Chapter 592: The Department of Mysteries

At 5 a.m., with the sky just beginning to lighten, Kyle was awakened by the sound of owls pecking insistently at his window.

Yawning, he sat up and rubbed his face, trying to wake himself up. It took a few minutes before the reality of the day ahead hit him—he was scheduled for questioning at the Ministry. On top of that, Diana had something planned for him at the Department of Mysteries before the official start of the workday.

Quickly, Kyle jumped out of bed, got dressed, and ...

Chapter 591: Dumbledore’s Invitation

It had been a week since the Weasley family left St. Catchpole Village.

To be honest, Kyle was still adjusting to the sudden silence. After being used to the constant chatter and chaos brought by Fred and George, the quiet felt strange.

Percy did return occasionally, but something seemed off about him. Whatever Fudge had told him recently had changed him. Percy now displayed open hostility toward anyone associated with Dumbledore, a stark departure from his usual self.

Kyle ...

Chapter 194: The Effects of the Seven’s Trial

“This is the trial warrior you claim has completed the soul remolding.” In the underground laboratory of the Black Cave, Lynd observed the three towering warriors standing before him. Clad in heavy full-body armor and gripping battle axes, they cut an imposing figure. Turning to Qyburn beside him, he asked his question.

Who would have thought that these massive warriors, taller than Lynd and nearly as tall as Nymeria, had once been frail and emaciated Silent Septons?

After und...

Chapter 193: A Simple Marriage

Lynd did not stay in Miracle Harbor for long. After handling some affairs there, he went to the location chosen by the Cannibal for its lair.

The lair was situated on the east side of Miracle Harbor, not far from the Redemption Sept.

Lynd had a temporary camp built in the area, assigning a team to care for the Cannibal while also ensuring that no one accidentally wandered into the territory and fell victim to its attacks.

He had no intention of keeping the Cannibal stationed...

Chapter 590: The Order of the Phoenix

Kyle didn't understand what the Ministry wanted with the letter. Was it a warning to keep his mouth shut? Or was there another reason entirely?

That evening, he brought it up with Chris, but like Mr. Weasley, Chris had no answers.

“Mafalda Hopkirk from the Improper Use of Magic Office was just following orders,” Chris said. “I went to the Minister's office afterward, but someone mentioned that Fudge has been away for the past two days and hasn’t returned.”

He gave ...

Chapter 589: The Ministry’s Warning Letter

Kyle didn't give much thought to the sudden appearance of the owl in front of him, nor to the letter clutched in its talons. Letters had been flooding in lately, and it would have been more surprising if he hadn’t received one that day.

But for Mr. Weasley to rush back from work... could it be about the meeting Dumbledore had mentioned, as McPhail hinted?

Curiosity piqued, Kyle took the envelope and pulled out the letter, quickly scanning its contents. His expression shifted abr...

Chapter 588: The United Weasleys

“Well, happy collaborating,” Kyle said with a grin as Rita Skeeter stood to leave the Leaky Cauldron.

“I just came in for a Butterbeer because I felt a bit tired of writing. There was no collaboration,” Rita corrected as she snapped her handbag shut. “And we just happened to sit at the same table and chat about the Triwizard Tournament. I didn’t say anything else, and I won’t admit to anything, either.”

“Ah, that’s right,” Kyle said with an amused smile.

Chapter 587: Two Pieces of News

“Don’t get so excited.”

Seeing Rita Skeeter growing increasingly agitated, Kyle waved a hand dismissively and smiled. “I was just joking earlier. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

Although Rita looked like she was trying to intimidate him, Kyle didn’t want to push her too far. Truthfully, he hadn’t expected her reaction to be so intense. She had even claimed she’d rather expose her Animagus secret than cooperate with him.

At the same time, it was clear she...

Chapter 192: Succession of Office

Lynd felt rather unlucky. First, Jon inherited a title and resigned from his position, and now Dacey was doing the same. He was starting to suspect that, aside from those of lowly birth, most of his subordinates had the potential to inherit noble titles.

Jon's situation had been unexpected. House Bulwer was never a significant house in that book from his past life, so he hadn't even known where Blackcrown was, let alone that Jon would inherit a title and a castle.

But Dacey was di...

Chapter 191: Return to Port

Caron was the Iron Throne's secret agent planted in Miracle Harbor. From the moment construction began, he had embedded himself there under the guise of a Free Folk.

For him, life in Miracle Harbor was everything he had dreamed of—a stable job, a steady income, a loving wife, and now, a child on the way.

But he was keenly aware that none of it was real. A mere flick of the finger from King's Landing could shatter his idyllic life in an instant. That was why he had to consistentl...

Chapter 586: Rita Skeeter’s Refusal

“Yes, Mr. McPhail, I have seen the resurrected Voldemort, and I know exactly what ritual he used."

“Professor Dumbledore wasn’t joking—he really has returned. I’m always available to attend your meetings and answer any questions if needed...”

Diagon Alley, Leaky Cauldron.

Kyle sat in a relatively quiet corner of the pub, carefully writing a reply to Dugald McPhail on a piece of parchment.

Over the holidays, he had frequently received simil...

Chapter 585: The Unscathed Professor

Upon reflecting on the matter, Kyle shook his head and said, “Sorry, Harry. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you—it’s just impossible."

“Sirius’s house is protected by the Fidelius Charm. Even if someone other than the Secret Keeper tells you the address, you won’t be able to hear it.”

Hearing Kyle’s explanation, Harry looked deeply disappointed. He had been looking forward to this for a year—the chance to leave the Dursleys and live with Sirius. Yet, a yea...

Chapter 584: Harry’s Protective Spell

The day after the end-of-year banquet marked the official start of the holidays at Hogwarts. Kyle and the others made their way to the platform to board the train back home.

Perched on Kyle’s shoulder was Ratton, the ever-intimidating owl, behaving as if he owned the platform. Ratton stared down every passing owl, causing a cascade of chaos. Wherever Kyle passed, owls screeched and flailed in their cages, their feathers flying.

Even Cho’s owl wasn’t spared.

“Hey, Kyl...

Chapter 583: The Chaos at School

For a time afterward, Harry became the subject of wary attention, as if he were a dangerous person to avoid. Everywhere he went, people cast him complicated glances. Even Hermione and Ron, by association, found themselves under similar scrutiny, becoming part of the group everyone preferred to steer clear of.

Gradually, those looks of suspicion morphed into open ridicule. As the holidays approached, some students even seemed to enjoy mocking Harry. Dumbledore’s request that no one que...

Chapter 190: The Bloody Lady

Just as Lynd was fusing the third character template, far away in the castle of Summerhall, Nymeria, who was handling official documents in Lynd's study, suddenly noticed that the patterns on the surface of the dragon egg—resembling blood vessels—were glowing with a molten, lava-like light.

The Holy Sisters and Silent Men standing guard in the room also witnessed the anomaly. Though they couldn't determine whether this was good or bad, their instincts led them to move protectively a...

Chapter 189: The Third Character Template

“In other words, after my disappearance, not only was there no unrest in the territory, but it actually expanded?” Lynd was momentarily stunned after hearing Baelor Blacktyde's report and spoke in surprise.

“Yes.” Baelor nodded. “Half a month ago, when I left Godsgrace Island, I received news that Greenstone Castle and Weeping Town were preparing to sign a defensive alliance with us. By now, they should have already signed. Summerhall is also planning to build a castle in the ...

Chapter 582: Targeted Harry

For Dumbledore and most of the professors, last night had been destined to be sleepless.

The next morning, Kyle noticed a sharp decrease in the number of people in the castle. Sirius was gone, as were Snape and Professor Moody. Hagrid and Madam Maxime from Beauxbatons had also disappeared, likely called to the Headmaster's Office.

“We could have stayed a few more days,” Fleur remarked as they stood outside the castle to see off the Beauxbatons students. “But Madam Maxime ins...

Chapter 581: Cornelius Fudge

Chris was preparing to return to the Ministry of Magic. After the Triwizard Tournament, his responsibilities as a judge were far from over—among them, returning the Magical Creatures from the maze to their proper locations.

The creatures Hagrid provided posed no issue; they simply needed to be released back into the Forbidden Forest. However, Chris still had to manage the Magical Creatures that Newt had supplied.

Yet, after recent events, he changed his plans. Before leaving Hog...

Chapter 580: The Department of Mysteries’ Targeted Magic

Kyle followed Professor McGonagall and the others through the silent foyer, deep in thought. Soon, they arrived at the Hospital Wing.

Filch was placed on the innermost bed, and Mrs. Norris immediately leaped onto it, curling protectively beside him. In the adjacent bed lay Viktor Krum, unconscious.

“Professor, why is Krum here?” Harry asked curiously. He hadn’t seen the match and had no idea what had happened.

“He encountered the Three-Headed Dog,” Professor McGona...

Chapter 579: Karkaroff’s Strange Behavior

Kyle’s comment unexpectedly lightened the tense atmosphere in the Headmaster’s Office. Even the usually composed Dumbledore chuckled softly.

Still, the proposal did have its allure.

“Alastor, Kyle is only in fifth year,” Dumbledore said, a hint of amusement in his tone. “Let’s wait until he graduates before discussing this further.”

“Perhaps you’re right, Dumbledore,” Moody conceded, though his gaze lingered on Kyle before shifting topics. “Should we in...

Chapter 188: Return

The Cannibal was a well-known wild dragon, recorded by the renowned maester, Archmaester Gyldayn, in his book A True History of the Dance of the Dragons.

According to historical records, more than a hundred years ago, the Cannibal was already nearly as large as Balerion, making it the biggest wild dragon ever known.

Many would-be dragonriders of Targaryen descent had attempted to tame the Cannibal, but in the end, they all became nothing more than bones in its lair.

Chapter 187: Taming the Sea Dragon

The most sensational news across the Seven Kingdoms was undoubtedly the disappearance of the Chosen One, Lynd Tarran, who vanished alongside the Sea Dragon while hunting it.

Many believed that this time, Lynd was truly dead. They had heard the full account from the guild leaders and their men-at-arms who had sailed with him and knew just how massive the Sea Dragon had been.

Even though these witnesses repeatedly insisted that when Lynd struck down the Sea Dragon and sent it plungi...

Chapter 578: An Exciting Job

The award ceremony for the winner of the Triwizard Tournament was an extravagant affair.

Cornelius Fudge, representing the Ministry of Magic, presented Kyle with the Triwizard Cup, accompanied by a prize of 1,000 Galleons.

Madam Maxime and Fleur stood nearby, applauding. Fleur's expression, however, betrayed a hint of regret. The competition had concluded before she’d even had a chance to begin, leaving her without any real experience of the final task.

Still, such were th...

Chapter 577: The Champion

Madam Pomfrey had been waiting near the Quidditch Pitch when the news of Harry and Kyle’s return reached her. She rushed back to the castle immediately, heading straight for the Hospital Wing.

The moment she entered, her attention was drawn to Harry.

His appearance was dreadful—his entire body covered in dust, his once fine robes reduced to ragged tatters, and blood seeping steadily from his injured leg. In contrast, Kyle looked remarkably unscathed. His clothes were cleaner t...

Chapter 576: The Hog’s Head

Hogsmeade was unusually quiet, a stark contrast to its usual bustling atmosphere. With the Triwizard Tournament's final match—the most celebrated event in centuries—drawing everyone, even the shopkeepers, to Hogwarts, the village seemed almost deserted.

That tranquility was shattered moments ago by two shocking announcements: first, Harry Potter’s mysterious disappearance, and then the Champion of the Triwizard Tournament vanishing in front of the crowd.

This prompted an imm...

Chapter 575: Two Death Eaters

Harry's nerves, stretched taut throughout the ordeal, finally began to relax. For the first time, he had a moment to process what had just happened.

Fragments of memory surfaced. He recalled being brought to this place by Filch—or rather, someone pretending to be Filch. No, it had been a Death Eater under Polyjuice Potion. Voldemort had called him Barty Crouch.

Barty Crouch... That name rang a bell. It was the same as Percy’s boss at the Ministry, whom Harry had ...

Chapter 186: Missing

As soon as Lynd reacted abnormally, the crew aboard Arrowhead noticed. The moment he shouted his warning, the ship’s horn player blasted an alert—before Hollis had even given the command.

Immediately, sailors and warriors across the fleet grabbed their weapons, their eyes locked on the dark, deceptively calm sea.

By now, Lynd had pinpointed the sea dragon’s location and identified its intended target. Without hesitation, he drew the greatsword of the Banished K...

Chapter 185: Hunting the Sea Dragon

Timeon was an ordinary fisherman in Tor City—or at least, that’s what he liked to say. But to most people in Tor City, he was anything but. In their eyes, he was the city's biggest seafood merchant. After all, no ordinary fisherman owned fourteen flat-bottomed fishing boats.

Just a year ago, he had been nothing more than a small-time fishmonger in the dock district. However, he had a sharper eye for opportunity than most. When Miracle Harbor presented a golden chance, he seized it.<...

Chapter 574: This Snake Is Nice, I’ll Take It!

The sudden mist obscured Voldemort and the Death Eaters' view, making them lose their target.

Faced with the dense fog that blanketed almost the entire mountain, Voldemort hesitated momentarily. He couldn't pinpoint Kyle's location, and casting a random spell risked injuring his own followers.

Not that he cared about their welfare, of course, but having just been resurrected, he had countless plans to set in motion. He needed them, at least for now, to handle the tasks he deemed b...

Chapter 573: My Student

On the other side, Kyle, still wandering through the maze, had no idea what the audience might be thinking.

Once the hedges blocking his view vanished, his eyes locked onto the trophy glinting at the center of the flames.

Without hesitation, Kyle sprinted toward it.

A Sphinx crouched near the edge of the flames, its role to deter the Champions with riddles or resistance. Yet, as Kyle dashed past, the creature seemed to lose all interest in him, suddenly fascinated by a stone...
