《Camille Lupin the Unicorn》School Shopping
Advertisement
Camille's POV
"You got our vault key Cami?" Remus asks as he enters my room. We were going school shopping today then going over to James' for dinner. Remus actually told me we'd met the others in Diagon Alley. I'm just glad my robes from last year still fit me, so I don't have to go to Madame Malkin's with a bunch of boys.
"Yes I do" I say showing it to him before putting it in my inside jacket pocket. Dad was going to drop us off at the Leaky Cauldron on the way to the ministry. While Mum was at work already. "You have our supply lists?" I ask him.
"Right here" he states handing them to me and I place them in my bag. "Let's go Cami" he says and I follow him downstairs. Dad asked if we were ready and had everything as he met us at the front door.
"Yes, oh one second" I say raising a finger. "Axel" I call upstairs and the ferret runs down towards us. He climbs up onto my shoulder and I give him a pat. "Now we have everything" I tell them and they chuckle. We get into a taxi and it drives us to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Ok, behave and we expect you home at ten thirty the latest" Dad reminds us. We nod our heads and enter the pub. Remus leads us strait through to the back and takes out his wand tapping the wall three times. I then lead him to Gringotts so we could get some money from our family vault, vault 722.
"Remus and I wish to enter our families vault" I state when we reach Gringotts. We were at the front reception desk.
"Do Miss and Mr Lupin have their key?" the goblin asks. I held it out to him and he took it. "Very well, I'll have some escort you down" he states handing the key back to me. The other goblin appeared and took us down where we filled both our small money bags. I thanked the goblin when we were back on ground level before Remus and I left.

"Ok first two stops the joke shop and Quality Quidditch Supplies" I state. Remus grumbles, but doesn't object when I say "then I'll buy you a copy of Hogwarts A History."
"Deal" he states smiling and we enter Gambol & Japes Wizarding Joke Shop. I got some prank supplies and a book on old wizarding pranks. We then went to Quality Quidditch Supplies so I could get myself a broomstick.
"Remus, Camille" James and Sirius call as we enter the store.
"Hey you two" I smile hugging them both.
"We got you a super early birthday present" James says smiling as Sirius holds out a package to me.
"My birthday isn't until March" I remind them confused.
"We know, but you'll need this if you are going to try out for the Quidditch team with us" Sirius explains.
"You didn't" I say in awe looking at the package.
"We did, go on open it" James and Sirius state. I do so to see they got me one of the best racing brooms around. A Nimbus 1700 with my name engraved in it.
"This means a lot to me guys thank you so much" I say hugging them both.
"Be sure to practice with it before try outs" James tells me. "You could start tonight before dinner" he suggests.
"Sure, but I get Sirius on my team" I tell him.
"No far, I was about to see the same thing" James states pouting. "Now I have to choose between Peter and Remus. No offense Remus, but neither of you are that good at flying" James states holding his hands up.
"We'll be even then as Sirius can't fly with one hand" I tell him.
"I'll have you know I've been practicing" Sirius states. "Now where to next?" he asks after buying a beaters bat. Yeah he was trying out for beater, while James and I were trying out for Chaser.
"Book store" Remus states and the other two groan. I giggle as I jump on James' back and he carry's me to the store. I then spotted Lily talking to Alice and jumped then before running over to them.

"I missed you guys" I told them as I pull away from our group hug.
"You saw me last week" Lily reminds me.
"You said you had a family problem" Sirius states as he appears at my side.
"I'll see you two on the train" I tell the girls and they leave. "I already had plans with Lily before you or James owled me" I state facing Sirius. "I didn't tell you because I knew James likes her and would ask me to ask her about how she feels about him. No offense to you, but you can't keep a secret from James" I explain.
"I understand, just wish you trusted me" he states giving me a hug. I give him a smile then make him carry both our books along with the one I was getting Remus. "Want am I? A trolley?" he asks.
"No just a good friend and gentleman" I state smiling as we head back downstairs. I paid for my books and he paid for his. "I don't see the others" I tell him as I look around. Axel had fallen asleep in my hoodie awhile ago. So I couldn't have him go find Remus and the others.
"Why don't we get an ice-cream then go to the Apothecary" Sirius suggests.
"Sure, why not" I say and we leave the store together. "I just hope Remus doesn't ruin my new broom" I state.
"I'd be worried if Peter had it" Sirius states and we laugh together. That's the thing about Sirius, he can always make me laugh. But is still a major flirt only with me though, which is weird. "You know my brother is starting this year" he tells me as we wait for our ice-cream.
"I didn't know you had a brother" I state.
"We used to be real close, until I started school and was sorted into Gryffindor" he explains.
"I noticed everyone seemed surprised that you were Gryffindor, why is that?" I ask.
"Everyone in my family has been in Slytherin for centuries" he states.
"So you're the black sheep in your family" I say trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah, guess I am" he chuckles. My choc-chip and his honeycomb ice-cream arrives. "You know this is the first time we've been alone" he states casually. I think about it and nod my head in agreement. "So tell me about yourself" he states.
"Can you keep a secret?" I ask him and he nods his head. "There's something about me no else knows, except for my family and probably Mister Ollivander" I tell him. "I can't tell you here, but I'll tell you when we reach James'" I assure.
"I can wait" he states and we finish our ice-cream. Then head to the Apothecary where we found the other two with Peter. We all finished our shopping and went to the floo network fire place. "This is simple, all you have to do is grab some powder and through it into the fire saying your destination" Sirius explains to Remus & I.
"Potter manor" James states demonstrating as he disappears in green flames. I grabbed my broom and supplies to go next. I sent Remus a wink and smiled at Sirius and Peter.
"Potter manor!" I shout and I was swallowed by green flames.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?

Then, we the modern people could simply use some sort of mini-sized black hole with specific coordinate to force this hidden life-form come to this world. Fundamentally, we just needed to mimic the portal that Gods himself open to answer their offering. Allright, let's do this. Summer 2095 ADEverything is progressing as we wanted.Every trivial thing on our side seems to be working in order.We can commence the operation 'Child's Play' early next year.-LB-

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
