I swung my greatsword at Hogwarts

"I hope you can treat this place well and become an excellent and kind wizard at the same time."

"Although the lion is powerful, it also needs companions. You are very powerful, but I hope you can help more people."

Gryffindor's body was shedding sawdust one by one, John came to his senses when he saw this, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Son, I'm already dead, and this is just a little bit of my soul left."

Gryffindor saw a face with a red beard where the sawdust fell. He looked at John kindly and said, "I see the future of the wizarding world from you. You have powerful talents."

"Thank you, Head of Gryffindor."

John sincerely thanked the other party. Although he had not known each other for a long time, the strength and generosity of this Gryffindor were impressive.

When the sawdust was about to dissipate completely, Gryffindor, who left his mouth open, thought of something.

He cursed: "That broken hat, there must be something wrong to assign you to Slytherin!"

Well, if Gryffindor hadn't died early, he probably wanted to throw the Sorting Hat into the water and wash it to see if it had accumulated dust on its brain.

John touched his nose in embarrassment. He didn't know what the Sorting Hat was thinking. Anyway, he was already in Slytherin, and John didn't have much opinion.

Gryffindor disappeared, and the training ground became a cozy room.

He picked up a book that recorded Gryffindor's casting.

This was very helpful to John, and John also saw something like a cheat book.

That's Gryffindor's Magic Swordsmanship.

After reading this book, John realized how lucky he was to win.

As long as you give Gryffindor a sword, you have to lose and call your father.

Putting the book in his pocket, John felt that he could learn from it.

...

hall.

John stuffed the bread into his mouth with some lack of sleep. It was already midnight after dealing with the three tests yesterday.

On the way back, he bumped into his dean catching Ye You, but fortunately he escaped with the illusion spell.

"Neville, perhaps you should resist."

Seeing that Neville's cheeks were swollen into two meat buns, John lifted the curse for him.

"Thank you John, I would, too, but I'm too weak."

Without thinking about it, he knew that Malfoy did it. John couldn't correct Malfoy for a while.

He looked at Neville with a hint of temptation in his voice.

"Neville, do you want to become stronger?"

"Become stronger?"

"Yes! Make you strong enough not to be bullied by anyone."

John's serious expression showed Neville that he meant it.

Thinking of being bullied by Malfoy and the appearance of his parents, Neville met those eyes and asked hesitantly, "What should I do?"

"After class in the afternoon, go to the Whomping Willow and wait for me."

John glanced at the time, class was about to start, he got up after finishing the bread in two or three bites.

When passing by Neville, John patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Neville, you are definitely not a mediocre person, you just haven't realized how strong you are."

Neville watched John leave blankly. During class, Neville kept thinking of John's words. He was a little distracted, and Professor Flitwick found out.

...

in the afternoon.

John walked out of the classroom after class. In the Transfiguration class, he successfully completed the transformation of a beetle into an exquisite button.

For him who already has level 3 Transfiguration, this level is simply too simple.

Gryffindor's legacy gave him three random points, and now he's left with two points after being used by Transfiguration.

Although he really wanted to use the transformation technique directly, it was obvious that he couldn't continue to upgrade at the moment.

He had no choice but to leave any point first.

Before heading to the Whomping Willow, he meets Daphne.

"John, are you going to Quidditch?"

Daphne walked beside John, and her little sister Pansy left early very wisely.

John was taken aback when he heard the words, and heard Daphne say mysteriously: "Draco's father donated a batch of new broomsticks to the Quidditch team. You flew very well in the first grade, maybe you can go to try."

"Quidditch, I'm interested, but I don't have enough time for other activities."

Unexpectedly, Malfoy would donate money to go through the back door, John couldn't help shaking his head, how unconfident he was in himself.

The previous Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team has left and the Seeker position is vacant.

Even if Malfoy doesn't donate money, it is still possible to become a Seeker with his flying level.

In the final analysis, moneyism is at work, and perhaps going in like this can make Malfoy quickly become the core position.

When Daphne heard that John wasn't interested, she stopped talking about Quidditch and turned to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Originally, she thought that this would be a powerful wizard, but after yesterday's class, she recognized Lockhart's true colors.

"I told my mum and she didn't believe it, it was too bad."

Daphne complained in John's ear, and John nodded in agreement from time to time. Suddenly, Daphne changed the subject and said, "I think it's better to let John take over as a substitute. At least we won't be pulled by the elf."

John just smiled when he heard the words, no matter how hard the school would let a student teach Defense Against the Dark Arts.

He just took it as Daphne's complaint and didn't take it to heart.

After parting ways with Daphne on the first floor, John went to the Whomping Willow.

At the Whomping Willow, before John saw Neville, he saw a little girl first.

The little girl seemed to be looking for something near the Whomping Willow, and John reminded: "I think you should get out of there, the Whomping Willow will blow you away."

The little girl stopped when she heard the sound. She turned around and said in an ethereal voice, "I'm looking for the horned snoring beast. It's a cowardly creature."

John stopped to look at the girl, and couldn't help showing a strange expression to her weird dress.

Ravenclaw robes, a necklace of butterbeer corks, and strange earrings.

John didn't say anything, he stepped forward and said, "Curved-horned snoring beast? I haven't seen it around here. My name is John Wick. Hello."

"Hi John Wick, my name is Luna Lovegood."

The two shook hands as they knew each other.

John looked at Luna, who had tousled, waist-length, dirty blond hair.

There were also dreamy-looking, bulging gray eyes with pale eyebrows.

Coupled with that outfit, it reveals a kind of madness.

"Are you a freshman in Ravenclaw?"

"Yes, I know you, John of Slytherin."

Luna's ethereal voice seemed to sing, and John shrugged at her words and said, "Hope is a good thing."

Except for the strange dress, this girl is fine, at least John is comfortable chatting with her.

Pour today's dragon dung on the Whomping Willow, and John keeps the Whomping Willow in place for a longer time.

He cut some branches and leaves from the Whomping Willow, and when he passed below, he found a secret path.

"What's this for?" Luna leaned over.

There seemed little doubt about how long John would be able to hold the Whomping Willow in place.

Of course John knew, he had seen it on the Marauder's Map, and said casually, "Maybe it leads to a haunted house."

This is the secret passage leading to the Shrieking Shack, and John has an urge to go in and take a look.

But he thought of making an appointment with Neville, so he had to wait.

After waiting for a while, John saw Neville who was running out of breath.

"Sorry John, I didn't realize until I got back to my dorm."

Neville put his hands on his knees and bent over to breathe. He saw a girl next to John, and he was a little nervous.

John introduced: "This is Luna Lovegood, a freshman in Ravenclaw."

"Hello." Luna greeted.

Neville didn't know whether it was because of running or shyness, his face turned red.

"H-Hello, my name is Neville Longbottom."

After the two got to know each other, John looked towards the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, and smiled kindly at Neville: "Then let's start the first training."

"train?"

"Yes, it makes you stronger."

John led the way, Neville followed, and Luna followed for some reason.

When they came to the Whomping Willow, Neville looked at the dark hole with some fear.

John patted him on the shoulder and said relaxedly: "Relax, there will be no ghosts, no, after all, maybe Peeves lives here."

When Peeves was mentioned, Neville suddenly felt a little bad.

Unable to resist him, John let him go in front and himself behind.

Luna followed in, she was full of curiosity about all this.

The passage was very dark, and Neville was very scared. Seeing that he had forgotten to use the Illuminating Charm, John had to remind him.

Neville tried a few times nervously before he succeeded. With the lights on, he seemed less afraid.
