Harry Potter: Secrets and Trials

The Best Birthday

On the Island of Sodor in the Town of Wellsworth, Edward the North Western Railway's Number 2 was at the station on a stopping passenger service having a word with Christian Sand and Samuel Hever his current driver and fireman respectively and the respective sons of his previous driver and fireman Charlie Sand and Sidney Hever. Usually, the subject would be about their relatives and the workload and the day-to-day issues but today they were talking about the aftermath of the challenge for position duel with Kai Malfoy having defeated Christina Carlin nee Potter after the latter defeated Delores Jane Umbridge which meant that Madam Umbridge would keep her seat on the Wizengamot and her position as the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic.

"I can't believe this," Christian Sand sighed as he was getting Edward ready to take on some water, "All of Christina's efforts have amounted to nothing since Kai Malfoy defeated her."

"I actually hoped that Christina would be the new senior undersecretary," Samuel Hever spoke, "With Christina there things would have started to get better for the people with the merits to get the jobs they're best suited for."

"Sounds to me like Voldemort's defeat has only left a void for Kai Malfoy to fill to bring his Organization to the United Kingdom," said Edward the Blue Engine, "Fortunately the order you and your relatives belong to is making progress but with Kai protected by the Arkeyan Empire Bylaws it's not much but at least that's something to show."

Christian Sand and Samuel Hever, Edward's Driver and Fireman respectively knew what their engine meant for the Assassin Brotherhood which included members of staff from the North Western, Skarloey, Arlesdale, and Culdee Fell Railways was making progress but and rumor had it that the mentor was ready to make plans to strike back against Kai Malfoy and his organization.

"It's true that we've begun to make some progress but we should meet with the others and discuss our next course of action," Edward spoke as he and his crew prepared to head to Tidmoth Sheds after their jobs were done.

At Tidmoth Sheds, Henry, Gordon, and James were talking about the Assassin Brotherhood and their next move and their next course of action in regards to the Arkeyan Empire's building plan for the Railway Network of the United Kingdom.

"Once again Kai Malfoy forces the forces of light two steps back just when we move one step forward," Henry the Green Stanier Class Five sighed.

"The Forces of Darkness have grown bolder but perhaps we can use their own arrogance against them," Gordon the resident Gresley A1 Class Pacific suggested.

"A plan like that sounds effect yet it's very risky because it leaves a lot to chance Gordon," James the resident Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Class 28 spoke up, "The Forces of Darkness aren't fools and neither are the Templars or their allies so it's best we have a backup plan in any situation."

"What's this I'm hearing about the templars making a big move and needing a plan to stop them?" a female voice rang out causing the big engines to glare and scan their surroundings and found that it was Steven Hatt's daughter in law Katherine Hatt nee Shiba, younger sister of William Shiba, current head of the Shiba Clan and current Controller of the Johto Railway in Japan and resident Samurai Witch.

"Katherine it's you," James spoke, "For a minute we thought the Templars were sending somebody from Abstergo Industries to spy on us."

Katherine looked downcast which prompted the big engines to sport serious looks on their faces which meant James had been right about Abstergo.

"Don't tell me, let me guess, your father-in-law Sir Steven Hatt the current Fat Controller has run into some issues with Abstergo Industries hasn't he?" Henry asked, "Why else would you be here to see us?"
