Lucas Cutter: Hogwarts Mystery Year 7

Year 7 Chapter 8: A storm of Fear is Brewinv

(Author's note: I have a second chapter Ready to go, I'll upload it tomorrow)

October came around and things were tense around the world. Even though Bane wasn't actively attacking; we were preparing for his next attempt from his followers after the incident at the ministry.

After I, begrudgingly, registered the last of the wands for today, I went back to the auror office to see Mad-Eye, Tonks and Talbott, (who was in his Animagus form) practicing his dodging as Tonks shot basic battle spells at him. He was doing fairly well until Tonks landed an accidental stinging jinx and Talbott was knocked to the ground. Talbott changed back into human form. "Ow." he said

"Sorry. Guess my aim is off." Tonks apologized as she lifted the jinx

"No, you're good." Talbot said as he rubbed his arm

"Good job, Mr. Winger. Keep it up for next time." Mad-Eye explained as he chuckled slightly.

"Yeah, I'll do that." Talbott said as Tonks helped him up.

"If you'd like, I can go for a few rounds." I said as talbott sat down and put a healing charm on himself.

"Sure."

The peaceful atmosphere of the Auror Office was shattered when Amos Diggory came rushing in, a look of urgency on his face. His voice was filled with concern as he addressed Mad-Eye, Tonks, Talbott, and me.

"Something's happening in the all-purpose room! The windows are acting up; it's like there's a storm raging inside!" Amos exclaimed, his eyes wide with alarm.

We exchanged worried glances, knowing that any unusual activity at the Ministry was cause for concern. Without hesitation, we followed Amos to the all-purpose room, where we were met with an astonishing sight.The windows, once clear and inviting, were now a tempestuous display of raging storms. Dark clouds swirled within the glass panes, thunder rumbled, and streaks of lightning crackled across the surface. It was as if the room was caught in the heart of a fierce and unrelenting tempest.

"What in the world is going on here?" Tonks gasped, her hair flickering with a burst of light blue.

"I've never seen anything like this," Talbott muttered, his eyes wide with amazement and concern.

Mad-Eye's magical eye whirred as he scanned the room, alert and vigilant. "This is no ordinary enchantment. Someone's causing this chaos intentionally."

"Tonks, secure the perimeter," Mad-Eye ordered. "No one comes in or out until we figure out what's going on. Cutter, come with me. We're going to investigate this anomaly."

"But who and why?" I questioned, my mind racing with possibilities.

Mad-Eye's magical eye darted around, assessing the surroundings. "Could be one of Bane's followers, trying to disrupt our defenses. Or perhaps a new ally has joined his ranks. We need to be on high alert. Winger, work together with the other employees to fix this. See if there's a charm that can counteract it."

"On it." Talbott nodded. "If I can't find one I'll go see professor Flitwick."

An hour passed and we continued to investigate, although Talbott wasn't having any luck, so he went back to Hogwarts to find Flitwick.

Talbott hurried through the halls of Hogwarts, his heart pounding with worry and determination. He needed to find Professor Flitwick and discover if there was a charm or spell that could counteract the strange enchantment at the Ministry.

As he reached the Charms classroom, he knocked on the door urgently. A moment later, Professor Flitwick opened it, his eyes widening in surprise at seeing Talbott there.
