Chapter 295: Dancing Wyrm

29 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry stayed silent in his compartment as he felt the metallic Dragon spread its wings and fly away. He was still amazed by the way McGonagall animated and charmed the contraption, but he was a bit too distracted to care. He was just too lost in thought, replaying things in his mind.

He has been doing that a lot lately. Hell, he wasn’t even reading a book when he was alone. He was just staring into th...

Chapter 294: Hour of the Wolf

25 November 1994, Wolf’s Den, Republic of Ireland

Remus watched as the trainees practiced their transformations while retraining the urge to cheer and cry in vindication. It took thousands of years of suffering, centuries of discrimination and persecution, decades of planning on his part, of suffering in the indignity, but Lycanthropy was finally gone in the British Isles. Hell, it had even mostly disappeared from Europe entirely, a...

Chapter 293: Of Choices Made

23 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry sipped on his goblet, doing his best not to cringe at the bitterness of the juice… After all, it wouldn’t do to insult the hosting school publicly. It came as a bit of a surprise, but he grew to like this school... Its library was sparce, to say the least, the spells were publicized, and he heavily believed that any sensitive tomes were hidden from the public… However, there was something nice ...

Chapter 292: Verdant Dilemma

23 November 1994, Rome, Italy

“I have reason to believe that Lily Evans is working with Albus Dumbledore. I think that they’re planning to kill Harry and Neville…”

Daphne would have told her to get lost if it wasn’t for the damning moving picture in her hand, which had her mentor sitting right in front of the man who had almost killed her son and sipping tea of all things.

The first question she ...

Chapter 291: Shades of Crimson

23 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry Potter was on a mission… He needed to find out who the girl who was sacrificed in the ritual was, and he only had an entire country to search to find out who it was. Lily had told him that she had already done it and had found nothing. It was perfectly possible for the girl to not have been Italian, that Dumbledore had found someone in another country, maybe even not in Europe, to sacrifice for h...

Chapter 290: Blood Moon

23 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Daphne Greengrass knelt as she cut her own palm with a knife. The moment the blade touched her blood, the previously hidden runes started glowing bright red.

She heard her mentor encourage her, “Alright, that was very nice… You have given a sliver of your lifeforce into the blade to store. Now, carefully use it to power the spell. Blood magic is not as technical as wand magic and relies a lot more on ...

Chapter 289: Emancipating Darkness

23 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Arcturus Black sat at his office as his new assistant, Gemma Farley, gave him the reports of his acquisition of his new properties in Italy, mainly in Rome, that his ward had won from the Black Widow.

Honestly, he hadn’t seen this coming… He hadn’t even known the peculiarities of the situation and was just asked by the boy to put over half a million Galleons on the faint chance that Hogwa...

Chapter 288: Whatever It Takes

22 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry wanted to bash his own face in as he heard Diggory whining for what must have been the hundredth time, “I can’t believe you tricked us into winning…”

Harry didn’t even bother dignifying this with an answer and thankfully Chang of all people came to his defence, “Look, Cedric, I don’t know why you’re so hung up about this… We won, didn’t we?”

“Yes, but even when h...

22 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Fleur Delacour sat as Arthur paced around, complaining, “It’s not fair… It was obviously him.”

Aurelie Dupont, her best friend, asked brightly, “Who?”

The Veela suppressed the urge to giggle; Aurelie always liked to mess with people with obvious questions, and Arthur was getting pretty annoying with his constant rants. As expected, the boy’s face turned a very funny shade of red, �...

(Enchanting Melodies) Chapter 286: Glowing Petals

Chapter 286: Glowing Petals

22 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Albus Dumbledore sat in the room awarded to him by the Accademia Arcana Italia… Like the rest of the school, it was as spartan as it was empty. There weren’t any luxuries or any enchanted amenities. As unusual as this was, Albus actually preferred this. The fact that there weren’t many objects in the room meant that there were fewer opportunities to sneak in any curses to hit him. Normally, he would e...

21 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry grinned at the sight of the uproar that was the end of the second task. The judges looked absolutely confused about what had happened, and so were the rest of the spectators. The chaos was just so beautiful…

Before the situation with the Zabini Matriarch, he had no plans to interfere in any way in the task, but he was glad he did, if only to see other peoples’ reactions. He saw Daphne ph...

21 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Fleur expected this to be her last thought… She expected the world to turn dark… However, she was baffled when the world turned a blinding white instead. What the fuck had just happened?

Her answer came quickly enough as the Griffin froze just inches away from her. What was peculiar was the fact that its eyes were glowing white. She struggled to get up, but she managed to do it quic...

Chapter 283: The Cursed Reaper

21 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry looked at his watch and winced. He had disappeared for almost half an hour. He needed to get back to the tournament or his absence would be noticed, if it hadn’t been already. He couldn’t help but feel like things had gotten a lot more complicated with this.

The last Potter used his cloak to sneak past the second task’s security. He slowly walked to the stands, where the rest o...

Chapter 282: Crimson Devil

21 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry had left the cheering crowd the moment the task started. It was a shame since he would have loved to see what was going to happen, especially considering the sandstorm that the Spanish Champions had spun up. His prediction was that half of the teams would go directly at the Hogwarts delegation, while the others, the smarter ones, really, would go after the beasts and the keys they hold, since taking th...

Chapter 281: Beneath the Hound

21 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Fleur Delacour was anxiously waiting in the Beauxbatons preparation room, readying herself for the second task of the European School Tournament. After her quick thinking and performance in the previous task, she was a shoe in for this one. She didn’t even get a choice in the matter. To be fair, Madame Maxime had faced a lot of criticism considering how the first task was concluded. The fact that the B...

Chapter 280: Stacking the Odds

20 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry smirked as he sent another round of stinging hexes at his three victims, or maybe it would have been better to call them his students, while they were defending against four of the beasts that he had animated. He found that stinging hexes and curses were painful enough to motivate them to not get hit, without really injuring any of them. It did help that he had jailbroken the spells to be able to m...

(Enchanting Melodies) Chapter 279: Express Training

Chapter 279: Train Express

19 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Cedric Diggory fancied himself one of the best students in Hogwarts. To be perfectly fair, he was right in that aspect. He held the highest grade in his year, and he hadn’t taken any easy classes. He was so confident that he was the best that he forgot what it was like to be utterly outclassed by someone, something that he was currently learning the hard way.

He had been dubious when he was told by M...

Chapter 278: The Dropping Shoe

17 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on as he returned to the metallic dragon, where he and the rest of the Hogwarts delegation were staying. And he was having such a nice day and everything. Unfortunately, it seemed like fate itself didn’t want him to relax even for a bit. He wasn’t even really being lazy; he’d just wanted a day off before investigating whatever Dumbledore was planning...

Chapter 277: Dark Spiders

17 November 1994, Rome, Italy

A woman melted out of the shadows. To say she was beautiful would have been an understatement. However, what truly captivated Harry was how familiar she looked. It was almost eery, “Hello, Harry Potter. My name is Isabella Zabini and I wished to talk to you about my son.”

Well, that was certainly surprising. For all the years Harry had known him, Blaise rarely ever mentioned his mother. He ...

Chapter 276: River Stroll

17 November 1994, Rome, Italy

Harry Potter had a content smile on his face as he strolled through Rome, the late afternoon sun casting warm, golden hues over the cobblestone streets. He walked past ancient buildings cloaked in ivy; each stone etched with the silent narratives of history. The air carried the enticing aromas of freshly baked bread and rich espresso, intermingling with the gentle fragrance of blooming orange trees. The vibra...

Chapter 275: Pearly Gladiator

14 November 1994, Italy

Daphne Greengrass was not particularly happy to be in Rome. The Italian Arcane Academy was beautiful in its own militarized way, but it wasn’t something that she particularly liked. She could understand why Blaise didn’t regret coming to Hogwarts. He definitely wouldn’t have been comfortable in this place. He was more of laid-back person, who appreciated art and subtlety, not the straightforward warriors ...

(Enchanting Melodies) Chapter 274: Ave Imperator

Chapter 274: Ave Imperator

14 November 1994, Beauxbatons, France

Cedric Diggory watched as the luxurious Beauxbatons palace slowly became nothing more than a small dot, as the Hogwarts Express, turned dragon, rose higher into the sky. He would miss this place, if only because of the elective classes, which he enjoyed immensely.

To be perfectly honest, Beauxbatons had shown him everything that was lacking when it came to Hogwarts, and the various criticisms a...

Chapter 273: Bright Vines

11 November 1994, Beauxbatons, France

Albus Dumbledore sat in the office that Madame Maxime had provided him with, and wished that she would have allowed him to take it with him… It was far more luxurious than he expected the headmistress to give him, especially considering his scandal when he was still Hogwarts’ headmaster. The half-giantess did not like the idea of someone hurting students on school grounds, and he felt her respect ...

Chapter 272: Thorny Clouds

11 November 1994, Beauxbatons, France

Harry ate his breakfast with dozens of thoughts swirling in his head. The confrontation with Dumbledore still weighed on his mind. Even if it was technically in a mental plane, it was still the first time Harry had directly fought Dumbledore, and he sort of understood why people tended to be terrified of what the man could do.

Intellectually, he knew that the Archmage of Light was very powerful...

Chapter 271: Deadly Light

8 November 1994, Beauxbatons, France

And as if they were waiting for his command, the spears of light surged towards Harry at blinding speeds…

Out pure instinct, Harry activated an experimental spell as he watched the spears of light fall towards him, and the world froze. Harry’s body was moving in slow motion… Hell, everything was moving in slow motion…

Time magic.

Harry had barely started to even maste...

(Enchanting Melodies) Chapter 270: Of Bright Delights

AN: I edited a bit on the previous chapter. You might want to reread the last few paragraphs in the end, but long story short, Dumbledore sneakily took them from the terrace into some kind of subspace without Harry being able to sense it, when they were alone.

Chapter 270: Of Bright Delights

Harry turned, feeling some trepidation from the familiar voice. He dearly hoped that he was wrong, ...
