《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》VII. Dumbledore
Advertisement
"Headmaster Dumbledore would like you in his office." Snape monotonously says as I glance over at the professor.
*What does that fool want now?* Nyx asks as I shrug, nyx has taken a strong disliking towards dumbledore for whatever reason (and I can't say I disagree with her).
"Isn't that lovely." I remark distastefully before getting up, following snape out of common room.
He leads me to a statue of a gargoyle as he glances around before saying the password.
"Sherbet lemons." He says as I snicker, causing snape to glare at me.
"How sophisticated." I mutter with a grin as snape sneers before walking up the stairs, me following close behind.
"So... any idea what he wants?" I ask as snape ignores me and continues to walk up the stairs. "Rude..."
He scoffs as we reach the top, he knocks on a door as a muffled voice says "come in."
Snape opens the door as he walks in, me following behind as I notice the old man smiling at me with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Thank you Severus, you may go now." Dumbledore says as snape pauses hesitantly before walking out with a (dramatic) swish of his cape.
"Y/n, my child, have a seat will you?" Dumbledore asks as i grimace at the man's fake grandfatherly tone but silently nod, sitting down.
"Lemon drop?" He asks as I glance at the lemon drops which seem to be coated in some type of green liquid which was barely noticeable before shaking my head. "Alright then."
"Do you know why I called you in here today, miss potter?" He questions me as I shake my head, glancing over at the phoenix behind him before turning towards the papers scattered on the desk.

"No sir."
"Well, I've had a thought, I just don't think you belong in... well, the Slytherin house." Dumbledore explains as I raise an eyebrow at the man. "So, I think it would be an excellent idea to resort you!"
I glance towards the hat who layed on the shelf as the hat seems to glare at the old man.
"Albus I stay firm with my decision, she belongs in the Slytherin house and I refuse to put her with the Gryffindors!" The hat snaps as the paintings in the room glance at us, now paying attention to what was going on.
"This must be a misunderstanding, there isn't anyway that she is meant to be in Slytherin." Dumbledore tries to reason as the hat shakes its 'head.'
"Albus, I will not resort her." Is all the hat says before closing its eyes, adjusting back into a normal hat.
"Well, we can always resort you the other way." Dumbledore suggests as I raise an eyebrow, does the old man really think I want to be resorted?
"I do apologize sir, but I do not wish to be restored." I interrupt the man as he raises an eyebrow.
"Are you sure my child? There isn't any need to be shy—" he gets cut off as I shake my head.
"If this is all you called me in here for, I will be taking my leave since I do not wish to be resorted." I say before standing up and dusting off my clothes.
I take my leave as the man has a bewildered look on his face, leaving the paintings snickering.

I Am the God of Games
This is the tale of an earthling, who transmigrated as a dying third-rate god but somehow rose through the ranks, gaining followers and eventually causing the Fourth Great Apocalypse. ☆ "Have you ever heard of the God of Games?" "The God of Games..?" Eleena shook her head in puzzlement. "I have never heard of Him…" "What if the God of Games could give you the power to defeat your enemies?" Xi Wei coaxed patiently. Eleena remained silent for a while, before resolutely lifting her head and fixing her gaze on Xi Wei. "Then I am willing to become a believer of the God of Games!" "Belief isn't something to only be spoken by mouth. Close your eyes and envision His name in your mind, and feel His power with your heart," he said solemnly. "O Master of Games, grant us new life!"

The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.
