Harry felt a touch of embarrassment. Guys, you could’ve mentioned the attribute points earlier.
Professor McGonagall, tempted to crack a joke, almost said, “Why don’t you leave? I liked you better when you were all defiant and untamed.” But, having just reclaimed the Quidditch Cup, she wasn’t in the mood for jesting.
Instead, she declared on the spot that she’d ...
2025-09-26 19:34:21 +0000 UTC View PostAfter finding Wood, Professor McGonagall was visibly struggling to contain her emotions. She led them to an empty classroom, gesturing for Harry to enter first.
Inside, Peeves was busy scribbling insults on the blackboard.
“Out, Peeves!” she bellowed.
Peeves tossed the chalk into the bin with a clatter, muttered a string of curses, and zoomed out of the classroom, pausing ...

Hodge couldn’t fathom the depth of emotion packed into that single word. As for himself, he was privy to far too many secrets, the greatest being that he was a transmigrator—a truth he intended to take to his grave, never to be revealed. But the experiences of Ginny, the Magician, and the Weasleys had sparked an idea, giving him a plausible excuse for the conversation ah...
2025-09-26 19:33:35 +0000 UTC View PostIgnoring the several black-robed figures sprawled haphazardly across the floor, Severus Snape dragged an unconscious Death Eater into a vast, circular room.
Everything in the room was black—the walls, the floor, the ceiling.
The dark walls were studded with identical black doors, each indistinguishable from the next, marked only by keyholes, devoid of handles or signs.

“Did you see the look on his face, that big oaf?”
The other Slytherin students chimed in with a few half-hearted remarks, glancing at Harry but saying little else.
“Shut up, Malfoy,” a Gryffindor girl snapped sharply.
“Oho, defending Longbottom?” Pansy Parkinson sneered. She was a sharp-faced Sl...
2025-09-25 15:16:23 +0000 UTC View PostFlying lessons were coming up soon. When they said "flying," they actually meant using flying broomsticks, which were pretty common among British wizards.
Harry didn't understand what was going on with the girls, but he thought the little boys' balls were pretty impressive.
"What a drag," Ron said glumly for once. "I might end up making a fool of myself on a flying broomstick right ...

His gaze lingered for a moment on the empty setting and the destructive mark etched into it, his fingers gently brushing over the rough golden surface.
Suddenly, as if struck by something utterly absurd yet amusing, he let out a chuckle, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"Well, well..." Dumbledore shook his ...

Though they didn’t fully understand, the trio agreed, as Hodge only asked them to keep quiet for a week or until the school made an official announcement.
Back in the dormitory, Hodge mulled over how to ...

Back then, he compared himself to Duke Zhou, no longer talking about being a general of the western conquest, stuck in a place where he could neither advance nor retreat.
But Harry’s mindset never wavered. He didn’t resort to schemes, didn’t make compromise...

One student, perhaps gifted in all the wrong ways, had a knack for turning potions into explosives, practically earning the title of the wizarding world’s Nobel. Harry had to step in to stop him just in time.
Naturally, Snape still docked points, claiming Harry wasn’t focused on brewing hi...

He rubbed them furiously, letting out a shout loud enough to wake the entire ship:
“Professor Dumbledore?!”
“It’s really you! That’s wonderful!”
Albus Dumbledore had returned.
At the staff table, that familiar tall figure sat at the...

And who could blame him? Being woken in the middle of the night by a large bird wasn’t exactly a recipe for cheer, even if that bird was a phoenix. So, with his hefty belly jiggling, Fudge waved his arms in agitation.
“I assure you, Hagrid will not be—” He stopped short. “What is that?”
Fudge’s eyes landed on the b...

This guy was seriously twisted—both obsessed with himself and filled with self-loathing.
Maybe he even saw himself as a freak, consumed by self-hatred, his mind warped beyond repair.
Harry even got the sense that he had a touch of self-destructive tendencies.
It was unsettling, and Harr...

Harry was deeply impressed by his first Charms lesson. Rarely had he encountered a professor so fond of teasing young witches and wizards, a stark contrast to the goblin ancestry that ran through Flitwick’s veins.
Before the lesson began, Profe...

Outside the door stood a man with neatly combed short brown hair, his features faintly reminiscent of a younger Dumbledore, though the lines were colder, harder, and his gaze entirely different.

2025-09-22 18:58:02 +0000 UTC View PostNot only Harry, Ron, and Hermione, but even Tonks, who had been peering closely at the Basilisk’s head, jumped in surprise.
Hodge pointed at the creature’s tail. He had noticed it twitch slightly earlier, but after losing its magical properties so abruptly, the Basilisk was still a bit dazed. As they spoke, it finally regained its senses, its massive head suddenly rearing high.
Keeping track of where things were in Hogwarts was no easy task, as everything seemed to be in constant motion.
The people in the portraits were always visiting one another, making them unreliable as landmarks, and Harry was certain that even the suits of armor wandered about.
Fortunately, the castle was finite in size. Even if the layout changed like a shifting map, you could memor...

When I throw out a question mark, it’s not because I’ve got a problem—it’s because I think you’ve got one.
The headmaster just announced there’s danger lurking in the school, and you’re asking me why I’m so serious? That’s not normal. Harry’s way of thinking alwa...

She sat up in bed, her mind racing to piece together the nightmare she’d just had—or perhaps it wasn’t a dream at all, but a glimpse of something real, something from the future. In her dream, she was grown, fighting alongside Harry and a group of Aurors. The details were hazy, but she remembered the...

Good news: he was on our side.
Prefect Percy stood up and shook his hand firmly, while the Weasley twins shouted loudly, “We’ve got Potter! We’ve got Potter!”

“I’m so disappointed, refund my money!” he thought bitterly.
Perhaps he’d grown used to the Sorting Hat throwing shade at them, or maybe he figured lyrics like “cunning and sly” and “achieving ends by any means” weren’t insults after all.
