While extraordinary in many ways, many ignore their unnatural strength and unmatched affinity to fire in favour of their nearly miraculous tears.Their tears are an extraordinary ingredient because of their rarity and unique characteristics. As with spells, they hold power because of their sincere intent, which means their…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

14.Samhain
31st of October, Thursday Magic was wonderful! A whole new world filled with what felt like infinite possibilities. Yet, for all its differences, it was no different from what was called the muggle world. Hermione was friendless two months later, which wasn't particularly new. She was the top points earner in Gryffindor, but very few of her housemates were particularly interested in activities like studying! That nasty duel between Longbottom and Lestrange had been a chilling yet…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

46.Interlude-Back to School
The first months of 1993Amelia Bones "I decided to apply out of concern for the children and the school, not because I want to fight or scheme, headmaster Dumbledore," Amelia had said. "I do not want to hear of, let alone join, any borderline illegal associations. My elder brother and father did, and it only got them an early grave. Frankly, I don't trust you, especially after last year's fiasco with Petrov and Quirrell's death." The old warlock didn't seem offended; on the contrary, the twinkle in…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

25.Explosive Consequences
1st of June 1992, Monday His nightmares continued. Once or twice a week, Harry would awaken in a cold sweat. Compared to his previous life, the dreams were painless and foggy, and he couldn't remember anything. Except for a pair of malevolent red eyes. Alas, asking Hermione or Dumbledore for help and advice was no longer an option. After consulting with Madam Pomfrey and sifting through the library, he concluded it was just regular nightmares. Even his attempts to clear his mind before sleep with…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

57.Dancing with Ghosts
1st of May 1994, Sunday (Next Day) Juno She felt weak, as if all the strength had drained away from her limbs. ‘Textbook case of Magical Exhaustion,’ her mind supplied helpfully. Her throat felt dry, like she had swallowed a mouthful of ash. It tasted like it, too. Birds were chirping in the distance, but her ears found the noise irksome. Then, the memories returned with full force, and she cursed herself inwardly. She should have used her Portkey instead of fighting. The next…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

4.Search
How in Merlin's saggy pants could he have forgotten about Hedwig?! Harry rushed towards Eeylops Owl Emporium, or at least tried to, with his heavy trunk slowing him down, despite it being charmed to be lighter. It worked well enough; otherwise, he would not have been able to lift it with the number of books he had purchased. A few older witches looked at him as if he was crazy as he lugged his trunk with his scrawny frame while trying to rush with it. By the time he reached his destination, he was…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

36.Chasing Shadows
2nd of October, Friday, 1992Juno They exchanged bows, and the duel began. Harry stood there, carefully inspecting her; his wand pointed to the ground on the other side of the classroom, less than ten meters separating them. There was a new harshness to him compared to last year. He was taller, and his wiry frame had begun to fill out, yet his mind was still like a motionless pool of water. Juno surpassed him in terms of pure magical power; she could feel it. But it didn't make beating him any less…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

15.Samhain Part 2
31st of October, Thursday The castle's hallways were forebodingly dim, and the air seemed heavy. The old warlock stretched his senses to the limit, but it was for nought - it was not magic. At least none he could feel, despite honing this ability to the limit for many decades. Yet, all that could be attributed to the day - Samhain's Eve was special. The drowsy ambience had most of the portraits already asleep. With a snap of his fingers, all the torches immediately came alive, burning with…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

47.Fairest Stars in the Night
29th of May 1993, SaturdayJuno It was a pleasant late spring day, and the sun shone bright enough to break apart the clouds. The Hogwarts grounds were flush with students milling around or resting in the shade of trees or columns. With the final exams nearing, many had brought their textbooks and notes, studying feverishly. "Why do you bother with Astronomy?" Padma asked. "Didn't you take your O.W.L. for it?" "I did. But I am still attending the second-year exams anyway," she said. "What about…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

26.Of Shattered Delusions
7th of June 1992 Sunday Lucius Malfoy returned home feeling drained. It was just early morning, but wrangling with Albus Dumbledore on the back foot was never easy. His wife was awaiting him in the parlour, garbed in an elegant black velvet dress slashed with silver that brought out her ample chest. The table behind her had a hearty breakfast that made his mouth water. "How is it?" Narcissa asked, impassive, her eyes sliding over to his left sleeve. Lucius rubbed his robed forearm, where the…- 469.5 K • Ongoing
