《Camille Lupin the Unicorn》Telling Her Parents
Advertisement
Camille's POV
"So what will you be doing today?" I ask Sirius as we enjoy lunch. All Charms exams are over and I'll be leaving shortly for my parents house. To tell them about baby and Sirius. Speaking of the baby, I am now 23 weeks pregnant.
"Exploring the forest, maybe take a walk around the lake" he says.
"So have you finally given up about our daughter's name?" I ask him.
"No, but I came up with a new one. One that I think you'll love" he states.
"Do tell" I say.
"You always called her 'little star', the name I choose means that and 'dawn'" he explains.
"What's the name?" I ask curious.
"Roxana" he answers.
"Roxana Lily Hope Black" I say testing the name. "I like" I say smiling at him. He smiles back and kisses me gently. "Our daughter has her name" I state.
"She does" I say smiling brightly. I hug him. "I have to go" I state.
"Be careful" he tells me.
"We'll be fine" I assure him. "You just keep a low profile" I tell him. He nods his head and I kiss him. I then apparate to my parents home. I walked to the door and knocked. Mum answers it and hugs me.
"Your preg..." she starts to say.
"Shush, I'll explain everything. Inside" I tell her. She nods her head and pulls me into the house. We go to the living room where dad is reading the Prophet. "Hi dad" I say.
"Hi my darling daughter" he says and hugs me. "Have you put on weight?" he asks.
"I sure hope so, being pregnant and all" I tell him.
"We're having a grand baby" mum says with a smile.
"A granddaughter" I tell her with a smile. "Roxana Lily Hope Black" I say.

"Black?" dad asks.
"Allow me to explain, please don't interrupt" I tell them. We all sit down and I explain everything. About what happened all those years ago, my reunion with Sirius, how we've been married all this time and how Peter Pettigrew is alive pretending to be a rat.
"Sirius is innocent" mum says with a smile. "Oh I'm so happy for you both" she tells me.
"But how will you prove it?" dad asks me.
"We'll capture Peter, take him to Dumbledore and he'd help clear Sirius' name. We'd finally be able to live the life we always dreamed of having. Have a real wedding" I say with a smile.
"We'll help too" mum tells me.
"I have some old friends at the ministry that owe me favours" dad adds.
"It's ok, let us handle it. I want you both to think about your future granddaughter" I tell them.
"We also need to think about your wedding" mum tells me.
"Speaking of, will you walk me down the aisle dad?" I ask.
"Of course I will" he states.
"Do you want to do it before or after Roxana is born?" mum asks.
"After, I'm already 23 weeks. I was thinking next spring or early summer" I tell her.
"That gives us about a year to plan" she states.
"We'll start to research" dad tells me.
"But we'll want to see Sirius" mum adds.
"Of course, we'll visit with Remus this summer" I tell them.
"Excellent" dad says.
"We have to take you to a doctor" mum states.
"What? Why?" I ask her.
"I want an ultrasound photo of my granddaughter" she states. "I'll call Marie, see if she can get us in today" she adds. Before leaving the room.
"How do you feel about being a mother?" dad asks me.

"I'd feel happier if Sirius was free and we could be together in public" I tell him.
"He will be free" he assures me. Mum reappears.
"Marie can fit us in now, lets go" she tells me.
"You girls go ahead" dad tells us. We left and sh drove us to the clinic. We signed in and were soon called.
"I didn't think I'd live to see this day" she says smiling.
"Oh come now, you're younger then me" mum tells her.
"Have you been to a doctor?" Marie asks me.
"Yes, in Scotland. It's where I work" I state.
"Well lets perform an ultrasound" she tells me. I nod and lay on the bed. Lifting my shirt to reveal my 23 week old pregnant belly. "How far along are you?" she asks me.
"23 weeks" I tell her. She nods her head and performs the ultrasound. It was amazing seeing my baby on the screen. I had her print many photos. I thanked her and mum paid for the appointment. Before we went home. Where I start to help her make dinner. When I have a vision.
"What is it?" mum asks me.
"What did you see?" dad asks.
"Sirius is in danger" I state and go to leave. But dad blocks my path. "Dad, move aside" I tell him.
"I can't let you risk your life and that of your daughter" he tells me.
"My husband is going to face a hundred dementors with Harry. While seriously hurt, I have to go help him" I tell him.
"Sirius would not want you risking your life or the baby's" mum tells me.
"Why does it happen?" dad asks me. I focus on the vision and the moons position in it.
"Tonight, around eight" I state.
"It's only five thirty now, lets enjoy dinner" mum tells me.
"But..." I try to protest.
"Stress is not good for the baby" she tells me. "Relax, enjoy dinner with us and think carefully about what you have to do. Don't run blindly into danger" she tells me. I agree reluctantly and we get back to making dinner. While I think about my vision and how I can help Sirius & Harry.

Conquest of Avalon
Revenge. The Kingdom of Avalon swept across the Empire of the Fox a generation past, conquering the heartlands and leaving the broken remnants to stew in the island duchy of Guerron. This isn't a story of Good versus Evil, of kindly kings doing their best to lift all subjects, or of unvarnished heroes doing battle against evil. Instead, this story is about power: who has it, who wants it, and what people will do to obtain it. It is about the violence inherent in the imperial project and how even the most well-intentioned rulers and conquerors are, still, engaging in systemic violence against those conquered and defeated. Our three point-of-view characters are a peasant turned fire wizard, an excitable duelist with more enthusiasm than sense, and a scheming mage-priestess bent on reclaiming her family's birthright and waging war on the foreign oppressors who rule her home... no matter the cost in blood or treasure.

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!
