《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》XXXVI. Marge
Advertisement
"Potters!!! Open the door!" Petunia demands as I sigh and open the door, marge and Vernon come walking in petunia greets them.
Nyx is spending time with Tom upstairs since they're both bored and have nobody else to talk to.
"Marge, how... lovely... to see you..." Petunia says with distastefulness in her tone but she covers it up by a smile.
I knew petunia never liked marge nor her dog. Hell, she might hate them more than she hates us!
"Uncle Vernon... I need you to sign these forms." Harry explains as Vernon takes off his coat.
"What is it?" Vernon asks as Harry looks at him blankly.
"Nothing... school stuff." Harry says as Vernon scoffs at the mention of school.
"Later perhaps, if you behave." Vernon says as I lean against the wall.
"I will if she does..." Harry mutters before we walk into the dining room.
"Wait." I say to Vernon as he pauses and looks back at me with a glare.
"Just because Harry is playing by the rules, didn't mean I will. Sign my permission slip right now unless you want another... incident to happen." I demand with a grin on my face as I wave my wand in the air playfully.
"Y-you can't use magic outside of school!" Vernon says as I roll my eyes as point my wand against his neck.
"It's not like they can expel their oh so precious girl who lived." I say with sarcasm dripping from my tone as Vernon flinches as grabs the permission slip from my hand, signing it quickly before shoving it back in my hands.
"There! Now don't let marge see your blasted witch-y stuff!" Vernon demands with a glare as I grin at him before putting my wand back on the holder which was on my belt.

I walk next to Harry who looks at me confused before facing back towards the dursleys.
"Oh... you two still here, are you?" Marge asks as she glares at us.
"Yep." I state blankly as I stare at the rather ugly woman infront of us.
"Don't say yes in that ungrateful way. Damn good of my brother to keep you. They'd have been straight into an orphanage if they'd been dumped on my doorstep, Vernon." She directs the last part at Vernon as she glares at us.
Dudley laughs as a gleeful expression forms on marge's face.
"Is that my little neffy-poo?!" She exclaims before pampering him with forehead kisses.
"Give is a kiss! Come on! Up! Up! Up! Up!" Marge yells as she invites her dog on the couch.
Petunia visibly grimaces at that as she stands next to the couch.
"Oh, yes! Take marges suitcase upstairs!" Vernon demands as I nod boredly and take her suitcase upstairs.
———
"Mm, finish that off for mommy." Margie says while putting her plate on the floor, the dog immediately licking it up. "There's a good boy..."
Harry brings another plate into the kitchen as I sigh and look at him in pity, I had just been in charge of drink reliefs while he managed the food.
"You want a little drop of brandy? A little drop of brandy-brandy-windy-wandy for rippy-pippy-poo?" She pampers the dog as Harry smirks slightly. I snicker as marge glares at us.
"What're you smirking at?" She asks as I shake my head with a grin tugging on my lips.
"Where is it you send the two, Vernon?" Marge asks the male as he straightens up and looks at her.
"Saint brutus's. It's a fine institution for hopeless cases." Vernon lies through his teeth as Marge nods and faces us.

"Do they use a cane at saint brutus's, brats?" She asks as me and Harry pause, glancing at Vernon who nods his head.
"Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've been beaten loads of times. Mhm." Harry mutters as a clear lie but Marge doesn't seem to notice that.
"Good. I won't have this namby-pamby wishy-washy nonsense about not beating people who deserve it." Marge complains as Harry turns around so his back if facing them as I stand next to him with a carefree grin playing on my face.
"But you mustn't blame yourself about how these ones turned out, Vernon. It's all to do with blood. Bad blood will out." Marge complains as I look up at the ceiling boredly.
"What is it the boys father did, petunia?" Marge asks as petunia tenses up.
"Nothing. H-he didn't— he didn't work. He was unemployed." Petunia lies as she glares back at the two of us.
"And a drunk, too, no doubt?" Marge responds as Harry suddenly speaks up.
"That's a lie." Harry says with a hint of anger lacing his voice.
"What did you say." Marge demands as Harry and I turn around as I mentally facepalm.
"My dad wasn't a drunk!" Harry yells as the glass in marges hand shatters, making everybody gasp.
"Oh, don't worry, petunia! I have a very firm grip." Marge laughs as she grabs a napkin to wipe off the drink that spilled on her.
"I think it's fine you two went to bed." Vernon tries to demand but Marge shushes him.
"Quiet, Vernon. You... clean it up." She gestures towards Harry as he sighs in annoyance and rags a rag, walking over to clean it up.
"It's nothing to do with the father. It's all to do with the mother." Marge corrects as petunia looks at her blankly.
"You see it all the time with dogs. If there's something wrong with the bitch, then there's something wrong with the pup." Marge says as Harry turns around and glares at her.
"Shut up! Shut up!" He yells as the dog starts to whine.
"Right! Let me tell you... y— y-.." she pauses as she notices her finger inflating as the lights flicker.
Her body starts to expand as her clothes rip and her necklace breaks.
"Vernon... Vernon! Vernon, do something!" She yells as he gets up only to be bit by the dog.
I laugh as she starts to float, the button from her shirt breaking off and hitting dudley in the face.
Dudley gets up again only to be hit by another button.
Marge floats off as Vernon tries to save her but fails as he drops to the ground.
"Vernon!" petunia exclaims as she rushes towards him in worry.
Vernon screams as Marge floats off. Dudley shrugs and licks the remaining food of his fingers.
Me and Harry quickly run upstairs in a panic.
"We are so screwed!" I yell, mainly to myself, as I lean against the closed door.
Harry grits his teeth and kicks the desk before sitting down on his bed.
I sigh as I hesitantly walk towards him as sit down next to him.
I suppose Tom had gone back in the diary as nyx was asleep next to the diary on the desk.
We watch the photo of our parents as I put my hand on Harry's.
"I'm sorry... I know I'm not.. the best... sister... but, I'm sorry..." I mutter before he wraps his arms around me.
"It's okay..." he mumbles back as he lays his head on my shoulder.

The Apocalypse Show - Dungeon Core
There were lot's of ways that people had predicted that the world would end. A few even had it partially correct. But how could they have predicted it would be a combination of the system apocalypse and aliens. Specifially aliens that wanted to create the equivlant of a TV show about the system apocalypse on Earth. Arthur woke up with a headache and the option to create a character. Most people would have gone with the safe choice and selected to stay a human. Arthur suspected that wouldn't be the safe choice in his new world. Instead he decided to see what other races were available. Eventually he decided to become a dungeon core instead. Of course being a dungeon core comes with a number of challenges. Starting with the fact that he was a giant crystal instead of having a body, managing a bunch of unintelligent minons, and most importantly the reaction of his human neighbors when they discover him. If he can overcome these challenges he may be able to enjoy some of the benefits. Such as the fact that dungeon cores are immortal and he would eventually have an entire army of dungeon minions that would obey any of his commands. Perhaps even find some female companions that are looking for a safe place during the apocalypse. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, nudity, and sexual content. This isn't something you would find in the young adult section. This does not mean that this would be rated NC-17 or X, if that is what you are looking for try lewd dungeon.

Dust and Glory
A century after World War III left the planet a nuclear wasteland, earth is nearly unrecognizable. Alien ‘Benefactors’ have taken control of North America’s most populous cities and built indomitable walls around them, defending their inhabitants but trapping them under a totalitarian rule. Outside these citadels, chaos reigns, led by the mutants of the wasteland; cultists, raiders, and canibal clans. Glory, a rogue android, is roaming the wastes after escaping her sadistic “father”. Alone and reeling from the effects of a previously sheltered life, her only ray of hope is Reza City, built upon the ruins of what used to be Phoenix, Arizona. True, the Benefactors have a strict ban on self-aware artificial intelligence in place, but that should only prove an issue if they realize she’s an AI. The real problem is what lurks outside the city: over a million square miles of harsh, unyielding desert. And slinking between the dunes and the fissures are the mutants, looking for an easy victim.

Lost souls, will be rewritten soon. (Old version)
In a world where mages stand above the peasants, the nobles, and the law, it is not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Five siblings from a village in the middle of nowhere felt the same. Unfortunately, a dragon brought ruin to their home, eventually cornering the five blood brothers. Luz, the eldest brother, ignored the warnings of his ancestors for the sake of their survival. Using an ancient teleportation spell, he and his siblings were sucked into a portal leading to God-knows-where. In a foreign place far from home, Luz carries the burden of disobeying his ancestors and losing his younger brothers. He sets off to reunite his siblings and slay the dragon that destroyed their village while only being equipped with one useless space spell that drains all his mana after one usage. Author's note: English isn't my first language and this is the first novel I tried writing, which is why some of the earlier chapters aren't that good, even though I grew better over time. I'm still in the phase of editing a lot of my earlier chapters. But unfortunately, I haven't yet found any time for it. Daily updates are to be expected till we reach chapter 100. If your comment motivates me, I might upload up to five chapters.^^

The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
