"Hey, Y/N?"
I rolled over and covered the blankets over my head. I was currently lying in bed. I hadn't left my dorm since yesterday afternoon, and I skipped breakfast this morning. I wasn't in the mood.
"How did you get here Freddie?" I turned to face him. Fred was sat at the end of my bed, holding a plate of food. He got me breakfast. He didn't even have to - but he did.
"I have my ways Black." He replied, before continuing. "Now Y/N, you have to eat something, you never skip meals." There was a hint of concern in his voice.
"I'll just go to the kitchens later - you really didn't need to bring any food up. You still haven't answered my question too Freddie." I said as I propped myself up in bed, leaning against my pillows.
"I got a bit worried - everyone is worried for you Y/N. We know how much you care for Ced, but it's done, you can't do anything about it now." He told me in a soft voice. "And as for getting here, I climbed through the window." He said smirking.
I shot up from my bed. "YOU CLIMBED THROUGH THE WINDOW?!" I shouted in shock.
"Yeah it was a bloody challenge as well - imagine if the better looking twin had died and you'd be left with only Georgie." He mused.
"Not funny Fred." I mumbled.
"It is a bit." Fred winked at me.
"Okay a bit.. but never do that again - promise?" I said as I got up to him and hugged him.
He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me back, pulling me close.
"I promise Black."
After I stuffed my face with some toast, got changed into my school clothes and washed my hair, we went down to the common room. Well, we slid down. The stairs realised Fred was there and immediately turned into a slide - it was quite fun to slide down to the common room. I had completely forgotten it was Monday, and that I'd already missed Herbology and Arithmacy. I'd go catch up on the work later. Now, there was a 15 minute break in between lessons, so everyone was in the common room.

Once we'd gotten up from our little slide adventure, all our friends turned to us and smiled. We approached them and sat down together.
"Did i miss anything important?" I asked
"Yeah actually Black." George said.
"What?" I lifted my head to look at everyone.
"Cedrics been outside the common room for the past 3 hours." Alicia said.
"Why doesn't he just come in? There's only a password - he know it." I asked.
"He didn't want to upset you anymore." Angel a said, nodding her head toward the portrait entrance.
I got up, opened the door, and looked down the corridor. And surely enough, Cedric was sat there, doing his homework.
"Ced." I muttered, waking up to him.
He looked up and smiled. I just gave him a massive bear hug.
"If you die in this I'll kill you Diggory." I murmured into his shoulder.
"Did you hear what you just said Y/N? That's not possib-" Cedric started.
"Oh you get what I mean Ced - I'm saying I'll support you, but you better be careful." I led Ced to the common room, and we just sat down and started talking.
Soon enough, break was over, and we went to our classes. As I was in a different year, I had no classes with any of my friends - except potions and herbology. I excelled at those subjects, so was put in classes with older year groups so I would be learning something new. I guess I got my skills and gifts from my mother - she was an apothecary before she died. Professor Sprout does always tell me how proud my mother would be of me.
I had potions next, with Lee and Fred, so we made our way to the cold dungeons. As we got inside, I sat next to Fred, with Lee opposite us - he was sitting next to the girl he liked. Fred wriggled is eyebrows at Lee upon seeing this and I giggled. Then Snape entered, and silence fell upon the class.

"Today, we will be studying three powerful potions." The whole class seemed fascinated.
"If there is any foolery on this class, you may be punished by having to take one of them, so I advise you behave today." Snape turned to our table and narrowed his eyes at me, Lee and Fred. I smiled back - which just made him glare more.
We had to brew a simple healing potion, but also take notes on the powerful ones too. One of them - Amortentia - made the whole room smell like Fred, and I immediately knew what type of potion it was. We began brewing, and suddenly, the Slytherin pair next to us, blew up their cauldron.
"10 points from Gryffindor." Snape said, approaching the table.
"But sir, it wasn't us-" I began.
"20 points from Gryffindor." He shouted as he came closer to the table.
"Professor, we didn't blow our cauldron up - they did." Fred said pointing at the Slytherin pair, who were now covered in soot.
Snape turned to Fred and stepped towards him.
"Are you questioning my intelligence Mr Weasley?" He hissed.
"Oh not your intelligence sir - only your eyesight." The whole class began to quietly chuckle.
"I believe you should go to Specsavers sir." He said - and every half blood and muggleborn erupted into laughter. Snape looked confused and humilated.
"Weasley and Black, the both of you - go to that cauldron there." He shouted at us. He was pointing at the amortentia. We quickly hurried over.
"Miss Black, what do you smell?" He was planning on humiliating me.
"I smell pine, campfires, honey, and fireworks." I said calmly , smiling at Snape. I wasn't going to let him win. He simply turned to Fred.
"And you Mr Weasley?"
"I smell cookies, honeysuckle and daisies sir." Fred replied, and he smiled a bit, before walking back to our table with me.
No one knew why Snape would do that as a punishment - but it was to personally embarrass ourselves without anyone else knowing what it meant to us.
Once class was over, I quickly rushed out towards the library. We were let out late, and I promised Cho I'd help her with our DADA project. I didn't see Fred look stressed and pull Lee aside to tell him that he was worried I'd solved his secret, or that Pucey was right behind Fred, and had heard every word.

Dungeon Scholar
Girl meets dungeon. What could go right? A story of a good-hearted Scholar driven by her compassion and curiosity. She might be a little combat averse, but um, isn't that only logical? Love me a good grimdark, but sometimes I want to read feel-good fiction that isn't pure action, romance, or comedy. The plot and characters of Dungeon Scholar won't be all happy and fluffy, and the world will be more dungeons and monsters than rainbows and puppies, but overall the sweet moments should overshadow the bitter. Let's say three dollops of sugar for every pinch of salt, with lemon slices left on the saucers? Enjoy. Note: This is NOT a typical dungeon story. If you are here for the dungeon aspect, then fair warning this will seem incredibly slow-burn to you. The dungeon will eventually become the most important 'character,' arguably, or the second-most important narratively, but you might jump out the window in frustration long before that happens. At its heart, the story's core remains 'girl meets dungeon,' not 'dungeon meets world.' (To be clear, this does or will have a plot! It's just the more conventional story-like elements contribute to Rowena Loress's greater story, not the other way around; no conflict takes center stage until it becomes personally significant to her. Meanwhile, have some Slice of Life.) Updates every Friday Cover made using Waifulabs Written using 4thewords (referral code: UZJRY55368)

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
