"Do you?" the witch asked, sighing as she waved a hand at a candle to ignite it again. "I suppose you are big enough now-"

"I'm five stone."

"Yes, dear, you are. Do you promise to stay your tongue until the end?"

The young wizard nodded, pulling the wool sheet to his chin.

-As told by the Tales of Beedle the Bard

Before the time of the Peverells, there lived many small families in the dense woods somewhere in Scotland, filled with trees thick and old. One lonely boy, almost a man, and his aged parents led simple lives, gathering berries sweet and sour, plants raw yet filling, hunting small game by the shrouded daylight, and camping with mere wood keeping them from the unnamed constellations in the cold night. They...

​“Harhar!”

Harry Potter, thrice retired Chief Auror, Headmaster, and Supreme Mugwump, stopped and spun on a dime, his robes flaring around him, and threw his hands into the air with a yell. “Who’s that?!”

“It’s me Harhar!” Giggling ensued as the littlest Potter, Harry’s great-great-great-grandson Artie Potter, toddled over holding a book and thrust it into Harry’s legs. “Up!”

In a heartbeat, Harry tossed his progeny fifty feet into the air...

He follows Death down the long, white halls that resemble the insides of bones. His dark hair stands out in stark relief to the white, his eyes the only color in the space.

“How long will you be gone?”

Death stills. Sometimes, he comes quickly. Sometimes, he comes slowly.

I DO NOT KNOW I WILL RETURN, MR. POTTER.

Harry looks down to the wand in his hand. “How will I know what to do?”

Death looks deep into...

"Dad, a story? Pleeease?"

"Voice down. Your sister's asleep." Arthur sat on a tiny child's chair beside his son's bed. He tucked the edges of the duvet under Ron so that he was snug and ran his fingers through the young boy's hair, "Just one, if you're quiet."

Ron beamed up at him.

"There were once three brothers, who were wandering down a long and winding roa—"

"Not that one," whispered Ron, "I want a new one, please."

Arthur paused. He didn't know any...

Isabelle went up to the rookery. There she saw three eggs in a nest. The eggs were large, nearly the size of her head, and spotted green. Wow, she thought, dragon eggs, recognizing them immediately due to their size. A Welsh Green must have laid these. The eggs would fetch a pretty price at the market, if she took them. She considering stealing them, but thought better of it. The wrath of their mother would be fierce, and she might destroy their nearby village,...

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Harry. He had black hair and green eyes and wore glasses, and he lived with his aunt and uncle and cousin.

One day they all went for a picnic over by Cornwall. Harry did not want to sit out in the sun with his family, so he took his lunch from his aunt. She gave him a sandwich and an apple, and his uncle gave him a shiny golden watch.

“Make sure you are back a two o’clock. We need to get home in time. And take care you don’t...

It was made of sullen things, all things great and small alike, be it a lover's heartbreak, or a blustering rainy day.

The people came to this tower and laid their woes upon its doorstep. With each sadness left behind, they departed in better moods, and a pebble of pain grew the tower that much more. For many years, this regular relief of their misery provided the villagers a welcome distraction, and the master of the...

One night, countless moons ago, death spilled from the sky.

While those who did not Know slept and dreamed, all those who could read the stars gazed fearfully at the sight above them. Every constellation as well as each planet and its moons foretold of an inferno of death and destruction that would come.

The centaurs saw it before the clouds even shifted – including Artemis, who cried in the throes of labor as she Saw the world her new foal would enter....

In over four hundred years, the Queen had never allowed so much as the tip of her nose past the ramparts. She never left the castle, nor did she give audience.


One stormy night, late in the year, Mil burst into the castle. His robes billowing in the chilly wind, he called an emergency meeting of...
