(Enchanting Melodies) Chapter 414: Herbal Growth

Chapter 414: Herbal Growth

20 May 1995, Hogwarts, Scotland

Before she could think on it further, a glowing white dove flew towards her and spoke in Harry’s voice, “I found where the stone is. Come to the common room. We’re leaving tonight.” How about that, it looked like the rest of the day was going to be exciting after all.

It was after curfew that Daphne snuck down from her dormitory. She had been curious all day about where Harry found t...

Chapter 413: Friendly Gems

20 May 1995, Hogwarts, Scotland

Daphne Greengrass always knew that Harry was different. He’d been different ever since their first ride on the Hogwarts Express, and he was still different now. When she imagined Dumbledore or Voldemort as students in Hogwarts, she assumed that they were born more powerful than their professors and that they could do impossible things with just their raw power. A part of her hoped that they’d been norm...

The moment Harry looked at it, he felt drawn to it. He spoke up in a reverent tone, “I think that this is the World Serpent’s fang, and it’s the reason why I decided to come here. After all, if it works like I think it does, then I think that it might be the final piece of the puzzle I need.”

Harry was relatively optimistic when he visited the Chamber. For over a year, it had n...

Never again. That was what Harry was fighting for. That was why he was willing to fight Dumbledore and Grindelwald. It was why he had to win. Still, sombre atmosphere aside, Harry was glad to be back, even if he had a lot to do, and a lot to prepare.

Harry sat on one of the couches in the Slytherin common room, with Daphne leaning on his shoulder. It would have been a relaxing atmosphere if i...

Harry snorted in amusement and chuckled, “Oh, you have no idea. Let’s just say that the last few were eventful.” When the boy started telling him about what happened, Arcturus realized that this was probably the understatement of the century.

Harry smiled faintly as the Hogwarts Express slowed down. He watched as the Forbidden Forest passed by him, seeing the odd magical creature runn...

Arcturus Black opened his eyes and winced at the brightness of his surroundings. The blinding light was already giving him a headache, which made it hard to think. He motioned to yell at Kreacher to close the bloody drapes, only to release a faint croaking sound. His throat burned slightly as if he hadn’t spoken in a while, and when he tried to use his arms to shield himself from the sun, they felt as...

He would find that path and walk it, if only for the sake of everyone who suffered for thousands of years and who died to forge this. With barely a gesture, Harry opened a portal and walked forward. He had one last stop to make before going home after all. After all, there was still one piece of the puzzle that was missing.

Harry closed the portal behind him, his gaze meeting the familiar form of ...

AN: Sorry, made a last-minute edit and forgot that I scheduled an upload.

Yeah, maybe Harry was a little irritable. Perhaps it was a stupid idea, but he was out of fucks to give. Funnily enough, that seemed to amuse Solomon more than anything, given the small upward twitch of his lips, “Yes, young hero, I believe it’s time for us to have a proper conversation.”

The man nodded slightly before turning back into a golden spark and flying toward Ekrizdis’ tomb. Harry followed him instinctively and walked inside. Ekrizdis might be dead, but there was still the mess with Nidhogg, wasn’t there? For fuck’s sake, when will this fucking day end?

Harry looked at the entrance of the cave feeling exhausted. Singing a realm into existence was very draining, even...

And just like that, Harry used all the Hallows at once, using his very soul to activate them, letting his crest take over. The young wizard enjoyed the shocked look on Ekrizdis’ face as their surroundings were consumed by a gigantic wave of shadows.

Harry gasped as his attack petered out. He was standing in a crater, everything around him had turned into complete ash. The attack literally atomized ...

AN: I don’t know if you noticed but I rewrote a large part of the previous chapter. It’s almost double the length now. There’s a lot of stuff that I didn’t do well in the first one.

There was something very wrong going on, and the young wizard was definitely not going to trust some projection without any form of assurances. He looked the projection straight in the eyes and spoke up, “Tell me everything you know about this Nidhogg. Then we’ll talk about whether or not we’ll help.”

Harry turned to explore the cave a bit and saw a familiar name written in Middle English, “Ekrizdis.” He turned towards his companion with a slight smirk, “Well, we did end up finding his tomb. Huh.”

The name was carved on one of the walls. It was precise enough to have been obviously made using magic, especially considering how it held up to the tests of time. Harry slowly traced it with his...

“In the tomb of its last wielder. Solomon’s grimoire is hidden in Azkaban.” Well, that complicated things, especially since Azkaban was barely more than rubble after Grindelwald blew it up. Then again, he’d been through worse.

A portal opened on a hill, and he stepped through it alongside Voldemort. It was still weird to think of the man as an ally, even if he didn’t trust him one bit. Cons...

He walked forward, meeting the red eyes of the man who had almost killed him when he was younger, the now mortal lord Voldemort – not that the monster knew – and spoke up, “I’ve been looking for you for some time, Voldemort. We need to talk.”

With that said Harry took the time to look at his surroundings. He was in a hall that was about as large as Hogwarts’ Great Hall, if a bit spar...

From the look in Dumbledore’s eyes, Alastor knew that he wouldn’t budge on this. The man really needed, and what was one last mission? He took a deep breath and answered, “Where are we going?”

With a small pop, both Alastor and Albus appeared in complete darkness. He still marvelled at how smooth Dumbledore...

Alastor Moody entered the frankly smelly pub trying to do his best not to show his displeasure at being summoned in the middle of the night for some obscure reason. He looked over the bar counter and saw Aberforth Dumbledore growling at him.

He was still surprised that this place still stood, especially considering how badly the village’s economy was faring. Most of the shops relied on stud...

Remus Lupin stood still in the forest where Harry had just sent him and his brethren with his portals. The trees were tall and close together, letting through just enough light to create a patchwork of shadows on the ground. Birds chirped softly overhead, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves, adding a peaceful backdrop to the tense moment. A narrow path meandered through the woods, partially covered in fallen leaves...

But this… This had potential. This was the weakest Dumbledore had ever been before, and Harry had every intention of capitalizing. Harry pointed his wand at the man smugly and spoke up, “What was that about handling me again?”

Harry walked into a portal into what seemed to be the middle of nowhere. From what he could tell from the outside, it was just some regular farm. At least it would have looked like one if it wasn’t for the signs of magic all over the place. Dark clouds loomed overhead, unleashing a relentless downpour that soaked the fields, while thunder boomed ominously every few minutes, shaking the very ground beneath the farm.<...

Daphne had gotten back home afterwards, shaken by how many corpses were around. The news of the attack was bound to spread quickly and her parents would have been worried sick if she came back late.

As glad as Arcturus was that Harry, his own legacy was back, he couldn’t help but feel like he was punished for something, given the endless meetings and paperwork he had to deal with.

Remus Lupin was worried. He didn’t show it, of course, he had a position of authority to maintain. He was the first Lycan, the most powerful, the Alpha, in a way. To be honest, people tended to wrongly assume that werewolves lived like savages, bowing to the will of their leader without question. It wasn’t exactly wrong, but it also wasn’t right. There were some inherent instincts of respec...
