Chapter 41: The Knighting Ceremony

Lynd was not surprised that Varys knew about the girl he had saved. After all, Varys had his little birds scattered throughout King's Landing and was likely aware of even the most trivial details—perhaps even what color Lord Tywin's underwear was tonight, not to mention Lynd’s own affairs.

So, instead of looking startled, Lynd simply nodded calmly and said, “So it was her. She is indeed pitiful, but she survived.”

Varys, however, was caught off guard by Lynd's composure. A...

Chapter 316: Diverting Disaster

Although Cedric had acted quickly, he’d gravely underestimated the situation—or perhaps he hadn’t realized just how popular he truly was. As the first Hufflepuff Seeker in ages, known for his looks, gentleness, and patience, Cedric was practically a celebrity at Hogwarts.

He had barely made it a hundred meters from the Great Hall when five dwarves came sprinting toward him, their golden wings flapping with each hurried step, which added a comical touch that only deepened his horro...

Chapter 315: Valentine’s Day Surprise

“Seriously…” Mikel said, setting down his finished Potions homework. He thought for a moment before continuing, “I feel like they’re all a bit… crazy.”

Kyle blinked, surprised. “What do you mean?”

“Do you know what they’re always going on about?” Mikel sighed, putting his quill aside. “Every time I’m in their common room, I hear someone loudly talking about who the Heir of Slytherin might be—and a lot of them say they want to help ‘purify’ the sch...

Chapter 314: Agent Mikel

The Christmas holidays flew by, and soon students were returning to Hogwarts by train, filling the castle once more with lively noise and laughter. After the break, the fear of the recent attacks seemed to have faded slightly. Most students were laughing and joking, seemingly less haunted by worry than before.

Perhaps they believed the professors had taken care of the monster in the Chamber of Secrets over the holidays. At least, that’s what Lockhart had claimed.

Lockhart was, s...

Chapter 313: Discovery in the Chamber

Although Harry and Ron hadn’t told anyone about Hermione’s hospitalization, her absence soon drew the attention of several Gryffindors. Everyone had grown accustomed to her constant presence in the common room, always nudging Ron and Harry to stay on top of their homework. The sudden silence felt odd.

At first, Ron tried to deny knowing anything, but his siblings knew him too well and quickly managed to get the truth out of him.

“So, Hermione’s in the Hospital Wing?” Fre...

Chapter 312: Catwoman Hermione

After emerging from the Headmaster’s office on the eighth floor, Kyle was in a buoyant mood, greeting every portrait he passed. Hogwarts was truly full of surprises. Who would have thought that on an otherwise ordinary Christmas, he would encounter the legendary Ashes of Nirvana—and even receive a small vial of them?

It felt like a dream.

Kyle didn’t know exactly how long it took Fawkes to undergo rebirth, but he was sure it wasn’t a short period. Dumbledore’s eyes had r...

Chapter 311: Fawkes’s Gift

“In that case, it's kind of a good thing.”

George blinked at Ron’s words. “Maybe you’ll even get a nice report card at the end of the school year.”

“Don’t gloat,” Ron yawned.

“What are you two talking about?”

Just then, Harry had come out of the dormitory, and Fred and George quickly changed the subject. Teasing Ron was all well and good, but they'd never do it in front of Harry.

Harry walked over, greeting everyone with a grin. “Merry Chr...

Chapter 310: A Day Trip with Gryffindor

“The most important thing about Transfiguration is that your belief must be strong, and you must have a clear understanding of your target,” Kyle said.

In the Room of Requirement, he transformed a table into a small, half-meter-tall stone statue, then controlled it to slice the apple in front of him cleanly in half. A short distance away, Hermione diligently took down his words, adding even more detailed notes.

In truth, Kyle had originally planned to check on the Venomous Ten...

Chapter 309: A Quiet Christmas

Christmas was approaching, but the mood in the castle was far from festive. The attacks on Nearly Headless Nick and the Bloody Baron had turned the already tense atmosphere into one of genuine fear. Even the ghosts couldn’t escape the dread... What kind of terrible force could harm someone who was already dead?

Students were desperate to leave, and even those who had previously planned to stay for the holidays were now begging their professors to let them go. There was a rush to secur...

Chapter 40: The Red Keep Banquet

The Banquet at the Red Keep was originally scheduled to take place after the Tournament concluded, but King Robert decided to hold it early. Some joked that the king had been beaten so thoroughly the previous day that he’d mistaken the team competition for the Tournament’s final event.

Despite their disdain for the poorly timed gathering, the nobles attended dressed in their finest, unwilling to risk being outshone. This banquet was not merely a drinking party but a key opportunity ...

Chapter 39: Schemes Fulfilled

Hearing Lynd's audacious words, Garlan and Vortimer were stunned into silence. They exchanged incredulous glances before turning back to Lynd, staring at him as if he were a creature from a fable. The very idea of forging armor out of Valyrian steel was beyond belief. Weapons crafted from the rare metal were prized treasures across Westeros, with only a few notable examples like House Stark’s Ice or House Tarly’s Heartsbane. But armor? That was entirely unh...

Chapter 308: Snape’s Discovery – Two Kyles?

Eighth Floor, Headmaster's Office.

After seeing Harry out, Dumbledore reached over to gently stroke Fawkes, who had just risen from the ashes, his feathers sparse and wrinkled.

“He’s not telling the truth,” Snape said, stepping forward. “I can tell he’s hiding something… and he’s known he was a Parseltongue for years, yet he’s kept silent about it.”

Snape had been present in the Headmaster's Office when Harry arrived, and he was clearly unsatisfied.

Chapter 307: The Third Attack

Hagrid rarely asked them for help, so the group didn’t hesitate to agree. Thankfully, the Beast Repelling Charm was a straightforward spell. Though the work was extensive, with the six of them pitching in, they managed to complete it by evening. They even received heartfelt thanks from Hagrid.

Cedric and Kyle were gifted a handful of large Fwooper feathers, perfect for quills. Kanna and Cho each received a small pouch for hair accessories or coins; though a bit rough in craftsmanship,...

Chapter 306: Hagrid’s Request, the Beast Banishing Charm

Because of what happened at the Duelling Club, Kyle found himself the center of attention for the next several days. Wherever he went, students whispered and stared. The sight of the stone statue wielding a massive axe had left a deep impression on everyone.

When people brought up the Duelling Club, their first thoughts weren't of Lockhart, who had floundered embarrassingly, nor of the array of Charms on display. Instead, they pictured the stone axe raised high in the air. It was the fi...

Chapter 305: An Angry Snape

As Kyle stepped onto the stage, cheers erupted from the crowd. Fred and George were the loudest, waving a Quidditch-style banner they’d whipped up in record time. Cedric and Cho added to the chaos, appearing with a confetti gun and sending colorful bits of paper showering over the stage.

Kyle, feeling a mix of pride and embarrassment, wished he could pretend he didn’t know them.

“Alright, Kyle, no need to panic!” said Lockhart with a forced air of confidence. “Here, I’...

Chapter 38: Littlefinger’s Concerns

The second day of the group competition was supposed to be the highlight of the tournament: the jousting competition among the Knights. In the past, this would undoubtedly have been the event everyone anticipated most. However, after witnessing the spectacular group competition the previous day, the jousting now seemed underwhelming in comparison.

Even ordinary folk found it lackluster, and King Robert, usually a fervent supporter of tournaments, did not attend. Of course, his absence m...

Chapter 37: The Dragon Rune Necklace

Looking at the broken cup, Lynd glanced at his hands again. A realization struck him, prompting him to carefully test his body’s condition using several methods. The results surprised him.

While absorbing and organizing the memories of the Banished Knight, he had also unknowingly completed a Dragon Communion Ritual, enhanced by the cheat. This ritual, though not granting him particularly powerful supernatural abilities, had significantly increased his physical strength. Lynd felt conf...

Chapter 304: Kyle’s Most Feared Opponent

A hush fell over the Great Hall as everyone watched the stage, where Lockhart and Snape stood facing each other, wands at the ready.

“First, we must observe proper dueling etiquette. It’s essential,” Lockhart announced grandly.

The two bowed—or rather, Lockhart did. He embellished his movements with extravagant hand flourishes, looking more like he was performing for an audience than preparing for a duel. Kyle, who had seen Professor Flitwick demonstrate proper dueling eti...

Chapter 303: Lockhart’s Dueling Club

Even Kyle hadn’t expected the little gift he gave Neville to become such a hit. Thanks to Neville’s enthusiastic word-of-mouth promotion, more and more students started showing up, eager to buy what they were calling “Anti-Demon Crystals.” It was a name they had invented themselves, but the mystique around it only fueled demand.

Fred and George were astonished. The next day at lunch, they tracked Kyle down at the Hufflepuff table and flanked him.

“Kyle, didn’t you say ...

Chapter 302: A Small Profit

By Monday morning, news that Professor Charity Burbage had been attacked and taken to the Hospital Wing had spread throughout the castle.

The school had suspended all Muggle Studies classes until a replacement professor could be found. Marcus Flint, recently discharged from the Hospital Wing, claimed he’d seen the professor being brought there on Saturday night. Everyone who heard was shocked—it was a professor, after all!

Rumors spread like wildfire, and suspicions ran high. ...

Chapter 301: Professor Attacked

Despite Harry's insistence that his arm was fine and he could leave, Madam Pomfrey insisted he stay overnight in the Hospital Wing.

"Your arm is all bent out of shape!" she exclaimed. "If you want to be able to use your wand again, you need to make sure it's fully healed before you go."

So Harry stayed.

The Gryffindor team came by in the evening, bringing cakes, sweets, and several bottles of Pumpkin Juice, as though they were about to throw a lively party. Unsurprisingly, t...
