I swung a sword at Hogwarts

The Weird Sisters finished their song and played a new one.

Padma invited John to dance, but John had just been bumped by Daphne and felt a dull pain in his chest, so he declined.

His refusal was so gracious that Padma didn't feel much emotion.

Soon a boy from Beauxbatons asked her to dance.

John rubbed his chest; the air here was a little stuffy.

It was mainly due to the excessive use of mental magic and the fatigue after dancing. Now the various emotions of the students were as conspicuous as neon lights in front of him.

Looking in the direction of Dumbledore, he had already separated from Madam Maxime, and Hagrid took the opportunity to go over and invite Madam Maxime.

Hagrid was filled with joy, nervousness, and shyness.

Ms. Maxime also has some affection for him, but not much, so Hegrid still needs to work harder.

Dumbledore... couldn't tell.

His ability to treat people with occlumency is still limited. Dumbledore appears kind on the surface, but in fact he does not show his emotions.

Karkaroff is not here. He must have run away.

John looked at them one by one and landed on Moody.

After dancing, Moody sat aside and listened to the rhythm, holding the exquisite wine jug in his hand.

"Occlumency?"

There was a hint of joy in Moody, but it was so faint that it was impossible to see clearly unless you looked carefully.

He also used Occlumency, which made sense considering that Moody was suffering from 'PTSD'.

There was nothing special about the others. Even Professor McGonagall was very happy and even wanted to ask old Barty to dance.

"Let's go out for a walk."

I caught a glimpse of Heinrich out of the corner of my eye. He was showing impatience, while the Silver Mask, who was talking seriously opposite him, was showing signs of mischief.

Percy answered in a stern voice, as the three of them stood casually.

Kim and Percy were talking about the import and export issues of the new tent, and deliberately let Heinrich stand there as a waiter.

"I hope he doesn't negotiate any earth-shattering business with me."

Shaking his head, John left the party.

As soon as he left, Ron and Harry sat at the table.

The two of them were indeed brothers in distress. Harry's dance partner Parvati couldn't stand his neglect, so she turned around and left with another boy from Beauxbatons.

"Viktor went to get the drinks."

While Krum was getting his drink, Hermione came over to check on her two sons.

Unexpectedly, this led to Ron's sour words.

"Viktor? Didn't he ask you to call him Vicky?"

Because of Krum's pronunciation problem, Hermione is always called 'Hermione'.

To others, it sounds like a nickname between lovers.

"Sour, too sour."

Crabbe, who was eating fruit, had a frown on his face. He looked at the apple in his hand in confusion as to why there was a sour red substance on it.

Or is it that red is inherently sour?

Finally, Ron made some sarcastic remarks, saying that being with Krum was treason, that Krum approached you in order to dig up information, and that he must want to use you to unlock the secret of the golden egg or something like that.

Hermione was so angry that she simply ignored her two sons. It was obvious that the bastards did not invite them, but they still had to accuse her of all kinds of crimes.

Ron was now very displeased with Krum and had completely forgotten that he once said he was willing to give his bed to Krum and sleep on the sofa himself.

...

The atmosphere inside was lively, but outside it was cold and deserted, with a layer of white snow covering the ground and bushes.

In the rose garden, John thought he could get away from those neon-like emotions after he walked out, but he still underestimated the students in the school.

He walked past a rose bush and three black lines appeared on his forehead.

From his perspective, the flowers are filled with ambiguity and love.

"Can't you young lovers wait until after graduation to talk about love?"

He was speechless. At this age in his previous life, he was still working hard on solving problems, but you guys are here making love.

Snape should have caught him.

As he spoke, John felt a surge of fear.

He followed the feeling and saw an unexpected figure.

"Severus, you can't pretend that nothing happened!" Karkaroff's voice was hoarse, but he lowered his voice for fear of being heard.

“It’s become more and more obvious to him over the months.”

"I am very worried now, I cannot deny..."

"Then run away." Completely different from Karkaroff's behavior, Snape looked impatient.

John tried to read Snape's emotions, but it was not that easy for a master of Occlumency.

After a few tries, John could only read the emotions Snape was displaying.

"It's no secret that Karkaroff is a Death Eater."

John was on the same page as old Batty, so he naturally knew what Karkaroff had done before.

Seeing Karkaroff's panicked look, he was afraid of the Dark Mark.

"That's right. After all, he was ruthless back then and sold out all the Death Eaters. If Voldemort really comes back, the first person he will be afraid of will be him."

Voldemort hated traitors more than his opponents.

This allowed John to rule out the possibility that Karkaroff might have confused the Goblet of Fire.

Turning to leave, John stopped and saw two heads popping up in the other direction.

Ignore it and walk in the other direction.

He tried to choose a place with fewer people, but he still ran into people.

This time it's Hagrid and Ms. Maxime.

Two people walking on the road were too conspicuous.

Tired of walking, the two sat on a stone bench to rest.

Hagrid's shyness became even more intense, and John wanted to leave, but he saw another guy.

Exploration, curiosity, greed, excitement.

It's Rita.

John couldn't help but sigh. Through his mind reading, John knew that Rita originally wanted to dig up some explosive information.

As a result, they dug their way back to Hagrid's place.

As it happens, Hagrid is a man who can't control his mouth.

"As soon as I saw you, I knew it."

Ms. Maxim showed displeasure: "What do you understand?"

Hagrid looked at Ms. Maxime, "I see, I see that you are just like me, is it your father or mother?"

John saw Ms. Maxime's displeasure turn into anger, and the insect that Rita transformed into trembled and seemed very excited.

"Forget it. I really doubt whether Hagrid drank Veritaserum to quench his thirst as a child."

Seeing that Hagrid was about to tell the secret, John sighed helplessly.

He deliberately made a noise for everyone to hear.

Hagrid wanted to ask Ms. Maxime if she was a half-giant, but he turned away immediately when he heard the noise.

John walked out with a polite smile on his face.

"Excuse me, Hagrid, Ms. Maxime, am I disturbing you?"

Hagrid still had courage when he was with Ms. Maxime, but when there was one more person, he immediately lost it.

Even though he is old, he is still a pure and innocent boy.

Hagrid, you will be taken advantage of by Ms. Maxime if you continue like this.

To John, Hagrid's emotions were like a revolving lantern, changing all the time.

Glancing at Rita obliquely, John was like a bright light bulb.

Everyone wanted him to go away, but he wouldn't.

He smiled gently and said, "Ms. Maxime, I just saw Furong being taken to the rose bush not far away by the boys."

"What!" Ms. Maxime was already angry because of Hagrid, so she got up and left after hearing what he said. She turned into a female Titan and went angrily to find the Hogwarts pigs who were digging her cabbage.

Hagrid reached out his hand to stop him, but failed to stop him.

He sat down frustratedly, and John saw anger coming from behind the reindeer.

It was Harry and Ron. They were probably angry that John had ruined Hagrid's date.

Ignoring these two idiots, John walked calmly to Rita's side.

Just as Rita was trying to disguise herself as a bug, John snapped his fingers and sent Rita flying.

This finger was used with enough force that Rita must have been dizzy.

After doing all this, John looked at Hagrid and lowered his head in disappointment.

John leaned over and whispered, "Hagrid, some things are better left unsaid."

"What?" Hagrid looked confused.

John asked back, "What did you want to ask just now?"

"I just want to know which of her parents is a giant." Hagrid said innocently.

John rubbed his brows irritably and said, "You asked about such a private matter right after we met. You also know that half-bloods are discriminated against in the magic world, just like werewolves. Even with the wolfsbane potion, they are still discriminated against in many places."

Hagrid seemed to finally realize the seriousness of the matter. He turned pale and tried to say that he didn't think too much about it.

"Ms. Maxime hates people talking about this. If you like her, don't ever mention it in your life."

John used a semi-threatening tone and Hagrid nodded hurriedly.

He also knew he was wrong, he almost revealed the part that Ms. Maxime hated the most.

Fortunately, John showed up in time.

He was very grateful for this.

The anger behind the reindeer disappeared, and it was obvious that they had heard it too.

Realizing that they had wronged John, the two men left in shame.

...

Chapter 222 Crybaby and the Traitor

The dance ended at midnight.

As the Christmas holidays began, John's life became boring.

He only had one thing to do, and that was to heal his wounds.

The aftereffects of mental magic were greater than he thought.

For example, now, he is sitting there with tears in his eyes, feeling depressed.

"This bullshit empathy has made me sentimental."
