I swung a sword at Hogwarts

"Is it because I'm suppressing them too harshly?" Malfoy thought that maybe he was bullying others too harshly.

John glanced at him. Couldn't this guy see that Neville was accumulating emotions in silence?

Malfoy was thinking, but he caught sight of Astoria from the corner of his eye and immediately put the matter to the back of his mind.

John watched Malfoy leave, then looked at Daphne who was hesitating beside him, and asked curiously, "Your sister just walked over."

"what?"

Daphne was still thinking, so she looked a little dazed.

John couldn't help but sigh, after all, family affection is just made of paper.

With a week left until the Yule Ball, Daphne struggled with whether or not to speak up.

Just at this moment, Furong came over and invited John.

"John, will you be my dance partner?"

As she spoke, her eyes still glanced at Daphne, a smile appropriately drawn at the corner of her mouth.

It looked like a deliberate provocation, which immediately made Daphne furious.

"No!" Daphne stood up suddenly.

Furong raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "You didn't invite John, so why can't you let John be my dance partner?"

She really couldn't stand it anymore. Furong originally thought that John would be invited away by Daphne, so she didn't even consider John.

As a result, there were only a few days left before the Christmas ball, and there was no movement from these two people.

As the older sister, Furong simply went on stage to help them.

As for having John invite Daphne?

No kidding, she would rather believe that John invited Heinrich.

Anyone in the Star Club who was not blind could understand what Daphne meant. Unfortunately, John was the one who went blind at such a young age.

Daphne was speechless and stammered in defense: "John is busy, right?"

She just said it casually, and John actually nodded.

"Indeed, sorry, Fleur, I had something to attend to that day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fleur looked strange, and Daphne couldn't help but regret it and asked, "John, aren't you going to participate?"

There was anticipation in the girl's eyes, but it was a pity that John was really not free that day.

John responded with one word: "I'm sorry."

The color in Daphne's eyes dimmed, and Fleur shrugged and said, "Well, I'll just have to invite someone else then."

After Fleur left, Malfoy came back with a happy face.

He didn't notice that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and seeing that the two people were very close, he asked very suically: "What's wrong? John, did you invite Daphne?"

What greeted him was Daphne's murderous look.

As luck would have it, Astoria came over at this time and asked, "What dress should I wear?"

Malfoy saw from the corner of his eye a plate of egg tarts flying towards him.

...

Neville often wakes up from a dream recently. He dreams that his parents were kidnapped by an intruder, and that person sinisterly asks him to leave the school.

The figures around him swayed, and loud laughter broke out from their mouths, mocking Neville.

"If you don't leave school, then your parents will disappear forever."

"no, do not want!"

Neville woke up and screamed. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was still in the dormitory.

"What's wrong?" Ron's indistinct mumbling voice.

"fine."

After answering, Neville saw Ron fall down and continue to sleep.

After waking up with a start, Neville couldn't sleep.

He got up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the heavy snow falling outside.

The sound of the wind blowing through the crack in the door was like a ghost, and it sounded particularly creepy.

He quietly opened the door and walked down to the common room.

At this time, the lights in the common room were off and no one was there.

The day after tomorrow is the Christmas ball, and Neville has not invited a dance partner.

Not long after he walked to the sofa and sat down, the Star Badge that he had been reluctant to take off vibrated.

He was stunned, and seemed to remember that he had put on the badge subconsciously.

Reaching out to touch it, his face was full of bitterness.

The moment the finger touched the badge, a shadow popped up from the badge.

It was a message from Percy.

"Neville, I can't believe this, John has gone crazy."

Neville was stunned when he saw this message, and he hurriedly asked what happened.

Messages keep popping up.

"John left school."

"Heinrich said he kept talking about the hospital or something."

"He said it was a shame and he wanted to change it."

"To imprison people where they can never be found."

"I followed him in that direction, and it looked like the Whomping Willow."

"No, he found me!"

When Neville saw the news, he suddenly remembered his dream.

He staggered to his feet and ran out of the common room without even putting on his coat.

...

Inside the Shrieking Shack.

John was sitting there with two wands on the table.

Percy sent out the last sentence 'save me', looked at John with a complicated expression, and said, "Is this really necessary?"

John shrugged indifferently and said calmly: "During this period, the kindness you occasionally showed him has become a life-saving straw, hasn't it?"

The Star Society isolates Neville, while Percy is responsible for releasing a little bit of kindness.

Neville had already regarded Percy as his lifeline, and now that this straw was about to be pulled out by John, Neville naturally couldn't sit still.

"Okay," Percy sighed helplessly and said, "I know I can't change your mind."

His eyes moved to the collapsed bed. He didn't expect that John was so powerful that he actually tied the man out of the hospital.

On the bed, Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom were sleeping peacefully. John contacted Donmi and Jin and stole them out of the hospital overnight.

They needed to finish everything here, and Percy took the small bag with him that contained many potions.

"Percy, I think we need to be real."

"Wait, you want to..."

A red light flashed before his eyes and Percy was knocked unconscious.

John waited quietly, and soon Neville triggered the magic left in the secret passage of the Whomping Willow.

Standing up to stretch, John rubbed his cheeks with his hands.

Put the anonymous wand on your waist, as you will need this wand to help Neville successfully fight back later.

After waiting for a while, John heard the sound of breaking the door.

He immediately had the energy of an award-winning actor and turned around to look behind him in surprise.

There was no time to hide the ferocity and paleness on his face. Where John's wand pointed, Percy fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

"John!"

Neville, who had been disturbed by Percy's last words, now completely broke down.

He roared and rushed towards John, and a trace of panic appeared on John's face.

Of course, it was only a slight movement, and soon John reacted and fired an Expelling Spell from his wand, sending Neville flying.

"Neville Longbottom, you are so brave to appear in front of me."

Neville hit the wall with a loud thump on his back.

John looked down at Neville with a look of disdain on his face.

"Why," Neville asked angrily, "Why did you attack Percy? Isn't he a partner?!"

"partner?"

John smiled coldly, as if mocking Neville's naivety.

"They are just my subordinates. Do you really think I would consider the Star Society as my friends? That's ridiculous."

John smiled and pointed his wand, causing a red light to hit Neville.

Crucio

Neville screamed, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at John.

John sneered, and the Cruciatus Curse continued to torture Neville along with the devil's whispers.

"You are nothing more than a tool I use to gain power. Let me tell you, Neville Longbottom, you disgust me. You are nothing more than a pureblood. You are nothing more than a shaggy dog ​​begging for mercy."

He sneered as he broke down Neville's last bit of defense.

"Shut up!!!"

Neville growled like a trapped beast, and two figures appeared in the corner of his eye. He looked towards the bed with his eyes widened.

"Mom and dad?"

"Oh? It seems you found the gift I prepared for you."

John smiled like a devil, "Do you like this gift? I can only blame you, Neville. I did this because you didn't want to disappear."

As if he was sure of victory, John approached Neville leisurely.

Neville wanted to kill John.

Suddenly, he noticed the wand 'accidentally' exposed at John's waist.

A sudden inspiration came to Neville, who calculated the distance.

When the distance was enough, Neville roared and rushed towards John with all his strength.

John was caught off guard and knocked down.

The wand at his waist was empty and appeared in Neville's hand.

Neville was extremely angry, and with all the resentment and malice he had accumulated during this period, he loudly recited the spell that he had practiced many times.

"Crucio!"

...

Chapter 217: Patchwork and Repair

Before the red color representing anger fell on his body, John turned around and put his hand on Mr. Longbottom's hand.

"Different minds, same dream."
