If Harry was Scarhead, wouldn't that make Malfoy Greasehead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goyle and Crabbe were temporarily borrowed by John to act as his vanguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the Quidditch pitch, John realized he had overthought it. Wherever he went, Slytherin students made way for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked as if subjects were welcoming their emperor's coronation. This scene was also noticed by Hermione and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the Slytherin stands, Daphne sat down next to John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John, you really look like a king.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having borrowed John's influence to come over unimpeded, she smiled beautifully and blinked admiringly, \"Strength above all, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your badge is really nice. I knew you wouldn't be content with mediocrity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne eyed John's badge, which resembled a family crest. She guessed John needed to form a group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boldly hinting, she asked, \"When can I get one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John chuckled, \"There will be a chance, for eternal glory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne also smiled and nodded vigorously, \"For eternal glory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attention returned to the Quidditch pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Madam Hooch's whistle blew, fourteen players shot up into the gray sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry flew higher than everyone else; as the Seeker, he needed to keep his eyes peeled and ears alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay, Scarhead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draco, riding his Nimbus 2001, flaunted its speed like a child with a new toy, showing off in front of Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry had no time to respond to this behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a black Bludger came hurtling toward Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry narrowly dodged it by a hair's breadth, feeling the ball brush past his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of relief and fear surged in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George, seeing this, grabbed his bat and came up to drive away the rogue Bludger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The struck Bludger's trajectory changed, flying toward a Slytherin player, but then it altered direction again, heading straight for Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, terrified, quickly evaded. George, not believing it, struck the Bludger away again, yet it seemed to have locked onto Harry, aiming straight for his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene gave Harry a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the previous school year when his broomstick went out of control. This time, it was the Bludger behaving erratically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered the head of his broom and accelerated quickly towards the other end of the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without looking back, he could still hear the whistling sound of the Bludger chasing after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred shouted, and Harry instinctively ducked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred mustered all his strength and swung his bat at the Bludger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bludger was knocked to the side, and Fred thought that would be the end of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Bludger seemed to be magnetically attracted, once again heading straight for Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain began to fall from the gloomy sky, large drops splattering on Harry's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His glasses were blurred by the rain, obscuring his view of the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing he could hear was the voice of the commentator, Lee Jordan: \"Slytherin leads, 60 to 0.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slytherin's team had a significant advantage with the Nimbus 2001, elevating their overall performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Harry was being relentlessly pursued by the crazed Bludger, leaving him no time to search for the Golden Snitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Bludger was clearly tampered with, prompting Fred to signal Wood for a timeout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move elicited jeers from the Slytherins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could see that the Bludger had been tampered with. Wood was agitated, knowing that Slytherin had better equipment and their only hope was being thwarted by the rogue Bludger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timeout was limited, and in the end, Harry decided to deal with the rogue Bludger himself while the others focused on scoring points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Madam Hooch's whistle blew again, the game resumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain intensified, and as soon as Harry flew up, he heard the Bludger chasing after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to do his best to keep the Bludger at bay while thinking, \"Could this be Malfoy's plot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suspected Malfoy of casting a spell on it, but then realized it might not be possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Circling in the air, Harry's actions drew jeers from Malfoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bludger seemed determined to crash into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his team about to lose, Harry grew increasingly frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stands, Hermione and Ron were equally anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me knock it down,\" Ron suggested, wanting to help, but Hermione stopped him. Even if he could hit the Bludger, the distance was too great to be effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Harry dodged the Bludger with a dive and sped towards the Slytherin stands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slytherin students screamed and scattered in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harry, over here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry heard the call and looked up to see John in the Slytherin stands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He initially wanted to dodge, but John signaled for him to come over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, Harry rushed towards John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goyle shouted, running to the side, while Daphne noticed that John didn't move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John stared at the Bludger, realizing it was cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be the Heir? Why target Harry and not me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was puzzled but decided to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Harry passed by and turned, John's eyes became slitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Bludger was about to pass him, John decisively reached out and grabbed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the Bludger's force, John was pushed back a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the Bludger tightly, John drew out his wand with his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finite Incantatem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relentless Bludger stopped struggling, and John released it, allowing it to fly away normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh Merlin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... You caught the Bludger with your bare hands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne was amazed, as it was the first time she had seen anyone do that. John shrugged and said, \"Heh~ This is the second time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to last time, John's body was stronger, and he wasn't injured after catching the Bludger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this impressive act left the Slytherin students wide-eyed in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Gryffindor stands, Hermione clapped excitedly, saying, \"I knew John would help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron swallowed hard and said, \"Is he even human? How come he's totally fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Scarhead, are you practicing ballet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy, seeing Harry spinning around, immediately mocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry had been irritated by the relentless pursuit of the Bludger and had just managed to shake it off when he caught sight of a golden glint behind Malfoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his moment of distraction, Malfoy hadn't noticed this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry's spirits lifted as he tried to approach stealthily, not wanting to alert Malfoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Harry's unusual behavior eventually drew Malfoy's attention. Looking up, he saw the Golden Snitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Golden Snitch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy shouted in delight, and Harry, not wasting any more time, dashed towards it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two collided in midair, and Harry felt like his hand was about to break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy cursed loudly but didn't give an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chasing the Golden Snitch, the two continuously clashed in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the Golden Snitch dived down, and the two chased after it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing they were about to crash into the ground, Malfoy chickened out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Harry, determined, caught the Golden Snitch, only to crash and pass out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lee Jordan excitedly announced Gryffindor's victory, and Harry woke up to see Lockhart rushing over to treat him, which scared him into refusing in a jumbled manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was too late, and Lockhart's spell landed Harry in the hospital wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John watched this unfold, exasperated. '*Sigh* Didn't I tell him not to use magic if he can avoid it? Yet he rushed to use it anyway?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could have been resolved in a day now meant a week's stay in the hospital because of Lockhart's spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John shook his head, thinking that perhaps Harry couldn't have won without his intervention with the Bludger, but that would have broken his promise to his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Harry was taken to the hospital wing, John noticed Marcus Flint expressing his displeasure to Malfoy for not catching the Golden Snitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Malfoy furious, and he thought that Just as John said, only power truly belongs to oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the others flaunt their expensive Nimbus 2001 broomsticks arrogantly, Malfoy felt a deep sense of agreement with John's perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 12 Chapters ahead—\u003C\u002Fp>",1387,"2026-06-06T11:45:53.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","375e6e2bf38c3a713b9ea398cc2f994e94c35a482c2c1581ac9db33caa215e97","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-73","hogwarts-john-wick-chapter-71",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-john-wick-cover.jpg"]
