For months, he had believed he'd been abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John shrugged and let out a soft chuckle. \"A custom-made gift for you delayed me a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a gift box in his hand, he sent it flying toward Credence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence caught it and opened it. Inside was a dark crimson suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should leave.\" John tilted his head slightly, sensing someone outside putting out the fire. He waved his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden flames transformed into a fiery tornado, enveloping the entire tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John walked toward the two of them and slowly extended his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with me, Nagini, Credence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was focused and gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini didn't know why, but those eyes stirred in her an instinctive urge to trust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence stared at John blankly. \"You didn't abandon me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I keep my promises,\" John said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence tightened his grip on Nagini's hand. His fingers trembled for a moment, but in the end, he reached out and took John's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John smiled faintly, and the golden flames suddenly contracted. Enveloping them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina Apparated outside and waved her wand, trying to extinguish the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fire was as terrifying as Fiendfyre. Anything it touched was instantly reduced to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circus crates burst open, and a malnourished Zouwu, its body covered in signs of abuse, ran out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The house-elves were driven out, the flames refusing to harm them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they burned away every chain and cage that had bound the magical creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Hippogriff broke free, beating its wings as it shot up into the air and out through the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skender was still bleeding, forced to watch helplessly as everything belonging to the circus was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ordered his workers to salvage what they could, but before they could even get close, the flames drove them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, the fire rapidly contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it shrank into a tiny point and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast circus was left with nothing but a Kappa soaking in a bathtub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames that hadn't yet died out burned a line of words into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lowly wizard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight nearly made Skender faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina stood there in a daze as she walked over. Seeing the line of words, she asked Skender, \"How much do you know about the person who was with the Maledictus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's looking for his mother. All of my monsters think they can go home,\" Skender said blankly, unable to accept the blow. \"It was him. He destroyed my circus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to bear it any longer, he fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The employees hurriedly carried him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina remained where she was, watching as the words slowly faded, leaving the mark of \"lowly wizard\" scorched into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark-skinned man appeared behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina reacted at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside an abandoned building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three figures appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John frowned, his gaze toward Credence filled with dissatisfaction. \"This is the safe house you found?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence replied meekly, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There isn't even a proper bed here, just a pile of crates. How is Nagini supposed to sleep?\" John shot Credence a glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini and Credence exchanged looks, and she said softly, \"I don't need a bed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do.\" John left no room for refusal and waved his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With masterful Transfiguration, the crates turned into a soft bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a table, chairs…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a grand magic show, items appeared one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's the one you were talking about?\" Nagini whispered to Credence. \"Didn't you say he was cold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" Credence wasn't sure either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few months, had John changed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know that a king never treated his friends poorly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden kindness made Credence uneasy. He said, \"We can go find her. I found the one who sent me to Second Salem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow,\" John said calmly, leaning by the window. \"No need to rush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, John sniffed the air and frowned in distaste. \"You smell worse than a Niffler. How many days has it been since you last bathed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence sniffed himself as well, confused. \"Is it really that bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. Remember this,\" John said as he walked toward Credence. \"You're going to find someone, not beg on the streets. Pity won't help you. Take a bath, shave, and get yourself in proper shape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides…\" Tilting his head toward Nagini, John added, \"this lady needs a new dress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn't you agree, Credence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence looked at Nagini, and Nagini looked back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met, with *** missing a white-haired figure in between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stared at Credence and said, \"Don't you think you should step aside when a lady is bathing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there's no place to bathe here…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence had just begun to protest when John waved his wand. A bathtub appeared, followed by several wooden boards that dropped down and formed a screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright then. Credence suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like Nagini was the one who had truly made a deal with John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A night passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini had never imagined that one day she would wake up on a soft bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all felt unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and touched the mattress, soft as cotton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's made of feathers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John appeared by the window and greeted her, \"Good morning, Nagini.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's Credence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's downstairs, shaving in front of a mirror.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jumping in through the window, John asked, \"What would you like to eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do we… know each other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini hesitated for a moment before asking her question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John paused, unsure how to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, he asked, \"Do you really want to know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be something very important. Nagini could sense the weight in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded. \"If I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a price,\" John said, walking over and placing a dress down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the bed, he looked into Nagini's eyes and said seriously, \"A very heavy price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy price?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As serious as burning down the circus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can tell you this. I won't harm you, Nagini.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John spoke in a low voice, \"I burned the circus because they insulted you. You are my friend, and my friends should not be humiliated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a conviction in his voice that made it easy to believe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've never been a good person. I won't hide it from you. Yesterday, what I wanted to burn wasn't just the tent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smile a little more, Nagini.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stood up and walked toward the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence, who had been eavesdropping there, was caught on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He avoided John's gaze in a fluster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Credence,\" John called out to him, \"haven't your family always been by your side?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence looked upstairs. Nagini, who was about to change into her dress, seemed to sense something and turned to look down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are the family you acknowledge yourself really worth less than that bit of blood relation?\" John said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence fell into confusion as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to go upstairs, John pulled him back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't peek!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small bird chirped noisily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence fed it crushed birdseed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini walked down after changing into her dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her snakeskin outfit had been replaced with a light blue long dress. The hem fell just right, revealing a glimpse of her pale ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence had also changed into that dark crimson outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the collar, three stars were embroidered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome man and a beautiful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Credence, I hope you find your family,\" John said as he handed over his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not coming with me?\" Credence paused for a moment before taking the wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John shook his head. \"This is your family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he was still wary that his involvement might cause something to go wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the visions he had seen in the time flash, Jacob would also appear in Paris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your emotions under control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that final reminder, John watched the two of them leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they disappeared into the distance, a figure slowly emerged from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handing over your wand… you're unexpectedly bold, Yorl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low, heavy voice, carrying a sense of remembrance for someone familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grindelwald gazed deeply at John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, with a simple wave of his wand, John would not be able to escape the grasp of this Dark Lord of a generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? You think you can control me?\" A faint smile curved at John's lips. \"Gael.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than twenty years had passed. He had grown old, yet the old acquaintance before him remained as young as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of amazement appeared in Grindelwald's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you do it, Yorl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do what… remain ageless?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious Yorl, the ability to resist aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either of those was enough to stir Grindelwald's curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic. Just a kind of magic, Gael,\" John said, glancing toward Wolfgang, who had appeared outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you have other plans for Credence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been here before Credence left, yet they hadn't made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was already speculating about Grindelwald's true intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1509,"2026-06-06T11:46:15.854Z",1,"novelbin.me","c062323400753c6158556481b0384b8043ee47010df5eee4c981d3446a006bb1","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-552","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-250",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
