The following day she went to see Madam Pomfrey early in the morning. She told Rue she would see her at the dining hall. She did her regular check-up making sure the baby is healthy. Irena got a new ultrasound. She could see the baby better; it wasn't just a little oval anymore.
"You see this," Madam Pomfrey said, pointing at the left side, "this is your baby's little head and this" she moved her finger to the right "this is the baby's body." Her baby was slowly forming. She was happy and had the biggest smile on her face. She was still scared, but now she was also excited.
Before she left the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey taught her how to use the charm that could hide her bump. It wouldn't hurt the baby, and it wasn't painful to her.
She entered the dining hall and saw that Rue was already there. She took a seat, and Rue looked at her "did you get a new one?" she whispered and looked around, making sure no one was near. "Yes, and don't do that; you will draw attention to us." "Let me see," she said excitedly. More people were coming in and sitting around them. "Later," said Irena, adding food to her plate.
They were walking down the corridor "so when are you going to tell him." "Soon" "That's what you said a few days ago." "Ugh, Rue, I know I just- I haven't seen him around lately." It was true she only saw him during class, and that wasn't an ideal place to tell him he was going to be a father.
"Just go up to him and be like, hey guess what, you are the father," she said, pointing at a random student that was walking. "Not doing that." She rolled her eyes "fine, what about you point at your stomach and tell him what are you going to name it." "Absolutely not," Irena said, crossing her arms over her chest. "You're no fun; you know that right." Now it was Irenas turn to roll her eyes. "I'll just find time to get him alone and tell him." "Boorriiingg," said Rue, "I like my idea better." "Well when you are expecting, you get to decide how you will tell him." "I guess. Well, got to go see you two later." Rue winked at Irena and left.

Irena saw Fred and George talking to a few students trying to sell some of their products. That was her time; she should just go up to him and tell him to meet her later today. Easier said than done. She froze, and she couldnt move, just go up to him, she thought.
They were leaving, and she didn't realize, but she started to walk she was getting closer to them. They continue walking, not realizing that she was not too far behind. They were getting away. She didn't know what came over her, "Frederick!" her eyes widened.
It seems to work because Fred and George stopped and turned around, looking for who that voice belonged to. Fred knew that it was Irena; he just needed to find her.
She continued walking and stopped in front of Fred George beside him. "Fred, could you meet me tonight at 9 in the Astronomy Tower." Fred looked at her. He was going to make a joke, but he noticed the seriousness in her tone. "I'll be there," he said with a small smile on his face. She nodded and left. As she was walking, she was finally able to breathe properly. Tonight she was going to tell him.

A Soul's Wish
Hey everyone! Just a heads up. I am adding the Traumatising content tag because some parts might be considered as, well, traumatising. I want to point out though, it is not my aim to make a story that focuses on this aspect. Yuki is a college freshman that has been pulled into a fantasy world full of magic and monsters. Without any special talents, at level one, and with only a mere wisp as a companion he will need to figure out how to survive in the hostile environment. As he grows stronger and travels across this new world, he will find friends, make enemies, learn betrayal, overcome obstacles and grow into a hero. Hopefully. His goal? To save a princess, of course. A classic adventure fantasy story set in another world. Cover by the lovely Sara Lucasi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saralucasi/
8 137Airi in a Thousand Worlds
Normies reincarnating into a villain or villainess, NEETs reincarnating into monsters, Normies and NEETs reincarnating into the undead, hero or inanimate object, etc etc... we've seen them all. But have you seen a goddess reincarnate into cannon fodder?! Of course! Not! Follow Airi (or her clones), a goddess of Karma, in her adventures of pushing up the hero/heroine with her blood (literally), sweat (literally?), and tears (literally)!
8 141Call of The Dragons
In a continent called Hiphon, it sits separated from the rest of the world, reality slowly surrendering to fictional forces, be it creatures not found on the other continents or people coming down with a case of magical powers, fiction meshes with reality almost fruitlessly. However, even in this world there are creatures that are an unknown. One of those creatures, being the almighty dragon, told only through children's books and fairy tails. Oculus has found a dragon. In a cave outside his village, in a mystical part of Hiphon known as the Exxen Rings, he finds a crimson dragon resting in the deepest part of the cave. Oculus asks for the dragons power, but it swiftly denies that wish. It isn't until years later when a mysterious carriage popped out of nowhere with an interesting guest that he finds an opportunity to gain that power. The dragon will grant his power for one last request. Oculus will have to prove that there is more dragons living in the world. Will Oculus be able to find a dragon with the help of his new friend, or will he come up with nothing, leaving the dragon to die a lonely death?
8 154Shoot on sight
Zone has no owner, it has its rules It shows no mercy, to both wise and fools. It has no God, it gives no hope It gives to kind, last rites and rope. It’s a Hell on Earth where demons thrive But people kill, to get inside. People kill, to leave this place People die, for a chance to stay. For those, outside, they dream of horrors We live inside, horrific borders. We live, we thrive, just like those demons. Here, our lives, they have a meaning. Zone has no God, it has no Devil But it has us and its enough We are in Hell or maybe Heaven Gates are here, in front of us. The Zone has many rules and none of them would make much sense to you, living on the Outside. For example here, you would never hear, “I’m sorry for your loss”. Only silence would be the answer. The most empathetic action you would receive, is an open flask and a nod. People here don’t expect to live long and happy lives and even the most optimistic person at most, would hope to die inside of a blender. It's the most painless and quickest way to die in The Zone, and the cleanest. Your body would be torn apart in a second by countless gravitational pulls, all centered on you, leaving nothing but a red circle outside of its perimeter.
8 68The Devourer
To devour is to swallow ravenously or to consume destructively. To take in greedily and to absorb everything. Alaric dies in a traffic accident and finds himself in a mysterious forest with a game like screen in front of him. On the screen there was a message. [Welcome to my World] [You can do anything with my powers on the condition that you do the Main Quest]

On the far side of the last river, where the waves lap against the cruel cliffs of Eda, there are worse things than passing in your sleep. Sabar must survive. To survive this strange hell, and walk between the dreams, he must become something else. If he does it - if he returns with a taste of the dream - he will turn the world upside down all over again
