Harry Evans Chapter 134: Last step before the abyss

Harry easily side-stepped a stunning spell and then ducked slightly to let a disarming charm fly over his head, ruffling his hair.

It was a bit unfair to his opponent, who for once was actually the same age as him, but he was essentially just using this duel, and the tournament in general as a practice ground.

Another step forward.

The face of his 14-year old Russian adversary tightened into an even bigger grimace as the distance between the two duelists shortened to only fi...

Rattata Chapter 65: Day 1 of the new me!

“I see,” Jessie eventually said from where she was seated on the grass opposite Joey on the northern outskirts of Viridian.

They’d moved here to allow Happiny a less concrete jungle first look at reality. Something she seemed to appreciate as she was happily playing inside the stream gurgling away through the clearing with Joey’s Misdreavus and an errant Magikarp. She was occasionally picking up stones from the river bed, but had until now discarded all of them without a second ...

Going back to the village chief only confirmed what Biri had already told them. It seemed that the hammer-wielding man was as straightforward as his weapon suggested.

The weathered old man with the scorpion-stinger necklace explained that he had twenty stingers and that he was willing to give these as a reward as long as his daughter was brou...

Harry Evans 18: The Headmaster's summons

Harry was in the library, which in itself wasn't particularly odd. He was in the library often enough, although less than at the beginning of the year. These days he was mostly practising potions with Penny, learning to cast the disillusionment and noise-muffling charms as a combo and finishing up the formal aspects of his word-searching spell. Finalising the formal aspects, because the magical ones were completed. The spell was done. The only thing he and Flitwick were working on right now w...

Harry Evans 35: Getting manhandled by a stick on wheels

'I need a room in which I can practise duelling.' Was the phrase running through Harry's mind on the morning after the sorting. He'd woken up extremely early so that he could slip out of the common room and had made his way to the Room of Requirement.

Once there he stepped through the door that appeared in the wall and gazed appreciatively at the grand hall given to him for his practice and at the dummies standing on the far end. He'd promised himself that he wouldn't be weak anymore, o...

Harry Evans 34: Start of Year 2 The Potter bogaloo

Harry stood on platform 9 ¾ wondering what the following year would bring. More Charms, more Occlumency, hopefully, and hopefully some money from the Room of Requirement. It all sort of depended though, on the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

He entered the train and started looking for a compartment. If the new DADA professor was a psychopath like Twix had been, then the year might derail, like the last one had.

All in all, Harry had set his intentions and one of them wa...

Harry Evans Interlude: James Potter

James stormed out of the Wizengamot meeting, the red on his face probably not doing amazing things for his colour coordination when one considered the hideous plum that was traditional for the institution. People knew to get out of his way, as his brisk and angry walk was a regular occurrence each time the assembly decided to grace the magical population of Britain with another one of its riveting sessions"

"Politics, huh," a red-haired man with a few more years than James said once the...

Harry Evans 33: The end of summer

"Professor Flitwick," Harry began when he and the Charms master were standing in front of the door to the Dursley home in Surrey. "I've recently started reading up on duelling, and I was wondering if there were any tips you could give me in regards to me perhaps competing in the U17 division."

Flitwick looked at him kindly. "Duelling, Harry? You did well in your exams right now. But I don't think now is the right time considering your increased workload with both third-year Charms and s...

Harry Evans Chapter 32: The Advance exams

Harry was walking down Diagon Alley, after having finished his purchases and bemoaned the state of his wallet. There were so many interesting things to buy in the Wizarding World, but he was too broke to get them. He was just coming up with a plan on using the Room of Requirement to find some coins when he saw a head of purple loitering about in front of a quidditch supply store and frowning at a newspaper. He hefted the extra book he'd been able to get by buying the other stuff second-hand, ...

Harry Evans 31: The severe path of Severus Snape

Vernon heaved a large stack of printing paper into the trunk of their family car. At the same time, Harry carried what must have been an industrial amount of ink.

"Are you sure that's enough paper?" Vernon asked as he looked at the large stack. "Could do with twice that when I was your age attending school. They've really let up, haven't they?"

Harry sighed, patted his uncle on the shoulder, an act he had to go on his tippy toes for and went back to the crosswalk where he watched ...

Harry Evans 30: Burn it with Fire (academically speaking)

"You've always been a bit of an overachiever, huh," was what Vernon had told Harry once he'd divulged the possibility of him skipping ahead one grade in the subject of charms. Petunia had simply nodded and made his favourite meal that day, which was another underwhelming reaction.

Harry had wondered for a moment if he'd spoiled the Dursleys in the excellence of their children. It was an odd thing to consider, that being so good at two subjects one got an opportunity such as this was wav...

"So you're taking this hat for a walk, is what you're saying?" Petunia asked sceptically, sitting primly in the chair in the flowery living room and taking her afternoon tea. She was casting a doubtful gaze on top of Harry's head, where the sorting hat, or rather, Chanithachuah, was resting.

"Yeah, that's basically what I'm doing," Harry answered, but amended once the sorting hat coughed theatricall...

Harry Evans 28: Vacation

2 weeks after the start of summer vacation -/- South of France

"Did you get the clothes and the sandals?" Harry hissed as he slid into the seaside changing cabin and suspiciously looked through the slit on the side to double-check that they hadn't been followed. Nothing but sand, sea and sand. Coming to the most deserted part of the beach had been a good idea.

"You think I'm an idiot, of course, I got them, bottom of the laundry basket, gross, but worth it. The question is, you ...

Harry Evans 27: First Year (End)

"Finite incantatem," Harry cast at the wooden spoon that he'd animated to dance. It dropped dead onto the table and the next thing Harry did was cast a colour-changing spell at it. He was running through all his spells and seeing if he could cancel them with the cancellation incantation.

"I'm glad you're having fun," Penny grumbled from where she was flitting between several different cauldrons, stirring there, preparing an ingredient there.

"Thanks," Harry said and cast the spell...

Harry Evans 26: Final Exams

Harry had thought long and hard about the events that had transpired that fateful night a few days ago. He'd come to the conclusion that he wasn't all that bothered by the whole thing. He'd survived with all his limbs and his mind intact and the perpetrator was dead. He had made himself the promise to not get too involved in dangerous events and what he regretted the most about the year was that he'd followed Twix to the forest's edge all those months ago. Her snapping him up as she broke int...

Harry Evans 25: I'm waking up I feel it in my bones----

Harry awoke from a nightmare and slowly opened his eyes to gaze at the sunlight penetrating the hospital wing and illuminating its sterility. He couldn't remember what he'd dreamt, only that he'd hated it. He lay there and stared at the arching ceiling for a while, before turning his head to the left to check up on Penny. He almost fell out of his bed as he noticed a bundle of messy blonde hair and blue eyes staring at him from his bedside.

"You're awake, finally! I'm Penny, who are you...

Harry Evans 24: The Curse 3

If Harry thought that his headache after the occlumency practice had been bad… Well, it was nothing in comparison to the gigantic pounding that his grey matter was taking right now. Sledgehammers knocking on his skull from the inside out was what woke Harry up from a comparably pleasant unconsciousness. He clearly opened his eyes, which were at height level with a dusty floor and an abandoned book titled 'Flaying your foes.' Charming, he thought and failed at repressing a groan. 2025-08-25 12:16:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Harry Evans 23: The Hostage

It had taken a while, mostly because they'd revised the entire transfiguration curriculum while they were at it, but after three hours of work, both Cedric and Harry had managed to turn metal into something organic.

Cedric had, on Harry's advice, gone for something not so difficult. The simple fact he could do the transfiguration at all would very likely get him an O+ unless he'd made any other mistakes on the exam. A needle turned into a worm. Completely uninspired, but with the additi...

Harry Evans 22: Those of good breeding

Being invisible was an interesting phenomenon, just walking past people, not being noticed. It was freeing in a sense. He walked amongst the students and remained unseen. In fact, he'd had this spell mastered for almost half a year now and he just couldn't get enough of the privacy it offered. Considering also the criminal potential the spell offered, it was actually sort of impressive he had managed to remain a virtuous saint throughout all this time. It was only now, in May, shortly before ...

Harry Evans Chapter 21: Thinking plans/caps

"Does the wit-sharpening potion actually make you smarter?" Penny asked, tilting her head as she looked at the list of potions that Harry had drawn up to add to her own.

"No, it's just an hour or so of clarity. Essentially it makes you more focused by blending out distractions."

There were three potions that Harry was particularly interested in. The wit-sharpening one. It wasn't particularly useful in an exam situation, no matter how many students tended to try, but it increased o...

Harry Evans Chapter 20: Harry drank that Dum Fuck Juice

Harry was walking down winding corridors lined with paintings towards the Hufflepuff common room, thinking about the fact that if Quirrell and Dumbledore were having a meeting right now, that left two less teachers to come after him if he tried to sneak into the restricted section. The issue of course was that while he was invisible and quiet, the wards that were likely on that part of the library were also invisible. The only way he could imagine getting in there was if he learned more about...

Harry Evans Chapter 19: No Good deed goes unpunished

It was one hour after he'd started his search for a way to defend his mind that Harry left the Room of Requirement, or as he'd dubbed it the room of ordinary objects, behind. He'd decided that he might as well be early to his meeting with Dumbledore and get it out of the way. So he began walking towards the headmaster's office, getting an odd look here and there from whatever student, ghost, or painting crossed his way.

It made sense. It was evening so there wasn't much light out. It w...

Harry Evans Chapter 17: The Mysterious Disappearance of the half-blood Prince

Harry arrived at the abandoned classroom - something that Hogwarts had a lot of - that he and Penny had been using for practice. Perhaps Harry could have simply asked for a room from Slughorn, but he didn't want to waste his favours on something like that. He'd much rather have the copying spell that Slughorn had used, which he would hopefully get by owl tomorrow.

"How did it go?" Penny asked as he entered the room.

"Slughorn agreed with our hypothesis," he said and dropped his sa...

Harry Evans Chapter 16: The Potions Diagnosis

"I've been thinking," Harry started. He, Cedric and Penny were hanging out in the common room before potions class and Harry had a plan.

"Don't hurt yourself," Cedric quipped, causing Penny to roll her eyes from her position on a black and yellow arm-chair.

"If Harry was prone to hurting himself by thinking too hard he would have died by now," she said. "It's rather you who should be worried. You haven't left the quidditch field since you figured out that you could borrow the scho...

Harry Evans Chapter 15: Limit Testing

A few days after his chess game with Penny, Harry found himself standing in front of the greenhouse that served as Sprouts' office. Not because it was actually an office, but because one was much more likely to find her here than elsewhere. His indecision about the matter with Twix had been gnawing at him, causing him to lose out on sleep and focus. In the end, he'd decided to tell a professor about what he'd seen, but not the headmaster. Harry really wanted to get his search function spell t...

Harry Evans Chapter 14: The Curse 2

Harry narrowed his eyes at the figure of the defence professor skulking towards the forbidden forest and cursed. "Fucking bitch!"

What was Twix doing now? Didn't she know that through his reading of the original Harry Potter books, he had a crippling and justified fear of defence professors, especially with his first name being Harry? This woman had already been giving him mini-heart attacks with her cartoonishly suspicious behaviour in the library. Now she was going into the Forbidden ...

Harry Evans Chapter 13: The Curse

Harry waved goodbye to his family from the bright red Hogwarts Express. They'd spent a nice week together after New Year's, in which Harry had made up for his melancholy in the first week of Christmas.

Oddly enough, no matter how much he enjoyed his academic and magical endeavours at Hogwarts and how much he loved his relative independence there, he was already looking forward to summer. He'd finally managed to convince his uncle to go to France and Harry hoped to enjoy some good food a...

Harry Evans Chapter 12: Desecrations of innocence and other past events

Harry woke up on boxing day, refreshed, happy and thriving. He jumped out of his bed, glanced at his clock, put an ABBA vinyl on the player and turned the volume up to the max. He danced as if he were seventeen to the shower, still hearing the music thrumming through the walls into the bathroom and dressed himself in a long red shirt and jogging pants. His bunny slippers were warm and he could smell the roast that had been cooking throughout the night.

"Funny way of torturing someone, l...
