《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》XLVI. Diadem & A Chat With Lupin
Advertisement
I stand infront of a wall as the diary remains clutched in my hands.
I think of the horcrux— raven claws lost diadem— as a door appears. I quickly open it before closing it behind me, the door disappeared as i glance around the cluttered room.
Tom materialized infront of me as he glances around the room aswell.
"Why did you have to put it in such a cluttered room?" I ask annoyed as he shrugs before disappearing back into the diary.
I groan before I start to try and find the diadem, digging through piles of random stuff.
Eventually, twenty minutes later, I turned around to see it sitting on a table.
I pause before snatching the diadem angrily as I storm out of the room.
"Why must it always be me?!"
———
"Now remember, these visits to hogsmeade village are a privilege. Should your behavior reflect poorly on the school in any way, that privilege shall not be extended again." Mcgonagall says as I lean against the wall with a bored look against my face.
Apparently, even though I have the permission slip signed, I can't go cause dumblefuck said so!!
"No permission form signed, no visiting the village. That's the rule, potter." Mcgonagall says as Harry walks up to her.
"All those with permission, follow me. Those without, stay put." Filch demands as he walks off, the students following him.
"But Professor, I thought if you signed it, then I could go." Harry explains as Mcgonagall gives him an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, it's headmaster dumbledores orders that I can't sign it. Either way, he wants you and your sister to stay in hogwarts for your safety." Mcgonagall apologized as I see weasley grin before walking off.
Draco and Hermione stay behind as potter sighs.

I walk towards them as Harry glances back at me, seemingly just noticing me.
"Sorry y/n." Hermione apologizes as Draco nods.
"I'll get something for you, I promise." Draco says as I nod with a smile.
"It's alright." I say before turning back towards Harry and walking off with Harry.
———
"Professor, can I ask you something?" Harry asks Lupin as Lupin sighs. I trail behind Harry as I have nothing better to do.
"You want to know why I stopped you facing the boggart, yes? I would have thought it'd be obvious. I assumed it would take the shape of lord Voldemort." Lupin says as Harry sighs.
"I did think of that... at first." Harry doesn't elaborate as Lupin sighs.
"You know Harry, y/n, when I first saw the both of you I recognized you immediately. Not by your scars, by your eyes. Harry, both your eyes are the same as lilys while y/n has one of lilys eyes and the other is e/c." Lupin says as he leans against the wood. Me and Harry look at him confused.
"Yes. Oh, yes. I knew her. Your guys mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others. Even, and perhaps most especially, when that person could not see it in themselves." Lupin explains fondly as I look over at the male.
"Well, your guys father, James, on the other hand, he, uh..." he trails off as he chuckles slightly before continuing. "He had a certain, shall we say, talent for trouble. A talent, rumor has it... he passed on to you two."
"You're more like them than you two know. In time, you'll come to see just how much." Lupin mutters as I stare at the castle blankly.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
