《Scars (Remus Lupin)》Siete
Advertisement
Remus sat near the fire in Gryffindor common room. He told Lilly and the boys his about his spat with Cassiopeia. None of the let her explain what actually happened.
After that, she went back to grimmauld place with her mother and father. Long story short, after a few curses and scars, they disowned her. She went straight to Andromeda's place.
Cassiopeia was now in the library, she was explaining everything to her friend Dorcas Meadowes, a Ravenclaw with great listening skills.
"They never let you explain?" She asked surprised. Cassiopeia shook her head. After that she was a mess, only Dorcas talked to her. The Black girl decided to leave the library and head to the common room.
"Hypogriff" the fat lady opened the door and that's were she spotted the marauders.
"Guys, I'm sorry, if you just let me explain" she tried for what it seemed like the hundredth time.
James stood up and before leaving her alone said "I thought you were different, but you're not". Tears threatened to spill out. But She won't let them.
Cassiopeia decided to go to the astronomy tower. She likes to look at the stars and the moon. She layes down staring at the sky when She heard footsteps.
"You shouldn't cry" it's Regulus.
"I'm not crying" he smiles as lays beside her.
Silence is everything She need. Silence and company maybe. Reggie understands, he always has.
"Come on big cousin, tell me what happened" and that's how the Black girl told Regulus everything, how She became aware that her young cousin is not that bad. They became friends. Then, he pulled out a bottle full of fire whiskey and began drinking their sorrows away.
🌙🌙🌙
It was 3:00 am, and Regulus was carrying a very drunk Cassiopeia back to the Gryffindor common room.

"Cass, what's the password?" He asked.
"A big big bird" she giggled. Regulus decided to talk to the fat lady.
"You need to let her in, please" he said
"You Slytherins think you can do anything, no password, no entrance" she huffed.
Then, the door swung open and Sirius saw his cousin and his brother sitting near the entrance of the common room.
"Regulus, I'll take her" he said, with a stern voice.
"Ok, be careful, she's drunk."
Sirius felt guilty. He was not there for his cousin when she needed him the most. Instead, Regulus showed her love and compassion, a Slytherin, better than a Gryffindor for the first time.
"What's wrong with her?" Asked Lilly. She was the one that woke Sirius because Cassiopeia hadn't been in the dorm all night.
"She's drunk"
"Lilly, I'm sorry, I know you hate me, but your sister called me freak first and... and I lost it... and said that but I didn't mean it. I just meant it for Petunia."
Lilly smiled. She felt bad for her friend. Lilly felt like she was a crappy friend and levitated her to the girls dorms.
"I forgive you, will you forgive me?"
But Cassiopeia Black was sound asleep. Passed out from all the drinking.

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 177Wishful Cultivation
First offered three wishes by a bizarre entity, Alex soon finds himself thrust into a grand world of mages, cultivators, and powerful demonic beasts. Follow our MC as he tries to find his way in a world of wonder and peril. What To expect: A generally rational MC, with some cheat abilities that still require him to grow to survive. I've got a rough idea where I want this story to go, but characters have a way of driving stories in directions you'd never expect. Writing is a fun pastime for me, and every once in a while I'm inspired to share what I put down on paper. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
8 120Just Don't Shoot the Quartermaster
Aliens are real! And monsters! But that's racist, don't call them that. And there's magic too! The life of humble, hard-working Carioca*¹² Rafael Barro is thrown into disarray when the interstellar Multi-Unity Alliance comes knocking. During the negotiations to take Earth in as a Protected Member-Planet for the glory of our AI overlords, the aliens ‘accidentally’ break the Veil that keeps the mythics protected from humanity’s knowledge, revealing the creatures of legend and myth that were hiding among us for millennia — from the doorman to global leaders. After a series of mishaps in his ever chaotic Brazil, our intrepid hero decides to join the Unity's Army, where he ends up as a inglorious… quartermaster. The Unity takes all recruits to make matters worse, including the mythics! And the cherry on the damn pie is Rafael Barro’s extra assignment: writing this historical first-hand report on the wonders of Earth’s diversity, the seamless adaptation of all its members, and on his gallant units’ first stellar expedition ever to defend another precious*³ world! Are we talking about the same planet? (Reader discretion is advised; Contains Graphic Language and Potentially Excessive Swearing) *¹ Carioca = demonym of someone from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. *² humble and/or hardworking Cariocas = not necessarily mythics, ordinary ones actually exist. *³ precious = inasmuch every living planet is precious. Editor's Note: Someone disable his permission to edit the draft on UnityDocs, please! Hello, I'm McKing and I aim to write an original story with elements I've never seen put together before. Feel free to point out any mistakes you see — I'm not a native speaker, so I'm sure a few will pass me by. Sci-fi; Humor; (Brazilian) Urban Fantasy; faint shades of LitRPG. **Be warned it has a bit of an (absurd) slice-of-life beginning though the story is being subtly (I hope) worked on and eventually shifts gears (a bit). I planned to say that from the beginning, but I forgot to add it.** I hope that you enjoy it and that I can grow as a writer with your contributions. No Fixed Update Schedule. My inspiration comes in bursts and so will the Chapters. Sorry if that displeases you (I love regular updates too), but I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Keep in mind that it is a work in progress and things can eventually change a bit - I'll try to always note the changes. Sorry for the bad cover, it was the best my sorry skills could do! I hope you enjoy it,Mcking
