《The Boy Who Protected The One He Loves》5
Advertisement
Some days later I sit at the breakfast table with the Weasleys, pricking with my fork in my eggs and bacon. My ring was already a couple of days cobalt blue.
Draco felt miserable, and I guess that was because I wasn't around.
But that also effected my emotions. I felt miserable because Draco felt miserable about me. Does that make sense? I guess it does.
"Hermione, are you alright," Mrs Weasley asks, squeezing my hand. It kinda reminded me of when Draco does it, but less stronger and less soft. Yes, those two can stand together.
"Yes, I am just a bit dizzy and I've just thrown up. Don't worry, I've cleaned it." "Hermione, maybe you should tell," Ginny says from opposite me. I sit in the middle of Fred and George and they both stare at me.
"Tell what Ginny?" "About.. him," Ginny asks, obviously meaning that I should tell about Draco.
"Okay then.. Listen Weasleys, because I will say this one time. As you all know, I'm pregnant. The father of that child is... Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend of one and a half year."
And there you had it: chaos.
Everyone begins to scream and yell while I take a sip from my orange juice. Ginny smirks at me and I return it, as I learned from Draco how to. Over their screams Ginny asks me something.
"What do you think it is? A boy or a girl?" "I honestly have some idea it will be a boy," I grin. "Oh Merlin, another Malfoy boy. I thought the world had faced enough of those," Ginny sighs playfully.
I burst out in laughter and the screams stop, everyone look at me as if I'm crazy.
"How can you laugh when you're pregnant with a Malfoy,' scowls Ron at me. "Because I am happy with my boyfriend, my fiancé, and my Malfoy child in my womb," I say to him with a sneer.

Ron looks as if that was impossible.
"Hey Hermione, if that child is born and looks like Malfoy, can we dye his or her hair brown for you," Fred asks and his brother George nods eagerly.
"Sorry boys, but none of you touches my child with such intentions," I reply to them with a laugh on my face.
My ring turns a new color. Hmph, what was brown? I grab the sheet with codes on it and search for brown.
"What is that for ring Hermione," Bill asks from across the table. "It is my engagement ring. Draco gave it to me and it shows me his emotions. Hey George, do you see brown on this one?"
"Yes.. yeah, here it is: 'Brown means disgust and hatred'. Probably sees or does something he hates." I giggle behind my fist.
"What is so funny about that," Harry asks. "Because on this moment he probably sees Pansy Parkinson or something like that," I giggle some more. This was comical, you couldn't deny that.
In the evening we have the radio turned on and play boardgames with the whole family. I was paired up with Ginny, Mr Weasley with Mrs Weasley, Bill and Fleur, Harry and Ron, Fred and George and Charlie and Tonks(who had stepped by that evening). Percy was still gone, as he hates his family.
"YES, WE WON," I shriek at the end and Ginny and I high-fived. I was now officially 3 months and I was very happy with that. We fell off the couch and I watched out I didn't fell on my stomach.
Tonks said goodbye and left and we all drink a cup of choco before going off to bed. In that night I dream of Draco, Draco with a little toddler on his shoulders. They smile at me, they could nearly be twins.

Such a good dream.. but that was it, a dream.
Draco wasn't with me right now and in the futuring months he won't be. Probably not even at the birth, but we all knew why.
Harry and Ron wanted me to go on Horcrux hunt with them and I was nearly so far I wanted to go with them. It would be dangerous, but still... I had to help them defeat Voldemort.
Because when the war is over, Draco and I can finally be together. In peace. Raising our child.
Yes, that is my final dream..

Shadow Overseer
He never had a name. People had names, not lab rats. The reason for his existence was to further science and die somewhere along the way. "Subject Five" was what they called him. Under the name of science, they tormented him and derived a sick pleasure from his pain. His dark life had a single solace in the form of his brothers and sisters sharing the same fate. Helping them escape cost Five his life, but he was happy knowing he did something for himself. After waking up, he finds himself as the son of a noble in a marvelous world filled with magic. In his second chance at life, he vows to protect himself and his family from anything that threatens to destroy his peaceful life. Follow Five on his path to supremacy. ********** This is a LITRPG novel, with the system playing a crucial, but supporting role. It isn't omnipotent and has definite origins which I'll explain later in the story. Another important aspect is world-building and crafting. I'll go into quite a lot of detail on both of them.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
