0176 Weird

Everything in the room was covered by an illusion magic, only a candlestick that was about to tumble from the wall was still emitting a dim but stable candlelight. The flickering light cast eerie shadows on the dusty furniture and the cracked walls. Bryan lifted the fur behind Crookshank’s neck, fearing that his handsome face would be ruined by the big cat’s sharp claws.

“What are you doing here, Crookshanks, instead of staying with Hermione?” Bryan asked curiously, frowning. 2023-11-20 12:35:47 +0000 UTC View Post

0175 Dog

On the road of magic for more than ten years, Bryan had never encountered such a difficult obstacle. The research that had made no progress for more than a month even made him doubt his own magical talent!

He looked again at the stack of manuscripts that he had already memorized, and sighed deeply, with a hint of helplessness in his sigh. The yellowed papers were covered with ancient runes and symbols, some of which were faded or torn. They were the only clues he had to decipher the mys...

0174 Playwright

Harry and Ron were obviously overjoyed about what happened to Malfoy, but they had different expectations for the outcome. Ron had had enough of Malfoy's constant mockery of his family's poverty, so he hoped that this would bankrupt the Malfoy family once and for all, so that Malfoy would never be able to show off his family's wealth and status in front of him again.

Harry's idea was also very simple and straightforward. He just wanted Malfoy's parents to be uneasy and afraid of the con...

0173 The Shrieking Shack

Friday was a very important day for the residents of Hogsmeade, especially the first Friday of the new term.

Because tomorrow, it was the first weekend after the summer vacation, the senior students who had saved up their pocket money during the holidays would flock to the magical village as soon as the castle gate opened, eager to enjoy its delights. The villagers were ready to make them spend every last knut in their wallets, and they had prepared various goods and services to attract...

0172 Help

It took about ten minutes before Hermione, who was sweating profusely, finally came in from outside with her backpack and a bucket of water, staggering. As soon as she entered, she saw Harry and Ron sitting on the edge of Hagrid’s bed, looking at her with a strange expression. They had been waiting for her impatiently, wondering what had taken her so long. Hermione felt a wave of panic wash over her, hoping they had not noticed anything unusual.

“Oh, why are you looking at me like t...

0171 Trouble

"Please give me a reasonable explanation."

Professor Lupin said solemnly, his voice echoing in the small wooden hut.

Harry knew very well that he should answer Professor Lupin's question, but when he looked at Hagrid lying on the bed, his furry face covered with dried tears, and the pungent smell of alcohol filling the air, he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He felt a surge of sympathy for the half-giant who had always been kind and helpful to him and his friends.

Why d...

0170 Favor

Lupin gave a bitter smile and looked at the young wizard across the table with admiration. He knew that Bryan had seen through his intentions, but he still hoped to persuade him to accept his request.

“There is one more thing I need to ask you, Bryan.”

Lupin said earnestly, waiting for Bryan’s response.

“Let’s hear it, Remus.”

Bryan said, gesturing to the empty chair in front of him. He poured a cup of tea for Lupin and offered it to him.

Although he ...

0169 Lupin's Visit

“Before Black is caught, Harry, you should stay in the Gryffindor common room every night, and never sneak out of the castle at midnight to find Hagrid, or, break into the Forbidden Forest!”

Hermione glared at Harry sternly, her bushy brown hair framing her worried face. She was clutching a thick book titled Hogwarts: A History in her hands, as if it was a shield against any danger.

“You talk as if we didn’t take you with us when we went to see Hagrid.”

Ron retorte...

0168 Comparisons and Aftermath

Ever since the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts frequently had accidents, no wizard could hold the position for more than a year and retire safely, which became a consensus among the young wizards. At the beginning of each new school year, identifying how good the latest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is has almost become a reserved program at the start of the school year. It was a topic that sparked heated debates and lively discussions among the students, who eag...

0167 Dumbledore's Reflection

"he could be anywhere–"

Dumbledore looked grave and solemn. He repeated the words of the Sorting Hat with reverence, and the portraits on the wall, who had been eagerly waiting for him to announce the name of the mysterious 'Hogwarts Heir', felt a surge of curiosity and excitement. It was a title that sounded both ridiculous and intriguing, but they all tried hard not to speak, afraid of disturbing Dumbledore's thoughts.

"I must thank you,"

After a long time, Dumbledore's ...

0166 Heir

As the first headmaster from Slytherin in many years, and the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts history, Phineas Black's question was not only curious to himself, but every former headmaster on the portrait showed a strong curiosity. They all stared at the current headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk, waiting for his answer.

Dumbledore was not surprised by this question, and he also knew very well what Headmaster Black would say to him next. He h...

0165 Night DIscussion

At night, the bright moonlight and the waves that constantly hit the cliff have accompanied Hogwarts Castle for thousands of years like a day. The first week of school is about to pass, and the energetic young wizards have passed the initial excitement period. Tonight, except for the clanging armor in the castle, the occasional portraits who stayed up late and whispered, and the Peeves who patrolled the territory as usual, it was quiet and peaceful. 

"You know who that person is, ...

0164 Aftermath

The effect was remarkable!

Dumbledore's magic overpowered the raging fire, and the wall of fire which was as high as a city wall, was directly cut in half by his powerful spell. The flames roared and crackled, as if protesting against the intrusion, but they could not resist the force of the elder wand. The firewall that seemed to have been watered with growth hormone regained its height, giving no one a chance to take advantage of the gap.

Such a result, not to mention others, ev...

0163 Confrontation (Part-2)

The silence that hung over the square was shattered by a cold voice that came from the mouth of Severus Snape, who stared at the cloaked figure on the opposite side of the square with hatred. The figure was shrouded in darkness, hiding his face and body from view, and his gloomy presence seemed to cast a shadow over the night.

"He's not Black–" Snape said, his voice barely above a whisper, but loud enough for everyone to hear. He looked at the cloaked figure on the opposite side of th...

0162 Confrontation (Part 1)

He had created such a massive chaos, and within a few minutes, a large number of employees from the Ministry of Magic would swarm here to erase the memories of those muggles who were shocked by their worldview, as well as fix the damage caused by Bryan, so he didn't have much time to spare. After scanning the houses on both sides, he made sure that there were no muggles inside, and a thin layer of light like cicada wings wrapped around Bryan's body.

Crack!

Just like dealing with t...

0161 Black's Attack

As if looking down at the earth from a bird's eye view, a dark figure suddenly appeared in an empty alley near Grimmauld Square. They emerged from a hidden spot and sprinted away from the nearest Auror patrolling nearby. The others quickly mounted their flying brooms and soared towards the source of the loud explosion with full speed. The night sky was lit up by flashes of different colors, and the sound of curses and spells echoed in the air.

Tonks and Kingsley were among the first one...

0160 Grimmauld Place

Bryan had a hard time finding Grimmauld Place, because Tonks had given him a clue: "a rundown neighborhood in northwest London" but that was too vague for Bryan to pinpoint the exact location. He knew he couldn't just wander around every Muggle street and ask people if they had heard of Grimmauld Place. That would be too suspicious and risky.

But this was not a new challenge for Bryan, who had been working in the outside world for several years and had gained a lot of experience. He kne...

0159 Clues

With a loud bang, a cloud of dust rose up in the air, and Bryan found himself back in the bedroom on the second floor of the Potter’s old house, where the tragedy had happened.

The sun was setting behind the rooftops of the neighboring houses, casting long shadows and dimming the light in the broken bedroom. The only source of illumination was the bright beam that came out of the tip of Bryan’s wand, piercing through the darkness that surrounded him. His sharp eyes scanned the room ...

0158 Relations

In the mind of the flower shop owner Tramon, among the frozen memories, Bryan stared wide-eyed at the wizard who was a bit blurry in appearance and figure, his face showing astonishment.

He had a distinctive look that was hard to forget: greasy black hair that even shampoo couldn’t wash clean, a hooked nose and a sallow complexion, a thin body and a long cloak, and a pair of cold black eyes that seemed to pierce through everything. But this was too strange, wasn’t it? How did Profes...

0157 Tears?

'Are you crying because of Voldemort's failure?'

Bryan thought sarcastically as he looked at the dried tear marks on the broken glass. He found it hard to believe that Sirius Black, the notorious traitor who had betrayed his best friends to Voldemort, would shed tears for his fallen master. He had heard enough stories about Black and his fellow Death Eaters to know what kind of ruthless and cruel people they were. They had followed Voldemort out of fear, greed, or twisted ideology, not ...

0156 Cradle of the Chosen

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for being rude,"

Bryan said apologetically as he stood at the threshold of the ruined house.

"After all, this is also for your child Harry Potter–"

He lowered his head respectfully as he spoke to the place where Lily and James Potter had once lived. Although he had been unaware of the existence of the wizarding world when they were killed by Voldemort twelve years ago, he still felt a deep admiration for these brave wizards who had sacrificed ...

0155 Potter's Old House

Bryan had known very early on where the old house of the Potter family was located, which was not surprising, considering that this was almost a well-known fact in the wizarding world.

He remembered that when he got admission letter for Hogwarts, eager to learn more about this mysterious world hidden from the Muggles, he had bought a book that had just updated its content, "Important Magical Events of the 20th Century". The book narrated the 'detailed' process of how the 'Boy Who Lived'...

0154 Idea

He had an idea. A persistent idea that had been haunting him for a while.

He wanted to find a house for himself, a place where he could settle down and end his years of wandering. Ever since the new dormitory of the orphanage was built, he felt that he had somewhat fulfilled his duty to the children who had no one else to rely on. With the orphanage having some social support and the children having some survival skills, he felt that it was time for him to pursue his own happiness.

0153 Conversation

It took about ten minutes for the residents of Hogsmeade, the only all-wizarding village in Britain, to transport all the barrels of wine from the carriage to the underground cellar of the Three Broomsticks, the most popular pub in town. After receiving their wages, they did not leave, but asked Mrs. Rosmerta, the buxom and cheerful landlady, for some drinks and chatted in the bar. The atmosphere was lively and cozy, with laughter and gossip filling the air.

In such an environment, it w...

0152 Secrets

Bryan knew what Tonks meant by 'not peaceful'. He was well aware of the gossip culture that pervaded the British Ministry of Magic. Most of the employees there had graduated from Hogwarts, and they still retained the old habit of their school days. As long as they learned a juicy secret, they couldn't wait to share it with everyone they knew. Therefore, the shocking news that Sirius Black, the notorious mass murderer and Death Eater, had escaped from Azkaban to kill Harry Potter, the Boy Who ...

0151 Old Classmates

Bryan did not raise his hands above his head, or even make a vigilant posture, but twitched his mouth, turned his back to the person behind him, and politely asked,

"Excuse me, noble lady, what law did I break?"

His voice was calm and composed, as if he was not bothered by the sudden intrusion.

"Oh, don't you know?"

The voice still maintained a serious tone, but it sounded like it was suppressing a smile,

"Don't you know, sir, that the Auror office has obtained t...

0150 Hogsmeade

Whoosh!

A clear yellow figure flashed past Bryan’s eyes like lightning, and pounced directly on Ron’s pocket. It was a large, ginger-colored cat with a squashed face and a bottle-brush tail, which Hermione had received as a birthday present from her parents. The cat’s name was Crookshanks, and it had a fierce hatred for Ron’s pet rat, Scabbers.

“Ow, damn it!”

Ron jumped up from his seat subconsciously, holding Hermione’s snarling cat with both hands, trying to ...

0149 Family Dinner

On a night when the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, a lively family dinner was taking place in the Leaky Cauldron pub. The pub was a cozy and warm place, with wooden tables and chairs, a fireplace, and various magical objects hanging on the walls. Apart from Charlie and Bill, who were working abroad, the entire Weasley family was present. They occupied a large table near the window, where they could see the bustling Diagon Alley outside.

In addition to the Weasleys, Harry, He...

0148 The Poisonous Magic

Sirius Black’s escape from prison caused a headache for the Ministry of Magic and fear for many wizarding families, but no matter what, the date of Hogwarts’ opening, which almost counted as an annual ‘event’ in the wizarding world, remained unchanged.

As the summer vacation came to an end, Diagon Alley gradually regained its usual bustle, though Bryan, who had rarely left his room since mid-August, could only judge from the noise outside the open window. He could hear the excit...
