25th of January, 1992, Saturday In a small clearing amidst Bradley's Woods, crimson runes glowed eerily in the darkness from a queer assortment of mossy stones. In the centre stood a man crowned with silver, his skin fissured like a cracked vase. He was surrounded by three young children arranged on the ground in a triangular position, their heads facing him. Their fearful gazes moved erratically, yet their limbs and tongues refused to budge even an inch despite the lack of visible…- 412.4 K • Ongoing
- 30th of December, Monday "Congratulations, Mr Black, you're now officially discharged." "About damn time," Sirius grumbled as he pulled on a plain black robe. The damned thing was so bland that it would better suit Snivellus instead of a handsome dog like him. The first thing he would do was buy a nice leather jacket… and a wand. His old wand had been regrettably snapped once he was chucked in Azkaban for life. "Also, there's no need for formalities, Ted! We are family, after all." Especially…

- 30th of November, Sunday "Most impressive, Amy," Alfred huffed, though his voice had a tinge of concern. "Three days of sleep." Her brother showed up in her humble house soon after she awoke. "Could use one more," Amelia admitted as she sipped from her steaming-hot mug of coffee. "I thought… you'd be more upset." They were not sitting in the kitchen, sharing a spread of breakfast prepared by the old Mimsy. "Oh, believe me, I'm plenty upset. But it's just that the sleep was so good, and…

- 24th November, Saturday Hogwarts had proved everything his brothers said it was… and more. Everything was new and exciting and… hard. Harry Potter was here, but he had joined Ravenclaw for some reason. Everyone dreamed of becoming friends with The Boy Who Lived, and Ron was no exception. But reality was often disappointing, as he discovered in the last few months. Potter was polite yet reclusive and kept to himself except for his short muggle-born friend. The House of Wit and Learning had proved…

- 11th of November, Monday "I don't like it, Albus," Armando Dippet grumbled from the portrait. "You should have dissolved the Board of Governors when you had the chance." "While cumbersome, the Board guaranteed Hogwarts some independence from the Wizard's Council and later the Wizengamot. You should well know that, Armando." While the Board was often a nuisance, they had their uses. Nearly half of Hogwarts' yearly budget came from their pockets, and they were responsible for the school's public…

- 7th of November, Thursday "Enough theory for now," Flitwick squeaked out, much to Diana's relief. The endless stream of words about the difference between visualisation and will and how essential it was for casting had her feeling numb. Her wrist, too, after writing it down with a damned quill. At least she stopped blotching her ink all over the parchment. "Now, let us return to the levitation charm-" Diana tuned out the diminutive Charms master and stared at the white feather on the desk before her…

- 1st of November, Friday Harry awoke with a groan and immediately regretted it. It felt like he had wrestled a dozen rounds with a mountain troll before being chewed out by a dragon. Half his body ached as if he had overtrained himself, and the other half was just numb, but the feeling of bone-deep wariness was weighing on him like iron shackles. Even his eyelids felt like lead, and after a short struggle, Harry finally opened his eyes, only to be met with a familiar ceiling - lacquered rafters of…

- 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…

- 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…

- 17th of October, Thursday His lungs burned with each breath as he moved his weary limbs, which felt stiff and heavy as if made of lead. While Harry jogged every morning, he only pushed himself to the limit every second day, and it was never easy. It was still dark, with only the barest hint of light peeking from the eastern horizon. Harry didn't have to light his way since the sky was unblemished by any clouds, and the stars shined brightly, softly illuminating the grass-covered ground below and…
