Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Dumbledore. Sacked.

Hagrid. To Azkaban.

As the time to hold the second stage arrived at the end of May, Hogwarts had lost the charm it possessed during the first stage.

Darcie Malfoy, the one who couldn't be touched, as everyone thought, had been petrified.

Arlen Black, the Celebrity Crusher, had been petrified.

A student from another school. Petrified.

There was a monster within Hogwarts.

The Chamber of Secrets was opened.

But the Triwizard Tournament couldn't be dispensed with. If they canceled the Tournament now, it would become the greatest sign of the ministry's shame and weakness.

Professor McGonagall was elevated to the temporary office of the Headmistress.

Dolores Umbridge had tried her best to get that position, but when Madam Villanelle too stepped in as a candidate, both witches had to withdraw against seniority.

In the late evening, the champions of the first Group gathered outside the School, lining up against the thick, darkening greenery of the forbidden forest.

Cornelius Fudge, Crouch Sr, Karkaroff, Madam Maxime, Umbridge, Madam Villanelle, McGonagall, and other Professors and dozens of Aurors now stood on one side of the students.

Crouch Sr stepped forward, putting himself between the students and the forest.

"Please listen to the rules carefully," he said, eying the tension. "You will need to cross the forbidden forest and reach the finish line, where we all will be waiting for you… Silence!"

Crouch Sr nodded when only a hint of fear remained on the students' faces.

"You all will be sent in order of your Points," he continued. "The pieces of parchment collected by you all in the first stage will magically guide you to checkpoints, keeping you from getting lost.

"Have you realized the significance of the first stage now? The more of these clues you have, the higher the chances of you reaching the final stage earlier."

All students looked at Draco and Daphne, who possessed all the clues.

"You can give up anytime," Crouch Sr told them. "Send sparks high above the forest. One of the Aurors assisting us will come and get you. Alright. There's really not much to say, right?"

The students looked at the forest and the darkness within, and gulped.

"Harry Potter!" Crouch Sr called out the name. "Go."

And the second stage of the Triwizard Tournament began with no audience and with an ominous tone.

…

Broadway, Manhattan

New York City,

The afternoon sun was high, burning mildly over the bustling city.

With his hands inside his jeans pockets, across the road, Black stared at the sixty-story, imposing skyscraper.

Black was wearing his signature black jacket over black pants and shoes, his handsome, tall build turning many eyes.

Next to him, on either side, were Voldemort as the Reanimated Gellert Grindelwald and Ekrizdis.

Gellert Grindelwald was donning a long, gray overcoat. There was a scarf wrapped around his head, and he was facing the opposite side, the back of his head looking at the building.

The Lord of Azkaban was also wearing an overcoat, jet black in color. There was a hat over his head, shadowing his rotten face.

People kept walking by them, finding nothing suspicious.

-Will this work?- Voldemort hissed from under the scarf. -Even we can't take on the full ministry… Let me create a body for myself, first…-

-Shut up!- Ekrizdis growled. -Always finding excuses! Tch!-

-How dare you?! You has-been of have-been era!-

Black ignored the two and eyed the owl carved over the revolving door entrance.

This owl marked the building as the secret location of the American Ministry of Magic — Magical Congress of the United States of America!

The Black and Darcie lying petrified in Hogwarts' Hospital Wing weren't real, but illusions.

Generally, no matter the level of illusions, even Dumbledore would have been able to tell them apart from the real bodies. Much less needed to be said about Herpo the Foul, who must have already visited if Lucky Intuitions were to be believed.

However, Kai had turned the entire Hospital Wing into the House Common Room, imposing a new Rule — All false things will become real in the Room!

The magical power of Skill — My House, My Rules, was so potent that not even an ancient wizard who didn't exist in the past, present, and future could have possibly told the false bodies apart from the missing, real ones.

Of course, the underlying matter of the magic was still illusions.

Kai didn't have any Skill or Ability to create illusions, per se. However, he had something much better — Ancient Magical Script!

Ancient Magical Script didn't just allow Black to coat himself under a strengthening magical armor of blue flames. It didn't just let him create odd, magical objects that could only replicate existing magic somehow.

In fact, Black wanted all the forces keeping an eye on him to believe that he could only do that using the Ancient Magical Script.

The only reason that Ancient Magical Script wasn't an Ability itself was that his Magical Aptitude was still a Master Ability. Or so the Ad Infinitum had theorized.

Even then, the Ancient Magical Script was the greatest versatile tool in their arsenal.

As long as there were pure Mana-based spells or magic around him, Black could see, read, write, and decode that magic and its nature using the Script.

Then, he could create a counter-magic on the spot, extinguishing the existing magic from the roots.

And this was only scratching the surface.

So, yes. Black was confident in infiltrating the MACUSA, despite a Bounded Field separating them.

Gently, he stepped forward, his black eyes stirring as he decoded the magic over the revolving door.

A stunned Voldemort and Ekrizdis followed him, matching his pace.

Suddenly, Black lifted his hand and drew a rune midair before flicking it toward the owl. Making no ripples or noise, the rune melted inside the existing magic.

Black smiled… and walked inside the building, the wizards on the other side frowning at his strange get-up.

-Hehe…Hehe…- Voldemort hissed out a laugh, taking out his wand.

-Ha…ha… Haha…- Ekrizdis laughed along with his fellow Horcrux.

Then, all hell broke loose, screams ringing out everywhere.

…

Mount Greylock,

Massachusetts

"Did the Order of Immortal Lotus think that they would unleash Herpo the Foul upon me," Kai mused with foolish questions, "… and…"

There was no one to hear this question, but someone did reply… with a growl.

ROAR!!!

Kai, donning Lilith as the yellow cloak, was standing on the head of Rayquaza, a dim, yellow star shining hideously in the sky.

In one hand, he carried the Philosopher's Stone, countering the Eon Soul Dew's Corruption. In his other hand, he carried Jack Sparrow's Compass.

Unlike MACUSA's headquarters, which everyone knew was inside the Woolworth Building, the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was hidden under two layers of Bounded Field; one mobile and the other surrounding the school itself.

On the grounds, thick mist blinded the senses, acting as the first barrier.

Even Ancient Magical Script was useless against it as the magic within the mist kept changing faster than Kai could decode it. It wasn't because the Ad Infinitum lacked processing power, but because he was still inexperienced in wielding the Script.

So, he had used the Compass of Desire to slither his way through the mist, coming to the second roadblock.

With a smile on his face, his slitted, hazel eyes, donning the purple, demonic rims, were stirring as if he was reading something extremely fast.

Then, just like Black, Kai flicked out runes at the space in front of him.

As if a mirage had appeared right under him, the School's towers came into existence, rippling through the mist.

Kai's smile widened, finishing the question. "… and… I would let it slide?"

Rayquaza opened his gigantic mouth and fired a Hyper Beam so thick that it obliterated a third of the School instantly.

BOOOOMMMMMMM!!!
