Students began filing into the Great Hall, chattering in anticipation of the Sorting Ceremony and the lavish feast to follow.
Countless candles floated high above, casting a warm glow across the spotless golden plates. Overhead, the enchanted ceiling shimmered with a spread of glittering stars.

The sudden change of topic threw Lady Greengrass off for a moment. She stared at Tom for several seconds before catching up.
"Buying a Merlin Medal with a donation? And you're aiming for First Class?"
Tom felt a twinge of embarrassment but still nodded. "For… certain reasons, this medal is very important...

No need to guess anymore... Vogel caved.
Frankly, the whole thing felt absurd.
Sure, this place had nice living conditions, but it was still a glorified prison. Being pampered with good food and drink was one thing…
But handing a wand to a prisoner?
Fuck the French Ministry — they had one job, and they st...

Fleur tilted her head. "What's up?"
"No no... WhatsApp!"
"WhatsApp?"
Fleur repeated the name, thinking of what it was supposed to mean. Gabrielle, however, had already flipped the notebook open with curiosity.
On the very first page was a form. It asked for the usual details—nickname, gender,...

The traitor had been exposed, and the blue Protego Diabolica had vanished.

Tom drove his wand into the ground, and a wave of red light surged outward, quickly spreading and overpowering the raging blue flames.
As the red light engulfed the battlefield, the...

The Little Garden had a total of twenty-five Solar Authorities.
Twenty-four belonged to the ecliptic zodiac or the celestial equator—leaving only one left for Veyron to claim.

"Lady Leticia."
Out on the suspended walkway over the middle of the reservoir, Black Rabbit reached out and pulled Leticia up.
"Apologies… I just needed a splash of cold water to clear my head."
Leticia stood on the walkway, water still dripping from her hair and clothes. Her shadow beneath her rip...

Helping someone go to war with the entire Little Garden? Yeah, that was obviously a joke.
Even if we put aside the Gene Lock (which, after experiencing it firsthand, Shiroyasha knew she could never abandon it), there were plenty of other reasons not to go against Veyron.
Like the chat group. That ultra-dim...

One day later…
Renzo was having breakfast in his living room with Index when two familiar guests arrived at the door.
Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl Magnus.

Kanzaki's fists were clenched tight, her voic...

After getting struck by that bolt of lightning, Tom was practically glowing. His skin looked new and almost translucent.
"Did he get a whole layer of skin peeled off?" Newt muttered under his breath. Tom still heard it, and the grin on his face twitched slightly.
Did he just shed a whole layer of skin or s...

Tom didn't agree right away. "I'm willing to help—but only if they're worth helping."

Fifteen minutes later, Tom trudged back, dragging the wings of two young Thunderbirds with a gloomy look on his face.

The Thunderbird was a massive, majestic creature with three pairs of wings and feathers that shimmered like swirling clouds.
