HP: Dion the magician who changed everything

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Darkness



"Do you want me to stop?" 

Looking directly into his eyes I can feel how his eyes give off hatred towards me, but his movements beg for mercy. 

"Make it stop ( vomits a slug)... please... Please" - says one of the bullies lying on the floor. 

"Apologize to Patrick and return your money." 

"You fucking ( vomits a slug)..."- his looks don't give off anything but hate for a moment, at least until later they give in and his looks turn to resignation- "well... it (vomits a slug)... sorry kid, we won't bother you anymore (vomits a slug)... make this stop please"- says the bully with his eyes watering due to the constant retching he is having. 

After Patrick's money was returned, iolita jumped back into my head. And although a part of me wants to give them a longer lesson, since the effects of this spell usually last for several hours before disappearing completely, I know Alphonse would not appreciate a wake-up call on my first day, so from my bag, I pull out some molasses candy that allows the spell to be cured and the effects to wear off in a few seconds.

"You won this time brat, that wasn't bad."- says one of the bullies while wiping his face after a few minutes of eating the candy. 

"You better not run into us again, next time we won't give you a chance to attack, and you ... Patrick right, thank that kid that we won't hit you right here."- says the one who seems to be the leader of the bullies-" and your brat, what's your name?"- he asks pointing at me. 

"My name is Dion"-I answer with a menacing look.

"Hmmm, as my partner said, not bad brat, if you are lucky and stay in our house, join us"- says the bully while pointing proudly to the shield on his tunic-" and if not, get ready because we will not overlook this." 

"We'll see." 

A duel of glances is maintained for a few seconds before the lady with the cart appears offering a variety of sweets. The bullies, seeing that they no longer have anything they can take from us, retreat. 

Patrick looks at his money and points his hand at the cart. 

"Take whatever you want, it's on me, you saved me" - says Patrick as he looks at the prices of sweets dubiously.

"My treat this time, let's eat together, shall we?" 

"I think that's a great idea, but I'd rather we pool our money together to buy a few things," exclaims Patrick as he pools his and my money to buy different candy.

London, Bloody Cauldron Alley (outside of what Dion is experiencing). 

Two silhouettes stroll through the alleys, walking in a threatening and territorial manner, their presence made many merchants and shoppers who were walking the streets nervous. 

"Is it here?"-asks one of the two men.

"That's right, it's this despicable place," replies his companion. 

When they decide that the place is the right one, they both decide to enter without hesitation.

"What a surprise to have you here," says Rakan coming out of one of the habitats. 

"Stop pretending old man, you know what we came for."

"Oh me? I'm not pretending, I didn't expect two of you to come, that's what I mean, I'm not such a big threat that two morphs would come to this desolate place"- Rakan says while petting one of his creatures in a calm way.

"You know what we came for so turn him in" - says one of the Mortifagos menacingly.

"I'm sorry, but that thing you're looking for is no longer in my possession, I've lost it"- rakan says calmly as he walks back to his desk.

"How dare you fucking scum!" shouts one of the morphs as he casts a spell that sends Rakan flying over his desk. 

The other Death Eater quickly approaches Rakan to point his wand at him before Rakan can get up.

"You think we are playing, don't you old man, you know how we do things, we will show you no mercy," said one of the Mortifagos threateningly. 

"I wouldn't do it in this place if I were you," says Rakan as he points to the various habitats of fantastic animals and creatures that surround him. 

Some of the creatures emerged from their imposing habitats ready to attack if any of the mortifags were to attack Rakan again. 

"Leave it...old man you'd better hand over that creature."

"I already told you, that creature is no longer with me, it escaped a few weeks ago from here."- says Rakan. 

"Humm with that being the way things are, I'll take it up with my superior but you better have a better excuse so they don't finish you or your creatures off, old man" - says one of the morphs turning around and walking towards the only way out of the place.

After the two men left Rakan's fantastic animal store, rakan searched through his bookshelf for a letter that was hidden in one of his books, a rather old and wrinkled letter, one whose contents were written in very blurry letters. 

"The secret of the changing creature, I have to warn the others, they are already starting"- rakan says in a low voice. 

While Rakan walked as fast as he could with his wooden leg to deliver the letter to Philip.

"Find that dwarf and deliver this to him as soon as possible."- orders Rakan to Philip.

"But where do I look for you, Mr. Rakan," says Philip, uneasy to see how Rakan is so worried.

"Although I'm not proud of this... here"- rakan pulls out a totally different device that people in the magical world haven't seen- " this will help you find them, it's a tracker, I borrowed it from the muggles, and the tracking chip is in the creature. So hurry up now."

"Yes sir"- Philip puts on his tunic and hides the letter inside it, moments later he runs off without looking back. 

Philip runs out of the alley of the bloody fishing ground, dodging the people and dubious-looking merchants passing by, but what he and Rakan didn't know is that from the shadows, from the darkest places of the alleys, they were being stalked. 

"Shall we follow him sir?"- says one of the morphs that were with Rakan a moment ago. 

"No... at least not both of us. Filvor you go, Nando you stay with me, I need you for the direction of the new order that is being formed in Spain,"- says the chief that directs the Death Eaters while he takes out a map where a few tenebrous marks that are in different parts of the world appear, and proceeds to point directly to Toledo- Spain-"we have a long journey ahead, Filvor keep us updated, do not let them discover you". 

"As you command my lord," said the two morphs at the same time.

Hogwarts Express - Hogsmeade Station: 

After a few hours of eating Chocolate Balls, Strawberry Mousse and Cornish Cream Filled, Chocolate Frogs, Frog-shaped chocolate bars with collectible stickers of famous witches and wizards, Licorice Wands, and Chocolate Wands along with other magical candies, we arrived at the station.

"Good thing there was a buffet car, or else with so much sugar I would have thrown up everything by now," says Patrick as he gets off the espresso.

"Good thing you warned me, I didn't know that on the back of the ticket, it said they included lunch or salt food, otherwise I would have gotten cavities from the amount of candy I would have eaten so I wouldn't have starved to death."

As we got off the express laughing with Patrick, we both turned to see an astonishing amount of students from different school years, some students wearing robes with different colored coats of arms, I guess this is related to the Hogwarts school houses. 

Our things were left on the train by order of the attendants, as well as the pets, something that Iolita was not very happy about since it was difficult to put her in her cage. 

"All right, freshmen come with me, you hear, freshmen come with me!" - shouts a stout man who is over six feet tall, with a big beard and a thick voice, "Alright now that you are all gathered, I introduce myself, I am Hagrid the keeper of the keys and the grounds of Hogwarts, but now I am your guide on your way to Hogwarts, so stay close to me, watch where you step if you don't want to get lost in the forest and die." 

After walking a few minutes down a steep dirt road full of leaves, roots, and rocks that could trip us up at any moment, we arrived at a dock where a number of boats were ready to set sail on the large lake that stretched all around Hogwarts.
