The next few days passed peacefully for Harry. He practised potions and prepared for his other exams. Arithmancy was actually something of an actual challenge, and he was finding that it took about as much time as all the other core subjects, sans potions, combined. It was also, on the other hand, incredibly useful. He was starting to see connec...
2024-01-23 14:52:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello, hello. After that weird time that was Christmas I've arrived back in Zürich and have started working through my seminar papers and writing responsibilities. Everything has been going as well as before I left, and I've been pumping out Harry Evans, Rattata and Video Game cultivator chapters at the appropriate pace to satisfy you all just ...
2024-01-19 08:30:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe day on which Joey was to face Surge did not start overly well. For one, it was raining, which forced him to leave the house with an umbrella, something that he hated. Secondly, despite quite an ardent search, he had not managed to find a third Pokemon for the gym battle. This meant that he would be facing search with an additional disadvanta...
2024-01-17 05:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHarry leaned back against the wall next to the defence against the dark arts class-room and reread the letter he'd received.
It was unfortunate that the werewolf attack occurred on the evening after which your story was coming out. It would have been front-page otherwise. It's still a victory however, and while the department wasn't th...
2024-01-15 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe hysterical exclamation that there was a monster on the loose would perhaps have suggested that Elder Flower and Jin would immediately run out to hunt said monster.
However, the statement was not actually that informative and inner disciple Ting was too scared to truly give them more information than that.
It was here that Jin got...
2024-01-09 06:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt was after another three weeks of tutelage from Elder Flower that Jin was standing in the mission room of the middle ring. Well, calling it tutelage was probably an overly enthusiastic way of describing it. They rarely met, and Flower simply directed his training, telling him what to focus on and giving him the opportunities to do so.
Th...
2024-01-06 21:28:32 +0000 UTC View PostJoey idly stretched his arms to the left and to the right as he exited Saffron onto route 7. He hadn't been here for a while, having spent a lot of time recently on route 8. In his limited experience, that was the place where the toughest trainers hung out, and he'd been missing out on some ass-kickings recently. Of his own ass, that was.

2024-01-05 12:57:50 +0000 UTC View PostHarry was not unused to going to sleep in a state of anxious waiting. He'd lived more than thirty years now, and he'd experienced it all. Going to sleep a day before a medical operation, dreaming about having one's sides cut open to remove a swollen appendix. Going to sleep with a family member in the ER after a horrendous car-crash, knowing tha...
2024-01-03 10:18:15 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't really talked about it much, but my forearm got pretty badly cramped a few months ago and hasn't really recovered perfectly. I went to the physiotherapist today, actually the physiotherapist for the national football team, my gf's dad is a sports producer so that's the connection, and he told me that I do the repetitive motion of writi...
2023-12-29 17:08:26 +0000 UTC View PostAs the deadline for the next gym battle approached, Joey nervously started to consider the possibility that he would be facing Surge with just two Pokemon. No matter how open he tried to be to the idea of a new team member, he never quite managed to meet a pokemon that really fit his idea of what a professional battler should act like. Unwilling...
2023-12-24 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAight aight aight. I see Sabrina has won the vote, quite convingly. I will now start working on her interlude chapter. I'll likely combine it into the story around the time of Joey's third gym-battle against Surge. Which is going to be around chapter 25-26 I'd say. I will start another poll for the first chapter of a potential story after ...
2023-12-23 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHarry had been standing disillusioned in the corner of the room in Hogwarts that had been used to teach ball-room dancing centuries ago for approximately fifteen minutes when a beetle finally flew in through a window that he'd opened, and transformed into Rita Skeeter. The reporter stumbled in her high heels from the transformation, likely encum...
2023-12-21 14:04:35 +0000 UTC View Post"All right rattata, show me how far you've gotten with dig," Joey said.
After having gotten their asses kicked by Lorelei last week, and hadn't that been a blast, they had quickly fallen into a routine which they were growing increasingly familiar with as they grew as a team. They trained in the mornings, did missions when good ones were p...
2023-12-17 10:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWalking up the stairs to the owlery, as cracked and covered with mouse bones as they were, Harry wondered about what Dumbledore had done with the information he'd provided him. He day-dreamed that the man had already gotten rid of all the Horcruxes, went to Albania, and banished the shade hopefully wandering around there somewhere. Of course the...
2023-12-15 10:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostJust brought out the first chapter prototype of "Great Teacher Iruka," which means its time to vote for what the next pokemon interlude will be. After I write that we'll go for a new prototype again. Then a Harry Evans interlude.
You guys have mostly helped me narrow it down to four possibilities, and now it's time to choose.
2023-12-14 12:42:20 +0000 UTC View PostAN: This took a while, I know. But, I decided that if I'm already writing a conceptual first chapter for the story y'all voted on in the end, I might as well experiment a bit. It's why it took that long.

After having given Dumbledore the information, he obviously couldn't use the room of requirement, which is where he'd been spending most of his time in his second year at Hogwarts. However, his magical sense was developed enough that he could train it just by walking around the m...

It was in that pos...

Harry was sitting down in a closed and thus dark broom-cupboard. He'd been here for a few minutes, but expected that his wait would end soon. As expected at some point he noticed a presence at the door and a tenuous knock resounded through the wood.

2023-12-02 11:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHarry was in his dorm, writing a letter, scratching out passages, inserting new ones, remembering all the minutiea he could remember. He wasn't writing to his family, which was the usual reason he had for writing letters while at Hogwarts. No, he was writing down his so-called future knowledge. What Voldemort's Horcruxes were, their location, ho...
2023-11-28 09:30:49 +0000 UTC View PostOf course, simply because Elder Flower had so graciously offered Jin help that even core disciples would have likely fought to receive; this did not mean that there were not at first several other things to handle.
After all, as surreal as it still felt, Jin had just passed the examination process for his ascension to being an inner discip...

Harry was doodling on the mock test that Vector had given the class. For once it wasn't because he'd solved the entirely quite easily and now had extra-time until the time ran out. Oh, sure, such had been the case for nine of the ten questions, but the te...

For all intents and purposes, things had been going rather well for Harry Evans in recent times. Having received private instructions and promises of such from very talented individuals indeed, all evidence pointed to his future development as a very powerful and skilled wizard. However, a new m...
2023-11-18 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHaving stepped out of the eastern gate, Joey breathed in the fresh air of the pine trees and enjoyed the wide panoramic view that he got of the route. Saffron lay on a little incline, which meant that he could see quite far.
There were a surprisingly high amount of trainers mingling everywhere, having spontaneous battles, or training their...

Simply standing there and looking at the female Elder, as she held the illusion Room in her hands and looked at it with a blank gaze was an excruciating experience. And it wasn't only Jin who started getting anxious feet from the waiting, as after a few minutes even Elder Lung and Elder Qin started exchanging confused looks.
