0289 The Patron Saint

"Hermione--"

Harry muttered weakly, attempting to stand up several times. However, his body and mind couldn't support him to complete the action, so he had no choice but to crawl towards Hermione on all fours.

Hermione's forehead had turned purple, and blood was flowing from the wound where it had come into contact with the stone. Harry tried to wipe the blood off her face with his sleeve, but his sleeve was already soaked, only smearing Hermione's face with fresh blood.

In ...

0288 Return?

The air was thick with tension, the atmosphere charged with a palpable sense of dread and regret. Sirius's eyes, usually a piercing grey, were now clouded with a storm of emotions, twitching uncontrollably as the weight of his past decisions bore down on him. The choice to make Peter Pettigrew the secret-keeper for the Potters had been a catastrophic error, one that haunted him every night. And now, Severus Snape, with his sadistic wit and venomous words, was twisting the knife deeper into Si...

0287 Intense Fighting

Harry stood there in a daze, forgetting to move.

"But--" Hermione managed to maintain some basic sanity. She looked at the moon in the sky, her voice trembling with fear, "It's not a full moon today, if if I remember correctly!"

"The virus in Greyback's teeth disrupted the balance of magic in his body!"

Snape's voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth. His greasy hair was soaked with sweat, sticking to his cheeks. His wand swung so fast that it left afterimages. Ever...

0286 Killing Night

“Hagrid, I don’t want to leave!” Harry’s voice was resolute, his grip on his wand firm as he faced the looming threat. His eyes, filled with the fire of determination, met Lupin’s.

“If my dad were here, he wouldn’t want me to be a coward.”

Snape sneered, but Sirius glared at him angrily.

“You don’t understand, Harry!” Lupin’s voice was tinged with anger and desperation. “This is not like the petty conflicts you have with Malfoy at school. This is re...

0285 A fair exchange

A short distance away, the trio were spared the brunt of the chaos. As the blinding light began to wane, they witnessed the convergence of the two Marauder's Maps into a singular entity, a fusion of magical cartography that left only one map in its wake.

High above, Bryan observed the scene with a mixture of astonishment and curiosity. How many maps had merged into one? Two, or perhaps three? He pondered the implications of such a phenomenon—would a wizard encountering their temporal ...

0284 Truth and Lies

In the three years Harry had been at school, he had mostly seen Snape with two expressions: a pale yellow color on ordinary days and a pale blue color when facing him. But tonight, after Sirius spoke, Harry witnessed a rare abnormal flush on Snape's face, a sign that his sanity was on the verge of collapse.

Harry felt a desperate need to prevent Snape from killing Black, not before the truth had a chance to surface.

Lupin believed in Black, and Dumbledore and Professor Watson had ...

0283 Unacceptable

The tension in the air was palpable as the scene unfolded in the dimly lit clearing. Hagrid, bound by the constricting ropes, had fallen with a thunderous crash mere steps from Sirius, sending tremors through the earth beneath them. The dust and debris from the impact hung in the air, creating a haze that blurred the lines between friend and foe.

Harry, with reflexes honed in Quidditch, spun on his heel, his wand slicing through the air to point unerringly towards the source of the atta...

0282 Hatred

The three young wizards ignited the tips of their wands, casting beams of light that sliced through the darkness, aiding Hagrid in his search. So far, they hadn't heard any human voices, which might be a good thing. Malfoy was definitely no match for Black, but Harry thought that he should still be able to let out a few screams before dying.

Hagrid’s expression was etched with seriousness as he navigated the motorcycle. The urgency that radiated from him was palpable; his initial task...

0281 Old Friends

“Don’t mention that name!” Hagrid angrily growled, interrupting Ron’s sentence. “Otherwise, I’ll drop you off and make you run behind the motorcycle. This bike is getting old, and it’s a bit difficult to carry four people!”

Hagrid threatened, hoping to scare Ron into silence. He didn’t want to hear any more talk of Voldemort, or of Black.

Hagrid always believed that the dog that could grow bigger being black was just Harry’s imagination, which frustrated Harry....

0280 The Half-Giant's Hauler

Hagrid’s expression was already unpleasant, and if he were to tell Hagrid that they were there because of a rat that had escaped, he might just unleash his wild side. So, even though Harry was angry, he didn’t say anything.

“Go back to the castle, right now. We’ll talk about the secret passage and Hogsmeade tomorrow!”

Hagrid said angrily, pointing to the direction of the Hogwarts grounds. He didn’t wait for their reply, and turned to the other side.

"I have to br...

0279 Unknown Situation

Ron’s worried calls echoed on the breezy courtyard, but Scabbers ignored the shouts of its former owner. It continued running along the path towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest, as if it had a death wish. If it weren’t for Harry’s excellent tracking skills as a Seeker, they would have likely lost Scabbers completely.

The three of them, along with a rat, ran through the passage for about half of the campus. Suddenly, Scabbers changed direction and disappeared into the grass. H...

0278 I see dead people

The previous defeat in the last game had left a bitter taste in Gryffindor’s mouth, so when they finally defeated Ravenclaw this time, the young wizards in the same house erupted in jubilation as if they had won the Quidditch Cup. even though they still had to face Slytherin in the final match. Harry barely had time to think about the unusual human-like actions of the little black dog that had been watching him from the stands as he was immediately surrounded by his classmates who carried h...

0277 The Match

Bathed in the bright sunshine, the Quidditch pitch was not as joyful as usual, but rather tinged with a sense of seriousness. The reason behind this was none other than the fact that this match would determine the winner of this year’s Quidditch Cup.

Hufflepuff had already lost to Ravenclaw, so their chances of winning the championship were slim. The presence of their students at the pitch was merely for the sake of joining in the excitement. They wore their yellow and black scarves a...

0276 Preparations and Leaving

The matter of the little black dog was just a small incident for Harry and his friends. They had no idea that the dog was actually Sirius Black. Tomorrow was the first day of school, and most of their classmates had returned to Hogwarts. The castle was buzzing with excitement and anticipation, as the students prepared for the new term. Harry was especially eager to start the Quidditch season, and finally use his own Firebolt. Even if Black stormed into the castle at this time, it couldn't spo...

0275 Performance

No one paid attention to Hermione’s complaint. They were all immersed in Harry’s magnificent flying skills. They cheered, clapped, and whistled, as Harry performed one amazing stunt after another.

“Harry, I released the Snitch!”

When the time was right, Wood shouted into the sky.

Upon hearing the call, Harry dived down again. This time, he passed through the middle of Fred and George who were flying side by side, playing as Beaters. The golden Snitch that was flutter...

0274 The Firebolt

Not long after, The office door was knocked loudly, startling Bryan from his work. He got up from his desk and opened the door, only to see Hagrid squeezing in through the narrow gap. The half-giant was wearing his shabby mole-skin coat and carrying a small red umbrella that looked like a toy in his huge hand.

"Oh, Professor, are you really not considering getting a bigger door?" Hagrid grumbled, ducking his head to avoid hitting the ceiling.

"Nobody else has a problem with my doo...

0273 Their Plans

Midnight, moonlight.

The cold night wind howled in the courtyard, and the excited owls took off one by one, gliding through the air and leaving ghostly shadows on the ground. The moon cast a pale silver light over the Hogwarts castle, making it look like a haunted mansion for the muggles.

As soon as he returned to the Owlery, Scabbers immediately took out the Marauders map from the hole and leaned on the windowsill to examine it under the moonlight. He unfolded the parchment and t...

0272 The Forbidden Forest

After pondering for several minutes, Peter suddenly took action. He turned around and jumped off the window sill, and ran into the shelf below in a puff of smoke, and drilled into the hole in the rock wall.

Bryan sensed that Scabbers’ position was rapidly sinking, he probably did the same as last year’s basilisk, using the pipes that were buried in the walls when Hogwarts was founded. This was not surprising to him, it was very normal for a rat to hide in the sewer pipes.

Only...

0271 Actions

Along the way, the three Slytherin boys were very alert. They chose secluded routes and tried their best to avoid the occasional young wizards passing by. They finally arrived at the Owlery, and hurriedly entered the dark and crowded room.

Bryan stood on the windy corridor, bathed in the cold moonlight, with a calm and serene expression.

'Unexpected, but reasonable.'

It was dinner time now, and also the peak time for returning to school. No young wizard would choose...

0270 Tracking

"I think Draco needs a little more time, Professor Snape–" Bryan calmly said, breaking the silence. "After all, he may have never dealt with such a situation before."

Snape instinctively wanted to retort, but before the words came out, he saw Draco's shoulder tremble slightly, as if he was trying to break free from something. His heart softened, and he couldn't help but stop.

"Well, I hope you can try to reconcile with your friends, Draco. I hope to see a change in you before Ea...

0269 Discovering Clues

It seems that Lucius did not associate himself with the Golden Viper. His purpose in approaching me was still to help find the Viper. But why didn't Lucius go to find Kakus Fawley?

Even though the Fawley family had been defeated in the Ministry of Magic, they were still one of the twenty-eight sacred pure-blood families, just like the Malfoy family. These ancient families, except for extreme examples like the Weasley family, mostly maintained intricate connections and alliances. Logical...

0268 Commission

But, to his surprise, Lucius’s words made Bryan realize that he might have guessed wrong.

“–Or you can also think of it, Mr. Watson, as me wanting to designate you to take on my commissioned task, and these gems are the reward for the task.”

Lucius Malfoy bowed slightly to Bryan Watson, showing a hint of respect and sincerity.

This sudden turn of events finally made Bryan react. He narrowed his eyes and said in a light voice, “You broke the rules, Malfoy.”

...

0267 Lucius's Visit

Before retracting his gaze, he casually glanced at the monitoring screen opposite, which showed the live feed of various locations in the castle. His gently furrowed brow suddenly showed a slight wrinkle, as he noticed something unusual.

Near the Slytherin common room, Professor Snape was standing at the door of his office, talking to a wizard with disheveled blond hair and a haughty expression. The wizard was wearing a long black cloak, and holding a silver cane with a snake head.

0266 Azkaban

According to Dumbledore, the transformation of the Patronus Charm came from the influence of the soul. When he used the charm, something in his soul that did not belong to him resonated with the Dementors, causing those changes to occur.

Stone pillar - temple - ruins - Dementors - Twin Serpent Staff - This seemingly unrelated series of things actually had a deep connection, and the core of all the secrets was the dark shadow within Morgan Le Fay's body.

There was something that Br...

0265 Clues

"Please come in–"

Bryan spoke softly as he glanced at the door and stood up, walking to the wardrobe. He felt the cold metal of the pendant in his hand and quickly slipped it into his pocket, hiding it from view.

With a sharp creaking sound from the rusty door hinge, the door opened and Sirius walked in slowly. His black hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot. When he saw Bryan, who was already awake and dressed, his scruffy face showed a hint of surprise.

"Oh, you're ...

0264 End & Follow-up

They saw the black tide of Inferi, which had already covered the sky, surrounding the small island. In the next second, the heavy waves would crash down, and at that time, there would be no way out for the people on the island.

In the moment of life and death, Bryan, with his gray hair dancing in the strong wind, finally moved again.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, his gaze fierce, and he took a deep breath, then–

Roar! A thunderous roar erupted, like the roar...

0263 The Cave (Part-4)

“Help, Bryan, we can’t handle this!”

In an instant, everything was silent!

In the invisible magical world, a tyrannical magical storm swept across all directions from where Bryan stood. Faintly, the whirlpool-like cyclone in his deep eyes slowly rotated, making a sound like a landslide or a thunder.

The splashing water, the surging lake surface, whether it was the inferis that had landed on the island, or those still in the shallow water, or the horned serpent that wei...

0262 The Cave (Part-3)

As Bryan had said, the ghostly boat did not return to the shore after they left, it just stayed there, waiting for them to return or die.

The island in the lake was not large, about the same size as Dumbledore’s office at school. The ground was a flat black slab, unlike anything natural. It looked like it had been carved out of the rock, or maybe it was a part of the magic that protected the place. It was smooth and shiny, reflecting the green light that came from the stone basin that...

0261 The Cave (Part-2)

This was a huge hollow space inside the mountain. The cave was so high that even Bryan’s wand, which shone brightly, could not illuminate the top. It was like a dome that covered the whole lake, and they wondered how it was formed and supported. There were no stalactites or stalagmites, no signs of life or vegetation, only rocks and shadows.

From afar, a faint and greenish light flickered in the center of the lake, reflecting on the still and silent water below. It was like a will-o�...

0260 The Cave (Part-1)

It was around eleven o'clock at night, and a bright moon hung in the southwest sky, casting a cold radiance that illuminated the barren landscape. There was not a single cloud in the night sky, and countless stars were embedded in the unfathomable darkness, their light faint and distant.

The temperature was very low, and the waves near the shore were mixed with numerous broken ice blocks that glittered like shards of glass. They crashed against the reefs with a deafening roar, making a ...
