Hogwarts Wizards and Pandora's Box. The Halloween Specter

Chapter 13: WITCH'S BALL. Part 2: second contact

It's 5pm, Jack is on his way to the Halloween party.

On leaving the forest, he hears a noise behind him.

He has time to duck down and dodge a [Stupefix].

He takes out his wand, Lily appears and throws an [Expelliarmus] which disarms him with her wand.

Kiarah throws a [Stupefix] which immobilizes Mateo.

Jack recognized the wizards who attacked him the last time and his sacrifice.

A dark aura collects around his body, his eyes turn black.

He breaks the [Stupefix] and searches for his first target, Kiarah has disappeared.

He only sees Lily, he hesitates a moment, nods vigorously and runs towards her.

Daeren quickly comes out of the bushes, stands in front of Lily with his wand in hand

[Aleph]

A bright light is moving at full speed on the head of Mateo who sends him waltzing.

While still in the air, Kiarah comes out of the bushes and sends a [Stupefix].

At the moment of falling to the ground, Lily throws a [Galciem Aqua], a block of ice appears and freezes Mateo in place.

Here he is immobilized, unable to move or break the spell as he did earlier.

Jack feels a wand on his head from behind, he doesn't see the person.

It was Rune who casted the [Stupefix] from the start.

Jack emanates more and more black aura to try to free himself from the spell.

Rune then said.

"Exorcizamus Te Omnis Immundus Spiritus."

A light crosses Mateo's whole body, he opens his mouth wide and screams.

A gigantic shadow emerges, Jack in his spectral form.

Daeren launches an eagle-shaped [Partonus] that holds and injures the shadow in the air.

Mateo faints.

Lily holds out her wand in the air, closes her eyes for a moment.

[Carcer]

A blue cage traps the black skeletal shadow.

At the same time, Daeren's Patronus disappears.

The plan was simple, surprise him and then immobilize him.

Rune was not to face the specter directly since it had already used her fear against her the first time around, if the first attempt failed, which was most likely, Kiarah would attempt another attack, in case of failure Lily did the bait to allow Daeren to immobilize it, once done, Rune would exorcise it, Daeren occupied it and Lily took charge of imprisoning it.

Lily jumps for joy and claps Rune's hand, then runs to Mateo.

Kiarah just displays an indifferent expression.

Lily dissolves her ice and Kiarah breaks her [Stupefy].

Mateo is lying on the ground.

He opens his eyes with difficulty and strokes Lily's tearful face.

Only Daeren did not show the slightest sign of joy after the victory.

Kiarah approaches him and asks the reason for his displeasure, to which he replies

"Something is wrong! It's too easy!"

"It just means we're strong."

The shadow moves a lot in the cage, it heats up and becomes so hot that the grass and the ground catch fire.

The cage of light shatters and Jack appears with an abominable cry, which forces the wizards to cover their ears.

Jack holds out his hand.

Black fireballs form on his 4 fingers, he throws them with a gesture.

A ball towards Daeren who places him on the ground, two balls towards Rune and Lily who were near Mateo, they are pressed against a tree, and a ball towards Kiarah which is thrown a few meters.

Jack enters Mateo's body again through his mouth.

He stands up with black eyes.

"To me, my soldiers!!!"

A slew of shadows surrounds the small group of wizards.

"Bring them to me!"

The acheries take the sorcerers, hold their hands and put them in line, on their knees in front of Mateo.

The acheries are screaming in their ears and the sorcerers quickly regain consciousness.

"This is the second time that our paths cross, this is the second time that you hurt and humiliate me!"

He kicks Daeren, hesitates a little before slapping Lily.

"You don't put a god in a cage!" He yells.

"I can assure you there won't be a next time!" He said, approaching the wizards who were bewildered. "Do you think such a pathetic spell can restrict me?! I AM JACK O'LANTERNE !!!!!"

The acheries force the sorcerers to bow their heads.

"Our meeting is not due to chance! You, the medium, you were able to recognize me and extricate me from this body that I like. I want her to suffer before she dies, too dangerous. My sister will find herself another sacrifice.

As for the boy, hurt him, very badly! The spell he cast on me has hurt me the most until now and believe me I've seen spells! My sister will personally take care of his case.

As for the 2 girls, put them aside. The other is my sacrifice and the other pleases this body! No harm will be done to them! I reserve this pleasure once my work is completed!"

"What work? And then what do you want?" Daeren asks.

Jack stops, looks at Daeren and laughs.

"Am I dreaming or are you asking me a question? Do you know that you are going to die? In horrible and excruciating suffering?"

"Yes, but I would like to know what I could have prevented if I had done as planned! You owe us that much for freeing you!"

"For freeing us? We're not... at least not yet. Only after the ritual. But you score a point. You gave us this chance to be free!

So, listen, for as long as I can remember I was a beautiful being, once a year, one night, I had fun with these little, inferior beings, humans, we ate, we drank, they disguised themselves as our offspring to better blend in with the crowd.

And then they would give us offerings in exchange for our services.

For their blood and their flesh, I burned anything and anyone, so I heard my father telling me that I had done a good job.

Then there was a war.

We lost and I was locked in the box with my siblings.

Over the centuries, humans have started to venerate the day we met, they disguise themselves as monsters, believing they are having fun while in truth, their cry of joy is veneration to our beings.

From time to time, we manage to get out of this prison to make those responsible for our imprisonment suffer.

Then here I am released again, and I hear again the voice of my father who tells me to go have fun with the humans and make them pay because it is thanks to them that we no longer have our bodies, because of them that we must wander here and there unsatisfied, because of them that we are condemned!!!

Once this is over, you will witness the sacrifice of your companion! I want you to see this imagining yourself living a thousand times worse!

Now take them to our world!"

The acheries knock out wizards who lose consciousness and take them to the bottom of the forest.
