So what could have made her set that wisdom aside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or to put it another way, what could be worth the proud eagle abandoning the wisdom she pursued?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ravenclaw had spent her whole life chasing wisdom, as shown by the diadem she left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to believe that such a person would fall in love to the point of giving up wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gilderoy, you have done me a favor.\" John leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping the tabletop absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lockhart had not decided to change his style and write a book about love set in romantic Paris, John probably would never have thought of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, thinking it was one thing. Carrying it out was another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, John declared that he had not fallen in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, where was he supposed to find such a person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wise men do not fall in love.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John felt this condition seemed full of difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped out the door. In the common room his gaze swept across Daphne, who was sitting on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne was glaring fiercely at the large window in the Slytherin common room, or more precisely, at the person standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Asto, let's go to the Black Lake another day,\" Malfoy declared with a grand wave of his hand. \"I'll get a small boat and we can row on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astoria blinked, smiling sweetly. \"All right, thank you, Draco.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy lifted his head, a proud expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He secretly glanced at the distance between himself and Astoria, then his sinful right hand crept toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Astoria's clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the layer of fabric, Malfoy felt extremely excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He applied slight pressure with his right hand, making the loose school robe cling to Astoria's skin and outline the shape of her slender waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy's mind was racing at this moment, and his breathing grew rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astoria did not resist. Instead, she leaned toward Malfoy naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closer, closer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy seemed to catch the pear blossom scent on Astoria, and his heart beat rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell on Astoria's pink cherry lips. In his mind appeared the kiss from last year in the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That soft touch was even softer and sweeter than cotton candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Asto.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy's voice was low and full of affection as he looked at Astoria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was John who stepped in to save him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am only seventeen! I just wanted to kiss someone. What did I do wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John looked at him in silence, then quietly took a step to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne, who had finally been restrained behind him, immediately drew her wand at the sight. Frightened, Malfoy quickly pulled John back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really don't know how to keep a low profile,\" Blaise said, shaking his head with a sigh. \"Some things you could just do secretly while on a date. Everyone knows Daphne can't stand this sort of thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a certain mentality that if I cannot have it, no one else can either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in Slytherin knew who Daphne liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been secretly in love all this time with probably the smartest person inside Hogwarts, but also the densest as a bloke in matters of love, and here was this shameless guy, openly being affectionate with her sister right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Daphne who had been drenched by the rain could not bear to see Malfoy like this. She had to tear up his umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy immediately became unhappy and shouted, \"You trash who chased Ginny Weasley for a whole year without success obviously don't understand that open and bold love is the best!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaise clutched his chest and staggered back, his fists tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, he really wanted to beat him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you bastard. If I speak up for you again, you might as well let Daphne kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Blaise charged forward as if facing death. He locked Malfoy from behind and roared, \"Daphne, fire at me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red light shot out and sent both of them flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slytherin common room was in complete chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, John chose to take Malfoy out for a walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they stayed any longer, he suspected Malfoy would not only be attacked by Daphne, but soon the rest of Slytherin would join the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy was still muttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clearly Astoria and I are in a normal relationship. She's just jealous. Who told her to be in love with a...\" He stopped there and glanced at John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John glanced back at Malfoy and suddenly asked, \"What do you think could make you give up something you've always pursued?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pursued?\" Malfoy was stunned. He thought carefully. \"How could there be such a thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think so too.\" John nodded. The problem seemed to remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them strolled along the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filch, furious at hearing young wizards out after curfew, stormed into view. But when he saw who it was, he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening, John.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening. The moonlight is nice tonight. I saw Mrs. Norris on the other side earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that naughty little one is getting more and more energetic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John smiled and nodded at Filch. Filch returned the greeting and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy was ignored along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy said in surprise, \"You're the only one who can make Filch act like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean? He's a good guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have no idea. To the students, he's even scarier than ghosts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John replied casually, \"Only those who break the rules are afraid of Filch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Malfoy's expression turned strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren't they breaking the rules right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you heard that rumor?\" Malfoy said as they walked along the corridor bathed in moonlight. He always managed to gather a lot of information around the school somehow. \"The King of Hogwarts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They see you as their leader. It's what you deserve.\" Malfoy said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John raised his hand, letting his fingers pass through the cool moonlight, and chuckled softly. \"This is only the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them wandered around the school. At least until Daphne calmed down, Malfoy did not dare to go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, they arrived at the Ravenclaw Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many paintings on the walls of the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lumos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy waved his wand. The light caused the sleeping figures in the paintings to complain one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Malfoy maliciously glared at several knights in one painting and said fiercely, \"Why can't I sleep, but you can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights picked up their weapons, shouting that they would teach the arrogant brat a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are just a bunch of moving paint.\" Malfoy deliberately moved his wand light closer, forcing the knights to flee into other paintings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those paintings could come out, Malfoy would definitely be attacked by the whole group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Malfoy moved too vigorously and knocked over a picture frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like dominoes, the paintings hanging on the wall fell one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before they hit the ground, all the paintings floated up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John raised his left hand with a speechless look. \"Draco, don't take your anger out on the paintings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, about to hang them back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the corner of his eye he spotted a landscape painting without any figures, and his movements stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a tranquil riverside scene, empty of animals or people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was quite rare. Apart from the occasional wind that appeared inside, there was nothing else in that painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the person in that painting?\" John beckoned, and one of the portraits flew over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, the figure inside was an acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir Cadogan, the fool who had once let Sirius into Gryffindor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean that one?\" Sir Cadogan proudly lifted his head and declared righteously, \"I don't know. I only know it has been there for a very long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very long? How long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard from the Fat Lady that it has existed since Hogwarts first appeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your help, Sir Cadogan.\" John nodded slightly at Sir Cadogan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir Cadogan greatly admired him and said, \"You are much better than that skunk boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skunk boy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed even the paintings knew Malfoy's nickname.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward that unique painting and examined it closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(*￣▽￣*)ブSupport and Read 12 Chapters ahead: Patreon\u002FDragonel\u003C\u002Fp>",1424,"2026-06-06T11:46:15.854Z",1,"novelbin.me","5c1bc5fa806dd519dbd6ac11bcb7de9292751542bc32d2b2e2b612146209a268","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-577","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-575",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
