I swung a sword at Hogwarts

A cutting spell is attached, which cannot be removed by ordinary magic.

John added runes to establish a connection with the Sword of Silverwick.

"When I am in danger, this sword will come to protect me."

John held the sword horizontally in his right hand, but less than half a minute later he put it down.

The defect in his right hand still exists, so he can only hold the sword with his left hand.

Stuffing the sword back into his briefcase, John continued brewing the soul-repairing potion.

One Dementor soul is only enough for three times. After drinking this pot, he needs to catch the Dementor again.

We alarmed the Aurors last time, so it will probably be difficult to get through again.

Fortunately, John thought of a solution. Since they couldn't be caught outside Hogwarts, then they could be caught in Hogsmeade village, right?

In order to guard against Sirius Black, the Ministry of Magic has been on high alert, and even if he comes to Hogsmeade, he cannot escape the fate of being monitored.

John did it right away. He went out through the secret passage of the one-eyed hunchback witch and arrived at Honeydukes Candy Store. He then used the Disillusionment Charm to get out.

There was no one in Hogsmeade at night, only the Dementors wandering around like ghosts.

There were some Aurors there too, but that wasn't a big problem.

John soon spotted a lone Dementor.

Chapter 147 The Four Schools and the Sour Stink of Love

Quidditch is an exciting game.

Perhaps because wizards have different physiques from Muggles, this game has no time limit.

As long as the Golden Snitch is not caught, it will continue.

It is said that the longest Quidditch match lasted three months.

John could understand that a Quidditch game would not end halfway as long as no one died, just as he watched the green and blue figures colliding with each other in the sky.

Slytherin vs Ravenclaw.

Although Ravenclaw has a low presence, its strength has always been very strong.

The Eagles have smart brains and are very good in tactics and technique.

But compared with Slytherin who has paid equipment, it is still a little behind.

Ravenclaw's Seeker is fourth-year student Qiu Zhang. She has good skills, but there is still some gap between her and Malfoy.

The main reason was that she couldn't catch up with Malfoy, but her delicate flying skills allowed her to keep up.

But none of this matters.

John looked at Qiu Zhang's face, which was both strange and familiar. He was a Chinese.

"Be careful!" Cedric's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Just now, Malfoy bumped into Qiu Zhang in a very unsportsmanlike manner, almost causing her to lose control and fall.

John glanced at Cedric and thought that you were here to cheer for the Star Club, but you turned out to be greedy for someone else's body.

Bah, vile!

This guy’s eyes are almost growing on other people’s bodies.

But to be honest, Qiu Zhang is actually very beautiful. When she is still, she is a typical oriental lady, gentle and lovely.

Riding on the flying broom, she is like a little eagle soaring in the sky, heroic and majestic.

No wonder Cedric was so fascinated.

Just looking at Cedric's expression, he wished he could go up himself. John felt that Malfoy would be greeted with greetings after the game was over.

The Quidditch players from the four houses also have distinct personalities.

Gryffindor's straightforward adaptability.

Hufflepuff's technical endurance stream.

Ravenclaw's meticulous tactical style.

Slytherin is different, they mainly play pay-to-win and dirty-ball games.

As a Slytherin player, everyone has one or two unique skills.

Like Flint's ability to turn the world upside down and kill every kid with one stick.

And Malfoy, charging so violently that if you didn't know better you'd think he was a batsman.

A team can be said to be composed entirely of villains.

Ravenclaw is like a scholar encountering an unreasonable hooligan. Even if the tactics are sophisticated, they cannot withstand all kinds of fouls.

In the end, Slytherin narrowly defeated Ravenclaw.

Malfoy came over in a heroic manner, but Cedric missed him and ran over to comfort Qiu Zhang.

I don't know how to comfort him specifically, but John heard no less than three Draco Malfoys and more than ten dirty and despicable people.

Malfoy's face darkened. We are all members of the Star Club. Not only did you not congratulate me, but you also belittled me.

John stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, hesitating to say, "Does your dad know that you play basketball so dirty?"

He suspected that if Malfoy had brought a saw, he would have ruthlessly cut off his opponent's broomstick.

"?" Malfoy was confused.

Is playing ball dirty?

Isn't this the Slytherin style? His father once boasted that he had sent a Gryffindor to the school hospital.

All I can say is, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too.

...

It's almost February.

John still didn't wait for the storm, so he wrote a letter to Nagini.

Because she has been a snake for too long, Nagini also needs recuperation. Her left hand and right leg have been eroded, and it will probably take more than a year to recover.

From Nagini's words, John could tell that she was grateful to be able to become human again.

When John discovered it, Nagini had been almost completely eroded.

John was also considering arranging Nagini's future life, as she was neither a Muggle nor a wizard.

She had fought before, but she relied on the blood curse to transform into a python.

There is no systematic study of magic and the like.

She wasn't suited to a job like that on the security team, but John thought of another job that might be suitable.

"Speaking of which, Johnny Silverhand also needs a secretary."

After taking over the Shafik family business in Knockturn Alley, John expanded his business a lot.

And there was also a bookshop opened in Diagon Alley, which was impossible for John to manage alone.

Sooner or later he will need to disperse the management of his industries, and Nagini is a good choice.

Unfortunately for him, Kim Ledislay was only a holiday worker and had left before school started.

This young man is very good and John intends to train him.

The security team has also been expanded and now has 20 people.

The team leader was Tang Mi again, and he assigned two team leaders to assist in management.

John is also going to set up a Knockturn Alley Strike Team to deal with unruly dark wizards.

This project has not yet started.

The last time Fudge cracked down on Johnny Silverhand's store, it did have some effect. Many officials from the Ministry of Magic became more wary of Johnny Silverhand.

At this critical juncture, if the Ministry of Magic sets up its own Knockturn Alley Strike Team, it might make them uneasy.

After Rufus Scrimgeour temporarily took over the position of Minister of Magic, he remained respectful to John, but he was less respectful than before.

John knew this, but it didn't matter, that's how connections work.

The people you support are most afraid of your own power.

Just like Dumbledore and Fudge, Johnny Silverhand holds the same position in Rufus Scrimgeour's heart.

"As long as you do your job well, I don't mind."

John glanced at the Daily Prophet. Rufus Scrimgeour was active in the paper.

He was consolidating his position and winning over the people. Before dealing with Sirius Black, he could not become the real Minister of Magic, so naturally he did not dare to show disrespect to Johnny Silver Watch.

"If Sirius Black is targeting Harry, where would he be hiding?"

After a little thought, John felt that perhaps Sirius Black was in Hogwarts.

He was a former student of Hogwarts, which meant he might know some secret passages that the Marauder's Map couldn't show.

The Marauder's Map is not omnipotent. There are some places that cannot be found even with the Marauder's Map.

For example, the Room of Requirement, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and John's Star Society Chamber of Secrets were also shielded with magic, so the Marauder's Map could not detect them.

Excluding these places, there is also the Shrieking Shack.

John had been there last time and had been there several times since then, but had not found anything.

But he was careful and left a spell in the Shrieking Shack that would inform John if anyone entered.

The time has come quickly to February.

It became difficult for John to catch Dementors, and the Ministry of Magic also discovered that someone was deliberately targeting Dementors, so Aurors led the patrols.

This was the first time John had returned empty-handed.

Inside the castle, the sour smell of love was already spreading even before Valentine's Day.

Daphne approached John as if casually, with two blushes on her cheeks, looking delicate and charming.

She doesn't have the sweet look, but rather the face of a rich lady with a pointed chin and pretty eyes and eyebrows.

She is already beautiful even before she grows up. If she grows up, she will surely charm many people.

"John, Valentine's Day is coming." Her earlobes turned red, and she said in a low voice, pretending not to care, "I wonder how many people will confess to you this time."

John's face darkened when Valentine's Day was mentioned.

Last year's Valentine's Day didn't leave a good impression. After all, Lockhart's outrageous actions were quite shocking even in Hogwarts.

This left him with some psychological trauma, and he thought that Lupin would not do what Lockhart did, right?

Daphne didn't dare to look at John's face, so she didn't notice the strangeness on his face. She encouraged herself and continued, "I'm learning how to make chocolate recently. If you ask, I can..."

Before she could finish, Daphne saw John's horrified expression from the corner of her eye.

She held her breath in her mouth and almost choked to death.

He angrily stepped on John, then turned and stormed away.

John rubbed his right foot that was hurt by the step. He was even more grateful that he didn't have to eat the chocolate made by Daphne.

After all, eating too much of that kind of stuff is bad for your stomach.

Even a stomach made of iron cannot withstand Daphne's prolonged torture.

The dishes cooked by Daphne highlight three key points: color, aroma and taste...but these are missing.

The texture is half-cooked, and sometimes you can even taste the raw ingredients, which is so scary that it makes your scalp tingle.

He looked at Daphne's back as she left and sighed, "Daphne is a good girl, as long as she doesn't cook."

He shifted his gaze to a pair of figures in the courtyard. Cedric and Qiu Zhang were talking and laughing in the courtyard. It seemed that their relationship was progressing rapidly, and the sour smell of love was about to overflow.

The same thing happened on the other side. Malfoy pursued Harry relentlessly (?), provoking him in various ways and pretending to be a ghost, and also mocking Ron for being a guy who only knew how to chew chicken legs.
