0609 Money

The pristine unblemished snow blanketed the Forbidden Forest in a thick layer of white, transforming the typically dark and menacing woods into an enchanting, fairytale-like wonderland. The snow helped to simultaneously beautify the forest and conceal its typically bleak and barren appearance during the harsh winter months. 

As Cliodna, disguised as Alastor Moody, trekked back towards Hogwarts castle, her mind remained preoccupied with the solution proposed by Elder Horn to resolve...

0608 Winter

"Is it possible, Professor Binns—" Bryan twitched the corners of his mouth, and his lips curled into a wry smile as he spoke. "I am the Bryan Watson who arrested the dark witch Cliodna at the 422nd Quidditch World Cup final in August 1994."

Professor Binns' heavily wrinkled ghostly face trembled, the translucent skin quivered like ripples on a still pond. He continued to stare at Bryan, his pale, eyes wide with both surprise and confusion, as if trying to connect the young man standin...

0607 Rise and Fall

Gellert Grindelwald - a name that evokes both awe and terror, the first wizard to be widely known as a Dark Lord in modern magical history. At the pinnacle of his power, his influence nearly engulfed all of Europe except for Britain, with tens of thousands of wizards willingly pledging their allegiance to him and his cause.

However, Grindelwald was not content with merely terrorizing the Wizarding world; he also coveted domination over the Muggle World. To achieve his goal of total domi...

0606 Talks

Noticing that Hermione still appeared slightly disoriented, Bryan patiently clarified, "At the beginning of this school year, the school distributed an official notification to all students in their fourth year of study and above, instructing them to bring a set of formal attire, which is specifically intended for this ball—"

Hermione abruptly recalled that when she and Harry went to Hogsmeade to meet with Sirius before, Harry had accidentally collided with the Beauxbatons champion. F...

0605 Clues

Since his exploration of the underground chamber hidden deep beneath Azkaban Island, under the guidance of Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw, Bryan had expected that he would one day join the ranks of those wizards seeking after the Deathly Hallows. The cryptic clues left behind by the four founders spanning an entire millennium were undoubtedly of great importance - they would not have done anything meaningless.

The Resurrection Stone, the Elder Wand, and the Cloak of Invisibility...

0604 Leaving

Bryan left Harry, Ron and Hermione, and the three house-elves Dobby, Freedom, and Reega behind as he strolled towards the turquoise stone wall before them. A full millennium had passed since the wall's creation, yet it still exhaled icy cold winds, keeping the temperature in this terrifying and gloomy corridor at an extremely low level that chilled one to the bone.

There was no need for Bryan to ponder who had left the powerful, ancient magic upon the wall. Although it was claimed that ...

0603 Inside The Door

The dozen or so mysterious silver phantoms conjured by Lady Hufflepuff successively rushed into the stone archway, stepping onto the faintly glowing "path" hidden behind the door. Once they crossed the threshold, they rapidly disappeared like meteors streaking across the night sky.

Lady Ravenclaw sustained the hazy blue starry sky that permeated their chamber. The space where this enchanted starry sky connected with the stone door appeared distorted and warped, seemingly indicating that...

0602 The Road

'Lady Hufflepuff was about to enter through this turbulent door?'

Not only did Harry and the others find this to be an extremely reckless move, even Bryan thought it was a bit too risky. However, as a close friend, Lady Ravenclaw did not stop her. Instead, she gave a slight nod and said in a clear, cold voice, "Pay close attention to the passage of time, Helga. I cannot restrain this power for too long. You must finish before it begins to affect Hogwarts—"

As soon as th...

0601 The Door

If the Dementors could still be considered something familiar to Harry and his friends after their traumatic encounters, then the ancient and weathered stone archway that now appeared before them left Harry feeling completely baffled.

He and Ron, their faces pale and eyes wide with a mixture of fear and wonder, both leaned in close to Hermione and asked in an urgent whisper, "Do you have any idea what this could be, Hermione? Was it ever mentioned in any of the books you've read?"

0600 Actions

"Do you truly believe this to be a wise course of action, Rowena?" Lady Hufflepuff asked her usually warm and friendly demeanor replaced by a serious expression as she looked intently at her dear friend. "Your plan is to utilize your own precious life force as a binding shackle to control this evil creature. Have you fully considered the dire consequences of such an act, Rowena?

The insidious, corrupting magic that dwells within this evil being will undoubtedly affect you in turn. While...

0599 Their Talks

To Harry, Ron, Hermione and the others who had unexpectedly been transported a full millennium back into Hogwarts' past, the earlier conversation between the legendary founders Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw had already been mind-bogglingly shocking in its startling intimacy and raw vulnerability.

If the academics and historians of their own time were to somehow learn of the tragic secret romance that had apparently once smoldered between two of the school's founders, who could p...

0598 Love

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared in utter astonishment as they watched the slightly plump, middle-aged witch with soft, kind facial features walk back to her wooden desk. Beside the desk, a beautiful witch with icy blue eyes full of wisdom conjured an elegant wooden stool with a wave of her wand and sat upon it gracefully. The trio wore expressions of complete shock and disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost materialize before their very eyes!

"Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff--" Hermione stamme...

0597 Recognise

'Remember to stay calm.'

Could it be that Professor Watson knows whose room this is? But why did he specifically urge them to stay calm? Even if this was Professor Dumbledore's new office, there was no need to solemnly urge them like this. Of course, for Harry, if this office belonged to Snape, that would indeed be shocking enough!

Finally, the brass doorknob finished turning, accompanied by a creaking sound. The tightly closed door slowly opened, and a short figure stepp...

0596 The Room

Bryan narrowed his eyes and his gaze meticulously swept over every inch of this mysterious office as if trying to uncover its deepest secrets. His voice was low as he asked the three young wizards, "Have you already explored this room thoroughly?"

As he asked, he made no immediate move to investigate further, instead waited patiently for their response.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione immediately launched into a comprehensive recounting of their tormenting experience since regaining cons...

0595 Fears

"Recently, in response to the shocking and widespread rumors circulating through the Wizarding world about the appalling incident where the Inquisition's enforcement squad of the Holy See Tribunal in the remote city of Caerlerd had publicly and brutally executed three innocent young children who possessed magical talents by cruelly burning them to death at the stake, the Royal Wizard Association's Council quickly dispatched an elite investigative team comprised of their most skilled and e...
