“It doesn't have to end this way, you know. A few words, and I can make all of these problems go away, Greengrass.” He smiled, but the warmth of it never reached his eyes. They were cold mirrors of emerald, honed and gleaming, and the tip of his wand began to smoulder there in his grip.

--

I travel over high mountains
Through deep valleys and forests
Crossing great rivers
In search of knowledge of the gods
From far beyond place and time
I hear a whispering wind
It tells me to strive on
Through the horizon of my thoughts

I am the mindtraveller
My quest is man's destiny
Teach me secret holy spells
And the wisdom of the elderly
Gazing into my mind
Entering my soul
Is there not a secret to unfold

I am the mindtraveller...

Hagrid sighed deeply as the boat approached the shore, its edges only just above the water. Las' time I wen' ter a little island on a boat, mighta been the happiest day o' my life.

The dark stone of the spiral tower was wet with rain, and for the same rain the Hit Wizards were shouting, though their words had not grown terribly more distinct for all their effort. Bleedin' bureacrats- jus' shut up, it ain't worth it. Still...

Tip One: Consistency is Key
She sat perfectly still in her seat. Her legs were crossed at the ankle, her hands rested upon her lap, and even while seated her spine was impeccably straight. Endless hours of training where she was held in this exact position by the spells her parents cast upon her had forced her body to succumb; her posture was now an ingrained part of her being.


She saw her image reflected in the window next...

On closer inspection, it was Neville. But everything about Neville seemed to be up in the air, and so, his situation wasn’t too surprising for anyone, much less him.

Other thoughts occupied Harry’s mind. Bigger things; bolder things; blonder things.

This thing that he so very much despised had a name, obviously. Greengrass. It had a first name as well, but that was best left alone. Greengrass...

His friends forsook him adrift an unabashed corridor of ogling eyes, and in Harry arose a bitterness so forceful as to unsettle the summer's placidity that, irritatingly, for the first time since his outburst in Dumbledore's office, threatened to mushroom into manifest rage.


He battened it down desperately with vehement judders of his trunk which followed him compartment to compartment, corridor to corridor. Everywhere it seemed curtains were drawn askew, mouths...

In a green room, inside a black cell, hidden in an empty building, buried in a dead town, vanished on a lonely island, there was a ghost, and the ghost had forgotten his name. But his descendants never did.

He hated its smell, he hated its seeming endlessness, he hated its boring, bland uniformity, and he especially hated its ever-so nauseating sway.

The cell was appalling. He could barely make out the minuscule droplets of water dripping steadily from the rotting, creaking boards of the ceiling. The putrid smell of mould and mildew was threatening only to further heighten his nausea.

A sudden, sharp jolt of the ship brought him back to his senses.

“Look, either you are or you aren’t, but I’ve got a job I could use your help with.”

“Do I look like I’m interested in work?”

“You can’t be happy like this, sitting around in the back of some no-name dump under the city, one step above the status of a beggar.”...
