Chapter 24: A Not-So-Welcome Reunion

originals by LongLiveQueequeg and Rustyfur

---------

The footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and in the suffocating silence that preceded the end of a memory, he heard ragged breathing and droplets of liquid slowly falling to stone.

Drip

Drip

Drip

The harsh aroma of daisies mixed with rust hit his nostrils in an acrid wave that made him want to vomit. Nearly a century had passed since he had smelled it last.

Albus bravely spun, already aware of what lay behind him.

"But… I… I thought you wanted to wait until we were-"

"Are you really about to turn me down?" asked the girl, pouting her lips.

Draco shook his head adamantly. "Absolutely not."

Pansy grinned and grabbed one of the large cushions from the loveseat.

"I didn't think so."

Chapter 23: Through the Looking Glass

original from b+w amagami

-----------

Careful not to spill her tea, Ginny sank into an armchair and pulled her Looking Glass into her lap. The tight pain in her chest slowly abated as she dragged her thumb across the stone's smooth surface, tracing the outline of Harry's face. Like herself, her best friend was wide awake, sitting at the window, watching the storm rage. Her knees were pulled tightly to her chest, her black hair was a mess, and her dismal expression suggested that the first two weeks of the girl's summer had been just as miserable as Ginny's own.

Chapter 23: Want

Original by Chizuru-Chibi

---------

For the rest of the night, despite being beyond tired, Ron lay wide awake. Every time he tried to close his eyes, the desire to open them and watch the beautiful girl lying at his side became too strong to resist.

Not that he was complaining...

Chapter 23: Just Think About It

original by sketcher2007 on DA

-------

When Parvati's full, luscious lips brushed against his jaw bone, Neville tried to make his body pull away, but the heady aroma of her cinnamon-scented hair made him feel as sluggish and unresponsive as a flobberworm.

"P-Parvati, I-"

The Indian girl moaned and once again covered his mouth with her hand. "Please don't say anything just yet. Don't do anything. Just… think about it."

Chapter 23: A Chance Meeting

Recurrence is the approximate return of a system towards its initial conditions.

-Audrey Creevey

Not really an original character. Just gave the existing Potterverse character a last name and a background.

I forgot to save the original piece. :(

____________________

Percy swiveled in his chair to kindly point out to whoever had been looking over his shoulder that he wasn't squeamish at all. It was just… he didn’t enjoy seeing illustrations of children having their heart cut out.

However, he wasn’t at all prepared to find an enormous pair of brown eyes mere inches away from his face.

“Hiya.”

Percy jumped away from the sweet-smelling girl that was invading his personal space. “Erm… hello there.”

Pushing her large, red glasses up the bridge of her softly-pointed nose, the girl stood up, allowing him to see her in full. She was tall, relatively thin, had long, mousy-brown hair, and looked to be roughly his age, despite the childish grin plastered across her face. All in all, she could have been considered plain were it not for her eyes, the likes of which he had never seen before. The stunningly beautiful, brown orbs radiated a wealth of intelligence and self-confidence.

The girl held out her hand, which he tentatively shook.

“I do apologize for interrupting you. It’s just… I’m afraid I’m in a bit of a pickle. You see, I was separated from my younger brothers and I can’t seem to find them anywhere. I’m not quite used to this world… and you look like a nice, normal bloke… so I… well, I thought I might ask you for help.”

Chapter Art

Here are several chapter art images which I've created for Gamer191's WIP pdf-novel format of A Butterfly Effect. A link to the work can be found in Gamer191's FF.net profile.

It's beautifully made. Do check it out if you have the time. Many of the other images are on My Flicker page.

Baby Fawkes

not done with this. I'm going to color and play with it on my tablet.

Don't remember where I got the original.

Chapter 21: The Oncoming Storm

Original by daekazu.

_______________

His former Master grinned. “Fifty years since I’ve had a good fight, Albus. If you win, I shall sacrifice all of my magic, give you the information you seek, and live out my remaining days as a muggle. Should I win, you shall provide me with a year’s supply of Lemon Drops and trust me to do what needs to be done.”

“You have yourself a deal, my friend,” muttered Albus. “Shall we?”

Nicholas raised the crackling ball of lightning.

“Yes… let’s.”

There was a sound of thunder.

Chapter 21: The World is Wrong

original by beccc on DA

_________________

Albus trudged back into the storm and apparated along the length of the visible beach until he reached the famous Land’s End arch that marked the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula.

Perenelle had been right. It would have been impossible to miss the massive tower of shale that jutted from the middle of the ocean like a dull, unlit lighthouse. It rose hundreds of feet into the air, its black outline splitting the stormy sky in twain. Waves crashed and broke against its base with all the fury of the angered sea, flinging icy spray right to the beach’s edge.

And at the top of the tower… there stood a man; an enormous man; a man whose shadowy silhouette was thrice the size of the very largest giant.

EXTREME NSFW- Future scene. It's already written. :)

Is this sexy or what? Extremely proud of the freckles. They turned out great. I used the smudge tool with a galaxy brush.

mmmm freckles

Celebration!

To celebrate the completion of a truly enormous chapter, here is my newest and best creation yet.

Base stock pic

Ch 20: The Terror in the Cupboard

Apart from the breasts, shoulders, arms, and face... which were all originally B+W from a random base body... this one is all me! YAY! I'm getting better!

The mirror image of his friend let out another rather sickening giggle and whispered in a silky voice that chilled him to bone. "Would you like to play with me, Harry?"

Offense is the Best Defense

Hermione just isn't a bamf.

Harry... is.

Snitch sneakers! Yay!

I really really really really like how this turned out. Here is the companion piece of Ginny... but I'm not putting it up because I didn't really do anything to it besides darken her hair. Both originals by Genzoman.

IRL Harry

This was so well made to begin with that I just had to play around with it. Not really what she looks like in my head... but it was good practice with sharpening, blurring, burning, and convolving.

Chapter 20 is almost done. Really. I promise. Don't hate me.

NSFW! Fanservice!

Chapter 20: The Kiss that Never Was

Original by Xsize on DA

Major editing. Love that Photoshop.

_____________________

The girl pulled her down onto the bed, balled Ginny’s shirt in her fists, and cried out tearfully, “You want me! You want me! I saw it!”

As Ginny withdrew her wand from her skirt pocket, she brushed Harry’s bangs back behind an ear and smiled at her. “I… I know you did. I just… I can’t. I don’t even know why. I’m so… I’m so confused. I love you… and I’m sorry…”

The desperation in Harry’s eyes was heart-breaking… but Ginny didn’t stop. Pointing the wand at her friend’s temple, she flicked it sideways and choked out the spell.

Chapter 19: Finally.

Original black and white by Caramel5555 on DA

Major photoshop work.

____________________________

"Hey, Gin," squeaked Harry, her stomach performing nervous somersaults. "I'm… I'm back…"

A long, drawn-out moment of silence passed between them as a flood of conflicting expressions passed over her friend's face.

And then…

Ginny wailed loudly. It was neither a cry of happiness, nor of sadness. It sounded simply like… longing. The goblet the redhead was holding clattered to the floor as she leapt out of her armchair and charged at Harry like a bull.

She was knocked backwards into the door as the girl leapt on her, smashing their bodies together.

"Are you here?" choked Ginny desperately, clinging to every inch of her. "Are… Are you real?"

Harry sighed happily, her heart fluttering as the heady scent of strawberry drifted past her nose. Sliding her hands into the soft hair that was tickling her cheek, she pressed a kiss into Ginny's neck, "I'm here."

"Finally," the redhead sobbed, collapsing against Harry and pulling her down to the floor.
