"Do you have a big house? Do you have a dog? What about all my clothes and toys at the other house I was at? When can Lucy come stay with us? Can we get ice cream?"
Lily asked a million questions as she sat in her booster seat in the back of Chris' truck. The newly appointed guardian just chuckled and tried his best to answer each one. He had a decent sized house, not very big but not small either. He didn't have a dog. He had arranged for the Michaels to bring all of Lily's things to her later that night. They would pick Lucy up in the morning and ice cream sounded like a perfect treat to celebrate. 
Little did Chris know that the sheriff had put in a call to the judge, his uncle, on behalf of Chris. The man never doubted Chris' ability to take on the girls, but he knew all too well how the justice system worked so he put in a good word and a bit of encouragement to the judge. Now Chris had a very excited little girl kicking her legs against the seat of the truck as he drove off. 
Sure, he was thrilled to have been given custody of both girls but he was also nervous about the way his life was now changed. This wasn't a job anymore, he couldn't just give advice to a kid and leave them at the end of the day. No, he was now essentially a parent and responsible for raising two girls who needed more than just a home. Lily had speech therapy and the judge had ordered that in exchange for Lucy's early release she attend counseling and anger management classes, much to the teenager's disgruntlement. On top of that there was homework, dentist appointments, outbursts, tantrums, and healing to do. Chris was already getting overwhelmed just thinking about it all. 
"Hey Chris?" Lily asked 
"Yeah?" He peered at her in the rearview mirror
"What's custody mean?"
"Well" Chris scratched his beard, trying to think of the best way to explain to a five year old "It means that you and your sister get to live with me and I take care of you." 
"We can live with you forever?" 
"Well, not forever. You're going to be grown up one day and have your own house." 
"Are you our dad now?" Lily asked
"Something like that." 
"Yay!"
Chris smiled as he pulled into the Dairy Queen parking lot. 
---
"Hey Lucy!" Julie said as she sat down at the table Lucy sat at in the common room "You've had a busy week, I heard."
"Yeah seems so" 
"Here, I got you something." Julie slid a can of soda across the table with a smile "Congrats on your placement, kiddo."
"Thanks" Lucy returned a small smile and took the soda, popping the tab and taking a sip "Tomorrow can't come fast enough." 
"I know you're excited."
"I wouldn't say excited, but I'm ready to be out of here."
"Are you going to a foster home?" 
"No, just some guys place."
"Some guy?" Julie raised an eyebrow 
"Oh.." Lucy laughed slightly at the confusion "He's a good guy, a cop. He got custody of my sister and I."
"Is it the man that visits you?"
"That's the one."
"He seems really nice."
"He's okay."
Julie nodded, knowing that she wouldn't get much more out of Lucy about her feelings on the situation. They played a game of Uno before it was dinner time and then Lucy began to go through the trunk of personal items she was allowed to have. She was given a black garbage bag to put her things in and she rummaged through everything, placing item by item inside until she got to the remains of Mr Snow. She felt anger and sadness boil inside her and she slammed the trunk closed. She returned the extra pairs of center issued sweats and tshirts then turned in for the night. Sleep evaded her, her mind wandering through all the possibilities of what living with Chris would be like. 
The next morning Chris and Lily stood just outside the gates, waiting for Lucy to be released. Lily grew impatient and tugged on Chris' hand. 
"When is her coming? I can't see!"
"Calm down, I got you." Chris laughed and lifted Lily onto his shoulders "That better?" 
"Yeah! Now where's my sissy!" 
"Patience, little one" Chris shook his head and Lily crossed her arms over top of it and rested her chin and sighed
It wasn't long before the gate buzzed and Lucy walked out of the door. 
"There she is! Lemme down lemme down!" 
Chris put Lily on the ground and watched as the two sisters ran toward each other. Lucy dropped to her knees and gathered Lily into her arms, hugging her tight. 
"I missed you I missed you I missed you!" Lily cried as she clung to her sister 
"I missed you too, Punk."
 Lucy picked Lily up and grabbed the black trash bag before walking over to Chris.  
"Hey, Luc-"
Chris was cut short when Lucy trusted the bag at his chest and walked past him to the parking lot. 
"Hey Chris, it's great to see you,thanks for springing me from jail. I owe you one" Chris muttered mockingly under his breath as he followed the girls 
Once inside the truck Chris thought he'd try again. 
"Lucy, you hungry?"
"Nah, prison slop fills me right up." 
"I thought we'd go to the buffet but if you're full…" Chris smirked 
"What's a buffet?" both girls asked at the same time and he looked at both of them with raised eyebrows
"Oh you poor things."
Chris drove them into town and stopped at the restaurant. Upon paying, Chris handed the girls their plates and pointed to the buffet lines. 
"Go crazy. It's all you can eat, just don't make yourselves sick and puke in my truck." 
Lucy looked around, a little perplexed as she made her way down the line. Everything looked so good and her poor stomach growled with hunger. She began loading her plate up with everything she could fit. 
"OH. MY. GOSH." Lily squealed and she grabbed Chris' hand, pulling him to the dessert line "WHAT IS THAT?!"
"Shhh." Chris scooped Lily into his arms so that she could get a better view and ignored the looks some customers were giving the loud girl "Inside voice okay? That's a chocolate fountain."
"I want it I want it I want it!" Lily whispered excitedly 
Chris laughed and grabbed a skewer then a piece of strawberry. He helped Lily dip it into the running chocolate and watched her happily eat it as they walked around picking what to put on her plate. 
---
"So, what did you girls think of the restaurant?" Chris asked as they all got back into the truck 
"I want to go there every day!" Lily exclaimed
"My stomach hurts." Lucy grumbled 
"I told you not to over do it." Chris smiled as he pulled out of the parking lot "And we can't go every day, Sweetheart, but we can go back again soon."
Lily seemed satisfied with that deal. The ride home was quiet, with just the radio playing softly. Chris didn't want to push Lucy to talk to him, and Lily was busy looking out the window as they made their way to their new home. Once they arrived, Chris helped Lily out of the truck and headed toward the door. Lucy got out of the truck and stood for a minute, looking at the structure before her. It was a simple ranch house, with a fence around the small yard, and a view of the mountains in the back. Lucy grabbed her bag and made her way through the front door. 
"Welcome home" Chris said softly as she entered the small foyer 
It didn't feel like home to her but she didn't want to tell Chris that. She just gave him a nod and walked past him and into the living room. A beige couch lined the back wall and there was a TV on an entertainment center with not much else in the room. 
"Would you like a tour?" 
"I think I can figure it out." Lucy replied a bit more bitterly than she had intended
"Okay...if you need anything just let me know. I'll let you get settled but I want to talk later."
"Great." Lucy muttered 
She left the room and began to look for the bedroom that would be hers. She entered one bedroom and immediately determined that it was Lily's.  A small bed was lined with stuffed animals and there were Barbie posters on the wall. Lucy closed the door and went into the next room. Inside she found a bed with a grey striped comforter, a dresser, a desk, and something that made Lucy stop in her tracks. 
"This must be mine." Lucy said aloud as she looked at the white saucer chair.

Paper Nicktoons- Prologue
Today…
I’m going to tell you the story of “Star Spirits and Good Wishes.”
Far, far away, beyond the sky, way above the clouds, it’s been said that there’s a haven where Stars live. In this sanctuary of Star Haven there rests a fabled treasure called the Star Rod, one of the Great Wands which have the power to grant all wishes. Using this wondrous Star Rod, the seven revered Star Spirits worked in tandem with other mystical councils across the realms to watch over our peaceful worlds carefully… very carefully.
And then one day…
The elderly Koopa in a purple hat and matching robes, looking ever so out of place in Star Haven, peered out nervously from her hiding place.
Satisfied, she put her magic rod up to her beak, “The coast is clear, your Nastiness. Prepare for transport.”
“Perfect. Everything’s ready on my end, Kammy. Fire away!”
At her master’s bidding, Kammy shot a geometric bolt of Koopa magic at the ground nearby. The bolt exploded into a small mass of multicolored smoke, dissipating to reveal the King of the Koopas, Lord Bowser himself.
The mighty Dragon-koopa inhaled deeply, before declaring, “Ah, I love the smell of stardust in the morning! All right Kammy, let’s go get ourselves a superweapon!”
“Mwehehe! As you command, my Lord!” the old witch cackled, and the duo of dastardly turtles strode towards the Star Temple (people in the Mushroom Kingdom’s world are really uncreative with names).
As they entered the great hall, Bowser grew suspicious, “Weird. A building this important holding such a powerful artifact, but no guards in sight.”
“That’s because we only need one,” called a familiar voice, prompting the villains to turn around.
What they saw was a small yellow star with reddish-brown eyes and a distinctive brown lock of hair drooping to the right. Kammy had no idea who this smug little sprite was, but Bowser would recognize that grim expression on any face.
“Er… hey, Geno! Long time no see, pal! Congrats on the promotion… this is a promotion right?”
“It is, thanks. So, how’s this going to play out, old friend?”
“...Can we skip the Mariachi Guy stand-off and go straight to the shootout?”
Geno responded by forming a replica of his old loaned doll body, gun arms at the ready.
“Thank you. BOOK IT, GRANNY!” the duo leaped to either side of the Star Guardian, narrowly avoiding being riddled with bullets.
The possessed puppet focused on Kammy, figuring she would be the healer of the pair, “Kamek didn’t teach Bowser much in the way of respecting his elders, did he?”
“Do you want to try telling a two ton near-immortal fire-breathing dragon fueled by teenage hormones to be polite?”
“Fair enough.”
It was a testament to Geno’s skill and Kammy’s experience that they could hold such a casual conversation in the middle of a firefight. As it was, Bowser was struggling to find an opening between the shower of bullets and geometric shapes-either through his old party member’s defenses or to his coveted prize. Just as he was about to go into his usual fiery rage, he remembered something.
With little hesitation, the large Koopa retired to his shell, spinning rapidly and obviously towards his enemy. On reflex, Geno easily caught the Koopa King and tossed him over his shoulder down the hall-in the wrong direction, he realized too late.
Now ignoring the elderly Magikoopa (who had been growing increasingly winded as the duel went on), Geno raced to the end of the hall, hoping beyond hope he wasn’t too late.
His wish had failed by a matter of milliseconds.
“GWAHAHAHA!! I’ve done it! Finally, I can take what’s rightfully mine!”
“Not if I have something to say about it!” With that, the Star-turned-toy leaped up to grasp the Star Rod, hoping his desire to save it would outweigh Bowser’s ambition.
Not even close, he realized with a start. Barely enough of his own influence shown through to make a single request for indirect aid. Still, he supposed as he was tossed across the chamber, it’s better than nothing.
Bowser, who had felt the Rod act without him, leered maliciously at his adversary, “what did you do?”
The Star, suddenly feeling much more wooden then celestial, glared defiantly, “wouldn’t you like to know?”
Bowser sneered, smoke puffing from his flared nostrils, before his face morphed into a wicked grin, “You know, I can never remember; are you a Dummy or a Puppet?”
Confused, Geno was about to reply that he was, in fact, a Doll, before noticing that he could no longer move his body. Bowser’s grin widened. “Stand at attention, soldier.”
Unbidden, the Star Guardian complied. It was then that Geno realized; Bowser had just made his first wish.
“Your Cruelness!” Kammy called as she entered the Star Rod’s chamber, “I take it from your evil laughter earlier that we’ve been successful?”
“You bet your best hat we have! Check it- the Mushroom World’s Great Wand and a new minion as a sweet bonus! He doesn’t do much right now other than follow direct orders, but I can work on that later.”
In high spirits, the Koopa King summoned his signature white and green Clown Car, “Get in Geno, we’re blowing this joint in style!”
As his weapon-turned-prison obeyed it’s new master (who was currently ravaging Star Haven and imprisoning the seven Star Spirits), Geno could only pray that Mario and whoever would be called to his aid could find some way to fix his newest mistake.
Now Star Kids may rise to Star Haven to deliver people’s wishes… 
But those wishes will not come true.
Meanwhile, in other worlds…
A man walked out to his mailbox as he did every morning, pausing only a moment to glare at his hated next-door neighbor (who cheerfully waved back).
As he looked over the mail (mostly bills, again) one envelope confused him.
“That’s odd, Timmy never gets written invitations!”
After a long day of school and Ghost fights, all Danny Fenton wanted to do was flop down in his bed and sleep till… probably midnight, if Skulker was in a good mood. Still, something compelled him to check his Email. The newest message was an invitation to a party in… the what kingdom? Calls to his two best friends confirmed that they’d received invites too.
Still, that begged the question why it was explicitly addressed to Danny Phantom.
“Good morning, Gary!” Spongebob called as he prepared for his day. Mr. Krabs had closed up shop while he went on a vacation with his daughter Pearl (as much as he hated to admit that he needed the rest) so the Aquatic fry cook’s schedule was free for the next two weeks. The poor guy must have been really out of it, because he’d agreed to pay Spongebob and Squidward while he was gone.
As the animate sea sponge prepared to head outside, he saw that the mail had arrived early today.
“Let’s see… Postcard from Sandy over in Texas, Power bill, Coupons… Oh, what’s this?”
Reading the now-familiar-to-us invitation, the sponge’s square face clearly held back a squee of delight, “I’d better call the guys and see if they can help me get to this ‘Mushroom Kingdom’ place.”
“Jimbo! A letter came for you! It looks kinda fancy, too.”
“Coming dad!” Jimmy called down from his room before setting down the ray gun he’d been tinkering with.
“Here ya go, son.” Hugh said as he passed the young prodigy his invitation. Soon after reading it (and checking it over to make sure he’d read it correctly) Jimmy received a call from someone he didn’t quite expect.
“Hi, Spongebob, What’s up?... Wait, You got one too?”
------
Hello everyone, and welcome to a project I’ve been trying to get off the ground for a while. This is a rewrite of Paper Mario, modified to work in written format, make some minor tweaks to keep things fresh(like including Geno), and of course having the cast of Nicktoons Unite join Mario on his journey. I’ll be trying to post a chapter at least once a week, and I’d be happy to answer any questions about it!

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Everyone Lives AU
Table of Contents
Chapter Three The Letter from Hogwarts
Harry spent nearly every day of July at the window, anxiously awaiting the owl that would bring his letter. His birthday wasn’t until the end of July, and his acceptance letter would come a week before his birthday, but Harry didn’t care. He wanted his letter now. Surely wanting it this badly would make it come faster.
"Will it come today, Mum?"
"I don't tell the owls when to deliver letters."
"But you could tell them, couldn't you?"
"And how would I do that?"
"You and Dad write to Dumbledore all the time. Just write him a letter and tell him to send my Hogwarts letter back right now."
"Dumbledore won't be writing the letter. It'll be the Deputy Headmistress."
"Then write to her and tell her to send me my letter."
"Be patient."
On Tuesday, Harry came down the stairs rather morose. He picked at his eggs and nibbled on his toast and turned down porridge.
"What's the matter?" James asked.
"I'm not going to Hogwarts."
"What? When did you decide this?"
"My letter hasn't come. I don't think I'll be going."
"You're not eleven yet. It'll come soon."
And with the grave sagacity only a nearly-eleven-year-old-boy could muster he said, "No. I've already come to terms with my fate. I'll not be a real wizard after all."
James wanted to laugh. He tried very hard not to laugh. With a twitching mouth he patted his son's arm, choked out in as sympathetic a tone he could manage, "I'm sure it will come soon," then nearly ran to Lily in the next room to tell her what had just happened.
James and Lily spent the day talking him out of his strange low. And by the end of the day Harry was back to waiting at the window, watching for the owl.
"They won’t send it after dark." James tried to call him to dinner, but he didn't budge, and fell asleep in the window sill without eating at all.
The next morning, Harry was woken at sunrise by something tapping at the window. Harry had hardly looked at the owl before he was scrambling to pull the glass open. The owl fluttered in and dropped a thick parchment envelope into his lap. It was addressed:
Mr. H. Potter Styncon Garden Stinchcombe, Gloucestershire
"Mum! Dad!" he shouted.
The owl screeched as Harry bolted to his feet and sent the bird tumbling onto the floor.
"Mum! Dad!" It was louder than Harry had been on any Christmas morning as he bounced into their bedroom. James groaned at the weight and Lily rolled over with a sigh.
"It came, did it?" James mumbled and fumbled for his glasses on the dressing table. He didn't find them, but his hand tightened around his wand. "Accio glasses," he mumbled. His glasses came to him, but so did Harry's. "Merlin's beard," he muttered as he sat up and gave Harry back his glasses.
"Spells before seven, James, we've talked about this," Lily said groggily as she too sat up.
"Right, right." He groaned and rubbed his hands over his face. "Well, congrats, Harry. Did you open it?"
Harry proceeded to rip open the parchment, "Carefully, or you'll tear it," Lily warned, and Harry drew his letter out, written on standard wizarding parchment, as thick as the envelope it had been sent in.
"HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY," Harry read aloud. "Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class— Mum, Dad, you have that, don't you?"
Lily and James only gave him gentle smiles for an answer, and Harry read on, "Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards) — He sounds important! Dear Mr Potter, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31. Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress."
Harry quickly picked up the list of supplies he would need for school. "Does this mean we'll be going to Diagon Alley?" he asked excitedly.
Lily took the list from him and looked it over. "No where else to get a standard cauldron." She wrinkled her nose. "They still require you to wear hats? Ugh. I've really been wishing they'd change that."
"Maybe it's only for special feasts or things like that." James shrugged.
"It says for day wear."
"No fashionable wizards wear hats anymore. That's ridiculous."
"The Malfoys wear hats," Lily said with a smile.
"My point exactly." James shook his head. "I'll be quill-ing a strongly worded letter to Dumbledore. Hats. Really."
Harry didn't care much about whether he needed to wear a hat or not. He just wanted to go to Hogwarts. He'd show up in bright red shoes with purple hair if they asked him to. "Can we go to Diagon Alley today?"
"No, no," Lily shook her head. "We've got a lot to do to get ready for your birthday next week. We'll go to Diagon Alley afterwards."
The next week was a flurry of excitement. Cleaning the house from top to bottom, pruning the garden in the back. Lily said the wild look gave it character; James said he was worried it looked alive and could eat the guests. Harry said that it might be more exciting if the plants did eat the guests. He'd become rather dismal about the party ever since he found out he had to wear dress robes for it.
On the day of the party, a large cake was set in the garden under a small tent. Sirius and Uncle Remus arrived early and helped James set up the tent and a few minor enchantments to keep the summer heat from beating down on the guests. And there were a lot of guests.
Augusta Longbottom was the first to arrive. Her son Frank, his wife Alice, and their son Neville were close behind. Dumbledore arrived early, but didn't stay long. He said his hellos to everyone present, told Harry to have a wonderful birthday — "Eleven is an important year for a young man," took a slice of cake, charmed it from chocolate to lemon, then said his goodbyes.
Minerva McGonagall, the Weasley family, the Bones family, and the Prewett brothers all arrived.
The children naturally grouped together — Susan, Harry, Ron, and Neville — since they were all ten years old, and all would be going to Hogwarts in autumn. All of them had already had their eleventh birthday parties, and Harry had suffered it with them. Ron’s, at least, hadn’t required dress robes.
Ginny tagged along next to Ron, swinging her short legs in the chair and picking at her chocolate cake. The twins Fred and George were nowhere to be seen, and Percy was busy showing his prefect badge off to any adult who would pat his shoulder and tell him how excited they were for him.
"I want to go with all of you," Ginny pouted.
"You’ll come next year," Susan said with a smile.
"I don't want to go at all," Neville moaned, and worked his way through his second piece of cake with the steady pace of a marathon runner.
"It'll be exciting," Harry said. "We'll all be in Gryffindor, of course."
"I'll be in Hufflepuff," Neville said assuredly.
Ron looked green at the thought. "I'll probably end up in Hufflepuff, too. I'll never live it down."
"It doesn't matter where we end up," Susan scolded them. "Nymphadora was in Hufflepuff, you know."
The five children turned their heads to look at the young woman chatting with Sirius and Remus. Her hair was a vibrant pink, and while she spoke, she was tapping her fingernails against the table. Her fingers would roll once, perfectly normal, but then they'd grow long like dragon claws or tiny and sharp like cat claws every few clicks.
"Fred and George said I'll be in Hufflepuff for sure," Ron said gloomily.
"Course you will, mate," one of the twins popped out from under the table. The other one followed close behind, and Neville fell backwards from his chair in shock.
"You'll never make it past the sorting into Gryffindor," the other said.
"How do you get sorted? Is it a test?" Ginny asked.
"Oh yes," they said in unison.
"There's a long written essay," one said, "and then there's the practical, of course," the other chimed in.
"What's the practical?" Ron asked nervously.
"Facing a dragon of course."
Harry and Susan burst into laughter. Neville and Ron looked ill.
Before anyone could assure Neville and Ron that the twins were joking, the Macmillans arrived.
Ernie Macmillan, loud as usual, made formal greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Potter, then practically bounced his way over to where the other children his age were.
"Happy Birthday, Harry," he said loudly.
"Thanks. There's cake —"
"Don't mind if I do. Thank you so much."
Ginny giggled and Susan rolled her eyes. Ernie was always like this — eleven years old, and pretending he was thirty-five in a different era. They were all rather used to it, and it was a blessing they only had to see him at family parties.
"Are you all ready for Hogwarts? I'm ready, myself. Got my books and everything. Mum let me try a few charms out, for practice. I expect I'll be well ahead of the class when we begin. It's a shame we can't bring a broom. I'd've loved to play a bit of Quidditch, for fun, of course."
"We can't bring a broom?" Harry nearly choked on his cake. He hadn't seen that in his letter. Suddenly Hogwarts did not sound nearly as exciting.
"We'll let you borrow ours," the twins grinned. "Little Ronnie does sometimes, that is, when he can get it off the ground."
"I can too fly," he snapped.
"Yeah, but Ginny always outstrips you by a mile."
"So what?" he mumbled. "I can fly a broom."
Ginny looked to Harry, to see what he thought of her flying faster than Ron, but he wasn't listening. Harry was busy wondering if he could convince his father to let him smuggle in a broom. It would have to be behind his mother's back. She would never approve of it. But he knew his father had played Quidditch at Hogwarts. Surely he would understand.
As the sun set and the evening settled in, people began to say their goodbyes. The Longbottoms first, the Prewetts, the Tonks — Nymphadora lingered a while longer, until nearly everyone else had gone, before finally excusing herself — the Macmillans, the Weasleys, and Minerva. The last guests were Susan Bones, her aunt, her parents, and of course Sirius and Remus were still there.
Susan and Harry had moved inside, and were playing wizard chess. They were on their third game, and clearly quite tired of each other. Their eyes kept drifting outside to the adults conversation, which was no longer in separate parties. Amelia Bones was speaking and the children were trying very hard to listen, but she was too quiet for them to hear anything other than murmurs.
"He has a right to know," Sirius's voice said, much louder than anyone else. Someone tried to quiet him, but he wasn't listening. "I mean it. If I was him, I'd expect to be told. I wouldn't take no for answer."
"You've never taken no for an answer," Lily said. "And you have to understand — how do you tell an eleven-year-old child —" and her voice dropped.
Harry and Susan glanced at each other, and in silent agreement, abandoned the game and crept to the back door so they could hear clearly.
"Lily's right," Uncle Remus said. "We can't tell him that."
Sirius made a disgruntled noise, but had nothing further to protest.
"Are you sure you don't want us here?" Susan's father said quietly. Harry and Susan had to press their ears right up against the door to hear. "Susan was young during the war, but she's someone Harry can connect with, perhaps —"
"Thank you," James interrupted, "Honestly, thank you. But I think... I think it should be a family conversation. And we do have someone coming to help. Perhaps afterwards…. I'll be sure Harry knows he can talk to Susan if he needs someone his own age."
The sound of chairs moving and the rustling of grass sent Harry and Susan darting back to their chess game, looking as innocent as they could. Harry chewed on his lower lip, hoping that he looked more like he was concentrating on the game and less like he was worrying over what his parents had said.
When the adults came into the room, Harry and Susan got to their feet.
"Time to go, Susan," her mother said sweetly. "Do you need to help clean up?" But Harry had already packed the chessboard away, and the pieces were climbing obediently back into the box.
Susan and Harry said awkward goodbyes, with furtive glances to each of their parents, and then James and Lily walked Amelia and Mr. and Mrs. Bones out.
Sirius sank into a rather plush armchair, and Remus took a seat on the edge of the sofa. Harry sat on the armrest of Sirius's chair.
"Did you have a good birthday, Harry?" Remus asked with a smile.
"Yes, I did. Only —" He stopped, unsure how to ask after their secret conversation.
"Only what?" Sirius raised an eyebrow at him.
"What were you all talking about? Are you going to tell me?"
"At least wait for your mum and dad," Sirius half-laughed. If either Sirius or Remus were disappointed in him for eavesdropping, they didn't show it.
Lily and James came back into the room.
"Should I put on some tea?" Lily asked, hands fidgeting with the hem of her sleeves.
"Please," Sirius said.
"If you have coffee," Remus cleared his throat.
"Of course."
"Rough weekend?" James asked as he sat down next to Remus.
"Not as bad as it could have been."
James nodded understandingly. "If there were any damages —"
"Thank you, James. You've always been too generous."
It was a compliment which James only shrugged at. "Can't be generous if I've got too much of it," and Sirius snorted.
Harry moved from Sirius's arm rest to the seat beside his dad. "Dad, what are you going to tell me?"
James's face lost a shade of colour. "Just be patient. Give your Mum and I a minute. And we're waiting on —"
There was a thunderous knock at the door, and a weary smile slipped over James's face.
"Waiting on Hagrid."

V Bad Story Endings Days 1-5
Days 1- 5 are the same for all three bad ends, except for the last chat of the day. Bad End 1 Days 6-7: https://lizardfina.tumblr.com/post/176608511607/badend1 Bad End 3 Days 6 - 10: https://lizardfina.tumblr.com/post/175732683372/be3
There are many different paths to a bad end, this is just what I did. I can’t guarantee that choosing different answers or missing chats will lead you to the ending you want, so it’s best to just follow exactly what I did. I got really tired of typing really early on, and started paraphrasing. It should still make sense and the answers you want should be obvious ...oh, wait, looks like the line spacing didn't carry over, so some of the longer answers are two lines long >.< So, if it looks weird as the beginning of a sentence, it’s probably the ending of the line above it. Sorry for the mess ^^;
Day 1 – 27% 20:02 Subject of Interest Seven Welcome Jaehee Are you organizing what you found about me? Such aspects should gradually improve All I have to do is invite many people and raise the scores for my meter Your psychological settings are so complicated But why is this place off limits to outsiders? I’m a bad person How come? No one’s exploiting me I hope you’d start to trust me more Your looks are already more than enough ….. You do make sure you facial pores are open? Bye, sexy 21:34 Richness in Wine Good night. The stars are beautiful Do you like wines? It’s not a scandalous photo, is it? Congrats! Are you going to say yes? But aren’t you delighted? I think the question is not  whether you’d be a fine model, but……efficiency in relation to budget I’m curious too. Could you let me know the results? I see V likes wine too What were you two like in the past? I’m sure those days will come again Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to finish as a happy ending You two are such good friends Do you have an automatic timer in your head? 23:25 Intriguing Person Here comes the final boss You two make a lovely couple It’s a secret. Shh! You must be curious about my world I’ll call the police if you violate my portrait rights They were so wary of me The purpose of life is my bias Are you warning me? Is this a bug? Goodbye Ray VN: Come in I’ve been waiting for you It was fun! It felt like talking to actual people The black haired man in a suit Now that we talked about games, I want to talk about you Day 2 – 60% 01:19 Expectation and Uneasiness I’m sure he’s inside the phone Aren’t you going to sleep, Jaehee? Do you have a hidden backstory? You know, you’re actually the CEO’s daughter That’s a true businessman A rich man and a celebrity? They sound otherworldly You can’t log in from abroad? That’s right! Please trust me! Why don’t you investigate that on your own? That can’t get any more suspicious. Do you know what those two shared? What about me? I like hearing about RFA You’re mean You must feel so complicated I agree. I doubt you can gain anything by suspecting each other You must be a grand master in handling Yoosung Don’t you suspect V? But you can’t tell people to do something about their sorrow I should go sleep too 02:44 Night of Reminiscence Good evening Jumin I’m currently holding information superiority What’s so bad about questioning I actually came from another dimension That’s the spell for teleporting, not shapeshifting That’s one elegant sense of humour Is that what you think? You’re cute I vote for a chat on RFA Was that spell for summoning V instead of shapeshifting? You’re drunk, Jumin I wish I could get a glass of wine too Do you have a drunken habit, V? Perhaps he’s sleeping while chatting Your memories are too detailed, Jumin I know no such thing as sloppiness boy You two look just like you do now You asked him to be your friend? You were cute when you were young, V So this is Jumin’s drunken habit I think both of you should go to bed What’s that matter? Bean sprout is good for hangovers You two share a lot of memories Looks like Jumin trusts you a lot Do you think there really is something you can do? I don’t feel like sleeping yet 15:24 Recommendation of Trust Jumin have you read what V said Really? What is it? Jaehee ordered them for you? You collect antique books? That’s an elegant hobby Sounds great! Thou who art deeper than even blood Jumin you don’t actually trust them, do you? What matters isn’t the background, it’s the person V looks like a trustworthy person Recommendation please! They can take the cab You can find a guest that can match the vampire Jumin, epitome of trust Why don’t you like reading, Jumin? Why don’t you try trusting V? I think it’s good to direct your thoughts somewhere else Clear your head and come back 18:26 The Universe and the Sun Hello Is there actually such creation? I’ll invite it beep What is it Seven? Is something bothering you? Try me Here he is! My secret buddy! Can I get your autograph? I didn’t know you sell your autograph Don’t be so mean to him! That halo comes from your face Doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic Can you count me in? Those left behind should carry on But if that’s our current situation, we should work together and prepare for the party He’s gone Does V like the sun? Maybe the sun holds a special meaning Isn’t he busy? Go and call him now 20:13 Party at Saturn? Good evening Jumin But it’s just a day. He’ll be fine You two must be quite close! Pluto will feel lonely by itself. I understand. I don’t wanna do anything I think it’d be one exciting party You mean the dish itself? Sounds delicious Are V’s photos that high in quality? Wow I’ve never seen your selfie Cheer up Jaehee Really? I wanna see too I wanna see too! She’s so cute Can I have more picture of Elizabeth Maybe he’s an android?

I wish you would focus on developing the game If you’re glad, why not materialize it than speak it? I prefer my home Ok, but only until the party is held This isn’t an illegal pyramid scheme is it? We didn’t chat much, you’re leaving already? Day 3 – 100% 00:31 Under the Shimmering I wanted to chill out more Your biorhythm will break I want to see V’s photos Are you in a motorcycle gang? That’s the thing, you can never find your license when needed Wow! It’s you when you were younger I want to chat with everyone Aren’t motorcycles dangerous What if something dangerous happens?

Don’t drink too much I’m like that as well I’m going to stay up late 02:46 Paradox of the Survival Ray why aren’t you sleeping You seem to have a lot of work There’s the modern convenience called the phone Wonder why it grew in two stalks One of it is like an extra giveaway I want to save the weaker stalk Rescue both A flower gained from the other’s sacrifice It was fun, with hidden morals and all Are you going back to work? 07:00 Take Care of Your Health Why don’t you lower the brightness I’ll get ready to write it down Can I taste it It’s not like the stakes are….

Merida and Hiccup’s Wedding day-part 1
Chapter 1
The sun had risen over the kingdom of DunBroch, bringing the morning to another summers day. It would be just another day for some, but today was special, because it was the long awaited wedding day for Princess Merida and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third.
Merida was sleeping peacefully until she felt the sun on her face which made her groan and turn in her bed. Merida eventually opened her still tired eyes and slowly tried to wake up, then a thought came to her, she remembered what was happening today. The princess pushed up on her elbow and sat up in bed. She gazed around her room and saw her wedding dress, this brought a bright smile grow on her face.
Merida never thought she would be so exicited for her wedding day because she had always thought of marriage like a death sentence. She would be married to a man who she may never loved and would be caged like a bird, never to be free again. Of course that was before she turned her mother into a bear with the assistance of a witch, after she was turned back to a human her mum decided to let her daughter find love in her own time. Merida thought she would never find love, especially after her experience when she was introduced to her former suitors. None had captured her heart, that was until she met Hiccup.
They first met when Merida found Hiccup and his dragon Toothless who had crash landed but both were fine. They spent a week together, but Hiccup didn't tell Merida or her family about him being a Viking, because Vikings and Scots were deadly enemies. When he finally told Merida the truth he was surprised by her reaction, she told Hiccup that she didn't care if he was a Viking, because he had already showed that Vikings weren't all the monsters that she had been told about, and besides, she had become very fond of him very quickly and surprisingly he felt the same way and the two has shared their first kiss.
Soon Hiccup and Merida were in a forbidden relationship, they both knew it was wrong and it would cause trouble (but they were used to being in trouble),but they loved each other and it felt right. For months the two teens kept it a secret, until Hiccup's dad, Stoick the Vast found out and planned to destroy DunBroch once and for all.
Luckily (thanks to their dragons) Hiccup and his friends beat the Viking Army to DunBroch to warn Merida and her family about his the Viking invasion. Unfortunately King Fergus and the other lords had led their men to fight the Vikings, Hiccup and Merida were able to stop the waring sides. They had both told them that they loved each other and at this whole hate thing between the Vikings and the Scots was pointless. They made a peace treaty and even though they succeeded, Merida and Hiccup didn't know how they would keep their love strong when they lived so far apart. The two talked about it before telling their parents, they decided one of them will go and live at the other's home. They were shocked at their plans but they realised that they were being mature and rational in their decision. Stoick made Hiccup The Ambassador of Berk so Hiccup could stay and of course Toothless stayed with him.
Merida got out of bed and walked to her window. The princess thought everything outside looked especially beautiful today, maybe it was normal for brides to think like that. Merida watched two birds flying happily together, she could relate to what they were feeling. She glanced down at her engagement ring, she rubbed it and it glinted more when the light caught it and she recalled the day Hiccup gave it to her.
4 months ago
Hiccup asked Merida if she wanted to go exploring one day. The princess wondered why he had invited her, because they usually went out together anyway. The couple, Toothless and Angus were out in the highlands exploring, they had done this since they were in their teens, there was always something new to find. They wouldn't have to travel far to reach Merida's archery range which Hiccup had made for her.
"Fancy a go Hic" the redhead asked as she just finished the 6th round of the course.
"No, no, I'm good" The Viking replied waving a hand "and you know I can't do it as well as you"
"Well you have improved since I gave you some lessons" Merida said as she walked up to him.
"You're right and also a great teacher" Hiccup said as he gently pulled her closer to him and touched his lips to hers, separating the two rubbed their noses together, smiled and chuckled, as they had many times before.
"So, what shall we do next?" Merida asked "racing, fishing or a quick fly on Toothless" when the dragon heard the last suggestion, he lay at the princess's side and licked her cheek. Merida didn't mind, she was used to him she reached out and stroked Toothless.
"Well, maybe we'll go flying but first I want you to see something" Hiccup said. Merida looked over to him and noticed he look slightly nervous, he had been like that all day.
"Oh, what is it?" She asked
"You'll see" he answered as he gently held her hand and led her toward the forest, until they came to a place which was familiar. It was where they had first met. It look the same except there was a target.
"Er...what is a target here for?" She question a bit confused as Toothless and Angus followed behind them.
The Viking bit his lip before he said " I thought you like to shot at this one"
Merida really wanted to question him but something was telling her to wait and go along with it.
"Ok, even though I just shot about 200 or so. It wouldn't hurt doing one more"
"Good, take your time" when Merida turned away, Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck, feeling nervous. He looked at his best friend who gave him a reassuring toothless smile. Hiccup felt a bit better, he'd been planning this for a while and hoped things wouldn't go wrong.
Merida raised her bow, took aim and fired. The arrow flew and hit the bullseye.
"I'll get it" she heard Hiccup say he hurried to fetch the arrow as Merida petted her horse. "Here you are M'lady " Hiccup passed her arrow to her.
"Thank you" she said and smiled at him as she took it, Merida nearly put the arrow back with the others, she felt something tap her hand. She noticed something on the arrow, she pull it off and took a closer look, it was a ring.
"Hiccup what's..." Merida asked in confusion but was more confused when she turned and saw Hiccup was on one knee, he took her hand and now Merida realised what was happening.
Hiccup took a breath and began "Merida, I know when we first met, that I never expected to fall in love with a someone who is the bravest, the most beautifully and the amazing woman, I am so lucky, the time we've had together is the best I've ever had. Well... You and the time with Toothless anyway...I just want to be with you and be yours forever, to share the rest of our lives together... Merida, would you marry me?"
Merida had started to tear up and she covered her mouth with her hand. "Yes" the princess manage to say "yes, a thousand times yes" she cried out with joy as she jumped forward towards Hiccup and kissed him, followed by Hiccup falling backwards but stopping himself and catching Merida in his arms. The Viking sealed their news with a kiss, relieved and happy at Merida's answer.
Hiccup sat up with Merida sitting in his lap. He slipped the ring on her finger, both of them smiled with joy.
"It's beautiful, Hiccup" Merida admired the ring " it must have been expensive"
"Actually, I made it"
"You did?" Merida asked, she had forgotting Hiccup's metal work skills.
"Yeah, rings are pretty easy to make but it took a while to make it perfect for you" Hiccup said holding her left hand. The ring was made out of gold which had tiny patterns, it also had 3 emeralds in the middle which reminded Merida of the colour of Hiccup's eyes.
"Were these the emeralds we found when we were trapped in the old cave"
"Yeah, I split the stone so I used pieces from it"
"I love it even more" Merida said and leaned into the Viking, they intertwined their fingers together and cuddled for a moment until Toothless came over to congratulate his friends by licking them on the cheek.
"Thanks for that bud" Hiccup chuckled before rubbing his best friend Toothless's ticklish spot.
"So,do you have anyone in mind for your best man" Merida asked, knowing exactly who Hiccup will pick.
"As a matter of fact, I do" Hiccup said with a smile as he turned to the dragon. " Toothless, would you be the best man"
Toothless's reply was... jumping on Hiccup and licking him all over the face.
"I'll take it that meants yes" Merida chuckled at the two best friends. Hiccup and Toothless had the strongest friendship she had ever known, so it was right that Toothless should be Hiccup's best man. The dragon purred as he got off the Viking and rubbed his head against the Princess's. Soon Merida's horse Angus give his congrats by rubbing his nose to Merida then to Hiccup.
After this Hiccup asked " So future Mrs Haddock would you still like to go flying or just cuddle more?"
"Mmm, we can do both, " Merida said brightly. the couple spend the rest of day exploring the sky before returning home.
The bride to be smiled, remembering that day fondly. Merida knew when her mother found out about her engagement, she would be planning instantly so she and Hiccup kept their engagement a secret for a month before telling their families and friends. Plans were be put into action, Elinor was organising it but Merida was able to have her say. It was her big day after all.
The redhead couldn't help but feel uneasy, a lot of things on her mind like if the wedding would run smoothly, would any enemies crash their ceremony but most of all, her future with Hiccup. She feared that down the line Hiccup might change in the worst way, losing the man that she loved.
Merida needed to clear her mind of these horrid thoughts and she knew exactly what to do, she got dress in her blue dress and grabbed her bow and arrows. opening her door quietly, Merida slowly made her way through the castle and out to the stables. Thankfully only a couple of staff were awake and none of them noticed Merida, not even the dragons steered as she walked passed them.
The Princess smiled when she saw her faithful steed,"Good morning Angus" Merida said as she opened the stable door. Angus sniffed and rubbed his head to her's. She hugged him before pulling back to look at her friend. "Can you guess what today is?" She waited until Angus grunted before she continued "Today is special, because it's my wedding day" Merida squeak excitedly as she bounced on the spot. Her horse neighed, sharing in Merida's joy but she shushed him, stroking him gently "I don't want anyone to know I'm here" she whispered, looking out for anyone who was walking around. "We're just going out for few hours before anyone notices I'm gone" she put Angus's saddle on him, then riding him quietly but quickly toward the grounds. When they reached the gate over the stone bridge, Angus instantly galloped and they were out into the woods.
As this was happening, her husband to be was still sleeping peacefully. Toothless who had slept in Hiccup's room last night, watched his best friend curled up in a blanket. The dragon growed softly and began to tug on the blanket. Hiccup groaned as he pulled it over his head.
"Toothless go back to sleep" Hiccup murmured but Toothless knew it was time to wake up. He walked to the bedside, poked his head under the covers and licked Hiccup's face.
"Ok,ok bud, I'm up" he laughed as Toothless rubbed his head to Hiccup' the young Viking hugged the dragon. When Hiccup pulled back, The Night Fury quickly moved to the window moved the hangings to show the sunlight as if telling Hiccup is was morning.
"I know, it's a lovely day but what's so special about today" he asked still half asleep. Toothless titled his head, as if asking "Have you forgetten what today is?" Hiccup didn't really know what his friend meant, so he lay back on his bed, shutting his eyes for a moment but then opened his eyes and promptly sat bolt upright a thought had hit him. "I'm getting married today"
Hiccup turned to Toothless who purred, the dragon was happy and excited for today unfortunately the groom to be was now feeling nervous and worried.
He never thought he would ever be married letter alone to a princess. Since he and Merida become a couple, they and their friends and family have had many adventures. They also made some new friends and enemies along the way. Hiccup thought some of their friends would be present at the ceremony, but Hiccup feared that one of their enemies could crash the wedding and cause chaos, especially Drago Bludvist who he believed was still alive. He didn't want anything horrible to happen, he didn't want their day ruined, because his life was now perfect and he didn't want it spoilt.
Toothless could see that Hiccup was worried so he rubbed he head to his again which worked, he smiled again at his friend.
"Thanks bud, I think I need some air to help settle my nerves" Hiccup said, he was about to say more but he was interrupted by Toothless, dropping his shirt on his face then the Night Fury put Hiccup's fake leg next to him.
"Thank you" he said sarcastically from under his shirt. He sighed and softly smiled at his dragon before saying "Fancy a quick flight? Hiccup grabbed Toothless's saddle, then they quickly walked down the hallways, hopefully they wouldn't wake anyone. It took the two of them some time to reach one of the towers, Hiccup then carefully placed the saddle on Toothless.
"Right just a quick flying trip and then we'll back before anyone knows were gone" Hiccup said as he climbed on Toothless. Toothless nodded and then the duo took to the air. They flew brilliantly, as Hiccup and Toothless soared up,up and across the Highland sky, Hiccup hoped today would be perfect in every way for him and for Merida.
