Chapter 48: The First Sin (Part 4)
The quarry was a standard looking industrial mining pit on the outskirts of the city. It was a jagged gash deep in ground where rocks and minerals were dug up and processed into concrete at a nearby factory, which would then be sent to the various construction sites across the city.
That wasn’t all. Some sections of the quarry were completely empty and far enough from centers of activity or security cameras that androids had taken them over to ...

Chapter 16: Spell Development
“So, what do you think?” I asked eagerly, leaning in to hear Archibald’s opinion on my idea.
“It’s… ambitious,” the squib of House Tarsworth said slowly, giving the item in his hands a close look. It was a jar of Wiggenweld Cream, the Cauldron symbol painted onto the front in green paint.
“And it doesn’t break any magical laws. Or muggle ones,” I said excitedly. “I checked.”
“You believe there is a market for some...

Chapter 47: The First Sin (Part 3)
The walk to Construction Lot #91 didn’t take very long, the site being a mere twenty minutes from Wallflower’s home.
It was bustling when Alexander and his two E-type bodyguards arrived, and he took a moment to admire the gargantuan steel skeletons of the buildings that were currently under construction.
There were a hundred or so androids swarming over the site, welding, riveting, driving machines and more. It was a loud hive of activi...

Chapter 15: Interlude 1
Harry POV
It was Boxing Day, and Harry Potter was sitting outside in the small playground a few blocks away from Privet Drive. He didn’t want to spend any time near the Dursleys today. Or ever, but he knew he had to go back eventually. For now, he was tired, and wanted to be alone with his thoughts.
Harry stared down at his hands, which had a pair of warm mittens on them. They were a gift from Sam, one of only two people he could honestly call ‘fr...

Chapter 46: The First Sin (Part 2)
“When was the last time I visited Pascal’s village?” Alexander wondered aloud as the air-limo he was riding in descended from the Bunker towards the Machine settlement. “And not because I was going to see Blue?”
After a while, he was unable to come up with an answer. “It’s been a while,” he murmured to himself as he looked out the window.
Pascal’s village, or Gear Town as it was apparently now known, had grown over the yea...

Chapter 14: Christmas Spirits
I looked down at the deck of cards in my hands. They felt oddly heavily, and they didn’t fit neatly into the palms of my hands, making them awkward to hold. Slowly, I shuffled them, and then carefully laid the top three out onto the table in front of me.
“Well? What does it say?” Sam asked eagerly, sitting across from me. Between us at the table was Harry Potter, also looking curious.
“I have no idea,” I admitted after a bit of staring...

“An entire city of PODs built right beneath the ruins of Relic City?” A2 asked incredulously.
“Yup. I was surprised too,” Alexander confirmed. After his adventure underground, the trio had returned to the surface now that the source of the mysterious signal had been discovered.
Pascal and Blue (and Olive, but Alexander didn’t care much about Blue’s fire-breathing pet) returned to their village after POD 153 had brought them up t...

Chapter 44: POD People
The tunnel with the unknown signal coming from it that Pascal had discovered was long and winding, and delved deep below the earth. As they went further into it, the surroundings slowly became curiously smooth and uniform. It was clear that someone – or something – had taken a pre-existing tunnel and expanded it.
“This work is very well done,” Pascal praised. “It was accomplished with intense heat.”
“Lasers, then?” Blue guessed.

Chapter 13: Wisdom and Knowledge
I ran a hand through my hair, feeling nervous as I walked to school the day after Halloween. The Thursday morning was crisp and cool, and I grew more anxious the closer I got to Woolingsby.
‘What will Harry think?’ I couldn’t help but wonder. ‘And Sam? How is this going to change our dynamic? Our friendship?’
I did not regret telling them about magic. It was a risk, yes, but it was something that’d needed to be done.
My thou...

Chapter 12: Halloween Fun
Several weeks passed by, and Harry Potter and I continued to work together. We hadn’t gotten closer, as the black-haired youth was still wary of me, but he didn’t seem to be as afraid as before.
He was cautious and kept his distance, but he didn’t refuse me when I began providing him with breakfast and lunch every day. Well, he tried to say no, but I didn’t listen and forced Harry to take the food whenever we met before class.
It was current...

Chapter 43: Another Adventure
“Almost to the top, Alexander!” Blue called out cheerfully. Behind her, Alex only huffed, his breath coming in short gasping bursts as he trudged along after his friend.
She was standing atop a long, high wall made of stone. It was many miles long, and though sections of it were peppered with bullet holes or blown apart by bombs, it still remained standing, a testament to what humanity had been able to construct even without advanced machines to d...

Chapter 11: Study Buddies
“So! Nice weather we’re having?”
I cringed as soon as I uttered the awkward greeting.
At least Harry was just as nervous and uncomfortable as I was, as he shifted about in his seat and avoided making eye contact with me.
“Um, yeah. I guess. Kinda nippy, though,” he eventually murmured when he realized I was waiting for him to respond.
“Mm-hmm. It’s the fall, after all,” I hummed, before shooting him a look, taking in his ...

Chapter 42: The meaning of life
“Olive! Olive, stop that!” Blue scolded the tiny, forest-green dragon that was flapping its wings angrily as it tried to divebomb Alexander. The human had just stepped into Blue’s home when the tiny winged reptile started his attack. Not that Alexander was worried that much. He just made a shield and the itty-bitty dragon bounced off of it.
“Finally got him to stop spraying fire everywhere, huh?” Alexander noted with a wry chuckle as he ca...

“That’s a lot of babies,” Alexander smiled. “I love how cute and tiny they look!”
He had his face pressed against the glass window, peering eagerly into the maternity ward where over a dozen YoRHa gynoids – predominantly O-types, as they were the first models given the upgrades – were sitting together on lounge-style couches, cradling newborn children in their arms, who were swaddled in white blankets.
“Yup! This batch of newborns...

Chapter 10: Getting hit with canon
It was almost time for school to start up again. Months had passed since my birthday. I’d successfully moved on to the next year of schooling, and with high marks in all of my classes. It was finally time to start Year 12! Or, as it was known back when I was an American, 11thgrade! Junior year!
‘Just a few more years,’ I told myself. ‘It won’t be long before I graduate High School and can move on to University!’
As I got ready f...

This is the start of my Patreon page. I am opening it in the hopes of funding my writing.
Even just a dollar a month is useful, and would go a long way to helping.
At the moment, this is rather bare bones, but will hopefully be fleshed out in the future.
