I swung a sword at Hogwarts

"A turning point has occurred, hiss..."

"A huge thing destroys everything... In fate... The cry of new life..."

"The Dark Lord dies at the hands of a powerful enemy. Those who touch the taboo will not have a good end, and the gears of fate will be disrupted."

A series of strange voices rang in John's ears, and he listened to the entire prophecy.

He was silent for a while.

"The gears of fate will be disrupted, and the Dark Lord will die at the hands of a powerful enemy?"

He pondered, this seemed to have predicted the death of the Dark Lord.

It’s just that I don’t know whether this Dark Lord is Voldemort or Grindelwald.

As for the saying 'Those who touch taboos will not have a good end', it seems to be a warning to John.

"Fate has changed, and the Dark Lord and the Savior no longer seem to be in a situation where one lives and the other dies."

John rubbed his fingers across the smooth surface of the crystal ball.

The Dark Lord died at the hands of a powerful enemy.

Does this powerful enemy still refer to the savior, or does it refer to another person?

Or Grindelwald and Dumbledore?

John snapped his fingers and threw the crystal ball into one of the nine doors.

He clapped his hands. No matter who the prophecy was about, it clearly stated the death of the Dark Lord, which was enough for John to give Trelawney a raise.

The amount of alcohol that Trelawney drinks on a daily basis is more than ten times her salary.

"The world's causal weapon, the prophet is really terrifying."

John closed the door so that the crystal ball would not appear again.

Chapter 472 Dumbledore's Memory

Slytherin had a match soon after.

The opponent is the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

The captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team is Cho Chang, Cedric's girlfriend.

As captain, Malfoy doubled the amount of training, making the Quidditch players miserable.

John even thought that if he continued like this, he wasn't afraid that Astoria would break up with him?

The class became tense.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Sirius taught students how to deal with giants.

However, facing that big guy is not as simple as dealing with a giant monster.

Everyone needs to hand in a paper on how to deal with giants and how to escape from giants as quickly and effectively as possible when they return.

There was an atmosphere of impending storm in the school, and Professor McGonagall also gave a lot of homework on Transfiguration.

The homework for Potions class is getting more and more, which makes many people feel overwhelmed.

The incident of Ron's poisoning was still fermenting, but the tension was diluted with the arrival of the second Saturday in March.

A Quidditch match begins.

Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor.

Originally, many people thought that Gryffindor had a great chance of winning against Hufflepuff.

But the results were shocking.

Goalkeeper McLaggen, as usual, was at odds with his teammates and during the game he grabbed the batsman's stick and demanded to be shown how to play.

When Captain Harry went to dissuade them, he was hit hard by a stick.

Gryffindor's Seeker was offline, and even though Ginny and Katie Bell tried hard to score a goal, they still couldn't reverse the decline.

The final score is stopped.

320:60

This score made Malfoy happy all day.

He laughed wantonly, "If he can't even lead the team, how can Porter compete?"

After losing two games in a row, Gryffindor basically said goodbye to the possibility of winning.

This made Malfoy in a good mood, and he became more tolerant towards his teammates.

"Harry is indeed his true love." John sighed.

I heard that Malfoy even went to the school hospital to laugh at Harry. If Harry's skull hadn't been broken, he would definitely get up and fight with Malfoy.

In the auditorium, John met Qiu Zhang.

This seventh-year Ravenclaw will graduate next year and wants to fulfill his last wish, defeating that stinky boy Malfoy.

She came over and spoke harshly to the Slytherins.

"Let that skunk boy clean up and prepare to be defeated by Ravenclaw."

Qiu Zhang was still resentful of the fact that he was almost knocked down by Malfoy last school year.

John said he would tell Malfoy, provided that Malfoy would feel nervous.

Daphne saw John sitting down and said, "I saw a few Ravenclaw boys paying attention to Qiu Zhang."

"Don't worry, she doesn't like those people." John chuckled, "Don't forget that she is the female president of the student union."

Cedric was very confident in Qiu Zhang, and the two of them had been exchanging letters.

It is the owl who has been working hard to deliver letters for the two, and the barn owls in the owl shed have lost a lot of weight.

...

Monday.

Harry is discharged from hospital.

Ron was still lying there. Madam Pomfrey said that although his condition had not worsened, it would take a long time for him to recover and slowly remove the toxins.

Harry tried to find an antidote in the book "Advanced Potion-Making", but whether it was bezoars or anything else, it had no effect on Ron's current condition.

I can only slowly recuperate and recover.

On the night of the poisoning, the Weasleys came to the school to visit Ron, and Mrs. Weasley, who had just arrived, was very sad.

Their family has suffered many misfortunes this year.

Yesterday, Ron woke up, but he was still weak and unable to move.

Hearing that Harry was sent to the school hospital by McLaggen and Gryffindor lost the game, Ron said weakly: "I'm going to kill McLaggen."

Obviously Ron can't do this now.

There wasn't much change in the class without Ron, except that Hermione and Harry would often visit Ron.

There seemed to be a real crack in Ginny and Dean's relationship, and they were once caught arguing in the common room.

night.

Harry went to the gatekeeper's office as usual.

Dumbledore was there waiting for him.

"Professor, why me?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

Dumbledore took a bottle from the shelf containing many memories and opened it. He paused and looked at Harry kindly.

"Why you, Harry?"

Harry nodded and said, "I'm not as good as you think."

He wanted to ask why Dumbledore chose to train himself.

"John is obviously better. Wouldn't he be better at dealing with Voldemort?" Harry asked doubtfully, showing his unconfident side to Dumbledore, and said disappointedly, "And Neville, he's also very good, isn't he?"

"No, Harry."

The gentle old man, full of wisdom, shook his head and said, "You have something they don't have."

"Love?" said Harry irritably. "But what's the use of this love?"

"Love is the most powerful force, Harry." Dumbledore's memories from the bottle were poured into the Pensieve. "There is no enemy that love cannot conquer."

The scene in the Pensieve changed, and Dumbledore said gently, "We can find the answer from here. We can see the difference between you and him."

Harry hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stuck his head in.

The scene before my eyes changed.

Not this small office, but a place that feels familiar.

The room where the Mirror of Erised once stood.

Harry saw himself going out, and he remembered the scene, which made a deep impression on him.

Dumbledore appeared beside Harry, looked at himself five years ago, stroked his beard and said, "My beard was really beautiful back then."

Harry didn't understand what Dumbledore wanted him to do here. After a while, he saw Dumbledore talking to the air.

"Perhaps I should speak to you face to face as well, Mr. Wick."

In the originally empty room, John's figure gradually appeared.

Only then did Harry realize that John had actually gone in after he left that day.

In the memory, Dumbledore praised John's Disillusionment Charm and then asked what John saw in the mirror.

"Delicious food, lots of delicious food... and I become powerful."

Harry was a little dazed listening to John's words.

John was indeed heading in the direction he desired.

"You are indeed the best fit for Slytherin, there is no doubt about that."

"Promise me John, don't touch the irreversible magic."

"I promised you, Professor."

The two made an agreement under Harry's nose, and Harry learned that in his first year, Dumbledore had already discovered that he was looking for clues to the Philosopher's Stone.

He couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Yes, Harry," Dumbledore said, looking at the young John, "I know what you did in your first year."

"You want to ask me why I do this?"

Dumbledore said: "At that time I thought I was in control of everything, but it turned out that I was too arrogant."

"Including for John,"

The memory ended and they returned to the gate manager's office.

"He is different from you, Harry," Dumbledore continued. "John is not a rule-abiding man. His understanding of taboos is a gesture of exploitation."

"It's scary for people, including a confused old man."

Dumbledore realized at that time that the child named John Wick did not have much respect for taboos.

"I admit that I have selfish motives, Harry," Dumbledore said honestly, "I know too little about John, and you are different."

"I know yourself better than you think, and I feel I need to guide you."

Harry asked uncertainly, "You know..."

"Is John going to be so good?" said Dumbledore. "Like Tom Riddle was when he got here?"

Yes.

Harry didn't say it, but his expression showed it.
