The Author

BS: Weeeelll, here's yet another chapter being churned out by this God-awful author.

TA: :hurt: Well, I think that I'm a really great author...

KL: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. NOT. You're a horrible author because it took forever and a day for your last chapter to come out.

TA: Um, and you don't suppose that Fruits that slack off have anything to do with that?

MA: Are you kidding me? We aren't the ones who are slacking off! We've been bombarding you with ideas 24/7! You're the one who hasn't been typing this wonderful story up!

TA: Jesus. Fine, you guys are really annoying today.

Disclaimer: I own nothing even related to J.K. Rowling, and this unfortunately includes Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. You'd know that I owned it if there was a character that looked like me that was dating Newt.

I landed with a jarring thump that shook my entire body to the core. I realized with a start, that I was in the Otherside. The first thing I needed to do was find my Shadowmaker, Credence Woodswater.

I stood up and started to run towards where I knew he was living with his mother. However, just as I started to run, I realized that I had a physical body, not a body made of smoke. I stood stock-still with shock.

I hadn't incorporated this side-effect of the Umbra Lux into my plan. I needed to be invisible to the masses in order to observe and save Credence, otherwise people (Aurors) could just chase me down whenever they felt like it.. Maybe if I thought really hard and tried to switch back to my Obscurus form it would work.

Turns out, it did, much to my surprise. I flew up into the air, much more comfortable in this form than my human one. I knew that Credence's apartment was somewhere in Vinegar Hill, so I decided to check around the neighborhood to find him.

It took a couple tries, but I finally found the place. "How did you find it so fast?" you ask. Well, I could tell because the whole place was no longer even there. Except for Credence, everything had been burned to a crisp.

I swooped down and picked up Credence. It was a good thing that he was still alive, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I flew up and started to speed up. There was only one thing that I could do now.

I would take Credence to an orphanage. A good one, in a good neighborhood, so that he would be adopted into a loving family. You know, one of those gushy ones from the fairy tales that No-Maj's like to read to their children.

I flew around looking for one for several hours, until I finally spotted one that met my criteria. I left little Credence on the doorstep and shifted into my human form. I pressed the doorbell and the shifted back as quickly as possible.

A older woman opened up the door, looked around, and her face fell. I'm actually glad that her face fell, it meant that she could show compassion to children. She took Credence inside and I drifted into the orphanage, taking care not to tear apart the walls.

I would keep watch over him as he grew up into a happy, healthy child. He would have a good childhood in these walls, and no harm would come to him. The matron that the older woman had handed him to took Credence upstairs and put him none too gently into a cradle.

I melted into my human form and peered into the cradle. Credence peered up at me with a smile on his face. His tiny fingers and toes grabbed for my hair and I smiled sadly at him. He had lost his mother, and I was not a substitute, not at all.

The best I could do was watch over him as he learned to walk, and to read, and to have fun. I could only guide him, and help him find his place in the world. I could only shadow him from behind and help him gather is full potential.

All of a sudden, Credence started to cry, and I heard footsteps coming our way in response to his cries. I quickly melted back into Obscurus form and flew up to the ceiling, accidentally leaving a small hole in the wall in my haste.

The older woman blasted the door open, hitting the wall with it and startling Credence even more. His cries grew even louder, and the older woman walked out the door in disgust. I couldn't believe it. Seems like my first impression wasn't all that correct after all.

I flew down again after she closed the door, shifting to my human form in the process. I picked him up and cradled him gently. "Don't worry Credence," I said, shushing him gently. "At least you have me to take care of you."

Credence stopped crying, and I felt that at least something was going right today. "That's it Credence, don't cry, don't cry. C'mon, smile for me, you can do it!" I cheered him on, and he started to show me a smile full of baby teeth. He looked so cute.

Finally, he went back to sleep and I put him back down into his cradle. "Don't worry about anything Credence. I'll be here for you, day or night, and I'm going to make sure that nobody ever hurts you again."

I shifted back into my Obscurus form and drifted out the door, looking for the head matron's office. It was time to have some serious fun.

Author Note: Well, we have a new record. I have just received my first derogatory guest comment. To whomever posted that, thank you. I feel like a real author now. I mean, this is a serious milestone! I have received a derogatory comment! Whoo-hoo! Go me! Okay, party over. The next chapter will be longer than this one, and my friendly Obscurus who seems to be a little mad right now, will be wreaking havoc on the matron's life. I'm going to go cook up some ideas now!
