Harry Potter, Hero of Legends, Stories and Elves Part 8

Sirius glanced between Harry, Luna and Fianna. "Before I conjure a pair of earmuffs and get back to work on the brooms so I can't hear the drunken debauchery, do the boots have any magical properties?"

"Hey," Fianna complained, trying not to laugh as she waved her finger back and forth at Sirius. "I'll have you know there will be no drunken dauchery, just regular dauchery, they're teenagers and alcohol and pregnancy doesn't mix."

"Pregnancy no, impregnation yes!" Sirius countered....

"The only good cult is a dead cult," Path grumbled as they listened to the serpent haired snake demons chant about their snake god, their high pitched voices sounding like nails on a chalkboard.

"There's nothing wrong with worshipping the God of Tits and Beer," Naughty argued as she double checked to make sure they hadn't accidentally disconnected anything when they'd moved the cannons off the wagon so they'd have a better angle.

"That's entirely different," Path argued.

"T...

"Lovegrove Woodworking?" Harry mused as he saw the large wooden sign over the door of the shop that Kara had taken them to.

"It's a family name," Fianna Lovegrove replied as she walked out of the shop. She glanced over the rest of the strangers then focused on Kara. "Luna's in the shop."

Harry studied the lean yet solidly built elven woman wearing a suspiciously clean knee length black skirt and sort of dusty tie-dyed t-shirt that looked a bit out of place but sort of fit with her...

Neville stared at the twenty foot black stone walls that surrounded the town as they walked out of the forest. "How long do you think it would take the demons to break the walls?"

"They'd probably just toss a bunch of demons over the wall so they could open the gates," Xander suggested.

Harry used his appraisal ability on the wall as they walked closer. "It wouldn't work, the top of the wall projects a magical shield that prevents monsters and demons from moving or teleporting thr...

"How many demons can you bind?" Xander asked.

"Seventy two," Harry replied as he used his equipment page to equip his armor, not trusting his power to keep the captain from doing something stupid. "You should probably back up a bit and toss up some shields."

"If it starts casting, banish it," Tonk told him as she silently cast a shield charm.

Harry took ten steps forward as his friends tossed up their own shield charms then summoned the captain, causing a purple skinned demo...

Harry cast his new spell, summoning a floating creepy looking black quill with nasty looking spines that dripped a pitch black ink that evaporated before it hit the ground. "That's creepy."

"Any desire to touch it?" Hermione asked as she studied the quill.

"Not in the slightest," Harry replied as he used his Appraisal ability on it. "Huh, that's interesting and disturbing."

"Care to share with the class?" Hermione asked, wondering what he'd noticed and curious if the elves h...

"That was exhausting," Harry admitted as he flopped down on a fallen tree near the demon captain's tent, feeling like he'd just run a couple of miles while being chased by Dudley's gang on bikes.

"Because of the armor?" Neville asked, figuring the armor had to weigh a ton since it looked like it was carved out of crystal.

Harry opened his inventory and dragged the armor from the equipment doll to his inventory, causing the armor to vanish. "Not really, it only weighs five pounds."...

Harry Potter, Hero of Legend, Stories and Elves

Voldemort was pulled from his thoughts as a blue skinned figure casually strode into the dining area wearing a pair of Hawaiian shorts. He flicked his wand as he chanted "Avada Kedavra."

"Gesundheit," the blue figure replied as he gestured and turned the incoming spell into a dead dove that flopped onto the table. "Let me make you a deal, I am a being of not inconsiderable power and I have need of a human soul."

Voldemort stared at the dead dove that used to be his death curse for...

Wrong Place, Right Time Part 3

"Wingardium Leviosa," Blackberry chanted as she focused on the feather sitting on the table and waved the spare wand that Lily had let her borrow. "So much for learning the local style of magic."

"Sorry," Lily offered. "You're saying the incantation correctly and you're waving the wand better than most wizards, you might be right."

"It was worth a try," Blackberry replied as she glanced at where Albus was hovering a foot off the ground, having cast the Flight spell that he'd learn...

Spark of Magic Worm Part 2

"This is going to be awesome!" Greg Veder practically squealed as he put the bracelet that he'd just finished enchanting on his wrist without checking it for glitches. "Status," he ordered, causing a translucent character page to appear hovering over the bracelet, letting him see his stats or at least a description of his stats like he was a video game character.

His enthusiasm took a hit when he realized that he only had two scores above ten. He ignored his low strength and dexterity a...

Wrong Place, Right Time Part 2

Blackberry stepped out of her black and purple gate into a room with strange furniture and an unfamiliar dark haired young man wearing a fluffy purple bathrobe. "I come in…" she trailed off as a spell struck one of her wings from behind, getting her attention as the sickly green blast of magic washed over her wing and unraveled because of her innate magic resistance.

The young man stared in disbelief at the talking dog sized silver and gold dragon that had just stepped out of some typ...

Spark of Magic Worm

Mist set his mug of hot chocolate on his desk and sat down at his computer, ready to start gaming now that he had something to drink. He opened the character sheet of the twinked out combat monster he'd built to gank one of the PCs, knowing at least one of them would pick a fight rather than trying to talk their way out of the encounter he was planning. He scowled when he got a corrupted file warning. "Don't give me that shit," he complained as he hit the button to try to recover the file. 2025-07-11 23:50:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 14

Hermione sighed when she realized that she'd appeared without her clothes and that Harry was naked and talking to an attractive and half naked woman wearing a black skirt. 'This is going to be distracting, but at least he'll realize I'm a girl,' she mused as she walked over.

Harry turned and stared when he realized that he'd lost track of time and that Hermione had also appeared naked. His gaze dropped down to her crotch despite his best effort, confirming that she shaved. He pulled his...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 13

Selena twitched and almost knocked her laptop off the table when something crashed into the pool, causing a splash that almost hit her feet. "What the fuck?" she sputtered when she realized that there was a body in her pool that was quickly floating to the surface. She glanced up at the wards over the keep that were supposed to prevent anyone from just dropping in or objects from being dropped on her.

Selena frowned when she realized the person had a knife sticking out of its back that ...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 12

Mist looked up from the ring that he was polishing when the bell over the workshop door rang, making him aware that Moiraine was in the process of walking into his workshop with half a dozen female channelers following her. He glanced at the woman who was wearing a crimson silk dress and a red shawl then focused on Verin, Siuan and Cadsuane, wondering why Siuan had left the Tower and why she'd brought a member of the red ajah. "What do you want?"

"Have some respect," the short woman tha...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 11

Moria giggled as she poured saidar into the model of the tower, paying for another twenty children to be born. "We're going to have to send everyone back to school, I'm running out of channelers of decent quality."

"You're just getting picky," Mist replied with amusement, not taking his eyes off the group of cultists that he was scanning while they worked on hooking up their wagon. 'Cult of the noodle god, at least they're not darkfriends.'

"I'm not being picky," Moria argued as s...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 10

Rand glanced between Moiraine, Nynaeve, Perrin, Egwene and Mist as he walked into the backroom of the Winespring inn. "How many people did we lose and did we lose anyone important?"

"Everyone is important to someone," Egwene reminded him, unhappy about their inability to keep everyone from dying.

"I know but we can't keep doing this," Rand admitted reluctantly, knowing the emotional toll trying to cleanse the source without getting killed by an army of corrupted channelers was tak...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 9

Mist had just enough time to realize that the withered strangers that had just stepped out from behind a building were a problem before the entire village green burst into black fire and everyone started screaming and dying. He did his best to ignore the flames that made his skin crawl as he reached into his inventory and grabbed the enchanted pistol he'd 'borrowed' from the company's supply room. He flipped the safety off, lined up the red dot on the leather mask the man on the left was wear...

Wrong Place, Right Time

An: This is a one shot.

"It's like they were drunk," the dragon muttered as she studied the draconic runes carved into the dusty stone wall that looked like they'd been carved by drunk kobolds in a previous age. She twisted her head around so that she was looking at the runes upside down and studied the runes for a minute.

"That's interesting," the dragon mused when she realized that the runes looked completely different if you were looking at them upside down. "Okay, it's eith...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 8

"There is something seriously wrong with this place," Cat a'Meara muttered as she glanced around the crowded school cafeteria trying to find a place to sit, still not used to the 'dress code' despite the fact that she'd already had two weeks to get used to it.

"The fact that everyone is stuck wearing stretchy shorts that don't leave much to the imagination or the fact that half the people are related to us?" Dalresin al'Thor asked his roommate as he enjoyed the view and looked for a spo...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 7

"How are you doing?" Elayne asked as she knocked on Egwene's door.

"I've been worse," Egwene replied as she gestured for Mist to open the door.

Mist pulled his attention off the cute naked redhead that was currently sitting on Egwene's bed trying to figure out how to replicate his extra spatial ring and opened the door. He stepped out of the way so Elayne could come in, a touch surprised that Rand wasn't with her.

Elayne glanced at the bottles scattered around the room as sh...

"What are you looking at?" Cenn Buie demanded as he stalked over to talk to the young man that he didn't recognize who was staring at the roof of the smithy like it had offended him.

"I'm just trying to figure out why someone willingly used thatch on a building," Mist replied as he finished scanning the blacksmith shop, adding the pattern to his collection of blueprints.

"There's nothing wrong with thatch!" Cenn argued.

Mist turned to look at the bald man that was glaring at...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 5

"Do you think we actually have a chance of killing the Dark One without destroying the world or getting everyone killed?" Egwene asked as she watched Natalie al'Vere turn into purple mist and flow into the ring that Mist was holding.

"I don't know," Mist admitted as he sent the ring to Egwene's room, dropping it on the pile of bottles and rings he'd already sent back to Winternight. "If we can get the time loop set up and kill Ishamael, we've got a decent chance to kill him but a lot of...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 4

Damer Flinn froze when he found himself in a stone room with several familiar faces and some strangers that he'd never seen before. "What's going on?"

"Long story short, you're here because we need to fix Siuan and Leane's connection to the source before we send them back to the past to kill the Dark One," Mist explained, wanting that particular annoyance dealt with before he explained the rest of the situation.

Damer stared at Mist for a couple of seconds then glanced between Siu...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 3

Mat pulled his attention away from the collection of bottles that were filled with purple mist and focused on Mist. "Is there a reason you summoned everyone after they were traumatized?"

"Yeah, the last battle is coming and everyone needs to put their big girl breeches on and get with the program," Mist replied as he finished putting the stoppers on the sixty three bottles that contained the channelers he'd rescued from Cat's world. "If they weren't from the Two Rivers, I probably would...

Written in the Cards Part 18

"Sorry," Abby offered as Ralph walked into the pool area with her grandfather.

"Don't worry about it, but like, maybe next time, you can let me explain before you deck me?" Ralph asked hopefully.

"Yeah, that's fair," Abby admitted sheepishly.

"We have cake," Becky offered.

"You're trying to bribe me with cake?" Ralph asked as they walked over.

"Yes, is it working?" Becky asked hopefully.

Ralph glanced at the delicious looking cake on the table then back to...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time Part 2

"If you hurt her, I'm going to find a way to kill you," Rand told the stranger, rather unhappy with the fact that he wanted to spank Egwene's ass and trying to ignore the fact that Aviendha and Elayne wanted to have sex with her, mostly because the lack of clothes made it quite apparent that he was interested in having sex with his ex and his wives at the same time.

"Relax, I'm not a sadist and she doesn't like pain, nothing says I have to spank her ass hard to get the magic to work, I ...

Time Loops, Wheel of Time

An: I had a long week and I was driving myself a bit crazy trying to write the next chapter of Written in the Cards today, so we get something a bit different.


Egwene al'Vere woke up feeling a bit out of sorts, though that could be forgiven since the last thing she remembered was dying thanks to channeling more of the one power than she should have. Of course, it didn't help that she was sprawled on what had to be an expensive bed in a room with black stone walls without a scrap o...

Written in the Cards Part 17

"What happens if they ask a question I don't understand?" Vivian asked as she glanced around the strange room on the other side of the mirror, not sure what to make of the box with glowing numbers on the front of it or the thin black box hanging on the wall made out of an unfamiliar material.

"Just shrug and say, "I don't know," Mist suggested, making a mental note to get Tiffany to explain how everything worked when she had a chance.

"Don't worry, I've got your back," Sarah assur...

Written in the Cards part 16

Evan groaned as he woke up with the type of hangover he hadn't had since high school when one of his 'friends' had slipped him a couple of screwdrivers made with orange juice and a 'generous' amount of Everclear. He did his best to ignore the headache as he tried to take stock of where he was, a bit surprised that he was on a bed and that his knees didn't hurt. It took him a minute to realize that he actually felt pretty good, if you ignored the headache from Hell and the stench. "Did I fall ...
