“Good morning.” Lucius greeted him with a smile. “Are you here to buy books as well?”
There was no real reason for him and Arthur to fall out completely. After all, there had never been any direct conflict between them, so they maintained a polite and civil front.
Besides, given Harry’s good relationship with the Weasley family, Lucius had long forgotten about the so-calle...

No longer keeping it a secret, Fred handed the broomstick he had been hiding behind his back to Harry.
"Go on, unwrap it," Wood said with a grin. "You’re going to love it."
Without hesitation, Harry tore open the brown wrapping paper in a few quick moves, revealing the broom inside. The polished mahogany handl...

Harry immediately recalled the girl named Merope from Draco’s memory.
According to Lucius, the mark on Draco’s arm should be the Dark Mark, Voldemort’s exclusive symbol.
From this, it was clear that the so-called "Merope" was actually Voldemort himself.
The thought made Harry feel nauseous.
Voldemort, the self-proclaimed Dark Lo...

"Oh, Harry." Dumbledore sighed. "At the very least, I can assure you that tonight, when the troll appeared, Professor Quirrell was under my watch the entire time. We cannot execute someone without concrete evidence."

The envelope was extremely formal, embossed with the official seal of the Ministry of Magic.

A trunk encountering a Niffler is like a battlefield meeting a marauding demon—utter chaos, complete havoc, and a desperate struggle doomed to fail.
No such treasure?
Harry maintained his smile, but the amusement in his eyes faded.
He was patient and tolerant—but that didn’t mean he could tolerate negligence from Gringotts.
If it were merely a matter of a few Galleons, he might have let it slide. But due to their inaction, he and Veratia had lost an incalculable amount of alchemical materials—materials that were cruc...
