The club recruitment event in the great hall came to an end. December brought more snow and cold wind, and one morning Felix was watching outside from his window, Black Lake is frozen thick enough to support hundreds of young wizards skating and sledding on it, with students having snowball fights around the rocks and willows on the shore not far from the lake. Someone made a big scene, using magic to conjure up a seven-foot-tall snowman that chased students around, and Felix stared at it for a while…-

Snape fought the urge to brush it off and took the grilled fish, but his gaze was frighteningly intense. ” Got something to discuss with me, Severus?” Felix asked, seeing that Snape was silent. They emerged from the great hall and made their way to the middle of the yard, where the ground was covered in a blanket of snow. “I heard your discussion with Burbage about growing crops with magic-” Snape paused, putting the words together without a rise in his tone, “and I happen to have a similar…

“Nothing to do with you.” Mafalda said with a stubborn scowl. “Well,” Harry quipped accusingly, “what story are you going to make up again? Harry Potter’s secret army? Or Hermione Granger’s ambitious recruitment of an army of house elves, with the determination to overthrow the Ministry of Magic?” “Sounds great.” Mafalda said, filling out the registration form as quickly as she could, “By the way, your costumes look UGLY, you look like a pair of mummies …” “Don’t concern…

When he woke up, Felix was startled by the immense emotions throughout the castle. He shook his head as the castle in front of him seemed to possess an emotion of its own. He knew it was an illusion, but it was quite a fascinating feeling; Felix thought as he washed up, it was like every brick in the school had come to life, and couldn’t wait to be part of today’s occasion. It is the last weekend of November and the day the school has promised to let student clubs that have been vetted by the student…

“Never seen such a spectacle!” Fred said as he came closer, with a strange sense of contentment on his face. Harry looked at the notice board and understood what he meant. The names of the student clubs posted on it added up to over a hundred, most of which had just been established during this week, and there was a lot of discussion at the foot of the board, and he heard Justin swear that he had seen a “hundred kinds of snuff bottle club”, and Harry’s eyes searched the parchment and found a…

The owl flew into the blue sky with the letter, soon turning into a small black dot and finally disappearing, and Felix had a feeling that it is going to be a long journey. During the last academic year, he had several exchanges with Jura, in which he mentioned some of his real ideas in a broad sense, such as using newspapers to gain public support, using the institutional approach to improve regulations, accumulating experience with trial projects, being strong enough to protect himself, and having…

In Hogsmeade, the fire in the public fireplace spun around as Felix appeared, and patted the dust off his body. The sky looked grey-orange, with a red evening sun faintly visible through the clouds. The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow that crunched as Felix made his way through, the wizards that were returning home for the night greeted him. A skinny old wizard stopped to talk to him for a while, to discuss whether there is a lack of guts in wizards these days, before realizing that he had…

Hermione stood in front of the entrance to the locker room, constantly glancing around as the snowflakes from the sky accumulated in a thick layer on her hat. She let out a breath of cold air and stomped her feet as she felt like freezing. “I forgot my thermostatic locket … oh yes, Focillo!” She pulled out her wand and pointed it at herself, and in an instant a wave of warmth spread through her body as if she was sitting next to a roaring fireplace in the common room, and she couldn’t help but…

Towards the end of the dinner, the students who were well-fed and contented started to noisily murmur in the great hall. An uneasy restlessness filled the air as more and more people realized the fact that Headmaster Dumbledore is not present tonight, and they all darted their eyes toward the professor’s table and debated it with each other. Felix watched the scene in silence as Professor Flitwick’s shrill voice reached his ears from two seats away. “Minerva, did Headmaster Dumbledore got caught…

On the other side, Felix is also sitting on the sofa in his office looking through the newspapers of the past few days. The articles gave him a sense of time and space dislocation. The first page shows Amelia Bones being questioned by journalists and announcing the end of the Ancient Runes exchange, where Felix wasn’t present, still, the journalists made sure to use his picture alongside it, so you could see him going to the next building in the picture to check out… The other page, for example,…
