The sky overhead was bright with stars, and as Felix was walking through the streets of Cairo, Egypt, his body shape gradually changed but no one seemed to have noticed it. He entered a wizard tavern, and with his presence, the crowd, which had been boisterous, fell silent, and a sense of unease spread through the crowd from near to far, like wheat falling in a field. The people were aware of his infamy from half a century ago, but there was a slight curiosity mixed with their fear. “My brothers, my…-

“… I now pronounce you to be companions for life.” At the announcement of a small, thick-haired wizard, Bill and Fleur clung to each other as a large silver cluster of stars surrounded them, highlighting them more and more radiantly. Charlie, Ginny, and Gabrielle, who were closest to them, applauded excitedly, smiling brightly. Sobs of joy rang out off-stage from Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Delacour. “Ladies and gentlemen! Please stand up!” The guests stood up. The white tent canvas was rolled up…

“We meet again, Mr. Hap.” Akingbade said wearily, extending his hand to shake Felix’s, “Can we find a place to talk? I spoke briefly with Amelia before coming here, and I was informed by her that you guys are doing a great job.” Felix was about to nod when a deep voice interjected, “Excuse me, would you mind adding me?” “All together then, Horace.” Akingbade said, seeing that Felix had no objection. “Horace is the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America and…

Felix and Bill stood in front of a towering wooden house not far from the wedding tent. The house towered twenty or thirty feet high and was built from a tree trunk trimmed with excess branches on every side, the trunk only retained the top part of the canopy and the overall appearance resembled a green mushroom. It was a makeshift house prepared for Hagrid’s brother, Grawp, but now there was a large hole punctured in this little house. “Little Grawp couldn’t find the door when he woke up from…

The next day, as expected, the television broadcast created a buzz. A series of fresh news bounced out of the press like slices of freshly baked bread, eagerly waiting to be buttered and jammed and stuffed into people’s bellies. Fred and George’s private radio station was once again put to use, picking out interesting news to broadcast each morning after reading newspaper clippings for “those who still have a child’s heart”. Fred reads “Utopian Society: Progress or Backwardness?” After…

The news that the wizards would be interviewed hit the headlines early on, the promos were shown on television on a loop two days in advance, and by the scheduled time, countless people were waiting in front of the television for the live show to begin. The three guests were seated in order, with Slughorn sitting alone in a wide chair, dressed in a magnificent emerald green wizard’s robe, Mr. Weasley and Hermione right next to him, the former wearing a taupe suit with his thinning red hair plastered to…

The lights at Hogwarts were sparsely lit, tonight was not too different from yesterday or the day before, but it was still a sleepless night for many. The library was very quiet and Hermione was able to immerse herself in her current task. A thick stack of books lays in front of her, almost ten of them were open at the same time, but she didn’t read any of them, instead, she was biting her lip in deep thought, apparently after the statute of secrecy came into effect at the end of the seventeenth…

House elves? Harry’s mind flashed back to what Hermione had said at the Gringotts, that the house elves of Future World and Hogwarts had agreed to join the Pan-Magical Alliance, and that the next step would be for the Ministry of Magic to gradually free the house elves in the hands of the ancient families, especially those who were experiencing abuse … The surprisingly good spirits of these house elves at Future World Company might have something to do with the smiling faces of the visitors, or…

“I can’t believe you are actually one of the mythical wizards, I was shocked when I saw your face on TV!” Jim said excitedly. Felix shrugged. “Because I needed to hide my identity, I actually left the orphanage just to go to the magic school.” He gave a brief account of his real experiences over the years. “Then your work experience-” Jim looked in doubt, it couldn’t be fake too, could it? “That’s genuine, I worked in London for two years after I graduated.” “A strange…

The last Saturday of July. In a spacious courtyard inside the Houses of Parliament, the Prime Minister and several ministers stood far away in a long corridor, silently watching a short, thin man dangling in mid-air. The man held a small, long-handled hammer in his hand, and all eyes converged on the blackened head of the hammer as they watched it approach the crystal vase. For several days scientists used various methods to try to figure out the inner mechanism of the vase without destroying it, but…
