Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 24th, 1992, 8:05 PMMr. Cuffe took his wand out and pointed it to the dicta-quill, which got up from its resting place and stood on the top of the parchment, ready to write everything said."This is Barnabas Cuffe, Editor in Chief for the Daily Prophet, interviewing Lord and Lady Ravenclaw. The date is November twenty-fourth of the year nineteen ninety-two."Mr. Cuffe started saying and the dicta-quill immediately started writing on its own."I would like to start by thanking you, Lord and Lady Ravenclaw, for this opportunity given to our publication."Mr.Cuffe thanked Erik and Selena, who gave the man a nod."Your welcome, Mr. Cuffe. It was no problem at all, we decided to do it because we understand that the magic community of the British Isles would be naturally curious about us."Selena spoke to Mr. Cuffe."Yes, and I thank you two again for the opportunity. Let's start with some basic questions then. What are your full
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 24th, 1992, 8:27 PM"... Most of his fortune was gifted to Hogwarts to pay for first-generation students' studies, and the rest, together with some land, was divided between Selena and his daughter."Erik finished his tale. Mr. Cuffe was a little shocked by that. To think that the Hogwarts' founder that was known to be a blood purist is responsible for funding muggleborns' magical studies. He needed to know more about that."So, Lord Ravenclaw, you are saying that Salazar Slytherin, the founder that is known to be a blood purist, is the one funding muggleborns' magical studies?"Mr. Cuffe asked. Selena let out a giggle and Erik chuckled hearing the question."Mr. Cuffe, why would godfather be a blood purist when he was a second-generation wizard and his wife, the one that my husband already told you that he loved above everything, was a second-generation witch too?"Selena answered in Erik's place. Mr. Cuffe's face went fro
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 24th, 1992, 9:03 PM"We of the Daily Prophet, for sure, will be waiting to see Hogwarts' new age. Now for our next question…"Mr. Cuffe said and made a small pause to look through his notes."A question from another reader. Seeing as you are fixing up the education in Hogwarts, how would you compare it to the magical education of the rest of the world?""Hmm… Being totally honest with you, Mr. Cuffe, right now Hogwarts would barely enter my top ten list of magical schools world wide."Erik said seriously, shocking Mr. Cuffe."Is it really that low?""It is, Mr. Cuffe. But I hope that in three to five year, we could take a spot in the top three."Erik answered the man."Who are the actual top three magical schools in the world in your opinion today?""Top three, I would say, is Mahoutokoro, in Japan. Top two, I would say, is Ilvermorny, in the United States of America. Top one is Uagadou, in Uganda. The Uagadou is very famou
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 25th, 1992, 7:29 AM - WednesdayErik was again seated on the head of Ravenclaw's house table in the Great Hall and serving himself some latte when the day's newspaper appeared by his side. He took the time to finish serving his latte and drink a little before getting the newspaper to red. When Erik did it, he read the big headline on the front page of it.~~~~~~~~~~RAVENCLAWS TALK!First interview ever from the oldest wizard and witch alive!By Barnabas Cuffe~~~~~~~~~~Erik read the entire article written by Mr. Cuffe. The man wrote about his arrival at the school and his first impressions of Lord Ravenclaw. He continued about being invited to the owner's chambers of the castle and being introduced to Lady Ravenclaw and to Erik's other two wives. Mr. Cuffe went on to express his impressions on Erik's wives and what he had noticed during all the duration of the interview. Each part had a beautiful photo that accompanied th

During the search at the house, Bartemius Crouch Junior was found hiding under an invisibility cloak and under the Imperius Curse.

Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 29th, 1992, 1:33 PM - SundayErik and his big family were just finishing their lunch. They spent most of the morning time talking inside the owner's chambers. Well, at least it was what the woman did. Erik spent most time with a happy Serafall cuddling with him in his lap.Selena had offered the visitors a tour of the castle, and they did one. They visited most of the famous points inside the castle. The women's favorite spot was the astronomy tower. Being one of the tallest towers of the castle allowed it to give everyone who climbed it a wonderful view of the grounds around. The tour outside the castle would be done after lunch.As soon as everyone finished their lunch, Sona was pulling Erik from his seat. The castle's Lord followed the little devil with no problem, and got up from his seat while holding her hand."Come, big brother. You promised to show me the magical creatures."Sona demanded from Erik."Slow down, Sona
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 30th, 1992, 6:30 AM - MondayMonday started as normally as ever for Erik if not for the extra step of waking one of his wives too. Serafall had work to go back to today, so she had asked him to wake her up, and he did. He got up from a bed full of naked bodies after some work and set himself to wake Serafall."Sera… Time to wake up."Erik said near the ear of a sleeping Serafall. She was hugging Leona's naked body from behind and had her face snuggled in her bishop's mass of blonde hair."Hmmm… Don't wanna…"Serafall managed to murmur after giving out a moan-like sigh."Come on, Sera.""Hmmm… "Erik called her one more time, but he received another moan-like sigh as answer."Sera… I'm calling you early so we can have some fun in the shower… If you don't wake up, I'll have to take a shower alone."That seemed to do the trick. Serafall's eyes shot open inside the mass of blonde hair."Carry me?!"Serafall asked Erik, letting
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 30th, 1992, 9:25 AM - MondayErik was seated in the lounge area of the Headmaster's office, looking through the letters from people applying to teach History of Magic when he felt the wards warning of visitors. With a quick look at his wrist watch, Erik saw that it was almost time for the meeting and went back to reading the letters waiting for them to arrive in the office. Selena had already gone through the letter and scheduled the interviews, but she had asked him to go through them too.It was like that, reading letters, that two Unspeakables found Erik when they entered the Headmaster's office. Erik had let the door open for them to enter. He put the letters back down on the low central table of the lounge area and got up to greet the Unspeakables."Gentleman, good morning and welcome to Hogwarts."Erik said to the gray duo."Good morning, Lord Ravenclaw."Said one of the two Unspeakables, which Erik could deduce was C
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsDecember 1st, 1992, 08:31 PM - ThursdayErik, Selena, Joan and Leona were again inside the main chamber of Salazar's Secret Chamber. They had teleported directly inside it this time, as was way easier this way than flying down a bathroom's pipe.First thing that Erik did was to summon and launch, again, dozens of little balls of white light. With that, the chamber was well illuminated again."Okay girls. Let's divide and conquer. Selena and Joan will tackle the magic doors. Leona and I will see to the mechanical ones."Erik said to his wives and Selena walked to the first magical door, the one in the stone bust's mout, with Joan going after her. Erik then turned to Leona."Okay, Leona, lead the way."Erik said to Leona, who nodded her head and turned to where the first mechanical door was located. He followed Leona to one of the towering pillars and she went for the wall near it. Leona stopped by the wall and put her right hand over
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsDecember 1st, 1992, 01:21 AM - Thursday"I met some centaurs that live in the forest."Joan said to Erik. They had left Selena alone a little with Hilda's body to say her final goodbyes and were now out the main chamber, by the round door."And?"Erik said, expecting Joan to continue her tale. And she did."I found a group of them galloping in the direction where Selena was with the basilisk and appeared in front of them to stop them. One of the centaurs of the group ordered me to step aside. And I replied that they were welcome to pass by me if they wanted to look a thousand year old basilisk in the eyes. That shut the loud one up and a more gentle one asked me to explain. I said that I was one of the wives of Erik Ravenclaw, Lord of Ravenclaw and Hogwarts' castle and that I was entrusted to warn the denizens of the forest to stay out of the way of the basilisk. He asked what a basilisk would have been doing in the forest and I tol
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 30th, 1992, 10:23 PM - MondaySelena, hearing her name, took Erik's side and prepared herself for opening the door in the stone bust. She took a deep breath and steeled herself. Selena then pointed Slytheryn's sword's blade to the stone bust, pumped her magic into the sword and said in an out loud voice."OPEN."Different from the other two doors, the stone bust stood quiet and then, its eyes started to glow with an eerie green light. Selena felt that the statue was looking directly at her, judging her, and she looked directly at its green eyes while standing in place. For an instant nothing happened, and then the stone bust's eyes went off and the group heard the now common sound of stone grinding at stone. The stone bust's mouth started opening. It continued to open until its lower lips were just centimeters above the stagnant black water. Erik then heard a loud hissing sound."It's coming!"Erik said, and he felt Joan an

Selena will love to hunt it down."Erik said to Croaker, letting a big grin appear on his face just imagining what Selena will do to the soul of Tom Riddle."And when can you help us hunt it down?"Croaker asked Erik."How about this Wednesday? December 2nd?"Erik asks Croaker, giving him a date."That's good for us. What time?"Croaker replied and asked Erik."Two o'clock in the afternoon. Meet
