HP: Bloodraven Chapter 98 - The Tournament Begins (II)

The guests from the three schools were soon led to the Great Hall, which had been transformed into a stunning display of warmth and hospitality.

Three additional long tables, placed alongside the usual four, had been arranged for the visiting schools. Despite the added seating, the Great Hall did not feel crowded—thanks to the use of impressive space-expanding magic, it had been enlarged to comfortably accommodate everyone.

The Beauxbatons students, in their elegant blue unifo...

HP: Bloodraven Chapter 97 - The Tournament Begins (I)

The week passed without much fanfare, though the castle buzzed with activity as preparations for the interschool Quidditch tournament continued.

Maverick, meanwhile, carried on with his lessons as usual, teaching alchemy to the first years and muggle science to the sixth years.

Outside of his teaching duties, he was preoccupied with the tournament organizing committee, working tirelessly to ensure every detail was perfect for the arrival of the visiting schools. After all, this ...

The events of the Halloween Feast had left Maverick with a renewed sense of determination. The chaos had been a wake-up call, and he decided there would be no more waiting. It was time to push forward and achieve the breakthrough to the rank of Arch-Magus.

By September, just before the start of the school year, he had accumulated over 2,500 points, and his magical energy was nearing 8,000 units.

Now, two months later, when his points had climbed to over 3,100, giving him an add...

"Hermione!"

"Hermione, where are you?"

Two young wizards in Gryffindor uniforms sprinted through the dimly lit corridors, their faces showing a mix of worry and fear. Their hurried footsteps echoed against the stone walls as they exchanged anxious glances, neither daring to slow down or speak.

Boom!

Crash!

Boom!

They froze mid-step, the tremors and thunderous impacts ahead causing their stomachs to churn. The vibrations came from the direction they we...

Swish. Swish. Swish.

Maverick flew through the castle corridors, zigzagging with desperate urgency. His focus was sharp, locked on the girls' bathroom where the supposed troll had just entered.

His Magical-Sense picked up the scene unfolding inside—a little girl, Hermione, entirely unaware of the danger closing in on her.

His mind raced. Harry and Ron were supposed to be here to play the heroes in this incident, but his Magical-Sense didn’t detect their presence anywh...

Hermione Granger had not been having a very good day. In fact, it was fair to say she hadn’t been having a good time since she first boarded the train to the magical school of Hogwarts.

When she was told she was a witch—a human born with magic—Hermione had imagined an incredible new life awaiting her. As someone who always aspired to excel in everything she did, she had set her sights on becoming the best witch Hogwarts had ever seen.

But reality had been far less kind. ...

The Great Hall was a sight to behold, decorated for the Halloween feast with an eerie yet exciting charm. Hundreds of floating pumpkins drifted overhead, their carved faces glowing softly with candlelight. Bats flapped their wings as they swooped through the air, while the enchanted ceiling reflected the dark, cloudy sky outside.

The long tables were filled with golden plates stacked high with food—roast meats, buttery potatoes, thick slices of pumpkin pie, and jugs of warm, spiced c...

HP: Bloodraven Chapter 91 - The Dawn of a New Era

For centuries, the wizarding world had remained unchanged, its traditions set in stone, its ways of life moving at a pace that would have seemed unbearably slow even to the most patient of magical beings. While the Muggle world raced ahead—wires crisscrossing cities, machines shrinking to the size of a pocket watch, and news traveling faster than a broomstick—the world of magic remained stubbornly stuck in its old ways.

Magicals relied on newspapers to learn about the world beyond ...

The sun had just slipped below the horizon, leaving the sky painted with the soft glow of fading light. Wisps of golden clouds stretched lazily overhead, while below, New York City stirred to life. Streetlights flickered on, the windows of towering buildings shimmered like distant stars, and the steady hum of traffic filled the air as the city embraced the arrival of night.

Just then, a sleek black Mercedes rolled to a gentle stop in front of a towering building overlooking Central Par...

HP: Bloodraven Chapter 89 - Purity in Peril (III)

The Forbidden Forest was a vast, ancient realm where towering trees stretched endlessly into the night sky. It was home to creatures of every kind—beings of darkness, light, and myth. It was a place of undeniable danger, but also of opportunities for those who knew where to look.

And deep within this vast, eerie forest, amidst the unsettling quietness broken only by the rustling of leaves and the occasional hoot of owls or distant howl of wolves, a shadowy figure could be seen kneel...

"Kill it. And save the rest of the blood for later."

Voldemort’s cold, dispassionate command sealed the creature’s fate. The unicorn lay sprawled on the forest floor, its silver blood gleaming in the moonlight, its breath shallow but still there.

Maverick had watched in silence until now. But this was enough. He exhaled slowly, positioning himself above Quirrell, his voice slipping into the deep, eerie resonance of the Bloodraven.

"Leave..."

The word echoed thr...

After the lively feast, students and teachers scattered to their respective spaces, chatting about the coming days with excitement.

Back in his office, Maverick first loosened his robe and, with a casual flick of his wand, sent it floating to the hanger, making himself more comfortable. He then strolled to the window, gazing out over the darkened grounds toward the Forbidden Forest. A quick glance at his watch made him nod to himself, as if confirming something only he understood.

HP: Bloodraven Chapter 86 - The Best of Hogwarts

After escorting the Weasley twins back to their common room, Maverick headed straight to his office without any detours. Settling into the comfort of his chair, his first order of business was to examine the map for any extraordinary characteristics. But within moments, his anticipation turned to disappointment.

The map had only one feature: a basic-grade, radar-like function that worked solely within the confines of Hogwarts. He had hoped for something more, like a mini-map, but it s...

Two days passed, and the trials to select the twenty-eight players for next week’s mock games had ended smoothly.

Apart from a small incident involving Harry Potter, nothing alarming occurred, and by the end, both students and teachers seemed pleased with the results.

But there were a few notable names selected by Coach Steven that drew mixed reactions from both students and teachers. Among them were second-years Fred and George Weasley, as well as Cedric Diggory—the pretty ...

Whoosh!

A small figure sliced through the air like an arrow, shooting straight up through the seventeenth obstacle before making a sharp right turn without much change in speed.

His grip was tight on the broom handle, his body leaning forward, and his eyes focused like an eagle locking onto the next target. The eighteenth hoop was just ahead, and he leaned forward even more before accelerating toward it.

His mind was so fixed on the task that not even the roar of the crow...

"Mr. Flint, I’m surprised you’ve chosen to go first... are you ready?" Maverick asked, raising an eyebrow as the Slytherin Quidditch team captain stepped forward.

The boy nodded confidently. "The position of the school team’s Chaser will be mine, Professor. I’ll show everyone why we’ve won the last consecutive school cups,"

Maverick chuckled softly. He didn’t mind the boldness—if anything, he appreciated the confidence. Starting the trial with a demonstration fr...

Time gradually moved on, and Maverick found himself settling comfortably into his role as a professor.

Teaching the sixth years the major aspects of science had been more enjoyable than he expected, especially watching the teenagers become mesmerized by an entirely new world that had been right beside them all along.

At the same time, the alchemy classes focused more on memorization, with the initial lessons centered on runes. Yet, despite the subject's early dull phase, the stu...

Alchemy classroom.

Standing amidst the sea of quiet yet overly enthusiastic students, Maverick smiled faintly and began explaining the third step in basic alchemy. “We now move on to the final part of today’s lesson, enchanting.”

The students exchanged glances nodding excitedly to one another. It was common knowledge that alchemy required years of practice and dedication to produce even the simplest functional item. Yet here they were, about to complete their own projects...

The alchemy classroom buzzed with the quiet murmur of students and the steady sound of activity. Most of the class was hunched over their desks, faces set in deep concentration, while others whispered to their neighbors, discussing the work they were about to start.

In their hands, each one held a peculiar object—something between a spatula and a quill, no longer than a hand, sleek and black in color, with one end pointed to a sharp tip, etched with intricate patterns that seemed to ...

The calm, sharp voice sliced through the silence, causing Ron to flinch and sending a shiver down his spine.

He didn’t need to turn around to know who had spoken. He had walked right into another one of the professor’s traps.

Hundreds of eyes were on him—some curious, others amused—but most flicked between him and the figure behind him, filled with pity. The weight of their stares made his stomach drop, and heat rushed to his face in embarrassment...

The word "galaxy" was something the young witches and wizards at Hogwarts rarely came across. Even in their Astronomy lessons, the focus was on the movements of nearby planets, the phases of the moon, and the magical influence of the stars.

Planets, stars, and even constellations with their mythological names were studied more for their links to magical rituals, prophecy, or historical significance than for any real understanding of scientific ideas like distance or size.

So, wh...

The group of students and teachers watched in amazement as the moon came closer, its silvery-grey surface showing countless craters and jagged edges, with shadows becoming clearer and more detailed.

Excited murmurs filled the air but then faded when their perspective stopped, and the class became completely captivated by the sight before them.

Inside one of the classrooms at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, something quite extraordinary was happening.

To an omniscient observer, the classroom would seem completely empty of desks and chairs, leaving only an open space where students stood scattered. Their heads turned in every direction—left, right, up toward the ceiling, and even down at the floor—as though they were seeing something entirely different from the reality in front of them.
