This was her first time inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob reassured her, \"It's fine. That's the Shadow of Destruction, a dragon that likes to help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered the favor from John's claw. Without it, he would have been crushed to death by the Erumpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Shadow of Destruction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie was both curious and amazed, murmuring, \"This is the largest dragon I've ever seen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, little guy, time to come down,\" Jacob coaxed the Demiguise clinging tightly to him, then turned back to John with a grin. \"I think you scared it a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not just a little scared,\" John said, staring at the Demiguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demiguise burrowed into its nest and refused to come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie, full of curiosity, stepped closer to John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, who's going to introduce me to this lovely lady?\" John's gaze swept over the wand in Newt's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt placed the unfamiliar wand on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still needed to deal with a small dispute with his Bowtruckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like my wand worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stared at the wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie, who had been approaching John, suddenly stopped, looking up at him in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob walked over to her side, already used to it. \"It's pretty strange, right? A dragon that can talk. Is that rare where you're from too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but…\" Queenie's expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard a voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll take the wand and leave after they're gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie was certain that wasn't Newt or the others, nor anyone else present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice had come from the giant dragon in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob whispered, \"He's looking at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie snapped out of it, forcing a slightly unnatural smile. \"Hello, my name is Queenie Goldstein.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Queenie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John greeted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching her for a few seconds, John said, \"Has no one ever told you that entering someone else's mind without permission is rude?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie had been found out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John himself had let his guard down a little. He hadn't expected anyone to try to enter a dragon's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Legilimency?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry,\" Queenie stepped back, shrugging her shoulders awkwardly. \"I can't control it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A natural Legilimens?\" John said in surprise. \"That's quite a gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was easy to talk to, Queenie relaxed and smiled sweetly. \"Sometimes it can be a bit troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I imagine your school has books on that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, school?\" Jacob perked up at the mention of it. \"There's a school? A magic school? Here in America?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course there is, Ilvermorny,\" Queenie said proudly when mentioning her alma mater. \"It's the best magical school in the world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it isn't. The best magical school in the world is Hogwarts,\" Newt said, having temporarily made peace with the Bowtruckle as he sorted through some plants nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie crossed her arms. \"Nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina couldn't help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was getting along quite well here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I ask you something…\" Queenie hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to speak, looking at John. \"Your wand… what did you mean? And leaving…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wand? What wand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob was confused, and Newt looked equally puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John let out a sigh. \"I thought you'd hold back from asking. That would have saved some trouble, my dear Queenie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt turned to John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's massive body rose as he said, \"Exactly what it sounds like. I think it's time for us to part ways, Newt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Shadow of Destruction—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John lifted a hand, and the wand on the platform flew into his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at it thoughtfully. \"It's time for me to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mirage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, mist filled the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was completely concealed within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow of Destruction!\" Newt cried out in alarm and rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see that the massive figure had vanished into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible?\" Tina's eyes widened. \"How did he do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon disappearing right before their eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Newt!\" Jacob looked toward the plains and said, \"Something's not right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous crash split the air. The Thunderbird, Frank, shrieked as it shot into the sky, flapping its wings wildly. Its body turned black and gold, lightning flashing through its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Danger,\" Newt said, watching the Thunderbird closely, his expression troubled. \"It senses danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell over Brooklyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mass of black, twisted substance moved through the city's towering buildings, leaving destruction in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cars were sent flying, sidewalks shattered, buildings reduced to rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an Obscurus. An Obscurial had gone out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the top of a building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white-haired wizard stood atop the building, idly twirling a newly made wand in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white wand spun between his fingers as a breeze brushed past his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John looked at the raging black mass and said in surprise, \"An adult?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare for an Obscurial to live to that age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power it displayed was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A car was struck and sent flying, crashing toward where John stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John raised a hand and casually waved it, sending the car flying off in another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eight-year-old boy stood with his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rampaging Obscurial shattered a building, and debris came crashing down, threatening to bury them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it was about to hit the two children, the car John had deflected smashed into the falling rubble, knocking it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run, Steve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bucky, someone over there needs help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skinny boy spotted an injured woman and ran over to help her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other, sturdier boy, worried about his friend, hurried after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John had no idea that his casual motion had just saved lives that were to die in this world. With a light flick of his wand, he appeared on the rooftop of another building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up toward the opposite side. Beneath a large sign reading \"Squires,\" Newt and the others had also come out, witnessing the chaos caused by the Obscurial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirens blared, the entire city of New York already in an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt's expression turned grave. \"This is stronger than any Obscurial I've ever known.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was far from optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Statute of Secrecy was on the verge of collapse, wizards exposed in the heart of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous explosion echoed in the distance, and flames began to spread across the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt couldn't stand by and do nothing. He knew Obscurials were born out of desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to save that child. Entrusting the case to Tina as if leaving behind something precious, he pulled out his notebook from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I don't come back, take care of my creatures,\" Newt said, not daring to meet Tina's eyes. \"Everything you need to know is in here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Tina said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt looked toward the Obscurus, then turned back to those beautiful eyes, holding her gaze for a long moment. Everything was left unsaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt from the rooftop and Disapparated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Newt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina hurried after him, shoving the case into her sister's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie turned and passed it to Jacob, but Jacob grabbed her hand tightly, refusing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She read the thoughts in Jacob's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob's past in the war left Queenie deeply shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pair of star-crossed lovers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John had seen enough of the scene. He casually stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body plummeted rapidly, then vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he was already in Times Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Obscurus churned at one end of the square, its power growing even more violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Born from loneliness and abuse, layers upon layers of accumulated pain and suffering erupted all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flashes of red light roared within it. Amid the writhing mass, Credence's face could be faintly seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisted, anguished, isolated, sorrowful…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless emotions churned together, greatly amplifying the Obscurial's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wizard's strength was rooted in the mind. The more sensitive a person was, the greater their power tended to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's inside you, and you've survived this long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Credence, this is a miracle!\" Graves appeared on the street, shouting, \"You are a miracle! Come with me, just think of what we could achieve together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still trying to recruit Credence, but unfortunately, Credence's heart had already been shattered by Graves's earlier abandonment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does that guy look so much like a charlatan?\" John appeared atop a streetlamp, looking toward the man who had been knocked down by the Obscurial. He had to admit, there was something about him that he found particularly unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind an overturned car, Newt cautiously peeked out and spotted the mysterious wizard standing on the streetlamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina followed and hid behind a burning car, exchanging a glance with Newt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the boy from the Second Salem group. He's the Obscurial,\" Newt said to Tina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina had once been punished by MACUSA for helping that boy. Newt had seen that memory of hers through the pool during the execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he's not a child.. He should have died already..\" Tina said, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.. His power must be incredibly strong for him to have survived this long,\" Newt said with a sigh. \"It's extraordinary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Obscurus screamed again. Tina made her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Newt! Save that child!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Tina rushed toward Graves. She intended to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Graves was about to subdue the Obscurial, Tina interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, the Obscurus surged down the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt was about to follow when he looked up at the streetlamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired wizard was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1606,"2026-06-06T11:46:12.863Z",1,"novelbin.me","7941cb3dfa091cc890919f42488f79cfcc6017cdc9c002221fd83fb1951d83cd","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-542","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-540",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
