Harry easily side-stepped a stunning spell and then ducked slightly to let a disarming charm fly over his head, ruffling his hair.
It was a bit unfair to his opponent, who for once was actually the same age as him, but he was essentially just using this duel, and the tournament in general as a practice ground.
Another step forward. 2025-09-03 09:18:49 +0000 UTC View Post
“I see,” Jessie eventually said from where she was seated on the grass opposite Joey on the northern outskirts of Viridian.
They’d moved here to allow Happiny a less concrete jungle first look at reality. Something she seemed to appreciate as she was happily playing inside the stream gurgling away through the clearing with Joey’s M...

2025-08-26 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHarry was in the library, which in itself wasn't particularly odd. He was in the library often enough, although less than at the beginning of the year. These days he was mostly practising potions with Penny, learning to cast the disillusionment and noise-muffling charms as a combo and finishing up the formal aspects of his word-searching spell. ...
2025-08-25 12:40:47 +0000 UTC View Post'I need a room in which I can practise duelling.' Was the phrase running through Harry's mind on the morning after the sorting. He'd woken up extremely early so that he could slip out of the common room and had made his way to the Room of Requirement.
Once there he stepped through the door that appeared in the wall and gazed appreciatively...
2025-08-25 12:25:37 +0000 UTC View PostHarry stood on platform 9 ¾ wondering what the following year would bring. More Charms, more Occlumency, hopefully, and hopefully some money from the Room of Requirement. It all sort of depended though, on the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
He entered the train and started looking for a compartment. If the new DADA professor was...
2025-08-25 12:24:50 +0000 UTC View PostJames stormed out of the Wizengamot meeting, the red on his face probably not doing amazing things for his colour coordination when one considered the hideous plum that was traditional for the institution. People knew to get out of his way, as his brisk and angry walk was a regular occurrence each time the assembly decided to grace the magical p...
2025-08-25 12:24:05 +0000 UTC View Post"Professor Flitwick," Harry began when he and the Charms master were standing in front of the door to the Dursley home in Surrey. "I've recently started reading up on duelling, and I was wondering if there were any tips you could give me in regards to me perhaps competing in the U17 division."
Flitwick looked at him kindly. "Duelling, Harr...
2025-08-25 12:23:28 +0000 UTC View PostHarry was walking down Diagon Alley, after having finished his purchases and bemoaned the state of his wallet. There were so many interesting things to buy in the Wizarding World, but he was too broke to get them. He was just coming up with a plan on using the Room of Requirement to find some coins when he saw a head of purple loitering about in...
2025-08-25 12:22:53 +0000 UTC View PostVernon heaved a large stack of printing paper into the trunk of their family car. At the same time, Harry carried what must have been an industrial amount of ink.
"Are you sure that's enough paper?" Vernon asked as he looked at the large stack. "Could do with twice that when I was your age attending school. They've really let up, haven't t...
2025-08-25 12:21:52 +0000 UTC View Post"You've always been a bit of an overachiever, huh," was what Vernon had told Harry once he'd divulged the possibility of him skipping ahead one grade in the subject of charms. Petunia had simply nodded and made his favourite meal that day, which was another underwhelming reaction.
Harry had wondered for a moment if he'd spoiled the Dursley...

"Did you get the clothes and the sandals?" Harry hissed as he slid into the seaside changing cabin and suspiciously looked through the slit on the side to double-check that they hadn't been followed. Nothing but sand, sea and sand. Coming to the most deserted part of the beach...
"Finite incantatem," Harry cast at the wooden spoon that he'd animated to dance. It dropped dead onto the table and the next thing Harry did was cast a colour-changing spell at it. He was running through all his spells and seeing if he could cancel them with the cancellation incantation.
"I'm glad you're having fun," Penny grumbled from wh...
2025-08-25 12:18:41 +0000 UTC View PostHarry had thought long and hard about the events that had transpired that fateful night a few days ago. He'd come to the conclusion that he wasn't all that bothered by the whole thing. He'd survived with all his limbs and his mind intact and the perpetrator was dead. He had made himself the promise to not get too involved in dangerous events and...

He almost fell out of h...

There were three potions that Harry was particularly in...
2025-08-25 12:13:49 +0000 UTC View PostHarry was walking down winding corridors lined with paintings towards the Hufflepuff common room, thinking about the fact that if Quirrell and Dumbledore were having a meeting right now, that left two less teachers to come after him if he tried to sneak into the restricted section. The issue of course was that while he was invisible and quiet, t...

He'd decided that he might as well be early to his meeting with Dumbledore and get it out of the way. So he began walking towards the headmaster's office, getting an odd lo...

2025-08-25 12:10:59 +0000 UTC View PostHarry arrived at the abandoned classroom - something that Hogwarts had a lot of - that he and Penny had been using for practice. Perhaps Harry could have simply asked for a room from Slughorn, but he didn't want to waste his favours on something like that. He'd much rather have the copying spell that Slughorn had used, which he would hopefully g...
2025-08-25 12:09:24 +0000 UTC View Post"I've been thinking," Harry started. He, Cedric and Penny were hanging out in the common room before potions class and Harry had a plan.
