In the aftermath of the intense duel between the Sirius and Snape, those with foresight could have effortlessly predicted the rippling waves of change that would soon engulf the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

These transformative undercurrents manifested themselves most prominently among the young wizards  from the rival houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin. The deep-seated rivalry and longstanding animosity that had long simmered between these two factions now ...

0345 The Class

In the early hours before dawn, when the sky was still cloaked in the inky darkness of night, the distant horizon where the earth met the sky was tinged with only a faint, ethereal greenish glow. The gentle breeze that drifted lazily across the glassy surface of the Black Lake and undulated through the verdant grass was not fierce or biting, but it carried with it a subtle chill that sent a shiver gushing down Harry's neck, raising goosebumps all over his arms.

Harry stamped his slightl...

0344 The Attention

It was 9 o'clock in the evening, a time when the studious young students of Gryffindor Tower would typically be getting ready for bed. However, on this particular night, the warmly lit Gryffindor common room remained abuzz with activity, as hordes of eager witches and wizards engaged in lively discussion. The subject of this heated discussion was none other than the highly anticipated upcoming physical education class to be taught by the Professor Watson. Even the Gryffindor prefects forgot t...

Iam sick

Hey everyone,

Just a quick heads up – I'm under the weather with a cough and headache, so I'll need to skip tomorrow's chapter update. I'll get the next chapter to you the day after tomorrow. Thanks for sticking with me!

Take care.

0343 Strange Course

That afternoon, not a single young wizard could focus on their lessons. Everyone was engrossed in discussions about the first real duel between professors in the history of Hogwarts.

Amidst the heated debates, the details of this duel gradually became clearer to all.

No one was overly surprised that Professor Watson had subdued Professors Snape and Black with just one spell. After all, ever since Professor Watson arrived at Hogwarts, the young wizards had witnessed or heard about ...

0342 Stop!

The tense atmosphere was thick with apprehension as Sirius stood his ground, unflinchingly facing the menacing slithering of dozens of venomous snakes that converged upon him from all directions in the narrow corridor. His expression was one of utter disgust, his steely gaze unwavering as he retorted,

"You think this can scare me?-- Your magic is as disgusting as you are, Snivellus!"

"I hope you can still be this tough later, you mutt!"

Snape's obsidian eyes burned with an u...

0341 Confrontation

In the Great Hall, an eerie silence descended like a heavy curtain after the shrill, desperate tones of Filch's voice echoed through the chamber. The abrupt stillness was palpable, as if a powerful silencing charm had been cast over the hundreds of young witches and wizards seated at the long tables, their gazes transfixed upon the squib caretaker in a collective state of skeptical astonishment. even the professors at the staff table were gawking at him in disbelief.

"I—I thought you ...

0340 The Incident

The classroom was abuzz with anticipation as Professor Black strode purposefully towards an intriguing covered object, resembling a birdcage, stationed on a shelf adjacent to the front of the room. Many inquisitive students had noticed peculiar movements emanating from beneath the concealing cloth, striking against the cage, as soon as they entered the classroom, yet curiously, not a single audible sound could be heard.

Sirius nimbly lifted the shrouding fabric, unveiling the cage's con...

0339 His First Class

With the sofa now fully occupied, Bryan had to return to his seat behind the oak desk that served as the centerpiece of his office.

"About this owl--" Sirius wasted no time in stating the purpose behind his late-night visit, his words punctuated by the soft hooting emanating from the feathered occupant of the cage. "Since you three are here, that makes things simple. It's for you, Ron--"

"For me?" Ron's eyes widened in a comical display of disbelief as his gaze ping-ponged between...

0338 Change of Plans

"Good evening, Professor Watson—"

Bryan drifted through the hushed corridors wandering past one curved window after another, his mind consumed by these weighty ponderings. Suddenly, a youthful yet strangely ethereal and carefree voice greeted him.

"Good evening, Miss Lovegood—"

Bryan responded reflexively, his tone distant and absentminded as he remained immersed in the currents of his contemplation, continuing his unhurried stride forward.

However, after a few mor...

0337 New Professor, New Course?

"Damn, I forgot about that!"

Harry slapped his forehead and said,

"Sirius was wrongfully imprisoned by the Ministry for so many years. He must not be aware of the situation. What do you think, should I go and warn him?"

"Don't worry, mate!"

Ron frowned and said,

"We all know that being the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor isn't a walk in the park, but there have been exceptions, haven't there?"

"You mean like Professor Watson?" Harry's eyes lit up. 2024-05-01 14:00:47 +0000 UTC View Post

0336 The Funeral

Kreacher's wailing, which had previously been a mournful accompaniment to the solemn proceedings, suddenly escalated to a shrill and piercing climax, and it was at this moment that Harry and Hermione finally took notice of a peculiar lump! concealed beneath the table.

"Dobby, how could you...oh, you're not!" Harry exclaimed inadvertently, his mind momentarily confusing the identity of the strange house-elf before him with that of the familiar house-elf, Dobby. However, he swiftly realiz...

0335 A Farewell in the Forbidden Forest

The crimson sun was dipping below the horizon, casting a fiery glow over the ancient grounds of Hogwarts. In this ethereal light, two solitary figures could be seen striding purposefully towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest, their robes flowing behind them.

Their hurried pace and furrowed brows showed a sense of urgency, drawing bewildered looks from the young wizards who crosed their path.

Why were Professors Snape and McGonagall striding so hurriedly towards the Forbidden Fo...

0334 Aftermath

The gusty winds of winter had finally relented, ushering in the long-awaited arrival of March. The recent weekend's Quidditch match could be considered a triumphant redemption for Oliver Wood and the entirety of the resilient Gryffindor Quidditch team members.

As the term started, the Gryffindor squad had emerged victorious against the Ravenclaw team. However, in a surprising turn of events, Ravenclaw had subsequently defeated Hufflepuff, providing the Gryffindors, who had previously su...

0333 End of Trial

Barty Crouch's resounding words left many people at a loss, including Cornelius Fudge.

During the prior negotiations, a consensus had been reached that Barty Crouch would be excluded from the ranks of the Wizengamot judiciary, though this banishment would only take effect subsequent to the highly anticipated trial of Peter Pettigrew, once the dust had settled in the aftermath of that legal proceeding. It was then that the Ministry would orchestrate a meticulous campaign to sway the coll...

0332 Fierce Confrontation

If one were to ask what the Ministry of Magic was most concerned about in this series of events, it certainly was not the innocence of the infamous Sirius Black, nor was it the shocking revelation that Peter Pettigrew, who had been posthumously bestowed with the prestigious Order of Merlin, First Class, for his alleged heroic demise, was the actual culprit. Above all else, the Ministry’s primary concern was how Sirius Black managed to escape from Azkaban.

The Azkaban prison, guarded b...

0331 Execution?

Veritaserum, the powerful truth serum potion, is a highly regulated magical concoction, strictly controlled and monitored by the Ministry of Magic's governing body. Its usage is not permitted, even during routine interrogations of ordinary criminal suspects. This potent brew is reserved solely for the interrogation of those wicked dark wizards whose very existence poses a grave and significant threat to the entire wizarding world. Only after meticulous review and explicit approval from the Am...

0330 The Trial

In the grand, cavernous hall of the Wizengamot courtroom, an air of solemn dignity permeated the atmosphere. Seated prominently in the front row of elaborately carved chairs, the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic:

Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Bartemius Crouch, the Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Dolores Umbridge, the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister. Behind the...

0329 Wizengamot

After nearly half a month, Bryan once again crossed the grand threshold into the cavernous entrance hall of the Ministry of Magic building in central London.

The immense and imposing marble entrance hall, adorned with majestic columns and grandiose architectural flourishes, was uncharacteristically bustling and swarming with people, shattering its usually solemn and hushed atmosphere. Dozens upon dozens of reporters and photographers from prestigious magical newspapers and publications ...

0328 Success

Like a hellish flower blossoming in the mortal world, flickering flames danced around it, spattering fiery sparks in every direction. The soul-like petals appeared ethereal and illusory, yet they possessed an immense and corrosive power that defied their flimsy appearance. Upon making contact with the nearby desk and floor, the surfaces underwent a rapid and unnatural transformation, as if experiencing countless seasons compressed into an instant. Their deep, rich colors gradually faded to sh...

0327 Vicious Magic

"Sirius will soon be free from his unjust imprisonment," Bryan said with a radiant smile. "You've been staying in this house all day, so you probably don't know what's happening outside. The Ministry of Magic has announced the truth about what happened that year in the Daily Prophet. In a mere matter of days, the long-awaited trial of the genuine traitor responsible for the betrayal of the Potter family, Peter Pettigrew, will commence officially. I will also bear witness to these proceedings,...

0326 A Stupid Mistake

Bryan stared at the magical creature trading place, where the screeches of Augurey birds, the blasting sounds of wizards attacking each other nearby, and the continuous curses from farther away filled the air. His purple eyes gleamed with surprise.

But for Bryan, amidst this seeming chaos, a flash of sheer brilliance struck his mind like a bolt of lightning, illuminating a path forward. For nearly ten months since obtaining the manuscript detailing the Blood Curse, he had tirelessly con...

0325 The Three things

"I'm willing to help you in a task, Viper. Whatever it is, as long as you're willing to give me this skeleton."

A glimmer flashed in Viper's eyes. He sarcastically remarked with disdain,

"You should be aware of the gap in strength between us, Thanatos; you can't offer me any help."

Hearing this, Thanatos's tall frame deflated like a punctured ball. He was well aware of the disparity in strength between them, having witnessed Viper in action. Anything he could do, Viper could...

0324 The Trade

The underground world, which had hardly changed for hundreds of years, obviously wouldn't undergo any unexpected changes in the few weeks he had been away. Everything remained the same, chaotic yet orderly.

On the far side of the Commission wall, two wizards were engaged in a lively skirmish, the powerful gusts of their clashing spells extinguishing scores of the suspended torches that hovered in midair, their flickering flames snuffed out in an instant. Those few souls brave or foolis...

0323 Revenge?

Rita Skeeter was furious, slamming the door shut as she left.

Bryan just shook his head lightly and proceeded to his desk, where he resumed composing the reply he had been forced to interrupt.

Rita Skeeter, standing in front of the door, had a pale face and was panting.

“Damn Watson. No one has ever dared to do this—intercept my reports, destroy my things!”

Rita’s eyes, filled with malice, fixed on the door as she plotted her next move.

"There must be som...

0322 Rita Skeeter

'Rita Skeeter?'

Even before the rhythmic rapping on the thick wooden door reverberated through the room, Bryan was acutely aware of the identity of his unannounced visitor.

To be honest, Bryan rather appreciated certain qualities exhibited by this female reporter. Putting aside what happened on the day of the press conference, the fact that Rita Skeeter could unearth the obscure details surrounding the dark wizard attack incident that occurred during his student years at ...

0321 Favors

After pondering for a moment, Kakus made a decision.

For a wizard like Bryan Watson, who held significant sway in both the Underground world and the world above, the chance to owe him a favor was not easy to come by. If he could seize this opportunity to solidify their friendship, it might potentially save the entire Fawley family in the future.

Kakus was a man of action. Recognizing that, according to the established rules, Rita's provocative article was scheduled for publication...

0320 The Night Visit

Facing the magical traps capable of leveling a building as grand as Gringotts in an instant, Bryan remained nonchalant. A milky-white, indestructible magical shield appeared instantly, enveloping his body.

The unceasing barrage of spells slowly eroded the ground beneath Bryan's feet, inch by inch, yet he remained floating, protected by the bright magical barrier, as steadfast as a rock amidst a tempest.

As the lights within the stone cottage began to flare to brilliant life one by...

0319 Small Troubles

Bryan's hand met the awestruck Mr. Cuffe's on the wooden table, shaking a few times before he said in a steady voice,

"Yes, I had to come, Mr. Cuffe. Madam Bones informed me that the Daily Prophet will publish an article accusing me tomorrow morning, is that right?"

"Oh, it's just that madwoman Rita Skeeter's nonsense ramblings!"  Mr. Cuffe said excitedly, “Just ramblings, no one will believe it's something you've done. Oh, but indeed, it’s a bit troublesome. Rita is quit...

0318 The Revolution

All along, Dumbledore had hoped that Hogwarts could accommodate more Muggle-born wizards and witches. He wished that these young sorcerers, after entering the wizarding world, could subtly influence the stagnant Wizarding community and bring about a revolution through peaceful means—that was his idea.

However, as Amelia said, the air of the wizarding world concealed something extremely stubborn and corrosive, and most Muggle-born children who aspired to survive in the Wizarding realm ...
