Light was everywhere.
Red, yellow and white beams swirled, dancing around each other, clashing in the stormy sky, covering everything. As far as Harry could turn his head to see, the entire heavens was in turmoil. Fire would rain from the sky here and there amidst flashes of multicoloured radiance. Deafening booms rang out, sounds that he couldn’t place or understand. The w...
2024-03-11 09:05:17 +0000 UTC View Post“Of course it is,” said Daphne, stomping her way forward, pretending like the stone floors of Hogwarts were quaking at her annoyed footsteps. “I swear, this stupid school. Why does every hideous crazy thing just have to happen here? And Morgana forbid it has something to do with someone else for a change. Augh!”
They passed through the pillar obliquely, ...
2024-02-25 18:49:37 +0000 UTC View PostI am shifting to a new place, so lots of issues to take care of. The updates will be postponed by 2 more days for that. You will still get the monthly six chapters before the month is over.
2024-02-21 16:51:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs Harry Potter was just about to leave his room to head for Dumbledore’s office, he was surprised to find Daphne Greengrass waiting patiently for him just outside.
“Good evening,” she said cheerfully. “ I had a few questions about your last class, Professor. I thought of catching you at dinner, but you were absent. Perhaps if you gave me a moment of your time, professor…”
... 2024-02-17 16:04:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment Harry Potter came to his senses, he instantly regretted it.
He couldn’t breathe. His heart was burning. His brain was pulsing. His very veins were searing him from the inside out. The mere functions of sight, smell or even thinking, were ignored to deal with the primary issue that was the pain pervading his nerves.
Seconds? MInutes? Hours? He had no idea how lo...
2024-02-10 16:19:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe world is grayscale. He looks at it, and doesn’t know what enrages him the most.
The fury is so intense that he can barely think through it, like being trapped in a dream. A nightmare. A haze of rage so thick that it is a surprise he hasn’t destroyed the world itself.
He sees them. Bathed in shallow green, they are transient existences that pale before a...
2024-02-08 15:27:45 +0000 UTC View PostHarry Potter knew that Hermione Granger was trying to kill him. She wasn’t even pretending to do otherwise anymore. After Harry had ‘killed’ five of the nine professor facsimiles she had ‘imagined’ into existence, the girl hadn’t regenerated them at all. No doubt keeping track of all nine at once had been taxing the girl’s brain, even with the Diadem amplifying her skill. Instead,...
2024-01-30 18:32:42 +0000 UTC View PostThat is not Hermione.
It was the only thought that managed to lodge into Harry’s mind before he had to hastily raise a full-body Protego, just to survive the onslaught of spells that slammed at him with the force of a freight train. His shield buckled, but held. The hair on the back of his neck flared, and Harry leapt to his right, just as the floor morphed into a wide chasm wi...
2024-01-20 17:12:15 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a silver tiara, beautifully carved with an azure gem in its centre, pulsing with magic. It sat upon the chipped bust of an ugly, old warlock, blending perfectly into the surroundings. Yet to Hermione’s eyes, the polished crest of Ravenclaw, etched upon the tiara stood out more than anything else. And in the centre, right below the azure gemstone were words inscribed in Latin.
The Room was getting destroyed.
The entire place shook as if it was the epicentre of the greatest of earthquakes. Explosions fired off so rapidly that it was easier to consider the chain of them to be one massive phenomena, than try to recognize each one as an individual event. Nothing could remain in place or intact. All fell to the ground, either as projectiles or makeshift shields to d...
2024-01-10 19:24:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe wall of junk before Albus Dumbledore was ripped up and flung aside from the path as a bolt of pure crushing force blasted forth from faux-Grindelwald’s wand. At a closer look, the Dark Lord wielded an exact facsimile of the Elder Wand, but unlike Dumbledore’s legendary weapon, faux-Grindelwald’s one was merely a copy — a speck of illusion temporarily made real. The very air screamed...

Harry took a deep breath. After confirming with Dumbledore about some of the do’s and don’ts related to the Lament, and an impromptu lesson on traditions from his accursed, ghostly ancestor, Harry had performed a Vow, with Dumbledore acting as a Binder and witness to the event. Revoking Iacomus Potter’s decision to cast Wy...
2023-12-30 15:45:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe return to Hogwarts was just as expected, listening to the song and dance of what ‘supposedly happened’, gossiping about what they thought was the ‘accepted’ version of the truth.
Neither Draco nor Chang had returned to Hogwarts. The events at the wedding had led to a cascade of increasing faceloss for the Malfoy family, and even greater financial downfall, with the news of wha...
2023-12-25 18:02:23 +0000 UTC View PostSomewhere in Trier, Germany.
The house had a gothic feel. Greyish gargoyles stood at the corners of the roof, with black iron gates glowering at the front, and statuary lined the walk to the front door. Long grassovergrew his ward, giving the impression of it being less than the house of a disgraced Head of the German Auror office, and more like an ominous speaker to the ...

2023-12-15 15:03:48 +0000 UTC View PostWhat a difference being in a different country could make! Had this been Britain, Fudge would probably be midway painting this as yet another glory-seeking attempt on Harry’s part coupled with some kind of insane conspiracy against removing his biggest supporter, the Malfoys, out of the equation. Knowing the fool, he probably thought that too. Unfortunately, the fickle winds of fortune were i...
2023-12-10 19:36:53 +0000 UTC View PostEverything was going according to plan.
It had all been such a brilliant idea. Draco had trusted Chang to get Potter to sign his wealth away, but there was always something that could go wrong in the end. When he had seen Potter bring Greengrass into the mess, Draco inwardly knew that the situation would plummet.
But the way it did… he had never imagined it to happen like that. 2023-12-05 15:29:09 +0000 UTC View Post
“Bob-what?” asked a flustered Cornelius Fudge. “Is that supposed to be a joke, Mr. Potter?”
He did look like Harry had kicked him in the stones. Fudge didn’t debate well and his buttons were almost as easy to push as Draco Malfoy’s. His red-faced, open-mouthed expression told Harry that he was feeling insulted and wanted to lash back. It didn’t help that he was standing righ...

“Uh, it’s actually Winterfell, my dear,” said the posh-looking lady.
My apologies.,” said Harry, beaming with his best fake smile. His cheeks were already ...

2023-11-20 17:59:28 +0000 UTC View PostBack in Ananta Shesha’s Lair, Harry had read a book about Emotive Magic and its effect on standard spellcasting. It was there that he had found out that apart from the standard ‘Duo’, ‘Maxima’ or the rarer and exceedingly dangerous ‘Horribilis’ suffixes, there was a fourth suffix, one that was redacted from the pages of wizarding history. A suffix so powerful and so twisted, that ...
2023-11-15 13:49:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt was time for the duelling finals, between Daphne and Sue Li. Li was obviously the crowd’s favourite, with her experience as a professional Under-17 duelist representing Britain two times in a row already. If anyone at Hogwarts was supposed to be skilled at silent casting, the clear bet would be on her.
Excluding Harry himself, that is.
On the flip side, Daphne was Harry’s fia...
2023-11-10 18:06:34 +0000 UTC View PostIf there was one thing Cho understood about Draco Malfoy, it was his immense inferiority complex. That was just about the most prominent fact about his character, followed by his impossible desire for opulence. Not the wealth part, of course. Becoming wealthy was something everyone should aspire to, and being someone from a climber family, Cho understood it very well. The Changs had a rich ance...

Harry shook Theodore Nott’s hand. Just as Daphne had intimated, she had arranged a meeting with a group of interested people whose politics matched with Daphne’s own interests. It was a Sunday afternoon, and despite Fleur’s initial hesitance, she had ended up coming to this meeting, as his friend if nothing el...

Only to blink, and this time, they had turned emerald green.
It took him a while for the memories to come back, but Harry soon realised that he was perched on one of the stone pillars in the dark and empty corridor. How had he come here? Had Hedwig—

The gargoyle immediately began to spin around as it moved up, revealing the staircase behind it. Harry stepped forward and allowed the revolving stairs to take him upward. And this time, he didn’t even bother touching the door knob, and just waited there.

He rolled his eyes. A proximity ward on the knob, and another on the outside then. He...
