    Thank you for reading. I'm glad you're enjoying. That's something I hadn't considered. Thing is, I don't think the book ever says mentions her again after Chamber of Secrets and for some reason I always assumed she was dead. When Aragog dies in Half Blood, Hagrid doesn't mention her. She also...

    Threadmarks: Tilly

    Tilly watched the carriages moving down the path, holding her breath. She had her face pressed against the window glass, in a vain hope that, by watching it leave, it would go away faster. The minutes dragged, and Tilly’s anxiety built. She pulled on her ears to calm down. Deek tried to drag...

    And there we have it. I really wanted to get this one out. I cut a few segments, which I'll introduce later in the next book. Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed. Next part will take a while until I start posting. I want to read the book first, and plan the overall details about...

    Taylor gripped her wand, sweat dripping from her brow. She ducked under the ray of red light, brandishing her wand in return. She yelled, “Flipendo!” There was a cry, then a crash and a pained moan. Taylor didn’t escape unscathed. A spell hit her in the face, and Taylor's mouth was suddenly...

    The Burrow was amazing in a wholly different way. It probably had been, at some point in the distant past, a stone pigpen. New rooms had been added to the house and it was now several storeys tall. The rooms over the base house were crooked and perilously dangling. Taylor guessed that there had...

    Breakfast had been awesome. Taylor couldn’t tell what it was, aside from how it looked. It was some sort of fried bun/cake/thingy that was probably a mixture of veggies and meat. She passed on the drink (Gurdyroot infusion again), and once she had eaten, she left the house with Luna to explore...

    Oof. We are caught up to Ao3. Here is some notes from previous chapters that might be worth posting here too: From chapter 43: Next is visiting Luna and Ginny's house. Friendship stuff, talking with Xeno and acquiring the prime suspect for the mind whammy plot. After that, back at Hogwarts...

    Whatever Taylor had expected Luna's house to be, it wasn't a chess rook. Maybe she was being uncharitable, but it was a black cylindrical tower with crenellations and all, on top of a hill with a stream at the base of it. Castle or Rook. The house yard was surrounded by a wooden fence and the...

    Taylor’s mum spent the night at the castle. The talk she was expecting didn’t happen, even if Taylor felt compelled to justify her actions. “I couldn’t put it into letters, Mum,” Taylor said once they were alone and there was no one nearby to overhear. “What if they stole your letters again...

    Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore The sun had hidden behind the horizon and it was almost time for dinner. Albus picked up the diary again. It was the most curious thing. He could feel the dark magic wafting from the cursed object. For all intents and purposes, it was still a horcrux...

    Taylor found herself some hours later, along with Luna, in the Hospital Wing facing the headmaster. Dumbledore had returned to the school before students were sent away. After checking that Ginny was alive and well, he put an end to that confusion. With Ginny ‘found’, he didn’t see a reason to...

    Taylor would have liked to say an epic battle was fought and won, but the truth was somewhat more anticlimactic than that. Her prepared spiders caught the moment when the serpent slithered out from behind the statue, a hole in the side opening up in the stone to allow it through. The serpent...

    Sneaking out of the dormitory wasn’t that hard. After packing up what they needed for this trip, Taylor used her bugs to keep track of everyone, making it easy to avoid being spotted. The professors were too busy preparing to send the students home to pay attention. Taylor guided Luna to avoid...

    Taylor huddled into a dark corner (of the common room) spying on the whole castle. She liked to think of these times like she was some sort of deadly spider, sitting in the centre of her web, hearing and seeing everything. From one thread of her weave, she saw a trio of Slytherins, led by...
