Why Did Dumbledore Hire Lockhart

They say every villain is the hero of their story… They are wrong! There is no such thing as heroes and villains, there is just evil. Evil, cruelty, that’s all I know, that's the only thing the world has shown me… Maybe I am wrong… Just maybe there is more to this world, other than the evil and cruelty I was forced to endure, but that doesn’t really matter anymore. A man is a mirror of the world he has been exposed to… Since I have seen the greatest evil the world has to offer, it is only natural I show the world evil in return. Hello there, I am Lucius Blackwell, let me tell you why I became the greatest villain of all time…

"Be my Empress Selena..." His emerald eyes looked at her with a pleading look. She started to soften after seeing him plead so earnestly but she reminded herself that she didn't want this! She didn't want to be an Empress! Most importantly he lied and then disappeared! Now he has the audacity to come looking for her! "Get out." She pointed at the door and then at him. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards himself. "You can't get rid of me. You know how stubborn I am." Ming Yue was an ordinary office worker when she went into a novel she used to read, a steamy romance between Clara, the innocent illegitimate daughter of a count and the cold Northern Duke. Was she the heroine? No. Was she a side character? No. She was the damned villainess everyone hated! Being a former doormat she decided to embrace the villainhood in this life and live life on her terms. A leisurely life was what she wanted, maybe face-slapping her ex-fiance, the Northern Duke every now and then... But that all changed when she met him... Alex. She hired him to be her partner, but he intended to make that contract last a lifetime. She had no room to say no because he was the Crown Prince! Soon to be the Emperor! This is my entry for the Cupid's Quill contest, please support it, thank you!

Savannah Moretti has enough problems without adding “workplace crush” to the mix. Ryan Hartwell—her annoyingly smug, Greek-god-looking colleague—has been her sworn nemesis since day one. She can deal with his snarky comments, unsolicited advice, and the way his stupid blue eyes seem to see right through her. What she can’t deal with? Her traitorous brain constantly imagining him shirtless. Or, worse, helpful. With her youngest sister’s wedding only a month away, her anxiety skyrockets to new heights at the thought of enduring yet another round of her family’s relentless interrogation about her (nonexistent) love life. Again. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and when Ryan, of all people, offers to be her plus-one for the week-long island wedding, Savannah is too cornered to say no. It’s just one week. A harmless fake-dating arrangement. What’s the worst that could happen? Besides Ryan force-feeding her lobster rolls... or making her question everything she thought she knew about him—and herself?

The story of a men accompanied by the last survivors of human kind, fighting battles until their last breaths. As time passes, only he remains able to keep swinging his sword. Why keep fighting, if there is nothing more to protect? Why keep struggling, if there is no more hope? But he still chose to swing his fists and slash with his sword, and at the very end...

I never had any friends. Yes, there were people I called friends, but deep down, I knew they didn’t truly care about me, and I didn’t care much for them either. So, I did what I thought was right—I pushed them all away. I convinced myself that being alone was better, and for a long time, I didn’t hate it. But as much as I loved being alone, I didn't want to be lonely. I also wanted someone and something special—a real bond with someone I could call my Best Friend. I wanted to care, to be cared for in return. Then, against all odds, something I believed to be impossible happened. I found that person. For the first time, I cared for someone. I believed that I had found what I was looking for. But as time passed, I was forced to realize the cruel truth I had been too blind to see. Something I had tried my best to ignore. It was my biggest mistake. I was the only one who cared. I gave it my all only for it to be thrown away. In the end, I was left standing in the same lonely place. But this time, it hurt...

Waking up in a novel we read would be some of our heartfelt wishes. But what if it was a dark fantasy novel? Now that would be either interesting or terrifying maybe a mixture of both. If you reincarnated as the Hero that is... Waking up as Sirac Saeron Ksharthel, a minor villain was not something I imagined would happen to me, a normal student in my world. If only it wasn't a damn revenge regression novel. And what's this nonsense about becoming the main villain, that I keep seeing on the oh-so-esteemed 'system'?

Her life is a mess

Everybody wants a handsome male lead.

There will be about 2 to 3 chapters per weeks starting on Monday or Tuesday. Theos Martin is a young man with a unique charm, both open-minded and socially accomplished. To those around him, he embodies a rare combination of strength, intelligence, and authenticity, qualities he hides beneath more ordinary talents: a surprising mastery of video games and an extensive knowledge of anime. But behind this facade of an ordinary boy lies a soul marked by the extraordinary. His life changes forever the day a goddess appears, revealing a truth beyond understanding: he is the destined hero chosen to confront the Demon King, a malevolent entity whose threat looms over another world. To save this mysterious universe, Theos must leave the comfort of his daily life and plunge into the unknown, leaving behind everything he knows. However, the journey to this new world does not go as planned. Theos finds himself deprived of some of his strength, in a strange and hostile environment, where reality follows none of the orderly rules of a game. He quickly realizes that this quest is about more than defeating an enemy; it will push him to discover himself and make choices that could change not only his own destiny but also that of the world he left behind. Notes : The upcoming chapters will be corrected. I'm only publishing them because it's been a while since my last update. Don't worry, the changes won't significantly impact the story. Thank you for your understanding!

Hazuki Hyuna has always thrived on routine. Predictability is her comfort, a steady rhythm she relies on, savoring the certainty of knowing exactly what lies ahead-even indulging in the occasional spoiler. Love, to her, is an overrated, messy affair, the kind that shatters the peaceful quiet she's built around herself. But lately, her days have started to feel a bit too still, a touch too empty...though she'd never admit it. Change isn't something she's looking for. But her impossibly beautiful neighbor seems to have other plans, shaking up her routine with unexpected visits and unusual requests. It's everything she never wanted, yet somehow, it's already too late to pull back.

People live by desires, dreams, motivation and undying crave for something. Everybody want something in life, something that they want to achieve no matter the cost. But how about those who don't? How does it feel to not have any dreams? How does it feel to not have a single thing you are interested in? How does it feel to not crave for anything? Life goes just like the flow of the river with nothing so ever happening in your life and meet the Sea as in Death.

It's against protocols," she explained and Liam nodded. "No one would know we did it, right? I won't tell and surely you won't," he said and Fiona looked at him incredulously. "I guess you're drunk," she said flatly and he nodded and stood up. He walked closer to her and whispered to her ears, causing goosebumps to sprout all over her body. "Yes, I'm drunk and you're the only one that can sober me up right now. So, how much?" he asked and Fiona gave him a confused look. What was he asking? How much what? Did she tell him she was selling anything to him? She mused as her brows drew together. "How much? How much for what?" she asked and he ran his finger down her cheek, making it hard for her to concentrate. "How much would it cost me to have my cock buried inside you....." before he could finish, a hot-sounding slap landed on his face, causing him to turn to the side.
