Chapter 632: This Deal Is Worth It

By Monday, a rumor had spread like wildfire through Hogwarts Castle. Word was that during the previous day’s Quidditch training match, Kyle and the Weasley twins had clashed in the Changing Rooms over some dispute.

At first, most dismissed the idea outright. Everyone knew Fred, George, and Kyle were inseparable, the kind of friends who wouldn’t let a disagreement escalate into something serious. But skepticism began to fade when someone noticed the twins sporting obvious injuries. 2025-03-18 13:15:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 631: Dumbledore’s Secret Army

When Kyle arrived at the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, the corridor was eerily empty. He knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Umbridge’s familiar, high-pitched voice called from within.

Kyle pushed open the door and stepped inside. The room hadn’t changed much since his last visit—frilly decor, overly ornate trinkets, and an overwhelming number of cat plates adorning the walls. In fact, there seemed to be even more of them this time.

“I’m disappointed…”<...

Chapter 214: A Chance Encounter with the Sphinx Maester

The name The Flatlands may seem unremarkable, but it perfectly suits the region’s geography. Located northwest of Myr and east and south of Pentos, the area is exactly as its name suggests—an expansive plain stretching as far as the eye can see, without any natural obstructions.

Unlike the Disputed Lands, where various city-states constantly vie for control, the Flatlands have always remained under the dominion of Pentos.

Thanks to its fertile soil and vast open fields, the Fl...

Chapter 213: Who Can Prove It

Just as everyone was still reeling from the revelation of Lynd’s identity, Young Griff suddenly stepped forward and asked, “Have you come to kill me, Lord Lynd, the Chosen One?”

Jon Connington’s heart clenched at the boy’s words. He quickly pulled Young Griff behind him, shielding him protectively.

Lynd tilted his head slightly, gazing at the boy before responding, “Who are you? And why would I want to kill you?”

With his chest puffed out, Young Griff declared,...

Chapter 630: The Snitch

The gathering at The Hog’s Head lasted longer than Kyle had expected—nearly two hours before anyone began to leave.

The first to emerge were Fred, George, and their friend Lee Jordan, who hurried out of the pub and headed straight for Zonko’s Joke Shop.

Following them, Colin from Gryffindor, Angelina, Ryan, and Mikel from Hufflepuff, Justin, and three Ravenclaw boys whose names Kyle couldn’t even pronounce filtered out.

Their departure drew the attention of bystander...

Chapter 629: Discounts Among Colleagues

After about twenty minutes, the shopkeeper and Daphne finally emerged from the back of the shop.

“Just make the changes I mentioned and deliver it to Hogwarts tomorrow. Is that okay?” Daphne, walking ahead, said with a confident tone.

“No problem,” the shopkeeper replied with a pleasant smile. “I’ll ensure the dress is delivered to Hogwarts on time.”

“Good,” Daphne nodded, then turned towards the door with the shopkeeper escorting her. “We’re heading ba...

Chapter 628: They’re Really Rich

“Oh, the esteemed Professor Diggory.”

A few days later, on the way to Hogsmeade Village, Fred winked at Cedric and said, “Please allow me to greet you and offer you my humble respects.”

George, suppressing a grin, looked at him seriously. “If it's possible, Professor, could you please exempt us from our homework?”

Cedric rubbed his forehead in mild distress.

Though he'd long since come to expect sarcasm from the twins, he still felt a headache brewing after...

Chapter 627: The Gap Between Wizards

“As much as I hate to admit it, it’s true,” Cedric said with a grin, looking at the wide-eyed disbelief on Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s faces. “Kyle learned the sixth-year Transfiguration curriculum back in our third year during the Transfiguration Club. At the time, everyone, including Professor McGonagall, thought it was incredible."

“That’s why she decided to recommend Kyle to Transfiguration Today,” Kanna added.

She gave a knowing nod, recalling how Kyle...

Chapter 212: The Fugitive

The White Gull Garden was a villa with a garden located not far from the port district. Its name came from the view—standing in the courtyard, one could see the entire port, along with the white gulls circling nearby.

The villa was neither the largest nor the most beautiful in the area, but it was by far the most heavily guarded. Dozens of men patrolled outside, and even within the villa, soldiers from the Golden Company stood watch.

At that moment, in the villa's courtyard gard...

Chapter 211: The True Truth

After handling Fenya’s matters, Lynd did not immediately enter the city. His current attire was too conspicuous, so he left through the south gate, circled halfway around Myr’s outer walls, and found a relatively secluded grove where he removed his armor and changed into a standard mercenary outfit. He then entered Myr through the north gate.

Unlike the quiet and sparsely populated south gate, the scene outside the north gate was entirely different. Many merchant caravans had gather...

Chapter 626: Why Don’t You Teach Us Instead?

In addition to Divination and Transfiguration classes, Umbridge also attended Professor Flitwick's Charms class.

According to Cedric, it was the most lifeless Charms lesson he had ever experienced. Professor Flitwick wore a somber expression the entire time, responding to Umbridge's questions with a distinct lack of enthusiasm, a stark contrast to his usual spirited demeanor.

“We have to do something,” Cedric said worriedly during dinner, pushing his food around without taking...

Chapter 625: Umbridge Messes with the Wrong Person

By the time Kyle reached the seat Kanna had saved for him, a generous serving of lunch was already waiting on his plate.

“So, what happened?” Kanna asked as he sat down.

“Just as we suspected,” Kyle replied, picking up his fork. “Umbridge—or rather, the Ministry of Magic—is targeting the professors. But there’s something I didn’t expect.”

“What’s that?”

“Professor Trelawney,” Kyle said, placing a piece of toast on his plate. “I think she...

Chapter 624: How Good Are You at the Memory Charm?

It seemed that after being granted the title of High Inquisitor, Umbridge wasted no time in proving her loyalty to Fudge.

Naturally, she didn’t go after formidable opponents like Professor McGonagall or Professor Flitwick right away. Instead, she chose a softer target: Professor Sybill Trelawney and her Divination class.

To carry out her plan, Umbridge observed a fifth-year Divination lesson that afternoon. By the time Kyle arrived at the Great Hall, Ron was already at the Gryff...

Chapter 623: Fudge’s Schemes

Apart from Dumbledore, there was someone else who was equally furious about the article.

Umbridge was nearly seething with rage at Rita Skeeter. After reading that morning's Daily Prophet, she stormed back to the Ministry of Magic without even pausing for breakfast.

With the professors absent, there was naturally no Defence Against the Dark Arts class that day. However, given Umbridge's teaching methods, it made little difference whether she was present or not. After all,...

Chapter 210: The Future Merchant Prince

Entering the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, Fenya noticed that the surrounding merchants briefly paused when they saw her and the guards behind her. However, they quickly turned back to their own affairs, paying her little attention.

Fenya stood at the entrance, surveying the room before striding directly to one of the chamber’s attendants. “I want to see your manager,” she said.

The attendant recognized her and cast a glance at the guards behind her before replying apologetic...

Chapter 209: The Political Struggles of Myr

“A Dothraki warhorse and five Chosen Golden Dragons—no one in all of Myr can outbid me.”

Late at night, a slightly overweight Lysene merchant of clear Valyrian descent arrived at Lynd’s camp, eager to negotiate the purchase of a Dothraki warhorse.

The merchant was well-traveled and knowledgeable. When he saw Lynd clad in an exquisitely crafted suit of armor, he paused for a brief moment before quickly regaining his composure and getting straight to business.

What sur...

Chapter 622: A Flustered Dumbledore

Fudge acted more swiftly than anyone could have predicted.

The first sign was in The Daily Prophet.

Previously, the paper had regularly run articles attacking Dumbledore, each concluding with a firm denial of You-Know-Who’s return. But since Fudge’s visit to The Three Broomsticks, the tone of the publication had shifted entirely. For a whole week, not a single mention of You-Know-Who appeared in its pages.

The furious voices that had dominated its columns seemed...

Chapter 621: Then I’ll Have to Use the Memory Charm Again

Fudge had barely exited when Kanna entered The Three Broomsticks, carrying two bags of sweets.

“So the person you were meeting this time was the Minister of Magic?” she asked, her tone incredulous.

“Yes,” Kyle replied with a grin. “Fudge came to talk me out of school. Apparently, he wants me to become the next Minister of Magic right now.”

At first, Kanna’s heart sank in alarm, but as Kyle continued, she realized he was teasing. Her worry turned to irritation a...

Chapter 620: The Minister Who Won’t Step Down

Fudge seemed momentarily distracted by Kyle’s words, responding with a distracted, “Yes, I can see that.” His gaze shifted, scanning the surroundings.

Kyle had deliberately chosen a secluded corner seat, one far from the windows and tucked behind a large decorative plant. From outside, it was impossible to see this part of the pub, and even for someone entering, the plant obstructed much of the view. Fudge, noticing the privacy, nodded in satisfaction.

For a while, the conve...

Chapter 619: Fudge’s Letter

By Friday, the weather remained as gloomy and rain-soaked as it had been all week. Yet, the Hufflepuff Quidditch team hadn’t missed a single training session.

As Fred had pointed out earlier, Cedric was becoming increasingly reminiscent of Oliver Wood, driven by an intense focus on the game. A bit of rain wasn’t going to stop him.

At 8:30 p.m., the team returned, thoroughly drenched and exhausted, to the welcoming warmth of the Hufflepuff common room.

Kyle removed the wa...

Chapter 208: The Khal's Fear

After assessing the situation, Fenya immediately realized this was a major opportunity. She quickly ordered her men to retrieve some weapons from the wagons and handed them to the Dothraki, offering them as a form of trade instead of gold.

The Dothraki inside the tent each took a scimitar, tested its weight and balance, and nodded in satisfaction. In return, they pulled out gold-cast seals from their belts and tossed them to Fenya.

The transaction proceeded smoothly. Fenya offload...

Chapter 207: The Stallions of the Dothraki Sea

The rain stopped early the next morning. Fenya was up at dawn, instructing her men to pack up. They set off while the air was still cool from the rain. If they waited for the sun to rise, the ground would become stiflingly hot as the rainwater evaporated.

Lynd mounted his horse, riding at the rear of the caravan. The warhorses followed closely, as if acknowledging his mount as their leader.

The ruins of the village were now silent, with more than a hundred pale, bloodless corpses ...

Chapter 618: The Professor’s Strange Behavior

“Kanna, listen to me. If you have the time, you should take Snape to the Hospital Wing and have Madam Pomfrey check him out. I’m starting to think he might’ve drunk the wrong potion.”

In the Hufflepuff Common Room that evening, Kyle was trying to convince Kanna to pay closer attention to Snape’s condition. His genuine concern, however, was met with silence. Kanna focused on her homework, showing no intention of engaging with him. Occasionally, when she tired of Kyle’s persis...

Chapter 617: Bonus Points in Potions Class?

Weekends always seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

By Monday morning, sunlight streamed through the dormitory window, waking Kyle naturally instead of an alarm clock. Mikel and Ryan were still fast asleep, their breaths slow and even. Not wanting to disturb them, Kyle dressed quietly and slipped out of the dormitory.

On his way to the Great Hall, he encountered Filch. After last year's events, the castle caretaker seemed like a completely different person. Gone was the tyranni...

Chapter 616: The Many Clubs of Hogwarts

After leaving Umbridge’s office, Kyle walked briskly down the corridor toward the Great Hall. It was already noon, and the Great Hall buzzed with students gathering for lunch.

Near the Hufflepuff table, Cedric and the Quidditch team were deep in discussion, chatting about the new recruits from the morning’s tryouts. When Cedric spotted Kyle, he immediately scooted over to make space.

“How was your detention with Professor Umbridge?” Cedric asked as Kyle sat down. “Did sh...

Chapter 615: I’m Going to Report Dumbledore

The atmosphere in Umbridge’s office had grown eerily quiet, the only sound the steady scratching of Kyle’s quill as it moved across the parchment. Sunlight streamed through the window, highlighting the thick stack of parchment on the desk, each line bearing the same sentence over and over.

Kyle had added ink multiple times, his hand cramping as he pushed through the monotonous task. By noon, he had finally finished the required 500 lines.

“That was exhausting...” he mutter...

Chapter 206: Firsthand Myrish Intelligence

Lynd feigned the demeanor of a traveler newly arrived in the region and asked, “I just got here and don’t know much about the situation. I have a few questions.”

“Go ahead,” Fenya hesitated for a moment before responding.

Lynd continued his act. “Why are so many Dothraki gathered here? I traveled from Bello Town to this place and encountered at least four different Dothraki Khals from separate khalasars. Have they moved Vaes Dothrak here?”

Fenya sighed at the q...

Chapter 205: The Lion Knight

The sound of hooves pounding through the heavy rain meant the Dothraki were close—perhaps already inside the ruined village.

Yet something was off. The hoofbeats were frantic, not slowing even after entering the village. They weren’t moving like hunters tracking prey. They were fleeing.

"Someone's chasing them," Fenya immediately realized.

Then, another thought struck her. The wagons loaded with goods were still by the roadside. Anyone passing through the village’s Val...

Chapter 614: Learning More Ancient Runes is Still Useful

In the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, Umbridge sat dazed on the floor, as if she couldn’t process what had just happened. She only snapped out of it when a tingling sensation spread across her body.

“Damn it, you... how dare you...” she began to sputter.

Pop!

Another sharp sound rang out. A decorative plate with a kitten on it flew off the wall and smashed squarely onto Umbridge’s head.

Then came a second plate, then a third.

It wasn’t u...

Chapter 613: No More Pretending, Time to Reveal Everything

Umbridge's reaction was quicker than Kyle had anticipated.

By Friday afternoon, it was time for the sixth-year Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Before Sirius had been taken away, the original plan had been to learn new spells. But now, the professor had changed.

When Kyle and Kanna entered the classroom, they found Umbridge already seated behind the podium, dressed in her usual hideous, shaggy pink cardigan.

The room was silent. Kyle, without a word, chose a random seat ...
