HRHL# Chapter 60: This Is None of Your Damn Business

Toothy wizard with a sinister grin, Dawima stood in a daze, feeling as though he had fallen into an endless sea of bliss.

If Harry were to choose a spell he was most proficient at besides the Disarming Charm, it would undoubtedly be the Imperius Curse.

In an era when dark wizards were as common as stray dogs and poachers roamed freely, not being adept at resisting the Imperius Curse was practically an open invitation for dark wizards to exploit you.

Cassandra had spent count...

BFH# Chapter 42: A Private Discussion with Harry

As Dumbledore and Viktor exchanged polite nods in the fourth-floor corridor, their departure caught the curious glances of several students. Yet most Hogwarts students had no desire to venture where the headmaster had explicitly warned of danger—why tempt fate unnecessarily?

Hogwarts soon returned to its usual calm.

While Viktor headed toward the North Tower, Dumbledore ascended several staircases, arriving at his office on the eighth floor.

There, Professor Minerva McGona...

HRHL# Chapter 59: Out-of-Body Experience

Harry had already given much thought to the gifts he would prepare for his professors.

It wasn’t just about the professors; even his classmates—and surprisingly, his cousin Dudley—deserved something this year.

But Professor Snape presented a unique challenge. Harry knew Snape was a Potions Master, and giving him a potion would be pointless; Snape could undoubtedly brew far superior ones himself.

What could he do?

Lying on his bed, Harry wrestled with the question...

BFH# Chapter 41: Even Voldemort Would Take Half a Day to Get Through!

Dumbledore fell silent, deep in thought.

He took a step back, carefully avoiding the grains that spilled and gathered at his feet.

The room was originally designed by Professor Flitwick, lit by magical candles burning in every corner, casting their glow across the space. Overhead, the faint rustling of wings came from countless tiny, flying keys, glittering like gems as they darted about under the vaulted ceiling. These animated keys vividly showcased Flitwick's exceptional skill ...

HRHL# Chapter 58: Family Secrets

"The exact details of it, even your grandfather never heard from your great-grandfather," Lucius said, lightly tapping his fingers on the table. A house-elf scurried forward to refill his tea. "Part of the reason involves the goblins, so the Malfoy family also agreed to avoid mentioning Cassandra."

"Does that mean the Malfoy family fears the goblins?" Draco asked incredulously, staring at his father.

"No, my dragon," Lucius replied gently. "If the goblins hadn’t shown enough sin...

BFH# Chapter 40: The Challenge

Victor readily agreed to Dumbledore’s request. In fact, he found it oddly familiar—eight out of ten of his friends had asked him to do similar things before. They all tended to have substantial wealth or magical artifacts that needed guarding.

As a result, Victor had a repertoire of defensive spells at his disposal—not just one or two, but an entire arsenal spanning a wide range of magical and physical protections.

If necessary, he could even sketch a blueprint for Dumbledor...

HRHL# Chapter 57 "The Malfoy Family, a Secret History"

The Granger household consisted of dentists. They weren’t destitute by any means, but neither could they be described as fabulously wealthy.

There’s an old saying: “Gold teeth and silver eyes.”

Dentistry, after all, was a lucrative profession. For the Grangers, being exceptional in their field meant their clinic was always bustling with patients.

Take their Bentley Arnage, for instance—it represented half a year’s income for Mr. Granger.

Oddly enough, Mr. G...

BFH# Chapter 39: Dumbledore's Plan

“That way, over there.”

“See him? The one in the black cloak.”

“Yes, the one who looks just like the old bat. That’s him—Gringotts’ consultant, the new Divination professor. They say even the goblins follow his advice!”

“Hey, do you think if I apply for a job there, he could pull some strings for me?”

The next morning, as Victor walked to the Great Hall, the corridors buzzed with whispers like these. Groups of students gathered, craning their neck...

HRHL # Chapter 56: That’s Just How Slytherins Are

The holidays had finally arrived. Early in the morning, Hermione boarded the Hogwarts Express to return home. Among her dormmates, only Ron stayed back at Hogwarts, while Seamus and Neville had also gone home for the break.

As Hermione read in her compartment, a knock came at the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone here?"

Initially annoyed at the interruption, Hermione looked up and was surprised to see Harry and Ron standing there.

“Harry? Ron?” she exclaimed, her mood li...

BFH# Chapter 38: A Special Letter

In the cozy ambiance of the Three Broomsticks pub, the yellow candle flames flickered gently on the tables, casting a warm glow over the wooden furniture, nearby greenery, and a group of professors.

Among them, Rosmerta and Hagrid sat wide-eyed, staring at Victor across the round table. Victor maintained his usual calm demeanor, as if guiding goblins was an entirely ordinary and effortless matter.

Professor Flitwick’s sharp voice was the first to break the silence, his eyes wide...

HRHL# Chapter 55: No One Understands Malfoy Better Than Me

"That might have to wait," Harry said.

The twins exchanged a glance and asked in unison, "Why?"

"Well, the first time, you could claim it was unintentional. But if you do it again, it would look like you're deliberately pranking a professor," Harry shrugged.

"You're right," the twins said with a chuckle. "Anyway, there are no classes today. Want to join us for a snowball fight?"

"No, I’ve got something to do," Harry declined.

As he was about to head to the Grea...

BFH# Chapter 37: New Tidings in the Three Broomsticks

Inside the cozy warmth of the Three Broomsticks, the professors gathered around their usual table found themselves enveloped in a rare moment of silence. Professors Flitwick and Sprout exchanged glances, neither speaking, as muted voices from outside filtered in.

It was unmistakably Professor McGonagall, reprimanding Fred Weasley.

"Unauthorized spell-casting… dueling without permission… pushing your classmate into a tree… Are you trying to get yourselves expelled? I can hard...

HRHL# Bab 54: Quirrell Secret

The anguished scream was so loud that even the students in the Great Hall heard it clearly.

Justin Finch-Fletchley, a Muggle-born Hufflepuff dozing at his table, jerked awake.
"Whose cat is that?"

----

Outside the hall, Professor Quirrell was frantically pounding at the biting cabbage latched onto the back of his head. His pained howls echoed through the castle.

"Professor Quirrell?"

Professor McGonagall hurried over, flanked by Professors Flitwick and Sprout....

BFH# Chapter 36: The Weasley Blessing

Standing on the sunlit lawn beside the Three Broomsticks pub, Fred finally understood.

Fred got it.

In that instant, countless myths and stories he had read before flashed through his mind, including one or two from India. Regardless of their origin, they all emphasized one crucial point—how blessings were worded mattered greatly. No matter how similar the intent sounded, blessings that deviated from the wording would never take effect.

For instance, Fred had once read the...

HRHL# Chapter 53: Ambush Quirrell

Harry slipped the biting Chinese cabbage into a small pouch—one he had bought earlier in Diagon Alley from a rather mysterious wizard.

The pouch, enchanted with an Undetectable Extension Charm, was no longer legally sold. Exceptions were made only for trunks, which first-years had to purchase from specific vendors.

He also stuffed a pair of dragon-hide gloves into his pocket. Without gloves, handling the Chinese biting cabbage could leave your hands in a terrible state.

BFH# Chapter 35: Duel after Blessing

Although he didn’t possess exceptional wisdom, being invulnerable to blades and spells wasn’t a bad deal either.

On the other side, the two Weasleys were thinking along these lines as they crawled one after another, backsides sticking out, through the hole in the wall. Initially, they had hoped Victor would allow them to exit with dignity, but their request was firmly rejected, leaving them no choice but to crawl back the way they came.

As George's backside moved out of sight,...

BFH# Chapter 34: Blessing

In the dimly lit Screaming Shack, Fred and George exchanged puzzled glances. Outside, Lee Jordan continued hopping around, occasionally shouting their names in an attempt to figure out what was happening inside.

However, the three inside unanimously ignored him.

A few seconds later, Fred and George spoke in unison:

"Blessing?"

"Yes," Viktor nodded.

"It’s something fairies and Patronuses like to cast. I happened to learn it, though the effects are slightly weake...

HRHL# Chapter 52 : How to attack the professor

As Christmas approached, the weather in the Scottish Highlands grew colder by the day.

More and more students chose the warmth of the castle over the bitter chill outside. They clustered around fireplaces to soak in the heat, lingered at long tables over steaming meals, or found any excuse to avoid the biting cold altogether.

The recent clash with the Slytherins had not reached the professors' ears. The Gryffindor students were wise enough to steer clear of trouble, while the Slyt...

HRHL# Chapter 51: You won't be so lucky next time, Potter

Gemma grabbed Harry's hand and used it to steady herself as she stood up.

“Do you really think they’ll listen to you?” Harry asked, slipping his hands into his pockets. His tone was casual, but there was a hint of curiosity. “I mean, you just lost to a first-year. Won’t that hurt your reputation in your house?”

Gemma smiled faintly, her composure unshaken.

“If it’s to the great Savior himself, no. After all, you defeated the Dark Lord,” she replied smoothly...

BFH# Chapter 33: The Witch's

The dim interior of the Screaming Shack was pierced by a faint beam of light streaming through a crack in the corner of the wall, illuminating a spot in the room that had already been cleaned. Before it was tidied, that spot bore a smudged trail left by clothing—likely from when the Weasley twins crawled in through there.

Fred Weasley's eyes darted mischievously, and with a grin, he swiftly changed the subject.

"Professor, did your shoes just glint? Was that some sort of magical...

BFH# Chapter 32: Hogsmeade and Shrieking Shack

On the other side, Victor quickly put Quirrell out of his mind—mainly because Quirrell had nothing valuable enough to offer. At this point, Victor wasn’t inclined to negotiate and certainly wasn’t willing to waste his time persuading someone like Quirrell.

After a quick cost-benefit analysis, Victor decisively abandoned him.

Stepping off the carriage, Victor arrived at Hogsmeade Village.

Professor McGonagall was still waiting at the station for the remaining students t...

HRHL# Chapter 50: Wizard Duel!

Wizard's Duel?

At Gemma Farley's words, the gathered students erupted into an uproar.

A fifth-year student publicly challenging a first-year newcomer to a duel in front of everyone?

Was this a distortion of humanity or a collapse of morality?

Harry raised his head, meeting Gemma's sea-blue eyes.

"Miss Farley, are you challenging me to a wizard's duel?"

"Yes, Mr. Potter." Gemma's expression was serious, though she didn’t draw her wand. "Yo...

BFH# Chapter 31: Conversation in the Carriage

After Victor boarded the carriage, students continued to file into the various carriages, preparing to embark on their trip to Hogsmeade.

Despite the number of students avoiding the same carriage as the professors, someone approached Victor's carriage—Quirrell.

Today, Quirrell wore a purple turban, and his gait and expression still carried a nervous edge. But under the bright sunlight, others were surprised to notice that he had a rather delicate face and a tall, slender figure....

HRHL# Chapter 49: I mean All of you here are trash!

Flint never expected that Harry was just as eager to teach this group of Slytherins a lesson.

Arrogant, self-important, and smug...

Ha! You lot think you’re worthy?

You’re a disgrace to the Slytherins of a hundred years ago!

With quick reflexes, Harry used his wand to deflect the curse, swiftly following up with an Expelliarmus.

It was a subtle technique—while it appeared as if Harry merely used his wand to parry, it was actually a Protego...

HRHL# Chapter 48: College War

Nicolas Flamel—Harry had met this renowned alchemist during Christmas in his fifth year when he visited the Newmongard Castle.

The Grindelwalds and the Flamels were friends, which is why Veratia had taken him to visit the Flamels that Christmas.

Harry had a deep impression of them—after all, there weren’t many people as fragile and brittle as Nicolas Flamel, who looked almost like a gingerbread cookie.

Just as Harry was lost in his memories, Hermione s...

HRHL# Chapter 47 I've seen him before!

Creating a magical mark was no easy task.

Harry had spent half a day experimenting in the Room of Requirement without success.

Meanwhile, Hermione and Ron were happily dueling with Expelliarmus spells, taking turns to pummel the training dummy with visible delight.

However, Harry couldn’t help noticing an issue. Ron’s talent wasn’t bad at all, but his mismatched wand made learning spells twice as hard and half as effective.

Harry recalled Ollivander...

HRHL# Chapter 46: Expelliarmus

When Harry gave his answer, Dumbledore smiled, a look of relief spreading across his face.

"Legilimency. The incantation is Legilimens," he said, putting the cockroach cluster candy back into its jar.

"But you don’t need to worry. I don’t use this spell on young wizards," Dumbledore added with a wise smile befitting his age. "I’ve lived long enough, Harry. For a man over a hundred years old, whatever a child of eleven is thinking is written all over their face."

BFH# Chapter 30: To Hogsmeade

The next few days passed uneventfully.

Classes during this time offered little novelty. Even with just one spell to learn, students needed weeks to fully master it, which included absorbing the accompanying theory.

Meanwhile, although Divination had quickly become a hot topic at Hogwarts, it caused little additional commotion. This was largely due to the contrasting teaching methods of Professors Trelawney and Snape, which left much to be desired.

Life at the school carried ...

HRHL# Chapter 45: HeadMaster Phineas

Harry sat in the chair across from the desk, looking a bit uneasy.

Dumbledore smiled kindly at Harry, assuming his nervousness stemmed from it being his first one-on-one meeting with the Headmaster.

“Oh, Harry, relax,” Dumbledore said warmly. “You know, I was once a Gryffindor student too. In fact, you could call me your senior.”

Harry glanced up at Dumbledore, then quickly lowered his gaze again.

He didn’t argue. He wasn’t sure what the co...

BFH# Chapter 29: Conflict

“Angelina is right, Fred. I couldn’t figure out a single question. Those mists just look like a white blur to me—nothing else.”
In Transfiguration class, Lee Jordan tossed his wand onto the table in frustration.

“We’re definitely going to fail the test, but you guys did great, and it’s unfair to keep bringing it up.”

“…Sorry, Lee, Angelina.”

Fred and George immediately became flustered and apologized.

George tried to comfort them:
“We just...
