After Bellatrix had departed that morning, it had not been more than a few hours before Antonio received a letter from her.
The letter stated that she had spoken to her grandfather, and that the Lord of House Black was willing to meet him.
Although she had not mentioned whether Arcturus Black would offer his support or not or what his reaction had been when Bellatrix had breached the topic, the fact that the old man was willing to meet at all was a promising sign. It clearly meant...

Antonio had been sleeping soundly in his room, surrounded by his magical protective shield, when a sudden loud noise jolted him awake. It was the sound of a palm banging against his wooden door.
“Olario?” came the shrill voice of a witch. “Olario! Are you in there? Open the damn door, otherwise I will blast it open!”
Antonio did not need even a moment to recognize the voice. It was Bellatrix Black. And he could easily guess why she was here.
“Coming!” he shouted,...

The air thickened with tension as Voldemort’s gathered servants waited in anticipation for the name of the person, no, the pure blood witch or wizard who would be killed to set an example.
It was not the first time a pure blood had been targeted in their attacks. It had happened before. But this time was different.
This was to be a major killing, a targeted strike for a very specific purpose. Everyone could sense, by the way the Dark Lord had been preparing for it, that it would...

While Antonio was sleeping soundly in his room, someone else was very much awake. And not only awake. He was livid. Furious.
In an isolated mansion somewhere in Wizarding Britain, a large hall stood cloaked in darkness despite the dawn approaching close, with the sun just on the horizon.
A small crowd of about twenty five to thirty witches and wizards had gathered there, their faces illuminated dimly only by the pale yellow glow of a few torches strapped to the walls.
At the...

By the time Antonio reached his home, it was almost dawn.
His inn still was in ruins, and he would either have to pour considerable effort into fixing it magically or hire magical architects to reconstruct the building from scratch. More importantly, he would need to place a powerful protective ward around his new home. Probably, he would think of the entire construction from the scratch.
He was still undecided on the matt...

Alastor remained silent at the sudden question Antonio had posed. He had no words to respond.
It was true that Antonio had been the one attacked and would most likely have been killed had he not been so powerful. And like always, the aurors would have reached late at the crime of site and would have performed the last rites of Antonio.
But two of his attackers were dead, and the rest had fled. They did not have the Death Eaters to prosecute but by the same twisted logic, no action...

“Is that all, Lord Olario?” Amelia asked.
“Yes,” Antonio replied, to which Amelia gave a curt nod.
“Recorded by Amelia Bones, junior Auror, DMLE,” she muttered as the Dicta Quill came to a stop.
The whole affair of recording his statement had rather been a simplistic affair. There had nothing been complex about it.
After Antonio had narrated the entire incident, Amelia had asked a few technical questions, just routine questions related to her investigation ...

When the duo reappeared, Alastor and Antonio were standing just outside the Ministry building.
This was the closest anyone could apparate to the Ministry. Wards prevented anyone from coming close.
In times like these, when the Wizarding Britain was riddled with violent attacks, security at the Ministry was heavily reinforced, and no carelessness was tolerated. Any kind of breach or attempt to undermine the security of ministry was met out with a very heavy hand.
Alastor led ...

The entire street had fallen silent as soon as the Death Eaters apparated away. The sound of the severed hand striking the ground was the last sound that had echoed in the street.
The situation was tense, and the atmosphere had grown heavy.
Everyone had locked themselves inside their shops and houses and despite things having come to a closure, no one dared to step out.
The most courageous among them showed only enough bravery to peek out from their windows or some other sma...

It had not been long since Aurora had left the inn. Antonio had promised her his help and had assured her he would soon visit her home to meet Lord Raphel Sinistra. There, he would listen to her grandfather and formulate what could be done to alleviate their problem.

The Olario inn and the Olario house were one single building with the inn forming the front section of the house. The house had a front gate on the other side of the street. A small corridor, also, c...

“Aurora,” Antonio said softly. “I think it is getting too cold in here.”
“I must warm up the place,” he said, and a spell left his wand, striking the walls of the inn. A faint magical ripple spread from the point of impact, and a shimmering transparent dome-like thing expanded, covering the entire inn before disappearing.
“What is it?” Aurora questioned with intrigued eyes.

While Bellatrix was in her discussion with Arcturus, events were unfolding exactly as Arcturus had predicted. Antonio’s inn today was a bit more crowded than usual, and the customers were being exceptionally nice to him. He could guess the reason but he was bewildered by how fast news travelled in Wizarding Britain.
As he returned after serving another drink to one of his customers who had spent five minutes engaging in small talk, he picked up a letter that had just been delivered. T...

Bellatrix took several deep breaths and a few moments to calm her raging nerves and regain her composure, while Arcturus waited patiently.
“What do you intend by telling me all this?” Bellatrix questioned with narrowed eyes. She knew if the Black Lord was sharing such information, he must have something specific in mind.
“Lord Olario,” Arcturus mumbled, and Bellatrix had an inkling of where this was going. “What kind of man is he?”
“I do not really know him,”...

Bellatrix felt a heavy pressure weighing on her shoulders as she walked through the corridor of Grimmauld Place on the top floor of the house.
Her grandfather, Lord of the Black family, Arcturus Black, had summoned her to his study, and this only raised the anxiety brewing within her heart.
As far as she could remember, Arcturus Black had been slowly withdrawing from family affairs, participating only in important decisions concerning the overall welfare of the Black family.

Bellatrix woke up with a slight headache, rubbing her eyes.
After departing from the gathering, she had indulged in a few drinks, and the throbbing in her head was the result of her hangover. Even so, she forced herself to get out of bed and prepare for the day.
By the time Bellatrix descended the stairs into the dining hall of Grimmauld Place, her family was already seated around the dining table.
As she approached, she sensed anoth...

It was approximately ten minutes later when another commotion arose on the lawn. The reason. Narcissa Black was returning with a man.
The man appeared old, in his late sixties by Muggle standards, though in reality, he was much older. He possessed dark black hair and equally dark eyes. The man stood over six feet tall, and despite his advanced age, his presence loomed around him.
A single glance at the man was enough to discern that he was a man of stature, a man of strength, a ma...

The gathering on the lawn remained in a shocked state even after Antonio had departed. The power, the skill level he had displayed, had left everyone in a state of awe.
One spell. It had taken one spell from Antonio Olario to reduce a fine wizard like Rodolphus to that state. The Lestrange heir who was in the line to inherit the Lestrange Lordship, the wizard who had been practicing Lestrange family magic from a very young age had not even been able to stand in front of Antonio Olario.<...

The old lady guided Jon inside the mansion, with Slyvia and Jelerion following close behind. Jon had to admit that the bald Good Master, at least, had good aesthetics. The decorations in the mansion were lavish and denoted the wealth the man had accumulated in his lifetime. He really had lived as a ruler of the city. All of it belonged to Jon now.
"What is your name?" Jon asked the old lady.
"Etinanui, My Lord," replied the old lady.

The mini death eater group had formed a semicircle as they stood chatting on the lawn. The two Black sisters, Andromeda and Narcissa had taken the responsibility to see off the guests, while Bellatrix was simply standing with Antonio and the rest of the group.
Almost half of the guests had departed when Rodolphus came staggering. His arrival did not garner much attention, but when he arrived and stood in front of the small group, specifically facing Antonio, the focus shifted to him.

After dismissing the brothel owners and all the women and girls working in the brothels, Jon turned his attention toward the slave maid who had sparked the rebellion by killing the guard and then one of the Good Masters.
Though Jon's gaze was calm with a neutral expression on his face, the maid subconsciously lowered her head. The girl seemed to be around 16 years of age.
She had dark black eyes and dark hair. Her skin tone was typical of an Essosi. She was a beauty in her own rig...

"In reality, the question that how is the entry of the muggle born affecting our society does not even exist. It is a falsely propped question with no base."

It took Jon more than a few hours to completely take over the city.
With Jon beheading Kraznys mo Nakloz, a surge of revolution spread throughout Astapor. The majority of the slaves joined Jon.

Jon and Slyvia, in a carriage, travelled a few miles from the town of Astapor. Arriving at a secluded place, they stopped their carriages.
Jon got out and retrieved two chests of gold from his storage bracelet, placing one in each carriage. After loading the coins, Jon and Slyvia turned back and began their journey to Astapor.
By the time they entered the city, it was almost noon. They arrived at Kraznys mo Nakloz’s mansion and were guided to a nearby plaza by one of the slaves....

“Miss Black,” Aurora nearly stammered as Bellatrix closed the distance and arrived to stand beside the two of them.
Antonio was slightly surprised and mostly intrigued by Aurora’s reaction. She was not frightened, per se, but the future astronomy professor of Hogwarts was clearly uneasy and nervous in Bellatrix’s presence. It was like Bellatrix was a large tower looming over Auroa Sinistra.

Bellatrix had departed from Antonio’s inn shortly that evening.
The few minutes they had spent in the inn had been filled with casual conversation. Mostly about magic and other harmless topics.
Antonio had made sure to steer away the topics of discussion from anything sensitive. He did not want to appear too intrusive by asking too much questions. Everything need to be worked up slowly.
He was not ready to show all his cards just yet. Before he made any moves, before he to...

"I will return in three days with the gold. Have the Unsullied prepared by then," Jon said, getting up from his seat to leave.

Bellatrix remained frozen in disbelief. The disbelief was not because she had lost, but because of the ease she had been defeated.
It had been like a walk in the park for Antonio to defeat her. He had not even gone all out against her. He had been holding back. He had not displayed his full abilities.
And the moment he had decided to ramp up his offense, she had not lasted even a minute.
“Shocked, are we?” Antonio asked with a grin as he stepped closer.

The first few minutes of the duel were nothing more than a flurry of exchange of spells between the two genius wizard and witch.
Most of these were simple jinxes, hexes and disarmament charms and they were nothing truly dangerous.
During this time, Antonio maintained a defensive stance. Only a few attacking spells left his wand. He either countered the incoming spells or dodged them or swatted them away.
To the eyes of an average wizard or witch, it may have seemed that Bell...
