027 Reactions

The first week of school flew by swiftly, but it proved to be a challenging one for Harry. The rumors and whispers had intensified after Bryan Watson, an investigator, arrived at Hogwarts. Harry found himself increasingly annoyed by the attention he was receiving, as the presence of an investigator only added fuel to the speculation surrounding him. It all started a few weeks ago during Profess...

026 Lockhart

The opening dinner ended with an embarrassingly cold joke from Dumbledore, and the young wizards dispersed in groups. Until the end, they failed to understand Bryan's purpose for returning to school. It was expected that a grand detective campaign would take place in the school during the first week.

Bryan had already left before the young wizards. He hadn't forgotten that he didn't come ...

025 Opening Dinner

As night fell, young wizards and professors gradually gathered in the auditorium from all directions.

The ceiling of the auditorium projected the incomparably bright starry sky outside. The four long tables under the starry sky were bustling with crowds of people. The little wizards happily shared the wonderful time of the Christmas holiday with each other. Uneasy mood forgot to clean. 2023-06-22 13:45:24 +0000 UTC View Post

024 The Skynet

The time in Hogwarts was always comfortable and peaceful, unlike the hustle and bustle of the outside world, where people seemed like clockwork puppets, constantly running around to make a living. Bryan hadn't noticed how quickly the two weeks had passed. Tomorrow would mark the beginning of the second half of the semester and the first day of school.

Traditionally, Hogwarts held a school...

023 Memories

On a clear night, the sky was filled with shining stars, resembling countless bright silver beads embedded in the dark night.

However, the moonlight, which should have been bright and clear, held a strange elegance. In the hazy light and mist, it possessed an abnormal redness, as if a blood-stained hand had gently brushed across it.

A gust of brisk wind rushed from the vast and boun...

022 Polite Malfoy

In the face of Draco Malfoy's seething rage, Bryan remained remarkably calm. He innocently shrugged his shoulders, turned his head to look at Malfoy, and remarked, "What a pity. I thought you would find it rather cute!"

Malfoy was taken aback by the audacity of such a suggestion. How could anyone perceive this creepy, dangerous creature as anything other than repulsive? He wanted to refut...

021 Fate

After confirming that his order was useless to Bryan Watson, Malfoy's eyes turned cold. He didn't want to talk to him at all; he just wanted to go back and finish his letter. But for some reason, when Watson, who had the title of investigator on his body, politely said goodbye and walked to the dormitory, Malfoy still followed behind him.

"I have to keep an eye on you, Watson, in case any...

020 The Lost Thing

"Say something, Harry!"

Bryan, Hagrid, and Harry were lost in their thoughts, leaving Ron feeling anxious. He looked at Bryan curiously for a moment and then winked at Harry, trying to convey something. Ron was visibly restless, shifting his gaze between Bryan and Harry, his mind preoccupied.

It was Bryan who broke the silence first. He nodded at Harry and smiled warmly.

"Last...

019 Strange Hagrid

The rumors about the curse on Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts class by the Dark Lord were not baseless. During Bryan's time as a student at Hogwarts, he had never seen a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor complete their one-year term without some sort of misfortune. Many of the professors ended up in St. Mungo's Hospital, seamlessly transitioning from Hogwarts to medical care witho...

018 Request

Bryan understood the concerns of Professor McGonagall. He didn't reply immediately but meditated quietly. After a while, he raised his head and calmly met Professor McGonagall's stern gaze.

"The crux of the matter, Professor, lies in trade-offs," Bryan began.

Professor McGonagall twitched her lips, surprised by Bryan's unexpected response.

"Choice," Bryan continued, "We all ac...

017 Convincing Professor McGonagall

The final price of the panoramic telescope was five Galleons and ten Sickles each, which was cheaper than Bryan's price. Mr. Banges needed a whole week to prepare 600 pieces, including the telescopes.

When Bryan was sent away, Mr. Banges seemed distraught, as if he had lost a significant amount of money.

Bryan realized that he may have overreacted a bit. Generally, the cost of most ...

016 Negotiations

Bryan, who was jogging along the lake in the morning, stood under a willow tree to rest for a while and saw a black shadow approaching him quickly from the castle.

"Dumbledore asked me to give this to you."

The pale golden sunlight mixed with fine powder hit Snape's face, softening his cold and rigid expression a little. After a few steps, he threw a black money bag to Bryan.

...

015 Trust

Bryan was stunned, his expression a mix of shock and confusion as he looked at the spot where the black witch had been standing just moments ago.

"Did she Apparate or use a Portkey?" a thought crossed Bryan's mind, but he dismissed it almost immediately.

The Hogwarts grounds were protected by powerful magical defenses, rendering common teleportation methods ineffective. The ancient ...

014 Life And Death Duel

"Bryan Watson?"

Bill Weasley's usually relaxed and carefree expression vanished from his handsome face. He was so shocked that he nearly fell off his Cleansweep-Four broomstick when he was hooked by a broken wooden stake to his wizard's robe. He struggled to regain his balance.

"When Grace told me you killed Henry, I thought she was just playing a funny little joke on me."

Bil...

013 Lesson

Even though they knew there were two people on their side and all the Gryffindor team members were nearby, Henry and Grace still felt intimidated by Bryan's menacing eyes. They trembled as if facing a Hungarian Horntail ready to devour them.

"Henry~" Grace tightly held her boyfriend's wrist, her voice trembling. "Are you sure he's just an oddball nerd in Slytherin, Henry? Those eyes of hi...

012 Enraged

On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Bryan stopped and took a look at Hagrid's house. There was no light in the simple log cabin, and at the same time, he couldn't feel any magical presence. It seemed that Hagrid was not in the house.

As we all know, the gamekeeper at Hogwarts is one of Albus Dumbledore's most trusted confidantes. Many times, Dumbledore would entrust extremely important a...

011 The Hidden Edge

In the evaluations of Severus Snape and Hagrid, Bryan Watson was seen as a low-key and withdrawn person, and even he himself did not deny that this was an appropriate evaluation.

However, this was not because Bryan himself was a wizard who rejected people from thousands of miles away.

You see, Bryan is an 'outsider.' Before coming to Hogwarts, he always thought that he had crossed o...

010 The Past

"Thanks to the magical invisibility cloak left to me by Harry's father," Hermione said, slipping out of the castle without any hindrance. As she passed by the Great Hall, she glanced at the staff dining table where Ms. Pomfrey was having a hot chat with the Hogwarts librarian, Mrs. Pince. Hermione urged in a low voice, "Hurry up, Harry, Ron. Madam Pomfrey will be back at the school hospital bef...

009 Tracing

The gloom of many days finally dissipated on the first day of the New Year. The rising sun sprinkled on the white playground, and the reflected light covered Hogwarts Castle with a layer of light golden tulle.

After preparing the necessary recovery potions for Hermione early, Madam Pomfrey went downstairs to have breakfast in the auditorium. In the school hospital, only Harry and Ron acco...

008 Discussion

The moment Hermione fell on the icy floor of the school hospital, her mind was in chaos, and she struggled to find a way to explain why she had eavesdropped on a private conversation. However, she quickly noticed a glaring problem—how had Snape recognized her even before the door opened?

She wondered if the girl with cat ears was describing herself. Hermione desperately wished she had H...

007 Midnight Revelations

After hastily concluding the meeting, Bryan left Dumbledore's office well past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. His cheeks were slightly stiff from a prolonged smile, as if the echoes of Dumbledore's laughter lingered even though the Headmaster was no longer in sight.

It seemed almost surreal to Bryan that he had spent over three hours chatting with Dumbledore, yet he still coul...

006 Conversation with Dumbledore

The extremely cold weather had frozen the enormous black lake into a solid piece of ice. In the dim light, the Forbidden Forest swayed in the bitter cold wind, resembling a lake adorned with jagged lights.

"Last Easter, I remember you writing to tell me about your exploration of the ruins of an ancient Greek wizard in Greece and mailing me five pints of dragon's blood and forty ounces of ...

005 Reunion at the School Gate

Inherited for thousands of years, the ancient castle that has gone through the vicissitudes of history still exudes mysterious magic in the heavy snow. During the Christmas holiday, Hogwarts is much quieter than in the past.

In the empty castle, apart from the murmurs of the figures hanging on both sides of the narrow corridor and the clinking sounds of the standing armor, only Peeves' sh...

004 Unveiling Secrets

The heavy snowfall had covered the streets of ancient London, hiding the dirt and grime beneath a white blanket. However, the gloomy, ever-present sky hinted at an impending snowstorm. Muggle street sweepers battled the snow with all their might, trying to clear a path on the old streets.

Bryan Watson, wearing an old dark green overcoat, stood in the empty yard, gazing intently at the unf...

003 The New Commission

Bryan weighed the bag in his hand, expanded by the Undetectable Extension Charm. Even with the weight weakened by the Levitation Curse, it still felt excessively heavy. But the weight brought him immense happiness.

Seven hundred gold Galleons—that was his reward after half a month of starving and foraging in the old forests of the Jura Mountains in France. It was enough to match the off...

002 The Fawley Family

"How dare you—"

Many stories start with predictable endings, but the gloomy underground world suddenly reverberates with an angry howl, sharp as a werewolf's cry under a full moon.

"Playing--"

Within three seconds of consuming the intoxicating potion, the old wizard leaps up. The pustules and scabies on his bald head quickly change color from red to purple, then black. Like ...

001 Night of Shadows

December 27, 1992.

Just after Christmas, Oxford Street in London's West End is already full of people, and piles of Muggles wearing brand new clothes take to the streets. The children are laughing and playing, and young people exchange sincere New Year wishes. Everyone has a yearning for a better life in their hearts, and even the heavy snow cannot wipe the smiles off their faces.

F...
