Chapter 469: A Glimpse Forward
15 January 2001, Hogwarts
Sarah Shafiq ran from the Gryffindor boys chasing her. They hadn’t liked the fact that she’d gotten praised in Professor Flitwick’s class. When she’d come to Hogwarts, she never expected it to feel so lonely. She was actually glad to have been sorted into Hufflepuff, hoping to make some friends, but while they were all nice, Sarah didn’t exactly like her classmates all that much. They just didn’t...

Chapter 3: Heart of Stone
4 June 1991, London, England
As foreign, yet strangely familiar, memories invaded his mind, and his body felt even more drained and tired than it ever was in his life, everything slowly turned to blissful darkness.
When Dean’s woke up, he was in a small bedroom, notably not his own, yet it seemed familiar for some reason. The world itself was wrong, hazy. As he walked around, all the soreness in his body was gone. There w...

He hadn’t seen her this happy in months, maybe even years. He would do his best to keep it that way. He would make sure nothing ruined their night. Of course, that was when the screaming started, and Dean’s world turned upside down.
The drive to the restaurant was peaceful. Dean simply enjoyed his mother’s company. They rarely spent any time together. Nurses in Britain were notoriously ...

AN: Alright, this is the first chapter of my new story, called Arcane Tinker (not sure about the name, and if you don’t like it, I don’t mind changing it). It’s a Harry Potter SI fanfic, and I'm uploading the first three chapters today. Don’t worry, Enchanting Melodies still isn’t over, and there will be a new chapter tomorrow. I’m going to do a poll in a few days about what to do next, and this is to give you a taste of this story and to get your opinion on it.

Chapter 468: A Legacy Reborn
29 June 1995, Athens, Greece
Perseus Marinakis sat alone on the balcony, high atop the white-stoned spire of his father’s safehouse, watching as the first rays of dawn spilt over the distant hills and bathed the city of Athens in gold. On the other side, the sea stretched endlessly, dark blue waves shimmering into silver as the sun slowly climbed. The air was still cool, the city quiet, save for the distant cries of gulls and the gen...

Chapter 467: Fanning the Flames
29 June 1995, Hogwarts
Minerva McGonagall poured herself a glass of whiskey, finally glad that the school year was over. What an exhausting year it was. The attack on the Quidditch World Cup Final, the European School Tournament, the civil war between Lord Voldemort and the Lycans, and her needing to activate the wards to protect the students involved.
Everything had been one crisis after another, and she did her best trying t...

Chapter 466: Of Black Deeds
22 June 1995, Athens, Greece
Arcturus Black hadn’t wanted to be here, not really, in this safehouse in Greece. It was a nice sentiment on Harry’s part, a way to keep him safe from any reprisal from Dumbledore or Grindelwald. It was also a bit patronising to leave him with the non-combatant families while the boy and even his girlfriend stood there to fight. He was a war veteran for Merlin’s sake. Sure, he knew that he was far past...

22 June 1995, Athens, Greece
He knew exactly what this was: a statement, a proof of power. The portal flared slightly, obviously someone stepping through it. Harry conjured his scythe, ready to confront an attacker, until a familiar voice stopped him cold, “There’s no need to panic. I simply believe that it was time for us to have a little conversation.”
Harry stared at the man before him, who had a face mirrori...

Now, that would be an extremely awkward conversation with her family, one that she was definitely not looking forward to having. No, she would worry about that later. Today, she would celebrate.
Harry woke up with a hellish migraine, hearing yells and screams on the other side of the door. It took him a few minutes to gather his thoughts, as he remembered what happened to previous day. A part o...

Chapter 463: Verdant Morning
21 June 1995, Athens, Greece
Daphne Greengrass couldn’t help but feel nervous. No one could blame her. Her boyfriend was probably fighting the two Champions of Light and Dark by himself, and a part of her wanted to wait for him to come back to her, if only so that she could hex him for making her feel like a mess.
She had done her part and done it well. She survived the battle against Grindelwald’s forces, enough for her to a...

Yet, the boy’s eyes gleamed, ready in a fighting stance, “No Light. No prophecy. Just you and me. One final duel. Fitting, isn’t it?” He spread his arms, mockingly. “You created me. And today, you will die at the hands of your greatest mistake.”
Harry stared at the raging form of Albus Dumbledore, completely devoid of purpose and precision, and relished in the fact that he had unmade the...

Albus Dumbledore stared at Harry Potter, unable to comprehend just where everything had gone wrong. This wasn’t supposed to happen, and yet the undeniable truth lay in the gigantic golden tree glowing with such warmth and prosperity that he had no idea what to do or say. It was a living testament that he had lost, that all his sacrifices, all the horrors, that he’d ever done for the sake of his dream, of ...

And then, his body finally faded away, the last fragment of the Dark in existence. His soul moved on, and the energy within it was released. The greatest ritual in the history of humanity was unravelled, and it started to pulse. The world held its breath for a fraction of a second, and then everything turned white.
Harry Potter had planned everything to the last detail, and yet, he had to admi...

Cornelius Fudge watched with bated breath as the final Spanish champion was eliminated by Susan Bones. The girl was the last of Hogwarts’ competitors and was doing a pretty good job at handling herself using her weird rune magic. Cornelius was never an expert on these matters, choosing to concentrate on foreign policies and economic reforms rather than obscure forms of magic, but he didn’t doubt that it loo...

Harry Potter simply stood there, one hand gripping the haft of the scythe as if he had always been meant to arrive in this moment, at this exact place in time, blade already buried in the heart of prophecy. Grindelwald fell to his knees, his hands trembling as he touched the weapon. It was only then that Dumbledore realised that the Dark Lord’s injuries weren’t healing.
It took a few moments ...

The world stood still as both combatants stared at one another, each one waiting for the other to make a move. Albus knew, deep down, that it was alway...

It wasn’t hard. With their common enemy dead, Grindelwald and Dumbledore, as expected, turned towards one another, each one ready to attack, and that suited Harry just fine. After all, if his enemies were ready to do his job, then why would he stop them?
Albus Dumbledore felt the world clear up slightly, as he finally realized what had happened. It had been like a fog had just been lifted...

Hey everyone,
I meant to do this on Thursday but completely forgot, better late than never, right? I’ve been thinking lately that I don’t interact with you guys enough, so I figured a quick poll might help with that.
Basically, I wanted to ask if you’d be okay with me scaling down uploads from 4 chapters a week to 3, just for a short while—no more than two weeks. If I find the time or energy, I’ll try to sneak in an extra chapter to make up for it.

It was the first true idea he had since Dumbledore arrived, beyond fighting for as long as possible while hoping for the best. Now, things were different. Harry Potter had a plan, and well, that rarely tended to bode well for his enemies.
Harry watched as the spiral of ordered destruction flew towards him, and despite the stakes of his fight, despite the danger the attack posed, he had to admit t...

Harry’s previous scythe appeared back in his hand, but in the place of his blade was a swirling edge of fractal light, as if reality itself had been bent, layered, and folded into a weapon. He raised his weapon against Grindelwald and spoke up, his voice echoing over what remained of the battlefield, “You’re not the only one who can break the rules of the game, Grindelwald.”

As if they were waiting for his words, a familiar man walked out of the shadows, Vlad.

Similarly, Alexander Marinakis appeared in a burst of Lightning, holding a trident in his hand, ready to attack as well. Surprisingly, Grindelwald grinned, “This is going to be fun!”

Daphne Greengrass didn’t think that war would be like this. To be perfectly honest, she fully expected Harry to immediately deny her involvement in the war, and that she’d pressure him into joining. She never expected that he’d just go along with it, even if it was obvious that it was through great reluctance. He hated it with a passion, and she could see the guilt on his face during their time together b...

Even without the Elder Wand, the former headmaster was the superior mage in every single way.
The plan was relatively simple. He would obscure the location of the ritual as ...
