《Camille Lupin the Unicorn》Ball Announcement
Advertisement
(1978: a month before the exams) Camille's POV
The school year has been hepatic. I've seen the birth of two witches and three wizards. As well as the death of someone. My dreams are getting worse with Voldemort raising to power. I've tried to focus on my exams and apprenticeship. But now people are starting to notice, especially when I quit the quidditch team. James, Sirius and the others understand. So Mason McGonagall became the head seeker, instead of back up. He's doing an amazing job too. We won the Quidditch cup last week.
Anyway there's a month before the exams and I was studying hard along with Lily & Remus. So I had less time to help my Care Magical Creatures teacher. But he understands and wished me luck in the exams. So it's Saturday morning and we (Lily, Remus and I) were up early studying in the library. We'd gone to the kitchens and ate early.
I was just reading about how to dual without speaking when Sirius appeared with the others. Meaning; Alice, Frank, James and Peter. "Guess what guys" Alice says sitting in between Lily and I.
"Can't talk, have to finish this herebology essay" Lily states.
"Stop working for one minute" James says snatching her book and she glares at him.
"There was a special announcement at breakfast" Frank states.
"Fine, talk quickly" Lily tells them.
"There's going to be a graduation ball for seventh years, younger students can come if an older student asks them. It's set for after the exams" Alice explains. "Frank's already asked me of course" she says smiling as Frank blushes.
"So Camille Hope Lupin, will you be my date to the ball?" Sirius asks me.
"Of course I will" I say pecking him on the lips.
"So Flower, will you be my date?" James asks Lily.

"On one condition" she states.
"And what's that?" he asks her.
"You give me back my book and leave me alone to study" she states.
"Ok, see you later" James says handing her the book stealing a kiss. "Come on Sirius, Frank, Peter let's got play some quidditch" he states. All four of them leave and we go back to studying.
(Later that day)
James had asked me to meet him in the restricted section of the library. So here I am wondering it alone. When someone pulls me into another corridor and room. Where I see the same mirror from all those years ago. Would I still see the same thing?
"Camille, can you hear me?" James asks waving a hand in front of me.
"Yeah I can, what's this about?" I ask him.
"You know I love Lily and want to spend the rest of my life with her" he states.
"You have since you first meet her" I tell him.
"Anyway, I'm planning on proposing to her and I think the ball is the best place to do it" he states. "But I need help finding the right ring and I thought you could help" he explains.
"Oh that's wonderful and of course I'll help you" I say smiling. "Frank is also going to propose to Alice, but not until we actually graduate" I tell him. "He asked for both mine and Lily's help with ideas. He already has the perfect ring apparently" I state.
"Awesome, that just leaves you and Sirius to get engaged. And Remus & Peter to actually get girlfriends" James states.
"I don't think Sirius and I are ready for that yet" I tell him. "Now, don't you have patrol tonight?" I ask him.
"Yeah I do, here use this to get back to the common room" he says handing me his invisibility cloak. He then left to start his patrol and I turn back to the mirror. I walk towards it and look into it. In it I see the same thing from all those years ago.

A man with dark brown hair, facial hair, grey eyes and his arm wrapped around a woman. She had golden brown hair, hazel green eyes, petite figure and was holding a baby. That is a perfect match between the two adults and was no doubt their child. Examining the man more closely as he smiles and I recognize Sirius' smile. The woman must be me and that means I was holding our baby. A family with Sirius, that was my deepest desire. I smile happily at the small family before putting the invisibility cloak on.
I leave the room and go to the common room. Once there I place James' cloak in the guys dorm. Then go to my room where a letter was waiting for me. It was signed by the headmaster, so it must be important.
I shrug and get ready for bed. Then crawl in beside a sleeping Axel. I fall asleep and have no nightmares or dreams of new witches/wizards being born.

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.
