“All the details are written on the second parchment in the envelope. You will depart from King's Cross Station on the first of September. There is also a ticket inside.”
In a small room, a young Dumbledore, dressed in an elegant fuchsia velvet suit, sat on the only stool.
Opposite him was a handsome boy, slightly taller than most his age, with dark hair and a pale complexion. 2025-04-29 11:07:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Katie Bell was sent to St. Mungo's that afternoon.
Although Kyle had managed to dispel the dark magic in the Opal Necklace in time, sparing her from significant harm, it was discovered she had been struck by an Imperius Curse. St. Mungo's, being more specialized in treating damage caused by Unforgivable Curses, was a better fit for her recovery. The Hospital Wing simply couldn't provide t...
2025-04-29 11:06:27 +0000 UTC View PostAs the armies of the North set out, Highgarden seethed with rage over the annulment of the engagement between Joffrey and the Little Rose.
Originally, Highgarden had hesitated about whether to support Renly. After all, the Little Rose was betrothed to Joffrey I—so even if they backed Renly, the outcome wouldn't be much different from the current situation. Most in Highgarden saw no need...
2025-04-29 11:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post“My daughter’s a fool, and my grandson’s an idiot. What kind of mind comes up with such a ridiculous decision?” In the Westerlands coalition camp at Stoney Sept, Tywin Lannister slammed the intelligence report onto the table, sneering with open contempt.
Kevan Lannister gestured for the nobles, commanders, and knights in the tent to leave. Once they had, he picked up the report an...

Harry and Ron had no idea what had just happened, nor did they see anything wrong with the package. After seeing Hermione nearly knocked over, they marched straight toward Malfoy, ready to give him a lesson.
With Malfoy’s two large bodyguards absent, they had a real chance in a two-on-one fight.
But before they could take two steps, a tremendous fo...
2025-04-28 11:03:13 +0000 UTC View PostAfter breakfast, everyone gathered in the foyer.
The atmosphere in the castle was tense, and it seemed like students were eager to escape its confines. This time, an unusually large number of them were heading to Hogsmeade, forming a long line in the entrance hall. Filch, as usual, stationed himself by the oak door, meticulously checking off names on his list while constantly scanning the...
2025-04-28 11:02:48 +0000 UTC View PostAfter leaving the Tower of the Hand, Lynd led Sansa Stark and Jeyne Poole toward the castle gates.
When they reached the square before the main gate, Queen Cersei was already there, surrounded by a large group of Gold Cloaks, with the Kingsguard protecting her at the center.
Seeing the scene, Sansa and Jeyne shrank behind Lynd, their eyes filled with worry as they glanced around. 2025-04-28 10:57:03 +0000 UTC View Post
“Lord Protector?” Lynd, seated in the mourning hall, let out a soft chuckle when he heard Varys announce the new royal decree.
“That little fellow didn’t ask me to come and pay my respects?”
Varys smiled. “His Grace was so shaken by your presence, he couldn’t think straight. The meeting ended in a rush.”
Lynd took the decree, glanced over it, then tossed it asi...
2025-04-28 10:56:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, The Daily Prophet indeed published a two-page article on the attack against Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, at the Ministry of Magic.
As expected, the news caused an uproar at Hogwarts. The Great Hall buzzed with chatter during breakfast that day.
Kyle glanced around the Hufflepuff table. Susan wasn’t there, and he assumed she...
2025-04-27 13:45:41 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time Kyle returned to Hogsmeade, night had fallen. The shop windows along the street glowed with a mix of bright and dim lights, casting a serene and peaceful atmosphere over the village.
Kyle wasn’t in a rush to return to school. Since he was already here, he decided to stop by The Three Broomsticks to pick up some drinks unavailable at Hogwarts. He ordered a large bucket of But...
2025-04-27 13:45:14 +0000 UTC View PostMeanwhile, inside the Red Keep, all the remaining unarrested nobles had gathered in the great hall. The very fact that they stood there, untouched, already spoke to their political allegiance.
Near the entrance, a crowd of commoners from King’s Landing had been brought in specifically for the occasion. These so-called citizens were idle drifters—useless for most things except their mo...
2025-04-27 13:39:37 +0000 UTC View Post“This is intelligence from King’s Landing that Balin just delivered. Take a look.”
Lynd gathered his subordinates and handed them the documents in his hands.
Everyone took a careful look at the documents, and expressions of surprise and concern spread across their faces.
“Let’s hear it,” Lynd said once they’d all finished reading. “What do you make of it?” 2025-04-27 13:39:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Kyle had expected to be taken to 12 Grimmauld Place, but instead, Fawkes led him to the second floor of the Ministry of Magic, directly into the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
Before Kyle arrived, the place was already crowded with familiar faces: Chris, Mr. Weasley, Fred, George, Auror Kingsley, Tonks... And, of course, Dumbledore.
When Kyle entered, Dumbledore was bent ove...
2025-04-26 10:53:46 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been over a week since Dumbledore last left the Headmaster's Office. During that time, he returned briefly to give Harry a lesson before disappearing again.
As for the lesson's content, Kyle wasn’t certain, though he could probably guess. It was likely an open and honest conversation with Harry. Perhaps it was about the Order of the Phoenix or the Horcruxes. After all, when Harry...
2025-04-26 10:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostFor the people of Redemption Town, the daily patrols of the Stone Giants were nothing unusual anymore. Aside from newcomers who still gawked and exclaimed in wonder as the massive beings passed by, the residents of Redemption Town—and even those from other cities across Summerhall—had long since grown used to their presence.
However, the Stone Giants that had appeared over the past tw...
2025-04-26 10:47:35 +0000 UTC View PostSensing that something major was about to happen in King's Landing, Lynd had no intention of staying to watch it unfold. As planned, he left the city and returned to Summerhall.
He knew very well that Varys had sought him out before leaving mainly to test his stance.
Just as he had told Eddard Stark, he wouldn’t get involved in the struggle—unless it interfered with his plans re...
2025-04-26 10:47:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Professor Snape, what's wrong?”
Kyle, who had nearly been knocked over, glanced at Snape, who was hurrying away, and asked doubtfully, “Professor, you’re not docking his salary, are you?”
“Of course not,” Dumbledore replied, adjusting his demeanor with a smile. “In fact, the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts receives ten Galleons more than professors of oth...
2025-04-25 11:18:46 +0000 UTC View PostAs expected, by the end of Friday’s potions lesson, Kanna had finally managed to secure the bottle of Felix Felicis.
Her Polyjuice Potion was nearly flawless, so much so that even Slughorn couldn’t find a single fault with it. Kyle’s potion was also impressive, but when compared to Kanna’s, his brew was slightly darker in color. This was due to his adding the Boomslang skin a litt...
2025-04-25 11:18:17 +0000 UTC View PostEddard Stark’s face darkened with fury as he listened to everything his wife told him. He hadn’t imagined that even with their child hovering so close to death, someone would still try to assassinate him.
Then, overwhelmed by grief, he gently took Catelyn’s hand and looked at the bandages wrapped around her palm. The sight filled him with pain for the suffering she’d endured—and...
2025-04-25 11:12:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe day after the tournament ended, Lynd prepared to leave King’s Landing and return to Summerhall the way he came.
Almost at the same time, a merchant ship from White Harbor docked at the city's harbor. A hooded woman in disguise, accompanied by a short, stocky, white-haired old man carrying a longsword, disembarked from the ship.
“My lady, what’s our next move?” the old ma...

Their schedule had two consecutive Potions lessons, marking their first class with Professor Slughorn.
When they reached the corridor outside the Dungeon classroom, severa...
2025-04-24 11:04:07 +0000 UTC View PostKyle and Kanna hurried to the classroom, their conversation having delayed them, but they managed to arrive just before class began. Snape was already there, standing at the front with a piercing gaze fixed on the latecomers.
Truthfully, Snape’s mood had been sour ever since learning a few days earlier that Kanna had snuck back from France. But what could he do? The moment he heard abou...

One after another, people who normally wouldn’t show their faces are showing up at my door.” Watching Jaime hurry toward him, Lynd already had a good idea of the reason for his visit, but still teased, “So what brings you here this time? Don’t tell me you’ve got another letter containing Jon Arryn’s last wishes for me?”
“Jon Arryn’s last wishe...

The severity of the punishment increased significantly, and in the days that followed, Eddard began to look at Lynd with a faint hint of disapproval.
Lynd didn’t appear at the Red Keep again for some time, choosing instead to sta...

Of course, that was assuming no one decided to maliciously lower her score...

2025-04-23 11:11:20 +0000 UTC View PostHarry had never endured such a grueling lunch. For the rest of the afternoon, Slughorn rambled—half the time about topics he found interesting, the other half about the past.
He recounted numerous anecdotes about famous wizards, mentioning how they had all joined an organization called the Slug Club during their time at Hogwarts. Slughorn proudly explained that he had founded the club, ...
2025-04-23 11:10:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe Black Cat was a relatively new brothel on Silk Street, having opened just two years ago. Its unique feature was that all the prostitutes were from the Summer Isles. Their dark, exotic skin and strong, athletic bodies—so different from the usual soft and delicate courtesans—gave the place an air of raw, primal allure.
Tyrion was a regular at the Black Cat. He was fond of that exoti...

By the time Harry left the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, he had only a few Galleons left in his pocket. He doubted he would have parted with even those if it hadn't been for the school-related expenses he needed to cover.
