《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》LXVII. Ferret
Advertisement
I walk through the halls as nearly all the gryffindors and some hufflepuffs/ravenclaws wear the 'Harry Potter stinks' pin.
Most of the slytherins truly did pity the boy so they mainly decided against wearing it. Plus he was my brother and I'm friends with most of the slytherins so it would just be rude.
Cedric lays down on the bench as I sit on the grass, reading a book. After I swore on my magic, all the hate was directed towards Harry which I felt slightly bad for.
"Oi, look. Harry." One of Cedric's friends says as Cedric sits up, looking at Harry.
"Oh, what's that say?" another male questions as he points towards his badge.
"Read the badge, potter!" The female taunts as I roll my eyes.
"Can I have a word?" He asks Cedric as Cedric glances towards me, I nod and stand up as Cedric die the same.
"You stink potter!" Another male yells as Cedric fake laughs at his 'friends' before giving Harry an apologetic look when he turns back towards him.
"Dragons." Harry states as Cedric tilts his head in confusion.
"That's the first task." I add on as Cedric's eyes widen slightly.
"They've got one for each of us." Harry explains before another boy yells for Cedric.
"D— are you serious?" Cedric's asks as I roll my eyes.
"No, sirius is our godfather, he's Harry." I remake as a small grin forms on Cedric's face before turning back to serious.
"What she means to say, is yes, I'm serious." Harry corrects as I simply laugh.
"And um... fleur and krum, do they?..." Cedric asks as I nod.
"I've already told them." I explain before I feel eyes on me, I glance around to see Moody hiding behind an archway, I roll my eyes as I glare at the man.
"Hey, listen, about the badges... I've asked them not to wear them, but—" he gets cut off by Harry.
"Don't worry about it." Harry smiles at the boy before walking away, I stay behind as I glance at Cedric.
"We've gone through enough, some badges won't effect him too much. Remember my second year?" I explain with a grin as Cedric's sighs, clearly worried about the boy but slowly nods.

"Don't worry, I'll still check up on him." I explain before running back towards Harry.
"You're a right foul git, you know that?" Harry snaps as Ron as I glare at the weasel with a hand on my lip.
"You think so?" Ron scowls at the boy.
"I know so." Harry corrects as Ron scoffs.
"Anything else?" Ron asks as my glare hardens at the male.
"Just stay away from him." I demand as I step infront of my brother.
"Whatever." Is all Ron says before shoving past us.
"Why so tense, potter?" I hear Draco taunt as I glance towards him only to see him sitting in a tree.
"My father and I have a bet, you see. I don't think you're going to last ten minutes in this tournament." Draco explains as he jumps down from the tree and walks towards us.
"He disagrees. He thinks you don't last five." Draco laughs as Harry glares at the boy.
"I don't give a damn what your father thinks, malfoy." Harry says as he pushes Draco, I sigh as I walk over and lean against the tree, watching it play out.
Harry walks closer to Draco as i quirk an eyebrow in amusement. A small blush appears on Draco's face but quickly dissapears as he glares at the shorter boy.
"He's vile and cruel and yours just pathetic." Harry explains with a scoff before turning around and walking off.
"He really needs to find a better way to get Harry's attention..." I whisper to myself before I notice Draco taking out his wand out of its hooded.
"Oh, no you don't, sonny!" Moody exclaims he casts a spell at Draco, turning him into a ferret.
"I'll teach you to curse someone when their back is turned!" Moody scolds as I look in amusement at the small ferret as I kneel down and pick him up.
"Aren't you just the cutest little thing as a ferret?!" I exclaims as the ferret bites me, I flinch but simply snicker at the ferret as it glares at me.

"Cmon Draco, I want to pet you!" I exclaim as I chase after the ferret.
"Professor moody! What is going on?!" Mcgonagall exclaims as she runs over.
I grab the ferret as it glare at me, trying to scratch its way out of my arms.
"Teaching." Moody responds as Minerva looks confused.
"Is that a—? Is that a student?!" Mcgonagall asks, shocked as I grin at her.
"Technically, it's a ferret." Moody explains as he casts a spell to make Draco float out of my arms as he spins up and down in the air.
Mcgonagall quickly turns him back into a human before I try to grab the ferret again.
"And it's back to boring old Draco malfoy again.." I mutter with a pout as I stand up, dusting my robes off.
Draco quickly stands up as he glances around confused before he faces moody, eyes widening as he staggers back.
"My father will hear about this!!" Draco exclaims as he backs up.
"Is that a threat?" Moody questions as he puts his wand back.
"Professor moody!" Mcgonagall exclaims as moody chases after Draco.
"Is that a threat?!" Moody repeats as Draco runs away.
"Professor!!!" Mcgonagall snaps as moody turns towards her before noticing Draco running back in the building.
"I could tell you stories about your father that would curl even your greasy hair, boy!!" Moody exclaims as Draco continues running.
"Alastor!" Mcgonagall repeats as she stops moody form running after the boy.
"It doesn't end here!!!"
"Alastor." Mcgonagall states as moody glares at the woman before backing up slightly. "We never use transfiguration as a punishment! Surely dumbledore told you that."
Moody looks down as the woman glares at him. "He might have mentioned it..."
"Well, you will do well to remember it." She scolds before walking off.
Moody sticks his tongue out at the women as I snort. He scowls one final time before starting to walk off.
"You two. Come with me." Moody demands as me and Harry follow him.
———
He limps into his office as he takes off his fake leg, leaning back.
"That's a foe-glass. Let's me keep an eye on my enemies." Moody explains as he points towards it.
Suddenly the chest starts to shake as a man shouting can be heard inside before it goes quiet again.
"Won't even bother telling you two what's in there. You wouldn't believe it if I did." Moody says as Harry glances towards the box before looking back at moody.
"Now..." he trails off as he looks through his desk for a quill. "What are you two going to do about your dragons?"
"Oh.. Um... well, you know, I thought I'd..." Harry trails off as moody sighs, shaking his head.
"Sit." He states as he pushes two stools in our direction. I sit in one as Harry sits in the other.
"Listen to me potters... your pal, diggory? By your age he could turn a whistle into a watch. And have it sing you the time. Miss delacour? She's as much a princess as I am. As for krum, his head may be filled with sawdust, but karkaroff's is not. They'll have a strategy. And you can bet that it will play to krums strengths!" Moody exclaims as Harry slowly nods.
"Come on, potters. What are your strengths?" He asks as I glance towards nyx.
"Well, I can speak with snakes... pretty sure there was a partly-snake dragon there so I may be able to speak to it if I get it.. other than that all I'm basically useless." I shrug as moody nods in understands but gives me a suspicious look when I say I'm useless.
"And I'm... um... I don't know. Well, I can fly. I mean, I'm a flair flyer." Harry explains as moody nods.
"Better than fair, the way I heard it." Moody grins as Harry sighs.
"But I'm not allowed a broom..." Harry mutters as moody rolls his eye.
"Your allowed a wand."

Trickster's Tale
Be careful when demanding reparations from gods. They rarely own up to their mistakes. Due to a goddess's shortsighted error, Perry finds himself transported to a distant Universe with new proportions and a different identity. Instead of cowering before the deity, he demands she opens a portal home or provides reparations for him and his bereaved family. Unfortunately, standing up for himself doesn't earn Perry respect. Instead, she curses him with cowardice, limiting his combat and magical potential. Little does the goddess know that nothing can stand in the way of Perry's sheer will. If brute strength and arcane might won't get him the justice he desires, wit and creativity will. Perry's first target? A goblin shaman. Then, the world. And so begins, the bard's ballad. Trickster's Tale (Book 1): Is That A Lute In Your Pocket will release on Kindle Unlimited on the 10th of May.Due to KU's exclusivity rules, I've had to take most of book 1 down.Book 1 Bard's Ballad takes place in the same extended Universe as my other story, The Houndsman. It's set on a distant 'disk', though. As a result, the magic system is unique in comparison and has a harder LitRPG system. While the story utilises stats, it doesn't take them seriously and occasionally makes fun of regular LitRPG mechanics.

D Days
Dragons were the apex predators of the magical world, feared for their strength and intelligence. They stood at the pinnacle of creation, until mankind fueled by fear and envy banded together and struck them down as the greatest threat to the continued existence of their kingdoms. Peace reigned for many years across the continent, until an accident in the Magocracy of Ken turned one of the most powerful mage lords into a power mad lich. Raising an undead army and creating a cult that worshipped him like a god, he cut a bloody swath across the continent in a bid to create his own domain. A great alliance consisting of the Kingdom of Light, the Magocracy of Ken, the Forest Kingdom of the Elves, the Mountain Kingdom of the Dwarves, and the Wild Tribes of the West rose up and the high lich was defeated, his armies destroyed, and his cult scattered. Still recovering, the world is a constant state of petty power struggles and back biting between nations. Border disputes are common and the constant fighting has taken a toll on the populations of all the nations. Of course, none of this has much bearing on the everyday life of a an ordinary young orphan in the care of a Temple run home. Or does it? *Current Word Count as of 8/4/18: 59,415 I am shooting for at least one update a week. Also, if you see any mistakes let me know and I will fix them. Cover by!*
