64. The Promotion
“Alright. I’m going to do it,” Harry said, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly through his mouth.
They were standing in the second Room with their weapons ready. Iris was chewing her bottom lip while her White Sword hung at her side. Her crimson hair and green eyes had a soft luminance to them, making her seem divine and ethereal. The visible shine was due to the massive amount of power coursing through her body, making her vibrant aura ...
63. The Third Task
Harry was pacing back and forth in the Room of Requirement, surprisingly alone since Iris was currently in class. He had just returned from the date with Fleur, where she had blown his mind with her logic and given him the answer to the question that had been haunting him for months.
The answer had always been so simple. It was hilariously simple in hindsight. Kill Voldemort. That was it. The quest never mentioned the name Eos. Only Voldemort. E...

Harry flinched awake, feeling like he’d been just shoved off a cliff and was left freefalling to his death.
His heart still hammered, trying to jump out of his ribcage, stimulated by the sudden ejection. The first thing he saw when his eyes snapped open was the mass of red hair near his face. The familiar scent clogged his nostrils and grounded him in reality. Then the pleasant heat of his sister’s body made itself known, chasing away his grogg...

A lady's voice boomed through the speaker that was attached to the wall just above the door leading into one of the Testing Offices.
Currently, he was sitting on a chair in the waiting area, just like dozens of other people of his age who were here for the first time, for a very important event of their lives, waiting for their turns to enter the equally dreaded as well as anticipated rooms.

I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to update today. Chapter 62 is still far from ready, and I don't think I can complete it today. Honestly, I feel so fucking disappointed in myself for breaking my record of weekly updates. Since I started Patreon last year, I haven't missed a single week. But today will be a first. But I'll make Chapter 62 a big one to compensate for making you wait until next week. Sorry again, hope you all aren't too annoyed, lol.

Harry flew in through the tower window, a pained expression painted over his face.
The death of Illiniya had shaken him to his core, making him second-guess his decision and forcing him to ask the same questions again and again. Was he right in granting her suicidal request? Should he have tried to change her mind instead? Should he have tried pulling her from the depths of despair and hatred? Should he have given her a reason to live again?...

“This time it isn’t even a tie.” Fleur groaned, flopping on the bed headfirst.
Perching on the edge of the mattress, Elitsa sighed and patted her back.
Harry, meanwhile, closed the door behind him and took his usual seat on the desk chair after dragging it near them.

It was early morning, and the sky was still dark.
The air was frigid from the winter chill, and small clumps of grey clouds drifted away as the first ray of the cool sunlight lit up the horizon. There was no warmth to it, and the yellow light was rather weak, but it was better than the gloomy, overcast weather that had earlier overtaken the Highlands.
Even now, days after the rainstorm, puddles scattered around the grounds as a result. 2023-06-18 18:18:14 +0000 UTC View Post

“Where are we going?” Tracey asked as he led her towards the second Room of Requirement, the replica he had made for Daphne; the original was still only being used by the Potter twins, and Iris had made it clear that it was just their place and that no one else was allowed in their secret. He didn’t mind granting her this small selfish desire, knowing the significance of the place where they first had sex an...

The walls of the Great Hall were covered with silver drapes that shimmered under the cool light. And the enchanted ceiling displayed the clear night sky, even when heavy snowfall blanketed the Scottish highlands. If not for the wards, the castle would have been half submerged in white. Such was the intensity of the winter this year.
The students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang had to trudge through this bothersome snow in heavy coats and boots before...

The ground shook.
The black clouds came out of nowhere in the clear night sky. Thundering and rumbling. The disturbing noise akin to an empty stomach of some colossal monster. Who seemed to have woken up from a deep slumber, trying to find prey to satiate its belly.

Which girl should be included?
Lily is already there, of course. She'll add spice and a whole new dynamic in my new fic.

“I have a girlfriend,” Harry said for the hundredth time, barely resisting from snapping at her. He had become the object of infatuation for many girls since the Yule Ball was announced two weeks ago. If it was just cringey second-years and third-years, then he would have somewhat understood. But even the older, mature girls ignored that he was already taken and offered him incentives to change his mind. Some were interested in him bec...

Team B couldn’t see what was happening outside. But the elated screams of the audience and Bagman’s loud enthusiastic commentary sketched a vivid imagery in their minds.
From unbreakable Shield Charms able to withstand dragonfire to a brave silver-haired lady confronting the beast head-on. From fantastic seamless teamwork to genius planning of Team C. Each detail spurred their imagination to construct one impossible picture after another.

“Gather around, children.” Dumbledore ordered, barging into the champion’s tent, the others trailing behind him.
The anticipated day finally came. And it was this day that was supposed to distract the Wizarding World from their new terror.

Iris offered him a sympathetic look as he tiredly slouched into the chair. She willed the room’s light to become brighter and livelier instead of the gloomy shade that it had picked on from his mood.

As she stared at the retreating back of the boy, her panic returned. She had almost relaxed by the end of their conversation, and wouldn't lie that she hadn't enjoyed flirting with him, that she hadn't felt proud seeing his reaction after exposing her breasts.
