It requires not only finding materials but also patient crafting and waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived at Hagrid's hut, Lockhart happened to be pestering Hagrid, trying to show off his knowledge by teaching a magical creatures expert how to prevent water demons from getting into wells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John walked over and knocked on the door. Hagrid, relieved, hurried over to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart was still trying to sell Hagrid his book but froze upon seeing John enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Lockhart, I believe you have some textbooks to take care of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John glanced at Lockhart, giving him a reason to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart quickly nodded as if just remembering, \"Yes, yes, I almost forgot. Thank you, Mr. Wick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurried out as if chased by a dragon, leaving Hagrid puzzled. But with a friend visiting, Hagrid was delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John, I was just wondering when you'd come by. Everything you asked me to buy is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid pulled out a large bag of materials John had requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was invited to sit down, enjoying a cup of hot tea and rock cakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hagrid, do you know where I can find some oak trees? I need some oak resin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid waved his large hand and patted his chest, saying heartily, \"Of course, there's no place in the Forbidden Forest that I don't know. Wait a moment, and I'll get some for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Hagrid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid was always so enthusiastic. After agreeing, he headed towards the oak trees to get some resin for John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting, the wooden door was knocked again. It was Harry and his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John, you're here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing John, Hermione was pleasantly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was puzzled until he noticed Ron's pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, angry, said, \"It's Malfoy. He cursed Ron. We were hoping Hagrid might be able to help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, you're out of luck. Hagrid just stepped out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John let the trio inside and saw Ron looking miserable, as if he was about to vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's been hit with the same Curse he used on Malfoy that day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John had been reading a lot lately, practically every day. Seeing Ron's discomfort, he deduced it was theSlugulus Eructo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Hagrid returned and was even happier to see the trio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, take this. It'll be easier to throw up with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid handed an iron bucket to Ron. John approached Ron and said, \"Lift up your shirt and show your stomach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron looked bewildered, but Hermione and Harry quickly helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his shirt was pulled up, Ron's stomach was revealed, showing lumps that looked like small worms moving inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I can fix this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John pondered for a moment, then held his wand in his left hand and pointed it at Ron's stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evomam Immunditiam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white light hit Ron's stomach, making him feel as if he'd been punched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron grimaced, hugged the bucket tightly, and vomited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He expelled five or six slugs, finally feeling relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ohh! That was amazing, John! Where did you learn that spell?\" Hagrid asked, clapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John, keeping a straight face, said, \"Of course, in the library.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, he had learned it in the Gryffindor's secret room, where there were many strange curses and spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One particularly evil curse called the Blood Curse was inherited through bloodlines. Those afflicted could transform into a snake, known as a blood-cursed lycanthrope, and would eventually turn into a real snake over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made John very curious about what would happen if a blood-cursed lycanthrope were bitten by a werewolf, and how the two curses would interact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid had returned with the oak resin, and John decided not to stay any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed the materials Hagrid had bought into his small bag and bid farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be leaving now, Hagrid. Thanks again for your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid repeatedly said it was no problem. After John left, he remarked, \"John is the most talented young wizard I've ever met, just like Riddle. Ah! I should have not said that.. No, no, ehm, what I mean is you all are excellent too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the trio looking at him, he quickly waved his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Riddle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, don't mention that name!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid didn't want to bring up the past, and the trio exchanged looks, realizing that this name held a special significance for Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they didn't pursue the matter further. Although Hagrid was a bit of a blabbermouth, it was clear he didn't want to talk about this particular topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the Gryffindor Chamber of Secrets, John used a branch from the Whomping Willow to create the wand wood, then inserted a unicorn hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing this, John smoothed out the rough edges and soaked it in oak resin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oak is a magical wood; it's said to contain magical properties within. A wand soaked in oak resin would better align with its wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the repair, John gathered materials for alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered that crafting items accelerated the leveling up of his alchemy skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was no visible experience bar, he could feel the progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crafting a batch of items to be sold in Johnny Silverhand's shop, John returned to his dormitory and had Basil deliver them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop's business was still lukewarm, but its reputation was gradually spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tommy Shelby wrote a letter mentioning that some wizards in Knockturn Alley had peculiar ideas about Johnny Silverhand's shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John replied, advising him to handle it cautiously and preferably without alerting the Aurors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, the Aurors had been cracking down on Dark Arts items, and Johnny Silverhand's shop had a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John also told Tommy to start contacting a few werewolf friends; he was preparing for a big move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damocles had already been notified by the Order of Merlin about the award ceremony, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was set to receive the First Class Order of Merlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcement would be made public sometime between October and Christmas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the reply, John left the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had promised to let Lockhart stay at the school, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving under the Whomping Willow, he froze the Whomping Willow and entered the passage. The cabinet in the Shrieking Shack was still there, and John moved it away with a levitation spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was time for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, students were surprised to find John standing next to the podium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the disastrous last class. After some reflection, I realized that overly novel teaching methods are not suitable for Hogwarts, so I have decided it is time to show my true skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart never wrote a draft for his boasts. Flashing a bright smile, he said,\"Mr. John Wick is the assistant I invited. He will be responsible for some assistance in teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Of course, he has already been familiar with it under my guidance in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at John in disbelief. John rolled his eyes. This Lockhart was really good at acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the cabinet covered with cloth, revealing a cabinet that Neville felt familiar with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart, with a confident smile, said, \"Now, everyone line up. We are about to start a great and lively lesson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart had a knack for stirring up emotions. Even the most disappointed students couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the tables in the way, John drew his wand and transformed them into barriers around the front of the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This display of Transfiguration was impressive. If Professor McGonagall had seen it, she would have awarded points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart, in his flamboyant robes, walked out as if he were a rooster wearing a crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am going to teach you your first proper lesson: how to defeat a troll!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart was very good at memorizing scripts. As long as it didn't involve practical skills, he could be called the king of rhetoric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was evident from how he wrote vivid accounts from stolen stories. He pompously talked about his book, *Holidays with Hags*, and introduced the troll's weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A troll's head is very fragile. We only need a simple Levitation Charm to make its club hit its own head to defeat it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart clapped his hands, and John stepped forward. Lockhart said, \"My assistant will now give you all a demonstration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonstration?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young wizards were puzzled. John gently waved his wand, and the previously locked cabinet opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the cabinet came a low grumbling sound, which filled the expressions of the trio with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all too familiar with this sound—it was the noise a troll made, just like the one they encountered in their first year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then they were confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cabinet was so small—how could it contain a troll?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John used Occlumency to construct the image of a troll in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Boggart, mistaking his thoughts for fear of trolls, transformed into a troll and pushed open the cabinet door, stepping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's really a troll!\" Ron exclaimed in fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John focused on the club in the troll's hand. As it lumbered towards him, he acted decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wingardium Leviosa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troll's club floated uncontrollably into the air, then came crashing down heavily on its own head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boggart, who turned into a troll, had the characteristics of a troll monster, and fell to the ground with a dizzy head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant monster was easily deveted, and everyone applauded after they reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart came out and said loudly: \"As expected of my teaching, Mr. John Wick performed well, Slytherin plus 10 points!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This class changed the previous bad reputation of the DADA class, in the lively class, the boggart, who turned into a troll, was smashed again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the class, everyone changed their previous reputation, and Lockhart became excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chapters ahead at\u003C\u002Fp>",1657,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","5727a2498f6a9983e0abcb311bff5ee5551340c710488503fc948f925441af44","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-64","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-62",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
