"We're having a welcome back dinner tomorrow," Buffy said.

"And you have no idea how to face them, what to say, or how to act," Harry added.

She stared at him for a moment.

"I've been there a time or two," Harry shrugged.

"Do you want to go in my place?" Buffy offered.

"No," Harry laughed. "I've done that more than enough times." He paused. "I'll probably have to do another when I go back."

"You're going back?" Buffy asked.

"Eventually," Harry said. "...

Scenes From the Veil

NOTE
Just a couple of ideas that I thought were fun to share.

1.

Harry's world slowed as the spell hit Sirius. He watched as his godfather, his chance at a somewhat normal life, and his rescue from the Dursleys stumbled toward that strange archway. Harry had no real clue what the veil was, but it was in the Death Room, so it couldn't be good.

Everyone in the room paused as a hand shot out of the Veil to steady Sirius. The wizard got both feet on the ground as, what could...

Harry woke up early the next morning. It was more out of habit than anything. Still, he decided to take advantage of it. He changed into some comfortable clothes and went for a jog around the block a few times. Once that was complete, he stretched his warmed muscles then moved on to the actual exercise. He didn't have the facilities like he did back at Grimmauld, but he made do sticking to basic calisthenics. A healthy body did wonders for witches and wizards. Most didn't bother with it, lett...

Somewhere Safe

I was reading through the story to refresh my brain. It made me realize it was a bit... rough. Why not a poll?

Option 1 - Start a 2nd draft, smooth the rough edges

Option 2 - Wrap up the story for now & call it good

Harry finished the letters to Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, and a few others once Joyce left. It wasn't until he was done that he realized he had no idea how to send them. He had sent Kreacher to serve Narcissa, being around the elf that helped kill Sirius wasn't good for mental health. Plus, he didn't know if a House Elf could answer his call at this distance. He couldn't bring himself to get a new owl. What he needed somewhere he could connect to the greater magical community without breaki...

Xander knocked on the door. An older, handsome man opened it and stepped aside. Greeted him as they entered. Harry was the only one still outside. The man, Giles, turned his attention to him.

"May I come in?" Harry asked.

The four of them went tense at his words.

"Oh," Harry chuckled. "Vampires, right."

Harry entered staying on the little patch of tile...

The missive on the table in front of him was yet another in a string that hadn't stopped since May. Three months of seemingly constant emergencies shattered his hope for a peaceful summer, or life for that matter. Another rising dark lord or lady had popped up. The Minister called for his service. There was always something that needed to be fixed, something that only he could do, or at least that was what the Mi...

Star Forge - 23

Bo, Beth, and I waited at the loading ramp as Adyan started her approach. Rough was an understatement. If it weren't for the lack of alarms I would have thought we were crashing. Everyone aside from Adyan had moved to the Warehouse. Just to be safe.

We had gone through a couple of ideas. Bo and I had jetpacks, but not an extra one for Beth. Plus, we weren't sure if the palace had some sort of anti-air for smaller targets. I wasn't going force myself to take a walk or fly in the middle o...

An Errant Beast

1.

Beast, he never thought of himself as Adam anymore, heard the door to the castle open. The scent of a stranger played along the breeze it caused. It was storming outside as it wanted to do. Year after year of snow with now spring in sight. He realized it wasn't solely him who had been caught in the curse once he had calmed down enough from his transformation. The stranger, an older man by the sound of his voice, was lost. Scent told him was covered in dried sweat that stunk of fear.<...

The Things You See In a Graveyard - 4

Creating the armor did not take nearly as long as he had expected. The material accepted the enchantments without an issue. It helped that the idea of magical armor was rather common. Tom found multiple books on the subject. The enchantments were old. Applying his new lessons made it simple to improve on many of the rune arrays. He made sure to use the skills of his Pureblood minions as well. It was tempting to use them as walking wallets, but his combined memories told him that it wasn't a g...

The commandos taking care of the Hutt gave me a sudden surplus of free time. I was completely out of my element. It seemed like I had been going from one thing to another since I got here. I had figured out that the doorway from my quarters on the ship connected to the Warehouse stayed that way unless I dismissed it. My crew and the commandos could freely travel between locations. I had no idea how they were going to launch their ship from the Warehouse, but I figured they had it covered. If ...

"Communication from Empress Leeya," Adyan announced.

Kiskin had his armor on once more. He stepped up and activated the Holo. A woman dressed in a stylish, but functional outfit as well as an ivory mask that covered her face completely. She was flanked by a few guards as well.

"You have my attention," the Empress said. "What do you want?"

"Arok," I stated, not bothering with preamble. "He's your guest, he's my target. I don't want to make an enemy if it can be avoided."

Silver, Lead, & Mad Science

Summary:
Uploading a consciousness into digital environment is not a new prospect. A duplicate of a person is constructed for them to live on after death. The process is expensive and not an option for anyone not rather well off.

It certainly wasn't an option for me.

When the people from Bonafide Ideas approached me was my lucky day. They would pay for the transfer and cover my leftover medical bills. All I had to do was sign a ten-year contract to work as a digital avatar in o...

The Things You See in a Graveyard - 3

The second time waking up as Tom Riddle was just as disorienting. His life was strange enough for him to accept that he had not only traveled through time but also ended up in the body of a yet-to-be Dark Lord. Still, Slytherin dorms were not common up until now. The foundation of Riddle's memories helped ease the confusion.

He went through his morning routine on auto-pilot. It was amazing to see his hair actually do as instructed. He may have spent a few minutes more than he'd like to ...

Time Keeps On Slipping - 25

Harry's mouth was dry, he couldn't remember the last time he had eaten, and every muscle in his body was sore. On the other hand, Gabrielle was practically glowing, which wasn't unheard of for a happy Veela. He had thought with his recent sexual activity he would have been more capable. Keeping up with Gabby wasn't an issue for the first few hours. It was after those that he began to see how outclassed he was in this situation.

He limped to the front door when he remembered that Gabby w...

I waited as the Commandos thawed out. Thankfully, it was an automated process so there wasn't a chance I would mess it up. The consoles all looked very advanced. A little voice in my head was certain that pressing the wrong button could turn them all into pools of goo.

There was a nearby area that was one-part medical office, and one-part locker room. They would go through an exam to test their mental and physical acuity, then move on to get geared up. Armor and weapons were stored in a...

Harry/Tom got to his feet. He absorbed the remnants of Tom Riddle's soul, gaining all of the knowledge and memories of the young man. Truly, this wizard was a genius. Charms, Transfigurations, Runes, Alchemy, Potions, Arithmancy, and even Herbology just clicked for him. Combining all of that meant that he was rather adept at creating new spells, altering existing ones, and had the skillset to be an Enchanter. Not only that, he was incredibly powerful. It made him realize just how out-classed ...

Filler Episode - How to Make a Demon Lord

The air around him crackled with energy. Bright yellow streaks shrank down, forming a cocoon of light. Mason watched as the world beyond washed away. A moment later it was replace with an immaculate room. The floors and walls were made of white marble. Golden threads twisted and twirled in a pattern that stretched the entirety of the room. As the light faded, he realized that he was not alone. There were at least another twenty people standing around, all with a look of confusion and awe. Pro...

Lucas rocked back and forth as he waited for the crosswalk signal to change. The canvas bag bumped against his thigh. Inside he had the special edition of Hero of Legend. It was the latest release in the game series, the first of the current generation of game systems, and the reason he had requested the next week off. The special edition came with a complete world atlas an...

"I'll go put on some pants," Beth said seemingly unbothered by the events.

"Who is she?" Bo asked.

"That's Beth," I replied. "She just got here."

"What?" Tali stared from Bo to me then to where Beth had gone. "What is going on here?"

"No clue," I shrugged. "It's just something I can do." I waved a hand around us. "This place is attached to whatever do I use my key on. Only people I invite can come in, so it's safe. Any questions?"

Shmi was truly a blessing. She managed to transform both cargo areas into relatively comfortable rooms. Simply keeping Anakin around her would have made the entire timeline completely different. She was patient, had a nearly endless catalogue of skills, and never seemed to lose hope. Anakin would have grown to be an amazing young man under her guidance.

Tali quickly made hers homely, but I kept mine sparse since I just needed bed. Of course, Anakin helped her decorate with various tools...

Wild Magic - Chapter 38

Harry woke to a solid impact on his stomach. A mad cackle followed as he truly woke up.

"Eddie," Harry chided. "What have we said about jumping on people?"

"Daddy," Eddie pouted. "I'm a big boy, don't call me Eddie."

The little boy would be five years old in a couple of months. He was skinny in a way that came from the unlimited childhood energy that seemed to be a Potter family trait.

"Sorry, Edgar," Harry corrected himself. "Now what do you need to do?"

Harry found the exit easily enough. He grabbed the only other wand from the clump of dead bodies. There wasn't much of a selection, it should work enough to call the Knight Bus. The one he found wouldn't hold up to dueling, or even normal wand-work, but it could potentially last long enough to cast a single Lumos.

The area outside of the mansion was a nice little estate. It wasn't an estate, more of a large house in a nice part of a town. That meant there was a street nearby. T...

For the first time in years Simon was excited to go to work. The mixture of dread and anticipation that brewed in his chest as he rode the train couldn't stop the giddiness. A broad smile crossed his face when he saw that the door was still there. He did his job as usual for the first couple of hours, filling out help tickets and doing random tech support. Simon set up an automated process to run network integrity. The task would take three days if done manually so it bought him some time. He...

Harry wasn't sure what had happened. One moment he was fighting Death Eaters and the next he was unconscious. He thought for a moment. It said something about his life that situations like these were becoming common. Around six months ago he had been tied to a gravestone alone. Slowly, the memories of Voldemort showing up started to form. It hadn't gone as bad as he had expected, but it didn't go well for him. He had always known that Voldemort was powerful. That was a fact that he didn't dou...

Harry leaned back in the seat. The Ministry had sent a car since the floo wasn't an option. It was mundane to avoid the possibility of him accidentally stripping any enchantments. Unfortunately, it meant that the trip took a lot longer than usual. They had sent a carriage for Harry to get to Hogsmeade, then a Jeep that looked like it was made somewhere around World War Two, and finally a town car once they reached an actual road.

He didn't realize how much pressure he had been under unt...
