Chapter 29
The Red Keep had never been so chaotic in years. The maids and the servants were conflicted on whether to mourn the loss of the King, or question the Crown’s actions against the young Healer who had once helped them all.
Many did loathe Galen, for the closure of the gates and the ports which had been ordered to be opened again by their new King, yet as rumors and whispers of his ghastly condition in the Black cells spread, they also began...

SIRIUS BLACK
A day had passed since Sirius had returned from the Black Family gathering, and yet despite that, he still had no idea what exactly he had witnessed in those Halls. He had truly dreaded going to the Black manor, expecting himself to be the centre of attention, but it was nothing like that.
His name had barely even come up at all except at the end, when his grandfather had cryptically anointed him as the heir, though h...

“Each team will be given one scroll,” the proctor explained as the teams were gathered at different entry points around the Forest of Death, as they waited for the second Exam to begin.
“Your mission for the exam is to collect the second scroll, and then make it to the central tower,” and as Hikari scanned the surroundings, he began to wonder about the impact that he might have had.
The number of teams i...

War was here, and so was their King. Despite the weather and roads, Cregan had ridden day and night to make it in time for the final battle, and now he was here at the wall leading the gathering of men and women into battle.
Yet he had not come alone. The Targaryen Princess had ridden with him, intrigued by the whispers of white walkers and family. She had come to him, seeking kin and advice, only for Cregan to remind he...

The Longbottom manor was as large as a castle, and for good reason. The place had been a castle before, and yet the Longbottoms were as compact as a family could be. Currently the castle was occupied by but a few old servants, that cared for the estate, Augusta Longbottom and Frank Longbottom.
Frank had lost both his parents a few years ago to some esoteric disease, and so silence and pain had lingered in the Longbotto...

“You two will go to Konoha,” the command came from the shadowy figure who led the secret organization known as Akatsuki, and any other shinobi would have run away in fear by now, yet the two of them did not.
For they were not regular shinobi.
No, they were S-ranked monsters, who could level a village on their own.
“And what is to be our mission?” spoke one of the pair.
“Are we going aft...

GALEN
One would think that Galen was responsible for his current condition. That he had failed in seeing through the machinations of the court and its grey rats once more. Yet they would be wrong.
The plague had stretched him too thin, but he was not truly blind to the noose that was being tightened around his neck. The propaganda. The whispers. The slurs. All of them reached his ears.
He knew of them and knew of the mouths ...

He had spent the past two days trying to make her see some sense, and yet she was ad...

Garlan was tired as he knocked on the doors of another house. He had barely slept in the last few days, as he toiled to help his saviour and friend.

Many feared death, but Garlan had long come to accept the shortness of life and considered his life a gift from Galen, who had saved hi...

The plan for taking down Lucius and his group was easier made than executed. The Map and the Aurors were one part of it. As a few weeks passed, he was able to narrow down the location of their usual meetups, and they met nearly every week or every other week in an abandoned building at the edge of Hogsmeade.
Thankfully, Voldemort had not thought it worth it to ward the building against any intruders, so Alder had simpl...

It was rare for Narcissa to be surprised, yet her first trip into the Muggle World had truly left her with nothing but surprise. Ever since she had been young, Narcissa had been taught that the Muggles were nothing but savages, and their existence was meaningless in comparison to witches and wizards who ran the world.
And while not believing it entirely. Narcissa had thought them different. She had thought them prim...

Initially, he had basked in that attention, that affection, for he had been blind to the poison that it came with. The ...
