《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》LXXXV. Inheritance Test
Advertisement
"Harry?" I ask as he glance towards me, setting down the book he was reading.
We had been sitting in the library as my hands run across Nyx's scales.
"Mhm?"
"Er... well, Nyx had mentioned this earlier so I wanted your opinion on it..." i trail off as he tilts his head in confusion slightly.
"So, there's this thing at the gringotts you can get called an inheritance test, nyx suggested sneaking out to get one with you." I explain as Harry nods slowly in understanding.
"Hm... well it sounds like a good idea to me, when should we sneak out?" He inquires as I glance towards the window which showed the sun just setting.
"Sometime before the sun completely sets." I mutter as Harry nods, looking out the window aswell.
"What about right now?" He questions as I glance towards him before nodding.
"The professors wouldn't notice if we went through the whomping willow to the shrieking shack. From there we can go somewhere close to where the night bus would be." I explain as we both get up, nyx curling loosely around my shoulders as she lays half asleep.
"Well, let's go!"
———
I wave to the conductor of the bus before the bus speeds off.
Me and Harry walk around the corner and to the familiar old looking building. Once we open the door, the familiar scent of old wood and coffee fills my senses.
I glance around as I see the bartender, Tom I think his name was.
I drag Harry over to him as he glances at the two of us.
"We need to get into diagon alley." I state as he pauses, glancing at our scars before nodding briefly.
"Go right ahead." He murmurs before going back to polishing the glass he was holding.
We walk out the back door as I get out my wand before I pause, thinking back to the order hagrid hit the bricks the first time.
After a moment I try the same order I remember and after a second, they open to relabeling diagon alley which was slightly less busy given the fact it was night.
I hold onto Harry's hand in order to not get lost as we walk down the street to gringotts.
I glance up at the while building before walking in with Harry right next to me.
We walk over to the same goblin from before as he glances at us before going back to the paper he had as he mutters a "yes?"
"Er— we'd like to take inheritance tests." Harry explains as the goblin glances down at us (specifically our scars) before nodding.
"Very well, go in that room there, the goblin that takes care of the potter vault will be there." He drawls as he points at a room before going back to the paper.
Me and Harry walk over to the room as we knock, hearing an brief 'come in' before walking in.
"Yes?" The goblin asks, seemingly annoyed.

"We wanted to take inheritance tests." I answers as the goblin nods, taking two pieces of parchment and two short daggers.
"Cut your finger and let the blood drip onto the parchment." The goblin explains as we sit down in the chairs infront of the desk and cut our fingers, letting the crimson liquid slowly drip onto the parchment.
I glance down as words form on the parchment.

Once I finish reading the parchment, my eyes are wide in shock as I glance at Harry who had an equally as shocked look on his face.
"Switch...?" I murmur as he nods, handing me the parchment in his hands as he took the one in mine.

The room becomes silent before I turn towards Harry Harry. "Atleast together we basically own half of hogwarts now?"
I chuckle nervously as Harry facepalms, the goblin raises an eyebrow before looking down at the paper.
His eyes were widen slightly once he finished reading but quickly regained an stone-faced expression.
"If I may, I would suggest claiming your lordships/ladyships and heirships before doing anything else." The goblin explained as I glance at Harry, he pauses in thought before nodding.
"Alright then, how do we claim the lordships/ladyships and heirships?" I ask as the goblin waves his hand and summons two dark wooden box's. One had my initials carved into it and the other had Harry's initials carved into it.
He opens the boxes as a bunch of rings lay in a row, each with a different crest on them.
"The one's on the left are lordship/ladyship, then the ones on the right our heirship. If the magic of that family accepts you, then you gain the protection the lordship/heirship ring provides." The goblin explains as he pushes the boxes towards each of us.
I glance at the rings which layed in my box, two rings were bigger as one had the ravenclaw house symbol.
The other had roses on vines running along the border as the middle was separated into three, two small squares and one long. The long one had the silhouette of a tree standing there as the top small one had the letter 'E' on it and the lower one had a fully grown rose.
There were two smaller rings, one with a black family crest, and the second with the Emrys house crest. The goblin glanced as me as I hold up the ravenclaw ring, looking in awe at the detail.
"To claim your ladyship, just say 'I, Y/n Lily Potter, wish to wear the ring of ravenclaw, accepting the title of lady to the ancient and noble house of ravenclaw and all responsibilities that come with it.'" The goblin explains as I nod, bringing the ring to my finger.
"I, Y/n Lily Potter, wish to wear the ring of ravenclaw, accepting the title of lady to the ancient and noble house of ravenclaw and all responsibilities that come with it." I repeat as the ring slips onto my finger as I feel a sudden rush of magic throughout my body.
"Each lordship, ladyship, or heirship ring has its own protection spells." The goblin briefly explains as I nod.
Once me and Harry put all our rings on, we then moved onto getting the potions/compulsions removed.
———
I yawn as I glance at Harry, who simply glances back before we turn back towards the goblin.
"Thanks for the help today, but if I may ask... where are our parents wills?" I ask as the goblin pauses, seemingly in thought before he gets up and walks out of the room.
Soon after, the goblin enters the room again with another goblin who was holding two rolled up parchments.
"It seems your parents wills have been illegally sealed." The second goblin explains as Harry looks confused.
"Wonder who could have done that." I murmur sarcastically with an eye roll.
"The wills were illegally sealed three days after your parents death, by Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore." The goblin adds on as I glare down at the table, annoyed by the old man's meddling in our lives.
"Is there any way for us to see the wills as soon as possible?" Harry asks as the goblin nods curtly.
"Of course, we currently have the wills—" he pauses to hold up the parchments. "— and can open them immediately so long as we have your permission."
"You have our permission, open it." I say to the goblin as he nods, unrolling one of the parchments as my mothers voice automatically reads the words written onto the page.
"Last will and testament of Lily Jasmine Potter née Evans. I, Lily Jasmine Potter née Evans, being sound of mind and body, declare this to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills previously made by me."
"If my husband, James Fleamont Potter, outlives me then I give him everything I own along as access to the Evans vaults. If my Husband dies along with me, then I give everything to my children, Y/n Lily Potter and Harry James Potter. The items and currency shall go to the vaults and all vaults (excluding the potter trust vault which will be completely managed by Harry and Y/n Potter) will be managed by Sirius Black till they come of age. If Sirius is not available then Remus Lupin will be in charge of the vaults."
"To Sirius Black, I leave 30,000 galleons, I know you don't need the money, but use feel free to use it however you wish (also just ask moony out already, he likes you back, I promise!). To Remus Lupin, I leave 50,000 galleons and access to all the books which reside inside the Ravenclaw and Evans vault. If we died by being betrayed by our location being given away, then peter is the cause of my and my husbands death, therefore, we will leave him nothing but the warning not to mess with our kids lives. But if I died due to natural causes, then I leave 50,000 galleons and his favorite chair. To Alice Longbottom, I leave 50,000 galleons and the best of wishes for your child. To Narcissa Mafloy, I leave 20,000 galleons and all the ancient rune's books which reside inside the Ravenclaw vault. To Severus Snape, I leave my sincerest apologies and forgiveness along with 40,000 galleons. To Minerva Mcgonagall, I leave 20,000 galleons."
"In the case which both my husband and I die, my children will be taken care of the following in order; Sirius Black, Alice Longbottom, Narcissa Malfoy, Severus Snape, or Minerva Mcgonagall. If none of the above are available, then my children will be adopted by a neutral wizarding family. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will my children be left with my sister, Petunia Dursley née Evans!"

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
