《The Boy Who Protected The One He Loves》18
Advertisement
I run through the corridors with Draco, casting every spell I know at Death Eaters. A Death Eater tried to fire the Killing Curse at me, but Draco pulled me out of the way.
"Thank you Draco," I pant with sweat dripping all over my face. Fighting was exhausting. Harry and Ron run through the fighting people and catch our attention. "Hermione, we need to destroy that Horcrux," Ron yells.
"I'll go with you guys," Draco says quickly, hugging my waist tight. "Okay, come with us," Ron says. Harry runs further and I run away with Ron and Draco.
"Where are we going," Draco asks. "We need to find something to destroy the Horcrux," Ron says. We are thinking while quickly walking further. "Wait," I say and both of them look at me. "What destroys a Horcrux? Basilisk venom.. the Chamber of Secrets," I scream in excitement, because I solved the case.
We run down to the Chamber of Secrets. But then: the sink, which only opens on Parseltongue. "But we can't speak Parseltongue," Ron says. "I can.. a little bit, but still," Draco says. "Really, how," I ask him.
"I lived with You-Know-Who and Nagini in one place, then you sometimes get to hear Parseltongue, I have experienced." He turns his head to the sink and begins to try. On the 4th try the sink opens.
We go through the pipe and our clothes are covered in green slime. With my wand I clean myself and the others, because that stuff stinks. "Come on," Ron says and he runs further. But then, another door with Parseltongue!
"Salazar Slytherin really loved Parseltongue, didn't he," Ron asks Draco. Draco shrugs and he begins to speak Parseltongue again.
"This is beautiful and frightening on the same time," Draco says when he admires the Chamber. Ron and I run over to the Basilisk body and Ron pulls out a fang. "Here Hermione, you haven't got the honour, did you," Ron asks with a grin. I grab the fang and my lower lip quivers.

Then.. I smash the fang into the Hufflepuff Cup. Draco soon joins us and he got to destroy Ravenclaw's diadem. We all walk back, Draco a bit before us. "Hermione, may I do something," Ron asks.
I look confused at him and frown my eyebrows. He leans in and begins to kiss me. I slap him on his chest and try to make noise. It kinda worked, because Draco turns around and his expression turns into anger.
He punches Ron's jaw and his lips separate from mine. Draco sits on Ron's body and punches his face with his fists. "DON'T *punch* EVER *punch* HIT *punch* ON MY *punch* GIRLFRIEND *punch* AGAIN!"
Ron groans in pain. I grab Draco around his waist and pull him off. Draco grabs my hand and pulls me with him, far away from Ron.
After minutes of fighting and trying to kill Nagini we stand before Voldemort's troops. Lucius stands next to Draco and I stand next to Narcissa. Bellatrix looks disgusted at her sister and brother-in-law.
I cry quietly because of Harry's death into Draco's chest. We've warned him to not go after Voldemort, but he didn't listen. Now.. all our hope is gone. Draco hugs my waist and rubs my side.
"Stay strong Hermione," he whispers. I nod and stare back at the enemies. But suddenly Harry jumps out of the arms of Hagrid, hexing Nagini and Voldemort's people. "HARRY'S ALIVE," Lucius yells with excitement.
Never thought he would do that, I think with a smile. Draco and I run away, hand-in-hand, and curse every Death Eater we cross.
Not much time later the fight is over and we just saw Voldemort dieing. Bellatrix was dead, but not only bad people died. Fred was also gone, just as Lupin, Tonks, Sybill Trelawny and Lavender Brown.

Draco and I hug each other. "When are Fleur and Andromeda coming," I ask him quietly. "Tomorrow. Don't worry love, Scorpius will be safe." "I hope so," I whisper in his ear. I close my eyes and try to ignore the cries and sadness around me.
When I open my eyes again I see Lucius hugging Narcissa tightly, comforting her. Even though she was awful and bad, Bellatrix was still her sister. "Hermione, honey, can we speak with you," Molly Weasley asks.
I nod and separate myself from Draco. "Hermione, dear, we have.. a proposal for you," Arthur says. "What for proposal, Mr Weasley?" "Well.. with... with Fre-.. with-" "I know what you mean Mr Weasley," I reply, hoping to lessen his pain about Fred.
"Okay, well, after.. that.. we thought: maybe you want to stay at the Burrow for a while? The Malfoys can come as well if they want." "I will ask them Mr Weasley, thank you for your kindness."
I walk back to the mourning Malfoys. "Draco.. Lucius, Narcissa," I begin. They all turn around to me. "What is it Hermione," Narcissa asks quietly, her eyes red and puffy. "Mr Weasley.. Mr Weasley and his family asked us to stay over at the Burrow for a while."
"Tell them we will accept their kind proposal Hermione, I think it will bring us some good to be away from the Manor for a while, with all those depressing thoughts and memories," Lucius replies to me. Draco pushes me softly to his waist and we stare at Bellatrix's lifeless body.
How could this escalate so greatly? How can we recover?

My Pixie Familiar
Pixies are real. Not only are they real, but are considered pests due to their mischievous nature and love of pranks. Some people think they are magical and making a potion or powder from their wings will transfer that magic to a person. Any good alchemist will tell you that is not true. Most will gladly take your money and make you a "magic potion" though. My name is Jase Fisher and I thought I would follow in the steps of my mother and become an alchemist since I didn't enjoy fishing, hunting, or any of the other trades offered in Beau Ferry, my village. Not only have I been looking forward to being an alchemist, I was looking forward to bonding with a familiar. My biggest fear is not bonding with one of the exciting familiars such as a dragonet. If I can just make it through the bonding process, my life is set. Oh, and not run afoul of any pixie pranks.

Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

The Heart is a Void: Ashes to Ashes
For Karel, the search for power erodes the sense of mercy. When a bug traps players in a new, immersive VRMMO, and begins to undermine the system that protects them from experiencing pain in combat, the players scramble to avoid becoming victimised. Some seek to hide or gain protection in Guilds, others seek power at all costs. Rumours of torture and possibly even real death begin to spread. Many would-be heroes strive to protect themselves and others by becoming powerful mages, mastering the power of the elements, or training at combat with large weapons. While Karel had begun by trying to enhance his mage powers as far as possible, he eventually becomes disillusioned with this as he sees the power of others who use unconventional and amoral means to take advantage of the bugged game. As he explores this new, Free-For-All world, he must turn to cunning and ruthlessness to get ahead.

Revenant
Everyone dies. Not everyone gets back up again afterward. The Deep Paths are a cursed place, meant for those similarly cursed souls whom the gods themselves denied the sweet release of death. Revenants haunt the underworld, wielding forbidden powers and often consuming those who lack the strength to join them. At least, that's the story that parents teach their kids up on the surface. Reshid can't remember what he might have done to deserve such a fate, but he learns quickly that there is more to undeath than the gods and their faithful preach to the living. Revenants have a unique connection to essential magics that allows them to develop their powers in extremely diverse ways. Wherever there is power, though, there are those seeking to wield it, whether they be governments and gods from above, or mythical elder races from below.
