“15 Hawthorne Lane” I said as I tossed the Floo powder into the fireplace. In an instant, the fire from the FirePlace offered by the Room of Requirement turned a bright green and then there was a head made of flames floating above the fireplace. A very familiar head, if at least slightly better put together than it had been some months earlier when he had last seen the man fleeing on the back of a hippogriff.

“If it isn’t my rogue godson. Finally remembered this old ...

“Piandao the Weasel, I wish I could say the same, but we both know that you will be remembered for a month at the most before your village moves on. Killing you will just be another notch on my belt.” I said with a shrug, purposely attempting to irritate him as I rose from the ground with a smirk.

“We’ll see about that” he said, and then he was off. His blade sliced a few bangs off my hair as I bent at the waist to avoid the attack. His attempt to shift his footing and send th...

“Ozai was…is my brother. I love him just like any brother would love their own, but that creature on the throne. The one who commands the commission of so many atrocities. That is not my brother. That is who you must end. You must put an end to the Fire Lord so a new era can be born in the Fire Nation. That is where Zuko will come in. He and you will teach the Fire nation to become more than we have been for the last century, the two of you working together will change the fate of the Fir...

He deflected the bullets but that was only the first salvo. I twisted my fingers into the Horse seal and took a deep breath. When I breathed out, it was with all the force of a hurricane. The wind uprooted several of the thin trees that called the land of Rivers home. From his position, he saw the effects of the coming wind and dropped to the ground and squatted. I watched as his chakra concentrated itself all along his body and the wind blew against him but failed to even make him budge. One...

“Interesting. But you don’t have it so that doesn’t matter to me, does it?” Now she got the feeling that he was purposefully trying to get on her nerves.

“Okay, I have only five minutes to make it all the way across the castle so I’ll be quick here. This person I am going to ask has a father who serves as the British Representative to the ICW, and a pair of brothers, one an aurora, and the other an ICW hitwizard. Nothing you can offer matches up to that.” She could no hel...

She danced around them, cackling all the while and while I did not notice it then, Toji would later inform me that I had been smiling from ear to ear as the spar proceeded.

“So you mean in less than a month’s time, every fire bender will become unable to bend. Defenseless?” Sokka asked, a fire burning in his gaze as he interrogated Zuko’s kind uncle. The fact that the old man had always been kind to them and never seemed to care that much abo...

Chapter 16.4- Doom Days

“Veela are not just creatures of sex, passion, and lust, as media would enjoy potraying us as. Yes, I can not deny that we do have such aspects baked into our very being, but they are far from the main point. A better way to put it would be to say that we are creatures of the mind and magic. Nothing gets both the mind and magic of a person roaring quite like sex and lust so that is where that comes in” She explained, taking note of the way his eyes narrowed at her.

“What does tha...

Chapter 35.4- One Thousand Hands

One person I often used as my standard for this was Uchiha Itachi from canon. He had all the makings of a good shinobi, good chakra control, excellent genjutsu prowess, and flawless taijutsu but his weaknesses were easily apparent: terrible stamina, progressing blindness and a disease that wreaked havoc through his body. Regardless of these weaknesses, he had still been one of the most dangerous shinobi of his time. It didn’t matter that he had shitty stamina when he ended every fight in se...

The land of Rivers was burning. In hindsight, that should have been an outcome he saw coming from taking the waterskin. Perhaps he might have left that behind if he saw this scale of destruction in the near future. Naaa. He’d have taken it either way. He would just have done it with more gravitas, recognizing the moment for the pivotal shift it was. Now, just how did they get here. Right, it all began with Shika, Toshiro, and Kizuru.

Chapter 39.3- And so the Dragons Danced

 I couldn’t blame them to be honest, I knew my body looked good. Anyone else who had seen as much war as I had would be a mess of scars, but there was not a single scar to be found on my body. A combination of Amara’s prodigious healing ability and my own skill in the battlefield meant that I got to enjoy war toned musculature with none of the common war scars. If I belonged to a lesser culture, then the lack of scars would have been a weakness in and of themselves, but here in the F...

Chapter 16.3- Doom Days

Right now, she was a woman on a mission, and like every Veela before her, she would not fail.

She followed his steps, hurrying after him as his legs covered the ground in a speed that bellied their length. She caught up to him just as he was rounding the corner. Without even thinking it through, she pushed him through the nearest door and right into the classroom within. Thank the Flames, it was empty, she thought. But then in less than a second, she felt something poke into her ribs. ...

I looked at the necklace again before snapping the jewelry box closed and slipping it into the pocket of my robes. Matilda wanted to be asked in front of her friends in a way that reminded her of her mother’s tales about how her father had first asked her to Hogsmeade. Hilgerth privately thought the expectation was stupid and unrealistic but had wholeheartedly agreed with the idea because she knew that one of the boys who were planning on asking her out- Connerty- would quiver at the though...

Chapter 39.2- And so the Dragons Danced

“I’m bored” Azula’s voice whined out as I breathed out and loosed the arrow. It flew right over my target’s shoulder, sailing into the empty field behind it and planting itself into the ground. I turned to the Princess with an annoyed expression that I could feel grow in intensity as she smirked and shrugged at me, not even bothering to show any remorse for causing the miss.

“Surely, you do not think that was my fault. You miss often enough without me that you can not possi...

‘Poison or destroy?’ He signed at Shika, waiting for her to make a decision. They had yet to decide one way or the other at this point, but instead of replying him with signs, she let her actions do the talking, taking out a steel syringe that she stabbed into one of the barrels from the top. Taking out a scroll, she provided both he and Toshiro with enough syringes to deal with all the other barrels. And then when they arrived at a collection of sealing scrolls, she made a single handsea...

Chapter 16.1- Doom Days

I stared at my reflection on the conjured mirror. I was wearing presentable robes and had come up with a good plan after research into the intended target. Getting a date was a lot like an assassination, I had come to learn. You had to learn the target’s likes and dislikes, the ins and outs of their daily routine, and then stalk them for a long period of time before deciding the right time to strike. For me, that would come at the end of Arithmancy class. That was the time where she was mos...

I took a deep breath in and then exhaled as I let go of the bow’s string. It snapped into place, sending the arrow flying and right into the stomach of my straw target. I twisted my lips at the sight. Especially as Toji began applauding.

“I’d been aiming for the head” I said with audible disappointment bleeding into my voice without my input.

“And just a day ago, you’d been missing the whole body. It’s progress. Good progress”

“I have just a month to mas...

He jumped between trees and held his breath as another patrol made their way past him. By his side, Toshiro and Shika were similarly still and once the patrol passed, they exploded into movement once again. Their mission was simple. Simple but insanely difficult, just like most things ended up being. He felt the warm brush of Toshiro’s chakra as it cloaked them once more, but now to achieve a different aim. Invisibility had been necessary when out in the forest, ...

Chapter 38- And so the Dragons Danced (Complete)

It had been a month since Ba Sing Se truly came mine and in that time, it still felt like I was flying by the seat of my pants. Amara had died during the raid of the palace and I’d been forced to come to terms with the fact that my orders were suboptimal. Ordering a healer into an invasion force was a braindead move. The other generals had healers of their own so that meant the army wasn’t particularly stranded but the fact that I lacked one in my personal unit was a blow. Of course, I ha...

Chapter 15: Don't kill them yet- Doom Days (Complete)

I looked at my surroundings, careful not to give anything away about my internal thoughts or feelings about my present position. When I came up with this plan, I definitely had not foreseen ending up here. It was so remote from my reasoning that hit had not even been considered as an edge case. In every single situation, I imagined Dumbledore working to bury or otherwise obsu=cure the happenings within the castle just as healways had at the very minimum. I expected some protection or respect ...

Chapter 34- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

When you remove the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is the truth. I can’t remember which smarts said that, so I would be taking credit for its from this point onwards. The only issue was that that statement did little to help or even explain the present situation. They’d agreed that it was best if they entered the cave to find what was producing the water. They’d even played devil’s advocate and tried to make arguments for not venturing into the cave but not a ...

Chapter 34.5- One Thousand Hands

With my byakugan, I could see the minute beads of sweat as they began to form on his temple. He lifted a hand to wipe and then looked at me. Just like against the Raikage, I’d put in the extra concentration to keep the armour invisible to the naked eye, using fire natured chakra and not fire itself to achieve that goal of heat without warning.

“What are you doing?” The man asked, but I just smirked and sent a roundhouse kick screaming for his head. He blocked it with his cane aga...

Chapter 15.5- Doom Days

She stumbled backwards from the force of that one and took a stinging hex to the midsection for her inattention. She bent over, nearly retching and I ended things with a disarmer to spare her even more pain. I wanted to say something, but I could see the tears building at her eyes so I just tossed her wand back to her before I waved my wand at her stomach and muttered one of the pain relief spells I’d seen Pomphrey use on Cedric back when he’d returned from getting the scores.

They had returned to the Lion turtle and Aang’s training had continued in essence. Now, his days were split between contact with his past lives and the time he spent learning under Master Jeong-Jeong. The former Fire Nation Admiral was a harsh taskmaster, seeing to it that every single basic that existed was covered before Aang began to bend in earnest. The time being wasted had grated at her in the beginning but Aang had borne it all with a Monk’s patience.

She had enjoye...

He remained stationary as I approached and my fingers stretched out at him. Just like earlier, his cane moved in place to block my attack, and then I kept going. “Two palms” I muttered, “Four”, “Eight” I kept going until I reached ‘Sixty-Four palms and he kept pace with me all the while, blocking each and every attack as it came. I settled into a scowl and then kept going after that. The next sixty four strikes to complete the one hundred and twenty eight palms jutsu came out wi...

She closed her eyes and felt at the ocean beneath her. The ocean was a massive reservoir of water, the size of which no mind could ever imagine. She had tried to get Aang to describe what it felt like to merge with a being that powerful, but he had been too put of I to remember anything bt the call for vengeance that had moved the ocean spirit to open itself to the Avatar and hijick Aang’s position as the bridge between the spirit and physical realms fo...

“Dead? How?” I found myself asking almost instinctively, forgetting that these people did not answer to me…yet.

“That is for us to find out, Mr. Potter.” Bones said with pursed lips.

“Now that you are cleared, you can be on your way, Mr. Potter. We hope not to see you here for a while” She said while unclasping the bracelet in her hand to release the wards around the cell. Scrimgeor took out my wand from his jacket pocket and held it out towards me. I reached out t...

“We have to see this family heirloom” Scrimgeor finally said, and I actually snorted.

“It’s Potter family magic” I said, using the excuse that pureblood families had used to keep the ministry out of their business for centuries. It worked just as well now as it had back in the 1700s and both of the ministry workers just gave me flat looks.

“That’s bullshit” Scrimgeor said and I shrugged at him. I didn’t make the rules. Even if the Marauder’s map wasn’t fami...

“You take the younger one. Oldie is mine” I told my teammates before taking off in a body flicker. I moulded the air around me into my chakra cloak in a matter of seconds as I appeared right in front of the old man, intent on delivering a gentle fist strike to end the fight before it even began, but against all odds- he was faster. He moved his head backwards, allowing my grasping fingers that had been aimed at crushing his windpipe with a tap to hit nothing but air. The cane whistled as ...

Perhaps I should have seen this coming, I thought to myself while pinching the bridge of my nose. Could I even deal with this, I silently wondered. Did I even want to? Part of me said yes, but the rest of me was going to b staying far far away from this whole thing with all I had in me. Long Feng had managed to infiltrate the rebel movement, and Azula had begun planning some form of sting operation that involved her infiltrating them disguised as a peasant girl and getting close eno...

“Call me Azula, as I’ve told you a hundred times before. And what I am hearing you say is that the rebels are what are keeping you so busy so I should deal with them and then you’ll have more free time to train with me” She said, and I felt my heart skip a beat at the thought of Azula of all people hunting down the Earth Kingdom citizens causing the present unrest. But that was just the initial reaction. She wasn’t a practitioner o senseless violence. She could be cold-blooded but i...
