Advertisement
I'm really surprised I've come back to votes already on this aw made me smile enjoy the first proper chapter and if you are reading let me know so I know to keep updating :) -C
Evelyn recaps the headlines in her head as she walks towards the Woolworth building, it happens to be on the corner of a street not to far away from the city bank.
She could disapparate but she rather enjoys the walk.
Her day really just consists of walking to the Woolworth building busying herself in the wand permit section and then leaving back to her apartment.
She leads a rather simple life but if it gets her one step closer to seeing the world then she's okay with it all.
Today however, Evelyn stops just outside the city bank.
A group known as the New Salem Philanthropic Society are holding a rally right by the steps.
Evelyn stops to find out what Mary Lou Barebone a women has to say this time.
A banner is held up behind them and Evelyn tries her best not to show any discomfort towards it.. as it's a symbol of hands grasping a broken wand amongst flames.
Mary Lou goes on to talk to the crowd around her.
What catches Evelyn's eye however is not her work colleague Tina Goldstein who happens to be in the crowd too, mustard smeared on her lip as she hungrily eats a hot dog.
Nor is it the nervous man by the name of Jacob Kowalski who's holding onto a battered leather case so tightly that he might just break the handle. But it's the curious man with a dark blue coat, and even more curious leather case by his side.
He moves through the crowd and accidentally bumps into Goldstein but Evelyn isn't taking notice of this.. but instead she notices the little claws that have appeared out of the edge of the curious man's case lid.

Evelyn moves closer to the man until she comes to a halt at the sound of Mary Lou asking him "what has drawn him to her meeting today?" to which he looks startled to be put on the spot and takes a moment to answer.
"Oh I was just passing" he replies to her seemingly having no idea of what she or this meeting really is for.
Evelyn finds herself being pulled towards this man after hearing him speak, he's British and this makes her heart skip a beat at the though of her home she left behind.
This doesn't linger in Evelyn's mind for too long however, as she's most intrigued into whatever dangerous being he's hiding in his case, she's almost certain he's a wizard.
Suddenly the man looks down at his case before jolting forward through the crowd Goldstein and Evelyn close behind.
He hurriedly enters the city bank the two girls still following closely behind him. Evelyn follows Tina behind a pillar as she curiously looks around it watching the man sit in the waiting area next to the nervous man from before. "Suspicious looking guy" Tina says acknowledging Evelyn.
"Certain he's a wizard but a odd one I must say, could've sworn I saw claws coming out of his brief case" Evelyn replied and they both look towards him as he abruptly stands up as though chasing after something.
The girls eyes follow him as he darts back and forth between the crowds of people in the bank.
"Hey mister!" Jacob Kowalski shouts after the man but he doesn't hear.
"What do you reckon he's doing? If he doesn't stop he's going to cause a scene." Tina speaks quietly to Evelyn as they watch from behind the pillar.
"Reckon he's lost whatever it was that was crawling from his case" Evelyn replied curiously following every movement he takes with eyes.

The man is peering towards the bag of lady who happens to be in the front of a line "he's not stealing anything is he?" Tina asks aloud not expecting an answer. The sound of coins spilling causes them to divert their eyes to a bench where the noise came from.
"See claws are gathering up that money there look" Evelyn says pointing towards the bench. The two girls move slightly closer trying their hardest to act natural.
Then things take an even more dramatic Jacob Kowalski calls after him "Hey, Mr English guy! I think your egg is hatching." Tina and Evelyn both look at each other worry overlooking their faces.
"If there's animals in his trunk then the president will want to know, it's forbidden" Tina speaks worriedly to Evelyn to which she doesn't get a reply.
Evelyn has started to walk closer and closer to Jacob Kowalski only to be pulled along with him across the bank towards the curious man, before they Disapparate into a narrow stairwell.
The man looks at Evelyn as though wondering how she got caught up in this, this thought however. doesn't linger long for the egg in the hands of Jacob is hatching to reveal a blue snake looking bird.
Evelyn can't even think about the trouble this man will get into especially with someone such as Tina watching from where she left her, but Evelyn can't help but smile at the look the man holds on his face; it's one of pure bliss and happiness as the sight of the small creature.
"What is going on i was over there and..." Jacob says in confusion Evelyn takes a deep sigh in realisation that Jacob is in fact a muggle has this man got no care for the laws of magic?
Evelyn and a puzzled Jacob follow the man down the stairs to the basement of the bank. Once they reach the bottom the man opens his case before whispering to the creature to hop in and it does just this. Evelyn smiles again at the look of happiness that crossed the mans face, she's never seen someone so intrigued by these beasts before.
She laughs quietly to herself as he speaks into his case " No. Everyone settle down, stay. Dougal don't make me come in there." He then looks up at her and smiles and if she hadn't been so intrigued by the case she would have noticed her heart flutter.
This moment however, is interrupted by him chasing after another creature that has gotten into a chamber, he pulls out his wand saying "Alohomora" as the Mr Bingley the bank manager enters.
"So you're gonna steal the money, huh?" Looking at Jacob as he had a meeting earlier about a loan for a bakery he so desperately wants but isn't allowed.
Bingly sounds an alarm and Evelyn panics just as the man is about to raise his wand, Evelyn beats him to it saying "Pertrificus Totalus".
The man smiles briefly at her in surprise before emptying the pouch the creature whilst arguing with it in the most adorable way possible.

The First Primordial [DROPPED]
[Story dropped until further notice, I don't currently plan on restarting the story but will leave it as a possible option] During the Creation and before the inception of the Realms, there were 3 beings. Known as Primordials, beings even the God's knew little about that were rumoured to be myths or legends. Follow one of such beings that, given the unflattering name Arthur and the species of Demon, must figure out his place within the realms and find his fellow Primordials. Spending the beginning of creation within what will be called The White Realm then spending an unknown amount of time screwing around in the Demon Realm. Once he finally begins his story, he will be acquainted with a world full of grand vistas, religious nuts and floating rocks which will remove whatever little common sense he had remaining. Of course, there will be no shortage of trouble that will complicate things that (due to a poor ability in making good first impressions) will cause more than a few worlds changing events. These events include the destruction of a church and minor religion, including the death of that religion's God, messing with the reincarnated people and even introducing his own reincarnators along with the slight involvement of a war between the Demon Realm and the Creation Realm. Slow burn story; expect the story to be long with plot being introduced as it goes along. The story will include a main character with an actual mind and personality that will create, learn, and even destroy as the story progresses with an emphasis on what experiencing the other side of most novels, a perspective on that one whimsical god that brings the protagonist from one world to another that is only ever mentioned in the starting chapter. [PS- This will be my first time writing, so advice, tips and critiques will be appreciated. The release schedule is a bit iffy and unreliable but will mostly be every Sunday]

Fate Overcharge (Stalled)
Rin Tohsaka, the young genious magus who, using the power of the holy grail, built an empire spanning the whole world, decides to use the power of the second sorcery to expand her empire to other realms and... Ehm, sorry, wrong story. Err, alright, starting again... Rin Tohsaka is the current head of the Tohsaka family and a likely master in the upcoming fifth grail war. She doesn't have a wish she wants granted, but she will fight to win. For if there is a battle to be fought, could a Tohsaka settle for any less than a complete victory? This is a fan fiction for the Fate/StayNight and an alternative rendition of the fifth grail war that introduces new characters, and shows never before seen sides of the old ones. Since this is a fan fiction, knowledge of the original works is needed to understand it. Watching stay/night or zero should be sufficient, but reading both works along with Hollow Ataraxia is recommended for not missing any details. (I won't assume the readers have read Hollow A.) - Warning: Tagged Mature(+15) mainly for violence and strong language. Nothing graphic, and still a lot milder than the original Visual Novel - Note1: I am trying to improve so constructive critisizm and random comments are welcome. Note2: Be warned! Update rate will likely be slow. How slow, I can't say. Note3: I don't consider any side works in the franchise as cannon. So if, for some reason, Nero is summoned, do not riot when he turns out to be a burly, hairy caster. (That won't happen!)
