《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》XXXIV. Hagrids Return

"Where were you?!" Draco demands as soon as I enter the common room, everyone else had been asleep by now so it was just us.
"I was— uh.. just..—" I was cut off by him hitting me on the head as I chuckle nervously.
"I wasn't worried for you or anything...! I just didn't want my reputation to be ruined cause of the people I hang out with getting in trouble!!" He says quickly as I grin at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Well..."
———
"You—! You all nearly..!" Draco gasps as I finish telling him the events of what happened tonight.
"Please don't tell anyone, Tom made the illusion that the horcrux was destroyed..." i trail off as Draco regains him composure.
"I... suppose so.." He mutters as I excitedly hug him.
"Thanks!!" I say energetically.
"Whatever..." he mutters as he glances over at the wall.
———
I sat next to Hermione and Draco as she had been healed from being petrified.
"So... the Tom guy we met was a horcrux...? And also a teenage Voldemort..." Hermione says in a whisper so only Draco and I could hear it.
"Heh... yeah..." i mutter as she facepalms and glares at me.
"You do know how reckless that idea was, correct?" She asks as I nod shamefully.
She was about to say something else but was stopped when mcgonagall hit her spoon on her glass, making all attention divert towards her.
"Could I have your attention, please?" She says as we look up at her.
Dumbledore then stands up as he has the same grandfatherly smile on his face.
"Before we begin the feast, let us have a round of applause for Professor sprout, madam ponfrey, whose mandrake juice has been so successfully administered to all who had been petrified." Dumbledore announces as everyone starts to clap, the two women smiling kindly.

"Also, in light of the recent events, as a school treat, all exams have been canceled." Dumbledore announces with a smile as everyone starts to cheer.
Suddenly, the door opens, revealing Hagrid who smiles awkwardly.
"Sorry 'm late." Hagrid says as everyone stares in shock.
"Th' owl tha' delivered my release papers got all lost n' confused. Some ruddy bird called Errol." Hagrid says as he walks over to Harry and Ron.
"nd' I'd jus' like t' say that if it hadn't been for you Harry... nd' ron... I would... I'd still b' you-know-where... s' I'd jus' like t' say thanks" Hagrid says as Harry stands up with a smile.
"There's no hogwarts without you, Hagrid." Harry says before hugging Hagrid.
Dumbeldore started clapping and soon everyone was clapping aswell.
———
On the train ride home, I mainly wrote to Tom as Draco and Hermione talked about who knows what.
'Hey tommy-boy'
I write as the book starts to burn making me grin slightly.
'Don't call me that!'
His normal neat writing had gotten messier as he was clearly annoyed.
'Sorry tommy-boy'
The book then slammed shut as I grin slightly.

Gameplay
A world irrevocably altered by beings of supernatural inclination. Those people we know as more than human. Metahuman, suits, capes, supers. Heroes and Villains. The bearers of powers beyond the imagination. People capable of great good or great evil but greatness all the same. The capacity for the supernatural. The ability to move mountains with the mind. To travel across the world in a blink. To dance upon the moon. Commune with powers and energies unbeknownst to even those gifted with enhanced intelligence. To break the laws of physics and reality altogether. This is a story of growth. A young man, living near a PAT known for just that, beginning truly at the start. They say the moment a super originates is their true birth. The genesis of an individual shedding the chains of humanity and ascending into something greater. Whether good or bad, it was nearly a given that any super was destined for something extraordinary. That grand story, however, did not always start as miracle. For Ludus Rowth, it began with electrical baptism.

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.

Natural Alchemist
Will is poor. This is a fact he does not like about himself. Even back at his home village he was considered poor, but poor in the big city means something completely different than poor in a small village... It means ten hour days of hard manual labor with barely enough money to survive, and poor living conditions. He's sick of it, and desperate for change. Perhaps that was what made him decide to spend such a large portion of his savings on a mysterious potion from that beggar... That, and it seemed so special when he held it. But ever since that day, he's been having the strangest dreams... And the work is really starting to take a toll on his body... Author's Note: I wasn't sure which mature content warnings I should put on this novel, as I'm pretty much pantsing the story. I'm putting them there mostly as a percaution, but also to not limit myself as to where the story can go. This is my first time writing and publishing anything substantial. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
