Chapter 612: The Truth

Kyle paused mid-step on the staircase as Harry’s voice echoed angrily.

“How could they say such a thing about Sirius?”

Turning toward the sound, Kyle spotted Harry confronting Professor McGonagall.

“Deliberately injuring a student? Suspected Death Eater? How is that even possible? He’s an Order of ...

Chapter 611: The Ignored Umbridge

Sirius was taken away by the Ministry of Magic?

When Kyle first overheard the news, he thought it was some sort of joke. But as more fifth years joined the conversation, the truth of it became undeniable. Even the Gryffindor fifth years were buzzing about it, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione hadn’t even come to t...

Chapter 204: The Merchant Woman of Myr

After leaving Bello Town, Lynd stopped in a dense forest to change his clothes and equipment. From his chest, he retrieved and donned the golden lion armor of Dragon Hunter Ornstein and his dragon-hunting spear.

With the final clasp of his leg armor secured and the lion-helm placed over his head, Lynd had now fully assu...

Chapter 203: A Familiar Face in a Foreign Land - Borrowing Money

The news that Lynd Tarran, the Lord of Summerhall, had unified the Stepstones Islands spread swiftly across Westeros. However, it caused little stir among the common folk. After all, most had no idea where the Stepstones were, let alone their significance.

But for the lords and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, this event c...

Chapter 610: Sirius Has Been Taken Away?

Kyle quickly came to understand why Sirius was so popular among the students at Hogwarts.

For the students, the duels Sirius offered—highly interactive and freeform—were far more exciting than sitting in a classroom and taking notes. These lessons also played to Sirius’ strengths. While his teaching ability wasn�...

Chapter 609: He Gave Far Too Much

The first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the term was with Sirius Black. For many students, it was a novelty—they had never had the same professor for the subject two years in a row. Of course, this was only true for students below sixth year; last year, Moody had taught them.

Technically, Sirius was the sixth...

Chapter 608: The Dismissal of Dumbledore

For the first few days of the school year, a peculiar atmosphere hung over the castle.

The most obvious sign was the influx of owls at breakfast. Every morning, a flood of letters arrived, far more than usual. Typically, this time of year was filled with chatter and excitement as students shared holiday stories and laug...

Chapter 607: The Start-of-Term Feast

During the journey following the feast, apart from routine inspections of the train carriages, the conversations consistently circled back to Moody’s attack and the Death Eaters.

Everyone speculated whether there would be a change in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Would Sirius teach the subject alone thi...

Chapter 202: Unexpected Incident

It had been several days since Daenerys first laid eyes on the Cannibal. Every day, she would seek out Lynd and plead with him to summon the dragon again, staring at it up close as if she could never get enough.

As for Viserys, the day he first saw the Cannibal had been disastrous for him. Losing all sense of reason, he...

Chapter 201: Compensation Gift

“Although this may have been the personal action of your fleet commander, it does not justify your alliance with pirates to attack Godsgrace Island. The losses you have caused me are very real. Simply brushing it off as a misunderstanding is far too convenient.”

In the courtyard of a manor outside the port of Blacks...

Chapter 606: The Late Weasley Family

The next day, King’s Cross Station was as lively as ever, its platforms bustling with travelers. Among them, a peculiar group of passengers stood out, their attire a bit unconventional, and many of them pushing trolleys topped with large birdcages containing owls of various species.

The newer security guards watched t...

Chapter 605: Seeking Help

After receiving Sirius's assurance, Harry and the others were overjoyed, eagerly anticipating the start of the school year.

Kyle, however, did not return to St. Catchpole Village. Almost everything he needed—homework and other essentials—was packed neatly in his suitcase, which he carried with him at all times. Even...

Chapter 604: Harry’s Decision

In the quiet of nighttime Hogsmeade, a loud cackle of schadenfreude rang out from The Hog’s Head. Moments later, Dumbledore emerged, his face twisted as if he’d just downed a pint of stale Butterbeer.

“Kyle, is this really necessary?” he asked, his tone deliberate and strained. “In truth, Voldemort requires ti...

Chapter 603: Go Be the Minister, Professor

The meeting stretched late into the evening, and it wasn’t until nightfall that the last of the attendees left The Hog's Head, their footsteps heavy with weariness. The sky deepened into a rich, dark blue, leaving the bar empty except for Kyle and Dumbledore.

Behind the counter, the barkeep—who had spent the entire ...

Chapter 200: The War for Naval Supremacy

Lynd stood on the captain's command deck of his flagship, the Glory, gazing out at the sea shrouded in thick fog.

The Glory beneath his feet was no longer the original vessel that once bore its name. This was the latest iteration—a massive warship, the only one in the world with five decks and f...

Chapter 199: Battle Preparations

Grey Gallows was the largest island in the Stepstones archipelago. It was the final stop for the Rhoynar people during their great migration, where Nymeria built a town and used it as a foothold to establish contact with Dorne. Eventually, she formed an alliance with House Martell by marrying its then-lord, Mors Martell.

Chapter 602: Dumbledore’s Memory

Hogsmeade was lively, as always, despite the school term not having started yet. The village bustled with activity, its shops all open for business. As the most famous wizarding village in Britain, Hogsmeade wasn’t just a haunt for students but also a destination for alumni and curious visitors drawn by its reputation.

Chapter 601: Changes, and the New Prefects

Kyle stayed for the next few days, drawn not only by the library but also by the food—Mrs. Weasley's cooking was a far cry from the bread and smoked sausages he was used to at home. During this time, he also met many new people.

There was Kingsley Shacklebolt, a Ministry of Magic employee; Dedalus Diggle, who seemed r...

Chapter 600: Secrets of the Darkest Art

As one of the oldest families in the magical world, the Blacks indeed possessed an extensive collection of books, accumulated over many generations.

It was rumored that during Phineas Black's tenure as headmaster of Hogwarts, several rare books mysteriously vanished from the school library. Many suspected that Phineas h...

Chapter 599: The Order of the Phoenix’s Auxiliary Member

“Do you know where Kyle used magic?” George asked, his tone laced with indignation as he looked at Hermione’s stunned expression.

“The Leaky Cauldron. It’s unbelievable!”

“This is impossible!” Hermione exclaimed, shaking her head. “The Trace is designed to detect magical activity in an area, not ...

Chapter 198: Two Uninvited Guests

The Summerhall Tournament lasted for ten days, and in terms of grandeur, it was not far behind the one held in King's Landing.

Over 4,000 people participated in the team competitions, making it almost as large as a small war, while the archery contest saw more than 5,000 archers competing.

As for the jousting tour...

Chapter 197: Giving Birth Is Like Going to the Privy

Putting aside the matter of the Banished Knight’s armor for the time being, Lynd spent the following months by Nymeria’s side, watching as her belly gradually grew.

To ensure Nymeria’s safety, he had Malora and Qyburn put aside their work when she entered her due date, focusing solely on accompanying her and await...

Chapter 598: Returning to 12, Grimmauld Place

Dumbledore didn’t linger long at the Ministry. After exchanging a few words with Kyle, he left with Professor McGonagall, disappearing into another corridor.

In the elevator, Mr. Weasley swatted away a paper airplane zooming overhead and leaned toward Kyle. “Why don’t you come over to Grimmauld Place for a bit?”...

Chapter 597: Using Rules to Pressure Others—Who Can’t Do That?

Kyle turned his attention to Amelia Bones. Of all those present, she was the main authority in this interrogation, not Umbridge, who had been the loudest and most disruptive participant.

“I do not object to Mr. Malfoy’s proposal,” Kyle said clearly, “but only on the condition that I receive an official interroga...

Chapter 596: Challenging the Ministry of Magic

Lucius and Karkaroff were deeply worried.

Setting Kyle up and getting him expelled from Hogwarts was the first task Voldemort had assigned them after his resurrection. They had believed it was foolproof and accepted the mission without hesitation.

To ensure success, Lucius had invested heavily, pouring gold into F...

Chapter 595: Reversal

As the three men stood, Chris immediately pieced everything together.

Macnair wasn’t much of a concern, but the other two were a different story.

Karkaroff, still holding the position of Durmstrang’s headmaster, was well-known in the wizarding world, lending credibility to any testimony he gave. And Lucius Mal...

Chapter 196: The God-Gifted Lance

The tournament arena was located southwest of the Town of Redemption. Construction had begun a year ago and was only completed a few months prior. It was originally intended to host a tournament once the Miracle Fleet had secured full control over the Sea of Dorne.

However, the tournament had been repeatedly delayed due...

Chapter 195: Daisy Resigns

“Tilan from the Miracle Harbor Female Battalion has completed the loyalty trial. Issue an appointment document for her to return to Miracle Harbor and take over Dacey's position.”

In the study of the castle, Lynd glanced at the report in his hand and gave the order to Mus before asking, “Is there anything else tod...

Chapter 594: The Sudden Interrogation

By the time Kyle was finished at the Department of Mysteries, the Ministry had opened for business. However, Diana wasn’t in a hurry to let Chris take Kyle away just yet.

“Give me your wand,” she said.

Kyle, a little puzzled, pulled his wand from his pocket and handed it over.

Diana held the wand in he...

Chapter 593: The Wand’s Power of Choice

Looking at the stone archway in front of him, Kyle couldn’t shake a sense of familiarity.

Oh, right—the Founders.

He remembered the first time he had encountered the Founders in the Chamber of Secrets. The snake-like statues had formed an arch that resembled this one, down to the ripples in the air that looked...
