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…-

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…

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…

21st Day of the 9th MoonThe Hand of the King Ned did not think it possible, but the heat had gotten even more unbearable, with the city overflowing with people. It was as if the thousands of visitors brought the heat and damp humidity from their homes. Even the shade provided scarce relief, and he felt like he was swimming in his sweat. Aside from the heat, things were mostly going well. The first day of the tourney saw Gorlon Pyke clinching victory at the axe-throwing, and Rogar Wull won the…-

10th Day of the 13th MoonRobb Stark, Winterfell "I dreamed Father was fighting together with the stone-faced men," Rickon had muttered when they broke their fast in the solar one morning. The words quieted all of them. "Stone-faced men?" Mother's voice was filled with trepidation. "Aye," his younger brother nodded, hungrily swallowing a piece of bacon. "The ones in the crypt." It had happened two days ago, and ever since, Catelyn Stark had been inconsolable. They had all suspected when no word…

10th Day of the 8th MoonZaphon Sarrios, Tyrosh The magister was not happy. Grudgingly, he looked around his favourite personal bathhouse - everything was covered by intricate tiles made of polished white marble, and the air was thick with the misty veil waffling from the churning waters below. Velyena, his favourite bed slave and bare just as the day she was born, was just beside him and slowly feeding him sweet, ripe red grapes, the colour of deep amber. Another of his favourites, Deliena, was…

The door was at the beginning of the train car, so they had to wait for everyone else to push their way out to a small, dark platform. Diana couldn't help but shiver; the Scottish Highlands proved to be far colder than London. Her insides kept twisting into knots, both from nervousness and from the odd, foreign place where she would spend the next nine months. The wands of a few older students ahead were lit, softly illuminating the surroundings as they made their way into the distance towards something…

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…

Davos Seaworth Dragonstone Despite Maester Cressen's fears, Stannis had finally awoken three days ago. They still had no idea what had started the fire, the claw knight had grown highly paranoid, and the fortress's defences had been tightened to the extreme. Not even a rat could enter without the knowledge of the master-at-arms. Worse, the Lord of Dragonstone was in great pain, and his throat couldn't produce anything beyond raspy coughs or pained wheezes. And thus, he was still stuck here, unable…

23rd day of the 10th MoonThe Master of Laws The seed is strong. Jon Arryn's last words echoed ominously in his head. He didn't think much of it when Pycelle had said it, but the phrase just couldn't get out of his mind. The flickering candlelight barely illuminated the old, yellowed pages of The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms. There was nothing of interest or surprise in the long-winded record of histories as far as Renly could tell. The whole thing was…
