Mist of Shadows

Myst at Hogwarts Part 10

Hermione watched the last grains of sand drop to the bottom of the hourglass sitting on the table. “That should do it.”

“Hopefully,” Tracey muttered as she glanced at the five shallow bowls that had just enough crismon goop in each bowl to cover the rings they’d dropped in each bowl.

Myst used the tongs in his left hand to carefully fish a ring out of the closest bowl of goop then set it on the wooden tray on the lab table. He pointed his wand at the goo...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 16

Thom blinked as he stepped through the door to Dawn’s island and saw at least thirty naked women with ageless faces kneeling on the ground with strange seamless silver collars around their necks and some very unhappy naked women in their early twenties glaring at them with maybe a dozen women in strange color changing dresses also standing guard. “You don’t see that every day.”

“Sadly,” Mat muttered as he realized that the thirty prisoners were Aes Sedai or ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 15

William resisted the urge to snort as the guards quickly glanced around the king’s chambers, barely even bothering to put any effort into their quick check. He was fairly sure he could have found half a dozen places to hide even without his fancloth cloak and disguise weave that made him completely invisible in the king’s shadowy chambers..

“All clear,” one of the guards announced then stepped back out of the room so a delicate looking man with receding, dark wa...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 14

“What’s the island like?” Gawyn asked, trying to distract his sister from the half burned buildings and piles of trollocs that the guards were helping some of Dawn’s people toss on the bonfires. It was one thing to know that trollocs existed, he’d studied the trolloc wars too extensively to believe anything else but it was quite another to see hundreds of dead trollocs being burned. 

Dawn pulled her attention off the fire and focused on the prince. “It’s always warm a...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 9

“How did you sleep last night?” Nana asked as Myst walked into the living room from the shower room.

“Like a rock,” Myst replied, happy that the tent was soundproof so he didn’t have to listen to the snoring.

“Monster hunting is tiring work then?” she asked as she floated a mug of hot chocolate over to Myst.

Myst sighed slightly as he noticed her slightly smug look. “What gave me away?”

“I’m your house elf,” she replied. “Is there anything you...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 13

Gareth Bryne winced slightly as Dawn started mixing in kicks, grabs and even leg sweeps as she took the guards apart despite the fact that it was six on one. “Work together!” he ordered, knowing that it wasn’t going to help considering she’d handed him his ass during their duel and he could still beat six of the royal guard at once on a good day. 

Dawn laughed as she grabbed one of the guards by the arm and pulled him into a knee to the stomach then pushed him into one of t...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 12

Queen Morgase did her best to avoid looking at the stranger’s clothes that twisted the light like a warder’s cloak and studied her face. “What makes you think that I’m going to turn on my advisor?”

Ethan kept her gaze focused on the queen sitting on her throne, doing his best to ignore the guards and his uncles who were giving him suspicious looks when they weren’t sneaking glances at the bound and shielded Aes Sedai he’d stuck in the corner of the room facing the wall lik...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 11

Dawn frowned slightly as the guys hauled the last of the boxes filled with odds and ends through Willow’s gateway. “This still feels like stealing.”

Willow shook her head. “More like borrowing, you can always give it back after you figure out how to duplicate it.”

“I’m guessing the other version of me forgot to teach you morals?” Dawn asked with a touch of exasperation as she walked through Willow’s gateway and looked around the burned out town.

“I have m...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 8

Snape glared at Harry as he walked into the headmaster’s office with McGonagall following him.

“Thank you for coming,” Dumbledore said. “I’d like to get this misunderstanding taken care of.”

“Of course, do you perhaps have a pensieve available so that I can show you what happened?” Myst asked, trying to sound hopeful.

Dumbledore looked over the top of his glasses at Harry. “I do in fact have a pensieve. Have you ever used one before?”

Myst at Hogwarts Part 7

Snape sneered at Harry. “Mr. Potter, our new celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?”

Hermione looked shocked at the blatant disrespect the professor was showing. Even the worst teacher she’d had in school had at least tried to appear professional in class.

‘So much for avoiding him being an ass by paying attention to his lecture,’ Myst thought to himself as he answered Snape’s question as politely as he cou...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 10

“How sure are you that this is going to work?” Zarosa al'Caar asked a touch nervously as she stared at the giant ter’angreal ring.

William spared a glance toward Zarosa’s smirking older sister then set his hand on the fourteen year old’s shoulder in a half hearted attempt to calm her down. “Don’t worry about it, I’m sure that only half of the Aes Sedai are nearly as wild and twisted as your sister claims.”

“That doesn’t make me feel better,” Zarosa complain...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 6

Tonks waited until they were around the corner from McGonagall’s office before she asked, “How are you doing?”

“Eh, I just keep expecting the other shoe to drop,” Myst admitted.

“Why’s that?”

“Because none of the complaints I filed against the Dursleys ever went anywhere, why should this be any different? I keep expecting Mr. Moody to hand Pettigrew over to the ministry and for them to screw things up.”

“No faith in the auror department?”

...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 9

Dawn smirked as she set the silver ring with a fox design on the salvaged table with the other five successful rings she’d created. “I’m awesome.”

“Let’s just ignore the seventeen failed rings,” Ethan said with amusement as he looked at the pile of rejects that were less than perfect. He was decently impressed that she’d managed to change the form and still get five rings that worked just as well as Mat’s original medallion, something that had taken his mother months o...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 5

Myst wasn’t nearly as impressed by the boat ride as some of his fellow first years but the fact that the boats were charmed to travel across the water under their own power was interesting and made him curious if they could be checked out during the year. He pulled his attention off the rather impressive castle and glanced at the fourth person in the boat that had jumped into their boat when Hagrid had announced that they shouldn’t have more than four people in a boat.

He didn’t r...

Dawn and Reincarnation part 8

Dawn shivered slightly as she looked over the glowing crowd of channelers Willow and William had collected in the area outside Mat’s house. She knew the Tower would be screaming for her blood if she took even one of the thirty eight young men with her let alone all thirty eight of the brightly glowing young men in the courtyard. She was equally certain that the forty seven girls standing at attention in mismatched dresses would cause the Tower to drool as every single one of them glowed as ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 7

Dawn couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed in the Taren Ferry folk as she watched the townsfolk turned refugees leave the town via the air bridge she’d created over the river. On the one hand she could sympathize with the people that had taken the coin she’d offered for their land and burned out buildings but on the other, if Emond’s field had been torched they would be clearing the buildings and trying to figure out what they could save the next day.

Of course with nearly t...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 6

Dawn was rather happy when they managed to go the entire day without hearing any trolloc horns or seeing any sign of the creatures, of course that introduced the worry about where they’d went but there wasn’t all that much they could do about an army of shadowspawn right now unless she wanted to try hit and run tactics. She absently warmed her hands over the small fire as she watched Moiraine show Egwene and Nynaeve several new weaves. “Thom, do you know anything about the Ways?”

Dawn and Reincarnation part 5

Dawn focused on the image in the mirror and jumped, slipping between the farm and the Tower’s storeroom as easily as someone else might open a door. She glanced around the small room dusty room, a touch surprised that she hadn’t triggered some ancient ward slipping into the Tower. ‘Ah well, your loss is my gain.’ 

She turned her attention toward the ornate wooden box sitting on the carved wooden table that would likely feed a family for a year if sold. She studied the glowi...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 4

Dawn rolled her eyes as Nynaeve glared at her. “Don’t give me that look, I had permission.”

“You left without telling anyone,” Nynaeve snapped then looked at Egwene who was trying not to be noticed in the corner of the reading room she’d cornered everyone in. “You certainly didn’t have permission to go.”

“I needed training,” Egwene argued, knowing Nynaeve was right about sneaking out but not willing to admit it.

Dawn cut in before Nynaeve could open her...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 4

Myst plastered a fake scowl on his face as he carefully edged around the perfume aisle and made his way over to the cosmetics department.

“Are you lost?” the twenty something clerk asked as Myst walked over to her.

“I wish,” Myst muttered darkly trying to make it sound like he was more annoyed than he actually felt. “I have to go to a stupid wedding and my ‘aunt’ doesn’t want the pictures ruined by my scar.” He gestured at his lightning bolt scar...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 3

“Looks like they’re still getting their wands,” Hermione said as she walked back over to where Harry was waiting for her to look in the window of Ollivander’s shop. “I have twenty minutes before I need to be back here and I’ve picked up all of my supplies, any ideas?”

“Ice cream?” Harry asked hopefully, wanting to talk about magic a bit more.

“Not sure I have any money left,” she admitted.

“My treat,” Harry offered.

“Are you sure?” Hermion...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 2

Myst scowled as he walked into the owl post office and was hit by the rancid stench of shit and far too many birds in an enclosed space. He quickly plugged his nose and walked over to the counter. “How much to send this to Hogwarts?”

“I can’t understand what you’re saying, you’ll have to take your fingers off your nose,” the clerk lied, not even bothering to hide his smirk.

Myst glared at the man behind the counter then turned and walked over to one of the older witc...

Myst at Hogwarts (Ver 2.0)

AN: My Editor thought I was skipping too many details and rushing certain scenes so certain bits got changed and almost three thousand words added... so yeah, the new and improved chapter is being reposted for free... so yeah, have a free chapter. 

Myst twitched and fell over as he was hit by a decade of memories not his own. Hundreds of scenes of dealing with the Dursleys flowed through his head as he tried to figure out what the hell had happened or why he...

Myst at Hogwarts

Myst twitched and fell over as he was hit by a decade of memories not his own. Hundreds of scenes of dealing with the Dursleys flowed through his head as he tried to figure out what the hell had happened or why he had all of Harry’s less than fun memories of being Harry Potter. He scowled as he looked down at his hands and realized they’d shrunk to the size of a child’s hands. “Bloody hell…” he trailed off as he realized he sounded like a kid.

“I’m going to kill someone,...

Hermione and the Watch Part 30/Final

Harry glared at the two dozen frozen aurors in the middle of ‘processing’ the Malfoy’s dining room. “How long do you think they took to get here?”

“Less than ten minutes,” Hermione replied absently as she carefully pulled the disillusioned video camera off the wall.

“Any idea how we’re supposed to convert the image from a tape to a wizarding photograph other than just putting it on a screen and taking a picture?” Harry asked as he studied Fudge’s red face. 2019-03-02 20:47:45 +0000 UTC View Post

Hermione and the Watch Part 29

Voldemort glared up at Harry. “My followers will restore me to my proper form then I will kill you!”

Harry pulled his attention of the shelves of the Malfoy’s library and looked down at the severed head he’d mounted on a wooden tray he’d found in the kitchen. “I knew you were insane but that’s a new level of insanity.”

“What do you mean!” Voldemort demanded.

“You died trying to murder a child, you have to admit that’s rather pathetic. If I was a dark ...

Hermione and the Watch Part 28

Harry glared at the severed head that was translating for the other severed head Hermione was holding. “So you’re telling me that we need to walk five feet to the left then push on the knob that will appear on the stone wall so that a path will open?”

“Fairly sure that’s what he’s saying,” the tour guide’s severed head said with a touch of annoyance. “He’s still a bit hysterical about being a severed head and keeps spouting something about national loyalty.”

...

Hermione and the Watch Part 27

Harry opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Hermione. “Morning.”

Hermione looked up from her book on wards with a smile. “Welcome back to the land of the living, I’d say I had coffee but I’d be lying.”

Harry yawned as he sat up, glancing at the curtains of his bed and wondering if Hermione had hit them with a muffling charm. “What time is it?” he asked in a whisper.

“A bit after nine or a bit after two, take your pick,” Hermione answered as she put her b...

Hermione and the Watch Part 26

Harry wrinkled is nose as he glanced around the dimly lit and horrible smelling cave that Hermione had teleported them to. “Good call on the rubber boots, conjured overalls and bubble head charms.”

Hermione looked at the shit covered floor of the depressing dragon’s den, happy that she’d remembered the bubble head charms before she’d teleported. “It’s a bit disappointing, really.”

“Let me guess, you were expecting gold and jewels or maybe a couple first edition b...

Taylor closed her eyes rather than stare at the ceiling over her bunk bed. She was still a bit surprised that Beth gave her permission to have fun and control her in her sleep. The fact that her sister trusted her that much was rather disturbing. She reached out and carefully took control of...
