Know-Thy-Enemy (II) [Chapter 139]

A hulking mass of flesh, bones, muscles, and gore towered over Harry and Himera… The two of them could still see human faces and various limbs strewn across the whole mass. The mass started to take the form of a massive serpent, but it still retained all faces, limbs, bones, and gore around its body. They started to wonder how many people had to be killed to create this sort of monstrosity.

“Well, this is something only the Dark Lord would create, wouldn’t you agree?” Harry glan...

~~Little Hangleton, England~~ (An hour ago)

Himera arrived at the edge of a small village named Little Hangleton with a loud crack, but fortunately, there was nobody around her to notice her arrival… It took her some asking around to find where the Gaunts lived when they were still alive. Himera discovered that the Gaunts weren’t liked much and they were paupers too. That was probably why they were living in a backward shithole like this.

Thankfully, Little Hangleton wasn’t ...

The-Boy-Who-Struck-Back (I) [Chapter 137]

Even though Harry said that he was going to watch their back, it didn’t mean that he was going to stay idle… While walking toward the Guild building, Jacklyn quickly Transfigured her face to look like someone else as she didn’t want to be recognized by the Guild. Harry also transformed his face and his eyes to look like someone else…

The Guild will obviously suspect him as they were looking for the person who placed the contract for him, but as long as they wouldn’t have anyt...

“So, what do you think about the Wand?” Harry asked after Gellert cast a few Spells with his new Wand. It took Violetta only a few hours to finish Gellert’s Wand and from the look on Gellert’s face, he was quite satisfied with the Wand, but Harry decided to ask him how it felt, after all, Violetta could be seen eagerly waiting for a glowing review.

“This is good… Much better than my original Wand” Gellert answered as he stared at the Wand in his hand.

“Kukuku… ...

~~Library, Hogwarts~~

Daphne Greengrass stared at the newspaper in front of her with a conflicted look on her face. Grindelwald never escaped in her world and, to be honest, she didn’t even know that Grindelwald was still alive. Almost the whole British Wizarding community believed that Grindelwald was killed by Dumbledore after their legendary duel, but much to their surprise, Grindelwald was still alive and kicking.

That was the exact reason why there was so much unrest in B...

Preparation-They-Made (II) [Chapter 132]

“You forgot to tell him that you kept killing all the Hydra Agents you came across after that incident” One of the Wizards from the crowd pointed out helpfully.

Right now, Gellert’s followers were setting up the tents, so they could be seen milling around. Harry was also bleeding on the inside as he had to spend a lot of gold on the tents and their food. He needed to find a source of income or he might end up spending all of his savings within a week and that would be quite hurtf...

~~Jacklyn’s Pad~~ (An hour ago)

Jacklyn stared at herself in the mirror with a hint of trepidation twisting inside her Mind. A small part of her Mind felt like a monster was staring back at her, but the rest of her was simply content even though quite a bit eager for some more intense action… After returning from her short, but satisfying trip, she made her way straight to the training room to clear her mind.

After all, she had a lot to think about…

Jacklyn always k...

Action-Is-All-That-Left (III) [Chapter 130]

Himera entered the bar only to be blasted on her face by the loud music and the fancy flashing lights… It took a moment for her eyes and ears to get adjusted. The place wasn’t much different from Muggle nightclubs, not that prominent Purebloods knew that. Himera eyed the strippers dancing on the poles with their chests bared for everyone to see…

There were some people gathered around the strippers and the way they were tossing their gold at the strippers, Himera decided that they...

~~Grindelwald’s Cell, Nurmengard Castle, Austria~~

“So, what is it going to be?” Harry asked as he raised his eyebrows at the former Dark Lord. Gellert eyed Harry warily… He could only accept the first option. What other choice did he have? He didn’t want to end up as someone's slave, but becoming a willing slave was much better than becoming a Mindless one, especially when he was going to end up as a slave either way.

After some consideration, he realized that he migh...

“Cornelius, you cannot allow that boy to dictate your actions. What do you think the rest of the world would think? The rest of the Wizarding World is already watching us thanks to the Triwizard Tournament and if we allow a 14 year old to blow us off like this then we will be treated as laughing stock” Lucius Malfoy explained smoothly, looking extremely distressed for his friend.

“Cornelius, I believe...

~~Grindelwald’s Cell, Nurmengard Castle, Austria~~

Thankfully, the cell door stayed open even after the alarm was triggered or all his subtle, but hard work would have gone down the drain… His hard work did go down the drain as soon as the alarms were triggered, but he at least had something to show for… He waved his hand in the air with a dismissive look on his face, releasing a specific amount of raw Magic in the air to contaminate the Magic around him. He didn’t want anyone ...

Ready-Set-Action (IV) [Chapter 126]

While Harry had asked her not to attack them on her own, he never told her that she couldn’t kill anyone if they decided to attack her… Jacklyn had long realized that Harry was basically keeping her away from the action. She could understand why he was doing that… She knew that it wasn’t because he didn’t believe in her skills, he was doing this because he cared about her. While Jacklyn would admit, it was really sweet, but to be honest, it was getting on her nerves.

Submitting the documents to the Department of Education took a lot more time than he was expecting and getting the dates for his exams took even more time, but at least, he had the dates. His exams were going to start from the day after tomorrow and since he had opted for all the subjects except for Xylomancy, it was going to take three days to finish all of his exams and then the Department of Education would take two weeks to send him his ...

“Harry… I can still call you that, right?” Carlson asked with a winning smile on his face as he leaned forward on the table. Harry simply shrugged his shoulders dismissively as he didn’t mind if everyone kept calling him ‘Harry’, in fact, he would prefer that instead of every random person using his given name to call him. “Alright, Harry, you know you are putting me in a tough spot, aren’t you?” Carlson asked with a deep frown.

“Wormtail” A small baby-like figure wrapped in a black sheet hissed furiously, but the figure was definitely not a baby, especially not when the figure was sporting red and scaly wrinkled skin. The figure also possessed some distinguished features, such as snake-like nostrils and slit-like eyes. The figure was also holding a bone-white Wand in its tiny disfigured hands and anyone who fought in the last War would have recognize...

Albus Dumbledore carefully watched Harry as Bagman explained to the boy why all of them were here. Sirius pitched in from time to time whenever it looked like Harry was about to snap at Bagman. Yesterday, Albus never got to sleep much as he was busy reviewing the Prophecy delivered by Sybill with the help of his Pensieve in extreme detail. He kept scrutinizing every bit of the Prophecy again and again for hours until the Prophecy finally started to...

Albus Dumbledore pulled out a lemon drop from his pocket and popped it inside his mouth as he stared at the horizon with a jovial smile on his face. All of his plans were finally coming along and Albus couldn’t help but feel satisfied over that fact…  Yes, Sirius was quite angry at him for this development, but Albus was sure that Sirius would eventually get over his anger. He believed that Sirius was simply lashing out at th...

The-Champions-Chosen (II) [Chapter 120]

Harry didn’t even descend for more than a few meters before his form started to shift and moments later, Harry was completely gone, only to be replaced by a massive jet-black harpy eagle with green emerald-like eyes. The harpy eagle flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind as it started to take its way toward Hogwarts.

|Everything looks so beautiful from up here| Lily breathed out as she continued to watch everything through Harry’s eyes.

“...Bombarda Maxima!!” Daphne snarled and the Spell struck the stone statue, shattering it into a million pieces. She hunched down with her hands on her knees while breathing heavily. ‘Fuck this body!’ Daphne cursed inside her mind. She hated how weak her body was… With this body, she wasn’t confident that she could even assassinate Dolores Umbitch, who was probably one of the easiest targets on her list.

It took her another minute t...

He finally finished his own Dark Mark and Harry had to admit, it was quite satisfying. He looked down at the finished model of his Dark Mark and if anyone was around him then they would have felt the pride practically rolling off of him.

Lucius Malfoy was not a happy man… Harry Potter survived and according to his sources within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the whole mercenary group he hired had been wiped out, which meant someone had interfered. He was sure that it wasn’t someone from the light side or they wouldn’t have killed the mercenaries. The Light side kind of rolled like that…

Not only that, Avery somehow managed to get his ars...

/You can fix my arm and tongue?/ Himera asked in disbelief.

/Yes/ Harry confirmed and Himera didn’t know what to say. She had tried to get her arm and tongue fixed by Healers, but it was impossible to regrow limbs or organs with conventional means of Magic. Yes, if she had her arm and tongue then the Healers could have reattached them. /So, do you want me to?/ Harry's question brought her out of her musings.

/Of course, I want to!/ Himera immediately accepted the offer without...

/…and I had my Wand with me/ Himera revealed, surprising both Harry and Jacklyn. The two of them immediately started to wonder why they decided to return her Wand all of a sudden, but they didn’t have to wait long for the answer as Himera started to sign again. /I was so glad to have my Wand back that I forgot the horrors I went through/ Himera smiled mirthlessly.

“I hope you are not planning to turn my house into a prison or a dungeon” Jacklyn drawled dryly when she found that Harry was keeping four prisoners in her house.

“Well… No, not exactly. If my apartment was a bit bigger and not within any sort of civilization, then I would have used my own apartment to keep them” Harry answered unconvincingly, making Jacklyn roll her eyes at him.

“I might start charging you gold if you keep using my house as your personal dungeon” ...

A-Wrong-Turn (III) [Chapter 112]

“How did you know that I was from another world?” The older Daphne asked curiously after she finally regained her bearings. She could already hazard a guess and she was pretty sure that she was right, but she simply wanted to make sure.

“You weren’t the only one watching someone else’s memories” The younger Daphne grumbled. Then she stared at older Daphne with a look of concern on her face. “Are you sure you are alright? How are you even sane?” The younger Daphne asked ...

A-Wrong-Turn (II) [Chapter 111]

‘Yes, she's right… The Death Eaters' attack still happened and Barty Crouch Jr. still escaped the clutches of his father and cast the Dark Mark’ The older Daphne realized, which meant that there were still some similarities between their world. Voldemort returned at the end of her fourth year and killed Harry Potter of her world in the graveyard. After that, he decided to lie low and consolidate his power.

While the deaths of Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter were a tragedy, the Mi...

Daphne Greengrass shot up from her bed, breathing heavily… A bit of moonlight was filtering through the windows inside the room, so the room wasn’t completely dark. Daphne continued to breathe heavily for the next few moments before she finally looked down at her hands… She moved her hands as she kept staring at them intently and moments later, a deranged look appeared on her face.

She finally stopped moving her hands and placed them over her face… “Keke” A bit of mad cackl...
