After confirming it was a Murtlap bite, he plucked a few leaves from a nearby plant, crushed them, and applied the paste to the injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured out several tablets from a bottle and handed them to Jacob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob stared at the medicine suspiciously for a moment. After thinking it over, he figured he had nothing to lose anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resigned, he swallowed the tablets and watched as Newt took some meat from a rack and chopped it into large pieces on the cutting board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt was preparing to check on the magical creatures that had gone missing, and at the same time feed the animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had brought Jacob down because he felt Jacob wasn't a bad person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That proved to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with all sorts of strange and unusual things, Jacob showed no disgust—only amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the neighboring open plain, the Thunderbird stirred up a heavy rain. John, in dragon form, leaned against a rock, half-closing his eyes as he read a small newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm… Grindelwald.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the familiar name, John murmured thoughtfully, \"Looks like the future hasn't changed. Grindelwald is still the same Grindelwald, stirring up revolution in Europe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His earlier concern had been unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally intended to erase the memories of three people, yet Grindelwald had escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Newt's back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the Thunderbird slowly descend—Newt had probably come down to check on the missing magical creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one who can handle an Obscurus… Newt Scamander is more capable than I thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the Obscurus Newt had contained, John knew it was a form of dark energy within young wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Obscurus in Newt's possession was extremely weak, likely because its host had already died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another Obscurial dead…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stared at the newspaper, then blew lightly. The paper floated back toward Newt's little house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt's voice calling out to the Graphorn echoed in the distance. John propped his head up with one hand, idly scraping at the rock beneath him with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed that Newt would definitely come looking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as a fire dragon capable of understanding human language, the intelligence he had displayed would surely prompt Newt to ask questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob was feeding the Mooncalves on Newt's behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the adorable little creatures, he was certain now that he wasn't dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His imagination simply couldn't come up with things like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat up, little ones, go on, eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He genuinely loved the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a cold voice echoed nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you hear that?\" Jacob instinctively turned to ask Newt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Newt was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the curtain separating the areas flutter open, revealing a snow-covered landscape beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawn in, Jacob stepped into the snowy scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared intently at the mass of black substance, which continuously emitted an unstable, turbulent energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob slowly reached out his hand. Just as he was about to touch it, Newt abruptly stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step back,\" Newt said sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by Newt's sudden appearance, Jacob jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt repeated firmly, \"Step back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that thing?\" Jacob asked, unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said, step back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly is it?\" Jacob retreated, still shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt looked toward it and said, \"That's an Obscurus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob keenly noticed something off in Newt's expression—a pained, contemplative look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to go,\" Newt suddenly turned and strode toward another area. \"We have to find the escaped creatures before they get hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob followed behind him, confused. \"Before they get hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled his house being smashed apart, and the bite wound on his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lighthearted atmosphere vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Mr. Kowalski.\" Newt led Jacob through a forest. \"You must understand, they're in unfamiliar territory, surrounded by millions of the most ruthless creatures…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at a rocky area. A vast expanse of black filled their view. Newt said, \"Humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a breath of relief. The most dangerous one hadn't escaped—what incredible luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob hurried after him, about to catch his breath, only for it to catch in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the mass of black before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a shocked tone, he asked, \"What is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A dragon,\" Newt replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing below it, the black presence seemed as though it could swallow everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had dealt with dragons on the Eastern Front during the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this dragon surpassed everything he knew. Its massive size was unparalleled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it possessed an astonishing level of intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob quickly followed. Seeing Newt stop, he stopped as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them stood before the black dragon like ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" Newt waved his hand, calling out loudly to get John's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive rock shifted slightly as the black dragon responded to the call, sitting upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob slowed his breathing, whispering as quietly as possible, \"Are you sure it won't eat us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not,\" Newt replied softly, then raised his voice, \"It's me—Newt Scamander.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I remember you, Newt.\" John looked down at the two of them from above and chuckled. \"We haven't been apart for long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That put Newt at ease—this didn't seem to be an ill-tempered dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob, on the other hand, was completely stunned. It was already terrifyingly large, and it could talk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John looked at the frozen Jacob with interest, his voice rumbling as he spoke, \"And you, gentleman—what's your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\" Jacob pointed at himself, swallowed hard, and said nervously, \"My name is Jacob Kowalski.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kowalski?\" The name sounded familiar to John. \"Nice to meet you, Jacob.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you, sir.\" Jacob instinctively responded as if greeting a superior officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to call me sir.\" John shifted a rock casually and said, \"Just call me the Shadow of Destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The… Shadow of Destruction?\" Jacob wasn't sure that name sounded friendly at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh… Shadow of Destruction, I wanted to ask—have you seen any animals escape?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the owner of the case, Newt naturally knew which creatures were missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still wanted to confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite a few tried to run. I stopped most of them.\" Resting his chin on a dragon claw, John thought for a moment and said, \"That Graphorn got away, along with the Demiguise—and of course, that troublesome Niffler. Sorry, I was asleep when it happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My God, I like him,\" Jacob declared. In his eyes, this was no longer a terrifying black dragon, but a refined British gentleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt smiled and said gratefully, \"Thank you for your help, Shadow of Destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the name was a bit strange, John's manner and conduct made him easy to like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By preventing a greater disaster, he had earned Newt's gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he knew which creatures had escaped, he had a direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to Jacob, the local, Newt asked, \"In your opinion, a medium-sized creature that prefers open plains, trees, and water—where would it go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In New York?\" Jacob asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Newt nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plains?\" Jacob thought for a moment, concentrating. Then he suddenly brightened. \"Ah—Central Park.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing this No-Maj along was clearly the right decision for Newt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where exactly is that place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's Central Park?\" Jacob paused, as if he had just heard a very funny joke. Then he remembered—this man wasn't from New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, I'd be happy to take you there,\" Jacob spread his hands. \"But don't you think that's a bit… two-faced?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said with some agitation, \"Those ladies took us in—and even made hot cocoa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt glanced at him and snapped the lovestruck soldier out of his daze. \"The moment they see you stop sweating, they'll use a Memory Charm on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's a Memory Charm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like waking up from a dream—every memory of magic in that dream will vanish completely.\" The words didn't come from Newt, but from above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John watched their conversation; seeing people from this angle was rather interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob looked around blankly and said, \"I won't remember any of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around again. This incredibly strange world—he couldn't even dream up a place like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt nodded. \"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer, both cruel and honest, left Jacob stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, fine. I'll help you,\" Jacob said, changing his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt picked up the bucket used for feeding the Graphorn and turned to leave with Jacob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Jacob.\" John's voice made him stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I rather like you too,\" John rested his head on the rock and said meaningfully, \"If you need help, you can come find me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Th-thank you, Mr. Shadow of Destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob still found the name a bit hard to say, hurrying off afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John waved at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That chubby fellow was quite likable. He kinda reminded John of his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he were a wizard, he'd definitely be a Gryffindor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like his old man—both of them had that Gryffindor streak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1466,"2026-06-06T11:46:12.863Z",1,"novelbin.me","eec012986237d8730e4fcdafca4e26a02b1dd1d779760e887638f8ccd44306e5","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-536","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-534",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
