《w o n d e r f u l [f.w]》5.

After the whole announcement of the tournament, I left the Great Hall, and went to the library. In my last letter to Evangeline, I promised I'd give her some books that I loved, so I went to get them. On the way, I saw George and Angelina, behind a statue holding hands. It was quite sweet actually. It wasn't so sweet when George spotted me.
"Black! Black!" He hissed at me.
I turned around. "What?!"
"Don't tell a soul about what you saw."
"I don't know what you mean Weasley." I said with a small smile, and skipped away towards the books.
When I got there, it was pretty empty. I guess everyone was still in the Great Hall or going back to the common rooms. I grabbed my books and after around 10 minutes, I made my way to the exit. On my way out I saw Cedric, and I ran up to him.
"Ced! Cedric!" I shouted and ran up to him to get his attention.
"Oh hi Y/N." He said smiling, turning around to see me.
"You're not seriously considering putting your name in are you?" I asked nervously.
"Why not? It's challenging, a great way to bring Hogwarts pride, and it would be fun." He said as we walked together.
"People have died Ced." I stopped walking.
"They've changed it so that won't happen again." He turned to me looking me right in the eyes
"You can never be certain." I said, waking up to him and hugging him.
"I promise I won't get hurt."
"Don't make promises you can't keep Ced."
And with that I let go of him and went back to the common room.
When I got back, it was around lunchtime. Me and Fred had decided we'd go to the kitchens and get some food and eat it in the common rooms together - we wanted to be nice and warm, not surrounded by people in the Hall. I was waiting for him to come back with our food, when someone stepped through the portrait.

"Evangeline!" I exclaimed, running up to her.
"Ah Y/N! Why is your common room in the highest place in the school? So many steps!" She said, as she sat down on one of the sofas.
"I missed you Ev" I said as I hugged her tightly.
"So did I Black." She replied, hugging me back. As I waited for Fred to come back, me and Evangeline discussed everything - magic, school, the tournament and just general stuff too. I gave her the books, and she seemed very grateful.
After a while, she left, and I was beginning to worry where Fred was. I opened up a book and sat in front of the fireplace and began reading. Slowly, my eyes started to flutter and I fell asleep. Suddenly, I felt someone wrap their arms around me, and lift me onto the sofa, and they placed a blanket over me. I tried opening my eyes but I was so tired I couldn't. But I could smell them when the tucked me in - fireworks, logs and gingerbread - Fred.
"Wakeup sleepyhead." A soft voice whispered in my ear. Everything was fuzzy and blurry, but I soon realised I was on the sofa in the common room. I turned to look at who was speaking to me.
"Hello there Freddie." I said smiling as I stretched.
"You fell asleep before I came back." He said, sitting next to me.
"You took too long." I said snuggling to his side, wrapping the blanket around us both.
"Snape tried to give me detention for just walking, so that caused me to be late, sorry Black" He said with a sad face.
"Don't worry about it - I just missed you that's all." I said looking up to him and smiling.

We just sat there in silence then, snuggled up together, by the fire. And just like before, I fell asleep, but this time, so did Fred. We fell asleep in each others arms. If any of our friends found us like this they'd have a field day - and that's what happened.
"Say cheese." George shouted, making both me and Fred jump.
"What?" Fred asked, half asleep.
The common room was now packed, and it seemed they were all staring at me and Fred. And it seemed George had just borrowed Colin's camera to get a picture of us on the sofa.
"Give me that photo now George Weasley." I growled.
"Not a hope in hell Black." He said grinning, and running up to his dorm. I didn't have the energy to chase him, so I just sat back down next to Fred. Then did I notice, our hands were entwined. I looked at them and so did Fred, and we immediately let go. I went over to Katie and Angelina.
"How long had we been asleep like that?" I said nervously.
"Before we got back." Katie simply replied, offering me a piece of fudge.
"And none of you wanted to wake me up?!"
"Nope! You looked wayyyy too cute and peaceful together Y/N!" Angelina chirped.
My friends had seen us asleep together FOR OVER AN HOUR and didn't wake us up. I was going to kill them if I wasn't so hungry.
I went back over to Fred, and reached for one of the sandwiches he brought up. We shared the food and sat in complete silence - it was only slightly awkward.
"Y/N?"
"Hmm?"
"What did you mean by your type is gingers?"
I froze and turned to him.
"Um..I...well..." I stammered.
"Just playing with you Black." He said winking at me with a smirk on my face.
I had completely embarrassed myself now. I went and opened up a book and tried to read the embarrassment away. Today was not my day.

RakhtaBhushan (Blood Ornament)
[This book has been contracted elsewhere, which is why I am not updating any more. Please contact me if you want to continue reading the story.] God King Arya defeats Agni Asura Yaman. Two hundred years later, Asura Yaman reincarnates as golden prince, Suryadev, of RakhtaPrastha. Once he comes of age, a darkness begins to lurk in his dreams. Flashbacks from his past life erode his mind, his fate "unforeseen by the gods." As he seeks to heal, his path entwines with Vidyut, his long time rival. Hardened by the cruelties of life, Vidyut embraces the dark art of Tantra, for which he is both rejected and coveted by the people of the five kingdoms. Meanwhile, the kingdom of RakhtaPrastha is facing political turmoil and rival kingdoms, while the animosity between God King Arya and Yaman/Surya's supporter, Goddess Dimuka, is spilling into the human world. Princes, Spells, Gods, Spirits, Heaven, Mythical creatures, Wars, and Reincarnation, and so much more. It is based on Indian mythology, specifically Hindu mythology. But it is an original fantasy and focus is character arcs. It has BL/Gay content. Most Surya-Vidyut interactions are in the chapters marked Surya or Vidyut. The romance in this story is slowburn. **Daily Chapter Release** Cover Art Disclaimer: The cover art is using an image from Pinterest. The art has been kindly created by Ben Arisson.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).

Magikind [Original]
The third millennia, a time of change and evolution. An era, where people, through countless generations, have evolved strange powers and abilities. Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some refused to change or adapt. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin, will herald a new era for all Magikind. A story of how man could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. Disclaimer: Chapters will be edited once the first volume is done. Bear the beginning for the time being, and hopefully you can see my writing improving over time (I've learnt a lot on how to write because of this (though I'm still not perfect :P)) Proud Member of Writers to the End, WriTE The link to the pledged fictions PS. If you find the 'notes' too boring or too info-dumpy, feel free to skip them and just read the main chapters. They're there for the reader to understand Gin's world (written in the perspective of Gin). But later on, we can see some interactions between the main characters and the occasional references to his past in the notes, so it has its purpose.
