Chapter 66

The door closed with a soft click and then:

“What the hell was that!?” Karen exploded, hands thrown open in disbelief, as if she had just watched a fire start out of nowhere.

“You...

Chapter 65

[General Point of View]

“Thanks for inviting me,” Ryan said as he sat down, getting comfortable in the seat across from Lily, beside Rihanna and Karen.

Mary and Karen straightened u...

Chapter 64

[POV Lily Evans]

And even though I liked being home, seeing my parents, Petunia (more or less), and sleeping without having to wake up at six in the morning, a big part of me wanted to go bac...

Chapter 63

4:05 a.m.

Ryan leaned back in his chair and exhaled slowly, as if his soul had been held in suspension all this time and was only now being released. His head throbbed violently, as though hi...

Chapter 62

[HORCRUX No. 5 — Rowena Ravenclaw’s Diadem]

The story is as tragic as it is ridiculous.

Helena Ravenclaw, daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, stole her mother’s diadem because she envie...

Chapter 61

[Voldemort’s Horcruxes / Tom Riddle]

The ink had been dry for weeks. Not because he had stopped thinking about the subject, but because he had nothing new to add. Still, merely looking at t...

Chapter 60

Ryan made the most of the last day of vacation. It was pure productivity.

After Tristin left, he spent the first half of the day fully focused on the system books and on creating the rapid-re...

Chapter 59

Ryan woke with a faint groan, sunk deep into the sheets of his double bed, which still smelled faintly of his lotion, and of a light floral scent that wasn’t his. He opened his eyes slowly, blink...

Chapter 58

Ryan descended the stairs with steady steps, unhurried, his hands in the pockets of his casual robe.

When he reached the dining room, the scene unfolded with quiet composure: his mother sat g...

Chapter 57

Ryan, after reading Lily’s letter and replying to her, thus bringing their conversation to an end, opened the bottom drawer of his desk.

There, wrapped in black suede, lay several broken ri...

Chapter 56: Thor Style

[POV Lily Evans]

I’m in my room, sitting at my desk next to the closed window, since it’s cold. The January sun barely comes through, that pale winter light that doesn’t warm anything b...

Chapter 55

Ryan was at home. It was winter break. Nearly three months had passed since he had given Andromeda the speed-reading glasses.

Three months that had flown by.

The holidays had begun on D...

Chapter 54

[POV Andromeda Black]

I woke up, as always, before everyone else.

Not because I had anything urgent to do, but because I needed those moments of silence before the castle’s noise bega...

Chapter 53

It was Sunday night, October eighth, and it was already past two in the morning.

Ryan was in the living room he had turned into his personal workshop. He was working intently on a pair of dou...

Chapter 52

[POV of Lily Evans]

Filch’s office was exactly as I remembered it:

Dark, damp, thick with old dust and heavy cobwebs in the corners. Though admittedly, much better than the first day ...

Chapter 51

[POV of Lily Evans]

The last class of the day always felt long, but today it was especially slow.

Partly because it was History of Magic, taught by a professor who spoke in slow motion ...

Chapter 50

Ryan sat down beside Andromeda, arranging his things naturally but without invading her space.

There was a moment of comfortable silence before Ryan glanced at the clock on the wall and notic...

Chapter 49: Intimate chat with Andrómeda

Andromeda and Ryan reached the Transfiguration classroom. There were still a little over thirty minutes, and five minutes, to go before class began.

Andromeda walked confidently toward a desk...

Chapter 48: New popularity

Ryan opened his eyes slowly. The faint light of dawn barely filtered through the canopy curtains of his bed, casting soft shadows across the wrinkled sheets.

He could hear the steady rhythm o...

Chapter 47: Andrómeda situation (2)

And at that moment, I noticed that Eliza, the first-year girl, had stood up from her table. Along with her friends, she started hurrying toward Ryan, nervous but eager, as if they were about to gre...

Chapter 46: Andrómeda’s situation (1)

[Pov of Andromeda Black]

I woke up at the same time as always. Seven o’clock sharp. Not because of an alarm, but out of habit. Or maybe discipline. Or because my mind, even...

Chapter 45: School Trial (3)

The Great Hall doors opened again.

Professor Sprout appeared, walking briskly, her robes billowing behind her. Her face was red with indignation, cheeks puffed as if she’d been holding back...

Chapter 44: School Trial (2)

Lily stood up from her seat, straight-backed, her face serious and her green eyes gleaming with a mix of determination and nerves as she met McGonagall’s gaze.

Mary stared at her in astonis...

Chapter 43: School Trial (1)

[Great Hall 7:08 PM]

The doors of the Great Hall opened with a faint creak. Ryan and Lily entered at the same time. They walked side by side, and although it wasn’t intentional, or at least...

Chapter 42: Cooperation with Lily

[General point of view]

Ryan stood still, watching the Hufflepuff common room barrel close behind Eliza.

Silence.

Only him and Lily Evans.

They didn’t move at first. As if...

Chapter 41: Lily Evans

[POV Lily Evans]

I was walking along the fourth floor with a Charms book pressed against my chest, thinking about the last exercise Professor Flitwick had given us. A tedious but interesting ...

Chapter 40: Justice

Ryan closed the door softly behind him. The corridor was almost empty at that hour: neither fully crowded, nor fully silent. A group of Hufflepuffs passed by laughing in the distance, and a few Rav...

Chapter 39: Small interest

When the classroom door closed behind him, Ryan walked off toward his workshop to study, make quills, the usual.

As he walked, he thought. Most of the time, he could predict people just by wa...

Chapter 38: The popular girl

Tristin Jones POV

I left the Great Hall walking quietly alongside Ollivander.

We didn’t say a word. And honestly, I thought it was perfect. After all, it was supposed to be “a priva...

Chapter 37: Gentleman

It was nearly ten in the morning.

Sunday. Hogwarts was breathing more slowly than usual.

Students weren’t getting up at seven like during the week; most were still asleep, or dragging...
