Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

After leaving Dumbledore's office, John went down the spiral staircase to the first floor.

I plan to go to the library to find Hermione.

They arranged to study together today, but actually Hermione just wanted to get close to him.

After hearing his whole story yesterday, Hermione felt a chill of fear.

John's parents, along with himself, nearly lost their lives in Voldemort's plot.

So she didn't know if it had triggered some kind of psychological mechanism.

Suddenly she became unusually clingy to John, as if she was afraid he would disappear.

If he hadn't said today that he wanted to go to Dumbledore to learn how to use the Portkey to ensure his family's safety in the future...

She didn't even want to let John leave.

"Merrick!"

Just then, three people suddenly blocked John's way.

Leading the group was Draco Malfoy, followed by Goyle and Crabbe.

All three of them had faces full of anger and hatred.

"It's because of you that my father got arrested by the Ministry of Magic!"

Malfoy raised his wand, pointed it at John, and said with immense anger.

"You even killed my father! You..."

Gore roared back just as loudly.

"Shut up, Gore!"

Draco was already angry, and after being interrupted, he yelled at Goyle.

"Why should I?! I'm going to kill him!"

Goyle ignored Draco and roared with red eyes, his only thought now being revenge for his father.

He received news of his father's death last night and had been holding back for this moment for a long time.

John remained silent throughout, merely observing them indifferently.

Crabbe's father had also died in the same battle, and he no longer wanted to listen to Draco. He simply swung his wand and fired a brutal stun spell at John.

A blinding red light burst forth from the tip of the wand, but John didn't even blink.

Just as the spell was about to strike, he lightly raised his wand with his left hand, deflecting the red light away.

"Damn it!"

Draco ignored them and waved his wand: "Petrify them all!"

Goyle roared and charged at John, brandishing his wand: "Firestorm!"

Flames and petrification spells struck together, but without exception, John flicked them towards the ceiling with the tip of his wand.

The fire spell was directly shattered, while the petrification spell failed to petrify anything.

John walked slowly toward them, his steps unhurried.

Seeing that John was completely unharmed, the three of them took a step back.

Then they used all their skills to attack John again.

But it still couldn't do any harm to John.

The three of them were forced to retreat repeatedly by John alone.

"Holy crap, damn it..."

John had already moved closer to Draco.

boom!

Suddenly, John punched Draco hard in the stomach.

Draco knelt on the ground, his stomach churning, and he even choked on bile.

Seeing this, Gore also wanted to rush up and punch John.

But John raised his hand, and a stone pillar suddenly jutted out from the wall, knocking Goy flying horizontally and sending him crashing into the wall.

Crabbe, seeing this, tried to run away, but John waved him away again.

He was directly controlled by the Levitation Charm and slammed hard against the wall, spitting out blood.

Finally, John stomped heavily on Draco's chest, the sole of his boot grinding against the expensive Slytherin robes with a creaking sound as the leather tightened.

Draco felt his ribs crack under the weight of his boots.

John finally spoke for the first time.

"You should be glad this is school."

"If it were outside of school, you could be reincarnated along with your beloved father."

John spoke coldly to Gore and Crabbe.

"Since they killed people, they should have been prepared to be killed themselves."

"You too."

"As for you, Malfoy, you can try to challenge me again. I wouldn't mind letting your father in prison also receive news of your death."

John spoke these words without any emotional fluctuation; his voice was as calm as if he were discussing the weather.

But Draco could sense that John was absolutely serious...

Having witnessed Mr. Weasley nearly being killed, Neville's parents lay in St. Mungo's for over a decade.

Now his parents were almost killed, and Mr. David, whom he had only met twice, died because of him.

John's attitude towards the Death Eaters was simply to kill them as soon as possible.

And those three Death Eater descendants weren't exactly good people either. If they wanted to follow in their fathers' footsteps, John wouldn't mind helping them reunite.

John's shoe sole slowly loosened, and Draco coughed up a mouthful of blood, his pupils still filled with lingering fear.

John then let out a soft sigh of relief, returned to normal, and turned to leave without giving them another glance.

......

library.

John casually approached Hermione.

"John, you're here."

Upon seeing John arrive, Hermione grabbed his wrist and pulled him to sit down beside her.

Her desk was also covered with various books, but not for studying.

Instead, it covers various wizarding career paths, introductions to the functions of different departments within the Ministry of Magic, and recruitment standards over the years.

Hermione, what are you looking at?

John asked curiously.

The OWLS exam is coming up soon.

Professor McGonagall said that we should take this time to think about our future career plans.

"To better cope with different directions, we need to make corresponding adjustments and efforts."

Hermione pushed the wizard career planning guide in front of John.

"So what do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to work for the Ministry of Magic!" Hermione said very seriously.

"Oh...the Ministry of Magic."

John nodded thoughtfully.

To be honest, he had never thought about what he would do in the future.

His strengths right now are spells, polymorph, black magic resistance, and potions.

The others weren't bad, but they weren't top-notch either.

After all, all his energy was focused on becoming stronger.

"Which department within the Ministry of Magic do you want to go to?"

"The Enforcement Division," Hermione replied without hesitation.

"Wow, Hermione, that's a pretty hardcore goal of yours."

The Department of Law Enforcement is arguably the most central department within the Ministry of Magic.

The Auror's office is under its jurisdiction, and even Dementors have to obey its commands.

Most of the Ministers of Magic have risen through the ranks from the Department of Law Enforcement.

"Of course! Let me tell you, if you do anything illegal again, I'll lock you up in the dark!"

As Hermione spoke, she gave John a mock threat.

"Is it the Ministry of Magic's dark room, or your own dark room?"

John smiled and asked in return.

Hermione was taken aback by the question at first, but quickly realized what it meant.

Blushing, she slapped John's arm, her ears turning red: "You, you rascal!"
