Chapter 94: The Assassination Mystery

After ensuring the camp’s affairs were in order, Lynd approached Malora's tent and handed her the ornate box he had retrieved from the dwarf assassin.

Malora’s gaze fell on the box in his hand, and she chuckled. “Are you trying to woo me with gifts, my dear lover?”

Lynd ignored her teasing. “This was on ...

Chapter 93: Assassination

Godsgrace Castle is situated at the confluence of the Greenblood, Scourge, and Vaith Rivers. Surrounded by abundant water and lush vegetation, the castle is nestled within a vast forest, making it resemble a town in The Reach rather than a typical city of Dorne.

The entire castle is massive, at least three times larger ...

Chapter 392: Fudge

Kyle and Kanna braved the snow and wind to make their way to The Three Broomsticks. The pub was bustling, far livelier and louder than the calm, frilly ambiance of Madam Puddifoot's Teahouse, and the freshly made Butterbeer was steaming, releasing a warm, frothy mist.

Behind the counter, the barman, a curvy, good-lookin...

Chapter 391: Madam Puddifoot, the Candy-Making Expert

Christmas was drawing ever closer. One morning, a sparkling frost covered the castle grounds, and a festive buzz filled the air inside Hogwarts. Professor Lupin had set up a few small Christmas trees in his classroom, with various sweets hanging from the branches for students to enjoy—probably his biggest splurge of the ter...

Chapter 390: Fred and George’s Childhood

By December, two weeks before the holidays, the sky finally cleared, turning a bright, dazzling off-white. These days were some of the calmest Hogwarts had seen in a while. With no sightings of Sirius Black and Dumbledore’s fury keeping the Dementors away from the castle gates, things felt nearly peaceful.

It had been...

Chapter 389: Harry’s Blushing Heartbeat

Faced with Kyle's suggestion and the hopeful looks of his students, Professor Lupin hesitated before nodding in agreement. "I'll give it a try—if the headmaster approves."

Kyle was right; learning an extra Charm was always beneficial, and he had no real reason to refuse. Besides, Harry had come to see him about the Pa...

Chapter 92: Orphans of the Greenblood

“What’s wrong with him?” Willas asked Lynd, his gaze fixed on the Dorne contingent. He had noticed the Red Viper sitting listlessly atop his horse, showing no interest even in his paramour’s attentions, exuding a palpable sense of emasculation. Something had been amiss with Oberyn for the past two days. He had spoken ...

Chapter 91: The First Spear of Dorne

The Water Gardens, situated on the beach southwest of Sunspear Castle, are connected to the castle by a coastal road. Built nearly a hundred years ago, this manor has been meticulously maintained and appears almost new. Its pools, pens, courtyards, and gardens, along with the elegant beams, columns, and distinctive arches of ...

Chapter 388: Starting a Club

The Dementors had entered the school without warning, sending Dumbledore into a fury. He couldn’t believe this had happened merely because he’d been away for a day. Upon hearing the news, he dropped everything and went straight to the Ministry of Magic to confront Fudge. No one knew what was said between them in the minis...

Chapter 387: Backflip

As the only real casualty of the Dementor attack, Harry had to stay in the Hospital Wing for the entire weekend. People visited often, trying to cheer him up, but Harry struggled to smile.

His broomstick was shattered, split cleanly in two. He had known it would likely break from a fall of fifty feet, and the thought ha...

Chapter 386: The Misty Siren

The light from the four Patronus charms completely enveloped the stadium, holding the Dementors at bay twenty feet above the stands.

Soon, professors within the castle caught wind of the situation and rushed over. Patronuses began to soar from different parts of Hogwarts, their bright silver light piercing through the r...

Chapter 385: Kyle’s Patronus

Professor Dumbledore wasn't at the castle?

Kyle quickly stood up on his seat, scanning the area around the commentary box. Another flash of lightning briefly lit up the pitch, confirming what Mikel had said—Professor Dumbledore was indeed absent. With the rain coming down in torrents, there were far fewer professors w...

Chapter 90: Arrival at Sunspear

In autumn and winter, the monsoon from the Summer Sea blows from west to east. With sails fully set, the wind puffed up the canvas, propelling the ships forward. Although the ocean currents flowed from east to west, they had little impact on the fleet's progress.

After departing Oldtown, Willas’s fleet enjoyed smooth ...

Chapter 89: A Man and a Woman Alone

Three days had passed since the Ironborn invasion. News arrived from Three Towers, Blackcrown Castle, and Bandaren Castle, reporting that the Ironborn fleet was sailing north.

Willas, upon receiving this information, wasted no time. Without resting, he ordered the entire army to begin boarding the ships.

To accomm...

Chapter 384: An Uninvited Guest on the Field

The wind and rain were just as relentless on the day of the Quidditch match as they had been the day before. But as Hogwarts’ favorite sport, Quidditch drew the entire school to the pitch regardless of the weather. Students ran down towards the field, huddling against the fierce wind. Midway there, someone’s umbrella got ...

Chapter 383: Corrupted by Proximity

“Don’t worry, Filius, he’s not suffering from magical exhaustion this time,” Madam Pomfrey reassured, breathing a sigh of relief after examining Mikel in the Hospital Wing. “Although he’s fallen into a coma, his physical condition is stable. Nothing serious is wrong. He’ll just need to rest for a few days once h...

Chapter 382: No Way, Again?

At the end of October, Ratton finally returned from Romania after being away for more than a month. Kyle placed him back in his dormitory, filled his food bowl with dragon liver and tonic, and then untied the small bag tied to his paws.

Inside were dragon scale badges and a letter from Charlie. The letter explained that...

Chapter 381: Lupin and Black

For the next few days, there was only one topic of conversation throughout the school: Sirius Black. The stories about how he had broken into the castle grew increasingly wild.

Seamus Finnigan from Gryffindor insisted that Black had snuck in disguised as a Dementor… right among the guards. Luna, on the other hand, bel...

Chapter 88: The Queen of Thorns’ Decision

“How dare he? How dare he?!” In the Lord's Council Chamber in Highgarden, Lord Mace, holding a raven's scroll sent from Oldtown, raged and shouted at Maester Mollos, “Immediately, send a raven to Lord Leyton in Oldtown, and tell him to help us take Lynd Tarran at once!” and then at Vortimer, “He was your squire once...

Chapter 87: One Against a Hundred

Although many people were being punished, their injuries were all superficial. Each was a strong and able-bodied knight, so these wounds were minor to them and could be easily treated with medicine. Even Willas, who appeared to be the most seriously injured, was not in any real danger. Lynd's strikes were precise; though each...

Chapter 380: An Unconventional Transfiguration Class

After dinner, all the students remained in the Great Hall. Professor Dumbledore stepped forward to address them.

“Prefects, please guard the entrances to the Great Hall. The Head Boy and Head Girl, along with Professor Sprout, will be in charge of maintaining order here. If there is any news, a ghost will be sent to i...

Chapter 379: The Ruthless Sirius Black Doesn’t Even Spare a Painting

As soon as Kyle saw Professor Dumbledore, he realized that whatever they had been involved in was now well beyond their control.

The other professors soon arrived, too. A tabby cat leaped gracefully from a column by the stairs, transforming mid-air into Professor McGonagall. Snape rushed over, visibly tense, only to rel...

Chapter 378: The Chase in the Castle

After spending too much time in the Room of Requirement, the group hurried toward the Great Hall as Cho and Kanna reminded them of the Halloween feast.

“I can’t believe we’re missing the Halloween party,” Fred muttered, picking up his pace. “Pumpkin Pasties… Pork Chops… Sausage Rolls…”

“Shut up...

Chapter 377: Mist Gems

Because they’d been so absorbed in teasing the dog, Kyle and Cedric arrived at The Three Broomsticks just as everyone else had settled in. Once they found their seats, Fred slid two bottles of Butterbeer in front of them, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"How much did you two buy, and what took you so long?” he aske...

Chapter 86: Punishment

Willas, who had just completed the silent prayer ritual in the Starry Sept, hurried back to the barracks outside the castle despite his fatigue. Without delay, he summoned all the knights, officers, and Maesters who had accompanied him to a meeting to tally the losses.

When he saw the final figures, his face turned an u...

Chapter 85: The Ironborn Retreat

Osmund Tyrell, exhausted, swung his sword and cleaved the neck of an Ironborn. He continued to swing instinctively around him, but this time his blade met only air. The street had fallen eerily silent, and he suddenly noticed the absence of the chaotic sounds of battle.

Panting heavily, he stopped his futile swings. His...

Chapter 84: The Ironborn Attack

Seeing the devastation at the docks, the men-at-arms realized that Lynd had been right all along: a large number of Ironborn had indeed attacked Oldtown. But now, it was too late to heed Lynd’s commands.

With unease, the men-at-arms gathered around Lynd, their heads bowed slightly, like children caught in a mistake. O...

Chapter 83: The Second Day in Oldtown

On the third day in Oldtown, Lynd and Willas arrived at the Starry Sept early in the morning.

The Starry Sept stood atop the cliffs at the mouth of the Honeywine River, facing the Citadel across the river and the High Tower on Battle Island across the water. Together, these three iconic structures dominated Oldtown’s ...

Chapter 376: Teasing Dogs

The morning before Halloween, nearly all the third-year students and above gathered outside Hogwarts' main entrance, eager to set off for Hogsmeade. Harry, however, stood alone in the foyer, under Filch’s watchful eye. With no signed permission form, he was the only third-year not joining the trip, which made him Filch’s ...

Chapter 375: A Long-Awaited Visiting Day

By lunchtime, the new Beater had been chosen: Mikel. He had a solid understanding of Quidditch rules and good flying technique, having studied the game in depth. These qualities helped him secure the spot, and Cedric promptly decided he would take Wright's place as Hufflepuff’s new Beater.

When Ryan heard the news, he...
