"What is so special about a mere fugitive that it’s drawn the attention of a Speaker, if you don't mind me asking?"
Rufus Scrimgeour was the first to speak after Maverick had explained the reason for their gathering. Beside him, Bones and Shacklebolt appeared to be thinking the same thing, glancing curiously in Maverick’s direction.
"I'm glad you asked," Maverick replied. "But before I answer, Rufus, would you mind telling us what you think of Sirius Black—and the case aga...

Over the next two weeks, Maverick remained at Hogwarts, making no evening departures for outside matters.
Classes went on as usual, and aside from the dreadful creatures still flying about the school, a sense of calm settled over the castle.
That was, until the third weekend.
The trials to select the school’s All-Star team had been progressing smoothly under the supervision of Steven and Professor McGonagall. But on the second day, during the mock matches to narrow down the...

If looks could kill, Peter would have been dead a hundred times by now. Seeing that the two he once called best friends hadn’t believed a word of his lies, he could only wail, counting the seconds.
“No… no—please!” Snot oozed down his rat mouth like a broken pipe, mixing with the spit and tears as he blubbered for mercy. “My friends… please, it’s me… it’s Peter!”
And all of it—the whimpering, the pleading, the pitiful little gasps—just bounced off the ...

“There were witnesses who claimed they saw you die, Peter…” Lupin said, not knowing what to feel. “A whole street full of them…”
His emotions were in complete turmoil. Yes, Sirius had told him a completely different story from the one that everybody knew about that day. And even though it sounded much more believable, and logical in every sense, he still hadn’t been able to fully accept it.
After all, they had been brothers once—James, Sirius, Peter, and him. He ...

"There’s no need to be so nervous, Remus," Maverick said with a faint smile, noting how tense the man looked. "I just want to ask a couple of questions on a certain matter... nothing too heavy."
Despite the worn, patchy robes he still wore, Maverick could see that Lupin’s complexion had improved considerably since two weeks ago. At the very least, he no longer looked like someone unsure of where his next meal would come from.

The next morning, with the sun just starting to rise behind a curtain of gloomy clouds and a cool breeze drifting through the castle halls, Maverick left his office and made his way toward the Great Hall for breakfast, feeling rather pleased with himself.
It had been a very successful evening, all things considered. Even managed to make it back in time for today’s classes and still squeeze in an hour of sleep. And on his way down, he happened to overhear bits of gossip from yesterday...

London was draped in its usual moody grey, the kind that made everything seem a little sleepier than it really was this time of year. A thin mist clung to the rooftops, and a breeze drifted through the streets—not quite cold, but just brisk enough to suggest that summer had packed up and was ready to leave.
And hundreds of metres above the city, flickers of orange light suddenly began to shimmer against the clouds. They danced for a second, then spun together into a perfect circle, g...

The start of every academic year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was usually full of life and excitement. This year, however, the presence of Dementors patrolling the outer grounds changed everything, casting a heavy gloom over the castle.
It was late afternoon, and if this had been any other year, the castle grounds would have been scattered with students gathered in cheerful little groups. Today, however, Maverick saw only a few here and there, and most had returned to ...

Every year, Hogwarts enrolls an average of a hundred or so students, and this year was no exception. As Maverick went through the roster of this year’s 107 new freshman, he noticed a name that piqued his interest.
Astoria Greengrass—the younger sister of Daphne Greengrass. He had seen this little witch a few times during his visits to the Greengrass manor, but at the time, he hadn’t really paid her much attention.
Seeing her in his class now, he suddenly remembered from th...

The start-of-term feast was just minutes away, and the Great Hall hummed with quiet anticipation. Floating candles glowed softly overhead, their warm light dancing across the polished golden plates set neatly on the long house tables. Everything was in place, and all that remained was for the students to arrive and bring the hall back to life.
At the high table, Maverick settled in among his colleagues, exchanging light conversation as the rest of the staff gradually filled their seats...

The sun hung low behind a blanket of thick grey clouds, casting the castle grounds in a soft, dull light. Shadows stretched long over the stone walls, and the air carried the crisp dampness of a late afternoon threatening rain.
Maverick had just appeared above Hogwarts and was descending toward the tower that housed his office when he suddenly paused mid-flight, catching a faint sound in his ear.

There were two reasons why Maverick had chosen to travel to Hogwarts via the Express today. First, he wanted to see whether events would truly unfold as they had in the original story. And second—because Jean was on board.
He would make absolutely sure nothing happened to her. If she lost control, there was no telling what the consequences might be, and Maverick wasn’t about to leave that to chance.
Aside from that, he had no intention of interfering with the Ministry offici...

The Hogwarts Express let out a loud hiss, followed by a long whistle, and began its journey with a heavy lurch, its wheels clacking into a steady rhythm as it pulled away from the station.
Inside the train, faces pressed up against the glass as windows flew open with a rattle of old frames and creaky hinges. Little hands waved out eagerly—some with big smiles, others, mostly the first-years, trying hard to hold back a few tears.
Harry, seated beside the window, slid the glass ...

September 1st, 1993
The morning sky over London was a cool grey, brushed with streaks of pale gold where the sun had begun to break through the clouds. A light breeze carried the scent of autumn leaves and chimney smoke, brushing gently against coats and jackets as people walked along the streets.
Cars moved steadily through the narrow roads, buses hissed to a stop beside crowded pavements, and people hurried in every direction, holding coffee cups or checking their watches.

Time passed, and soon the remaining weeks of the summer holidays were drawing to a close.
True to his word, Maverick crafted a disguise much like the ones he had made for the Stark couple, with some added features to conceal the magical signature. It wasn’t difficult—after all, the alchemical technology wasn’t new. Most ancient family rings had the ability to hide a wizard’s magic, and Maverick only needed to make subtle adjustments to that.

Islington, London
Not far from a quiet row of Georgian-style townhouses, three figures suddenly appeared in midair, about a hundred meters above the ground. And in that same instant, a magical construct shimmered into existence beneath their feet, catching them as they landed smoothly in perfect balance.
This was supposedly the site of the Black family’s primary residence—known to most as Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place.
In canon, little was revealed about their other ...

London — inside a seemingly ordinary two-storey house in the eastern suburbs.
Bright white light spilled from the ceiling fixtures, illuminating a modest room with pale walls and a white tiled floor. There were no windows. Only two doors—one appeared to lead out, the other, with frosted glass, likely to a bathroom.
Basic furniture filled the room. A narrow wardrobe stood against one wall, with a small dresser beside it and a single chair pushed in close.
The bed was p...

Maverick wasn’t just listening—throughout the entire conversation, he had also been skimming the broken man’s surface thoughts and quietly reading his emotions with his Magical Sense as well.
Sure, he remembered how the events had played out in the original story… but at the end of the day, that was still just a story.
Reality—especially in a universe as much of a chaotic mess as this one—could very well turn out differently. That was exactly why he had made Sirius ...

That... day?

Sirius Black—currently in his Animagus form as a large black English Mastiff—could swear that not even the soul-sucking horrors of Azkaban had startled him this badly.
And that was saying something.
His Animagus form had always granted him heightened senses, enough to detect the presence of nearby magical or non-magical beings, no matter how stealthy they tried to be. That ability had helped him stay at least partially sane in that cursed prison, avo...

The wind rolled in steady from the sea, brushing over the cliffside and rustling the grass. Clouds hung low in the sky, casting a silver hue across the rugged landscape. Below, the ocean heaved with powerful swells, crashing against the base of the cliffs in a deep, distant rhythm.
Suddenly, the natural stillness was broken by a crackle of sparks and a sharp sizzling sound. A portal, edged with glowing orange light, tore open in the middle of the grassy stretch. From it, three figures ...

The next day, after a good night’s rest, Maverick finally brought Harry and Hermione to Edward Garling’s underground base on St. Matthew Island, Alaska.
Not much seems to have changed since his last visit, aside from a few unfamiliar faces—probably new kids Edward had taken under his wing.
The man must have taken in hundreds of witches and wizards over the years, and even though Maverick had only met a handful, he knew one thing for sure—by the time they 'graduated,' e...

Naturally, the car was cloaked in an invisibility enchantment, and a Muggle-Repelling Charm was layered on top, ensuring no one would spot the bizarr...
