《Emerald》25
Advertisement
That summer, I spent alone.
I was grounded, like always.
My parents are against me having magic, and being the only one in our family that can do magic.
They keep me in my room as much as they can.
Hermione wrote to me all summer, she always does.
I think that's what rebuilt our friend ship.
Ron is too lazy to write, and Harry's guardians don't let him.
My summer consisted of lots of cigarettes, and constant thoughts of Draco Malfoy.
Every day, I waited... and waited for a letter from him.
It never came.
I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.
I was turning 17 this year, Draco turned 17 over the summer.
Being older now, I didn't know if that was better or worse.
...
"How's Harry?" I asked Hermione, as we sat together on the train heading to Hogwarts.
Harry was sleeping with his head against the window.
"He had a trial, with the ministry of magic. Dementor's went after him, and his cousin this summer. He had to use magic to save their lives. Harry's been up since the early hours." Hermione flipped through her news paper.
"Well, this is the first I'm hearing of this. Thanks for keeping me updated." I replied sarcastically.
"We heard about it this morning, Don't be all in a tussy." Ron groaned at my comments.
Harry slept nearly the whole train ride.
I would be exhausted if I had to deal with all this.
Dementor's were roaming more often. There were more sightings of death eaters, Voldemort was back.
Voldemort was growing stronger.
We all loaded off the train when we arrived at Hogwarts.
The night sky was filled with stars.
"Surprised to see you here, Potter." Malfoy spat at us as him and his 'crew' walked at our sides, "don't worry, they've got a cell in Azkaban with your name on it."

Draco,and his crew let out a loud chuckle.
"Shut up, Malfoy." I hissed, as I looked straight ahead.
"Little Ms Stewart grew a bit mouthy over the summer.... what are these? Hand me downs from your muggle parents." Draco tugged at the sleeve of my sweat shirt.
"He's not worth it." Harry told me.
I shook off Malfoy's comments, as we walked away from them.
All I could think about was how good Malfoy looked in black, and how good his rings looked on his fingers.
Our carriage waited for us.
Luna stood next to it, waiting for us.
"I've missed you!" I hugged her, Luna hugged me back as she smiled.
On the ride to Hogwarts on the carriage, Luna told us all about her weird little facts.
I thought they were interesting, and it was nice to see her talk about something she liked.
As we sat in the grand hall, Dumbledore introduced our new defense against the dark arts teacher.
Professor Umbridge, she was from the ministry of magic.
She was short, and dressed in all pink.
She spoke when she wanted to, with an evil smile pasted on her face.
"You know what this means? The ministry is trying to get in the middle of Hogwarts." Hermione whispered in my ear, as Umbridge spoke.
"I've got a bad feeling about this." I replied.
Something in my gut told me this lady, was bad news.
"She was at my trial." Harry told us.
The words he spoke, made that feeling a hell of a lot worse.
As Hermione and I walked to our room, the hat that was on my head was yanked off.
"Give that back, that's Cedrick's!" I yelled.
Malfoy dangled my hat in the air.

People stared, as the walked past us in the busy hallway.
Draco knew exactly how to press my buttons.
Draco liked to make me mad.
"Ahhh, I think I might keep this one too. " Malfoy smirked.
Crabbe and Goyle stood at his sides, with their arms crossed.
"Give it back, asshole." I yelled, trying to grab my hat from Draco's grip.
He was too tall for me to be able to grab it.
Hermione grabbed my arm.
"He's not worth it." She said, pulling me away.
I gritted my teeth, as we began to walk away.
What a dick head.
"Thats what I thought, you mudblood." Draco spat, letting out a chuckle.
That comment pushed me over the edged.
Do it, do it, do it!
The voice in my head repeated those words over, and over.
"On second thought.." I yanked my arm out of Hermione's grip.
I marched over to Malfoy, and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
Draco's smirk was quickly taken over by the look of fear that spread across his face.
I used all my strength, and punched him across the face.
I let go of his shirt as my fist smacked acrosshis face.
Draco flew to the ground on his back.
Draco wined loudly, as he laid there.
His nose looked a little crooked as it poured blood.
Students swarmed from all over, and created a circle around us.
"Who's got the high ground now, bitch?" I spat at Draco.
I stood over him, as I looked down on him.
Draco continued to cry out.
I ripped the hat from his hands.
"Man, that felt good." I shook my hand in the air.
I pulled my fist back again.
Before I could punch him again, someone grabbed my bicep.
I turned my head to see professor McGonagall.
"My office, now." She spoke, as she pulled my arm.
Shit
"Ahh! I think she broke my nose." Draco cried, as I stepped away from him.
He rolled on the ground holding his face.
His blood was pooled and smeared all over him, and the ground.
I even had some on my hand
"I'll piss on your grave!" I yelled back at Draco, as professor McGonagall lead me too her office.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
