STF:ACT2CH28 - MEMORIES OF ICE PART 1

“The Wind King?” Lukas echoed,  “I reckon that’s more than just another fancy title made by Asukan pillocks to hide their insecurities?”

Tanya snorted. “Only an Outsider could say this. Being a King is the highest mantle one can attain in the Asukan Empire.”

STF:ACT2CH27 - CHOOSING A SIDE

Tanya had a sudden sinking feeling.

“.... Me?” she croaked, feeling her fingers go numb. “Your goddess thought that I — that I…” she tried to put her growing apprehension and disbelief into words but failed dismally. “She said that I—”

“Had the power that could kil...

STF:ACT2CH25 - SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET

Six years ago…

Zuken Banksi resisted the urge to shudder as he stared into the cold, hard eyes of his guest. There was not a speck of emotion in those gray orbs, no love, no hate, nothing. For a man who prided himself in reading faces, it was quite a disconce...

STF:ACT2CH24 - WAR PART 2

The battle turned when Lukas Aguilar bore the brunt of the enemy’s combined attacks and shrugged it off with a snap of his fingers. It turned into a slaughter when he started chopping through muspels one after another, with his impossibly hard war-axe with the air of a man sweeping sweat off hi...

STF:ACT2CH22 - AGAINST INSURMOUNTABLE ODDS

Dangerous.

That was the only word fluttering through Lukas’s mind, as he tried to keep his knees from hitting the floor. Terraporting had saved him from a gory death, but it was still an option on the table. He wasn’t foolish enough to consider himself safe, especially...

STF:ACT2CH21- WIND AND FROST

Tanya was running late. As always, she had splurged a bit at the spa, and was just about to leave for the svartalfar mission. Lukas was probably hanging around the bridge. It seemed like the only place he liked to frequent. But Zuken had suddenly asked her to pay a quick visit before she left...

STF:ACT2CH20 - WARMONGER

To say that they were mismatched would be a hilarious understatement.

On one side were two spiritists. Of these two, Lukas was the only one that could match these muspels in a one-on-one battle, and someone had to ensure the svartalfars weren’t attacked from behind. Tanya’s skills at cl...

ACT2CH5 - The Welcoming Feast

Everything was changing.

Harry knew in his heart that Hogwarts would be different this year. After everything that had transpired during the eventful summer, he’d be stupid to think it’d be the same. That Hagrid was absent, replaced by Professor Grubbly-Plank only reinforced the idea. A...

Attention, STF Readers...

We have been working on Book 2, editing and perfecting it, now that we have finished more than 2 Acts of the book. We will start updating in about a week, and get started with Eight updates a month (every Tuesday and Saturday to be exact). We know it’s bothersome to not have co...

ACT2CH4 - Back to School Part 4

After sitting with Daphne for a couple of hours, Harry had excused himself to go find his friends. After all the drama the compartment had witnessed, neither Daphne nor the others had anything to say to that. Besides, Parkinson’s expression kept reminding him of a mandrake’s butt the entire t...

“She’s not wrong,” Harry said, his eyes never leaving Daphne’s frozen orbs of blue. “I am seeing Fleur Delacour.”

Daphne went still. Like a mannequin. She gripped the window grill with one arm firmly, straightening her posture, and stopped moving entirely. It was like w...

Harry watched as Ron and Hermione left for the Prefect carriages. It still pissed a part of him that he was being passed over for the Prefect position. Part of him wanted to yell at the unfairness of it all, but deep down, he knew he didn’t deserve the position, either. Apart from catching the ...

INTERLUDE 2 - Tactical Re-evaluation

Cornelius Fudge entered his office and deposited his bowler hat and overcoat on the hatstand before taking his seat. Then he pulled open a drawer and removed a bottle of firewhiskey from which he took a quick shot to fortify his nerves. One could hardly go through meeting after meeting with high-...

INTERLUDE 1 - The Wandmaker

The night was very cold for August. The Wizarding Wireless had mentioned an anomalous change in weather patterns, so it  wasn’t unexpected. If this continued, then in a few weeks it’d get cold enough that the drunks of Knockturn Alley would start freezing to death. Someone would see a bo...

ACT1CH37 - The Truth of the Veela Part 2

“The first time we met at Gringotts,” Fleur began simply, “it was a nightmare. I was just getting used to my new life. Between the grilling job hours, a merciless taskmaster, living all by myself in a muggle house, and surviving my nightmares, I was managing to keep myself on my feet. I was...

“You might not believe it, but for the longest time, I never realised I was beautiful.”

Fleur sat wrapped in a blanket on her sofa, staring at the crackling flames, trying not to break down and cry like a child. She took a deep breath, trying for what she was sure was the fiftieth time to calm herself down. She was sure that if she had at least an idea of what was going to happen ne...

ACT1CH34 - When One Chapter Closes

Fleur Delacour suppressed a sigh as she sorted through the papers. As expected, Overseer Griphook had several dozen papers for her to sort out, explain things in excruciating detail to an increasingly bored Harry Potter, and then have him sign them using one of their patented Blood Quills. Really...

ACT1CH33 - The Birthday Party Part 4

The party was in full swing.

After his stirring (clumsy, in Harry’s opinion) speech, Sirius and Andi had led the guests to the food tables. It was brilliant in one respect, and utterly awkward in another. Sirius had taken the top of the table on one end, with Andi and Nymphadora on either...

The sudden intrusion from Ron cut through his thoughts like one of the new knives Kreacher had gotten for the kitchen.

Despite having been here before, the transition felt just as shocking as the first time. Bitter, arctic wind slapped against his face with an alien prejudice, as if him being there was an affront to the being that rested within. Hateful stalagmites r...
