Harry Finds Hermione Crying

Everyone saw Salim as perfect flawless, untouchable, a man who made the impossible seem effortless. To Lian, he wasn’t just admired he was her light in a world that never seemed to stop falling apart. Born into poverty, Lian knew struggle better than comfort. Her family had nothing, and every small win came through relentless effort. Her father, tired and bitter, walked out on them. Her mother, Quinn, was no savior either cold, selfish, and drowning in her own twisted sense of importance. Quinn's lies and theft finally caught up with her, landing her behind bars and leaving Lian and her younger brother Louis to pick up the shattered pieces. Lian often wondered what went wrong. Why was her family so broken? Why was survival their only reality? She hated being poor. Hated being invisible. And so, she made a vow she would never become like them. She would rise, no matter what it took. But when the light you chase burns too bright, will it save you or blind you?

How many years ..... have passed? Uh..one...two...three... uh..four...five..hmm. Five years....hmm..uhhhh...haahaaahaaa...[laughing loudly] ..Finally...finally..it is ready ..I am ready... screaming loudly Indra looked at his hands then towards the glittery glowing greenish blue crystal which had been just a plain black rock for last five years. He had been waiting stuck in a room with transparent walls surrounding him. The only view he could see outside was 'Nothing'..There was nothing ..not even a single non living entity. It was dark all around..but sometimes he could see a pinkish light dispersed in the surrounding which used to disappear after some time. The room he was in had been floating in this darkness unaware of where it was heading just lost in this pin drop silence. Surprisingly he had not been hungry nor tired in these five years. But he felt he would go insane in this loneliness and eternal silence....

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

Cynthia Fola is a woman who seems to have it all. A celebrated author. A loving wife. A devoted mother. Her books have touched hearts across the world, yet the story she’s never told is the one still bleeding inside her. Six years ago, in the silence of her apartment, she miscarried a child she never told anyone about. Not her friends. Not her therapist. Not even Damson, the man whose name she whispered through the pain. He left her soon after, never knowing what she lost. She never asked why. She just survived. Now living in quiet elegance with her husband Levi and their son Adam, Cynthia has carefully rebuilt a life that looks whole. But when a professional event in Dubai brings Damson back into view — older, bolder, and standing on the very stage she’s meant to own — the walls she’s held up begin to crack. Memories return with force. Her body remembers the ache. Her heart remembers the silence. And in the glow of chandeliers and applause, she is forced to confront the love that left her, the pain that shaped her, and the truth she buried beneath success. Cry Me a River is a lyrical, unflinching portrait of grief, motherhood, marriage, and memory. It is the story of a woman who gave everything to protect someone’s dream, only to nearly die in the process — and what happens when that dream returns, asking for her voice again.

Yeri never asked for a life like this. Quiet and gentle, she was just trying to survive the cruelty of Soojin — a woman who treated her like a pawn in a game of power. In a mansion full of lies, Yeri learned how to stay invisible, how to carry pain with grace. Until one night, during a lavish party, everything changed. When Yunjun — the cold, distant mafia heir — saw someone lay a hand on her, something in him snapped. What started as protection soon cracked open the walls he’d spent years building. But falling in love wasn't simple. Yunjun wasn’t just a man with secrets—he was a man at war with himself. Their fragile bond was tested at every turn: Soojin’s jealousy spiraled into violence, leaving Yeri broken and bruised in a hospital bed. Just as healing began, Yunjun’s past came crashing in, and Yeri was ripped away—kidnapped and tortured by Jack, his ruthless enemy. But Yeri wasn’t just a victim. She was a fighter. And even in the darkest moments, she held on—to hope, to love, to the belief that someone would come for her. Yunjun did. Fueled by rage, guilt, and a love he could no longer ignore, he brought Jack to his knees. But revenge couldn’t erase the scars. The real battle was learning how to be there for Yeri—not as a protector, but as a partner. Now, with blood behind them and healing ahead, Yeri and Yunjun stand not as broken people—but as two souls who chose each other in the aftermath. Their story isn’t perfect. It’s *real.*

In a world where the legacy of ancient empires determines fate, goodness magic lies dormant—waiting to be awakened by the kiss of the anointed. These rare individuals are born of noble bloodlines traced back to the once-rival empires of Crispin and Liputian. The two kingdoms, once bonded by peace, discovered four elemental gems beneath the sea: orange (fire), black (earth), blue (water), and green (air)—the sacred sources of all magical power. But peace gave way to greed and conquest. The Crispin Empire, lustful for dominion, enslaved the Liputians and claimed the four gems and two enchanted half-necklaces. Yet from the ashes of oppression, Queen Deli and a cunning Liputian slave named Nick conspired to reclaim what was stolen, stealing the gems during a grand festival—sparking a legacy of revenge, rebellion, and restoration. In the centuries that followed, power again corrupted. The Liputians, now in possession of the gems, splintered into four secretive clans, each guarding a single gem and a magically sealed puzzle book meant to preserve their fragment of power. The promise of unity was lost to division—until a new generation rose. In a modern society plagued by systemic evil—where the state colludes with cultic groups to exploit the young, monopolize economies, and pass corrupt laws—a band of students dares to challenge it all. Nick Putian, Jasmine Rose, Tiffy, Mikal Kaal, Jenny, Elizabeth Shadd, William, John, and Lama are drawn together by myth, ancestry, and the stirring call of justice. What begins as high school romance and rivalry—love triangles between Nick, Tiffy, Jasmine, and Elizabeth—turns into a quest to redeem a broken nation. Guided by ancient maps only readable by those of Crispin or Liputian descent, the group unearths their destinies as potential anointed kissers, capable of unlocking the elusive goodness magic through love’s purest expression. Elizabeth, Tiffy, and Nick are revealed as ideal candidates, bound by blood and fate. Together, they face impossible missions—from decoding ancient riddles in the Chillbi desert, surviviving Crapaud Forest, the desolate Chillbi Desert, and enduring the volcanic threats of Mount Volta, to enduring arrest at Mansoon Basement, and confronting sea storms and secret enemies at Hina Sea. Each location offers not only physical trials but emotional tests: betrayal, tension, near breakups, and the threat of moral collapse. Ultimately, it is not power or bloodline alone that secures victory—but unity, love, and sacrifice. Through an unlikely kiss between Nick and Tiffy, the long-lost goodness magic is finally awakened. The cultic systems collapse, and the government—exposed and humbled—cedes the mystical Hina Island to the allies, where they begin forging a new state rooted in justice and peace. This is a tale of how youthful courage, ancestral power, and the choice to love over rule can reclaim the soul of a nation.

In the midnight glare of neon lights and city noise, the vibrant facade of a nightclub masks a darker undercurrent of despair, rebellion, and choices that shape destinies. “Nocturne of Ashes” begins with a powerful confrontation between two cousins—one upright and studious, the other rebellious and lost in the neon haze of nightlife. Zhou Chaochao, a principled and composed young woman, finds herself outside the nightclub "Huise," desperately trying to pull her cousin Zhou Yuan out of the shadows. Zhou Yuan, only seventeen, has dropped out of school to work in a club as a hostess. With her provocative appearance and defiant attitude, she is a stark contrast to Zhou Chaochao’s buttoned-up demeanor. Despite their childhood bond, they’ve grown apart—one ascending the path of education, the other descending into the city’s underbelly. What unfolds between them is a heart-wrenching conversation that reveals more than just diverging life choices—it peels back layers of pain, social inequality, and broken families. Zhou Yuan is not merely rebellious; she is a young woman cornered by circumstance. With a mentally ill mother and a gambling father, she’s learned that beauty and street smarts are her only currency. To her, books are a luxury for the privileged, not a lifeline for survival. Just when Zhou Chaochao is about to give up, the night takes a darker turn. Lost in the chaotic crowd inside the club, she finds herself harassed by drunken thugs at the door. It's here that the story shifts from emotional drama to tense suspense—until a mysterious man steps in. Enter Lu Lie—a cold, disheveled, and enigmatic figure with a piercing gaze and a dangerous aura. With swift decisiveness, he pulls Zhou Chaochao into his arms, saving her from potential harm. But he’s no knight in shining armor. He’s rough around the edges, brimming with cynicism, and seems to carry a past full of shadows. Their brief, charged encounter leaves Zhou Chaochao stunned—especially because she remembers him from long ago, though he doesn’t seem to recognize her. This single night sets off a ripple of emotions and consequences. For Zhou Chaochao, it marks the beginning of a silent awakening—into a world far darker and more complicated than the pages of her textbooks. For Lu Lie, it's just another detour on a mission rooted in danger, as he receives a coded message through his earpiece hinting at an undercover operation. “Nocturne of Ashes” is not just a tale of reunion or rescue—it’s a layered exploration of moral ambiguity, youthful rebellion, and the choices that define us. At its core, it’s about two people whose lives shouldn’t intersect, and yet do—in the most unexpected way, on the most dangerous night. This story blends urban grit with emotional vulnerability, making it a compelling read for fans of realistic fiction, suspense, and emotional drama. Through raw dialogue, tightly paced scenes, and rich character psychology, it invites readers to ask: When the world has already labeled you a “bad person,” is redemption still possible?

Have you ever eaten something so tasty, spectacularly good you just said to yourself, "I gotta get more of this"? For young private detective Junta Sapi, that something was the Premium Ultra Deluxe Madame Parem's Pudding. He had tasted it once,7 years ago, and was hooked. When he finally had a chance to get more, he found it wasn't easy to find. Did he ever try looking for it? Maybe it took him a few days, weeks, months before he thought he'd never taste it again. But Junta didn't give up. After seven long years of searching, he finally tracked it down to a small shop. Elated, Junta purchased the pudding and secured it in his fridge, but his joy was short-lived. When he returned home later, the pudding was gone, replaced by a note with a gingerbread man symbol and the taunting message "Catch me if you can."
