[10 AM September 1, 1935]
I finally got to kings cross station
Alexander was at the station entrance with a small carry-on suitcase
"I must thank Jack for showing me the place, without a doubt he is a good man, I hope that fate does not make us have to face each other, it would be sad to have to kill him," Alexander thought as he entered the train station "
"There are enough people around here"
As he walked looking for platform 9 and 10, everything he saw seemed normal, he saw no signs of wizards or children
as he walked along with the station platform, he looked at the numbering
platform 5 and 6
platform 7 and 8
This is the one I'm looking for, between platform 9 and 10 is platform 9¾ '
"According to Jack, the entrance is on the face of the wall that is on the side of the main entrance, I just have to walk through it and go through"
It seemed kind of strange, I wonder what kind of spell they used so that no Muggle noticed in all these years
Gently I approach the brick wall and at a gentle pace but without stopping I cross the wall
as I go through I can see how what looked like a brick wall was just an illusion, I crossed smoothly, as if passing through a cloud
on the other side, the scene that awaited me was totally different from the Muggle station
There was a fairly large Red train, I can see that there are many young people, the smallest are usually accompanied by their parents or by an adult wizard
something that caused me curiosity is that most of them bring all their suitcases to the train, it seems that paying to take your school supplies to school is a redundant or excessive expense for many wizard families

Watching the scene where children say goodbye to their parents makes me want to smoke a cigarette.
one of the hobbies I've had this last month and a half is smoking some cigarettes and drinking a good glass of whiskey
thanks to friend Tom from Leaky Cauldron, I had some trouble convincing him that they weren't for me
although I still suspect that he firmly believes that it is for my consumption
but I think that he doesn't care what I do with it, as long as I pay him
It is not a very healthy habit, even when I am a child, but what does it matter, this is a world of magic, if a health problem happens, I will surely be able to solve it in the future
I will be surprised if Nicolas Flamel can live more than 600 years and I cannot solve the problems derived from drinking alcohol and smoking
I was also able to verify that drinking alcohol has a positive influence when doing my meditations
I am delighted that that was the case, I had not had a drink of liquor in many years.
as I get on the train and look for a place to sit, I found a cabin with two children, I decided to go into that
After opening the sliding door, I introduce myself "good morning, my name is Alexander Gaunt, if it's not too much trouble I'd like to sit here"
Both children look at me and one of them replies "sure, sit down"
So I quickly detail them, because it seems that my train companions are quite curious
as I sit down, the same young man who had just spoken introduced himself "Hello, my name is Filius Flitwick and he is Mundungus Fletcher, we are both freshmen"
As I listen to Filius introduce himself I can't help but compare him to the Gringotts bank goblins, he's really little,

It seems that while thinking about it Filius realized, while giving me a rather serious look he said "I'm a Half-blood, I have goblin blood in my veins"
"How interesting, I don't think it's very common to see a young wizard with goblin blood" I replied while giving a small smile
It seems that it was not the answer that Filus expected, surely he is subject to discrimination
About the other boy, Mundungus, he seems quite shy because he does not speak, although I can see something in his eyes, something different
"I am also a freshman, I hope we get along very well and succeed this year," I told them both
then I closed my eyes
while resting I thought about what the future held for me
this last month and a half I continued with my training, meditation every day, and many hours of reading
I've been preoccupied with the issue of visions since that time I almost died, but I didn't have any again at this time.
it should probably be one of my priorities, researching all about divination and visions
I'm sure the library has books on these topics

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.

How to Break an Evil Curse
Curse is a fairytale-flavored fantasy that challenges its characters to step outside their comfort zone and defy their archetypal roles. It centers on the life of Princess Julianna. She may be cursed to live in darkness, but she’s no damsel in distress. Tired of living in a dungeon with her criminally-minded ghost friends, she risks sunburn, social-awkwardness, and revolutionaries to save herself from the monotony of boring princess stereotypes. Our intrepid and intelligent heroine sallies forth into a world of hyper-masculine pirates, sensitive-dude types, travelling theater troupes, asparagus, secret tunnels, banjos, concussions, outlaws, revolutionaries, magic, women’s rights crusaders, curses, and difficult life choices. Faced with the realities outside her castle walls, Julianna begins to suspect that the real world is far more complicated than the black-and-white fairy tale she and her family occupied.

The Shattered Universe Saga - Deus Vult Alpha from Omega
This is book one. Rick West, a wounded Marine with a very unique past is transported, with a significant portion of Earth's population, to a new universe. One that is shattered and yet to coalesce under a divine law. This is the story of a military man who begins the saga immature, rough, careless of other’s feelings. A young man whose focus is on getting laid, fighting, and winning at every turn, regardless of cost. He gets caught up in a strange occurrence, along with a billion others, and finds himself in an oddly familiar place where life is lived as a timed-event role-playing game. He discovers that within the shattered universe he is a Mystic Player, a Marshal, a figure of power, potential, and probability. If he wins, he may even able to wrestle unto himself the very throne of heaven. Rick starts to build his Pantheon with his most trusted companions, friends, family, and a harem of strong and talented women. He faces challenges within himself and others, and also must lead his faction into battle with men and monsters. As Rick and his companions progress through the adventure games within the pocket universe, he develops a greater understanding of his humanity and the qualities of what makes each of us uniquely valuable. He grows mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, without really noticing how he is leaving his old existence behind. Striving against him for truly ultimate power are a thousand others with the same potential, the same possibilities. All are aligned on the spectrum from the brightest of minds, the lightest of hearts, to the darkest of souls. All Mystic Players, be they Monster or Marshal, share one characteristic. They thrive in chaos. And a shattered universe is a universe in chaos. At the end of the Saga, will the winner be someone worthy of emulation and even, if it were appropriate, of worship as an exemplar of divinity. Will the title granted to the Final Victor be EXEMPLAR, or will the title be DESPOILER? That is the question.
