Riddle was on the brink of erupting, his furious red eyes locked onto Kyle.
Even when he’d been called a monster back at the orphanage, he hadn’t hated anyone this much. But now, this boy had shown up. He was convinced beyond a doubt: He was the true heir to Slytherin. And yet, Kyle had the audacity to call him an impostor!
In a reckless surge of rage...
2025-01-03 14:02:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe quiet in the bed next to him felt almost oppressive. Even Madam Pomfrey had fallen asleep, so Kyle quietly slipped on his shoes and clothes, and crept out of the Hospital Wing. The castle was eerily silent.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he remembered that Professor McGonagall had mentioned Dumbledore wouldn’t be at school today. But that didn’t matter, because he soon ran i...
2025-01-03 14:01:26 +0000 UTC View PostHagrid had been taken away by the Ministry of Magic, but a deep unease lingered throughout Hogwarts. The monster in the Chamber of Secrets remained at large, able to strike again at any moment.
The professors maintained an air of calm, diligently escorting students from one class to the next during the day and patrolling the castle halls at night. Despite Lockhart’s repeated assurances ...
2025-01-02 14:26:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe stack of parchment was nearly an inch thick. After Cedric sat down, he handed it to Kyle.
“What are these…?” Kyle asked, intrigued.
“Photos of magical items,” Cedric explained. “I got them from the library at the start of term. I’m not sure if they’ll help, but I thought you might want to take a look.”
Kyle opened the stack and began flipping through the ...

You will be escorted by a professor to each of your classes, and wandering the castle alone before your professor arrives is strictly forbidden.

The students sat at the long tables in t...
2025-01-02 14:24:44 +0000 UTC View PostKyle's strategy proved highly effective.
After handing over a thick stack of greeting cards to the Dwarves, they finally managed to enjoy a somewhat normal morning. Although a few Dwarves still managed to slip out from hidden corners, Kyle was able to dodge them in time using his Disillusionment Charm.
Regarding the lessons... Professors McGonagall and Flitwick had agreed to Kyle's ...

A small table was set up in the basement, adorned with wine and food. Lynd shook his head and replied, “Lord Varys, you should know that I don't drink.”
Varys, in his characteristic feminine tone, said, “Ah, yes, I forgot! A commendable habit, truly. Many conspiracies and deaths have been acco...
2025-01-02 14:21:01 +0000 UTC View PostClint Mott had heard of the most talked-about legendary figure in King’s Landing over the past two days, even if his health had kept him from going out.
He simply felt that the rumors surrounding the Bear Hunter were exaggerated. After all, the idea of one man beheading a hundred people in the fighting arena sounded like a myth—hard to believe.
However, after seeing Lynd wield t...
2025-01-02 14:18:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe news of Lynd's knighthood spread through King's Landing the next day, sparking a mix of envy and resentment. Many warriors, still seeking their own chance at knighthood, were left bitter by the tale of a fifteen-year-old who had achieved this honor after just a few months as a squire—and by none other than the king himself. Rumors began to swirl, with some questioning whether Lynd might s...
2025-01-01 11:13:46 +0000 UTC View PostLynd was not surprised that Varys knew about the girl he had saved. After all, Varys had his little birds scattered throughout King's Landing and was likely aware of even the most trivial details—perhaps even what color Lord Tywin's underwear was tonight, not to mention Lynd’s own affairs.
So, instead of looking startled, Lynd simply nodded calmly and said, “So it was her. She is in...
2025-01-01 11:13:07 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough Cedric had acted quickly, he’d gravely underestimated the situation—or perhaps he hadn’t realized just how popular he truly was. As the first Hufflepuff Seeker in ages, known for his looks, gentleness, and patience, Cedric was practically a celebrity at Hogwarts.
He had barely made it a hundred meters from the Great Hall when five dwarves came sprinting toward him, their go...

Kyle blinked, surprised. “What do you mean?”
“Do you know what they’re always going on about?” Mikel sighed, putting his quill aside. “Every time I’m in their common room, I hear someone loudly talking abo...

Everyone had grown accustomed to her constant presence in the common room, always nudging Ron and Harry to stay on top of their homework. The sudden silence felt odd.
At first, Ron tried to deny knowing anything, but his siblings knew him too well and...

It felt like a dream.

George blinked at Ron’s words. “Maybe you’ll even get a nice report card at the end of the school year.”
“Don’t gloat,” Ron yawned.
“What are you two talking about?”
Just then, Harry had come out of the dormitory, and Fred and George quickly changed the subject. Teasing Ron was all well and good, but they'd...

In the Room of Requirement, he transformed a table into a small, half-meter-tall stone statue, then controlled it to slice the apple in front of him cleanly in half. A short distance away, Hermione diligently took down his words, addin...
2024-12-31 12:23:19 +0000 UTC View PostChristmas was approaching, but the mood in the castle was far from festive. The attacks on Nearly Headless Nick and the Bloody Baron had turned the already tense atmosphere into one of genuine fear. Even the ghosts couldn’t escape the dread...

Students were desperate to leave, and even those who had previously planned ...

They exchanged incredulous glances before turning back to Lynd, staring at him as if he were a creature from a fable. The very idea of forging armor out of Valyrian steel was beyond belief.

After seeing Harry out, Dumbledore reached over to gently stroke Fawkes, who had just risen from the ashes, his feathers sparse and wrinkled.

Fred and George were the loudest, waving a Quidditch-style banner they’d whipped up in record time. Cedric and Cho added to the chaos, appearing with a confetti gun and sending colorful bits of paper showering over the stage.
Kyle, feeling a mix of pride and embarrassment, wished he could pretend he didn’t know them.
The second day of the group competition was supposed to be the highlight of the tournament: the jousting competition among the Knights. In the past, this would undoubtedly have been the event everyone anticipated most. However, after witnessing the spectacular group competition the previous day, the jousting now seemed underwhelming in comparison.
Even ordinary folk found it lackluster, a...

Thanks to Neville’s enthusiastic word-of-mouth promotion, more and more students started showing up, eager to buy what they were calling “Anti-Demon Crystals.” It was a name they had invented themselves, but the mystique around it only fueled demand.
Fred and George were astonished. The next day at lun...
