Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestRhaena Targaryen A storm was brewing. It was not going to be a storm of wind and rain and thunder, but one that would shake her life—she just knew it. Everything looked calm on the surface, but Rhaena knew better. The House of the Dragon was divided ever since she and her sister were born, and Rhaena felt things wouldn't be resolved so simply, despite everyone's reassurances to the contrary. Her father and stepmother, Princess Rhaenyra, were growing more tense by the…- 185.8 K • Completed
- 130 ACBaela Targaryen The Chamber of the Painted Table saw a war council again, and now it was no longer as empty as a sept when the whores offered bargain nights. This time, even Baela was invited. The killing of the Usurper had won her the favour of many. Some hailed her as a kingslayer, though others whispered behind her back. "Kinslayer," they would murmur, but never to her face. Accursed was the kinslayer. Baela did not feel any different, though. Jon had said Aegon had perished…

- 9th of October 1993, Saturday (3 days later) Harry Potter Stern-faced, dressed in a heavy yellow-and-black robe, the deputy headmistress had an imposing appearance that could intimidate many students by her presence alone. A younger version of Professor McGonagall, and far more dangerous. He suspected there would be trouble when Amelia Bones slipped into the meeting with a guilty-looking Susan, but the proposal still surprised them. Even Nyx shifted underneath his skin, waking him from his…

- 1st of October 1993, Friday (21 days later)Albus Dumbledore Three weeks. It took him three weeks to get an actual lead and move in. His connections abroad were fewer compared to the British Isles, and across the world, they were spread thin. While his name carried weight and unlocked many doors, he was redirected towards bureaucrat after bureaucrat and official after official. It was a cumbersome process that reminded him that at least half of the Ministries across the continent and ICW were even more…

- 6th of September 1993, Monday (3 days later)Ron Weasley He strolled into History of Magic with a little more than resigned exhaustion and no expectations. Class began mundanely enough, with their new teacher taking roll. Professor Remus Lupin was certainly far more engaging than Binns ever could be, even if the bar was not particularly high. The new professor was well-built and energetic, with a strange claw scar on his cheek and an intense look in his eyes. Ron got the impression that there was more…

- 1st of September 1993, Wednesday (Same Day)Harry Potter "I-I can't breathe," Diana wheezed out, and Harry realised his magic had been flaring. "Sorry," he offered awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck, reining in his magic. Sirius had warned him that his presence had become dangerous, but Harry had thought his godfather had been joking because what did that even mean? Taking a better look, it seemed Draco wasn't making trouble for the Muggle-born girl, but merely speaking to her. Amiably. Harry…

- Beginning of June 1993Harry Potter "We don't need to trust Dumbledore to use him," Juno said when he shared his conversation with Helena Ravenclaw. "What we can trust in is his commitment to stand against the Dark Lord." The two of them gathered in the Chamber of Secrets again, the lone desk joined by two sofas and a lacquered ebony table laden with snacks and steaming cups of tea prepared by Wally. Harry never imagined this dreadful place could be cosy or welcoming, but Juno managed to make it…

- 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…

- 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…

- 26th of December 1992, SaturdayRon Weasley "He should never have gone without a wand, Molly!" Seeing his father lose his composure was unnerving; he had been worried sick when he picked him up from the Ministry after Damien's father called him. Once he was sure Ron was unharmed, his father simply hugged him and brought him home. For a moment, Ron thought that was the end of it, but that calm was but a storm brewing in his heart once they were home. For once, it was not directed at him. Hearing…
