MTL - I Wield a Sword at Hogwarts-Chapter 40

Two ragged wizards were whispering to Harry, which made Harry feel creepy.

He ran out along the road, and his glasses fell off as he kept correcting them.

The wizards here were interested in this little guy who broke into Knockturn Alley. John followed him and had already seen a wizard approaching Harry secretly.

An old witch grabbed Harry's hand, showing her moss-covered teeth and smiling in a creepy way.

"Aren't you lost, my dear?"

Harry backed away slowly. The old witch's coldness was bone-chilling, and her other hand held a plate of something that looked like a dead man's fingernails.

He was terrified, his heart was beating fast, and the old witch approached him.

"I'm fine, thank you, I just want to leave." Harry resisted the old witch's approach.

John came out when he saw this, when the old witch was so aggressive that she even wanted to share the dead man's nails in her hands with Harry.

"Harry what are you doing here?"

The sudden sound startled the old witch. When she turned around, she saw the good-looking John, and she suddenly showed a sinister smile.

But John narrowed his eyes dangerously. The moment the old witch turned around, his left hand brought out a whip shadow like a poisonous snake and smashed the opponent's plate into pieces.

The old witch screamed and was about to have an attack when she saw the wand was already pointed at her eyeballs.

"Go away, or I will make you blind."

John's cold voice sounded, and the old witch suddenly felt a chill on her back.

At this moment, a tall figure in the crowd walked towards this side.

"Harry, John! What are you doing here?"

Hagrid came over and saw the old witch, and immediately cursed: "Get out of here, you shameless thing."

Reaching out to pull Harry away, Hagrid forcefully led him away.

The old witch didn't dare to stop her. She was threatened by John.

Walking out of Knockturn Alley, Harry saw the familiar snow-white marble of Gringotts.

Hagrid led the two of them into Diagon Alley and helped Harry sort out the soot on his body.

After knowing that Harry got lost, Hagrid could only say that Harry was too careless.

"John, why are you there?"

Hagrid was surprised that John was also in Knockturn Alley. Naturally, John would not say that he was doing business. He smiled and said, "I'm going to see if there are any interesting alchemy materials."

"That's too risky, you just need to tell me." Hagrid complained.

He also came here to get materials for John, but he also bought some medicine to get rid of carnivorous slugs.

Because of this, he delayed a little. If John hadn't appeared, he wouldn't have dared to imagine what would have happened to Harry after he was taken away by the old witch.

"Thank you John, you saved me again." Harry thanked John sincerely.

John shrugged, he was just passing by.

"John, you don't know, I live in the Weasley family now, it's great there."

When Harry mentioned this matter, he remembered that he and Weasley were separated, and he was anxious to find the Weasley family.

"Harry, why didn't you reply to me?"

"Sorry Hagrid, something happened to me."

Hagrid began to talk about Harry not replying to his letter again, and Harry told him about being detained by Dursley.

Angry, Hagrid roared and wanted to teach Dursley a lesson.

"Harry! Harry! Come here quickly!"

As they passed Gringotts, Hermione happened to be standing on the steps of Gringotts.

She ran down to greet them, her fluffy brown hair flying behind her.

"What's wrong with your glasses? John, you're here too. That's great. And Hagrid. It's great to see you again."

Hermione smiled, showing two big teeth. She had just come out of Gringotts.

"Have you gone to Gringotts?"

"I'll go after I find the Weasley family." Harry was sent to Knockturn Alley without a chance to enter.

Hagrid was tall and could see far, and he immediately saw the Weasley family squeezing through the crowded street.

"Harry, we hope you only missed one door," Mr. Weasley gasped.

He has red hair like all Weasleys, but he is bald, wears glasses, and is tall and thin.

"Molly is going crazy. She'll be here soon. This is...oh, I remembered, John Wick."

When Ron saw John was there, he immediately wondered where Harry had gone.

Hagrid said with a straight face: "Knockturn Alley."

"That's great!" shouted the Weasley twins.

Ron was also envious because his family never allowed children to go to Knockturn Alley.

"It's not great at all. If it weren't for John, Harry might have been taken away." Hagrid was still worried about the old witch just now.

This aroused the curiosity of the Weasley twins even more, and they pestered Harry to tell him about his heroic deeds.

"Harry - oh, darling, it's so good that you're okay!"

Mrs. Weasley came out of breath. She took out a coat brush from her bag and cleaned Harry in all directions.

Mr. Weasley took Harry's glasses and restored them with a tap of his wand.

The youngest daughters of the family were surrounding Harry, sweeping away Harry's ashes with their mother.

"I have to leave. See you at Hogwarts."

Hagrid was a little overwhelmed by Molly's enthusiasm, so he had to leave as soon as possible.

"Oh, John, thank you so much, you are a very good friend."

Knowing that it was John who showed up in time to help Harry, Molly felt even more fond of this good-looking child.

Even Ginny came over to say thank you, and John touched his nose and said that he just happened to meet her.

But soon Molly seemed to treat John as her own child, and her enthusiastic attitude made John a little difficult to bear.

"Ahem, I've already entered Gringotts. I'll wait for you outside."

Seeing that they were about to go in, John quickly found an excuse to get away.

After waiting at the door of Gringotts for a while, John saw Mr. Weasley and Hermione's father coming out arm in arm.

They will meet at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in an hour, and now Molly has to take Ginny to buy clothes first.

The four of them strolled along the winding street paved with cobblestones.

"John, you went abroad? It's really enviable." Ron heard that John went to France and wanted to go there.

"Where have you been in France, Paris?"

Hermione knew that John had mentioned it in his letter, but he didn't specify where he was going.

John thought for a moment and said, "I went to Paris too. There was a drunkard selling portkeys in the hideout. He gave me a broken portkey and I was chased by a fire dragon."

"Haha, John, you are so funny." Ron laughed heartily, thinking that John was teasing them.

Even Harry and Hermione thought John had a great sense of humor, but they didn't know that it was all true.

John was helpless. No one believed him when he told the truth.

The four of them visited many places in Diagon Alley and arrived at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore an hour later.

The place was already crowded with people, and a huge banner was hung in the window upstairs.

"Gilderoy Lockhart? I remember seeing this name before." Harry thought the name was familiar.

Hermione cheered and said happily: "We can meet him in person. I mean, almost all the books on the book list were written by him."

John felt a little numb when he saw the long and crowded queue. He saw Draco Malfoy.

The three children were separated by the team, and John reached the second floor with his extraordinary physical strength.

Looking at Malfoy's gritted teeth, Harry was taking photos with Lockhart.

"No, are you still envious of this?"

John leaned over, speechless.

Malfoy was startled and almost fell, but John caught him and survived.

"Look at that Harry Potter, his tail is almost up to the sky."

Malfoy was very dissatisfied with Harry being in the limelight, but Harry just felt like he was dead.

Chapter 48 Hospital and Neville

Seeing the jealous look on his face, John shrugged and prepared to buy books first.

But when he found all the books, he saw Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy fighting.

The Weasley twins next to them cheered loudly. If Malfoy couldn't defeat the whole family, they would probably rush forward.

"What is this thing called?"

John watched Mr. Malfoy's eyes black and blue as Mr. Weasley grabbed a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Toadstools" and smashed it.

Hagrid came over to separate the two entangled people, and Mr. Malfoy said harsh words.

Throwing the book into Ginny's cauldron.

"They are quite measured and know not to use magic."

It looked like the two of them were fighting fiercely, but in fact neither of them used magic.

John knew that both of them were afraid of getting into trouble with the Ministry of Magic. After all, using magic was not the same as an ordinary fight.

"Oh my God, is there a fight here?"

Watson exclaimed, and then he remembered that his son seemed to want to buy books.

When she came over, she saw books in a mess on the ground. Mrs. Wick looked worriedly for her son.

John watched Mr. Weasley being taught like a son by Molly. He also bought all his things and said goodbye to Harry and the others.

When saying goodbye, John saw an old book similar to a diary in Ginny's cauldron. After thinking that the Weasley family seemed to use old books, he didn't think much about it.

The family is Muggle, and John cannot use Floo powder to leave.

The family also spent a day in London before going back.

After returning home, John began tinkering with materials, and the materials Hagrid purchased for him were mailed one after another in the next few days.

…

"These writings are really wonderful."

John closed the book written by Gilderoy Lockhart. The story above was very exciting.

Especially some of them contain some hidden magical principles, so John has to read them all.

"Is this Defense Against the Dark Arts professor capable?"

Judging from Lockhart's wonderful story, this man is probably a very good teacher with his rich experience.

"It does make me look forward to it."

Putting the book on the table, John took out a piece of dragon tooth powder.

This thing is the tooth of a fire dragon, with slight poison on it.

He mixed dragon tooth powder with other things to make a viscous liquid, and applied it to Ironwick's sword.

After applying it evenly, Ironwick's Sword turned a little black, and after a while it turned into a mirror surface.

"Use dragon teeth to coat him with a layer of demon-breaking effect, but I don't know what the actual effect will be."
