On one side was Ekrizdis. An ancient archwizard that had shredded off his mortality and ascended to a spiritual existence. Gathering souls for centuries inside an island prison, savouring upon the raw and potent energies of the Anima, preparing for his magnum opus. The magical equivalent of hundreds, no, thousands of witches and wizards, amalgamated inside one single preternatural enti...
2024-11-05 18:05:37 +0000 UTC View PostWith an audible pop, Lord Voldemort appeared in front of the dilapidated Lestrange mansion located south of Wales. Ever since the Lestranges had been imprisoned for life in Azkaban, Lucius Malfoy had held the Regency of the House, and despite its dilapidated frontage, he had transformed the interior into a perfect abode for his under-the-table operations, preparation of illegal potion ingredien...

Expect the next chapter in 3 days.
2024-09-30 10:20:23 +0000 UTC View PostStudents of NEWT-level Wizarding history know that the island fortress of Azkaban was converted into a prison for dark witches and wizards in the Wizengamot Summer Solstice session in 1489 under Damocles Rowle’s leadership. It was swiftly followed by dragging the dark wizard Ekrizdis through the Ministry, and pushing him through the Archway, commonly known as the Veil of Death, an ancient art...

2024-09-28 16:27:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe entire place was violently calm.
The leased violence in the air had been palpable. Amelia had felt the pain from all six Confringo curses hitting her, screaming as they pierced into her skin, and struck her in vital places. The entirety of her taskforce was down on the floor, groaning as they attempted to get up despite their agony. Some among them had the deter...

Night had fallen, starless and cold, and Walden Macnair strode across the rooftop without fear.
Or so he’d have told anyone who asked, and indeed, he did not appear to be afraid. But there were hints as to his true emotional state, for those who knew what to look for. The biggest was the weapon, of course, his cursed battle axe that had devoured the blood of countless magical b...
2024-08-17 15:30:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe island of Azkaban had been part of the Ministry of Magic since the early fourteenth century after the capture and execution of the Dark Lord Emeric the Evil. When the Ministry’s forces raided Emeric’s base, they found something so deranged and horrible and twisted that Minister Damocles Rowle, using the help of an emergency Wizengamot session held in secret, found it relevant enough to ...
2024-07-30 18:22:38 +0000 UTC View Post“SIRIUS!” Harry yelled. The moment his godfather had vanished, the purple mist restraining him dissipated, dropping him down to the floor with an unceremonious thud. Harry pushed himself up, nearly slipped on the bloodied remains on the floor, looking around for his godfather. Everything around him became muffled, replaced by the deafening roar of his own heartbeat, and the silent cries of ...
2024-07-23 14:42:44 +0000 UTC View Post“FINITE INCANTATEM!” snarled an angry Sirius Black, a deluge of raw magic erupting out of his wand and crashing against the chain and manacles restraining Harry’s right arm..
He might as well have tried scolding it, for all the good it did.
Not willing to give up, he unleashed yet another volley of spells — severing hexes, blasting curses, disintegration curses, elemental ch...
2024-07-21 17:33:58 +0000 UTC View PostWorking with magic was a way of comprehending, understanding and applying the rules that governed matter and reality in the universe. One could approach it from a lot of different angles, applying a lot of different theories and mental models to it. You could get to the same place through a lot of different lines of theory and reasoning, kind of like really advanced mathematics. There was no tr...

Knowing the name Voldemort as well as Harry’s own moniker, the Boy-Who-Lived had both indicated that there was more going on than him being a survivor to an evil man’s wra...

2024-06-20 19:06:50 +0000 UTC View PostSirius shuddered as he climbed up the stairs that led to the fourth floor and stopped, his skin crawling. “This… this feels wrong. It’s like the air is screaming."
He ignored the growing unease in his gut, and let the canine form fortify his mind. He was no Harry Potter or gifted with special ocular technique, but he was confident that the spell active here was draining the hostages...

From the haunting and foreboding edifice that was the original Raven’s Isle in Transylvania, the seat of the Blacks before Phineas Nigellus’s time, to the enchanting and mesmerising grandeur of Hogwarts, the glass-like ethereal beauty of Beauxbatons, and the utterly bewitching ambience of Devil’s Tor, she ...

Albus Dumbledore didn’t bother to glance back at Dawlish. He was too enraptured with trying to stabilise and deconstruct the massive floating enchantment that encircled St. Mungo’s from above, while the ward-breakers kept attempting to tear openings into the barrier. It had already been five minutes since Harry Potter and Sirius Black had gotten through the bar...
2024-05-18 17:56:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe front facing of the building was just gone, as if some unimaginably huge axe had sliced straight through it. One could see the floors and interiors from outside, alongside the multitude of people trapped inside amidst the dust, smoke and rubble. Dead, mutilated bodies hung by the rafters from the sides, hacked off when the massive spell had activated. Broken glass and brick lay everywhere. ...
2024-05-06 04:33:08 +0000 UTC View PostPercy’s office was very much like Percy, neat and business-like. The predominant colours were black, white and grey, and charcoal drawings adorned the white walls. It could have been the office of a muggle lawyer in any part of the world, and stood in stark contrast to the abundance of overwhelming colours down on Diagon Alley. Thanks to excellent silencing charms, the hustle and bustle of th...

Supposed to bring financial windfall to the owner, the vase had always sat on Cornelius Fudge’s desk, inside the office of the Minister of Magic.

On regular days, it was bad enough, being forced to search through piles of reports about witches and wizards muggle baiting and tracking down hapless muggles that saw something impossible. A century or so ago, this might’ve made a lot of sense, especially with the Christian Church attacking anything supernatural like an obnoxious g...
2024-04-10 19:21:44 +0000 UTC View PostHarry was speechless.
Seeing that blood-red shard in front of him sent him reeling down memory lane. Seeing himself in the mirror of Erised, with a similar crystal in his hands, only for it to appear in his pocket had been one of the most magical moments of his life. Even to his undeveloped senses, he had felt the strangeness of the object, and even in his pubescent mind, it had called ou...

Despite the poisonous aura that Perenelle Flamel gave off, it soon became clear that she had no intention of hurting him. Perhaps manipulating and using him horribly in all kinds of schemes, but he wasn’t in any danger of being quartered like a pig for dinner....
