Harry Potter and the Magical Girls part 2

Harry wasn't sure how to feel about the fact that a dismembered corpse was easier to vanish than a fully intact dead body but it made sense that it was easier to visualize the body parts vanishing. 'It's probably just as well Death Eaters aren't people.' He pointed his wand at the man's severed head and focused on it vanishing. "Evanesco."

"Scourgify," he whispered as he waved his wand at the last of the blood splattered on the floor and pushed with his magic, causing the blood, dust an...

Harry Potter and the Magical Girls Part 1

'Romance, political satire, thinly veiled porn,' Harry Potter mused as he glanced over the used books in the second hand store for something interesting, mostly because he was bored and Dudley was running around with his friends and in a vicious mood which meant he wanted to avoid his usual haunts. He was just about to head to another section of the shop when a leather bound tome lurched forward an inch.

'Yeah, that's not suspicious,' he thought sarcastically as he grabbed the book and ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 49

Fiona felt her disbelief grow as her uncle or at least the person that looked like a younger version of her uncle finished explaining that they'd basically been ripped out of their timeline and stranded in a version of the past. "Let me get this straight, you're saying that our parents are barely older than us and we're stuck in the nineties?"

"No clue who your parents are but yeah, you're stuck in the nineties," Puck replied with a shrug.

Fiona glanced between Ginny and Puck then...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 48

"I'm fairly sure this is cheating," Rose muttered as she watched Xander punch through the door of the Gaunt family shack and take several dark curses that did absolutely nothing to him other than make him grin.

"If you're not cheating, you're not trying," Dawn said cheerfully as she watched the cursed spells try to kill Xander. "You realize this is probably going to kill Snape, right?"

Rose shrugged. "If he wanted to avoid death he should have tried harder to be a decent human bei...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 47

'Suits!' Dawn squealed mentally when she opened the large cabinet near the airlock and found five space suits. 'It's like they don't even care about recycling or maybe the suits are cheap enough that no one cares?' she mused as she scanned the suits. 'Okay, that explains why they didn't care, very little radiation shielding and you're basically screwed if something hits you.'

Dawn tapped into her new powers and deconstructed the suits, smiling as the suits broke into motes of light and ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 46

"This would be easier if the board would let me hire Americans," Albus muttered under his breath as he pulled a chair away from the sarcophagus mounted to the wall.

"Perish the thought that we get someone bloodthirsty enough to do the job," Severus replied dryly as he moved a box of trinkets so Albus could pull the lever on the Defense Teacher Summoning device. "If you want, I could take over and you could find a replacement potions instructor," he offered, knowing Albus wouldn't take h...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 45

Puck listened with half an ear to the Minister's blathering about duels, old laws and respect for authority and other such things that didn't honestly matter all that much as far as he was concerned while he glanced over the students gathered in the great hall to watch the duel. He was fairly sure they would have held the duel somewhere less public if they'd had an inkling of the type of magic he had access to.

It boiled down to power and what they thought they could get away with, they...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 44

Tara Potter nearly dropped the vial filled with syrup of hellebore she was holding over her cauldron when she had yet another bundle of 'memories' burst into her awareness.

"Are you okay?" Rose Potter asked in a whisper as she reached over and steadied her sister's shaking hand, not wanting to give Snape an excuse to take points as he seemed in a particularly foul mood.

"Do we need to take her to the nurse?" Neville asked nervously, glancing at where Snape was watching Draco's cau...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 43

"Shit!" Giles cursed when she went from being a 'generic' Enchanter and Magitech specialist with a vague history that had just successfully slashed the king's throat to Rupert Giles, trained Watcher and survivor of the hellmouth. He stared blankly at the dead man, trying to figure out why the king looked like a slightly older version of his Sunnydale appearance and doing his best not to think about 'his' lack of solid memories before two weeks ago or that he was currently in the form of an at...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 42

Harry pulled his attention away from the interesting magical printer that Dawn had found in her trunk when he heard the door open. "Mione, you should see Dawn's printer."

Hermione froze when she stepped into the Blacklight Cafe and the scent of garlic roasted beef caressed her nose. "That smells delicious."

"I should hope so, Dawn gave me enough beef to last a couple of months," Harry replied, flashing Hermione a smile. "How's your project going?"

Dawn felt her pulse rate ju...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 41

Faith smiled at the attractive woman making her way towards the 'sealed' tomb with five brutish looking guards. "Lysa? Fred wondered if you'd show up once we unsealed the tomb."

Lysa paused as she studied the dark haired woman leaning up against the rough stone wall next to the entrance, trying to figure out how some random person knew her name or that she was in any way connected to the tomb. "Fred?" she asked, trying to get more information out of the young woman that knew her name an...

Bad Genie, no Cookie

An: Two things, the first being that this is a free Christmas One Shot because it's the holidays and having something to read is good and because you're awesome.  The next is a general disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters or the unnamed character that might be recognized.  Either way, this was an amusing one shot idea.  If my SI seems a bit too lucky, he has a luck boosting perk/trait that nudges things.

Myst blinked as he found himself in...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 40

Dawn waited until the ring's opening was covering in a glowing blue field then stepped through into a large old fashioned living room. She had just enough time to take in the scene, one cultist using a reddish beam of energy on an older looking Deckard while another held a dark skinned man in place with another beam of energy, before the young woman being harassed by three cultists exploded with power, killing all of the cultists in the room other than the woman dressed like an over the top D...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 39

Dennis pulled his attention from the naked young ladies that were sparing in the ring some of the girls had drawn on the beach as Amy walked over, looking uncharacteristically happy. "Having fun?"

"More than Vicky and Dean," Amy replied, a touch of smugness creeping into her voice despite her best efforts.

"Trouble in paradise?" Dennis asked, enjoying the show and a chance to unwind even if he was a bit worried about his parents and how they were going to get home.

"She was ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 38

AN: So... yeah, it's not dead, it was merely resting, for a dragon's nap.

Is the previous chapter... They'd just gotten done with Worm and ended up in Diablo.

Oz stared in disbelief as Dawn danced through the group of skeletons charging towards them, her sword moving in a blur as she cut down each of...

Projections in Worm Part 7

Danny pulled his attention away from the door Taylor had just walked through the kitchen door to put the dishes in the sink and focused on her lifelike projection. "You're going to keep her safe, right?"

"I'll do my best. Between her regeneration and the fact that she should be at least four blocks away from danger, she should be safe enough but I'm planning on making sure she's as safe as I can without locking her in a tower," Myst assured Danny.

"As much as I'd love to, I doubt ...

Projections in Worm Part 6

Myst opened the door to the garage and studied the blond haired young man that looked like he could have been a model. "Oliver?"

"What gave it away?" Oliver asked, studying the girl's face.

"No mask and you're not worried about me seeing your face, probably because you'll have a different one tomorrow." Myst glanced at the U-haul that was most likely where Noelle was hiding then over at the car in the driveway that had two young women in the front seats while a guy with a mask was...

Projections in Worm Part 5

Assault grinned as the clip of the new cape dropping off a hogtied Skidmark and Mush at the PRT finished playing on the monitor. "Nice touch with the ribbons and making it look like Shadow Stalker took them out while 'out' of costume."

Battery shook her head. "It's not like Shadow Stalker's the only cape that wears a hockey mask."

Armsmaster scowled as he thought about the amount of paperwork the new cape had caused him by pointing the cops at Hess in such a public manner. "We can...

Projections in Worm Part 4

Victoria couldn't help the smile lighting up her face as she waved her hand back and forth through the brick wall. "Amy is going to freak when I tell her about my new powers and the off switch for my aura. I know I already said it but thanks again."

"You're welcome, it's nice to be able to turn powers off when you're not using them." Myst could understand why some of the shards didn't bother with off switches from a conflict standpoint but it seemed like a waste of energy. "Is there a r...

Projections in Worm Part 3

Taylor wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry as she looked at her projection, her black work boots and blue overalls weren't horrible though they clashed with her sheer silk shirt and the combination made her pigtails look weird though that might have something to do with the fact that they were tied up with pink shoelaces. "You're trying for a naughty construction worker look, aren't you?"

Myst grinned as he bounced on the balls of his feet, causing 'his' breasts to bounce, fairly sur...

Projections in Worm Part 2

"If you need anything, push the button," the nurse suggested.

"Thanks," Taylor replied as she walked into the bathroom. She shut the door then glanced at the nice neat pile of clothes on the counter next to her shampoo. [Do you want me to drop you in the room or outside?]

[I've already talked to the cops and I'd rather not deal with whichever hero the Protectorate decides to send so you might as well just see if you can send me into your clothes], Myst suggested, figuring that wou...

Projections in Worm

An: Short diversion because of the holidays. 

Myst was less than amused to find 'himself' in the body of a naked busty red haired girl standing in the middle of a hallway with a horrible rancid stench coming from the locker in front of her. She glanced at the scattered people that were watching her, she could understand the guys staring but they should be able to hear the girl screaming and they were just ignoring her which wasn't making things easier. Part of her frustr...

Reluctant Heroes Part 7

Dave sighed as he spotted a man 'hiding' behind a tree in the forest watching the group from about a hundred feet up the road. "There's someone hiding in the trees, one hundred feet out."

Myst pulled his attention away from the pair of temporary slippers he was working on to increase his Leatherworking and looked at the trees where Dave was looking. It wasn't particularly hard to spot the guy now that he was looking but he doubted he would have noticed if Dave hadn't said anything, even...

Reluctant Heroes Part 6

One of the cheerleaders yawned. "I spy with my little eye, something brown."

"Is it a rock?" Rigby asked as he glanced over the flat and quite boring ground the group had been traveling through for the last couple of hours.

"Nope!" she replied with amusement, mixed with a healthy dose of boredom.

"Dirt?" one of the other cheerleaders asked sarcastically, wishing they had a mattress or something that would let them sleep in the back of the wagon or at least sprawl out or even...

Reluctant Heroes Part 5

Bethany smiled when Myst walked over to the table where the group was eating an early breakfast looking like he could use a few more hours of sleep. "How much sleep did you get?"

Myst smiled at the old lady then took a seat next to Ella. "A couple of hours, it always takes me a bit to get used to new places."

"Did you get anything useful at the skill shop?" Rigby asked excitedly.

Rigby's sister sighed. "At least let him get his breakfast, you can ask a bunch of questions onc...

Sorry, not a chapter, just a (non updating) skill page as I don't want to waste a few thousand words moving things around 'on screen'.  It's one thing when it's scattered around but it's another when you're basically going through and tweaking lots of skills... but there are a lot of skills and it's weird not to show them, so here.
