I swung my greatsword at Hogwarts

Slytherin had a match shortly thereafter.

The opponent is Ravenclaw's Quidditch team.

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

As captain, Malfoy doubled down on training, making the Quidditch players miserable.

John even felt that he was not afraid that Astoria would break up with him if he continued like this?

Classes in class became tense.

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

But facing that big guy is not as simple as dealing with giant monsters.

Everyone needs to hand in a thesis on how to deal with giants and how to escape from the giants' pursuit in the fastest and most effective way.

There was a stormy atmosphere in the school, and Professor McGonagall left a lot of homework on Transfiguration.

There were more and more homework for Potions class, which made many people unable to breathe.

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

A Quidditch match begins.

Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor.

Many people thought that Gryffindor had a great chance of winning against Hufflepuff now.

But the result is surprising.

Keeper McLaggen, feuding with his teammates as usual, snatched the batsman's stick during the game and was about to demonstrate how to play.

When Captain Harry went to dissuade him, he happened to get a solid blow.

Gryffindor's Seeker went offline, and even though Ginny and Katie Bell tried their best to score, they still couldn't restore the decline.

The final score stops.

320:60

The score made Malfoy happy all day.

He sneered wantonly: "You can't lead the team well, so what kind of competition does Porter have?"

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

This put Malfoy in a good mood, and he even became tolerant towards his teammates.

"Sure enough, Harry is his true love." John said with emotion.

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

In the auditorium, John meets Cho Chang.

The seventh-year Ravenclaw was graduating next year and wanted to fulfill his final wish, defeating that skunk kid Malfoy.

She came and spoke harshly to Slytherin.

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

Cho Chang was still resenting how Malfoy almost knocked him off the previous school year.

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

Daphne saw John sit down and said, "I saw a few Ravenclaw boys courting Cho Chang."

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

Cedric is very relieved of Qiu Zhang, and the two have 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 out of the hospital.

Ron was still lying there, Madam Pomfrey said, although it hadn't gotten worse, it would take a long time to slowly remove the toxin.

Harry tried to find an antidote in that "Advanced Potion Making", but whether it was bezoar or something else, it didn't work for Ron now.

You can only slowly recuperate and restore your body.

On the night of the poisoning, the Weasley family came to the school to visit Ron, and Mrs. Weasley, who happened to be not long ago, was very sad.

Their family has been troubled by many disasters this year.

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

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

Apparently the current Ron couldn't do that.

Classes haven't changed much without Ron, except that Hermione and Harry often visit Ron.

Ginny and Dean's relationship seems to have really cracked, and was once caught arguing in the common room.

night.

Harry went to the Gatekeeper's office as usual.

Dumbledore was there waiting for his arrival.

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

Dumbledore took a vial from the shelf that held so many memories and opened it. His hands stopped and he looked at Harry benevolently.

"Why you, Harry?"

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

He wanted to ask why Dumbledore chose to cultivate it himself.

"John is obviously better, if he is, wouldn't it be better to deal with Voldemort?" Harry asked doubts, and at the same time showed his unconfident side to Dumbledore, and said in frustration, "And Neville, he is also very good Isn't it?"

"No, Harry."

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

"Love?" Harry said irritably, "but what's the use of this love?"

"Love is the greatest force, Harry." Dumbledore poured the memory from his bottle into the Pensieve. "There is no enemy that love cannot defeat."

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

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

The scene in front of me 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, it made an impression on him.

Dumbledore appeared next to 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 had let himself do here, and after a while, he saw Dumbledore speaking into the air.

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

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

Only then did Harry know that after he left that day, John went inside.

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

"Gourmet, a lot of delicious food... and I have become stronger."

Listening to John's words, Harry was a little dazed.

John is indeed going in the direction he desires.

"You are indeed the most suitable for Slytherin, there is no doubt about that."

"Promise me John, don't touch those irreparable magic."

"I promise you professor."

The two made an agreement under Harry's nose, and at the same time Harry knew that in the first grade, Dumbledore had already discovered that he was looking for clues to the Philosopher's Stone.

He couldn't help asking: "Why?"

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

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

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

"Including for John,"

The memory ended, and they returned to the Gatekeeper's office.

"Unlike you, Harry," Dumbledore continued, "John is not a man of the rules, and his understanding of the taboo is a gesture of exploitation."

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

Dumbledore noticed at that time that the kid named John Wick didn't have much awe of taboos.

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

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

Harry asked uncertainly, "You know..."

"John will become so good?" said Dumbledore, "as if Tom Riddle entered school?"

Yes.

Harry didn't say it, but that was the look on his face.

"I did pay attention to him from then on," said Dumbledore, becoming serious. "John didn't look like Voldemort, he acted more like a Slytherin."

"He's everything a Slytherin is, including Parseltongue."

"Parseltongue?" Harry wondered, "John can speak Parseltongue?"

"He said when he opened the box at the Society of Stars," said Dumbledore, "that he was as good as Salazar Slytherin, but not an evil wizard, Harry."

As if seeing what Harry wanted to say, Dumbledore shook his head and said, "You shouldn't be hostile to wizards in Slytherin, Hogwarts is a whole."

"Okay." Harry said, not sure if he listened.

Today's class is over.

...

Malfoy is working hard, and until the first Saturday in April, he has been tirelessly doing three things.

Take lessons, train, laugh at Harry.

Not even qualified for the competition, Malfoy sneered at Harry.

"That's the worst grade Gryffindor has ever had."

The Gryffindor students glared at Malfoy.

But to no avail, the Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw match day arrived.

Ravenclaw's determination to slay the dragon, Slytherin, could be felt in the Great Hall.

John advised Malfoy, "Remember, Cedric hasn't always had a good temper."

Take it easy and don't beat Cho Chang to anything.

Cedric would kill Malfoy.
