Why are you here. Why are you reading this.

Don't take it seriously, Just enjoy Reading :)

Hearing a woman's voice that came out of nowhere, DX turned around, only to see Xiao Lei for the first time. Her son was sitting on the bench outside the room while reading a textbook. 
Xiao Lei looked at DX and smiled sheepishly as she said, "I'll take care of them. Besides, I'm free once I drop my son back at his school. It's hard for Han Ye to go on a date, so I'd feel bad if he had to cancel because of this. After all, he was supposed to meet her in the morning, but he postponed it to the afternoon because of my appointment." 
"Xiao Lei..." Han Ye shook his head. "It's fine, really."  
Xiao Lei ignored him and continued to talk to DX, "President Du, I know how to take care of kids. Don't worry about it." 
DX frowned. He was not too keen on having a stranger taking care of HIS kid. However, this was the same stranger who would be carrying his niece or nephew. Talking about niece or nephew, DX realized something. All of them were in the hospital at the same time. This couldn't have been a coincidence, right?
And so, he asked, "Did you come here to do a blood test today?" 
"Yes, President Du."
"How was it?" 
"Twins!" Callum interrupted. He looked at his brother, and with his arm draped over Luo Guangying's shoulder, he said to DX proudly, "We are going to have twins!"
"We might be having twins..." Luo Guangying corrected him. He then looked up at DX and explained, "Phillip said that the hCG level seems to indicate the presence of a twin. However, it's hard to confirm for now. However, she is indeed pregnant with your future niece or nephew." 
DX nodded. He then placed his hands on their shoulders, one on Callum's shoulder and one on Luo Guangying's shoulder. With a slight smile, he said, "Congratulations! I know that you guys would be good fathers! Not as good as me, but you'll do great just as well." 
Callum smirked while looking at Luo Guangying, who smiled back at him. The latter then looked at Xiao Lei briefly before saying to DX, "Xiao Lei is a good person. She will take good care of Little Monkey and Yuan Yuan." 
DX turned to look at Xiao Lei for a few seconds before he said, "You will go with Han Ye. He can have the date at the mall while you look after the kids."
DX was slightly wary about her, but if Han Ye was there, he would feel a lot more reassured. When he glanced at Han Ye, the man knew what he was thinking about and so, he nodded.  
As for Xiao Lei, she smiled brightly while nodding. "Alright then, President Du." 
....
Once Han Ye strapped the toddlers down in their baby seats, which was given by the driver who sent An Qiyan and Old Madam Du over, he then sent Xiao Zhihao back to his school. The entire time, the two toddlers refused to look at each other, and both of them hugged themselves tightly while looking out the windows. 
Even when Xiao Zhihao, who sat between them, tried to cheer them up, they just ignored him. When he tried to poke their chubby cheeks, they even slapped his hands away before glaring away. 
"It's fine, Zhihao. Just leave them be," Han Ye said when he saw what was happening in the backseat. As long as the toddlers were not screaming their heads off, he was fine with them sulking for a while. "I'll deal with them later. How's your preparation going?"
Xiao Zhihao groaned slightly as he covered his face with the textbook. "I don't think I can get an A for French. This is too difficult!" 
Han Ye laughed softly. "It's fine as long as you score As for your other subjects, right?" 
"Yeah... Provided that I don't get below B." He sighed loudly. 
"You can do it!" Xiao Lei said as she turned around slightly to face her son. While holding a fist in front of her chest, she said, "Believe in yourself!" 
Xiao Zhihao looked at his mother's optimistic face and nodded. "Erm! I can do it! It's only French! I can't be beaten down by something like this if I want to do great things in the future!" 
He then reached forward to fistbump her. 
"That's my son!" 
Han Ye smiled. While driving Xiao Zhihao to Imperial Secondary dorm, he wondered what the boy's life would be if he were born in the comfort of the Fan Family. With his intellect, he could have achieved more in life by now. Like Lyle and Jack, who had won a cabinet full of awards collectively, either in studies, arts, music, or sports and martial arts. 
Then he wondered if the boy would even exist if Fan Wushuang's parents did not die and she did not disappear suddenly. 
"Based on how bratty she was back then, I doubt that any guys would even dare to get near her," he thought before chuckling to himself. 
That soft chuckle of his caused Xiao Lei to look at him with a suspicious gaze. With the way he averted his glance when she looked up at the rearview mirror earlier, she had a feeling that the chuckle had something to do with her. 
After dropping Xiao Zhihao off, Xiao Lei noticed that Han Ye was driving straight toward the direction of the mall, and she asked curiously in a low voice, "Don't you have to pick up your girlfriend?"
The reason why she was talking in a low voice was that both the toddlers at the back had fallen asleep. It seemed that they were both tired out from their pent up anger as well as all the crying they did before Han Ye took them away and strapped them down in their car seats. 
"Daddy..." Little Monkey mumbled in her sleep as tears fell from her eyes. There was a tiny frown in between her brows, and one of her hands was reaching for something in the air. She was having a nightmare that her daddy was walking away from her after she threw a tantrum. "No, I be good..." 
Xiao Lei immediately reached over to the back to pat her little knee as she said in a soft, gentle voice, "You're safe... Your daddy will be back soon..." 
The toddler moved around in her seat a little before slowly go back to sleep. 
Once Little Monkey settled back to her sleep, Xiao Lei turned back to face the front as she sighed softly. "She must have felt something was wrong earlier. Kids are sensitive like that, you know." 
"En." Han Ye looked at the rearview mirror to make sure that the toddlers were fast asleep before he said, "President Du said that he had to leave her behind earlier when they took the chopper, and she was crying her head off. He had never left her side when she cried like that."
Xiao Lei smiled. "He loves her a lot. I can tell."
"Yeah... She's everyone's baby." 
Xiao Lei looked at Han Ye. She stared at him for so long that he felt uncomfortable. 
Recalling her earlier question, he then thought it was about it, and so, he replied, "What? Angie is driving herself there if you want to know. I've sent her a message earlier." 
Xiao Lei shook her head. WIth a somewhat awkward expression, she said, "I know what happened. Madam President Du... I mean, Kai Xin told me. And Tian Le told me a little as well."
Han Ye glanced at her briefly before turning his eyes back on the road. He knew what she was talking about. Han Ye suddenly said, "Xiao Lei, in a few weeks, I'm going to put Yuexue's ash in the Du Family's columbarium."
"En." She already knew this. After all, she was responsible for his schedule. 
"Would you like to go with me?" he asked while keeping his eyes straight ahead. He had wanted to ask her this for a while now since he was sure that she would blame herself if she could not go for it. 
Upon hearing his question, Xiao Lei narrowed her eyes at him. She was unsure why he asked her, someone who was supposedly a stranger to Wu Yuexue. However, she did not want to discuss this in case he changed his mind. It had been on her mind for a while now, but she did not know how to ask without causing any suspicion.
"Had he known..." she thought while staring at him. After a while, she shook her head and dismissed the possibility of him knowing. And so, she nodded and replied, "Yes, please. I want to pay my respect to your wife. I'm sure she's a great woman." 
"The greatest..." He smiled. "Oh, since we are on this topic, in about two weeks, I have to go to City F."

~ Los Angeles, the Tuscan Villa ~
March 21
11:01 AM
JoAnna and Sarah are sitting on the terrace with Sophia and watching four kids running around the large tree while trying to catch Hero, Bella, and Luna.
The three German Shepherds are fully grown with a majestic appearance of their shiny black fur, but in front of four toddlers who want to pull their ears and tails, the dogs are running for cover while trying to preserve their dignity. The dogs are regretting that they followed their mommy when she asked them if they want to come for a ride. If only their daddy is here, he would not allow them to suffer this mistreatment! The only comforting thing is that the toddlers are not very fast and that they run out of steam quickly.
Lia celebrated her third birthday more than a month ago, and she is the leader of the human-pack of toddlers. Adam is two years old and he is following his sister like she is a goddess. Alice and Jayden are easily agreeing with whatever their big-cousin Lia commands. Lia is enjoying the glory of being the oldest kid in her generation.
Three sisters laughed and watched the commotion in the garden while sipping tea and snacking on fresh pastries that Felix made.
Two nannies are sitting at a nearby table, ready to take care of anything the kids might need. One nanny came with JoAnna, and she takes care of Alice and Jayden, and the other nanny is for Lia and Adam. Since kids have playdates often, the two women got to know each other, and they are getting along well.
"How are you doing?" Sarah asked Sophia who was rubbing her huge belly.
"Good. One more month to go but I have a feeling this one will come sooner." Sophia said with a gentle smile on her face.
"Did something happen?" JoAnna asked Sarah with concern in her voice. She saw that Sarah's mood fell.
"I got my period today." Sarah said dejectedly.
JoAnna made a face. "Come on. You stopped taking pills two or three weeks ago? Don't tell me that you expected to get pregnant right away? You know that healthy couples take on average six months to conceive a child."
Sophia hummed in agreement.
Sarah snorted and looked at JoAnna. "Yeah, easy for you to say. You got pregnant as soon as you stopped the pills and this one…" Sarah gestured toward Sophia. "This one is getting pregnant no matter what contraception she is using."
Sophia frowned in outrage. "Hey! It's not me! It's Felix. He is a freak."
"I heard that!" Felix grumbled from the door. He was carrying three large glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice for Sophia and her sisters, and four small ones with straws and plastic lids for the kids, but now he is having second thoughts. Why would he give healthy beverages to women who are talking smack behind his back?
Felix looked at Sophia with disapproval obvious in his expression. "You used to call me mighty. And now I'm a freak?"
Sophia glared at Sarah and whispered: "Do you see what you are doing?"
Sophia turned to Felix and smiled sweetly. "Ma chéri, you are always mighty, and I would never call you a freak. It's just that you are so mighty that it's freaky sometimes." 
Felix raised his eyebrow suspiciously while arranging juice on the table. He was not sure how to respond, but he knows that Sophia is pregnant, so this is not the right time to bicker. How can she talk like getting her pregnant is his fault? The fact that he can impregnate her easily is his pride, and there is nothing wrong with it! 
"Should I call the kids to come and get juice?" Felix asked while looking at the little ones who are chasing after the dogs.
"Let them be, they are having fun. We will call them in a bit." Sophia responded.
Felix lowered his head and kissed Sophia's belly before going for her lips. "Call me if you need something…" Felix murmured into Sophia's lips. "I will be in the workshop, so that you girls can talk."
Sophia smiled. "OK."
"Eat more fruits, it's good for my baby..." Felix reminded Sophia while gently rubbing her belly.
JoAnna waited for Felix to be out of the sight before comforting Sarah: "Don't worry. I'm sure you will be pregnant soon, if that is what you wish. But give it some time. On the other hand, if you suspect that something is wrong, we can do tests, but that will increase the possibility that Aiden finds out about it, and you said that you want to surprise him… I remember how delighted Jeff was when I told him about the pregnancy."
"No, no tests." Sarah responded quickly. "I want to surprise him. I know that he is looking forward to this and now that I decided it's time, I want to make it very special. I was thinking to have a surprise romantic dinner, with flowers and music and then I break the news to him. Maybe I can get him a glass of wine and a juice for me, and when he asks why I'm not drinking the same, I give him a series of hints." Sarah ended with a dreamy smile on her face while imagining an array of expressions Aiden might make.
"That sounds nice…" JoAnna said and her eyes flashed when she remembered… "How was your trip to Romania?"
Sarah was surprised by this sudden change of topic. "Fine. Nothing unusual. We did a tour of our company, gave an afternoon off to all employees while we upgraded the security systems, my team is doing well and Ade and Hande participated in hack-battles."
"Anything else?" JoAnna continued probing.
Sarah pursed her lips while thinking about what she forgot to mention. It's obvious that JoAnna is asking about something specific. "We did one mission; it was a success… Aaron is getting along well with Vega… Attila and Milica are super-cute. Milica can walk now."
Sarah ran out of ideas and JoAnna was still looking at her expectantly. "What?"
"Did anything ELSE important happen?" JoAnna asked.
Sarah's eyes darted aimlessly while she tried to come up with something, but she was not successful. "No. Can you tell me what is on your mind?"
JoAnna bobbed her head in slow motion while thinking about how to start the topic. "You returned last night. Right?"
"Yes." Sarah confirmed and waited for JoAnna to continue. What's with all the dramatic pauses and building up expectations?
"I've got a call Hande. Last night." JoAnna said mysteriously.
"And?" Sarah was losing her patience.
"She asked me about protection."
Sarah blinked. "Protection, from what?"
"From unwanted pregnancy." JoAnna said flatly.
Sarah thought that she is going to pass out. "WHAT!?"
JoAnna stifled a laugh. "Hande told me that she and Ade did it and she does not want to get pregnant, so she wanted me to give her tips on how to protect herself."
Sarah's face darkened and her hands balled into fists. "When I get home, I am going to strangle Ade…" Sarah squeezed through her teeth and then snapped at JoAnna: "Why are you laughing?"
Sophia agreed that it's not funny. Hande is only twelve years old! And Ade is fourteen. Aren't they too young? How can JoAnna not take this seriously? Does she know something they don't?

Excerpt from the novel...

"Do you believe in destiny?", Sarah broke the silence. 
"Destiny?" Aiden didn't expect such a question. 
"Yes. The thing that is meant to happen, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. And when it does happen, everything feels right." 
"Why would you ask me such a thing?" 
"Until a few weeks ago I would say that there is no such thing as destiny. That we are all masters of our lives and that everything depends on our actions, or lack of it. But I can't help but wonder: why did I not push you away? ... Why does it feel like everything will be OK as long as we are together? ... You are a piece of me that I never knew was missing. Is this destiny?" 
"Mmm... if that is destiny, then I approve it.", Aiden lightly kissed Sarah's shoulder and rested his chin on it.

Liz smiled at the sight of their friends coming up on the platform. It was a great circle of tight friends and she enjoyed it very much.
Seeing toddlers getting excited over the small animal which now ran for his life, Liz thought that maybe they should hide the pup. Luckily for the puppy, Quentin came to the rescue by holding it high so toddlers couldn't reach it. Toddlers were complaining but they stopped when Luke started telling them that they should be gentle toward animals. Really, he is like a young adult and Liz loved that Mila was listening to Luke intently.  
"Did you find out the gender?", Mia's question made Liz turn to her.
"Mhm… it's a boy…", Liz responded with a smile.
"Oh, great! Ethan will have a play buddy!", Mia exclaimed.
"Ethan? I thought you will name him George."
Mia waved at Liz like that is not important. "George was last week. Now I like Ethan better."
Liz giggled and shook her head. Mia is silly and always changes the name of her baby-boy according to her mood.
"This arrived for you.", Max said and handed a fancy golden envelope to Liz.
Liz understood that it might be something important, so she opened it. "Oh…"
"What is it?", Mia asked while craning her neck to see.
Max sat next to Liz and put a piece of pineapple in his mouth. Since their vacation to Hawaii, four years ago, pineapples are Max's favorite fruit. Liz didn't miss his mischievous smile directed her way. Ah, when Emilia sleeps off, Max and Liz will have fun.
"It's a wedding invitation. Dr. Snow is getting married.", Liz said and put the invitation back in the envelope before handing it back to Max.
Mia's face darkened. "He is inviting you to his wedding after what he had done? Who is the unlucky lady? Did he stalk this one also? We should send her a warning that she might end up drugged and kidnapped if Dr. Snow meets a woman like Irene."
Liz patted Mia's hand, indicating to her to calm down.
During her pregnancy with Emilia, Liz's nightmares stopped completely and the reality of becoming a mother changed Liz's perspective on life.
Liz didn't want to talk about Irene and Dr. Snow. Those two caused too much trouble for Max and Liz, but comparing them would be unfair. Max was the one who decided on Irene's punishment and Liz gave Dr. Snow another chance. Liz didn't regret it. After the kidnapping incident, Dr. Snow gave up his career as a flashy orthopedic surgeon and since then his skills saved many lives. In a way, he is atoning for what he did, and Liz is pleased that he found his purpose.
"Dr. Snow is writing me an email every week even though I'm not responding. He met this woman during his work in Africa. She is a nurse, and they are settling in Australia. I believe that he found his happiness."
"You sound like you have forgiven him…", Brianna said. She arrived on time to hear that Dr. Snow sent a wedding invitation to Liz and everything after that.
"Forgiving and forgetting are two different things, Bri. Hating him was only hurting me, and I let go of that burden a long time ago. I have no feelings for him, good or bad.", Liz responded to Brianna. "I have my life, my family, and my friends, and there is no space for negativity."
Max wrapped his arms around Liz. "I am proud of you, my love."  
Mia and Brianna rolled their eyes and shook their heads. They never got used to the public display of affection between Max and Liz which often happens during a serious conversation. Like right now.
The truth is that Max wanted to punish Dr. Snow, at least a little bit, but Liz asked Max to let it go. Liz told Max that everyone deserves a chance to fix their wrongs. Irene passed on many chances she had, showing them that she was getting more malicious every time she returned into their lives, while Dr. Snow took his opportunity to make the world a better place for many of his patients. Liz didn't care if Dr. Snow did that to make himself better or because he really cared about all those people. As long as he was out of their lives, she was happy because she didn't have the capacity to worry about others.
Liz leaned into Max's embrace and smiled. She was proud of him as well. Before they met, Max had a horrible reputation as a fickle playboy, but since then he changed drastically. Max is now a successful businessman, a doting husband, a wonderful father... and when Emilia is sleeping or out of the house, Max turns into a fiery lover.
Max made sure that every first weekend in the month he and Liz take time off from everything and focus on each other. Madeline and Nathan are happy to have their granddaughter for that weekend so that Max and Liz can enjoy their privacy.
Liz is on cloud nine and she couldn't be happier.
"Huggy!", Mila screamed while abandoning alphabet blocks and Luke, and she dashed toward her parents. Whenever Mila saw Max and Liz hugging, she had to squeeze in-between.
Max reacted quickly and caught Mila before she reached them. "Don't run at your mommy. There is a baby inside her belly, and you need to be careful…"
Mila blinked as her little legs still flailed in the air. "Baby boy."
Max nodded in approval and explained: "That is your brother, and we all need to take care of him until he is big enough to take care of himself."
"And me…", Mila added.
Max chuckled. "And you."
He put Mila to sit in his lap and he and Liz wrapped their arms around each other with Mila in the middle.
The three of them smiled and enjoyed the moment.
"I came to play with you, and you made a mess. Who will clean this?", Luke said sternly from the side while pouting at Mila.
"Coming!", Mila shouted and leaped from Max's lap to go and play with Luke.
Liz and Max exchanged glances and looked after Mila who does not listen to anyone other than Luke. Will their Emilia and Luke be a couple when they grow up? That is a possibility. They mentioned this to Quentin and Brianna and the latter couple had no objections.
Max pulled Liz closer and she leaned her head on his shoulder. They enjoyed the moment in the oasis above it all with their friends and family under the majestic cherry tree that was in full bloom.
– THE END –

Excerpt from the story...

Max was confused. "Aren't you appalled by my words? Offended? Why are you still here and not running to your place?"
Liz shrugged. "Last night you promised no lies. And I hope that you are comfortable enough with me to say what is on your mind. No matter if you are gay or not, the fact that I feel safe with you will not change. Unless you do something to prove me wrong."
Max was surprised by this logic. But then he remembered the deal they made: he will not lie, no games and he will treat her with respect… and she believes him.
"You want to know what is on my mind?" He decided to try his luck: "I want to kiss you."
Liz frowned for a second while thinking about how to respond. Then she craned her neck and pointed at her cheek. "Here."
Max was not sure if he should laugh or cry. "That is not the kiss I was going for."
"That is the only one you will get. Take it or leave it."
Max is not silly to miss an opportunity. "I will take whatever you are willing to give me."

...

This is a heartwarming story that will make you all warm and fuzzy while you laugh and sigh...

Check out my other novels: 'Is this Destiny?' and 'Amara - Reunion'

I wake up the next morning and I am hungry so I try to call my mother, but all I can do is cry. 
10 minutes later I am fed and happy and left on my own for now. 
My dad came by and said that he got to go to work. He is working as a hit wizard, which should be identical to a special agent. Mom is a Healer but she stays at home with my grandparents for now.

I try to meditate and it takes two minutes to get into my library. I want to have the ideal growth for my magic and body so I search for books that describe the best way and age to start working on my magic. God was generous and put a search function on my library, which means I just have to think about a subject area or a title or an author and a shelf with books to it appears. Very handy. 

First I search for books about magic for children at a young age. After reading for some days I found that most books say that children shouldn't be using magic before the age of three because my body and magic are still harmonizing here and it´s complete to 100% on my third birthday. Some children need more time some less but that is uncommon. When I read this I was a bit disappointed because I still couldn't practice magic for three years now.

So I did a little digging and reading in my library. After one and a half years I found an interesting idea, if I let my body flow with magic on my birthdays exactly at my birth time, this should help with magic without a magic wand and make me some Immun to magic, it should be forgotten because if not everybody would be doing this. Unfortunately, this is only possible five times and only on the third, seventh, eleventh, thirteenth and seventeenth birthdays, after that my body should conduct magic better, like some metals conduct electricity better than others. The protection from spells will unfortunately not become thick, because only weak spells can be fended off and/or resisted. So this will only be used to look cool. I am also looking into rituals but most of them are for my eleventh birthday and after. 

So my parents are miraculously still alive and working. Although they don't have to do so, as I could deduce from our environment, we have more than enough money, so they probably do for contact with other people and to build connections. I have decided to ask my parents about my time of birth, but this is difficult because I cannot talk perfectly yet. But since most toddlers with 2.5 to 3 can already halfway communicate their thoughts, I think that with my previous experience I will have this body a little further. I am also studying magic and how to use it because the first time I have to use it will be on my third birthday and I can´t use it before. 

The rest of my time I try to be a normal baby but that doesn´t prove to be difficult because I am curious about everything around me like every other toddler. Last week my parents went to Lyall Lupin and Hope Howells wedding, at first, I was surprised that my parents would go to their wedding but apparently, they were classmates. Nothing big happened the rest of the year except for the birth of Sirius on November third. 

Time flys by and more Characters from Harry Potter were born including Snape, Lilly, Lupin, and James. But that isn´t interesting to me for now. 

The last days before my 3rd birthday I was together with my gran Josi as I´ve come to call her, she gives me everything I want and I always have something to eat because being in the library takes a toll on my young body. I could weasel my birthtime out of my grandmother, I was born 8 pm, with that I was set. 
We take a walk through our villa. My grandparents live with us in this huge villa. We have 2 ley lines under our property, 2 less than under Hogwarts, but only five of us live here. We still have hundreds of bedrooms and dozens of work areas, my family has always been busy with runes and potions. Our library is huge, but I will probably only visit it as a cover since I own my own complete library. 

It´s my third birthday and my parents have invited some political friends who have kids themself from all sides dark, light, grey and Albus Dumbledore is there as well, maybe he´s trying to get some families on the light side or just looking at potential students who know what he is thinking. Armando Dippet is there as well, not much was said about him in the books but he looks kind but stern and powerful. I think there are only 5 years till he gives up the headship of Hogwarts in favor of Dumbles.

Enough political mingling of toddlers, it's 8 pm and I'm just using my magic for the first time, it feels a little warm throughout my body and I light up slightly. Nothing else happens but I think that I have come now more in tune with the world.
 I try to use my magic now so I hold out my finger and whisper Lumos, my finger lights up but I can tell that it costs me a lot of ´magical power´ I can only cast it three times. I like to think, that me using my magic at exactly my birthtime has helped me feel my magic better and having started to turn my body in a wand(even if it won´t be as quick and powerful). 
 But reading so many books about magic I know that magic is like a muscle you work it and it grows, even in old age, but the more magic you have the slower it grows and the harder it is to empty it out. After emptying my magic out I fall asleep.

A rich middle aged man who is experiments with everything he gets his hands on. One experiment fails and he dies. He meets God and chooses to be reborn in the Harry Potter world. A new life with a million more experiments an a new force to master. With some advantages he starts his next adventure.


My redemption came from a place called Rowlett. The summer can be the busiest time for a public library, since many "Summer Reading Programs," generally take place to help encourage kids to read during the time away from school. The Rowlett Public Library was looking for a temporary, part-time library assistant to help ease the burden of all the excess foot traffic. Kids and their parents would come in flocks and droves to pick up books and weekly prizes for reading. The number of patrons per day doubled what it was during the winter. 
I didn't care that the post was only for four months, and that it was 23 miles away down I-30. It was $15 an hour for 25 hours per week, and that was a bounty compared to the previous year of fifty bucks here and there. When I interviewed, I tried to apply the lessons I had learned from some of my more disastrous interviews and tried to appear eager, competent, and intelligent. I didn't just want a job; I wanted one in a physical place, where I had a set schedule and had to get up every morning to be somewhere on time. 
I got it. It was heaven. I would work as a combined reference and circulation assistant. It was a small library, much smaller than Garland had been, but I was ecstatic just to be in a library, with its book smells and tiny noisespeople tapping on keyboards, newspapers rustling, pencils scratching on homework. I threw myself into checking books in and out, sorting, doing the twice hourly "walkabouts," and giving away little prizes for kids who read. I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid. The library is a fun and encouraging place to be. The library is cool. 
I loved getting to know the families who came in regularly, helping the people on computers apply for jobs (I wanted to tell them, "Just keep at it. I know what it's like to cast out a thousand fishing lines, hoping for a single bite."), or even helping someone find a DVD that was misplaced. 
Even the most aggravating days were nothing compared to the stress of stripping or being a nanny. I loved seeing the tiny toddlers look in wonder at the bubbler machine at the end of Story Time; I loved the rhythm of every day: opening the doors, seeing the same guy in the same outfit come in to read the newspaper, then sit at the computer, joking and laughing with my coworkers and learning each person's humor. I loved hearing the children shriek and laugh at the puppets in the corner, and even loved explaining to exasperated patrons that this library was not a "shushing" library. It was so small that quite often the noise of the children's corner or Story Time would offend the people who thought that libraries should be sanctuaries of silence. (I informed them that behind the stacks was much quieter, and indeed it was.)

Diving into the world of exotic dancing, she has to navigate the murky moral waters of taking off her clothes for money. From wild champagne parties to private shows with high-rolling customers, she will start raking in the money...until the cost becomes too high. 


However, before the three men can continue their conversation, their wives appear at the door. "Dinner is ready," Molly proudly announced as the hostess.
The three men rise to their feet, while the toddlers run towards their mothers. Andromeda and Molly pick up their two-year old's, while Narcissa's slow-growing belly is still hidden by the folds of her gown. Lucius places a gentle kiss on his wife's hand earning a shy smile from Narcissa, and an envious look from Molly, who glared at her husband as if asking, "Why can't you be more romantic like that?"
Ted hugs his wife and daughter in his arms, while Arthur collects Bill from the table before they all make their way to the dining room. It was a medium-sized room with a good-sized table large enough to easily seat twelve individuals at a time. The dining room is moderately decorated with tasteful decorations thanks to the aid of Narcissa and Dromeda. They had taken Molly shopping one evening for furniture for her new home and had ensured that she purchased tasteful, but useful bits of furniture that would last for many years to come.
Seeing all the delicious food on the table, Ted says, "Ladies, you have outdone yourselves."
The three women flash smiles of pride at Ted, especially from his wife. Being the gentlemen that they are, they first pull out the chairs for their wives, before seating the children, and then themselves. With everyone properly seated, Molly glances at Arthur, who blinks foolishly for a second, before recalling he is the host for the evening.
Clearing his throat, Arthur a tad apprehensive, hoarsely says, "Thank you for joining us this evening in our humble home. We hope that there are many more such occasions to come. And-, and that as a family that we always remain whole. Now let us eat!"
Arthur quickly sits back down with a lobster-red face as Molly pats his hand and leans over to whisper, "You did good darling."
"Thank you, Mollywobbles," Arthur whispered back, before turning back to serve Bill first, before serving himself. He would serve Molly, but she would just snap at him otherwise. As such, he let her serve herself a plate of food and Charlie.
For a time, the only sound in the dining room is the soft chatter of voices and the clinking of silverware. When at last they had eaten all that they could, the men retired to the parlor with Bill, while the toddlers remained with the women. Once the men were gone, Andromeda and Molly gathered the dishes, while Narcissa was tasked to entertain the two toddlers. 
Both women laughed at the panicked expression of Narcissa. Wiping the tears of laugher from her eyes, Molly says, "Narcissa, you have a little one on the way. You must learn how to deal with children or else what will you do?"
Narcissa's face is mutinous for a moment as she mutters rebelliously under her breath, "That's what nanny house elves are for."
However, Molly's sharp ears heard Narcisa's words. "Narcissa Malfoy," Molly exclaimed as she put her hands on her hip to stare down at the younger woman.  "From what I know your mother took care of you quite often rather than just leaving your education to house elves. Aren't you going to do the same for your children?"
 A glint of fear and worry can be seen on the younger woman's face. Molly's face fills with sympathy as she says, "Narcissa, you won't be alone. You will have your mother, Andromeda, and me to help you. But you still need to practice dear before the baby comes."
"Yes, Molly," Narcissa said in a rather resigned tone of voice that caused Andromeda to chuckle loudly at her younger sister earning her a dark glower from Narcissa.
Abandoning Narcissa to the whims of the two children, Molly and Andromeda wash and put away food ensuring that a nice basket of leftovers would be sent back with Andromeda for Ted. Not that they could not have done the same for Narcissa, but Lucius would under no uncertain terms ever accept such a thing unless it was dessert. 
Lucius had a notorious sweet tooth that had come as quite a shock to Molly, but she always made sure to pack a small basket of desserts for the cool natured young man. Not that Lucius would ever admit to such a thing, but he always finished every single last dessert crumb on his plate whenever Narcissa returned from visiting Molly Weasley with fresh baked goods in hand. To be honest, it tickled Molly pink to know that the usually so collected young man enjoyed eating her desserts with such relish. As such she always baked an extra basket of desserts and goodies just for him.
 After having packed up everything, and pulled out a pie for dessert, and platted the slices, Andromeda and Molly served the men first and leaving the rest of the pie with them, before returning to the dining room with a slice of pie for the children and themselves.
Thankfully, Narcissa seemed to have survived her time with the children intact except for her pride. When the two women returned, they found Narcissa playing with the children on the floor. With a loud snort, Andromeda started to laugh at the usual polished image of her younger sister being so casually destroyed.
Narcissa flashed her older sister a cold sneer, before climbing to her feet as the two children eagerly rushed towards their mothers with their hands outstretched. They knew they would get dessert as they had been good. Mostly.
Full of outraged dignity, Narcissa pointedly ignores her sister's chortles and accepts a slice of pie with cold dignity. Molly hides her own grin and instead carefully seats Charlie on her lap to cut up a slice of pie for him into tiny pieces for him to be able to his fork to eat in order to eat without making too much of a mess. 
While the children happily chew their food, Molly, and the three women resume chatting. At one point, Molly says, "I have almost finished knitting a baby blanket for you, Narcissa. I'll have you come to look at once it's done for it's never too early to start preparing."
Narcissa flushes and pales all at the same time creating a rather strange contrast. Andromeda feeling bad for her younger sister changes the subject to scheduling their next tea date. The conversation continues until the children begin to grow sleepy at the growing late hour.
"I think it's time we go," Andromeda finally said as she picked up her sleepy daughter from the ground.
"Mm, yes, it is this little one's bedtime," Molly cooed to the tired figure of her son curled up sleepily in her arms.
Nodding her head in agreement Narcissa leads the way to the parlor room as the men rise to their feet and know it is time for them to leave. Lucius incredibly well-mannered as usually says, "Thank you for having us, Molly. It was an enjoyable evening."
"Of course, Lucius," Molly said with a warm smile. "We're family."
Lucius visibly startles at her words as an undisguised smirk appeared on Arthur's face. Before Lucius can think of anything to say, Molly hands the sleepy figure of Charlie to her husband and says, "I'll be back in just a jiff. I packed a basket of food for you, Ted, for lunch tomorrow. And a special goodie basket just for you, Lucius."
Ted earnestly thanks Molly as Lucius flushes a rather lovely shade of pink, before muttering his thanks to the amusement of everyone in the room. It was rather hard to rile the young pureblood up, but when they did manage to do so, it was rather funny to watch. It must be the strange and inexplicable human instinct to pull on the tiger's tail and see what happens.
Molly returned soon after with the two food baskets and handed one over to Andromeda, and the other to Narcissa. The Malfoy's and the Tonk's quickly left soon after having said their goodbye's. Closing the door firmly shut to their home, Arthur carries Charlie upstairs, while Molly leads Bill to brush his teeth before bed, before putting on his pajama's.
After having read Bill, a storybook, Molly, and Arthur left their dozing children, and carefully closed their door shut. With a tired sigh, Molly begins to undress for the night as Arthur pulls off his boots. "Thank you, Arthur," Molly murmured as she folded her clothes. "It was a lovely evening, and I appreciate the fact that you minded your temper."
"Malfoy wasn't that bad," Arthur admitted honestly out loud. "You wouldn't think it, but he's surprisingly naïve in the strangest of ways for being such a suave pureblood in society."
Molly nods as she pulls her dressing gown over her head, before saying, "Well, it wouldn't surprise me. From what Narcissa has told me is that Lucius's mother died in childbirth, and though Abraxas, may he rest in peace, dearly loved his son, but poor Lucius was largely raised by a nanny house elf. It wouldn't surprise me if he's largely clueless to do with the baby that is now on its way."
The husband and wife continue to chat until at long last, they go to bed, but elsewhere at Malfoy Manor a similar scene is occurring. The Malfoy couple were sitting in bed, while Lucius reviewed some documents while Narcissa read a romance novel about a witch in love with a wizard sea pirate. 
After a moment, Lucius puts down his documents and turns to gaze at his lovely wife. "Narcissa, do you think that we should have more of a proactive approach when raising our children?"
Narcissa carefully marks her page, before closing her novel shut. "I think that we should still employ a nanny house elf," Narcissa truthfully confessed. "But I would like to play and care for our child much as Andromeda and Molly do. I rather enjoyed playing with the two small children this evening. And though undignified in public, I do not see it being an issue in the privacy of our own home, Lucius."
"That is exactly what I thought," Lucius murmured in satisfaction like it had been his idea all along, before returning to glance down at the documents that he put down.
But before he can resume reading again, Narcissa idly remarks, "You have recently been getting along well with Arthur Weasley, Lucius. If I did not know any better, I would even dare to suggest that you are on friendly terms with each other."
Lucius mutters under his breath, "Preposterous," but does not vehemently protest like he normally used to do in the past.
With a Cheshire smile hidden and only known to herself, Narcissa returns to reading her novel wondering if the squib pirate would ravish the fair muggle maiden on the next page or would the witch protect the fair maiden and sacrifice herself in exchange? Either way, she could hardly wait to find out.

Before there ever was a boy that ever lived in a cupboard on Four Privet Drive, there was a similar boy in a far worse home that lived on Spinner’s End. We all know the tale of that abused boy who grew up to become a bitter spy. But not all tales end the same for in the many parallel worlds that exist in the universe there are far better endings, and equally as many worse ones. This is a tale of one such condemned universe that for better or for worse chooses to change its own fate at through the sacrifice of the bitter spy.

''I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE STONE IS! ALL OF US ARE INNOCENT! KILL ME IF YOU WANT TO, RELEASE THEM!'' Ember spat.
''You sure would be an excellent helper if I trained you, join my company and I will leave them,'' Bane said as his eyes darkened.
''Will you spare them?'' asked Ember gently.
Bane was suddenly stunned by the gentleness, but his heart was made of rock. A block of ice could melt but to break a stone it takes a lot of effort.
''I am a man of my words,'' Bane said.
''A DEVIL IS ALWAYS TEMPTING!'' saying this Ember took three-step backwards and threw fireballs at him.
Ember was stunned 'He also had a water shield.'
Bane's mocking laugh echoed around the room, Austin was struggling continuously to be released, but his efforts were going in vain. But the bond on his mouth broke.
''EMBER! STAY AWAY FROM HIM! SHOUT FOR HELP! SEND A FLOATING MESSAGE!'' Austin screamed.
''Austin...she whispered, even though they only met twice, Ember felt a weird kind of bond towards him.
Sensing something in her eyes and reading her brain, Bane smirked eyeing his prey.
''Dare to move from here, he will be burnt,'' Bane spoke with his wicked smile which was covered in his black mask.
''I WILL! YOU CAN'T EVEN BURN A SINGLE STRAND OF HIS HAIR!'' Ember provoked him.
''Don't do that Ember! DON'T PROVOKE HIM!'' Austin spoke.
Ember immediately sent a message but the person she first thought about was 'Jason.'
''It's been years since I met someone as stupid as you,'' saying this bane threw a gigantic fireball towards Austin.
Ember stood in front of Austin protecting him. As soon as the fire touched her body, it vanished.
Bane looked into her eyes for a moment and he felt a rare connection and he saw something that made him weak.
The first scene was a boy peacefully sitting on the bench looking at the sky when two toddlers approached him.
He stared at the baby girl who was wearing a pink dress and a baby boy wearing an orange t-shirt and navy-blue trousers, he smiled at them.
The baby girl who had brown eyes smiled back at him, while the baby boy with grey eyes was inspecting them.
''Princess! Nano!'' A girl with brown eyes and Ash-blonde hair approached the kids.
''I am extremely sorry[bowing her head] they are quite the trouble-makers,'' the girl apologized.
Finding the girl very familiar the boy asked ''Are you the princess of Elementsl land?''
The girl froze when she heard that, ''No, no, you must be mistaken,'' saying this she held the toddlers hands and walked away.
Next scene.
The same boy, now it seemed as if he was a teen.
His silky brown hairs was messy as he was on a flying carpet. The girl was also next to him her elbow-lengthed hair tied in a bun, she had pale skin and was thin. Her eyes was closed and he held her hands assuring her.
''Ave, open your eyes. You won't fall,'' the boy assured her.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and panicked.
''No more going back, we have to get rid of this fear right now,'' the boy spoke gently.
Scene change.
Now the same girl was woman, her brown eyes were widened, clutching her chest and her stomach region she spoke ''Don't do this to me,''
''Ave, things are actually very complicated and you don't deserve me!'' the brown haired man spoke without blinking his eyes.
''We can talk things...
The man cut her off ''Damn it! Why don't you understand!'' saying this he left shutting the door.                         ****************************************************************************
Ember didn't know what she was seeing but Bane knew exactly what it was and he started to feel weak.
Seizing this opportunity with all her might Ember used all the four powers, it emerged from her thin fingers and bright light spread all over the room blinding everyone and a voice came from the light.
''I am sorry,'' a extremely gentle voice, it was a woman's voice. Ember had different emotions hearing the voice.
''Ahhhhh!'' Bane's painful voice was heard before the light went out and Ember fainted.
The door flung open ''BEI!'' Charles screamed seeing Ember who was very pale than her usual self.
The others followed behind him and everybody gasped seeing the bodies of children lying on the floor.
''Make way!'' Sophia ordered dashing into the room.
Seeing that Austin was awake she untied him, Martha came running to her soon tears flowing from her eyes.
Sophia did the same to Kamila and she gained back her conciousness.
Everybody slowly opened their eyes.
''What are all of you doing in this dark room?'' Adam asked suspiciously, as far as he remembered only he and Sed was in this place.
''You don't remember anything?'' Austin asked while clearing his tears.
''Charlie why are you crying? EMBER! Did she faint once again faint from not taking her food properly?'' asked Sed.
Sensing something was wrong Sophia spoke ''Can all of you please leave the room except for Jade?''
All of the guests nodded their head and walked away with the kids.
''Mom, I want to stay,'' said Austin stubbornly.
''You are so exhausted...
Cutting off Martha he spoke ''Mom, Prof. and Ember needs me, I am the witness I know what happened,''
''Yes, Mrs Smith, please let him accompany us, is there a free room anywhere?'' Sophia asked politely.
''You can take this room,'' Martha said pointing towards the opposite room.
''Thank you,'' 
And Martha left.
Sophia carried Ember in her arms while Jade opened the door.
''Jade, please can you asses her,'' Sophia asked.
''Sure dear,'' replied Jade.
Jade was the mother of the twins Ella and Emma.  Used to work as a 'royal doctor' before starting her own hospital. Senior and mentor of Dr.Selina and Dr.Nickalus.
''Prof, Bane was here,'' Austin whispered.
Sophia was shocked beyond comparison, being Ember's godmother she had an intiutaion about danger but this was beyond dangerous.
Austin narrated the whole incident controlling his tears.
Sophia hugged him tight and spoke ''Good job! You are very brave!''
''Do you want me to erase this particular memory?'' asked Sophia with concern because she didn't want the boy to suffer.
Breaking their hug Austin spoke ''No! I want to remember this, for my whole life. I want to remember Ember's bravery her powers and everything. I want to remember the way she protected me,'' 
Sophia smiled and patted his head. ''No one should know about this, you can tell it to your parents but to no one else,''
''Sophia, the girl is in shock, it will atleat take an hour before she opens her eyes,''
