Love's Trial
TK and Carlos helped Harry to his feet, their expressions a blend of shock and awe. "What now?" TK asked, his voice a whisper in the quiet. Harry looked down at the artifact, now a harmless chunk of metal in his hand. "Now, we face the consequences," he replied, his voice heavy with the weight of their victory.
The wizarding world's response was swift and severe. The trio was summoned to the Ministry of Magic, where they were met with a sea of stern faces and accusations. "You've endangered us all!" a high-ranking wizard shouted. "Mingling with muggles is forbidden for a reason!"

As they navigated the complexities of their new reality, they found solace in the quiet moments—the warmth of a shared cup of coffee, the sound of a siren in the distance, the rustle of a page turning in a well-loved book. These moments, so simple yet so profound, reminded them of what truly mattered
