Harry Potter : The Cardmaster Chronicles

Chapter 44: Magic Chronicles : Planning



(Season 2 Oficially Beginsss!!!)

Omni POV

On a frigid winter night in Russia, the air is heavy with frost, and the streets are eerily quiet as the moon casts its pale glow over the city. Snow blankets the rooftops, creating a shimmering landscape that glistens in the moonlight. The temperature plunges well below freezing, and the biting wind cuts through any exposed skin, making it feel like tiny ice daggers against the face.

Amidst this frozen cityscape, a shadowy figure emerges from the darkness, draped in a long, dark coat that flutters behind them like a cloak. The figure's face is obscured by a scarf and a hat pulled low to shield from the cold. They move with the grace and agility of a cat, their footsteps barely making a sound as they traverse the icy rooftops.

With each jump, the figure springs effortlessly from one building to another, using the snow-covered structures as their personal pathway through the city. The cold seems to have no effect on them as they navigate through the treacherous terrain, a true master of stealth and agility. Their movements are calculated, and they appear to be in complete control of their every step.

As they leap from rooftop to rooftop, their breath forms wispy clouds in the air, briefly revealing their presence before the chilly wind carries it away. The only sound accompanying them is the faint crunch of snow underfoot, echoing through the stillness of the night.

Silhouetted against the moon, the figure's form becomes almost mystical, like a creature from a winter fairy tale. They seem almost ethereal as they traverse the rooftops, a living embodiment of the enigmatic Russian winter.

Suddenly, the figure comes to a stop at the point of a very tall building, admiring the view of the city below.

The feeling of being at the top of the sky, higher than anyone else has ever been before, is like a never-ending feeling of ecstasy. It's like a surreal feeling of being a god, and everything below, be it playthings, believers, or cockroaches.

In that instant, the winds change, and from the sky, a very beautiful bird descends on his shoulder, as it should be.

"Raymond, you should be faster; we have a spectacle to attend tonight," said a golden bird with crimson eyes.

"Yes, Ra. So how was the entrance course for today?" asks Raymond, still looking at the breathtaking view from up there.

"Nothing much; he swiftly killed all the objectives so far, and only the boss remains."

"And the preparations?"

"All of that has been made and it's almost ready. You have to give the signal, and he will start the main course."

Sigh

Both Ra and Raymond look at the sky where countless stars were shining through the cold and merciless night.

"You know, Ra..."

"Yes?..."

"This world is getting more and more dangerous."

"The more we know about this world, the more we realize that we are nothing but cockroaches waiting to be slaughtered."

"Are you talking because of 'that'?"

"Partly, yes, but also because the more we know, the more we realize we really don't know anything at all."

"Raymond..."

Sigh

Flashback

After accepting joining this organization, Severus quickly told Raymond something.

"Raymond, there is something that you need to know..." says Severus with a little fear, uncertain about Raymond's reaction once he knows the news.

"What...?" replied Raymond, intrigued, as maybe he had loopholes in his plan that he didn't expect.

"I didn't tell you that I have been hearing this symphony of howlings, roars, and hissing all together to form a very deadly and quite scary melody."

"This has been happening for some time now; I don't know the exact time, but I can deduce that this is clearly not normal."

"And I am talking about magical normality."

"Anyway, when I killed my father, this monster or amalgamation of monsters appeared inside the mirror, and I could surprisingly communicate with him."

Raymond didn't say a word through all of this and continued to have a poker face, but inwardly his paranoia was going full speed.

'Shit, this is bad, like really bad. I thought that Ra and I were the only ones that crossed.'

'Color me impressed; other things have crossed too with us.'

'This takes us to the following questions.'

'Who or what else crossed?'

'Did they have powers or affinities as in the series?'

'Who is in possession of the powers?'

To all of this, Ra was also quietly listening to Raymond's questions and paranoia.

But in this case, it was for the best.

'Raymond, we should be reconstructing the organization more, recovering contacts and all that jazz.'

'Yeah..., I guess we should do that as it will help us later on.'

'But first, we must learn from Severus a couple of things that would very well be beneficial to us.'

'Agreed.'

"Severus, I want to ask you a question."

"What?..."

"I want to learn all the magic that you have in your mind and that has been imparted since you were a child, and then I will show you something extraordinary."

"What do you say?..."

"No problem, Raymond," replied Severus with a smile on his face.

After that, they exit the office and go to Severus's new room.

Before entering Severus's new room, Raymond stops for a moment and seems that he was contemplating something.

"By the way, Severus..."

"Yes?...."

"I want a list of creatures, their roles, descriptions, abilities, all of what you remember and can find, as well as all the knowledge of organizations that exist in the wizarding world by the night..."

"Is that a problem?"

"Of course not, Raymond."

"In your new room, you will have papers and a pen on your desk."

After that, Raymond opens the door and says before leaving,

"Make yourself comfortable."

Flashback end

"Doesn't matter now anyway... we should do it quickly and go home, as the letters have already arrived."

"Let's go... Severus is waiting for the call, and end the day already."

- Kuuga

- Ryuga

- Dark Kiva

- Another

"By the way, guys, MILEI WON! LET'S GOOOO!!!
