Chapter 120: Check
16 March 1993, Hogwarts
Tom Riddle looked like he was in his element, he was calm, collected, had a small smirk on his face that indicated that he knew something that Harry didn’t, that the end of the game was already preordained.
Harry finished observing his opponent and asked, “Is she dead?”
He was talking about the lying body of Hermione Granger, who didn’t look like it was breathing at all, yet Harry could tell that she h...

Chapter 119: The Chamber of Secrets
16 March 1993, Hogwarts
Honestly, it took far too long to reach the end of the tunnel. It wasn’t as scary as it looked; it was more like rushing down an endless, slimy, dark slide. Harry could see more tunnels branching off in all directions in a giant Labyrinth of tunnels, but none as large as the one he was sliding down in, which twisted and turned, sloping steeply downward, for what felt like miles.
When he finally sa...

Chapter 377: Scarlet Closure
15 June 2018, Sayre Manor, New York City
(Wanda Maximoff POV)
Wanda Maximoff woke up next to her fiancé, Jean Grey, like she did every day. She got to her kitchen and saw her usual cup of coffee ready for her, courtesy of her mother’s house elf. Well, her house elf now. Even three years after Jasmine’s death, she still had some trouble considering what her mother had left her as her own.
She knew that Jasmine was rich ...

Chapter 118: Into the Abyss
16 March 1993, Hogwarts
As Harry pointed his wand at the disarmed Neville Longbottom, he couldn’t help but think that what he was going to do would have consequences, ones that he maybe wouldn’t have foreseen. He was going to reveal himself, in a way that he hadn’t expected before. But every time he remembered the still form of his friend in the infirmary, he just didn’t regret his actions.
Tom Riddle had gone too far, and...

Chapter 117: Scarlet Precision
16 March 1993, Hogwarts
The petrification of Daphne Greengrass changed things. Things really started to look bleak for the boy who lived, especially with the Slytherins looking nervous for the first time since the attacks started. The heat and suspicion on the Longbottom scion had skyrocketed, because a member of the house of Snakes was attacked. Neville’s distaste for the house was very well known, and since he technically had mot...

Chapter 116: Of Earths and Stars
15 March 1993, Hogwarts
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was veiled in an unsettling fog, a reflection of the shrouded mystery that had consumed the minds of the residents of the castle, but also Harry Potter. Unlike the rest of the student body and the staff, the resurgence of the Heir of Slytherin was something that he had expected. However, the change in patterns was something that he didn't see coming. It had baffled ...

Chapter 115: The Dance of Lions
7 March 1993, Hogwarts
The last few months were the worst ones Neville Longbottom ever experienced ever since he arrived at Hogwarts. It wasn’t just the fact that his standing in the school was ruined, it was mainly because everyone kept looking at him with suspicion and sometimes even fear in their eyes, ever since he was revealed as a Parselmouth. He was the main suspect, and now that the attacks started once more, just a month ...

Unknown Time, Unknown Space
I am looking at the immense kaleidoscope of realities in front of me while fully understanding what I am seeing for the first time. My mind comprehends what happened. The past, present, future, all coalescing into a single moment, like a video tape that I can rewind and see.
My perception expanded, embracing the boundless tapestry of existence that stretched infinitely in all directions. It's a unique sensati...

Harry had been ready to go down the stairs, to the common room, like every Sunday morning,
I had been almost a month since his meeting in Hogsmeade and finally, everything went through. The paperwork needed to get Harry certified legally as an investor in the Firebolt took a couple of weeks to process, and it took an additional week for Terrence Smythe to build the seven brooms.

Harry snorted, “We both know that’s not true, is it? Racing brooms are a lot faster and very maneuverable. The French and the Italians have that market cornered and I don’t think that anything you can d...

18 January 1993, Hogwarts
The days following Daphne’s decision to involve herself fully in Harry’s life were awkward. After the girl’s proclamation, he just told her to give him some time to put things together and that he would share what he could from her.
The issue was that the Potter scion was hesitant when it came to how much he wanted to share. Harry’s personal magical training could technically be classified as f...

It was then that I realized that there was literally nothing I could do against him. This was a consciousness that was powered with energy, a living form of a concept. You can’t kill an idea, that’s the truth.
Suddenly, my Death Perception gave me a path to follow. It was so simple. Why didn’t I think of it? With renewed purpose, I grabbed a small disk and ran towards m...

At their answer, Harry couldn’t help but burst into laughter. By the powers, these idiots want Harry t...

The Court of Slytherin was one of the few mysteries of the school that Harry didn’t fully know about. Oh, he knew about the members and the politics, but the history of that particular group was absent from any book in the castle. The Potter scion was better off reading diaries that students threw away in the Room of Hidden Things, to find any information on how the Court was created.

Even if he had all the power in the world, one of the things that the Potter scion feared the most was dying alone. Ever since he retu...

With purposeful strides, Severus Snape traversed the empty corridors of Hogwarts. A foreboding aura surrounded him, casting a sense of terror akin to a haunting specter. His black robe fluttered like a bat emerging from the depths of a tormented abyss, while his jaw remained tightly clenched. Known for his consistently unpleasant demeanor, the Potion Master rarely displayed a pleasant mood, as numerou...

Despite what the high officials of the Ministry of the Magic chose to believe in their paranoid minds, Yule celebration rituals were in general very tame. It was well-known that the night of the Wint...

Instead, was a tastefully decorated manors with three floors and three wings.

But thing was that it was easy to get bored if you stayed too long in a single place, and while the castle was lovely, a change of atmosphere was welcome.

It took two days of intense days of deals and explanations for Dumbledore to make the entire thing go away.
