They're back. They're all back.
This moment, just like that moment.
Harry rolled swiftly across the ground, narrowly dodging the spear thrust at him by a centaur. Arrows whizzed past, unable to even graze the hem of his robes—some buried themselves in the barren earth, while others found their mark in the centaurs themselves.
And Harry—Harry wielded a totem pole with wild,...
2025-02-26 00:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostHarry thought for a moment before deciding to tuck the wand back into his robes. After all, he was still counting on the goblin to take him to the vault.
He truly hadn’t expected this—after not seeing this wand for so long, had this old companion developed new abilities?
Perhaps it had absorbed Ranrok’s energy?
Then again, it wasn’t surprising—countless goblins had p...
2025-02-24 14:07:24 +0000 UTC View Post“Is that their shaman?” Harry suddenly asked.
He was referring to an elderly centaur who had finally made an appearance. The fur covering his lower body was no longer as glossy as that of the younger centaurs; instead, it had dulled to a dreary gray. His bare upper torso was adorned with strings of bone ornaments—centaurs rejected clothing, believing that remaining unadorned brought...
2025-02-24 14:07:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe Dark wizard before him never expected that this young man would start by using soul projection on him.
More importantly, he did it wandlessly.
Dear Merlin, who could understand this? Were people these days just casually casting Unforgivable Curses without wands?
He felt as if he were floating among the clouds, surrounded by soft billows, sinking into...
2025-02-23 16:22:55 +0000 UTC View PostNews of Quirrell fainting quickly spread throughout the school.
The next day, at the dining tables in the Great Hall, both professors and students were buzzing with discussions about the incident. Even the usually reclusive Alchemy professor and the Ancient Runes professor had made an appearance, whispering among themselves like students.
As usual, Professor Kettleburn was the most ...
2025-02-23 16:22:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe suitcase that had piqued his curiosity suddenly appeared right before him, within arm’s reach.
No, something wasn’t right. The suitcase he had seen in his divination was newer, without the frayed edges. The one the elderly man carried bore the marks of time—its faded patches and scuffs spoke of long years and many journeys.
"Oh! Newt!" Hagrid exclaimed, his voice filled wi...
2025-02-23 16:22:23 +0000 UTC View PostWhile at school, Harry did indeed write to Uncle Vernon, but he hadn’t asked him to come and pick him up—he had merely sent a polite note saying, “I’m coming back.”
Of course… he had chosen his words very carefully, making sure to avoid offending his rather sensitive uncle.
What he hadn’t expected was that Uncle Vernon would actually send a reply via Hedwig, and even m...
2025-02-22 15:13:04 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, he strapped a short dagger to his leg. Though it was called a short dagger, that was only in comparison to Hagrid’s massive frame— in Harry’s hands, it was practically a longsword.
Next, Hagrid took down a giant bow hanging on the wall, along with a few arrows as thick as two fingers each, their arrowheads gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
Under normal circumstances, H...
2025-02-22 15:12:58 +0000 UTC View PostBringing magical creatures into the Muggle world was indeed a highly illegal act.
Especially when it came to unicorns—legendary creatures even among magical beasts. Doing so would practically guarantee an all-expenses-paid trip to Azkaban, complete with personalized mentoring from Dementors.
What? You're asking about the gold-tier mentors?
Well, that would be none other than...
2025-02-21 02:23:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhat... just happened?
This was the first thought that surfaced in Quirrell’s numb mind.
Suddenly losing consciousness was a peculiar sensation. At first, it felt like being freed from a long and agonizing dream, but the moment you opened your eyes again, you were met with a fleeting sense of confusion, followed by a deep, bone-weary exhaustion and the lingering echoes of phantom ...

2025-02-21 02:21:25 +0000 UTC View PostHarry suddenly felt awkward, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.
"So that’s how it was…" Harry felt a twinge of guilt. "Actually, at the time… uh, I was thinking, if only the Board of Governors could do something about Miss Malfoy. She always called me lazy and arrogant. Back then, I thought she was really annoying..."
In the portrait, Veratia almost burst out laughing. She he...

If you ever achieve any breakthroughs in the future, you can also submit your work to them," Professor McGonagall said enthusiastically.

"I will," Harry joked. "If I actually manage to discover something."

2025-02-19 12:28:47 +0000 UTC View PostHarry initially wanted to come up with an excuse to brush the matter off, but then he suddenly thought of the missing Cassandra.
Crossing his arms, he looked down at Draco from above.
"Of course I care about her. In fact—she’s my friend."
"Could it be... that notebook in your hand is also..."
Draco pointed at the notebook in Harry’s hand in shock, his mind instantl...

2025-02-18 06:49:11 +0000 UTC View PostAs for Professor McGonagall... If she hadn’t known before that this hairpin harbored a spirit—an embodiment of her lingering thoughts of her late husband—she might not have felt anything unusual.
But now that she knew, now that she had personally performed the transfiguration herself—
Looking at the adorable ginger cat grooming itself on the desk, she couldn’t understand w...
2025-02-18 06:48:33 +0000 UTC View PostHarry felt that the most incomprehensible thing in the world was women—and Cassandra was even harder to understand than most women.
But for some reason, Poppy had a way of handling Cassandra better than anyone else. And it wasn’t just Poppy—even Veratia seemed to understand Cassandra quite well.
However, neither of them was willing to share their secret with him, so he had no ...

"Merlin, don't apologize, Harry, really, don’t," Percy sighed. "I didn’t think much of it at first, but the moment you apologized, it just felt... strange."
Harry burst out laughing. He had to admit, apologizing as the victor did come across as rather ironic—almost as if he wer...
2025-02-16 23:16:31 +0000 UTC View PostHarry naturally hadn’t given that matter much thought. He tiptoed back to the Gryffindor common room, planning to get a good night’s sleep.
The next morning, it was still Potions class.
But now, he finally understood why Professor Snape treated Gryffindor so harshly. His feelings toward Snape were complicated, to say the least.
At the very least, that night, Snape had c...
Victor and Professor Philemon discussed the consultation matter for a while, primarily focusing on how to stabilize alchemical potions. In truth, Professor Philemon didn’t have any particularly effective solutions, but he did mention one crucial point:
“Conflicts between the properties of alchemical materials? The general solution is to find a magical item to act as a neutralizer. Com...

“Or perhaps launch a relentless flurry of attacks...
2025-02-15 06:59:49 +0000 UTC View PostFragments of memory surged like a tidal wave, and he seemed to see scenes from his childhood.
It was still that same house, those same people…
His mother held bread and wine in her hands, distributing them to the guests.
"Bug, have some more bread."
Harry saw a complex expression in his mother's eyes, something between a sigh and sorrow.
"Perhaps… you'll never ...

He didn’t spare a glance at his father, who was still bullying Snape back where they stood. Instead, he turned and followed her.
He had no desire to witness that scene any longer.
His father’s voice still rang in his ears.

The staff lounge was a long room with wooden panels lining the walls. In the center stood a few wooden tables and wardrobes.
At the moment, three or four professors were seated around the long table on the left side of the lounge. Among them was a relatively young wizard, Professor Charity Burbage of Muggle Studies, and the eldest of the group, the ever-loquacious Professor Kettleburn. 2025-02-12 23:39:24 +0000 UTC View Post
What Ron described had indeed become one of the strangest sights at Hogwarts—Snape was awarding Gryffindor points from every possible angle and for all kinds of reasons. Yet before the Gryffindor students could even begin to celebrate, they found that Professor McGonagall was going out of her way to deduct points from them at every turn.
Many upper-year students were convinced that some...

His voice was hoarse.

It was hard to imagine how such an ear-piercing scream could come from a child's throat. For a moment, Harry’s head was buzzing from the sheer volume—especially Ron’s, since he was the closest.
Harry couldn't help but burst into laughter, but his laughter barely lasted two seconds before coming to an abrupt halt.
