Snape Feels The Need To Protect Hermione

He steps closer, his golden eyes unreadable. "You're trembling." Vera scoffs. "Yeah well, near death experiences tend to do that." His fingers brushes her wrist, light and careful. "You're not dead." "Yet" He exhales sharply. "Not ever, if I can help it." ~~~~~~ "Not all shields are meant to protect." Vera's life wasn't supposed to be this complicated. One moment, she's just trying to keep her head down, and the next, ghosts are literally out to kill her. Yeah, you read that right-ghosts. The kind that don't wait for midnight to mess with you. Then there's him. He's got this otherworldly vibe, like he just walked out of a cursed fairytale. His jawline? Sharp enough to cut through glass. His expression? Colder than your ex's texts. He doesn't talk much. And let's not forget his weird habit of snapping his fingers to conjure up some invisible shield. Who even does that? When their paths cross, Vera doesn't know what to think. Is he a friend? A foe? Or just someone who's really good at staring into your soul? Whatever the case, he is impossible to ignore, no matter how hard she tries. This is not your average love story, if you can even call it that. Who can you trust when everyone has a hidden agenda? And how do you fight a war you didn't even know you were part of? One thing's for sure: life's about to get very complicated.

#WSA2025 Word went around that no one that had ever knocked on the esteemed Eleazar family’s doors seeking shelter were turned away. Fleeing the prince of Lustris no less, Arabella Sterling held out hope that those weren’t mere rumors as she crossed the border over to Umbraria, home to all creatures of the night. A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy. As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety. Though never, in a million years, did she imagine that what had started as a simple trade off, could morph into a swirl of tangled passion when the cold and stoic vampire she served showed interest in the young woman beyond the crimson nectar coursing her veins.

After seeing her brothers torture man in her basement, Ilaria realizes she needs to leave. And, with some help from her friend and her friend's friends, she does.

And sometimes, it's for the better. She's created a new family, but can she escape her old one forever? And, more importantly, does she really want to?

When the Tower appeared, I thought my life would change forever. In a way, it did. Supernatural powers, riches beyond imagination, worldwide fame, everlasting happiness... Despite anyone’s wish, I received none of those things. Alas, in the end, things never work out the way you want just by wishing for it. “―Hero... Please, kill yourself. For the sake of the world.” In the end, I was forced into a job I couldn’t let anyone discover. And, in the end... [Enki. You must not falter in the Contract.] “...I know.

The MMORPG 'EVR' was released unexpectedly one day, along with its advanced equipment that allowed players to fully immerse themselves in the game, even though prior VR technology wasn't nearly as realistic. To prevent people from replacing their real lives with the game, the servers were shut down during the day and on weekends. I was the best at the game, but since I had no friends or family, I could only watch and bet on sports while waiting for the servers to reopen—until the day I died and regressed to a week before the game was released. I know everything that will happen in the game. I know the game is not just realistic; it's real. And for some reason, I don't need to log out! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a no-harem story. It starts off quickly after narrating unnecessary details, so I suggest reading at least a few chapters to get to the heart of the story.

Professor Nathaniel Pierce rules his lecture hall with an iron will. Cold, unapproachable, and brilliant, he tolerates no distractions, no emotions, and certainly no entanglements. His world is built on discipline and control—until Elena Hart walks in. She is everything he resents in a student—bold, unafraid, and willing to challenge him at every turn. Yet, beneath her defiance lies an undeniable allure, a presence that disrupts the rigid order of his world. As the semester unfolds, the lecture hall—once a space of structure and strict academia—becomes something else entirely. The air shifts, the tension thickens, and the boundaries of authority blur. What begins as an intellectual battle soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Forbidden glances, stolen moments, and a passion that neither of them can afford to indulge threaten to consume them both. But in a world where consequences are real and reputations are everything, how far will they go before the weight of reality comes crashing down? The Lecture Hall Feels Different Now is a gripping tale of control and surrender, intellect and desire, where the mind may resist—but the heart refuses to be silenced.

##Extreme Smut and Kink warning## As a child, I did not have any known relatives. Getting into college was a significant goal of mine. I came into this world at the exact moment that I started to see a thin line of hope. Before I could make sense of what was going on, the individuals who had summoned me were murdered. I was caught and sold as a slave for the war. It was nice that the "Oh! Great System" helped me get stronger and learn some new skills. Only after winning 50 times in a row in the Colosseum was the emperor granted me a gift. I believe freedom would have been the best gift. However, I got the second-best one. I became a slave bull. Slave traders, nobility, and even the emperor himself sent slaves to my chamber in order to procreate. Finally, after 30 years of doing nothing, I felt the rush of action. For three days straight, and... "System, why am I back? I thought I was getting to the best part of the story." {{This planet needs the help of the returnee, like the host. Please take care of it.}} "Fuck the planet. I HAVE to get my harem back." Schedule: Every other day. (3-4 Chapters/week)

Despite being a troublemaker and having terrible behaviour, Xiu Yan was still able to convince and be loved foolishly by many students on campus. An unfazed and gloomy girl named Wu Xiuxin walked across the hallway without noticing the people gathering around. Her natural eyes were sharp as if it had an intent of causing harm to people that made Xu Yuan feel uncomfortable. Xu Yuan didn’t hesitate to use his foot to block her way, which caused her to fall and made an entire student in the hallway burst in laughter. Wu Xiuxin couldn’t fathom why he did humiliate her. One person lent his hand towards her but she didn’t take it. Instead, she stood with no expression at all and with full strength she raised her clenched fist and directly threw a huge blow on Xiu Yuan’s face. The students who gathered clearly saw the ridiculous scene unfold before their eyes. “Miss Wu, you will be sent to Class 12!” said the principal, after the trouble she did. Xiu Yuan and Wu Xiuxin have finally crossed paths once again. But why does she suspiciously want to be part of his group of friends after what she did? Miss Wu, aren't you straight? ‘Cause you look cool, and the way you move and dress isn’t like what a typical girl would," one of Xiu Yuan’s friends remarked. “Is that so? Thank you but I’m straight.” Wu Xiuxin replied. “Miss Wu, do you uhm…” “What?” “D—Do you like girls?” “It’s up to you to think.” "Miss Wu, you can have friends from the other class, but why do you want to be part of a group of boys?" “Because it’s more fun together with boys.” "Miss Wu, I don't think we need to include you in the boys' group. Before you can be part of us, you still have to pass our initiation." “Really, what is it and when?” "We torture people, and only those who survive our bloody initiation will pass." "Sounds great," she replied, her face showing no expression at all. They all looked at each other, dumbfounded by her response. Wu Xiuxin had simply agreed, knowing it was all part of her plan.
