Some common ingredients, meticulously cooked by Mrs. Weasley, signaled the beginning of lunch.
During the meal, there wasn't much idle chatter. This was partly due to the delicious food and also because most things that needed to be discussed had already been covered.

Located in Devon, England, the Burrow stood tall.
Perhaps, as Ron had once said in the stories, they hadn't expected to have so many children.
To have enough room, they had to keep building upward, layer by layer. However, since there had never been an architect in the Weasley famil...
After Fawkes left, the cottage welcomed new guests in the evening.
At the dining table, Draco poked the owl in front of him. He had never seen such an old and nearly lifeless owl before.
"It's still alive, just too old! It should be enjoying its retirement in the owlery rather than ...
Life always has too many moments of inadvertence and too many surprises.
When the Lucius couple learned of their son's residence, they weren't angry about his running away. Instead, they sent a house elf to stay with him permanently.
After confirming that this elf wasn't Dobby, Ino ...
The story of Middle-earth has come to an end.
In the Sanctuary Valley, Ino opened a suitcase and meticulously sorted through its contents, taking out items he didn't immediately need.
This journey had given him a feeling as if a lifetime had passed.
Over the span of ten years...
The peaceful Shire.
In the middle of a lush apple orchard.
Ino sat alone under a tree, using a delicate sword to carve a piece of ivory.
The ivory was a 'friendly' gift from the Haradrim, and the sword he was using was also a trophy of war, the Morgul Blade, once wielded by t...
Minas Tirith.
After throwing his longsword, Gandalf no longer paid attention to the battle in the sky.
His two-meter-long staff swung with force, showcasing his superb martial skills that continued to drive back the orcs.
In mid-air, Ino launched two successive powerful spell...
The first rays of morning sunlight spread over the land.
The Morin Creek camp was alive with noise, though it was limited to the restless neighing of horses.
All the Rohirrim knights silently donned their chainmail armor.
...
The White City.
Once the resplendent...
In the silent camp.
Sensing Fide's joy, Ino decided to investigate.
He was unsure which version of the ghost this was from the stories.
If it was a corporeal, attack-capable undead, distinct from Hogwarts' magical ghosts, it would be extremely valuable for research.
Ho...
The border between Rohan and Gondor.
On the towering western spurs of the White Mountains.
The last of Gondor's seven beacon towers—Halifirien—was ablaze.
...
"Clang, clang, clang..."
Edoras, the capital of Rohan.
In the council hall at the highest po...
In the blacksmith's shop, a room filled with weapons and equipment.
The sudden appearance of the White Witch made this ordinary room seem somewhat different.
People often say that luxurious clothes and jewelry can adorn a person's appearance. But if a person is exceptional enough, t...
In a simple, unadorned room.
As Ino finished speaking, Theodred was the first to stand up.
"You're back. We didn't mean to intrude, but the door was open when we arrived..."
The young crown prince of Rohan appeared slightly uneasy.
"Relax, my friend," Ino said with a s...
The modest room fell silent.
Ino gazed through the open door, watching the bustling street outside.
On the street, countless Rohirrim were busy with their tasks.
Strong young men carried distributed grain, young women carried baskets of vegetables, and even the elderly and yo...
In this room, worn by the passage of time and exuding a quaint simplicity.
Ino half-lay on a bed covered with straw, while an oil lamp on the table quietly burned, its flame flickering gently with the wick.
Next to the bed, a ceramic teapot and matching teacup floated in the air. Th...
Helm's Deep.
Once the valley of the former kings of Rohan, it is now filled with the corpses of Uruk-hai.
When Éomer led two thousand of Rohan's elite warriors to the scene, they were stunned by what they saw. Corpses of Uruk-hai were piled high under the defensive walls and Hornbu...
In the magical world, the ancient white magic of the Patronus Charm.
For the first time, it will appear in Middle-earth.
Under the night sky, the starlight seemed to shine brighter, as if responding to something.
As the incantation echoed, the tip of the wand emitted a dazzli...
Helm's Deep
Although it's called a fortress, Helm's Deep actually consists of two parts. The eastern part is a deep defensive wall connected to the cliffs of the White Mountains, while the western part is a semicircular towering castle built on rock—Hornburg.
At this moment, Ino a...
At dusk, Edoras was clearly visible.
After six long months on the road, the journey had finally come to an end.
The five-thousand-strong group erupted into cheers, their tired faces breaking into long-awaited smiles.
The group moved forward slowly.
Unlike the others, I...
The White Mountains
The capital of Rohan, Edoras.
In the grand hall, Gandalf stood quietly before the throne.
Before him sat the ruler of Rohan, King Théoden. Long-term erosion and dark enchantment had turned this once heroic king into a withered old man.
His twisted ...
Middle-earth, Third Age 3018.
In peaceful times, time often tends to be overlooked.
Ino had lived peacefully in the Shire for three years.
However, after the first year ended, he was certain he had struck gold; it was highly likely that he would stay until the entire story co...
After decades of not meeting, Bilbo had a lot to talk about. They chatted from dusk till night, from night till dawn.
Eventually, he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep while they were talking.
Using the Levitation Charm, Ino moved Bilbo to his bed and then walked out of ...
Mid-June, the evening breeze carried a hint of coolness.
Ino walked alone along the winding cobblestone path, carrying a suitcase.
This was the path from the castle to Hogsmeade.
Even though it was only a half-hour walk, he took over an hour to traverse it.
There was n...
In the world of magic, wizards are a truly extraordinary group.
Just how extraordinary are they? Well, despite attending the same school, reading the same books, and having the same professors, the magic they master varies greatly.
A simple example: what Hermione knows, Harry doesn'...
Penelope Clearwater.
Ravenclaw's seventh-year prefect and the female president of the Hogwarts Student Council.
Facing the furious gazes in the common room, Penelope calmly lowered the wand from her throat.
"What? Do you have something to say? I'm waiting!"
By the end ...
Slytherin Dormitory.
The dark mist gradually dissipated, merging into the shadows as if it had a will of its own.
"The second magical outburst of wizards has created countless unrepeatable miracles! And this achievement is merely the beginning."
Having understood everything, ...
At the beginning of June, the temperature in the Scottish Highlands was soaring.
Similarly, as the final exams approached, Hogwarts visibly became somewhat restless.
This was especially true for the fifth and seventh-year students.
Two crucial exams not only represented their...
Late May.
Ino left Brioni Island.
It wasn't that he wanted to leave, but a letter from Hogwarts made it necessary.
The sender was Snape, and the content was very simple, consisting of just a four-word phrase: "Return for the exams!"
Faced with the Househead's brief and...
Brioni Island.
Returning to the island, Dren and his group began tending to the unconscious Ukrainian Ironbelly, as well as the 23 restrained wizards.
As for the subsequent handling of these wizards, Ino didn't ask foolishly, nor did Lucius offer an explanation.
…

Quidditch Training Field.
Draco kept watching everyone's performance repeatedly. Although he didn't know much about filming, he always remembered something Ino had once said:
"A good story is never a product of deliberate effort."
This simple statement set a standard for Drac...
Over Brioni Island.
The dragon tamers once again demonstrated the qualities of a wizard.
With Dren joining the fight, the fifteen dragon tamers no longer cared about losses. Powerful spells continuously shot out, and within just a few breaths, the five Romanian Longhorn dragons lost...
