28th of October, WednesdayHarry Monster hunting is a dangerous endeavour, but if there's one advantage wizard folk have over magical beasts, it's preparation. Potions that make you quicker, or your mind-sharper, protective clothing, enchantments to neutralise or even reduce the danger, portkeys to get you out of sticky situations where you can't gather enough focus or magic to apparate–each advantage can save your life, especially in cases when you're venturing into the hunting business alone.At the…- 412.5 K • Ongoing
- 20th of October, TuesdayHarry It became increasingly difficult to swallow his frustration; not even his monotone training and studies provided any relief. Even the anticipation of becoming an animagus dwindled as no thunderstorm arrived, and he still had to religiously do the sunset and sundown chants until one appeared. The tedium had its way of sucking out the joy of things. Regardless, he was no closer to finding Riddle's diary than he was after the Malfoy summer gala. There were no clues besides…

- 12th of September, Saturday, 1992 (6 days later)Divination Teacher's officeHarry Phoenixes are solitary creatures, and only a scant few seem to tolerate the company of select wizards. 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…

- 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…

- Thursday, 3rd of September 1992Juno Bellatrix Black "I shall expect you to follow their every command without fail as if the words were coming from my mouth," Juno said, looking at the squirming Joseph Avery, sandwiched between the Carrow Twins. Yet despite their stony demeanour and unblinking eyes, Hestia and Flora radiated amusement. "It shall be done," the 6th year Slytherin mumbled, bowing deeply before scrambling away as if his arse was on fire. "Must you terrify him so much?" Hestia asked,…

- 1st of September, 1992, TuesdayHarry The first step in hunting venomous beasts is identifying their dwellings and behavioural patterns. An inexperienced hunter might do only that, thinking his preparations are complete and rushing headlong for the kill. Many of those perish even after slaying the beast, for they were bitten in their hubris and had failed to bring the appropriate antidote. Harry almost cringed; the words reminded him of his jaunt in the Chamber of Secrets, far too close for comfort.…

- 21st of August, 1992, ThursdayHarry This was his first holiday, and Harry had to say that, almost a month in, he liked it a lot. He had never been outside Britain before, let alone on any vacation, but it was still great, even if the heat felt unbearable some days. The sun was blisteringly hot, and even the evening barely provided respite. It hadn't rained since his friend and his cousins had arrived, but Harry suspected even the rain would be warm. The most unbearable part was sweating…

- Friday, 24th of July, 1992Harry After over half a year of waiting through red tape and excuses, the Ministry of Magic finally returned his mother's wand to his hands. No wonder nothing got done in Wizarding Britain properly–Snape had been in Azkaban for nine months now, and the investigation had long been closed. "Or perhaps they didn't want to give a child a Traceless wand," Sirius mused outloud before bursting out in laughter. It also elicited a chuckle from Harry; he was just happy to have…

- Tuesday23rd of June 1992Lucius "So, what has been taken?" Narcissa asked, her face unreadable. The Gala had ended, all the guests had left, Draco had gone to sleep, and Dobby had not appeared to clean up, alerting him that something was wrong. After an hour of frantic searching, Lucius realised someone had broken into the secret chamber where he kept all his unsavoury items, which explained why his elf was missing. "The item he entrusted me," Lucius shuddered. "This is not good. No, this…

- 20th of June 1992,Nurmengard, Cassiopeia When one mentions prison, one would imagine a cold, dreary place where no sun shined, preferably deep underground. Choking stench of mould and stale air, patrolling guards, sentries, checks, iron shackles and steel bars, traps, and a myriad of security measures to prevent anyone from escaping or getting inside to free the inmates. Torture chambers would be included, of course, because criminals had to be either… plied for some information or made to repent for…
