Evening the Odds: Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The Burrow

  “He will see you now.”

Hecate appeared from the entrance to the attic just seconds after I got my clothes back on. Tonks was still pulling her shirt down. She went bright red, but Hecate didn’t look at her. She might not have noticed one of her legacies was even in the room.

“Did you set everything up?” I asked.

“I instructed Dumbledore to take you into his school,” Hecate said. “He, ho...

Under a Full Moon

  “Why— are we— running?” Marlene gasped.

As soon as she asked her question her foot caught on a gnarled root. She would have pitched forward, but Harry and Sturgis grabbed her elbows, keeping her upright as they all tore through the dark.

“Harry said to,” Sturgis answered her question.

“Sure,” Marlene said. “Wonderful. But I’m a witch, not a marathon runner. If I have to spri...

Dark Days: Chapter 22

A/N: Chapter 23 will be up this week as well. This is last week's chapter, just delayed because Evening the Odds was so long.

Chapter 22

She Changed You

The world was on fire, and everyone was running. Smoke filled the air. It strangled violent coughs out of those fleeing. There was only one street and a few houses in this small Muggle town, but the inhabitants felt lost. No matter how hard they ran, they never got aw...

In Pursuit of Power: Chapter 33

A/N: I've been working on Evening the Odds, but the longer chapter length has been making it take a while, so I took a quick break to get this up for y'all.

Chapter 33

A New Goal

When we returned the next morning, it was to a buzz of activity. People were moving and lifting things and packing up anything of value. We’d come a long way from the ragtag few that set out from Eastern Washington. Between our Roman friend...

Master of Death, Lover of Witches: Chapter 26

A/N: Fun fact, this chapter is the longest one-woman sex scene I've ever written! Have fun, Harry/Hermione fans.

Chapter 26

A Learning Experience

Hermione’s arms were crossed as her foot repeatedly tapped the floor, exuding a tangible aura of impatience. In front of her, Harry paced back and forth, shooting glances at the portrait of Barnabas the Barmy and his trusty trolls.

“What are you doing—?”...

Into the Woods

“You must be Harry, right? Come in!”

The sandy-haired man beckoned Harry through the doors of Longbottom Manor. He wasn’t exactly ugly, but his jaw was extraordinarily square, lending him a slightly peculiar appearance. Despite this he was smiling brightly, and Harry couldn’t help giving him a friendly nod in return.

“Sturgis Podmore,” the man introduced himself. “I’ve been with the Order for w...

Fifty Shades of Gennin: Chapter 27

A/N: I think I'm going to do a short epilogue that jumps forward about a year in time to give closure to some of the subplots. It'll only be about 1-2k most likely, going up some time in the next few days.

Chapter 27

Once the Dust Settles

Hinata held Naruto’s hand in her own. The contact wasn’t strictly necessary now, fifteen minutes after his Hiraishin returned them to Konoha, but Hinata had chosen not to let go....

Dark Days: Chapter 21

A/N: I'm still feeling a little bit under the weather, which has resulted in slower work this week. I'm going to spend the rest of the day on the final 50 Shades of Gennin Chapter, but there's a good chance the edited version won't be up until tomorrow.

Chapter 21

Front-alley Dealings

Narcissa Malfoy held her cloak around herself as she passed the shops of Diagon Alley. Flourish and Blotts was empty, Fortescue’s Ice...

Professor Potter: Chapter 23

A/N: These kinds of chapters are always the hardest, or at least longest, to write. Usually a 3,000 word chapter wouldn't take me two days, but when it's almost all dialogue and banter it really slows me down. Thanks for your patience.

Chapter 23

Meetings

Hogwarts was just a little bit louder on weekend days. The students all talked and ate and lived with extra enthusiasm, something that blended into the atmosphere ar...

Chapter 32

And So the Flowers Bloom

Artemis didn’t complain at all about supporting me with her body. I guess at this point, we’d touched in more embarrassing ways than this. 

We picked our way through the wreckage from my fight with Hyperion. I didn’t feel sad when I looked at it. The Titan and I toppled buildings and broke streets. But at the end of it, I knew that Hyperion fell for, and I couldn’t shake the superstitious feel...

Slithering Into the Snake Den

“He cheated! I don’t know how, or in what way, or– or– or anything! But I’m sure it’s true!”

Pansy had given up on her usual nightly routine already. She was just too mad. Her skin care products were scattered around her on her bed, while the mirror she typically used lay on the floor after she plucked it from the air and dashed it at her mattress. It wasn’t like her to raise her voice...

Fifty Shades of Gennin: Chapter 26

A/N: Sorry for the long gap. I got sick this week on Tuesday night, and ever since, every day, I always thought I'd be well enough to write a ton the next day... But I couldn't make the words come. I'm healthy again (90% at least) and well and truly back. I wanted to do a chapter of In Pursuit of Power, MODLOW, and Evening the Odds this week, but now I'm multiple days behind. I MIGHT manage to finish one of those before going to bed tonight, but no guarantees. The story choice poll wi...
