《Emerald》18

So there I sat, in professor McGonagall's room, with Draco... and Neville.
"What the hell did you do?" I whispered to Neville.
"I stole something from Snape's closet, what did you do?" Neville whispered back.
"You don't want to know." I groaned as I slumped back in my chair.
Thirty minutes of sitting here, and staring at the wall.
What a time to be alive.
"Psst." Draco whispered to me. I turned my head toward him, and he threw a rolled up paper at me.
While it was almost too my hands, it turned to ash.
"No passing notes, Mr Malfoy." McGonagall said, putting her wand back down on her desk.
Draco make a small kissing face to me, before smirking and looking away.
"Eww." Neville said, pretending to gag.
"No talking, Mr Longbottom." McGonagall said.
I let out a long, loud sigh.
I leaned forward, hovering my head against my desk.
I let my head drop onto the wood repeatedly.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
I laid my head down on my desk, and turned my face toward Draco.
Draco looked at me, the corners of his lip turned up and formed his devilish smirk.
That smirk of his, made my knees weak.
...
"I can't believe that you got a detention, you're lucky it didn't cost us any house points." Hermione scuffed, as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm sorry I 'used the bathroom too long'." I replied sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.
Rose flew in the window, dropped the note on the floor, before sitting on her perch.
I picked the note up, and opened it.
I quickly read the note, before sticking it in the drawer with the rest of them.
"I've gotta go, I'll be back." I told Hermione as I slipped my shoes on, and grabbed my coat.

"Behave." She cocked an eyebrow at me.
"Always." I laughed as I ran out the door.
The sun was almost setting, causing the snow to reflect the colors of the sky.
I quickly walked down passed Hagrid's hut, to the Quidditch field.
Draco came flying in on his broom, stopping right in front of me.
His coat matched my charcoal gray hat that he was wearing.
Draco's nose, and cheeks were rosy from the cool winter air.
"Hop on, I want to take you for a ride." Draco patted the front of his broom softly with his free hand.
Draco had been the seeker on the Slytherin team for the last few years.
He wonderful at flying, I don't like heights.
"No, im not getting on that broom." I said stepping back.
"Why not? I'm a good driver." Draco asked me, as he slid back a little on his broom.
"I don't like heights, I prefer to keep both feet on the ground." I turned around, and began walking away.
Draco flew up on his broom, and drove next to me.
"Come on, I'll stay close to the ground." Draco begged me, as he followed me on my left side.
"No." I said walking faster.
It wasn't fast enough.
Draco grabbed me by the hips, and lifted me on the front of his broom, before taking off into the air.
"Ahhh." I screamed, grabbing onto the broom with an iron grip.
The trees passed by under our feet.
"You're fine, I promise. I won't tip you off." Draco wrapped his arm around me, which gave me a little security, but not enough.
"I want to go down!" I demanded.
Draco leaned in slowly, and kissed my neck softly.
"Now!" I yelled at him.

Draco sighed loudly as he turned his broom around, and began flying back too the field.
I quickly hopped off his broom, I stumbled as I tried to regain my balance.
"See, your hearts still beating. You're still alive." Draco hopped off of his broom.
Draco placed his hand under my coat and on my chest.
I could feel his cold hands through my shirt.
"Thump, thump, thump." Draco said softly, as he mimicked my heart beat.
"You asshole, don't ever do that again!" I yelled at him, and I kicked him in the shin.
"Ouch!" Draco squealed in a high pitched voice.
He hopped on one leg, while holding his shin as he winced in pain.
Draco then fell too the ground, rolling side to side for a few moments.
"I think their gonna have to cut it off!" He wined as he held his shin.
"Some times, you're are such a pussy!" I leaned over him, and looked down to him.
"At least I'm not scared of a little broom." Draco spat at me.
This boy makes me so angry sometimes.
I squinted my eyes at him, as he cracked a little smile at his own smart remark.
I kicked the snow, causing it to cover his face.
Draco grabbed my leg, and pulled me too the ground.
Draco and I rolled around on the ground.
We both laughed as we fought to gain leverage on one another.
Draco was much stronger than me, physically I didn't stand a chance.
He quickly flipped me on my back, he used his body weight to hold me down.
Draco's hands pinned my arms above my head.
His legs pressed against mine, holding me completely too the ground.
"That snow is cold, Ms Stewart." Draco smirked as he spoke in his low voice.
The snow dripped off his face, as it melted against his warm skin.
"My head is plenty cold, it would be nice if my hat didn't get stolen." I glared at him, as I looked up at my hat that sat on his head.
"You're not getting this one back, darling." Draco blinked slowly as a soft grin appeared on his lips.
Draco's warm breath glided across my skin, as it made small clouds of fog in the air.
"I still want to take you somewhere, will you walk there with me?" Draco asked as he loosened his grip, before letting go of me completely.
He stood up, and extended his hand out to me.
I grabbed it, his grip was gentle but firm, as he helped me to my feet.
"As long as I can keep both feet on the ground."

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide
