge, and his wand leapt up on its own, firing a spell back at the pursuing Death Eater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater was blasted to the ground. Ron froze, staring at his wand in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wand was made from Whomping Willow wood—sensitive, aggressive, and unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was distracted, the Death Eater shot a Disarming Charm, sending Ron's wand flying from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without his wand, Ron let out a defiant roar, \"For Gryffindor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged forward, tackling the Death Eater to the ground, fists flying in a brutal, close-quarters brawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry wished he could rush out to help. He saw Hermione being ambushed, raised his wand, but his spell went wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voldemort and Dumbledore were already locked in a duel of clashing light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks crackled violently, scattering across the floor and burning small pits into the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry noticed a Death Eater sneaking up behind Dumbledore and shouted, \"Dumbledore, behind you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his warning, Dumbledore flicked his wand, redirecting the current of light as if cracking a whip in a circle around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater was struck, hurled backwards, and let out a shriek of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, Dumbledore—calm, composed, unshaken—even while facing Voldemort and his reinforcements, fought as though entirely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the lift rumbled to a halt. Out stepped Tonks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingsley and Moody were still needed to guard the Death Eaters below, so Tonks had come up to check the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had barely set foot inside when five spells blasted toward her, forcing her straight back into the lift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arg! What the hell?\" she muttered in confusion. \"Didn't we just finish off the Death Eaters? Where did all these come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had originally thought she'd come up to help deal with Bellatrix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it was clear—the battle above was anything but favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Tonks caught sight of Voldemort himself, her eyes nearly popped out of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was supposed to be a difficult rescue mission—yet somewhere along the way, the difficulty had been dialed up, the foot soldiers swapped for elites, and now the final boss had appeared on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to think. Tonks seized a chance, rolled out of the lift, and fired a white bolt of light at a Death Eater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blocked two spells in quick succession, but then a streak of silver light struck her in the abdomen, blood spilling heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urh.. Protego!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scrambled across the floor, barely managing to shield against another curse, her face pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Death Eater raised his wand, aiming directly at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, seeing this, panicked. He burst out from behind the witch statue and fired, \"Impedimenta!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eater crashed against an invisible barrier, blood streaming from his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Harry could cast a second spell, another curse slammed into him, hurling him backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Death Eaters were far stronger than the ones they had faced in the Department of Mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He caught sight of Barty Crouch Jr., with only one hand left, taking down Hermione, Ginny, and Luna all at once with just three spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was still brawling with a Death Eater, fists pounding. Thanks to Malfoy, he'd built up a decent resistance to getting beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to land the final punch, a heavy kick sent him rolling across the floor more than ten times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dizzy, he had just lifted his head when pain shot through his ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive black dog dragged him away—an instant later, the spot where he had been lying was blasted by a jet of green light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin, who had been holding his own against one opponent, suddenly found himself facing three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his deep mastery of defensive magic against the Dark Arts, he was quickly overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, three curses hit in succession—disarming, body-bind, and stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin collapsed to the ground, his fate unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry had barely managed to save Tonks when the tide of battle shifted against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed in anguish as he saw Sirius struck by a flash of silver light, howling as he went down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was caught in the blast and sent tumbling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scattered group was forced back together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Eaters closed in on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill Harry Potter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellatrix's left arm was completely petrified. Clutching her wand in her remaining hand, she glared fixedly at Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry felt a wave of helplessness. He gripped his wand tighter as the Death Eaters advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drogon, come with me to aid the Dark Lord,\" Lucius suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle's outcome seemed set, and his move was not unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rodolphus was more cautious. He turned to Barty Jr. and said, \"Barty, you come with me too. Leave the rest to the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over by the duel, Voldemort was still locked in combat with Dumbledore. Because of the Authority of Dominion, Dumbledore couldn't spare himself to save Harry for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barty Jr. nodded silently. He, Lucius, Drogon, and Rodolphus together went to reinforce Voldemort against Dumbledore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though none of them matched Dumbledore's strength, they could still provide support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their absence scarcely changed the balance—Bellatrix didn't care in the slightest. Mad laughter twisted her face as she hissed, \"No one can save you, little baby Potter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonks, clutching her bleeding stomach, drenched in sweat from the pain, stood resolutely at Harry's side with her wand raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius had shifted back into human form, though he looked even more battered than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Savior meets his end, ha ha…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared at the edge of the fray. Bellatrix turned toward it, and her face instantly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John strolled out from nowhere, smiling pleasantly as he looked at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harry, how about we make a deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked as if no one else were there. Harry froze in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wisp of black smoke flickered in John's eyes as he smiled. \"This plan is only missing you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the people standing beside Harry, his tone layered with meaning. \"So, what's your answer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree—just save them!\" Harry blurted without hesitation, not even asking what the deal entailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellatrix was nearly livid, furious at being ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill him!\" Her hatred for John reached its peak as she screamed hysterically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John snapped his fingers. \"Time to begin the plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1565,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","adc88edf98ee66b560a5b88a02f478737a3b005aa7e59f51e509da5fc77433e7","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-373","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-371",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
