Next month, we'll hopefully be getting back to the schedule. In a few hours, I'll be dropping chapters for the rest of the tiers, so I hope you all enjoy. I love you all, and I'm v
As his patrons might already know, J, the editor, had suffered quiet a nasty neck injury. He's made a great effort thought, and tonight, I've managed to release 26 chapters! I know I've been inconsistent, but with this, I've posted 35 chapters this month, so I ...
2019-10-31 20:18:57 +0000 UTC View PostHarry lurched forward to try and catch the egg, but too late!
The egg fell down the long staircase with a bang as loud as a bass drum on every step.
Dong, Dong, Dong...
The Golden Egg fell through the tapestry at the bottom of the staircase, burst open, and began wailing loudly in the corridor below.
"Oops, it will wake everyone up in the castle!" said Harry. "Come on, Ron, get it back!"
His feet were still knee deep in the trick step, and he could not pull them ...
2019-10-31 20:13:25 +0000 UTC View Post“Caresius Slytherin, who’s this?!”
Ron blinked and saw the name blur, twist and disappear completely in front of him; as though it had never appeared before and everything was his illusion.
Before Ron could look away, Snape popped up in his office the next second.
He stayed for a while, then turned and went out to leave the dungeon and walked to the hall.
Snape was so fast that he seemed to be running after someone, just in time to meet Evan and Hermione who had ...
2019-10-31 19:46:19 +0000 UTC View PostRon was still digesting this shocking news and couldn’t believe he was going into the lake.
"Myrtle … what lives in the lake, apart from the giant squid?" Harry continued.
"Oh all sorts, far beyond your imagination!" she said, seemingly a little unhappy. "I sometimes go to the lake to hang out … sometimes I don’t have any choice, if someone flushes my toilet when I’m not expecting it..."
Harry tried not to think about Moaning Myrtle zooming down a pipe to the lake ...

"Ah!" Ron hurried to the golden egg, his foot slipped, he lost his balance of gravity, and he fell heavily.
Harry fell down too, and Ron pressed on him. And they both accidentally swallowed a considerable amount of bubbles.
They hurried to separate, stood up panting and sputtering.
"It's you!" Ron looked up and saw the ghost of a very glum-looking girl sitting cross-legged on top of one of the taps.
It was Moaning Myrtle!!!
It was a troublesome ghost...
2019-10-31 19:46:16 +0000 UTC View PostWhile Evan dived into the lake, Harry and Ron also sneaked out of the Common Room.
They walked slowly because Ron was hiding the heavy Golden Egg under his robe.
"Lavender is so enthusiastic we should have done it earlier. By the way, Harry, do you have the invisibility cloak and the Marauder's Map?" Ron asked nervously, avoiding the three first-years who were staring at them. "No one can say how long this bath will take. We must be careful not to be seen when we come back."
The access to this place depended on the resonance magic generated by the Merpeople's singing, which would not last for a long time.
Once the singing stopped, the gap between the entrance and exit would be closed and Evan would be locked in here.
He had to seize the time to learn the secret of the place and get out before the gap was closed.
Evan followed the raven's flight path and quickly walked through the rows of bookshelves to the inside.
At the innermost side of ...
2019-10-31 19:46:13 +0000 UTC View PostLike black cats, the wizards generally believed that ravens had strong magic and were a very special animal.
The wizarding community attached great importance to this kind of animal and gave it a moral that went far beyond many magical creatures.
As for the origin of the Raven and Ravenclaw, it could be traced back to history.
It is well known that in Celtic mythology, the raven often appears with the warrior goddess known as the Morrighan.
It is considered a symbol of...
2019-10-31 19:46:11 +0000 UTC View PostIn the light of the refraction of water and some fluorescent plants at the bottom of the lake, the whole Merpeople village was surrounded by a faint green light.
"Lumos!" Evan waved his wand and gave out a stronger light.
The Merpeople looked curiously at him and the shining wand, but they didn't come up. They were still singing and dancing.
When Evan got closer, he found the gap between the tail fin and the waist of the Merperson statue.
It was covered with t...
2019-10-31 19:46:07 +0000 UTC View PostDespite their proximity to Hogwarts, no wizard was allowed to go to the nearby waters to collect magical materials.
The Merpeople themselves were not proficient in magic and potions, so they were less likely to be interested in these things.
Over a thousand years, various materials and herbs in the nearby waters had accumulated to a terrifying amount.
When Evan first gave the Merpeople a gift two months ago, they were delighted to exchange graffiti, pebbles, shells and all s...
2019-10-31 19:46:02 +0000 UTC View Post“What can I do to become a Metamorphmagus?” Hermione asked, interested in this spell.
"Metamorphmagi are really rare, they’re born, not made. Most wizards need to use a wand or potions to change their appearance," said Tonks. "But you can do it, learning hard."
While Hermione and Tonks continued their conversation, Evan and Lupin were also talking.
"Evan, don't worry about Tonks. She's one of us. We've known each other for a long time. She's always been like this," sai...
2019-10-31 19:46:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs before, the Shrieking Shack was still very disordered. Paper was peeling from the walls, there were stains all over the floor; every piece of furniture was broken as though somebody had smashed it. The windows were all boarded up.
Apart from Sirius's brief stay there last year, no one had entered the house for more than 30 years.
The Shrieking Shack, also called the haunted house by Hogsmeade’s residents, was rarely approached. But the yells and shouts that villagers often he...
2019-10-31 19:38:35 +0000 UTC View Post"Very good, set!" said Sirius slowly. "Next step: Focus your determination to occupy the visualized space! Let your yearning to enter it flood from your mind to every particle of your body!”
Harry and Hermione also did what Sirius asked them to do and contemplated the hoop so hard that their faces had turned pink.
Evan’s eyes were also focused on the wooden hoop, trying to figure out where he was going to get.
"Step three," called Sirius, "and only when I give the comman...
2019-10-31 19:38:33 +0000 UTC View Post"I should have thought of it. Dumbledore did not allow this woman to enter Hogwarts, but she could still be in the school, eavesdropping on so many news, only..." said Hermione, her voice trembling slightly, and she looked up at Evan.
"Only what?!" Harry asked, not yet figuring out what was going on.
"Harry, Rita Skeeter is an Animagus, she can turn into a beetle," said Hermione, her breathing getting faster. "She must be illegal; there have been only seven registered Animagi in t...
2019-10-31 19:38:28 +0000 UTC View PostRita Skeeter's Animagus form was a beetle, and it was not easy to find an inconspicuous insect.
Especially knowing that Evan’s magic power was very strong, Rita Skeeter was more afraid and would not come to him easily.
Although she was ostentatious, she was cautious in character and seldom appeared around wizards with high magic power.
That's why she was eavesdropping everywhere, but her Animagus form had never been spotted.
Maybe waiting for her luck to run out, Rit...
2019-10-31 19:38:25 +0000 UTC View Post"By the way, why are there so many goblins following him?" Harry asked.
"According to Bagman, they are looking for Crouch and want him to help. Crouch is still ill. He hasn’t been into work!" Ron explained, his thoughts turned from the golden egg and he waved disapprovingly. "To me, maybe Percy is poisoning him. He probably thinks if Crouch snuffs it he’ll be made head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation."
Hermione gave Ron a don’t-joke-about-things-like-t...
2019-10-31 19:38:19 +0000 UTC View Post"My sister said that she would go swimming in the lake recently," said Gabrielle, looking at Krum who had dived into the lake."It's strange ... she had never been used to it before ... is there anything in the lake?"
"Who knows!"
Hearing Gabrielle's words, Hermione looked thoughtfully at Krum and felt as though she'd grasped something.
It sounded strange that two champions successively ran to the lake to practice winter swimming.
"Do you think the second task will have...
2019-10-31 19:38:17 +0000 UTC View PostEvan didn't tell Ron about the secret of the Golden Egg, which could easily arouse others' suspicion. That would be too obvious to do that, and it was pointless.
The key to the second task was not the information inside the Golden Egg, but how to get Ron to dive under the water.
There was no need to count on the Bubble-Head Charm. Given Ron's current situation, it was not practical or reassuring for him to fully master the use of this difficult charm. It was better to use the Gill...
2019-10-31 19:38:02 +0000 UTC View Post"Hagrid?!
"He’s right … you’re all right. I’ve been stupid … my old dad would have been ashamed of the way I’ve been behaving..." More tears leaked out, but Hagrid wiped them away more forcefully, and said, "By the way, I’ve never shown you a picture of my old dad, have I? Here…"
Hagrid got up, went over to his dresser, opened a drawer, and pulled out a picture of a short wizard with Hagrid’s crinkled black eyes, beaming as he sat on top of Hagrid’s shoulder. H...
2019-10-31 19:37:57 +0000 UTC View PostBehind Harry, Evan, Ron, and Hermione also entered the hut.
Fang rushed toward them, barking madly and trying to lick Evan's ears. Evan fended off Fang and looked around. He hadn’t come here for a few days, and he couldn’t believe it was the familiar Hagrid’s cabin.
The scene inside had changed so much that Ron and Hermione were equally surprised.
Harry ignored the empty bottles on the ground and the spoiled food, and went straight to Hagrid.
"Hagrid, cheer up wo...
2019-10-31 19:37:38 +0000 UTC View PostHagrid was nowhere to be seen for the following week.
He didn’t appear at the staff table at mealtimes; they didn’t see him going about his gamekeeper duties on the grounds. Harry went to look for him several times, but he refused to show up, hiding in the cabin and all the curtains were closed.
After the start of the new term, Professor Grubbly-Plank replaced him to take the Care of Magical Creatures classes.
Professor Grubbly-Plank was an elderly witch with closely cro...
2019-10-31 19:31:12 +0000 UTC View PostHermione believed that the unfair treatment of the half-giants and the werewolves was a prejudice and should be stopped!
Just like the attitude of the wizards towards the house-elves, this concept was fundamentally wrong.
Ron shook his head disbelievingly at Hermione’s idea, and Evan thought she was right. If every wizard had Hermione's consciousness, there would be no need to worry about many things.
But in fact it was not the case at all, and things were far worse than e...
2019-10-31 19:29:24 +0000 UTC View PostEvan and Hermione returned to the Great Hall. Ron and Lavender were still missing. Ginny and Gabrielle were sitting with a whole crowd of Beauxbatons girls. Neville and Luna were dancing together. Harry and Colin sat down at a table far removed from the dance floor.
"Have you seen Ron?" Harry asked, looking at Evan and Hermione who had just returned.
"He's busy outside!" Hermione said grumpily. She looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping to their conversation. Th...
2019-10-31 19:29:22 +0000 UTC View PostIn the bushes, Hermione pressed Evan under her body, and the two kept this position motionless.
She just pressed on Evan and felt the ups and downs of his breath.
They looked at one another in the eyes inadvertently; and though it was for a brief moment, Hermione was deeply immersed in it.
She only felt dizzy inside her head, and the burning blush became deeper, not only on her cheeks, but also on the ears and neck.
Her body was so fragile and soft, as though she was d...
2019-10-31 19:29:19 +0000 UTC View Post"Evan, do you remember what Sirius said?" Hermione analyzed, combined with the news she had so far, "Karkaroff is a Death Eater, he may be plotting something, and he seems to have a good relationship with Snape..."
"Don't fantasize, Hermione!" said Evan. He knew what Hermione was talking about, but that was not the case at all.
Hermione had too little information to analyze the incident in its entirety, and her conclusion was wrong. She only saw part of the story, there was a lot ...
2019-10-31 19:29:17 +0000 UTC View Post"Mr. Crouch's health is just a minor problem. He will be up and about in no time," said Percy importantly. "He’ll definitely get better before the start of the second task. But in the meantime, I’m more than willing to take up the slack. Of course, it’s not all attending balls."
He laughed airily and continued, "I’ve had to deal with all sorts of things that have cropped up in his absence … you heard Ali Bashir was caught smuggling a consignment of flying carpets into the coun...
2019-10-31 19:29:11 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the song ended, Evan and Hermione did not continue dancing and decided to return to their seats and rest for a while.
"It's really hot, isn't it?" Hermione said with a smile, fanning herself with her palms. Because of the dance, her cheeks were slightly reddish.
"You just danced too much," said Evan, "By the way, what would you like to drink?"
"Fruit juice, butterbeer will be good, too!"
"Oh, I’ll get it. Wait for me." Evan responded.
"Wait a minute!" sai...
2019-10-31 19:21:03 +0000 UTC View PostColin took out the camera and took this rare picture.
Soon, many people began to come onto the dance floor, and the champions were no longer the center of attention.
"Ready, Hermione?" Evan asked, reaching out and inviting her to dance.
"Yes!" Hermione nodded; her cheeks slightly red.
Her right hand was gently held by Evan, and she acquiescently followed him onto the center of the dance floor.
They danced slowly in a soothing rhythm, looking slightly astringent.<...

Percy was wearing brand-new, navy-blue dress robes and a smug expression on his face.
Evan stared at him for a while, wondering why Barty Crouch hadn’t come!
Ron was also surprised. Seeing Percy draw out an empty chair beside him, he sat down hesitantly.
"What are you doing here?" Ron asked in a low voice.
"I’ve been promoted!" Percy said arrogantly, and from his tone, he might have been announcing his election as supreme ruler of the universe. "I’m ...
2019-10-13 05:38:44 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone stared at Hermione with unflattering disbelief, dismayed and did not know what to say.
Hermione was definitely the most changed and beautiful of all the girls, subverting everyone's understanding of her.
"Good evening, Evan!" Hermione came over and whispered, "How do I look?"
"Beautiful … incredible!" Evan replied, looking at Hermione carefully.
His heart was beating fast and uncontrollably, and his eyes could not be removed from Hermione’s body.
