Minion Acquisition
“Uh, Harry?” said Alicia. “What are you doing with your wand? I thought you were going to point out the culprit.”
“That’s what I’m doing,” Harry said.
“But your wand is aimed at me.”
Harry was still at the top of the podium. Only now, he had his wand out, and just like Alic...

There are two more chapters, and right now the plan is to release them together. This story should really be five chapters ahead for you guys, not just three, based on the chapter lengths. My goal is to get it ther...

Where Does it Start?
Hinata turned to the right. She turned to the left. She turned to the right again, then the left again, then frowned. The hem of her dress swished around her ankles as she watched her reflection in the mirror. She turned away, beginning to tug the dress off.
“This one isn’t right either,” she said.

Going for a Drink
Harry was having a good day. He slept in. He got ahead on his work, picking what books he wanted to teach to his sixth year class. He was feeling both productive and rested, much fresher than he had been after his extremely long day earlier that week.
Then a portrait cleared its throat.
The man in the frame h...
2025-01-28 09:18:40 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I wanted to do two chapters today, but my left wrist has been hurting, and I'm trying to be careful with typing so I had to go a lot slower than usual. I'll still have at least one chapter up tomorrow.

Weary
Every step Harry took sent a lance of irritation straight up to his brain.
Irritation, not pain. Or, pain was a part of it, but it wasn’t the whole thing. Something was trying to break out of his brain. Harry wasn’t letting it escape. That didn’t make ‘it’ stop trying.
He used the wall to support him as he turn...

Testing the Waters
Harry’s steps squelched on the slick cobblestones underfoot as he made sure to look to his left, then his right, then his left again and so on. What was important was that his head was always on the swivel, as if looking out of an imminent threat creeping out of the shadows.
And there were plenty of shadows here...

It’s no Use
The wall dispensed Hinata’s mouse mask seconds after she activated it. For the first time ever, she found herself irritated by how long it took. It wasn’t fast enough. Nothing was fast enough.
It was strange, the feeling that had developed in the pit of her stomach— warm and uncomfortable, like she guzzled an ent...
2025-01-22 06:13:21 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: There won't be a chapter tomorrow. I usually don't write Mondays as a break day to avoid burnout. I'll do one double update day next week to balance it out on my mission for 21 chapters in 21 days. Still on track for right now.

Fleur’s brush swished with a deft flick, smearing bright blue paint. She curved the motion, coloring the shingles of one last rampart, before stepping back from her easel and admiring her work.
A broad canvas faced her, filled all the way to the corners with a scene. A large, manor-like building rose above a garden of thi...

Love Taps
Naruto and Ino had moved halfway down the alley. Hinata saw them stop. And no sooner had they stopped than Ino — moving with just as much grace as she had on the dancefloor — sank onto her knees.
Hinata wondered if this was really going the way that it looked like. She wasn’t left to wonder for long. Ino tore o...

Because I don't know how to do thing by halves, I'm going to try and compensate by posting daily for the next three weeks (or at least to post 21 chapters across those 21 days). I'm 1 for 1 so far ;)

Dear Maman,
This is your dear daughter, Fleur, writing from dank and dreary Britain. How are you? Has Gabrielle started eating asparagus, or is she still being a brat? Does father still insist on sleeping in his favorite pair of socks? I remember how much you hated that habit of his. Almost as much as you hated the idea o...

It wasn’t until Harry reached the base of the stairs leaving the Headmaster’s office that he realized, quite belatedly, he never actually asked what he went in there too.

Okay, I’ll admit it. I was livid.
Ever since I woke up I’d had one thing after another to get worked up about. The world was a wreck. People were stuck living like trash. I was fighting to fix things like that. But it wasn’t until now, standing here, that a new kind of rage nestled into my gut, right behind the belly...
