TW: Blood, swear words, weapons and zombies

When they arrive in the other dimension, the very first thing that greets them is a walker. They all look a bit worried except for Laura.

She suddenly brings four knives out of her pockets. "I asked McGonagall to give us some knives. You know, just in case" she tells them as she hands over the knives.

Y/N smiles at her. Good thinking! They do need weapons in order to kill the walkers.

Lucius refuses, though. "I do not need a stupid Muggle weapon. I am a wizard" he says as he huffs.

He then casts the Killing Curse on the walker. However, nothing happens. He now looks worried as he's struggling with the walker.

As it's about to bite Lucius on his neck, Laura kills it with her knife through its skull.

He sighs in both relief and annoyance. "Thanks. I could have handled it, though" he says, almost believing his own words. Yeah, right.

Vera laughs. "You could also just use your cane to whack it, you know?" she suggests.

Lucius looks at her like she's crazy. "There is no way I am getting disgusting zombie blood on my cane!" he exclaims, taking his cane closer to himself as if protecting it.

His hair got a bit messy while he was struggling with the walker. He then starts to smooth it out.

"What are you doing?" Laura asks while raising an eyebrow at him.

"I am attending to my hair" he says as he's fixing his hair. He's such a peacock, so fixated on perfect appearance.

Y/N can't help but think that Lucius would get along with Valtor. They would definitely be discussing hair brushing techniques together.

Y/N wonders if the Killing Curse didn't work on the walker because it's already dead.

"Lucius, do you think the spell didn't work because the walkers are already dead? Or do you think that your magic doesn't work here in this dimension?" she asks after a while. It would make sense as to how the others got kidnapped by Muggles.

They all look at her a bit strangely. "Walkers? Don't you mean zombies?" Vera asks, confused.

Meanwhile, Lucius looks a bit offended. "Of course my magic works! Look" he says as he uses the Levitation Charm on a nearby stone.

However, nothing happens. Lucius starts to panic. Why doesn't his magic work here?!

"The people who are at war with the Saviors call the zombies for walkers. Some people might just call them "the dead". Just a heads up. And I have been thinking - maybe the zombie infection here is somehow making your magic ineffective? Like some kind of pollution?" Y/N carefully suggests.

Lucius hums in agreement. That would make sense. How else could the members of the Order get kidnapped by some stupid Muggles?

"That does actually make sense. Y/N, how about you try? Let us see if you can use your magic here" Lucius says after being deep in thought. Nodding, Y/N concentrates as she's trying to make that same stone levitate. It works.

"No way, your magic works! Do you think you can use it against the zombies- I mean walkers?" Vera questions.

Y/N quickly spots a walker coming towards them. She focuses her magic to kill it. Nothing happens. She then focuses on pushing it away. The walker is suddenly thrown into a tree by a force.

"It seems like you can't kill them, you can however use your magic to push them away. That could be useful if you will have to save somebody" Laura states. Everybody nods at that.

"We should probably go and find Alexandria. It's where Rick Grimes, their leader, lives. He can probably give us some more information" Y/N then says.

As they are about to walk, they hear something in the bushes. They all prepare to fight. Lucius has even taken the knife that Laura offered.

Suddenly, a man with a bit greasy, dark brown hair appears. He's targeting them with a crossbow. "Who are you people, huh?" he asks in a threatening tone.

They all put their hands up in surrender. "Relax, Muggle. We have come to aid some people in their war against another group" Lucius slowly says.

The man suddenly gets a bit aggressive. "What the fuck did you just call me?!" he yells as he points his crossbow towards Lucius' forehead. Lucius gulps. He sometimes forgets that the Muggles don't know that name.

Suddenly, a woman with short, grey hair gently puts her hand on the aggressive man's shoulder. "Daryl, calm down. These are the people Rick told us about. They are here to help us. I'm sure the man didn't mean to offend you" she says as she looks at Lucius.

The man named Daryl huffs as he puts down his weapon. Lucius sighs in relief. He honestly thought that the Muggle man was going to kill him.

The woman looks at all of them. "Hello, my name is Carol. And Mr. Aggressive here is Daryl. We have come to take you to Rick Grimes" she states.

Y/N smiles at them. "Nice to meet you. This is Lucius Malfoy, Laura and Vera. My name is Y/N" she says while giving a shy smile.

Carol smiles at her. "Nice to meet you, too. Now, follow us. We will take you to Alexandria" she says as she starts to walk.

They all then follow Carol and Daryl through the woods. Daryl gives Lucius death glares once in a while.

As they arrive outside of the gates of Alexandria, a few walkers appear. They are suddenly shot. It must be someone guarding inside the walls.

Lucius leans into Y/N. "What was that? I thought they used knives? Was that fireworks?" he whispers to her.

Y/N laughs. "What they just used was most likely something like a shotgun or rifle. It's a Muggle weapon that can harm the target from a long distance by shooting at them. They are shooting out something called bullets. They usually use knives as the guns attract more walkers because of the noise, though" she explains.

Lucius laughs, too. "Muggles, such strange people" he says in an amused tone.

Y/N smiles at him. "You are right, Luci" she says, not paying attention to what she just called him.

He then smirks at her. "What did you just call me, hmm?" Lucius questions her playfully. Y/N starts to blush. Her cheeks are bright red as she realises what she just called him.

"L-Lucius. I called you Lucius, of course" she says as she gives a nervous laugh. His smirk just widens at that. Oh, he will remember to tease her daily about that nickname.

They all then enter the gates to be met by a man with curly, dark brown hair and a grey beard.
