Moody turned sharply, his wooden leg thudding heavily against the floor as he marched toward the staff table. The students nearby waited until he was out of earshot before murmurs spread through the hall like wildfire.

The party was just a small scene. Nero didn’t consider it important in the grander scheme of things. The mercenaries were nothing more than hired guns meant to stir up trouble for Warren, probably funded by one of those anti-mutant communities springing up since the whole Neogene reveal. Even t...

Occlumency wasn’t a common subject, not even among pureblood families who usually prided themselves on obscure magical knowledge. The Ministry never actively promoted it either, likely because it was difficult to master and, when taught poorly, could cause serious mental backlash. The mind wasn...
