Wherever it's dangerous, that's where you go. Are you sure you're a Hufflepuff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind stirred John's hair. He reached out, pinching a strand between his fingers and rubbing it lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feels like it's been a while since I last bathed,\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Grindelwald had you keep an eye on me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John turned his head. On the other side of the tower stood a tall, upright figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolfgang neither confirmed nor denied it. Holding his wand, he said calmly, \"He told me you're dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't cast a spell at my back just now. Is that confidence?\" John chuckled softly. \"You should listen to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps.\" Wolfgang leaned against the tower. \"As long as you don't leave this place, we're not enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? It's a bit cold here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John rubbed his hands together. \"Don't you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolfgang faithfully carried out Grindelwald's orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John looked up and muttered to himself, \"It's about to rain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Standing this high up in a storm isn't a wise choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\" Wolfgang raised his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, the sky had already darkened. Fierce winds swept through the heights, blowing Wolfgang's hat clean off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stood across from him, a faint smile on his lips. \"Watch out for lightning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave his wand a light flick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second—Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thunder roared from the sky, a bolt of white light struck the Eiffel Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flash split the night, illuminating Jacob's hurried steps through the cemetery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come to France with Newt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Newt and Tina went to the Ministry, he had seen traces of Queenie from a prophecy sphere belonging to Nicolas Flamel, the six-hundred-year-old man at the safe house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't wait any longer and came here alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, is it going to rain today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunder startled Jacob. The cemetery was already eerie, and now there was lightning on top of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling his coat tighter, he headed toward the Lestrange mausoleum, marked with a raven crest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He softly called out Queenie's name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Queenie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know that Nicolas Flamel's prophecy sphere had shown the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving no reply, he continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into a narrow space filled with shadows and stone coffins, a single lamp standing there alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Queenie, honey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took two steps forward, sensing someone approaching from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spun around sharply, only to find a wand already pressed against his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy there, buddy.\" Jacob slowly turned his head, and upon seeing the man, said in surprise, \"You?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person was Yusuf Kama, who had previously kidnapped Tina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been parasitized by a creature, and it was Newt who had helped remove it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Jacob at wandpoint, Kama slowly led him into the shadows in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob wanted to fight back, but had no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Credence slowly walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini stood beside him as they followed the directions to the Lestrange mausoleum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the magnificent tomb, statues of the deceased members of the Lestrange family lay in silent repose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is where…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence's eyes were fixed ahead, unblinking. The answer to the origins he had long sought… would he finally find it here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful!\" Nagini sensed danger at once. She transformed into a snake and hissed toward the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the darkness, Yusuf raised his wand, preparing to kill Credence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once been forced to make a vow, to kill the thing most precious to the Lestrange who had taken his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move! Get out of the way!\" Yusuf shouted as Nagini blocked him, making it impossible to aim. \"Then I'll have to kill you first, and then Corvus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, those who had escaped the Ministry with the Zouwu also arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leta had encountered Newt at the Ministry. While Newt and Tina were calming the Zouwu, she slipped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant she saw Yusuf, her thoughts fell into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the voice, Yusuf turned back, as if seeing his mother step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Leta, his half-sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That face looked so much like their mother's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it really you, my little sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt and Tina stepped inside, having noticed the disturbance here as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Credence, seeing this scene, fell into confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's your brother? Then who am I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had chosen Nagini, he still clung to the question of his origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leta looked at the boy everyone had mistaken for the last bloodline of the Lestrange family and shook her head with pity. \"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm tired of being nameless, without an identity.\" Credence stepped closer to Yusuf. \"Tell me where I come from, and then you can finish it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Credence!\" Nagini transformed back into her human form and blocked him, speaking earnestly. \"Have you forgotten what he told you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yusuf also lowered his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your origins lie in our past,\" Yusuf said, looking at Leta. \"Our fates are intertwined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a story that belonged to two families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kama and Lestrange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A story spanning two generations, centered around one woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the feud between their fathers, Mustafa Kama and Corvus Lestrange Sr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They became bound by an unending hatred because of Yusuf and Leta's shared mother, Laurena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grievance of having his wife taken, the vengeance for his mother's death. On his deathbed, his father forced Yusuf to make an Unbreakable Vow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the past was laid bare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the filth and ugliness of a great family were revealed when Leta opened that family tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree recorded only the males, while the females were marked as flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yusuf sought revenge, but Leta told him that Corvus Lestrange had long since died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had died in that shipwreck, caused by a single action of the young Leta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had swapped young Corvus with another baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the disaster struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two lifeboats, one carrying Leta, the other carrying the switched Corvus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waves crashed down, swallowing that lifeboat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone on that lifeboat perished, including the infant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the family tree, the branch marked for Corvus Lestrange was entwined with orchids, before ultimately withering and dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence had never expected the answer he sought to turn out like this. He was utterly despondent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina asked, \"Leta, do you know Credence's real identity? Did you know when you switched the babies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't.\" Leta looked at Credence with deep regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence stood there, lost and shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini held his hand tightly, worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, an opening appeared in the wall of the mausoleum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present stared at the staircase leading underground. From below came the rumbling voices of a large crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob walked over. \"Queenie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran down the steps, with Newt and Tina following after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leta glanced at Yusuf, then ran after Newt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yusuf hurried to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should go down,\" Credence said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grindelwald had gone to great lengths to bring them here. The obsession with his origins drove Credence forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini stayed by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below them lay an underground amphitheater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of witches and wizards gathered in one place, a sea of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Statues bearing the raven motif stood all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grindelwald's followers maintained order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them could only be swept along by the crowd, carried forward step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were pure-bloods, and it showed just how far Grindelwald's influence reached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if some pure-bloods did not support him, he could still gather thousands of them here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone here is a pure-blood wizard. They treat killing people like us as a game!\" Nagini sensed the danger and tried to pull Credence away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Credence kept moving forward, leaving Nagini no choice but to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them stood out completely among these wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her fear, she still refused to leave him behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob had found Queenie, but now that Queenie had come into contact with Grindelwald, she was stubbornly determined to stay and listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an Auror, Tina immediately realized it was a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt understood as well. Everything had been arranged to lure them here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were sealed off by Grindelwald's followers. There was no way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights dimmed, and the crowd began to cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grindelwald appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lestrange Mausoleum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So delaying me was your goal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John glanced around. \"Lestrange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had arrived earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had ostensibly already left, he had not shown himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Yusuf Kama about to make a move against Nagini, he had already taken out his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he hadn't needed to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a grand scene unfolding, he didn't believe the important Lestrange family had nothing to do with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter the era, the Lestranges are always detestable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning slightly, he headed down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1526,"2026-06-06T11:46:15.854Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8dc1c9b7967f70c97163e018bcf1690799b4bcad38e6145805137b5bf5d6cfb","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-556","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-554",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
