《Camille Lupin the Unicorn》Day 1 of Classes
Advertisement
Camille's POV
Transfiguration was amazing do doubt it'll be one of my favourite subjects. Along with Defense Against the Dark Arts that both Remus and I liked. We are now in potions and I was paired with Sirius while Remus was paired with James. As when we started brewing our first potion James and Sirius blew up their cauldron working together. So Professor Slughorn swapped Sirius for Remus and Sirius hardly helped. All he did was talk about himself while I brewed the potion.
"Has anyone told you, you're amazing at potions?" Sirius asked as I left the potion to simmer for ten minutes. There is only twenty minutes left of class then we were going for our first flying lesson with Madame Hooch. But it was going to be a long twenty minutes.
"Yes my father does now can you do me a favor?" I ask.
"Anything for a pretty witch" he states smirking and I roll my eyes.
"Be quiet while I read and we wait for the potion to be ready" I tell him.
"If your going to read, then how am I suppose to pass the time?" he pouts.
"Read a book" I tell him as I start to read my own. Then I feel him leaning over my shoulder to read my book. "Want are you doing?" I ask annoyed.
"Reading?" he states and I feel his breath on my neck.
"You have your books you can read, why read mine?" I ask.
"It's a muggle book, I've never read one before" he states. "What's it about?" he asks.
"It's called the Hunger Games and it is one of my favourite trilogies" I state. "It has death, action, romance, friendship, family and adventure" I explain.
"Sounds good, do you mind me reading it with you?" Sirius asks.

"Later, right now the potion needs checking" I state putting the book down. After steering the potion one last time I placed some of it into two separate flasks. "Here you go, let's go show Professor Slughorn" I tell Sirius giving him a flask.
"It's perfect Miss Lupin and Mr Black, you two may leave now if you wish" Slughorn tells us.
"Thanks Professor, but I wish to wait for my brother" I tell him.
"Understandable, why don't you both go make sure he and Mr Potter are fine" he suggests.
"Excellent idea sir" I say smiling. We got back to our desk and I made the potion disappear. "Since I brewed the potion, you can do the cleaning" I tell Sirius before heading over to Remus and James. I heard Sirius grumbling behind me as he gathered the unused ingredients.
"Hey Camille where's Sirius?" James asks as I reach their table.
"Cleaning, how's the potion here Remus?" I ask.
"I don't know want they did, but we had to start again from scratch. It won't be ready until ten minutes after class" Remus explains. "I informed Professor Slughorn and he said we could leave when it's time for it to simmer" he states. I nod my head and Sirius finally joins us as the bell goes. James set the potion on simmer which Remus checked then we left class together after informing Slughorn of the now simmering potion.
(Flying lesson)
"Up" I said with the other students and my broom flew gracefully into my hand. While James and Sirius' shot into their hands. Remus' rose on his second attempt while Peter's whacked him in the face. We all chuckled, giggled and laughed at this. Madame Hooch told us to be quiet then told us how to mount our brooms.

I mounted mine and she told us to kick off the ground. Then to hoover for a moment before touching back down. But James and Sirius did not do that. They soared into the sky and did circles around the class. "Come back down this instant" Madame Hooch states.
They touched down and got pats on the backs from our fellow Gryffindors. "You two are talented with a broom, but now more fooling around" she tells them. "Class dismissed please leave the brooms if one is missing. The one who took it will be out of this school, before they can say Quidditch" she tells us.
We left our brooms and returned to Gryffindor tower as there was still an hour before dinner. It was an amazing day and Remus & I received 65 points for Gryffindor. While James and Sirius lost our house 20 points from dropping a dung-bomb in a bathroom. They still haven't told us how they smuggled it into school, only that it was James'. Something tells me we are all going to be good friends.

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.

8 94Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
