Chapter 132: "Troll Aftermath Part - 2"

Before Charles could respond to Reggy's criticism, Professor McGonagall intervened sharply.

"Miss Granger, five points will be deducted from Gryffindor for this," Professor McGonagall declared sternly. "I'm very disappointed in you. If you're not injured, you should head back to Gryffindor Tower immediately. The feast is still going on, and students are gathering in their houses."

Hermione, looking visibly upset by the...

Chapter 131: "Troll Aftermath Part - 1"

Harry and his friends paused to address the professors who had just arrived on the scene. Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, Snape, and Quirrell were all there. Quirrell, visibly shaken by the sight of the defeated troll, let out a faint whimper and quickly sat down against a nearby wall, clutching his heart as if deeply distressed.

Snape approached the troll to examine it closely, while Professor Flitwick looked around with w...

Chapter 130: "Troll Attack Part - 2"

Just a few moments before the current crisis, Harry had noticed his friends veering off from their usual paths and heading in a different direction. Instantly, he knew exactly what they were planning to do. A mix of pride and frustration surged through him. Internally, he scolded them for their recklessness, yet he couldn't help but feel moved by their bravery and unity.

It was clear to Harry that despite their distinct persona...

Chapter 129: "Troll Attack Part - 1"

In the dimly lit corridor outside the Great Hall, a group of students were stealthily making their way to the Hogwarts moving staircases. The mood among them was tense.

Reggy broke the silence with a worried tone, "Do we really need to find Harry to tell him about the troll? I don't think he'll appreciate us risking our lives for this. Plus, I have a bad feeling about what we're doing."

Elvinia, trying to inject some ligh...

Chapter 128: "Halloween Trouble"

It was Halloween, and Harry couldn't believe how fast time had flown by. In what felt like a blink of an eye, Halloween had arrived. Everything was happening just like in the original story, which made Harry feel oddly comforted.

A few weeks earlier, Neville had told Harry about a midnight duel trap set up by Malfoy. Neville, along with Charles, Ron, and Hermione, had gone to the specified place expecting Malfoy and his friends but...

Days had passed since the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and the incident with Gryffindor losing points. During this time, many interesting things happened.

After Charles's altercation with Snape in the Potions class, he was called to a meeting with Professor McGonagall at the Headmaster's office. Harry didn't know what happened in that meeting, but whatever Dumbledore did, it worked. Snape mostly left Charles ...

Chapter 125: "Quidditch Shake-Up"

As Charles turned toward the door, ready to leave Dumbledore's office, Dumbledore stopped him with a warm call.

"Charley, don't leave with a heavy heart. As Headmaster, it's important for me to act fairly and not misuse my authority to punish anyone unjustly. But I do have something that might cheer you up," Dumbledore said, his face breaking into a kindly smile.

Charles paused and turned back, his curiosity replacing his ea...

Chapter 124: "Charles and Dumbledore"

The door to the Headmaster's office burst open, and Charles, followed closely by Ron, hurried into the room.

"Good evening, Charley," Dumbledore greeted them with a warm smile. "What brings you to the Headmaster's office at this hour? And how on earth did you manage to find your way inside my office?"

Charles, catching his breath, replied, "I missed you, Grandpa Dumbledore. Finding your office was quite an adventure. We ...

Chapter 123: "Dumbledore's Plans"

While Harry was having serious conversations with the Centaur tribe, a different kind of activity was unfolding in the Hogwarts headmaster's office.

Seated behind his grand desk, Dumbledore was immersed in deep thought. He had cleverly set in motion a series of events aimed at confirming his suspicions about Voldemort's continued existence.

He had always known that Voldemort, or Tom as he knew him, had somehow survived, and ...

Chapter 122: "Forest Alliances"

After his encounter with his younger brother Charles, Harry was relieved to leave the castle's commotion behind and enter the serene, shadowy embrace of the Forbidden Forest.

The antics of his brother didn't bother him too much.

Charles was just behaving like the young kid he was, but that didn't mean Harry was ready to deal with him on any level. Rather than engage in pointless arguments, Harry chose to simply ignore him. He ...

Chapter 121: "First Day Clashes"

The new school year at Hogwarts kicked off with its usual lively atmosphere, but for Harry, it was just the start of another busy day. He woke up early and made his way to the Forbidden Forest for his routine morning jog and a bit of sword training.

Chapter 119: "Fragmented Mind"

As the first-year students walked into the Great Hall, the buzz among the older students grew louder. The boy who lived, Charles Potter, was easy to spot with his glasses and green eyes, looking just like the pictures in the children's books about the boy who lived and articles in the Daily Prophet. Everyone recognized him immediately.

Some students glanced over at Harry to see his reaction to his brother's entrance, but Harry didn't...

Neville, looking a bit flustered, replied, "It's okay, Harry. I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen."

Hermione looked embarrassed. "I just wanted to help."

Harry offered some advice to Hermione, keeping his tone g...

Chapter 115: "Countdown to Hogwarts"

As Harry stepped out of the private meeting room at Gringotts, relieved to distance himself from the awkward encounter with the Potter family, he noticed that Sirius and the others had returned from their respective visits to the family vault managers.

"Harry, where did you disappear to?" Sirius asked with a mix of concern and curiosi...

Chapter 114: "The Potter Encounter"

In the bustling lobby of Gringotts, Harry was almost out the door when he was spotted by the Potter family. The atmosphere shifted suddenly, charged with tension.

Harry had hoped to slip away unnoticed, but Lily Potter's voice, full of urgency, stopped him in his tracks.

Her plea caught the attention of those around them. Onl...

Chapter 112: "Quiet Days and End of Second Year"

As the school year pressed on, Harry found himself immersed in various activities.

One of his main responsibilities was tutoring Nymphadora Tonks every weekend, who had started to regret permitting Harry to call her by using her full name—a fact Harry exploited a lot to inject a bit of humor into their classes.

Despite the playful teasing, Tonks appreciated Harry's teaching methods, which she found far super...

Chapter 111: "Aftermath and Nightly Hunts"

After a slow and cautious walk through the school, using the stairs to reach the Room of Hidden Things, Harry finally reached the vanishing cabinet.

Given his current condition, using the cabinet was the safest and quickest way to travel. He considered going to Hogsmeade and calling Mira from there, but using the cabinet meant he wouldn't have to walk all the way to the village, which would take too much time and effort g...

Chapter 110: "The Centaur Encounter"

Despite his injuries and fatigue, Harry knew he couldn't leave the battlefield just yet. He had to clean up and collect the valuable spoils from the fight.

First, Harry quickly created a makeshift splint from twigs he conjured with his wand and applied basic first-aid spells to st...

Chapter 108: "Preparing for the Spider Siege"

After getting ready for his classes back in his dorm, Harry skipped breakfast in the Great Hall and headed straight to the castle kitchens instead. His stomach was growling, and he needed a big meal to satisfy his hunger. Preferring not to draw attention in the public dining area with his hearty appetite and the need to eat quickly due to the lack of time, Harry opted for the privacy of the kitchens.

Following his morn...

Chapter 107: "First Encounter with the Acromantulas"

As the small snake darted toward the gathering of giant acromantulas, it called out loudly in determination, "Speaker, come on, kill these spiders and take back my home!"

Under normal conditions, the sight of such a small snake challenging a group of large acromantulas might have seemed funny, but here, with the imposing spiders looming, it was anything but amusing. Harry felt a pang of worry for the brave littl...

Chapter 104: "Tutoring a Metamorphmagus"
