Chapter 373: Substitute Teaching

The process of obtaining the Diadem had gone smoothly, but Kyle was left uncertain about what to do next.

For a long time, every time he prepared to study the Diadem, he ended up simply staring at it. Now that this object had become one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, any secrets Rowena Ravenclaw might have hidden within it...

Chapter 372: The Diadem in the Treasure Chamber

Weekends at Hogwarts were always a delight, though not for everyone.

At 7:50, Mikel, who had been lingering in the Great Hall for the past half hour, reluctantly put down his cutlery and headed for the dungeons, glancing back every few steps. He seemed desperate, as though hoping his friends might accompany him, or that...

Chapter 371: Unique Potion Talent

The first period of the morning was Potions, a class Hufflepuff shared with Gryffindor. From the moment the lesson began, the Gryffindor students found themselves relentlessly targeted.

Katie Bell, from the Quidditch team, lost five points right at the door for the offense of wearing a hat. McLaggen, another Gryffindor,...

Chapter 370: Not a Single Normal Person

After leaving the Headmaster's office, Kyle didn’t head directly to Hagrid’s class. Instead, he stopped by the kitchen and asked the House-elves to help him buy a few things: specifically, the furniture for Professor Lupin’s office.

While there were spare items in the storage room or the Room of Requirement, Kyle ...

Chapter 369: Dumbledore’s Punishment

“Damn it, the Fire-Making Charm! He’s lying—that was clearly Fiendfyre!”

Snape was practically roaring in the Headmaster’s office. “Could a Fire-Making Charm possibly be that powerful? Or does that fool Lupin think we’re too ignorant to tell the difference between a Fire-Making Charm and the Fiend...

Chapter 82: The Unusual Citadel

After listening to Willas' words, Lynd couldn't help but sigh. He had anticipated trouble but hadn’t expected Willas to be the one to bring it.

Lynd hesitated briefly, then said, “Lord Willas, I just turned sixteen last month, only a few years older than you.”

Willas froze at this, his expression awkward. �...

Chapter 81: Malora Hightower

The Black Stone Fortress was originally constructed as a military stronghold, so it was no surprise that its facilities were primarily utilitarian. The small garden within it had been added later, and it was, by any measure, modest. After witnessing the grandeur of the gardens in Highgarden and the High Tower, this one could ...

Chapter 368: Cedric and Fred

Amidst the noisy hubbub, Professor Lupin had to raise his voice and call out through the door, “Come back here—you haven’t received your homework yet!”

Whether it was his imagination or not, as soon as he said that, the students bolted even faster, and a few seconds later, they had dashed down the stairs and van...

Chapter 367: Fwooper and Hallucinations

Because the professor changed every year, the classroom for Defence Against the Dark Arts also changed each time. Last year, Lockhart had chosen a large, sunny classroom to display his numerous self-portraits on the walls. Professor Lupin, however, had no such self-portraits—barely any photos of himself at all—so he simpl...

Chapter 366: Griselda Marchbanks

The next day was Thursday. After breakfast, Kyle and Kanna walked out of the Great Hall together, ready to head to Transfiguration class. When they arrived at the classroom, they found Professor McGonagall already waiting outside the door, effectively blocking their entrance.

“Miss Prince, would you please go in first...

Chapter 365: Give Us One Reason Not to Kill You

In the afternoon, they had Ancient Runes. This year, Professor Babbling still hadn't managed to convince Dumbledore to let her combine multiple grades into one class. This frustrated her, and she made sure the students felt it, too.

"How do different arrangements of the runes affect the completed symbol?" she asked, sta...

Chapter 80: The High Tower

In the following days, Willas spent most of his time with Lynd. Even during meetings to discuss matters related to the trip to Godsgrace, he would summon Lynd to join discussions with the young, influential nobles of The Reach.

Although Willas included him in these meetings, Lynd understood that his advice, even if offe...

Chapter 79: Willas Tyrell

Willas stared at Glory, crouching on the ground, for a long time, lost in thought and completely forgetting the real reason he had come.

Margaery and Loras crouched on either side of him, cautiously reaching out to touch Glory now and then. Each time, it avoided their hands and bared its teeth in warning, causing them t...

Chapter 78: The Secrets of Highgarden

After nightfall, Vortimer left the Goldenrose Courtyard. Lynd instructed Jon to find some friends in Highgarden and wait around for further instructions.

Once Jon had left, Lynd instructed the guards not to disturb him, closed the door, and lay down on the bed, settling into a comfortable sleeping position. As always, h...

Chapter 77: The Queen of Thorns

While Lynd and Vortimer discussed matters in their room in the Goldenrose Courtyard, Lynd was also a topic of conversation in the Highgarden gardens.

The noblewomen had departed at the command of the Queen of Thorns, leaving only the Tyrell family and a few trusted handmaids. Once the candles were lit and the garden bon...

Chapter 76: The Envious Vortimer

Although Lady Alerie Hightower didn't feature prominently in the book, Lynd was deeply impressed by her character. This woman had lived with her sharp-tongued mother-in-law, the Queen of Thorns, for decades, yet her demeanor and character remained unaffected. Truly, her resilience and temperament were beyond imagination.

Chapter 75: The Rose and the Goldenflower

Vortimer instructed Jon to wait in the guard room by the door for a moment before leading Lynd deeper into the castle alone.

“Lord Vortimer, what's going on? Why is everyone...” As they entered a maze of trees, a middle-aged man in armor emerged from one of the pathways, his tone serious as he walked toward them. 2025-01-14 14:01:04 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 74: The Great Commotion

Highgarden is situated on a hill by the Mander River, its structure rising tier upon tier along the incline. The castle was not built all at once; it evolved over thousands of years, beginning when House Gardener first settled there. The most recent additions were made centuries ago when House Tyrell assumed control. By then,...

Chapter 73: On the Road

The longboat Bert arranged for Lynd was the largest available, crewed by a seasoned captain and sailors who had traversed the Mander River countless times. While they could not claim to know every detail of the waterway, they were confident in navigating its safest paths.

Bert initially planned to send Lynd and his comp...

Chapter 72: Temporary Leave from Tumbleton

After confirming that the full body armor of the Banished Knight, devoid of runes, could still provide him with significant support, Lynd decided to stop testing it further. Following some strenuous exercise, he found that he felt no fatigue at all, and his breathing remained steady. He expressed his gratitude to Varys with a...

Chapter 71: The Banished Knight Set

"What's going on?" Lynd looked at the frozen corpse and couldn't help but ask Varys, who stood beside him.

"That's what I want to ask you, my lord," Varys replied calmly, meeting Lynd's gaze.

Lynd frowned. "What do you mean?"

Varys withdrew his hand from his sleeve and pointed to something beneath the corpse...

Chapter 70: Two Letters

“The reply from Highgarden has arrived,” Nymeria said, beaming as she walked through the door and placed the letter in Lynd's hands.

Six days had passed since the letter announcing the discovery of the silver mine was sent by ship to Highgarden. As before, the raven had carried it to Bitterbridge, where a rider then...

Chapter 69: The Impact of Taking in the Wildling Tribes

After entering the stone hall, Lynd and the others were seated in the gallery. Someone brought out food and handed it to them.

Looking at the food before him, Lynd glanced at Gravel Tribe Chief Kav with a slightly surprised expression. Kav, sounding impatient, said, “Although you call us wildlings, we are not wildling...

Chapter 68: Confident and Unyielding

Gravel Chief Kav’s actions naturally drew Lynd’s attention. Despite the noise around him, Lynd managed to catch Kav’s order to his subordinates, deducing that Wenda the White Fawn was imprisoned.

Realizing this, Lynd decided not to wait for the worship ceremony to conclude, knowing full well that such rituals ofte...

Chapter 67: The Glory of the Old Gods

The Mander flows gently for most of its course, but beyond Tumbleton, as one travels upstream, the river becomes narrower and faster, punctuated by numerous waterfalls, making navigation by boat impossible. This transformation is due to the steeply rising mountains near Tumbleton, as if an underground giant were pushing the e...

Chapter 364: The Hippogrif

"Hagrid, isn't your first lesson starting soon?" Kyle asked, approaching Hagrid, who was busy working in a paddock near the edge of the Forbidden Forest. "How are you getting on?"

"I'm so nervous," Hagrid replied with a wide grin, carrying a wooden frame in his arms. "I got up at five this morning to make sure everythin...

Chapter 363: Defense Against the Dark Arts Worth Anticipating

Trying to alter the trajectory of the Summoning Charm turned out to be much harder than Kyle had anticipated. By the end of Charms class, he had only managed to make the quill stop about half a meter in front of him instead of coming directly to his hand. Determined to master it, he decided to keep practicing in the next clas...

Chapter 362: The Summoning and Banishing Charm

Half an hour before her first lesson, Hermione followed Kyle’s advice and went to see Professor McGonagall. Kyle didn’t know if she would choose to keep using the Time-Turner or take only the classes she could attend without it. But judging by the thoughtful, conflicted look on her face when she returned, he guessed it wo...

Chapter 361: Hermione’s Confusion

Dumbledore’s announcement at the feast reignited interest in the dragon badges from the train, bringing Kyle another wave of eager customers the next morning.

“It really works!” a Gryffindor student was saying to his friend in the corridor. “If the headmaster hadn’t mentioned the Dementors, I wouldn’t have e...
