《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》LXVII. Explanations
Advertisement
"So, care to explain everything?" Harry asks as soon as we enter our room at the Dursley's, I laugh nervously as I glance at him.
"Just wait a second..." I mutter as I sit on the bed, taking the diary out of my bag and opening it.
I write a quick message to Tom before he materialized, glanced between me and Harry. Harry glares at the boy as Tom simply grins at him in amusement.
"How is he even still here? I destroyed the diary." He says as he glances at the diary which now looked completely different.
"Well... we may have replaced your memories which false ones..." i explain nervously as Harry stares at me wide-eyes.
"What's next?! The basilisk is alive?!" He mutters sarcastically as I pause, sending him a nervous grin as he stares at me blankly.
"Don't tell me..." he pauses as I nod hesitantly as he stares at me in shock.
"Of course...! Why am I not surprised?! You're also friends with tom fucking riddle." He says as tom grins cockily, putting his arm on my head as he leans on me.
I glare at the taller male as Harry sighs, shaking his head.
"Start from the beginning." Harry demands as I nod, shaking tom off me as me and Harry sit on the bed.
"So starting with second year, the first half of the year nothing much happened that you don't know about, I could hear eserine— the basilisk— talking in the pipes aswell. Nyx had already met Eserine, in first year, so she brought me down to the chamber. She was actually pretty nice as we became friends. Later on, I found toms diary. He was rude at first but we eventually got along as we formed a plan to make it seem like the diary got destroyed after it was returned to you." I explain as harrys eyes widen.

"After that, I introduced Hermione and Draco to tom, though at the time they didn't know who he was. Later on, Eserine accidentally petrified Hermione while trying to petrify another student. I had helped Tom lure Ginny into the chamber as she mainly just stayed unconscious during the whole thing." I explain add on as Harry nods in understanding.
"Now, this is the part that you know. or atleast you think you know. While you supposedly killed the basilisk, that isn't the case. We had casted a heavy glamour on Eserine to make it look like she died while she was very much alive. We replaced your memories with fake ones." I explain sheepishly as Harry sighs, shaking his head before turning towards us.
"You're unbelievable y/n."
"You still love me though!" I agrue back as he sighs.
"Unfortunately."
———
I sit in my bed, swinging my legs back and forth before suddenly an owl flies through the window and crashes against the wall.
I wince as I take the letter, being grateful that the dursleys were currently out shopping.
Did indeed
For our shop
In the war
The dark
Once I finish reading the letter, I roll my eyes at the way they wrote it. They even wrote letters in twin speech.
I do let a small grin form on my face when I read over the last line.
Look like I've got myself two new ally's.

The Cursed Heart
Kayden was six months old when the doctor found the curse in his heart. From then on, his life was a struggle to keep it locked away and dormant and above all secret, dreading the day that it would finally break free and wreak havoc. Now he’s fourteen, and that day has come. Things look bad, but there’s hope — the world’s most prestigious magical school is willing to take him in, keep him safe, and pay his legal fees to avoid bankrupting his family. Most importantly, they can teach him to control his curse, to avoid ever hurting anyone else. It sounds far too good to be true, but what other option does he have? Kayden quickly finds himself embroiled in a large political game he doesn’t understand. But he’d better learn fast. Because the secrets of his new school run deeper than he ever expected, and his actions have far more dangerous consequences than he could ever have known. ----------------------- Want to read ahead?

8 350The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
8 195Episode 2: SPAWN
A vampire was destroyed in the city of Two Rivers. Her second death points detectives Alton and Cook of the Unjust Existence Extermination Investigation Force in the direction of an agent of a foreign power, and suggests the existence of a greater vampiric plot that undermines the reputation of the city for fair treatment of living-impaired citizens. Set in the world of Manifest Destiny - a shared hombrew D&D 3.5/Pathfinder 1 campaign setting that has been in use since 2007, this is a fantasy police procedural similar in style to Law & Order. Retired player characters make cameo appearances. This work originally won NaNoWriMo in 2015, and will update every Saturday until complete.
