Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 15

"You look so handsome," Lily offered as she finished adjusting Harold's bowtie.

"Thanks Mum," Harold replied with a grin, looking forward to having fun at the dance.

"They're certainly roguishly handsome," James agreed, well aware that his sons took after him in looks, especially since he'd also gone with dress robes tossed over slacks and a white dress shirt.

"Thanks…" Mist trailed off as the girls walked out of the adjoining room with Vanessa, looking like they'd ...

"This would be a lot easier with a wand," Marlene complained as she made sure the towel she'd 'borrowed' from the quidditch locker rooms was going to stay put, getting annoyed because it kept coming undone.

"I'd settle for shoes or sandals," James complained as they made their way toward the entrance hall.

"We should have just appeared in Hogsmeade," Edgar complained.

"Severus wasn't sure how far the doppelganger effect extended and the stadium is already pushing thin...

"There's something seriously wrong with your head," Draco complained as he put the cursed belt around his waist, changing into a blonde girl.

"Probably. You make a hot girl," Mist replied as he gestured at the full-length mirror next to Draco.

"That's fucking disturbing, Potter…" Draco trailed off as 'he' turned and looked at his reflection, seeing an attractive girl looking back at him.

"I'm aware," Mist replied as he reached out and poked Draco's arm, picking up a...

A Little Eldritch Worm

Taylor Hebert blinked as she went from being stuffed into a locker filled with filth that was best left ignored to floating void. "What the hell?"

"Welcome to Hell World, where the system is going to roll you," a masculine sounding voice stated, sounding rather smug.

"Error: Unable to move subject to Hell World," a female voice stated, her voice echoing in the void.

"What? Why the hell not?!" the male voice demanded, sounding a lot less smug all of a sudden.

"Subject i...

"We might need a soundtrack," Mist mused as he watched Dawn hack apart a group of goblins with her lightsaber as she made her way toward the hobgoblin standing in front of a fancy looking treasure chest made out of a silver metal.

"Or a shrink," Hermione muttered as she watched Anakin use the Jump boots that he'd purchased from Dawn to leap over the mob of goblins that were trying to kill them and land in front of the hobgoblin.

"Probably," Mist admitted as Anakin started ...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 11

"Since when could Mist use a lightsaber?" Hermione asked Harry as they watched him and Anakin spar, surprised that Mist was able to keep up with Anakin.

"No clue," Harry admitted, looking forward to getting a chance to play with the training sabers that Dawn had sold them for a handful of gallons.

"He used a magic crystal and claimed the power of the ancients," Luna told them with a smile as she watched the blue and purple beams of light clash.

"Magic crystals?" Ginny...

Population Boom, Hogwarts part 10

Sirius jumped and grabbed his wand when Mundungus appeared out of thin air with the hilt of a knife sticking out of his shoulder. "Are you okay?" he asked, wondering why someone had pinned a letter to his shoulder with a knife.

"No!" Dung complained as he flopped into one of the chairs in the lounge, not caring that he was getting blood on the furniture on account of the knife sticking out of his shoulder that hurt like hell and refused to come out. "The bitch cursed the knife!"<...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 9

"Where the hell is Severus when I actually need him?" Peter grumbled as he glared at the potion that he was supposed to be making for Voldemort, wondering how the hell things had gotten to the point where he was the one brewing potions.

"Caw," a brightly colored blue and red bird announced from the windowsill, causing Peter to jump and reach for his wand.

Peter stared at the package the bird was carrying in surprise, wondering how it had found him because the wards should h...

Population Boom, Hogwarts part 8

"Mine!" Bellatrix snapped as she reached through the bars and grabbed the leatherbound book that had dropped out of thin air in the middle of the hallway before one of the other inmates reached for it.

"Fine," Antov replied, deciding that it wasn't worth pissing the crazy bitch off.

Bellatrix tilted the book vertical and pulled it between the bars of her cell then looked at the title carved into the cover. 'Ancient Summoning rituals? Property of Miskatonic University? Your ...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 7

Allen pulled his attention off the young woman's breasts that were practically falling out of her t-shirt as she leaned over the counter. "How can I help you?"

"Jameson sent me down here to grab the Dursley will, can you help me out?" Twist asked hopefully.

"Do you have the paperwork?" Allen asked the intern, knowing she didn't since she was dressed in a t-shirt and shorts. 'Is she even legal?' he mused, not sure if he should send Jameson a bottle of brandy for his choice in inter...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 6

"Let's duck in here a minute," Hermione's clone said as she opened the door to an unused classroom.

"Sure," Mist replied as he walked into the unused classroom, wondering what it used to be used for since it didn't have any specialized equipment lying around. "What's up?"

"We have questions," Hermione told him as she followed him into the classroom.

"Lots of questions and we've been waiting all day," the clone added as she walked into the classroom and closed the door...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 5

"We're horrible, you know that right?" Hermione asked as she leaned back against Mist's chest as they watched Harry fuck one of the Ginny's from behind on the four poster bed that Mist had conjured out of thin air while Ginny played with the other Ginny's breasts as the other Harry fucked that Ginny. 'This is probably going to be a trainwreck but at least they're having fun.'

"It's not like I stacked the deck or enchanted the cards to let me cheat," Mist 'assured' her as he played with ...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 4

"I still think Malfoy is up to something," Harry complained, knowing something was up with the little shite since he hadn't caused any problems or even offered a snide word to anyone since the train.

"Just because Malfoy is being civil doesn't mean he's up to something," Hermione argued as they walked down the seventh floor corridor. "Maybe he's just growing up."

"Do you honestly believe that?" Mist asked as he stopped in front of the tapestry of dancing trolls.

"No,"...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 3

Snape smirked as he vanished Mist's fountain pen with a wave of his wand. "Is there a reason you think the rules don't apply to you Potter?"

Mist looked up from his potion notes and glared at Snape. "Point of contention, the school rules require that all homework be written with a quill, it says nothing about notes or anything I'm not turning in. That pen was my personal property and you destroyed it, I'll be registering an official complaint with my head of house."

"Fiftee...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 2

"Fucking ministry," Mist muttered under his breath as he used his wood manipulation ability to bury one of Crookshanks' hairs in the apple wood wand that he was making.

"What has the ministry done this time?" Hermione asked as she walked over to where Mist was sitting against a tree in the orchard.

Mist glanced up at Hermione. "I'm just annoyed that it's nearly impossible to find any books on crafting wands."

"That's because the ministry doesn't want people having multiple w...

Copy Protection Void Part 31

Egwene quickly tossed up a wall of air when the mutated creature that looked like a cross between a chihuahua and a rotting squid reappeared in front of Apple and promptly started snarling at her and swinging its slime covered tentacles at everyone. "I think they're getting worse."

"Stay!" Mist ordered as he took a step back to keep out of range of the tentacles, causing the 'dog' to growl at him.

"Sit!" Apple snapped at the dog then quickly pulled her ring off when it turn...

Celestial Worm Part 7

"We should call in sick today," Amy muttered, finding it hard to take her eyes off her sister who was playing in the water in her birthday suit and blessing her sunglasses for hiding that fact.

Taylor glanced at Amy who was sitting next to her in a beach chair with a canopy that she'd borrowed from a beach in Mexico, rather amused that Amy had let her sister talk her into stripping since they were on a deserted Caribbean island where no one was around to see them. "Or you could t...

Population Boom, Hogwarts

Mist blinked a couple of times when he found himself floating in space or something that resembled space since he wasn't having trouble breathing and he wasn't freezing. He took a minute to gather his thoughts as he appreciated the view of the stars since it didn't seem like he was in any danger of immediately dying from lack of oxygen. 'One dead demon lord that liked pretending to be a dark god, one pissed off god and a warlock caught in the middle,' he mused, rather annoyed that he couldn't...

Celestial Worm Part 6

Riley was pulled out of her daydreaming about ways to create a bionic super soldier when the moving truck she was riding in lurched, making her wonder if Crawler had jumped out the back. "Did you feel that?" she asked as she checked the passenger side mirror, wanting to make sure she hadn't imagined it.

"Yeah," Shatterbird replied as she checked the driver's mirror to check to see if he'd jumped out the back or the side, something he'd done occasionally if he'd gotten bored enoug...

Celestial Worm Part 5

“Wormhole Extreme, really?” Amy asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Can you really think of a better design?” Leet asked. “I mean my power all but dumped it into my head this way and it’s more robust than most of my designs.”

“You’ve got a point there,” Amy conceded.

"You might have overpaid us," Uber reluctantly admitted as he watched Leet run his scanner over the power armor that Warlock had conjured out of thin air to pay for them using the gate.

"Pro...

Celestial Worm Part 4

'Mine!' Noelle's shard screamed over the temporary mental link that Taylor had accidently created by scanning Noelle's mind with her Telepathy.

'What the hell?!' Taylor asked, doing her best to make sense of the alien thoughts and feelings that she was picking up through the link while keeping her 'fingers' on the mental switch that would allow her to teleport out of the base if Noelle woke up and ripped through the vault door.

'Stay out! Host is mine!' the voice screamed as she l...

Celestial Worm Part 3

Taylor stopped sipping her rootbeer long enough to look at the blonde teenager that was approaching her. "No."

"No?" Lisa asked. "I just need a minute of your time."

"I'm not interested in working for a villain," Taylor replied, having read the girl's thoughts about her dangerous and possibly insane boss and the fact that she was supposed to investigate new capes.

"How?" Lisa asked in confusion as she studied the red haired girl with a steampunk style costume, wondering what...

Celestial Worm Part 2

"How long would it take to rig the door so that she could be shot while escaping?" Assault asked thoughtfully, glaring at the teenage girl that had killed a girl by stuffing her in a locker filled with toxic waste even if the girl had recovered, possibly by triggering as the doctor and nurses had noted some physical changes.

"Don't answer that," Director Piggot told Armsmaster, not taking her eyes off of Sophia. "Despite my better judgment, I allowed you to join the wards because...

Celestial Worm

An: Short detour...

"You put her in the morgue!" Danny snapped, barely resisting the urge to hit the 'doctor' that had misdiagnosed his daughter.

"I'm glad that she's alive but she wasn't breathing and she didn't have a heartbeat," the doctor told the man, trying to avoid getting hit over something that wasn't even his fault.

Taylor blinked a couple of times when she woke up and realized that she wasn't stuffed in a locker. She glanced at the closed door then focused on th...

Harry Potter and the Mirrors of Madness Part 3

"This is obviously a prank," Molly complained, wondering how the twins had pulled it off.

"Just because I played a couple of pranks in school, doesn't mean I can't be Sirius when the situation calls for it," Sirius told her with a slight smile.

Molly turned and glared at Mundungus. "Did you sell them polyjuice?"

"No," Dung replied, voice heavy with annoyance, having already told her that he hadn't sold them polyjuice several times. "Do you have any idea how much polyj...

Copy Protection Void Part 30

An: I'll do another edit in the morning... high winds, so I want this posted.

Mist pulled his attention away from the closing portal to the Blight and cast his enchanting spell, causing a floating translucent blue window to appear in front of him, showing him several options. "I'm not sure where to start, spell creation or enchanting?"

Egwene's clone smiled at Mist. "Spell creation, I'm going to want a copy."

"I figured," Mist replied with a smile as he tapped the butto...

Harry Potter and the Mirrors of Madness Part 2

Harry had two seconds to take in the Mirror Hermione's appearance before she practically teleported across the distance and he found himself the recipient of a bone crushing hug from a copy of his bushy haired friend. "Hi."

"I missed you!" Mirror Hermione told him. "How are you alive?" She blinked when she noticed the Mirror Harry and the fact that there were two Rons. "What's going on? The voice didn't say much, just that I'd have a chance to find Harry."

"Long story short...

Copy Protection Void Part 29

Mist looked up from Bran's map of the Two Rivers when Samara rushed into the Winespring's reading room. "What's the matter?" he asked when he noticed that she was white as a sheet.

"I had a vision, half of the forsaken are coming in an hour to wreck the village and Lanfear is already in the village," Samara blurted out.

"Did you see a solution or do I have to come up with something? Do you know which members of the forsaken are showing up?" Mist asked, trying to get a bette...

Harry Potter and the Mirrors of Madness

"There's no way this is safe," Ginny complained as she studied the ritual circle that Hermione was drawing on the floor of the library in Grimmauld Place.

"The ritual has been safely used for thousands of years, it's not my fault that the Twilight cult is extremely good at keeping their secrets," Hermione argued as she continued drawing the ritual circle that would give them the ability to travel through mirrors.

"I've never heard of the Twilight cult," Ginny complained.

"It...

Copy Protection Void Part 28

Egwene's clone glanced up from the book she was reading when Mist shifted in his cot, letting her know that he was awake. "How much do you remember?"

Mist took a few seconds to gather his thoughts as he glanced around the familiar white tent, trying to figure out where he was and why someone had created a magical cage around his side of the tent. "Bits and pieces. I remember visiting a bunch of obelisks and getting crap and drinking a couple of ciders, everything else is sort of ...
