That night, Tina dreamt. Only her dream was something that happened a long time ago, in a little corner of Illvermorny.
"Queenie, aren't you like . . an orphan?"
Queenie Goldstein turned to face a student, who was curious about her. She was blonde and wore a long royal blue cloak as opposed to Illvermorny's uniform.
"I guess" Queenie said.
"I mean, I've heard that orphans think differently and they're troubled by their past" the girl hardly felt sorry, "And I was wondering if you're going to be that way, in Pukwudgie".
"I won't" Queenie answered.
"How do you feel?" The girl sat next to her, "Losing your parents to dragon pox? I feel extremely sorry, but like, I bet that's the natural order of things, eh?"
"What?"
"Some fabulous people like me are affected the most. Seeing sadness in orphans makes my life sad. Why don't you stay away from me?" The girl said.
"Why are you talking to me, then?" Queenie hit back.
"Leave her alone" a commanding voice ordered.
Both the girls turned to face the elder Goldstein sister, armed with her wand.
"Oh, Tina" the girl said, "I'm Agatha".
"Get out of my sister's way or I'll kill you" Tina said.
"Woah, orphans. . you guys are. . "
"Just because we're orphans, that doesn't mean that you can treat us differently! We are people too! People who've lost others" Tina's voice turned serious, "I bet you'll cry your lungs out if you're an orphan!".
"Jeez, I wish to share the same burden" Agatha said, sarcastically.
"Just. . get out of here! Leave my sister alone!" Tina snapped, "You're just jealous that my sister's got angelic looks and you'd have to use that darned cosmetic stuff to look like that!"
"You're never going to get loved if you act that way" Agatha left.

Queenie stood up and hugged her sister. Being a new kid at Illvermorny and not experienced the natural school instances made her feel insecure.
"Is this what bullying feels like?" Queenie said.
"I'll kill her if she picks on you again" Tina said, "Believe me, I'm ready to go to prison. But I'll at least know that you're safe".
"Teenie, you're the best" Queenie said.
"Don't you ever doubt your abilities" Tina reminded Queenie of one of her mother's inspirational quotes, "We'll get through this, I promise".
Meanwhile Theseus had a hard time contemplating what Tina had said a few hours ago about what might happen if he and Newt had a strife.
But then, there was one memory that kept him going. One memory that told him, "Fight for him, Theseus!"
Newt was hopeless. He sat near the banks of the river, feeding bits of food to the Giant Squid in the lake.
Everything seemed shattered. Leta left him. Newt was expelled. There was only so much Albus Dumbledore could do and thereby, he was allowed to keep his wand .
"Hey, Newt" a voice said. Newt turned to look at his brother.
Theseus was twenty five that time. He was recruited into the Ministry of Magic, right after the completion of his training.
"You came?" Newt said.
"Anything for you" Theseus replied, "Though they were angry at me for skipping work for a few hours".
"You shouldn't worry about me" Newt said.
"Newt, you are going through a tough time when Mum and Dad aren't supporting you" Theseus reminded him, "You have me".
"Mum trusts me. Dad doesn't" Newt said, "He always pinned me as a rule breaking, creature loving freak".
"Don't say that. Dad loves you very much" Theseus said.
"He doesn't understand my passion for magizoology, like Mum does" Newt complained, "He wants me to join the "Ministry family" and would be disappointed if I'm a . . bit different".

"Did he actually use the words "Ministry family"?" Theseus said.
Newt chuckled, "At least I'll have sometime off from school. I hated school".
"I thought you liked Professor Kettleburn. He was your Care of Magical Creatures teacher, wasn't he?" Theseus asked.
"He joined Hogwarts last year. Bit weird, but I loved him" Newt reminisced.
"What about Leta?"
"Don't ask me about her" Newt snapped, "It's done and done but I'll always love her".
"But what if you find someone better than her?" Theseus asked.
"We'll cross that bridge when we see it" Newt answered, vaguely.
"Well here are the documents. You need to sign them to agree that you're officially expelled" Theseus pulled out a bunch of papers.
"I thought they didn't require a consent from the student" Newt said.
"Now they do. With the problems increasing between the non magic community and the wizarding world, we need all the youth with magical blood more than ever" Theseus said, "And only a few students are expelled each year".
"That still doesn't answer my question" Newt said.
"Never mind me or the explanation" Theseus said, "Your Hearing is done and the Minister implores you to sign this form and agree that you wouldn't go rogue with the privilege of having your wand".
"Maybe I would" Newt smiled.
After Newt had gotten through the papers, Theseus folded them back and slipped it into his pocket.
"It would be fine, I promise. Expelled students turn out to be better than sucked up graduates" Theseus cheered him up, "You'll be fine. Hug?"
"Alright" Newt gave up fighting against the dreaded hug. Theseus pulled his brother into a hug, patting him slightly on the head.
"Everything will be fine" Theseus comforted.
As more and more Theseus and Tina thought about their respective siblings, they knew that they would have to do everything and anything to protect them.
After all, what were they for?

The Unnoticed Dungeon
A newly formed dungeon core awakes with no memory of who or what he was. In fact, he just found out that he died. He has no idea or when or how he came to pass, and now finds himself being forced to start all over as a dungeon core. Worse yet, he isn't even your average run of the mill dungeon. No, the Overseers, whoever they are, have designated him to be an experimental core. This means he doesn't have to play by all the rules, the bad news is that if the core oversteps his boundaries as a dungeon core too far he's more than dead; he's erased. Now he has to struggle to figure out what kind of dungeon he wants to be, all the while very aware that he can't play it safe. The overseers don't want safe, they want lines redrawn and limits reset. The question is, can he do it and survive? He asks, because he overstepped before he even made it to his new world.

8 93The Tentacle of Fate
The tale of the Human Empire, the Demon Empire, and the Alliance of Beastmen is a tale as old as time itself. It was a tale of war, of love, of hatred -especial of the racial variety- and it was a tale that the races scattered across the globe thought would never end until a single species would reign supreme. Yet at times it seems that truth is stranger than fiction, they never expected the world would be united in the most unexpected of ways...
