Narrator's POV
Neville arrived first, holding a bag full of plants from "Noltie's Botanical Novelties," followed Bellatrix, and Rodolphus and Rabastan —both being crushed under bags from "Noltie's Botanical Novelties" and several unmarked bags most likely from Knockturn Alley.
After the LeStranges arrived, Hermione and Barty arrived, carrying bags from "Flourish and Blotts Bookseller" as well as several unmarked bags which Hadrian could only guess was from Knockturn Alley.
Next was the Lovegoods, who were carrying bags from "Twinkle's Telescopes" and "Praedico Predico" and several bags from Knockturn Alley.
And then came a trio that Hadrian didn't recognize, all three of them had pale blonde hair and the makes had blue eyes while the woman had brown.
"Hello, my lord." The trio recited to Tom
"Greetings." Tom said to them before turning to Hadrian "Love, this is Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy and their son, Draco."
"Hello." Hadrian greeted
***
After their introduction, the Malfoys separated: Draco to Hermione, Narcissa to Bellatrix, and Lucius to Barty.
"Love," Tom said to Hadrian "I've indulged myself today by spending time with you, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to return home and complete a few things."
"Ok then, I'll see you later." Hadrian said, as Tom kissed his forehead and left
***
After eating lunch, the group made their way to Twilfitt and Tattings.
The shop looked much nicer than Madam Malkin's, with its clearly more elegant robes, suits, dresses, and other clothing items.

But anyways, the men took Draco and Neville to choose clothing while the women took Luna, Hermione, and Hadrian.
***
Hadrian, Luna, and Hermione sat in chairs while Narcissa, Bellatrix and the shop attendant picked out dresses and other clothing.
Hermione went first, trying on dresses for both formal and casual wear in all different colors —though it was decided she looked best in darker colors.
Hermione also tried on clothing for casual wear: jeans, t-shirts, sweaters, skirts.
And then there were shoes: heels and flats for formal and casual attire as well as sneakers.
And lastly, Bella, Cissy, and the shop attendant helped her pick out undergarments: bras, underwear, tights, etc.
Once the attendant picked up the outfits that Hermione was going to purchase, Hermione said "Wait, what's that dress on that mannequin?"
Somewhat reluctantly, the shop assistant removed the dress she had been asked about and presented it to Hermione, who returned to the dressing room one last time.
The dress she had spotted was both Hadrian and Hermione's favorite by far: it was a black sleeved dress that had a collar and frills on it that stopped at Hermione's knees, the bottom was lined with lace: the top was covered with a blue, buttoned outer-corset.
"You look gorgeous, 'Mione." Luna said
"Thanks." Hermione sheepishly said
"You're going to make wittle Dracie's heart stop!" Bella giggled, clapping her hands and jumping up and down slightly
"Yes honey, it looks excellent on you." Cissy said "And if you adds some tights and those black ankle boots, you'll be set."
"And if your hair is curled." Bella added
"Thank you." Hermione thanked, blushing
***
The process repeated with Luna, who they decided looked better in lighter colors.
And the favorite dress was a sleeveless galaxy dress with a sweetheart neckline.

"That looks beautiful." Bella commented
"Yes, and with those black riding boots they'll be a set." Cissy added
"And if her hair is down, maybe curls on the bottom." Bella concluded
"And a necklace too, a silver one." The shop attendant added
Ooh ooh, this one!" Bella said, finding a necklace she liked
"I'll go ring up her purchase." The shop attendant said
***
Next, they chose different shirts, pants, some shoes, and a suit for Hadrian, but they couldn't find the perfect outfit for him.
"Do you see anything you like, honey?" Bella asked, upset that she couldn't find anything for her master's soulmate
Hadrian glanced around the shop, glancing last suits, shirts, and jumpers; looking for the outfit.
When suddenly, in the back of the shop, he saw a sleeveless black dress that had a black silk ribbon wrapped around the waist and a connecting black ribbon around the neck.
"I like that dress." Hadrian said nervously, pointing to it
"You want a dress?" The shop attendant asked, unsure but still went to get it
While she was gone Hadrian admitted "Uh, well, I'm androgynous. I found that out last year, you know, when my body didn't change its shape."
The four woman looked at Hadrian for a moment and saw what he meant: he had a hourglass like waist, feminine lips, and other features and from the way he looked, and if they didn't know better, they would assume he was a girl.
And also, Narcissa and Bellatrix knew that the Dark Lord referred to Hadrian as his 'Queen'.
***
So, after Hadrian tried on and looked gorgeous in that dress, with some black flats that had ribbon ties.
They found other dresses and things, they payed and left the shop.
After they sent Rodolphus, Rabastan, Barty, Xenophilius, and Lucius to take the shopping bags to their respective homes —of in Lucius' case dropping off Hadrian's clothes— they went to the Department of Mysteries to find out the prophecy involving Hadrian.
Since rules stated that anyone involved in a prophecy had the right to know what it said, Hadrian was taken to the Hall of Prophecy to learn it.
The Ministry Official with them opened the prophecy and they all heard it.
"The second paragraph is obviously about you, my Queen, but what does it mean 'play your part' it almost sounds unwillingly." Lucius pointed out
"I don't know, it might mean I'll accept my role or something. But from what it said, my two youngest siblings will join the cause and the other sister actually believes Dumbledore's crap." Hadrian answered
"The Dark Lord needs to hear this immediately." Barty muttered...

The Dragons Predicament
Monsters, humans, war. Within their shielded cities of Technomagi, the humans live their lives in small boxes. Only venturing out of their bubbles with gunslingers or mages trained to defend against the beasts outside. Teleportation to other cities is normal, done through square boxes on rails that are housed underground. These days, the disparity between humans and us has grown to a breaking point. In a single night: an entire nation of monsters vanished. A cloud and flash of light that all had seen. Only the strongest could survive against their might and stubborn ingenuity. Those terrifying, amazing humans. We had laughed at first. ‘What possible danger is there? They’re just humans’. That was centuries ago by this point, of course. We all realized the moment we saw that metal tube fall. There is something that only a human can accomplish, through their ability to see light even in the darkest situation. You don’t win against humans. You either die with them or live to serve them.

Voidsong (A NaNoWriMo 2018 winner)
Synopsys: The Empire thought humanity died, and forgot all about it. The Empire is mistaken. A Note From the Author: This story was written as a National Novel Writing Month 2018 entrant. As such, its entire 50,000+ word length was written between November 1, 2018 and November 31, 2018. Overall, I would consider this no more than a polished draft. In that vein, the chapters have no names, only numbers. Special thanks to Chronus on youtube for answering my questions on NATO radio procedures! My Apologies to the Finnish Language, which I have abused in (probably) unforgivable ways to create Twisted Empire names. If anyone is interested, break the names up by commas and toss them into your favorite translation program (I used Google Translate, and tried to avoid umlauts and other accents) for some semi bilingual boni. If I got something wrong (and I know I did… somewhere…) let me know over on reddit and I will see what I can do to fix the mistake. Lyrics, where included, are cited in footnotes.
