Ryan was making some progress. He had switched from the weak, intermittent flickers to a steady flashlight mode, and the frequency of fluctuations was steadily decreasing. It seemed like he was close to achieving success.
Mikel, however, was struggling. The light on his wand was wildly unstable. At its brightest, it was blinding like a searchlight, but at its weakest, it barely glowed lik...

Kyle didn't know much about Cho Chang, Cedric's future girlfriend and Harry Potter's unattainable crush, besides the fact that she was in Ravenclaw. But now, there was something new he could add to that: she was helpful.
After all, not every Ravenclaw would go out of their way to help others; many preferred to immerse themselves in their own thoughts, often revolving around schoolwork or ...

Although Kyle never had to worry about delivering letters personally, having his own owl at Hogwarts was still a good idea. In the wizarding world, owls served a similar function to phone numbers in the Muggle world—they often represented the identity of their owner. And that was still quite important.
Take, for instance, Kyle’s mother, Diana, who worked in the Department of Mysteries...

Early the next morning, Kyle was forced out of bed by the bright sunlight streaming through the dormitory’s round window. Since he hadn’t drawn the curtains the previous night, the sunbeams hit him squarely in the face like a spotlight.
How was anyone supposed to sleep like that?
Grudgingly, Kyle got dressed and stretched, then walked over to the window. Although Hogwarts Castle...

"In short, these are the main things you need to keep in mind. As long as you pay attention to them in your daily life, you won't lose house points. But even if you do lose points once in a while due to negligence, it's no big deal. Here in Hufflepuff, we don’t worry too much about that. The most important thing is that everyone enjoys their time at Hogwarts."

Hufflepuff’s common room was nestled deep within the underground passages of Hogwarts Castle. The entrance, cleverly hidden in a pile of large barrels located in the kitchen corridor’s right-hand corner, was both inconspicuous and charming in its simplicity. Gaining entry was straightforward: students had to follow the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuff’s name, tapping the bottom of the second ba...

Half an hour later, the banquet was winding down, and the main dishes had been replaced with an array of tempting desserts. Kyle, after surveying the options, picked a serving of maple pudding. Bill and Charlie had raved about this particular dessert, insisting that nowhere else could replicate its authentic taste quite like Hogwarts.
Kyle took a bite and immediately understood the hype. ...

Kyle glanced up, following Cedric's finger, and was surprised to find Kanna sitting diagonally across from him on his left, focused on cutting into a steak. However, every time she made a slice, her eyes flicked up to meet his, as if her plate held not a steak, but Kyle himself.
The sight made Kyle grit his teeth in discomfort.

After taking his seat at the Hufflepuff table, Kyle felt an overwhelming sense of relief wash over him. Before the Sorting Ceremony, he'd been anxious, uncertain about where he might end up. But now, with everything settled and him officially a part of Hogwarts, a true sense of belonging took hold. It was a wonderful feeling.
Kyle rested his chin in his left hand, leaning his arm casually...

Kyle didn’t waste a second. With three quick strides, he was up on the stage, escaping the tension he’d felt under Kanna’s watchful glare. Once on the stage, he let out a sigh of relief, patting his chest. He turned to Professor McGonagall and said sincerely, "Thank you, Professor."
His sudden show of politeness seemed to catch her off guard. It took her a moment to react, but then ...

The entire auditorium fell silent.
The older students from the other grades eagerly watched, waiting for the show to begin, while the new students nervously eyed the dirty, tattered hat as if a troll might leap out of it at any moment. Then, without warning, the hat began to wriggle. Its tip swayed side to side, while the brim undulated up and down, as if it were attempting to dance.

A few minutes later, more and more ghosts began to appear in the small room, each one with a different shape and size—some tall, others short, some thin, and others rather rotund.

Kyle had always been curious about how the boats transporting first-year students across the Black Lake actually worked. He had assumed it was magic, but now he wasn’t so sure. Despite observing the boats closely for a long time, he hadn’t detected any obvious magical traces.

Kanna soon left, and Kyle, ever principled, didn’t touch the pile of Galleons on the table. Instead, he used a simple Floating Charm to return the money to Kanna’s pocket as she walked away. Even though she seemed wealthy, Kyle had no intention of cheating an eleven-year-old out of her money. It was a matter of principle.

In the wizarding world, mice are the cheapest of the designated pets at Hogwarts, so they naturally attract a wide range of young witches and wizards. However, most people opted for more charming varieties, like hamsters with their soft, beautiful fur and friendly temperaments, or black mice, known for their longer lifespan, and the white mice, which gave off a clean, pristine look.

“Wait, you can also brew others pet tonics?” Cedric’s eyes lit up at Kyle’s revelation. “Then could I leave my owl’s tonic to you in the future?”

Kyle boarded the train, only to find that most of the first few carriages were already full. He couldn’t help it—he had boarded late, and it was hard to find an empty seat by this time. With a sigh, he used the Floating Charm to lift his luggage and made his way toward the back of the train, hoping for better luck. Eventually, he found a relatively spacious compartment near the end.
