If you looked down from the sky, the small island of Grey Gallows partially resembled a banana, a very crooked and hexagonal-shaped one, but still a banana, wider in the middle and thinner at the edges.
According to Jon's rough calculation, a total of three thousand-something pirates were residing on this island at the moment, and that's of course not counting the number of slaves, prosti...

"That... is so stupid," Dean murmured with a bewildered expression on his face, "Wouldn't anyone be able to access their common rooms then?"
"Maybe that was the point. Helga Hufflepuff was quite well known to be welcoming towards every one..." Ron shrugged. He had also been a bit sceptical after reading the method to enter the common room written in the Marauder's Map, but thankfully it h...

"What happened? Why did you stop here?" Dean asked in a bewildered whisper as he hurriedly ran out of the portrait hole, with the Fat lady snoring in it, only to find all four boys standing there outside the Gryffindor common room whispering to each other with confused looks on their faces.
All four of them awkwardly looked at each other before Harry cleared his throat, "Dean, you wouldn'...

A few hours later, they reached the shore with the morning sun brightening up the sky, but since Jon had told Bran, Gared's son, to lead the company to the nearest coast he could find, there wasn't a proper dock here, so all their ships were anchored in the distance in the shallow waters and were not sending small rowing boats turn by turn to pick up sellswords to take them back to the ships ha...

It was the hour of the wolf, the darkest time of the night just before the first rays of the Sun washed away the darkness.
In a medieval world like Planetos, the night represented the unknown, the terrifying, the time when even the bravest of knights were hesitant to go outside and this fear of the unknown was magnified a hundred times out on the open ocean.
Or at least it should be...

"Alright, Seamus. Did you get the glasses?" Ron asked as he impatiently sat between Harry and Neville on the floor.
"Huh? Oh, Yes." Seamus hurriedly nodded his head and turned back to pull a small bag from under his bed before taking five intricate goblets out of it, "These were the only ones I could nick from Great Hall..."

As Ron kneeled down and opened the bag to take out the second bottle of Fire whisky, he found an extra something that he had completely forgotten about— a small vial of crystal clear liquid.
It took a few seconds for him to remember that it was something called the Soul-Freeze, a liquid potion meant to enhance the taste of Firewhisky by ten times... or at least that's what Sirius had to...

There were many big and small islands in the chain of rocky islands that make up the Stepstones. But only a few of them were famous and big enough for people other than pirates to know of their names.
The biggest and most famous one was of course Bloodstone Island having previously been a host for not only half a dozen petty Pirate kings but also the infamous, Daemon Targaryen, self-decla...

He was alone in a foreign land sitting inside an absurdly expensive shop that was empty and had no merchandise to sell at the moment.

But at the last moment, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and somehow managed t...

Behind the ten reserve ships of the pirate fleet stood a massive Galleon. And unlike the other pirate's ships which were all different varieties of thin sleek galleys, the Galleon was bigger, fancier and much better equipped, because, after all, it was the Ravager's personal ship, as such, it had to have the corresponding dignity.
In fact, if it wanted, then this ship could even go toe to...
