The Chapter I have no name for
"She called for another meeting?" Ella whispered to Cedric next to him in the Great Hall, where right now everyone was having breakfast. "Yep, we should go now." He stood up, followed by Ella who was next to him.
The other's attention turned to them, "Where are you going?"
"We..uh- meeting with my cousin. Meet you in the common room." She waved at them before running to the entrance of the Great Hall with Cedric.
After running out of the Great Hall, she suddenly stopped, realizing something, "What about Fred and George?"
"I'm sure their brother told them." Cedric continues to run.
As they arrived in the same empty classroom, they met once again with the Circle Of Khanna. Fred and George had arrived before them with their brother, Charlie Weasley. Tonks came with a few friends, knowing Ella would come with either Cedric or the twins.
"We're early. She's not here yet." Cedric sighed in relief. Right after he finished his word, Jacob's sibling arrived along with Beatrix Haywood.
"What do you reckon this meeting is about." She whispered to Cedric. Jacob's sibling called everyone to face her as she was about to announce something, "Let's find out." Cedric replied.
"It's time we move forward with finding the final cursed vaults. It seems very likely that it's located in Black Lake. So we'll need to be prepared for whatever the lake throws at us." She continues, "What sort of dangers could we expect to encounter,"
"Tentacles, Grindylows, Merpeople.... it sounds like we still don't know enough about the Black Lake.
Charlie Weasley, who seems to say something, spoke. "We know the Grindylows are dangerous, but we can't say for sure whether the Giant Squid poses a threat. Let alone the Merpeople."

All attention went to Diego, "And we still don't know how best to combat the Grindylows, if the need arises."
"I hope it doesn't..." Said Liz.
"In other words, we're still in dark. What we need right now is an expert opinion. Let's go have a word with Professor Kettleburn. A discreet word, if possible."

She arrived in her dormitory and found Amanda lying on her bed, holding her stomach. "Ok, Amanda?"
"Yeah...I just ate something bad that's all." She gave Ella an 'OK' sign. "Did you go to the hospital wing?"
Amanda shakes her head, "It's fine though."
Ella nodded her head, taking a glance at her once again before heading out of the dormitory. "Hoped you feel better, tonight we have the Hufflepuff gathering remember?"
"Yeah..." Ella nodded again and exited the dormitory.
She was about to leave the common room when she heard James calling out her names and running to her. "Oh hey, James." She greeted.
James was panting, how far did he run until he was tired like this? "I need your help, please. It's a do or dies situation."
"What happened?" Ella asked in a concerning tone.
James suddenly smiles while panting, waving his hand, "Nothing, need to you help me with my plants that all."
Ella frowned, "What's wrong with your plants?"
James showed her the way to his dormitory which he shared with Cedric, Jake, and another 2 students. He pointed towards a broken pot. "It broke, I don't know how to fix it!"
"Sorry, Jake..but I don't really know any spell, I didn't pay much attention in class, to be honest." She laughs nervously. "But I think Sera know!"
Ella walk out of the dormitory and dragged Seraphina from the common room where she was chilling warmly by the fire to James's dormitory.

"He needs you to fix it or the plants die." She shrugged. Seraphina had a look that basically asked James what she is talking about until James pointed at his broken pot.
"I'm not sure if it will die though.." James scratches his head.
Seraphina took out her wand and called out, "Reparo." The broken pot rose, putting them back into pieces as James looked at it with amazed. "Thank you! I almost had a heart attack."
The next day after a cheerful night when they were gathering in the common room. She had been exhausted by helping James or Jake. Thank goodness it was the weekend, she could stay on her bed for hours if she'd like. Tonks would of course go to Hogsmead, even though they were in the same house, she didn't speak much with her cousin. Tonks had been helping out so much with the circle of Khanna.
She would usually talk to Tonks about breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes greet each other when they found each other in the common room, but usually one of them would be busy.
-Time skipped-
Now, Summer break has finally arrived, the year for the first year in Hogwarts was finally over! She missed staying in her room and hanging out with Tonks, Andromeda, and Teddy. She of course missed Remus as well.
"Aurors?" Andromeda raised an eyebrow. "Yes, I mean. I would love to work as an Auror after I finished my N. E. W. T of course."
Andromeda is now staring at Ella. "What would you want to work as after Hogwarts."
"Aunt Andy, I will only be 3rd year soon. I don't know what my ambition is, but I reckon a Magizoologist?" She had always dreamed to work with magical creatures and studying about them.
It will be the last year she will ever get to pranks Filch with Tonks, the twin had completely become a bad influence to Ella, Tonks didn't mind. She found it amusing how Ella is now pranking Filch. Andromeda however was a bit disappointed, she wanted Ella to behave, but what does she expect? She had been dragged into the prankster life by Tonks or the twin.
"I honestly hate to see you go, Dora.." Ella pouted playfully as she sat on her cousin's bed, who was writing something. "Don't be, Ellie. You can owl I remember? Cassiopeia is a smart owl because I was the one who picked her." Said Tonks proudly.
Rolling her eyes playfully, Ella stood up from Tonks's bed just over on her bed.
Her friends no longer called her 'Black' or 'Tonks's cousin' anymore. Each people had their own nicknames for each other, some fun parts about being in Hufflepuff to her that her age students gave her nicknames.
Ella, her common name was used often. Talicia Daniel used to call her by a weird name, like Nutella. Ella had no idea what is Nutella. She and Talicia hadn't talked for a long time, Ella reckon she might be dead but smacked herself for thinking such things.

Office Days
Follow Captain Monday and the Weekdays team as they fight the good fight against the villainous Weekends. Oh, and file form a33-2 before eoq3. Comes with a dash of The Office and Office Space plus a side of Super Hero satire. Office Days is episodic in nature. So each story is standalone and may vary in length and focus. The Monday Case is the first episode and serves mostly to introduce the characters broadly. Comments get +Rep for effort. This setting was intended to be a comic series but I never found an artist for the job... probably for lack of trying. The "art" is for concept only... it took me far too long to make and it's still all sub-par.

The Core, The Recordings of Raan - Fantasy LitRPG Story
The blue screens all around blink like crazy with red letters saying how I'm dead. I rage and wave my hands, but punch nothing but air. Then I remember what I was told, breathe in deeply, trying to steady my mind, smooth my anger, letting the blue vertigo take me with it, letting myself go...Hard-time convicts from a space orbital penitentiary are sent to a hostile planet where odds of survival are minimal. To make things even worse, their memories seemed to be wiped clean. But their killers' instincts are not, and they soon kick in.For a space wars old-timer Raan, it's all different. He remembers everything. And that's a problem. As others fight for survival, he remembers how most of them, himself included, should not even deserve to have a second chance.In a strange new world, as he fights his own demons, he is faced with new ones whose names he does not even know. But giving up is not inside his DNA and fight on he must. For to stop is to die, and to die means he failed, failed himself and all those who still desperately need him.***The Author's Note:This is another in the Core series, the first one being The Wardens of Destiny while there is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.The Recordings of Raan occurs after the events in The Wardens of Destiny, and it's a separate thread from the main story. Among other things, I separated it into a new book as it has elements of progressive LitRPG and a fantasy-world setting.Since I'll keep on writing The Wardens of Destiny, this will be one of my side-projects. Eventually in the future, I plan to integrate some of the protagonists in this story with the main storyline.

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.
