《Reaper of The Wizarding World》About The Vaults
Advertisement
Just as expected Divination was incredibly boring, I've always been good at math but that doesn't mean it's not boring. The first task was to calculate the odds of a coin landing on heads. I managed to 'guess' right about eighty percent of the time, which is a neat trick. That is if I wanna whip out a piece of paper every time I go to flip a coin. No thank you, I'll stick to luck.
Transfiguration was a bit better since all third-year Gryffindor's are in it together. That being said the content of the lessons is as boring as ever. Just like each year before McGonagall started to lecture the moment the clock struck ten.
But what I've really been waiting for is now, as soon as lunch ended Hermione, Harry, Ron, Theo, Daphne, and I head to Care of Magical Creatures together. Class is taking place at the forbidden forest today so we head there first.
As we reach the edge of the forest I can see a nervous Hagrid talking to a cheery Charlie.
A few of us wave getting their attention, they both wave back before going back to talking. I assume they are talking about today's lesson so we leave them alone.
"So, did you find the path?" I ask Daphne sitting on the stump in front of Hagrid's hut.
"What?! You guys already went looking for it? We only got told about it yesterday, no fair." Ron complains sitting on the grass next to me.
Daphne gives him a small smirk, "I did find it, of course I didn't go inside, since you told us to wait for you."
I nod, "Thank you for listening. Thought I would have preferred if you didn't look for it on your own at all."

Daphne gives a sorry nod, "The other two told me, sorry."
I wave off her apology, "You didn't know so it's fine."
Ron gives me an odd look, "Why do we need you even to just look for it?"
With a small smile I turn to him, "Because sometimes the entrances are guarded, be careful. I only know up to the third vault but I can only guess it gets harder from the second on."
"So how far did Snape get?" Harry asks curiously.
"He got to the second and gave up."
Theo's eyes narrow, "He does seem like the type to give up if it's too troublesome, but why?"
"Because the vault he found isn't about knowing a spell, it has an entry cost. Someone else got to the second vault before him so he went on to the third but gave up as he didn't want to race."
"Wait so do you not know where the second vault is?" Hermione asks.
"I know what the hint for the second vault is, but no I don't know where is. Although I will tell you the hint is very easy, I could probably find it if I spent a while looking."
"So what is the hint?" I turn to Ron to see he is incredibly excited.
I smirk at him, "Why can't you get this excited about school?"
Ron rolls his eyes, "I do, with dueling."
Hermione raises her brows at him, "That because we don't get homework in dueling."
Ron looks offended but we all know she is right, "Of course a treasure hunt is more fun than schoolwork. It has work in the name!"
Harry laughs at his defensiveness, "But who do we go to if you're busy."

I shrug as I gesture over at Charlie, "Him or Lupin. Both of them know what we are up to and I'm sure Lupin would be willing to help. I hear the marauders cleared a few vaults themselves so Lupin would know a thing or two about the vaults. Two and four if I remember right?"
"Who are the marauders?" Theo asks leaning against Hagrid's hut.
"They are what our father's friend group called themselves. Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and a rat. Just like you guys make up the Mafia."
Hermione looks at me with an annoyed gaze, "I never joined such a thing."
Theo laughs as he raises a hand, "I did."
Ron nods, "I did as well."
Daphne smiles, "I am fine with it."
"Same," Harry says looking at Hermione with a teasing grin.
Hermione scoffs, "Whatever."
"Speaking of the Mafia, the twins and I have a surprise for you this weekend," Theo says with a proud smile.
"Oo, then I'll look forward to it."
"The twins have been hard at work over the summer. I think you will be surprised at their successes."
"I was already surprised last week, I can't believe they pulled something like 'that' off. Truly a terrifying pair of thieves, not to mention their prank toy was capable of beating the ministry's best protective charms. Well, it didn't break them, managed to get around I should say."
Theo laughs at my words as everyone else seems to be confused, rightfully so. Before I can speak again I see Charlie walking towards us, everyone turns towards him.
He waves hello as he gets close, "Sorry to butt into your conversation but I wanted to tell you, Luar will be helping with class today."
I hold up a hand, "That's no problem, I'm sure she will like the attention."
Charlie nods, "I'm sure she will. You guys were talking about the vaults, right?"
Harry, the closest to him, nods, "Then you should be careful, my friends and I tried to take on the first one when we were younger. Almost died to the frozen knight."
Ron's eyes widen as he stands up, "You never told me the vaults were real?!"
Charlie smirks at him as he ruffles his hair, "It's like an open secret in Hogwarts, if you find them you are supposed to never tell anyone. If you are unable to beat them you have to put them back to how they were before you found them."
Hermione steps forward, "Can you give us a hint?"
Charlie strokes his chin as he thinks, "Two fires beat one ice? I guess that is the best way to phrase it."
I smile at his words, "Good hint."
Charlie smirks back at me, "Thanks, this is fun, I can see why you wanted to be the 'game master'."
"I know, right?"
"Well class is starting soon so I have to get back to the animals."
"Thank you, professor," Hermione says politely.
Charlie just waves as he walks away, "So, there is a frozen knight." Theo states obviously.
"There is."
"What else?" Ron asks hopefully.
"I'm not the hint guy, go ask Lupin. I heard his first lesson tomorrow will help you guys in the second vault though."
Hermione's eyes narrow, "What is the lesson about?"
I give her a smile, "Boggarts."

Dragon Hack
Rich's life sucks. He lives in a dystopia, His father's an abusive creep, his mother's up to some shady stuff, and he's pretty sure he's going to die a virgin. He can't do much about the first few problems, but a new darknet game might give him a shot at getting laid. But even the most well-laid plans go astray, and he ends up with way, way more than he bargained for. He gains a character with the rarest of all races: Dragon. But it's a two-way street, and strange occurances and problems soon have Rich wondering if this is truly a game, or something far more sinister... WARNING: Contains verbal abuse and harsh language.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw
