Four years have elapsed. It is the year 1969.

"Greetings, my dear. You have finally returned," I said with a smile, opening my arms for a warm embrace. I approached Fesalia, who had just arrived in my palace in the subterranean city.

"I am now a High Mage, Svyatozar," she declared, her words falling like bombs, unburdening her emotions not only verbally but also energetically. Her determination to become my lawful wife was palpable, yet she remained anxious, having recently faced a "mortal" threat in the form of a malevolent queen, the final obstacle on her journey to becoming a deity.

"Has there ever been a moment when you failed to keep your promise?" I asked, my voice soft and gentle, as I caressed her hair, shoulders, and back like a cat basking in warmth. She leaned back against my chest, still tense, her mind still dwelling on the recent battle I had witnessed through the eyes of the clones tasked with protecting her, ready to intervene should she find herself on the verge of death.. The oldest of the xenomorphic queens that she encountered at the conclusion of her mission was not significantly weaker than Dracula himself, perhaps even more powerful.

I attempted to calm her with my actions, but rather than relaxing in my embrace, she drew closer, as though confronting an adversary once more. "Do you have nothing to say?" Her words were laced with resentment, and as she spoke, her unbridled, wild magical power flared, operating with the full force of her soul.

"My dear, do you not think you are being hasty and contradictory? First, you must be my lawful spouse, and then you may question me with passion." The runes that protected the chamber we were in, struggling to contain Fesalia's unruly power, cracked under the strain of her outburst. Even an enraged woman is a calamity, but a deity with a violent disposition is like a handful of raisins.

"Who is she?" she asked, regarding me with an expression of affronted deflation, like a balloon that has been punctured. Despite her apparent strength, gained during her time in captivity, she could never hope to compete with me or attempt to dominate me, for we were in different weight classes, as she well knew. Moreover, we were not in her ancestral homeland, where different customs prevailed, and my family was not ruled by a matriarchal system.

«Nine-tailed kitsune-ayakashi — there is no need for anger or offence. We were fated to meet, and then be joined — and I did not need to explain that it was not a metaphor, nor any other figure of speech.

After all, I verified the validity of the prophecy made by Tsuchigumo Tanabata to young Mei, turning to knowledge I had previously evaded or not touched. To confirm its truth, its applicability to me, I conducted a complex ritual to identify my fateful, unbreakable bond. These are matters of importance, and I had to turn to the cosmos.

In the end, all was confirmed, and simultaneously, the fact that Maria and Koneko were meant for me was also revealed. But the connections did not end there. Two more were discovered, destined to become marital in the future. One brought me to Fesalia, the other — who would doubt it — to Bellatrix.»! Phineas will be overjoyed when the Black family's daughter becomes his fifth wife in a legal marriage, and he approaches me to arrange the matter. To be more precise, he will bring a prenuptial agreement. He had provided me with numerous such documents in his capacity as the headmaster of Hogwarts, anticipating that his luck might suddenly turn in his favour. And his fortune did indeed smile upon him!

The ritual I performed was derived from ancient Sumerian practices and involved a complex magical procedure at the intersection of time, love, foresight, ritual, and prophecy. It was designed specifically for an ancient Sumerian emperor to find his soulmate. This ritual was devised by an archmage and high priest of Inanna, who was also the emperor's priestess. As all emperors had divine bloodline from Marduk, a divine power was required to activate this ritual. Without this power, it would be impossible to peer beyond the shroud of fate for someone with even a trace of Marduk's blood.. At the time, Marduk presided over one of the most potent pantheons, and thus, every aspect of the undertaking required meticulous planning. Were I not a deity myself, conducting the ritual upon myself, I would have been incapable of replicating it. For the final crescendo of its operation demands a substantial amount of divine energy. However, with my own pouch and its protective storehouses within the realm of the One, I was easily able to execute it and unveil the truth regarding my future, particularly regarding my domestic life.

The ritual was solely concerned with the harmonious bonds of familial well-being, revealing only those destined to be mine and with whom I would spend the years of my existence in bliss.

"So you will be my fourth wife..." I was filled with excitement, desiring... And you..." — and for the first time I saw tears welling in your eyes. "You will be my third." I felt it was unfair that another could surpass me. Another who had devoted her entire adult life to being by my side as my wife.

Certainly, May was also looking forward to this day and the happiness of her family, but she could not abandon her dream of Fesalia, which grew before her very eyes. It was not difficult to explain this to Chanterelle, who accepted my desire to marry Fesali without any resentment. After all, I am a fortunate individual, for if I had not been chosen, it would have been a wonderful miracle.

May is a wise young woman who gets along well with everyone, even with Maria and Koneko. Now, wherever she goes, people follow her.

*****

On the day of my reunion with Thessaly, which took place in the spring of 1969, my students were completing their fifth year of study. They could have taken their OWL and TOAD examinations long ago, but they chose to remain at the school for an additional year. By the end of their third year, they had already mastered several schools of magic from contemporary guilds such as Bellatrix for dark magic and Sylvia for enchantments.

Within my domain, I had the power to slow down time relative to both Earth and Magic, allowing me to fully engage in teaching Bella and Silvia. In order to avoid any questions from others, I encouraged my students to explore and awaken their latent metamorphic abilities.

The Greengrass family was connected to the Black family, possessing the necessary genetic predispositions. However, without the support of the Black family's magic, it is unlikely that they would have ever discovered this gift on their own. Was I a god or what?

Thus, after the first year of their studies, when my students were immersed in my domain, they spent their summers there. They returned home only on Sundays, dedicating themselves to mastering and controlling their newly acquired abilities to transform their bodies. Initially, their internal organs were unstable due to their lack of control over this remarkable gift.

My serious demeanor attracted considerable attention, and I did not find it amusing.. To elucidate the curious minds, it is worth noting why my students, having suddenly appeared in the second year following the summer break, began to resemble fourth-year pupils with well-formed figures. Standing head and shoulders above their peers, they were not merely engaged in metamorphism.

I took them on numerous excursions to other magical schools, and as a result, Sylvia and Bellatrix entered Hogwarts in their second year armed with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in charms and transfiguration. Through the gift I bestowed upon them, my students have become adept at the art of magical transformation and potion-making.

In essence, achieving the status of an apprentice in modern times requires a relatively substantial amount of preparation. In addition to the knowledge associated with this rank, minimal control is required. The key is to develop one's sensitivity to one's own magical energy, which allows for conscious regulation of mana flow. I imparted this knowledge to them from the outset of their studies.. Only after they had experienced the flow of energy within themselves and developed the inner vision that allowed them to perceive their own aura and the pinnacle of their magical shield, did I commence their instruction in the art of spellcasting. By the summer of 1964, I had fully recuperated from the strain on my spiritual bodies incurred during the process of crafting armor for myself and my companions.

However, this did not imply that I was dispatched to America to address the portals to the enchanted realm there. My work in Europe, particularly in England, remained extensive, as I dedicated myself to training my students. While they could be duplicated, I had not yet attained the adaptability to view them as extensions of my own being. Nonetheless, I believed that assuming responsibility for someone as a personal disciple required me to provide them with instruction.

Nonetheless, this was not the sole reason for my reluctance to venture to Mexico at that time.. Following the ritual, upon learning that there would be a further three weddings, I was compelled to prepare safeguards for my future wives. For this purpose, I have crafted three spaces for armor, which shall be completed once my chosen brides are officially joined to me. One of these spaces shall also attain the requisite strength. My conditions for Bellatrix remain unchanged. Until she ascends to the status of a goddess, she may only be my consort.

The second year at Hogwarts proved to be a challenging period for my students. Not only did I maintain the same pace of learning and the same depth of knowledge as in the previous year, but I also instructed Bellatrix and Sylvia to prioritize the development of strong bonds within their tight-knit group. Moreover, I tasked them with extending their influence to their peers, particularly among the older students.

Even without these additional responsibilities, it would have been difficult for the students to keep up with their studies, meet the demands of my assignments, attend lectures, produce extensive essays — a favorite pastime of Hogwarts professors, and participate in extracurricular activities.

My workload at Hogwarts has increased significantly. Now, I am responsible for teaching two full-time courses. However, it is worth noting that in 1964, the pool of talented and promising candidates was not as abundant as it is today. Despite this challenge, I approached the recruitment process with the same diligence and attention to detail that characterized my first year as a teacher.

My unique ability to discern the latent potential in individuals and their intellectual faculties allowed me to identify those who possessed the necessary prerequisites for personal growth. Through subtle mental manipulation and gentle influence, I guided these promising individuals towards leadership positions within the classroom. This approach was consistently effective, resulting in me teaching five courses by 1969. The number of secret societies within Hogwarts remained unchanged throughout this period.. As a result, there was a predetermined schedule indicating which hours and course the study room was available, where my chosen students met as they matured. While it may appear amusing for adults to observe the importance that the children imbue in these meetings, recognizing their uniqueness and involvement in shared secrets, only those under the guidance of Bellatrix and Sylvia could boast of such organizations and access to resources that were recognized without hindrance by the leaders of the interest clubs, whose identity remains undisclosed to this day.

Gray was not one to seek attention or display his abilities, instead, he always endeavored to turn the situation in such a manner as to draw the least amount of attention to himself. Consequently, the members of the club did not make their activities public or engage in active recruitment, accepting only those who did not draw attention with radical views, and at school, their focus was on studying rather than mischief and intrigue.. Furthermore, the members of this «club» did not boast about their own meeting place, which had already become legendary at the school due to the fact that everyone knew its existence, yet no one could actually find it. I had been working on the enchantments of access to this room.

Thus, now only those who were deemed reasonable, who desired to enter the clearing that represented the club's room, and who possessed the necessary clearance, could appear in specific locations of the corridors. Upon their arrival, the right door would magically appear on the wall before them, while distractions charms ensured that even Albus Dumbledore himself would be unable to breach this barrier.

Consequently, all those curious individuals who attempted to follow the club members and discover the location of their meeting place were unsuccessful. Perhaps the most notable event of the past four years was a secret gathering I organized four years ago with Abraxas Malfoy, Nathaniel Knott, and Alfonso Knott. The ambition of Lords Malfoy and Knott to liberate themselves from the yoke of a master was not surprising to me.. The fee they proposed was a surprise, yet the official purpose of their meeting was stated as the identification of artifacts belonging to the Nott family. Neither my brother nor I could have anticipated that such a precious item would fall into our possession.

I cannot fathom where the family, who engaged in a centuries-long blood feud with the Notts, could have acquired such a valuable possession, now in the possession of Nathan. However, during a confidential meeting, with my brother-in-law by my side, veiled under the guise of Morain, the ring of King Solomon was presented for our inspection and identification.

This artifact holds no significance for us, yet if in the hands of a cunning and calculating individual seeking to bring about the apocalypse on Earth, their goal would be easily achieved. What is this ancient relic of a Jewish archmage and demonologist who passed away three millennia ago? Perhaps even the ultimate god of magic himself?

According to the available information, King Solomon engaged in a brutal conflict with Goetia, a realm inhabited by one of the most sophisticated and organized demonic societies that humanity has ever encountered. The exact details of how he succeeded in vanquishing the seventy-two Archdemons, the rulers of this dark dimension, remain uncertain. Moreover, it is unclear how he managed to uncover their true names, which were a source of their immense power.

Following this victory, King Solomon employed his abilities and the assistance of subjugated demons to establish a seal that effectively prevented the inhabitants of Goetia from venturing into our world. This action served as a protective measure for both Earth and its magical realm, shielding them from the potential threat posed by the creatures of Goetian origin. However, he deliberately created a loophole in the form of a spell-bound ring, allowing him the ability to summon the seventy-two defeated archdemons as allies. Through this means, he effectively enslaved these powerful entities, utilizing them as a strategic asset in his ongoing struggle against the forces of darkness..Certainly, the ritual executed by Solomon does not constitute a comprehensive remedy. Even with the utmost ardour, and even with the most intense desire, if one exerts their utmost effort in terms of physical strength, they may succeed in reaching the realm of the earth and establish their presence there. However, they will find themselves in a state that even a mediocre sorcerer could overcome.

It is safe to assume that such an occurrence would be readily detectable in the energetic spectrum, rendering it relatively straightforward to pinpoint the location of the demon's manifestation on Earth. Even archdemons would encounter difficulties in their movements, arriving on Earth with powers no greater than those possessed by a graduate of Hogwarts.. It is also worth noting that demons in our reality recover at a glacial pace, as our dimension is not akin to a vast cauldron in which dark energies simmer as they do in their native realm. The sole factor that once saved our world from being overrun by their legions was the enchanted nature of Earth, particularly the magical realm itself, which proves hostile to these beings.

Only those demons hailing from the intermediate sphere are immune to pain or harm in our realm, but without access to «flesh», they can barely eke out an existence, akin to masters of sorcery. Were such a demon to find himself here unaccompanied by his brethren, he would swiftly become a source of power for any sorcerer who managed to capture him.. In those days, high-ranking demons and arch-demons rarely ventured beyond their realms, as they enjoyed a comfortable existence in their own dimension. However, for a significant reward, they would forsake their thrones and visit our world, an event that left a lasting impression on humanity.

The "flood that engulfed the entire world", although affecting only parts of Africa, Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula for a period of time, was a consequence of the actions taken by one of the lords of Hell during a confrontation with twin Akkadian sorcerers. The sole method currently available for the descendants of Goetia to manifest on Earth is through the ritual summoning of a portion of a demon's true name, sufficient to bring forth the desired entity. For instance, Alfonso and myself possess knowledge of certain names, such as that of Marquis András, a lord of Hell with whom Brans maintains business relations.. This is not the complete true name of this daemon. The actual true name of such a potent entity, if any on Earth were to know it, was known only to Solomon, and was so lengthy that it would require several hours to utter. We possess only a business card bearing a page number, and when we recite it in a meticulously regulated ritual involving the parties involved, a message is sent to the daemon we wish to contact, from which it becomes aware that it has been summoned for a meeting.

By the way, Hebrew magic is the most potent school of name-based magic, but only fragments of knowledge have survived until our time, thanks to which Solomon managed to eradicate the threat posed by Geotia, forcing 72 lords of hell to assist him in erecting a barrier between worlds, preventing riffraff from traversing back and forth.

Now imagine our astonishment when Nathan placed a ring crafted from witchcraft bronze on the table before us, causing our breath to catch in our throats as we gazed at it with our ethereal vision.. Upon first inspection, it became evident that this unassuming piece of jewellery was a fundamental component imbued with the essence of a worldly ritual that encompassed the realm of security.

Upon closer examination of the ring, which served as the focal point and the epicentre of the magical weave, a pungent odour of sulphur and a fetid aroma of decay permeated the air, immediately imbuing us with a profound understanding of the significance of our encounter.

Indeed, there is only one other artifact in this world that possesses such immense power and purpose — the Ring of Solomon.

Were it not for the ritual conducted by Solomon and the ring in question, the demons of Goëtia would not hesitate to frequent our world were they to possess sufficient strength. In the present day, it is only through the use of rituals and the knowledge of a demon's true name that one can summon a being from Goëtia.

Alfonso possesses several names of the rulers of this dark realm, and he maintains a «friendly» relationship with one of them. However, should this ring be destroyed, Earth and the Magical World would become an open doorway for ravenous demons. These entities derive their power from absorbed souls, and there is no doubt that they would come to our world, as it has not occurred before.. The mystical fabric of the Earth has been compromised since Solomon erected his barrier, leaving us with no certainty that it remains effective against lesser demons.

Our intention was not to use this ring for personal gain, as neither Alfonso nor myself were heirs to Solomon's legacy and thus incapable of wielding the artifact for its intended purpose. Rather, our objective was to safeguard it from potential destruction, as its dissolution would inevitably lead to the collapse of Solomon's barrier. Despite our confidence in our capacity to confront the threat posed by the demons of Goetia, we recognized that if they were granted unrestricted access to Earth, a force of five thousand archmagi, half of whom were skilled witchers, might be sufficient to address the situation.. Nonetheless, allowing such a scenario to unfold concurrently with our pursuit of capturing another demon, which, as the Scorpion Man had warned, could potentially lead to catastrophic consequences for the Earth, was deemed too hazardous.

It was for this very reason that Alfonso found himself compelled to engage in a mid-journey meeting with Lords Malfoy and Nott, as they sought to rescue their families from the clutches of Gaunt's servitude. While it might have been possible to simply seize the ring from their possession, there were numerous avenues to accomplish this task, ranging from forceful extraction to deceptive strategies designed to make them forget about its existence.

However, during the planning of this encounter, I pledged that I would refrain from any actions that could pose a threat to them unless they provoked conflict. This promise was not one I could easily dismiss, for the word of a deity is sacred, and once given, it must be upheld. The universe does not condone or overlook breaches of such commitments, hence the existence of the concept of karma.

Thus, we were confronted with the challenge of dealing with individuals who had willingly submitted themselves to Gaunt's control.. We, or rather, Alfonso did not extricate them from the predicament they had found themselves in, but pledged to assist them in avoiding the fate of becoming enslaved to their own weakness. Brans accomplished this task through the use of a grotesquely repugnant ritual involving the transformation of another individual, which had to be performed on Lucius Malfoy and Theodore Nott.

Alfonso provided them with detailed instructions on how to conduct this ritual and supplied the necessary materials for its successful execution. He closely monitored the process and provided guidance to those involved. We had numerous options available to us, but we deliberately chose the most vile and violent one.

This ritual is not merely an example of dark magic but a manifestation of the darkest sorcery. In this intricate ritual, a person seeking to assume a new identity must physically remove the skin from the victim using a specially crafted enchanted blade.. They recite a lengthy poem, and then, after donning the discarded skin over their bare bodies, they pierce their new persona's heart with the blade, akin to Orochimaru's technique when he sheds his skin to evade harm, even mortal harm. The essence of this mystical act lies in the fact that, along with acquiring a new appearance, the astute individual performing this ritual assumes not only the skin of another but also fragments of their aura. These fragments merge with the one conducting the rite, concealing their true identity and emulating the aura of the victim who was sacrificed during the ritual.. Thanks to this, a discerning individual who has undergone this ritual can even survive an Avada Kedavra, since their new appearance will simply peel away, leaving them unchanged. Specifically, what we required from this ritual was his ability to cloak a rational individual in someone else's aura, one that might contain the imprint of Gaunt without altering their physical appearance. Thus, the prospective victims of the ritual were initially visited by me, where I conducted biomagic experiments and granted them an appearance identical to that of Lucius and Theodore.. Thereafter, I engaged in a ritual designed to alter the appearance of the chosen individuals, the maniacs destined to be victims of the creature. My goal was to ensure that the newly imbued appearance became an integral part of their being, harmoniously blending with their auras.

Even as I conducted this ritual, I felt a pang of empathy for two young boys, barely twelve years of age, who would soon be required to excise the skin from their victims, selecting a victim whose appearance resembled their own. The extracted skin was then to be transferred to their bodies, accompanied by the recitation of a quatrain in one of the demonic languages of the Goetia. The successful completion of the ritual was intended to conclude the torment of the victims' existence, sustained by the ongoing ritual.

But in order for the younger generation not to make the same mistakes in the future, they should have been exposed to this experience earlier. I trust that after such a vivid experience, they will develop an abhorrence for these activities.

I have no issue with sacrifices when they are unavoidable, and when the end product is offered up on the altar of a cause that will make the world a better place. However, to achieve this, proper upbringing is essential, as is the guidance of a mentor who views it as an integral part of their craft.

Those who derive pleasure from inflicting suffering and pain are repulsive to me. There is no room for them among rational individuals. Thus, when Alfonso informed the two nobles that he did not wish to assist them in this particular matter, they dismissed his decision as foolish, yet they expressed regret for their own children. They could not have imagined the horrors they were about to subject their youth to. I hope this experience will serve as a lesson, preventing them from making similar choices in the future.. Abraxas and Nathan did not deign to negotiate with Bran when he offered his assistance to protect them from the mark of slavery. After all, archmages are not easily deceived, especially by those with a reputation for contentiousness and vengeance, as my brother possessed. Even if promises of immunity were made, there was nothing to stop Alfonso from visiting their estate and expressing his dissatisfaction with their actions, after which he could seize whatever he desired. The dead had no need for material wealth.

Thus, I now possess the key to the very infernal realm described in scripture. However, the issue with Goetia must be resolved at a later time. It is not prudent to allow such a threat to loom over my realm. I am certain that when the moment arrives and my witches must venture into this dark realm, there will be great celebration on the streets of the citadel, with fireworks and confetti.. The lack of a worthy challenge has left the wizards feeling uninspired and unsatisfied. Thus, there will be a great surge of excitement among them as they eagerly anticipate the opportunity to face seventy-two archdemons from Goetia, for I have assembled two and a half thousand skilled wizards, while there are only seventy-two formidable adversaries in Goetia.

For those fortunate individuals who are granted the honor of confronting these powerful foes, it will undoubtedly be a moment of great joy. After all, each wizard yearns for the thrill of a challenging battle. These individuals are like adrenaline junkies!

However, I also possess tens of thousands more masters within my order, leading me to ponder the question: what should I do with these individuals? I must admit that I have contemplated numerous times where to find rivals eager for engaging engagements. Heh… I anticipate the shock that shall befall the inhabitants of Goetia when they discover that the barrier erected by Solomon has crumbled. Instead of fear and panic, a horde of enthusiastic witchers will surge forth.

Yes…. However, this will only occur after I have dealt with the menace of the demon that we are seeking, who is currently conspiring with Gaunt. Marvolo is the sole individual that the demon has not yet killed, of which we are aware, and this is the only reason why he has not been captured by the Vatican.

Gaunt was so confident in his abilities that he abducted innocents from Europe. It took me some time to prevent Venenzo from apprehending and eliminating him. At present, Gaunt's only hope lies in the fact that he is confined to the lowest strata of society, where no one would ordinarily look for him. What use does Gaunt have for mere mortals?

Suddenly, he discovered an aptitude for necromancy, but this is due to his lack of rationality, as he failed to investigate the origins of such a remarkable gift in Europe, which was unique and chosen.. But Gaunt laid the blame for his talents at his own door, you fool! To have at one's disposal a plethora of methods for diagnosing one's essence and the transformations occurring within it, yet to disregard them in favor of engaging in experiments and mastering newly discovered facets of one's magical prowess is nothing short of unenlightened folly. Thus, Gaunt has dedicated the past four years to his estate, immersing himself in the study of necromancy, its combat applications, and the art of golem-making. Alas, his upbringing in an orphanage, bereft of toys, has taken its toll, for he now finds no satisfaction in anything save for his success in necromancy and the raising of the dead. Under his command, he maintains a sizable army of approximately two thousand infernals and some three hundred flesh-and-blood golems.

In order to prevent any retribution from the Church, I had to discreetly hint to Marvolo that he should desist from his meddling in European affairs. He appeared unconcerned by the fact that his every move was being closely monitored by agents of the Vatican.

At one of the soirées hosted by Greengrass, to which Malfoy had been invited, I took the opportunity to mention that the Inquisition had become alarmed by events in England, particularly the activities of a troublesome sorcerer known to both myself and Malfoy, who had been targeting Catholic individuals across the Channel. I made it abundantly clear to Abraxas that while Gaunt might be causing trouble in England, his presence in Rome was of no concern to anyone. However, if he persisted in endangering respectable Catholic individuals from the continent, the Order of the Creator and the Dragon Knights would descend upon England, led by detachments of the Inquisition, bearing torches and pyres.. They would swiftly bring the overplayed English wizards in line. And he understood me completely and was incredibly grateful for the information I provided, thanks to which he was able to regain his position in Marvolo's eyes, demonstrating his utility.

When he shared this information with Gaunt, he exerted considerable effort to restrain his temper in the presence of his slave, yet he had not completely lost his mind and still understood that with the Inquisitors and the Knights of the two Orders standing guard in Europe, there was no way he could get away with it. And the realization of his own vulnerability infuriated him immensely, driving him into such dark realms that even the Dark Wizards of Salazar's time would have shuddered in disgust alongside him.

My presence in this universe and my influence on it have been strongly canonized, for Gaunt seeks power at all costs, and he will soon attain the rank of an Archmage.. Should this event occur, he will forfeit all that is human, and the consequences that follow will be dire. England will be incensed.

Should I not intervene, Albus will not be aided by any force or entity.

Next year, two of my students, who are practically like my children, will embark on their journey to Hogwarts, "to study". I have welcomed them into my inner circle and designated them as my heirs. They could have already ascended to the ranks of Lords and Ladies, but I wish to preserve the sense of wonder by introducing them to the world of Hogwarts.

Andromeda Black, having graduated from her initial year at Hogwarts in the year 1969, also demonstrated a remarkable talent, albeit her primary gifts lay in the realms of dark healing and metamorphism. These abilities were inherent to her, unaltered by any external intervention from me. However, these gifts remained dormant due to a series of ancestral curses that had plagued her family for generations. Only after I, as the newly appointed overlord of the lineage, intervened, did these abilities begin to manifest. Within a span of a month, the Black family managed to eradicate all traces of these curses from their ancestral abode, and upon their removal, Andromeda's metamorphic prowess started to flourish.. Bella had to devote a significant amount of time to teaching her sibling how to master this extraordinary ability. In 1972, Rowling's narrative takes a turn, with one of her protagonists embarking on their journey to Hogwarts for their studies. Filomont Potter's son, James, a mere nine years of age, grows up alongside his close friend, Sirius. However, in my version of events, these two would not be the mischievous pranksters and jokers we know. Instead, Nigelus Finias Black takes on the role of a responsible guardian, ensuring a nurturing environment for the next generation. Unlike Walburga, he does not struggle between his love for his children and his fixation on blood purity.. Sirius Orion Black's heir was raised in an atmosphere of strict discipline in magical classes and traditions. At the same time, he was immersed in a society that did not despise "muggles" and was isolated from the achievements of ordinary people.

For academic success and mastering the necessary knowledge, Sirius was granted access to the Muggle world, where leisure and entertainment had already reached a high level of development. Thus, he spent his weekends in London, visiting amusement parks, zoos, or cinemas. This leisure time was interspersed with cultural activities, including visits to museums and galleries, instilling a sense of style and taste in him.

Since Fleamont belonged to a neutral faction and his wife came from the Black family, their children quickly settled at Grimmauld Place, becoming close friends with Sirius and sharing the hardships of learning magic and their passion for the Mundane world.

And now I am keenly interested in how Albus Dumbledore will attempt to enlist these two werewolves in his ranks, individuals who are willing to lay down their lives for their families, as true champions should be, yet who will not attempt to solve matters on their own accord. They are not fearful and do not hesitate to approach their superiors on any matter.

Sirius, in particular, is immensely proud of his lineage and does not show any signs of weakness, assuming a leading role in their partnership. After all, here he is not subjected to psychological pressure from his family, and his success in magical pursuits and the learning of traditions only elicits pride among his kin. Thus, his acquaintance with James occurred under vastly different circumstances. Sirius did not seek support or respite from anyone else.. He was his own pillar of support, backed by a powerful family and a grandfather whom all of England dared not cross, and whom two other prominent magicians in the country were deeply fearful of.

However, I pondered on this and decided it would be intriguing to imagine what would have been the course of events in the Marauder era if Severus had not attended school. In my alternative reality, he existed, but his surname was no longer Snape; instead, it was Severus Cadmus Peverell-Prince.

In this alternate universe, he would not be the haughty little brat from the Spider's End, but a highly trained fighter who had completed his preparatory course at the Rocky Shelter. By the time he commenced his first year of instruction, he would be capable of effortlessly twisting a trained auror's wand into a ram's horn, thanks to his exceptional physical prowess and his mastery of melee combat with cold weapons, as well as his magical abilities. He could also dispatch multiple aurors with ease.

The young man had a familiar — not an owl or a kneazle, but a manticore.. When the manticore reaches the age of eleven, it will be a fully mature magical predator belonging to the fifth category of danger. Even an experienced group of hunters would not dare to face such a creature, as it has been said that if a person finds horseradish in the forest and the animal, which is the size of an Ussuri tiger and has scorpion-like stings, does not attack its prey immediately, the victim will not suspect that they will become the dinner of this deadly creature. Only a group of skilled martial artists or a magister could defeat such a monster.

What I find particularly intriguing about this creature is its ability to alter its size, allowing it to become slightly larger than a cat and hide its stings and wings in a spatial pocket. This makes it easier to approach. I am looking forward to witnessing the intense emotions that will arise at Hogwarts when Harry Potter, Sirius Black, Peverell Prince and Lily Evans come together.. Incidentally, I have discovered her identity, and she also happens to be the daughter of the aforementioned three heirs. However, it is important to note that Lily does not exist in this world. She has been reborn, and I must confess that I was astonished when I learned her true origins.

In my previous incarnation, I had once read fanfiction with a similar storyline. It turns out that she is a squib from the Gaunt family and a member of the Rosier clan, whose matriarch is Gloria, the principal educator at the renowned Rocky Orphanage, a place renowned for its magical nurturing. I have already apprised my subordinates of this development, and they received the news with great excitement.

Given their own experiences with their own fathers and grandfathers, they have no desire for men in their lives. Thus, this summer, the Evans household is anticipating the arrival of unexpected guests in the form of Gloria, who will ensure that the young lady spends the entire summer with her.. It remains to be seen whether Gloria will take the girl home entirely and impart the wisdom of being a member of the Rosier lineage, with weekends spent at her father's residence, or whether she will spend the remaining months before Hogwarts at the orphanage. However, I am confident that Gloria will not encounter any difficulties with her parents.

Firstly, the Evanses are both mature and rational individuals. Secondly, Gloria herself is a laid-back individual. After all, she has had the experience of raising children for over a century. Thirdly, there is the factor of magic. Nonetheless, I do not believe it will be necessary.
