Slughorn did not answer; he seemed to be deep in thought, or perhaps confused.
The effect of alcohol was taking hold of him. Harry's mention of his mother earlier had stirred something deep within Slughorn’s heart, causing him to open up. Lily had once been his favorite student, and Slughorn attached great importance ...
2025-04-30 12:55:50 +0000 UTC View PostThis time, Elaine tipped her head back and finished the mug of milk mixed with alcohol in one go. She swayed slightly, then reached out toward the bottle on the table.
Evan stopped her and nudged her under the table with his foot, telling her she couldn’t drink any more!
Elaine lifted her head and looked at Evan...
2025-04-30 12:55:47 +0000 UTC View PostIn the back garden, Evan and Harry stopped at a distance.
Elaine stepped a bit closer to Aragog, saw the hairy, massive head and eight grotesquely curled spider legs, then immediately stuck out her tongue in disgust and backed away.
Slughorn, on the other hand, followed Hagrid to the spider's head and looked at it...
2025-04-30 12:55:44 +0000 UTC View PostIf it were in the past, let alone inviting him, Slughorn would have “bolted like a leopard” the moment he saw the two of them.
"Is it really that surprising he accepted the invitation? I actually think we succeeded the moment he heard how much the venom was worth in Galleons," said Elaine dismissively. "So greedy ...
2025-04-30 12:55:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe three quietly left the castle. In the thick twilight, the fresh air was mixed with the pleasant smell of grass.
Harry did not go directly to Hagrid’s. After walking out of the castle gate, he suddenly said that he wanted to pass the vegetable patch on his walk.
“Let’s not go to Hagrid’s just yet. I can...
2025-04-30 12:55:39 +0000 UTC View PostSlughorn cautiously took a small sip of the Metamorph Potion and instantly turned into Evan.
His robes suddenly became too big and slipped off, and his entire body shrank rapidly, and an "Evan" appeared.
In disbelief, Slughorn touched his own body. Before the stunned expression on his face had even faded, he quick...
2025-04-24 10:32:14 +0000 UTC View Post“Do we really need to use Felix Felicis?” Harry hesitated. The thought of that little golden bottle had hovered on the edges of his imagination for some time; vague and unformulated plans had been fermenting in the depths of his brain, unacknowledged except during dreams or the twilight time between sleeping and waking. ....
2025-04-24 10:32:12 +0000 UTC View PostSince the plan to turn into girls failed, many things had changed.
First of all, Malfoy had become more cautious. Now it was nearly impossible to follow him to the Room of Requirement, even turning into a cuter girl wouldn’t help.
Secondly, Harry and Ron had become increasingly anxious and uncertain.
Ron, ...
2025-04-24 10:32:10 +0000 UTC View PostHarry reacted quickly, but Malfoy was even faster. By the time he ran to the wall, the door to the Room of Requirement had disappeared. He watched the door disappear, anger taking over his brain. Harry kicked the wall hard, his toe hurt badly, but he didn't care. He knew he had missed a good opportunity.

2025-04-24 10:32:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe most troublesome thing about Moaning Myrtle was that she was always in a bad mood — self-pitying, always feeling sorry for herself, and her eyes were like leaky faucets, ready to gush tears at any moment. She loved talking about unpleasant things and bringing others down with her gloomy mood. She was like this even befo...
2025-04-24 10:32:03 +0000 UTC View PostHarry knew what an Inferius looked like, and he also knew what a ghost looked like, but he didn't know how to express the difference between the two in technical terms.
“Er — well — ghosts are transparent —” he said. "Inferi..."
“Oh, very good,” interrupted Snape, his lip curling. “Yes, it is easy ...
2025-04-24 10:32:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe key point was that it was already suspicious enough for Malfoy to be seen with an unfamiliar girl. Wasn’t his girlfriend Pansy Parkinson? Given his current position, was it really appropriate for him to be interacting so much with younger girls? And to even take one of them to the Room of Requirement — was that really...
2025-04-24 10:31:56 +0000 UTC View PostSince Dumbledore wanted them to continue only after obtaining that memory, then they needed to get it as soon as possible.
Evan thought of a few ways. It was unlikely to use tough measures on Slughorn, so he needed to use a soft tactic: make him happy, so that he could hand over his memory.
There were many ways to...
2025-04-24 10:31:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the latest chapters.
I wanted to take a moment to share a personal milestone: This weekend, my daughter is getting married. It’s a joyful time for our family, and I couldn’t be prouder.
I want to thank each and every one of you. Your continued suppo...
2025-04-14 22:08:58 +0000 UTC View Post“Of some kinds of magic,” Dumbledore corrected him quietly. “Of some, Tom. Of others, you remain ... forgive me ... woefully ignorant."
For the first time, Voldemort smiled. It was a taut leer, an evil thing, more threatening than a look of rage.
"The same old argument," he said softly. "You are still the sa...
2025-04-14 21:59:10 +0000 UTC View PostThis time he disappeared for a full ten years, during which no one, except Voldemort himself, knew what he had been doing.
From the few clues that remained, it could be inferred that, following the traditions of ancient wizards, he had traveled the world, concealing his identity and visiting many places. But Voldemort d...
2025-04-14 21:59:04 +0000 UTC View PostEvan and Harry seemed to have come at a very bad time — what had Dumbledore and Professor Trelawney been doing in the office just now?
The atmosphere was a bit tense. It was Professor Trelawney who first noticed the two of them, her expression a mixture of sudden realization and aggrieved indignation. “Aha! So this ...
2025-04-14 21:58:59 +0000 UTC View PostAt that moment, Harry was probably thinking about him and Ginny — things were quickly developing in the direction he had hoped for!
That night, after Evan and Elaine returned from visiting Harry, they heard from Hermione about the argument between Ginny and Dean...

2025-04-09 04:15:25 +0000 UTC View PostHarry was furious about the missed goal.
McLaggen had a hundred reasons to have stopped it, if he'd just focused a little and stopped worrying about what everyone else was doing.
“McLaggen, will you pay attention to what you’re supposed to be doing and leave everyone else alone!” bellowed Harry, wheeling aro...

Let’s start with the final result. Gryffindor lost to Hufflepuff by a large margin, setting the biggest score difference in recent years; both Harry and McLaggen ended up in the school hospital; and, McLaggen, the c...

2025-04-09 04:15:07 +0000 UTC View PostHagrid hesitated and moved his large feet restlessly.
What on earth had he overheard?
Hagrid's demeanor piqued Evan’s curiosity as well.
"Well?" Harry urged.
“Well — I jus’ heard Snape sayin’ Dumbledore took too much fer granted an’ maybe he — Snape — didn’ wan’ ter do it anymore ...
