Legend of the Seven Lights

B-2. Galactic Juvy (OPTIONAL)

IMPORTANT: The Negaverse side-plot in this story is a continuation of Down in the Negaverse, a separate story that follows the Negative parallels of the Nextgen Kids. If you haven't seen it, you don't need to read most of the Negaverse scenes in this story as they won't be imperative to the Seven Lights plot. When we eventually get to the Thirteen Darkness chapters, those can generally be followed and understood without knowing much about the Negatives involved in them.

Chapter B-2: Galactic Juvy

Diagon Alley

The team of five appeared out of a fireplace in a dingy alleyway. "Look sharp." Facilier told them as they scrambled to recover from the fire. He led them to the city street, very cramped as oddly-clothed figures roamed everywhere. The windows of every shop were filled with all the magi essentials, broomsticks, wands, pointy hats, as well as (to Wendy and Carla's disgust) severed animal organs. Posters advertised the renowned Hogwarts School, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes featuring the Ghost of Fred, and a new haunted house attraction called The Witch's House, based on an old legend from New Oakland.

"Harvey Old Bean, wonderful to see you!" a man called.

"Bonjour, Mr. Baggins!"

"Facilier, Dear, you make the most wonderful hotcakes!" a lady said.

"Ha ha ha, I do my best."

"I say, that's a marvelous specimen." A man with a long thin mustache and monocle examined Carla. "Is this an undiscovered breed or some experiment?"

Carla flew up and glared in his eyepiece, "I'll make you into both if you don't back off."

Facilier mentioned many times that this was a wizarding community, but Wendy's never seen it herself until now. She shirked a lot, for she really stood out regarding color scheme; a lot of people were pretty gloomy and dark-looking. Well, their clothing did, the people actually seemed pretty happy, but passed curious looks to the blue-haired maiden and her flying cat nonetheless. She honestly hoped unique hair colors were common in magic worlds, but not this one it seemed. "M-Mr. Facilier, you said a lot of mages need to go into hiding because of their power. Is that why it's so crowded?" she asked.

"Well, yes." Facilier frowned. "But since benders and metahumans became more 'accepted' 20 years ago, it's not AS bad, but wizards of all people are still 'frowned' upon; or rather, feared. Even among benders we're unnatural. Wizards ain't as revered as in the Negaverse. I wouldn't sink so much into it, we've gotten pretty used to."

Wendy wanted to ask what the 'Negaverse' was, but didn't wanna distract him too much while they were navigating. She saw a group of kids gathered around a building's window with a Magic Mirror TV inside. Wendy stood at the back of this group and saw an anchorwizard and witch in the mirror. The small picture behind them depicted a familiar baldheaded wizard in a black cloak.

"In other news, the 2nd of May is nearing, marking the 34th anniversary since the fall of Tom 'Voldemort' Riddle. Known for taking many steps forward in the field of Dark Arts, commanding thousands of humans and inhuman creatures to his whim, and achieving immortality through the use of Horcruxes, he will always be remembered as the wizard who brought the greatest age of suffering in all of Wizarding History." The anchorman went on.

"But let's not forget those dark wizards before him," the anchorwitch continued, "like the Arthurian Witch, Morgan 'Morgana' le Fay," a beautiful witch with a flowing pink robe, "Avalaran legend Zeref the Black Cloud," a very handsome mage with black hair and robe, looked in his teenage years, "as well as more recent rises to stardom, the Devil Reincarnate Ganondorf Dragmire, and the elusive mysterious Man With the Red-"
