《HP The Birth Of Darkness》Chapter 21
Advertisement
[10 AM September 1, 1935]
I finally got to kings cross station
Alexander was at the station entrance with a small carry-on suitcase
"I must thank Jack for showing me the place, without a doubt he is a good man, I hope that fate does not make us have to face each other, it would be sad to have to kill him," Alexander thought as he entered the train station "
"There are enough people around here"
As he walked looking for platform 9 and 10, everything he saw seemed normal, he saw no signs of wizards or children
as he walked along with the station platform, he looked at the numbering
platform 5 and 6
platform 7 and 8
This is the one I'm looking for, between platform 9 and 10 is platform 9¾ '
"According to Jack, the entrance is on the face of the wall that is on the side of the main entrance, I just have to walk through it and go through"
It seemed kind of strange, I wonder what kind of spell they used so that no Muggle noticed in all these years
Gently I approach the brick wall and at a gentle pace but without stopping I cross the wall
as I go through I can see how what looked like a brick wall was just an illusion, I crossed smoothly, as if passing through a cloud
on the other side, the scene that awaited me was totally different from the Muggle station
There was a fairly large Red train, I can see that there are many young people, the smallest are usually accompanied by their parents or by an adult wizard
something that caused me curiosity is that most of them bring all their suitcases to the train, it seems that paying to take your school supplies to school is a redundant or excessive expense for many wizard families

Watching the scene where children say goodbye to their parents makes me want to smoke a cigarette.
one of the hobbies I've had this last month and a half is smoking some cigarettes and drinking a good glass of whiskey
thanks to friend Tom from Leaky Cauldron, I had some trouble convincing him that they weren't for me
although I still suspect that he firmly believes that it is for my consumption
but I think that he doesn't care what I do with it, as long as I pay him
It is not a very healthy habit, even when I am a child, but what does it matter, this is a world of magic, if a health problem happens, I will surely be able to solve it in the future
I will be surprised if Nicolas Flamel can live more than 600 years and I cannot solve the problems derived from drinking alcohol and smoking
I was also able to verify that drinking alcohol has a positive influence when doing my meditations
I am delighted that that was the case, I had not had a drink of liquor in many years.
as I get on the train and look for a place to sit, I found a cabin with two children, I decided to go into that
After opening the sliding door, I introduce myself "good morning, my name is Alexander Gaunt, if it's not too much trouble I'd like to sit here"
Both children look at me and one of them replies "sure, sit down"
So I quickly detail them, because it seems that my train companions are quite curious
as I sit down, the same young man who had just spoken introduced himself "Hello, my name is Filius Flitwick and he is Mundungus Fletcher, we are both freshmen"
As I listen to Filius introduce himself I can't help but compare him to the Gringotts bank goblins, he's really little,

It seems that while thinking about it Filius realized, while giving me a rather serious look he said "I'm a Half-blood, I have goblin blood in my veins"
"How interesting, I don't think it's very common to see a young wizard with goblin blood" I replied while giving a small smile
It seems that it was not the answer that Filus expected, surely he is subject to discrimination
About the other boy, Mundungus, he seems quite shy because he does not speak, although I can see something in his eyes, something different
"I am also a freshman, I hope we get along very well and succeed this year," I told them both
then I closed my eyes
while resting I thought about what the future held for me
this last month and a half I continued with my training, meditation every day, and many hours of reading
I've been preoccupied with the issue of visions since that time I almost died, but I didn't have any again at this time.
it should probably be one of my priorities, researching all about divination and visions
I'm sure the library has books on these topics

8 154Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.

8 139Spike Hellsing Autobiography: The Chosen
The path to becoming a God is not a simple one, and if you're stranded in a universe with no connection to the Multi-Verse, your options are limited.Spike Hellsing, Half-Elf, Vampire, Samurai, Mercenary; Chosen by the Demi-God: Fate, to assist in her ascension and restore balance to the universe she created, known as "Infinity". Spike's first task is to join forces with the rest of The Chosen against the destructive entity: Chaos, but Spike and The Chosen are far from "ready to fight demi-god" status.The recollections of a pen and paper roleplaying game from the viewpoint of a single character within it's universe. Everything that takes place in the book was decided by dice and random numbers so that means all the epic shit that takes place had a realistic chance to blow up in my/our face(s), making this entire book that much more awesome. With that said Spike is known to indulge himself, and may have left out embarrassing moments or "bent the truth" to make himself seem more cool, but hey, that's role playing for you, deal with it and enjoy!
