Chapter 192

"Did you suppress him too hard?" Malfoy felt that he might have bullied people too hard.

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

Malfoy was thinking about it when he caught sight of Astoria out of the corner of his eye and immediately put the matter behind him.

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

"ah?"

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

John couldn't help but sigh, after all, it was just a papery family relationship.

With a week until the Yule Ball, Daphne debated whether or not to speak out.

At this time, Fleur came over generously and invited John.

"John, do you want to be my dance partner?"

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Daphne, and a smile appeared on her lips.

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

"No!" Daphne stood up suddenly.

Fleur raised her eyebrows and said casually: "You didn't invite John, why can't you let John be my dance partner?"

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

As a result, these two people were only a few days away from the Yule Ball, and there was no movement at all.

As the eldest sister, Fleur might as well come in and help them.

As for letting John invite Daphne?

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

Anyone who is not blind in the Star Club can see what Daphne means. Unfortunately, John is the one who is blind at such a young age.

Daphne was speechless and stammered in defense: "John is not free, right."

She just said it casually, but John actually nodded.

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

As soon as he finished speaking, Fleur had a weird look on her face, and Daphne couldn't help but regret it and asked: "John, aren't you going to participate?"

The girl's eyes were full of expectation, but it was a pity that John was really not free that day.

John responded to her with one sentence: "I'm sorry."

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

After Fleur left, Malfoy returned with a happy face.

He didn't notice that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, and when he saw the two people getting very close, he asked very desperately: "What's wrong? John, did you invite Daphne?"

What greeted him was Daphne's murderous eyes.

By coincidence, Astoria came over at this time and asked, "What dress should I wear?"

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

…

Neville kept waking up from his dreams recently. He dreamed that his parents were kidnapped by someone who infiltrated the school, and that person told him to leave the school in a sinister way.

The figures around him shook, and they laughed loudly, laughing at Neville.

"If you don't leave school, 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 muttered indistinctly.

"fine."

In reply, Neville saw Ron fall down and go back to sleep.

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

He got up and walked out of bed, went 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 penetrating.

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

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

The day after tomorrow was the Yule Ball, and Neville had not invited a partner.

After he walked to the sofa and sat down for a while, the badge of stars that he had been reluctant to take off vibrated.

He was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember that he had subconsciously put on the badge.

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

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

It was a message from Percy.

"Neville, I can't believe it, John is crazy."

Neville was stunned when he saw this message, and he quickly asked what was wrong.

I see messages popping up constantly.

"John left school."

"Heinrich said he kept talking about the hospital and stuff."

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

“To imprison people where they will never be found.”

"I followed him. In that direction, it seemed like the Whomping Willow."

"No, he found me!"

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

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

…

Inside the Screaming Shack.

John sat there with two wands on the table.

Percy said the last sentence of 'Save me', looked at John with a complicated expression, and said, "Is this really what you want?"

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 Society of Stars isolates Neville, while Percy is responsible for spreading some goodwill.

Neville had already regarded Percy as a life-saving straw. This straw was about to be pulled out by John, so 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 could actually kidnap people out of the hospital.

On the bed, the Longbottoms slept peacefully. It was John who contacted Tang Mi and Jin and stole them out of the hospital overnight.

They needed to get everything done 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 lit up 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 do some stretching, John rubbed his cheeks with both hands.

Put the anonymous wand into your waist, and rely on this wand to help Neville successfully counterattack later.

After waiting like this for a while, John heard the door being broken.

He was immediately possessed by the movie king and turned his head to look behind him in surprise.

Before he could put away the ferocious look and paleness on his face, Percy fell there where John's wand pointed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"John!"

Neville, who was originally upset because of Percy's last words, was completely shattered.

He growled and charged at John, who had a trace of panic on his face.

Of course, it was just a trace, and soon John reacted and shot a banishing spell with his wand, knocking Neville away.

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

Neville hit the wall with a solid thud from his back.

John looked at Neville condescendingly, with a look of disdain on his lips.

"Why," Neville asked angrily, "why do you want to attack Percy? Isn't he a mate?"

"partner?"

John smiled coldly, seeming to be mocking Neville's naivety.

"They're just my subordinates. You really think I would treat the Star Club as a friend. You're ridiculous."

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

“Crucio”

Neville screamed, his eyes bloodshot, staring at John.

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

"It's just a tool I use to gain power. Let me tell you, Neville Longbottom, you make me sick. You are a pure-blooded person, but you are nothing more than a local dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy."

He sneered and defeated Neville's last line of defense.

"Shut up!!!"

Neville roared like a trapped animal, and two figures appeared in the corner of his eye. He looked in the direction of the bed, his eyes widening.

"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. It's because you don't want to disappear that I did this."

Seemingly because he was sure of winning, John approached Neville leisurely.

Neville wanted to kill John.

Suddenly, he discovered the wand that was 'inadvertently' exposed on John's waist.

Blessed to the soul, Neville calculated the distance.

When the distance was enough, Neville roared and slammed into John with all his strength.

John was caught off guard and knocked down.
