In the bright glow of the deep blue sky, three owl messengers flew over the heavy cast iron gate into the imposing Malfoy manor with three copies of that day’s Daily Prophet in their beaks. The Malfoys were having breakfast. “Daddy, I want to read it too.” A little blond boy, about five or six years old, said with a hopeful look on his face. He stretched his head up to talk, even though he was sitting on a stack of thick cushions, and the armchair underneath was considered quite tall, as he was…-

Luna Lovegood opened her eyes and stared at the ever-shifting clouds in the sky, the pure sunlight shining on her face through the gaps in the Brazilian rainforest, the air was fresh and refreshing. Her husband, Rolf Scamander, was taking photos of a plant two kilometers away. A small bug crawled on her. They had been in this rainforest for three months, looking for what the locals described as a “glowing bird that flies in a rainbow”, which an eight-year-old boy claimed to have seen with his own…

Five years have passed, and it’s yet another summer. “Time flies.” On one side of the couch, Ms. Bones said with a smile. Opposite to her is Hermione, who has just returned from abroad, after finishing a two-year inspector duty in the International Pan-Magical Alliance, she is dressed in formal clothes, her hair is pulled together behind her head, and her body exudes a refined temperament. “How was your experience travelling around the world?” Ms. Bones passed her a cup of tea. “Great.”…

When he put away the communication mirror, Felix couldn’t help but laugh; rumours always caught more attention than facts, especially when they were paired with a short, concise, and easily spreadable sensational headline. It would have been perfect if the rumour could creatively ‘explain’ major events in history with complex explanations in three or two phrases. Not only will it most likely be popular at the time, but it will also gain everlasting vitality thereafter. To avoid being impacted by…

In front of the harbour, Felix pulled out a silver pocket watch from his jacket and popped open the top cover to check the time. “Horace, have your men arrange the transfer as soon as possible, to be honest, I’m not sure if a big guy is going to appear over our heads in a few moments, it’s hard to figure out what those folks are thinking … Seriously, I don’t like politics.” He paused, “I could probably make a warning a minute earlier if there would be a real danger.” Horace Grimsditch…

As Christmas Eve approached, the usual festive spirit of joy was diluted by a serious, solemn atmosphere, and everyone’s hearts sank as if they too were hanging in an invisible holly and mistletoe-draped ribbon just like those on the great hall’s Christmas tree. News and pictures of New York Harbor continued to multiply, ranging from traffic jams caused by the blizzard, to the presence of air, land, and navy battalions, as well as Marines and Coast Guard troops gathered in the harbour, and appeals send…

Professor McGonagall appeared after a while. She was not surprised by the commotion that Felix caused from time to time, since they had long discussed the possibility of incorporating Felix’s magic into the school, it’s just that they had not been able to convince the Sorting Hat at that time. So she first calmly pacified some of the frightened students and faculty before returning to the Headmistress’s office. Felix sat on the couch, appearing as if he hadn’t even changed his position – except…

Felix, after wearing the dirty, crumpled, and patched Sorting Hat, asked in a whisper, “You have something to tell me?” As he spoke, he stole a passing glance at the portrait frames on the wall, and the portraits immediately closed their surveying eyes and snorted. “I have nothing to tell you, you’re the one who keeps coveting me.” A subtle voice rang out in his head. “I am just curious about your method of existence.” “What’s there to be curious about?” “You’ve existed for…

That statement is very long. First, it disclosed a series of deeds done by the US official government one by one such as secretly and illegally imprisoning and controlling young gifted wizards, stealing confidential knowledge, and secretly hunting and killing solitary wizards, and then it also reviewed the recently incited and growing anti-wizard thinking and violence in all social classes, and finally – “… many things they have done so far are considered as serious violations of the Constitution…

Felix returned to school and took some time to find Valen who was pleasantly walking around – Felix had left her behind at school due to the serious nature of the previous conference. After not seeing each other for a while, Valen’s temperament grew even wilder. Felix asked in a tone of prying insider information, “I heard that there is a flying Niffler roaming around the Forbidden Forest recently?” Valen shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she had no idea of such a thing. “Really?”…
