Hey everyone,
So this chapter is – quite interesting. As I'm sure you've noticed we ended the year by closing off two stories and starting a new one; the sequel to Keyblade's Light which is one of my longest stories yet. This Preview, however, is actually a sequel to The Moving of The Light. However, it is not the official first chapter.
Why do I say that? Because Keyblade's Light did not at all go as Werewolf of the Opera and I had planned when he was still Nate the Werehog and we had first started contemplating the storyline. The storyline for Keyblade's Light has changed way beyond what we expected and I have no doubt The Moving of the Light will do similar.
So, this preview will be based on the plans we CURRENTLY have for the story, but it might not be the official first chapter of Magician's Light once we have finished The Moving of the Light and start on this one. There is, even, a high chance that this will remain nothing more than a preview chapter here in Venquine's Mind.
Okay, HAPPY NEW YEAR,

Preview #8
Magician's Light
Radiant Garden
1st of September 1993
Dumbledore's POV
"Another year is about to begin and yet this feels like the first year Hogwarts is open, simply because of where our fine school is currently standing. And by the Founders, these lands top the Scottish Highlands easily. They are just incredible.""Enjoying the view again, Albus?" A voice then asks behind me and I smile at it.
And at Minerva and Larxene, who managed to break the curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher position and is now going to be teaching for a second year in a row and I ask: "Can you truly blame this old man, Minerva? With how far into the distance you can look here and with that gorgeous circular set of waterfalls."
"Which is why it was such a good idea to make sure there are as many doors leading outdoors and to have the Lift stops lead both to the dorms as well as the Waterways. Though I am definitely glad that there are so many cleaning charms added to the spots where the students will be able to get onto the lifts." Minerva says as she smiles.
"So, what brings you to my office?" I ask as I take my seat behind my desk and Larxene says: "I just wanted to let you know that, with acceptance from the Minister and my buddy the King, I will be having Remus, Sirius and Saïx join in on my classes and we will be separating the years between the four of us.
First and Second years will get Sirius, third and fourth will get Remus, fifth and sixth will get me and the Seventh years will get Saïx.""Is there a reason for this?" I ask and the woman answers: "We more or less had it planned for us parents to have the curse make us resign and have another take over the year after, but – heh."
I nod as even her and the others of the Organization must have taken the curse into account when they decided to take over from Quinius, something that Lea and Axel did after Larxene and Xigbar took out him and Voldemort and that they stopped doing because of personal reasons – Harry and Roxas – at the end of that year.
"There is one other thing I need to tell you, though, and Zexion and Xemnas are talking with Fudge about it as we speak." Larxene then suddenly says and this instantly has me on high alert as Minerva asks: "What's wrong? Is there something bad happening to the moving plans?" But the woman shakes her head and says:
"No, the moving is going splendidly, better than we ever expected, especially now that Molly and a few other mothers have started that Orphanage in the Land of Departure and now that Lea, Even, Vexen and Demyx have taken jobs as tour guides and welcome crew. No, I'm afraid that there is a problem back in England."
This shocks me and suddenly I realize that I haven't thought about England since England was moved here to replace what was once known as Hollow Bastion, the main base of a horrible witch known as Maleficent that the Organization, Harry, Sora and Riku took down after everything else that happened back in the castle.
"I don't know how and Even has taken time off of his welcoming duty to help the Aurors find out, but somehow Darkness has been leaking from these worlds into England. And we worry that it might somehow strengthen the darker parts of the Magical World that we have yet to transport to worlds like our former Home world."
Larxene then tells me and this makes me gasp and makes Minerva reach for her heart and while I feel relieved that the Wizengamot actually convinced me to force Dolores, Bellatrix, Pettigrew and some of our other, darker fellow witches and wizards into a similar state as the Lestranges forced Alice and Frank into years ago.
"What do you think this means?" Minerva asks and Larxene shakes her head as she says: "Zexion believes that we just didn't mix the moving of Dark magic with moving Light Magic right, but else we really don't know much. The Queen has already been informed and Fudge will leave a few Unspeakables behind.
However, what really bugs is that Demyx and Vexen have already visited all of the Darker worlds as well as the darker halves of the more neutral worlds and the Darkness doesn't seem to come from any of them. Even the Heartless in the World That Never Was are of the same amount as they were when we checked last time."
"So due to you having influenced our lives so tremendously and because we are now moving Light stuff quicker than Dark stuff, the Darker magic is manifesting into the form of Darkness that you taught us about last year? Is that what you're saying?" I ask and I whisper: "Then we can only hope one thing, really."
The two look at me and I say: "That this darkness remains inside English borders." To which Larxene says: "Fudge has already informed the ICW and the Unspeakables of Holland, Belgium, France, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark and Norway have already been taught to mix their magic with ours to create specific wards against it."
"That is most satisfying, but I'm afraid that I believe to know what is allowing the Darkness to fester, more than just your influence or the bad mix-up of how we move." I tell her gravely and the two women before me share glances before I say: "The Darkest location in all of the Magical world; Azkaban Prison."
And there we go.
This will hopefully be the start of the third part of this trilogy and personally, I first intended to have Hogwarts be at the Land of Departure and then I intended to have it at Ansem's Castle, yet the Waterway and the landing spot for Hollow Bastion in Kingdom Hearts I convinced me to have this be the final choice of location.
Also, I wanted to take Maleficent out of Radiant Garden as this school year will be mostly based on small quests and then, as these quests get completed, it will have a very nice result that will negate the ending of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Also, I just want to let you all know that this series is ignoring Kingdom Hearts 2.8.
HAPPY NEW YEAR,
Venquine1990
PS. Yes, the official first chapter of this story will definitely be larger and longer, don't worry.
