《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》XIX. The Car
Advertisement
Once we reach the station, Hermione had to leave so she had went with her parents to the station already, leaving only me, Harry, and the Weasleys.
The twins go first, then Percy, then Ginny, and finally the eldest Weasleys.
Ron and Harry then try to go through they crash into the wall, causing everything to fall down.
The muggles nearby stop to stare as a worker on the station walks towards them.
"What do you boys think you're doing?" The worker asks as they look at him panicked.
"Sorry sir, my brother and his friend are a bit clumsy so they just lost control of the trolley. I'll watch them more carefully next time, sorry for the inconvenience." I dip my head down to him in apology as he shakes his head and walks away muttering about 'time wasters' and what not.
"Why can't we get through?" Harry whispers angrily as I glance at him and Ron.
"I don't know. The gateway has sealed itself for some reason!" Ron says as he puts his hand against the now-solid cement.
Suddenly the clock chimes as they look up at it.
"The train leaves at exactly eleven-o-clock we've missed it!" Harry exclaims as Ron had his mouth open in shock as he stared at the clock before slowly turning towards Harry.
"Harry... if we can't get through, maybe mum and dad can't get back!" Ron explains as he hits the solid wall to prove his point.
"Maybe we should just go and wait by the car." Harry suggests as Ron seems to be thinking.
Ron thinking? That's something new...
"The car..." Ron trails off as I look at him confused before hitting my forehead as I realize the morons idea.
"This won't end well."

Ron drives the now flying car as I sit in the backseat with Harry in the passengers seat.
"Ron, I should tell you, most muggles aren't accustomed to seeing a flying car." Harry explains as a look of realization dawns on Ron's face.
"Uh... right." He mutters before he presses a button, causing the car to go invisible. I sigh as I lay down across the back seat and shake my head in disappointment.
We got a decent way until suddenly the car fades back to normal.
"Oh no! The invisibility booster must be faulty!" Ron says worriedly as I lift my head up from the seat to glance at the two.
"Well, come on then, let's go lower. We need to find the train!" Harry exclaims as Ron nods worriedly.
"Okay..." Ron mutters before pulling a lever as we dive down, gliding across the train track.
I sit up completely as I suddenly feel like we've messed up.
"Now all we need to do is catch up with the train." Harry explains as Ron nods.
"We can't be far behind!" Ron exclaims before suddenly the sound of a train and a whistle enters my ears.
"Do you hear that?" Harry questions excitedly as I nervously tap my fingers on the side of my skirt.
"We must be getting close!" Ron says before they realize something, the train was behind us.
They scream as they fasten the pace before swerving to the side, avoiding near death.
We spin as we go under the bridge made for the train before we glide up next to it, unfortunately, the door unlocked as Harry fell, though he grabbed onto the door at the last second.
"Harry!!" Ron exclaims as I roll my eyes and jump to the front seat, grabbing Harry's arm.

"Focus on driving, stupid Weasel!" I snap as he nods panicky as I grab Harry's hand and forcefully pull him up into the seat.
We pant as Harry's door closes and he sits in the seat.
I jump back to the back as I lay my head back.
I glance towards the people on the train who are staring before rolling down my window, sticking my head out, and flipping them off.
———
We approach hogwarts as the sun had already set, casting the shining moon to dust over hogwarts, illuminating the roof.
"Welcome home, Harry." Ron says as Harry nods with a light smile before suddenly the car starts to break down and Ron narrowly misses crashing into hogwarts.
"Up!!! Mind that tree!" Harry yells as I grit my teeth in annoyance.
Ron does not, in fact, mind that tree as he crashes straight into it.
I grit my teeth before opening the window as pushing embry to fly out, making sure she doesn't get hurt as I cradle nyx in my arms, protecting her from the damage.
She car smashes down into the tree as the windows cracked as so did Ron's wand.
"My wand... look at my wand...!" Ron whimpers as I roll my eyes.
"Be thankful it's not your neck, moron." I remark as Ron glares at me but doesn't say anything.
Suddenly the car shakes causing Harry to gasp as I hold onto the seat of the car, stopping me for falling.
"What's going on?" Ron whimpers as harry looks panicked.
"I don't know." Harry stares as suddenly there's growling infront of us, they turn to face it slowly only for the tree to hit the roof of the car.
The tree had kept violently breaking the car until suddenly we fell on the ground.
"Go you stupid ass weasel!" I exclaim as the tree prepares to deliver the final attack.
He drives the car forwards quickly as we narrowly miss getting crushed, causing us let out a sigh of relief.
The car doors then open, throwing Ron and Harry out as I got out calmly after them, giggling as the two boys got thrown to the damp grass. I grab hedwig and set her down as I didn't want harm to come to the poor bird.
All the luggage gets thrown out as I quickly grab mine.
The two boys stand up as that stupid rat gets thrown to Weasley.
"Scabbers! You're okay!" Ron says as I walk towards the boy.
"I don't like that stupid rat, it gives off a bad feeling... maybe I should feed it to nyx!" I add happily as the rat backs away, clear terror in its eyes as I grin in a disturbing gleeful way at it.
Nyx as slithered up around my neck at the mention of getting a snack.
*The rat definitely isn't normal I'll tell you that much! Probably an amimagus!* she hisses knowingly at the rat as my eyes widen as I resist the urge to gag.
The thought of the stupid rat that's been so close to the Weasley family could be a grown adult..?
I shake away the disgusting thought as I glare at the rat before turning towards the car.
The car had shut its doors and started to drive away, the two tried to chase after it as I shake my head with a grin and follow them slowly.
"Dads going to kill me..." Ron murmurs as I snicker.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
