Yet Voldemort has come here, which means he no longer fears me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a battle whose outcome we cannot predict, but we have the power of unity and love—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore was still speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice rang through the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was high, cold, and unmistakably clear, coming from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you are preparing to resist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar voice made Harry's pupils contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione and Ron felt their hearts tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's useless, Dumbledore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voldemort's voice echoed through the air. \"You may look outside the castle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, the Heads of House exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall strode quickly to the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, a vast black mass could be seen outside—an overwhelming, terrifying number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the students saw it, they couldn't help but scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their numbers far exceeded those of Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your efforts are useless. You are not my opponents, and I do not wish to kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voldemort's voice continued to echo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you are willing to hand over what belongs to me, I hold great respect for the professors of Hogwarts. I do not wish to see wizard blood spilled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will wait until midnight. Remember my words, Dumbledore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire castle fell back into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy breathing followed, then the sound of sobbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore sighed and said calmly, \"Students will leave with Filch. We'll start with Slytherin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Slytherin students did not move. Malfoy glanced at Dumbledore, stood up, and said, \"Those below fifth year, don't get in the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, the Slytherin students began to rise one after another, but Astoria stayed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy's eyes flicked toward Theodore without drawing attention, then he turned to the upper-year Slytherins. \"Come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior Slytherin students stood and followed Malfoy. A Ravenclaw student complained, \"Don't act on your own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no reason to follow the orders of an idiot,\" Malfoy sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led his people out without looking back. Snape watched his actions without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filch led the other students away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry had no idea where Malfoy had taken that group of Slytherin students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from Slytherin, the younger students from the other three Houses had left, though some upper-year students had chosen to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the three Houses, almost all the upper-year Gryffindors remained, most of Ravenclaw had left, and about two-thirds of Hufflepuff stayed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all waiting for the battle that was about to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What frustrated Harry was that he felt he could do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he saw Neville leave the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His instincts told him that Neville was heading for the Constellation Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weasley twins had also arrived, bringing with them various products from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, which they were distributing to the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry stood behind George and asked, \"George, do you have any idea where—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" George said, as if he already knew what Harry was wanted to ask. He shook his head. \"Don't mention me. Even Tommy Shelby doesn't know where John is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like the reports said—he vanished into the volcano as if he'd evaporated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry's mood grew heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his dejection, Fred patted his shoulder and said solemnly, \"We can't give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slytherin common room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour remained before midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy led...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy led the group forward. After entering, he frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's Theodore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore Nott, who had originally been in the group, was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Pansy hadn't noticed when her boyfriend had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good riddance,\" Malfoy said to Daphne. \"Now we can use those things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne nodded and walked toward the dormitory that belonged to John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she opened it, a box flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, put them on,\" Malfoy said as he opened the box. Inside were various protective charms and Impact Rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each student could take a set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaise picked up an Impact Ring and slipped it onto his finger, unable to help saying, \"This is cool. Where did John even get these?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goyle and Crabbe were about to take one as well when Malfoy kicked them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two wear this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out two pieces of chainmail-like armor from the box and threw them at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They picked them up and put them on. All they lacked now was a helmet, and they could pass for warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two were hopeless at spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time came to fifteen minutes before midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no one watching him, Theodore made his way to the Room of Requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked inside and opened a cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vanishing Cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done, child,\" Bellatrix said as she stepped out from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After it was closed again, a few seconds passed before it opened once more, and another person appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore's heart was in torment—he had betrayed Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My father will be fine, right?\" Theodore looked at Bellatrix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face seemed even uglier than before. A small green snake was coiled around her neck. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not at all opposed to giving the boy more motivation to serve, Bellatrix fixed her gaze on the Vanishing Cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a group of newly recruited Death Eaters arrived at Hogwarts ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the moment drew near, they filed out of the Room of Requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's make a mess of it!\" Bellatrix laughed maniacally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group poured out one after another, and Theodore was knocked to the ground in the crush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small green snake silently crawled up from his robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An explosion rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The already tense Hogwarts descended into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall hadn't expected them to infiltrate Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defenses that had been set up earlier became useless in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone immediately entered combat mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the leadership of the professors and members of the Order of the Phoenix, the students launched their counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the dark creatures and wizards outside the castle made their move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Sprout led the students in throwing Mandrakes, their piercing screams causing many creatures to collapse unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banshees responded with equally terrifying shrieks, but fortunately, the students were wearing earmuffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statues and suits of armor launched their assault on the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assembled wizards came from all over the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, Voldemort had been recruiting forces relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His identity as the Dark Lord, combined with the crimes he had committed in various countries, attracted a group of deranged criminals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stupefy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red beam struck a wizard, but a layer of Shield Charm appeared around him, deflecting the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin's expression changed. \"It's protective charms!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly warned everyone, only to see the students' attacks blocked by Shield Charms. The enemy grew increasingly reckless, and soon a number of students were injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weasley twins joined the battle, throwing out all kinds of gadgets from their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius rode Buckbeak down from the sky, transforming into a large black dog midair and sprinting forward, pouncing on a wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick each encountered their own opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were people with Asian features—individuals Voldemort had recruited from Asia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape searched everywhere for Voldemort while quietly slipping into the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't sure whether Voldemort still trusted him as a double agent, so he didn't dare to act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slughorn also joined the fight. Before the battle began, he had taken a sip of Felix Felicis, causing spells aimed at him to veer off at strange angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield was split into several areas. Mr. Weasley and Kingsley were clearing enemies near the Astronomy Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a corridor, Lupin intercepted a werewolf who was chasing students. His expression turned grave. \"It's you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pack of bloodthirsty werewolves from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wasted no words and leapt toward Lupin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonks appeared from behind and fired spells at the werewolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were simply too many people who had come to Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a few exceptionally talented ones, students were naturally no match for adult wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, those wizards were equipped with protective charms, widening the gap even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to collapse was Professor Sprout's team—their throwing attacks were targeted and neutralized by the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Sprout ordered the students to retreat while she herself blocked the wizards' attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But outnumbered and outmatched in equipment, she found herself in grave danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting while retreating, they withdrew into the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entrance hall, the Hufflepuff students saw their Head of House being surrounded and attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to rush forward to help, multiple flashes of light appeared in the corridor leading to Slytherin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Sprout turned back and saw the Slytherin students emerging in perfect formation, fully equipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, follow me,\" Malfoy said, temporarily taking over the command of Slytherin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This squad, equipped with the full set of Silverhand gear, successfully forced the wizards in the entrance hall back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce battle continued. Harry used a Levicorpus to take a wizard out of the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a tremor began to approach, growing stronger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of giants were charging toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front, the leading giant wore a golden helmet and wielded various terrifying wooden clubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1564,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.362Z",1,"novelbin.me","b961458aee98ca44ce27057623943d5a7fa097071c71b9aa696ea92c578ff1d4","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-492","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-490",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
