Ch 44 The Russian Director
Ginny walking to the Great Hall going to meet with the Chaldeans and Hermione. 'Ginny are you alright? You hardly ate any breakfast this morning.' Anne said in her astral form.
"Oh you scared me; I'm still not used to this yet," Ginny said to Anne. "Anyways I'm fine, Rider."
Bonny looks at Ginny as she has a worried expression plastered on her face. 'You're worried about master, aren't you?' she asked.
"How did you know?" Ginny was surprised that the Rider can tell what she's feeling.
'Rider has the same expression as you do when something is making her down.' Mary said.
'Do I?' Anne asked the small pirate
Mary shook her head. 'Yes, you do,'
'Oh, I don't really know what facial expressions I make when I feel something.' Anne jokes trying to make Ginny laughs.
Ginny smirks at Anne's attempt to make her feel better. "Your funny, Rider."
Anne smiles that her attempt worked. 'Well making people feel better is my specialty, especially when Rider is down.'
"You two have a great friendship, I'm glad that I met you two." Ginny smiles.
Anne was fake crying. 'Oh, Ginny that's a nice sentiment you just said.' She jokes.
Ginny eyes widen. "S-Sorry to make you cry Rider."
'Don't be, this is another joke she's making." Mary said.
"O-Oh," Ginny said before laughing.
'Don't worry, master will be fine.' Mary said. 'He will be back before you know it.'
"Thank you, you two for making me feel better," Ginny said.
'Anytime,' Anne smiles with a funny face. They all laugh along with her as they continue to they're way to the Great Hall.
Hermione was sitting with Reines, the twins, and Holmes. "Hey, Reines?" Hermione called for the Rider.
Reines looks at the bushy-haired girl. "Yes?"
"I Ritsuka going to be alright? He looks awful back at the ship." She said as the twins nodded.
"Yeah, he looked,"
"Pale." The twins said.
Reines smiles. "I wouldn't worry that much; Berserker is a trained medical professional." She said. "She'll make sure master's health at its peek."
"Yes, I predict master will be back in a week or so," Holmes added. "If he stays in bed and not do some work."
"He's prone to do his work even though he's sick?" Hermione said. "That's not good."
"My apprentice is a stubborn one, I give you that." They all turn to see Zelrtch standing behind them.
"Zelretch, glad you are not off somewhere else," Holmes said.
"Well, I have this inkling feeling that I should stay here for the time being." The Dead Apostle said.
"What feeling is that?" Hermione asked.
Zelretch places his finger on his mouth. "That's a secret, Ms. Granger." He said.
"Good afternoon all," Ginny said as she walks to the table. she took her seat next to Hermione.
"Afternoon, Ms. Weasley." Holmes greeted her.
She smiles at them and looks around. "I don't see Neville, Daphne, or Draco. Any ideas where they are?" she asked.
The twins look at each other and shook their heads. "Neville might be with Professor Sprout asking some help with his Herbology Homework," Fred said.
"As for those two, they disappear on us, I'm guessing something to do with their families?" George said.
"Oh, well I guess it's just us then," Ginny said with a smile. "So, is everyone excited for the Champion's dinner?" she asked everyone.
"Yeah!" The twins exclaim.
"What's exciting about this Champion's dinner?" Reines asked.
Hermione turns to the Rider. "Well, the second dinner is where the four Champions of each school will make two crystal balls that they will contain their greatest achievements in their life."
"The first one is shown at the Champion's dinner and the second one is shown at the beginning of the Third Task." Ginny finishes her off.
"interesting…" Reines said as she looks at Holmes.
"Knowing master he'll put on a spectacle for both." The detective said sipping his tea.
Zelretch smiles thinking of what his apprentice is going to do for this event.
Suddenly the doors open to Neville rushing in the hall. "Guys," he got the attention of the Chaldean table.
"Neville? What's going on?" Ginny asked the Longbottom heir.
"Outside, I saw Mashu, two of Ritsuka's Servants, and the representatives with a white-haired man." He said.
"No Ritsuka?" George asked.
"Ritsuka isn't with them," Neville said as they all got up to see this man that he spoke of.
Chaldea Brittan Outpost January 25, 2024, 11:59 AM
Mashu peered open her eyes as she saw the white ceiling above her. She got up from the bed remembering the feeling of the covers. "I'm in the Medical bey?" she asked as she looks around her surroundings.
"Fou!" Fou cried as he jumps on her shoulder nuzzling her cheek.
Mashu giggles. "Hello, Fou-san." She greeted the beast.
"Yes you are, Ms. Mashu." She turns her head to see Nightingale putting away some medicine back in the cabinet.
"Nightingale-san, what am I doing here?" she asked the nurse.
The Berserker looks at the former Demi-Servant. "Director Kadoc and Ms. Anastasia found you unconscious in your bathroom on the floor. There is evidence that you have vomited before you blacked out."
Mashu tries to remember what happened prior, bits and pieces of her memories came back. "I-I remember a bit; I was going over some documents that Senpai have written for the upcoming dinner then I felt ill all of sudden." She said as Nightingale listen. "I ran to the bathroom to prevent a mess then…I think that when I blacked out."
Mashu looked at Nightingale as she hears her words. "I see, base on what you describe I have a prognosis on your condition. I did some bloodwork on you, so we have to wait for the results later in the day to see if my prognosis is correct." The Nurse said.
"Alright," Mashu said as she looks around. "Um, Nightingale-san. Where are Anastasia-san and Kadoc-san?" she asked her.
"They're waiting outside the Medical bey as we speak," Nightingale said. "I will let them in." she walks to the door as the former Crypter and Lostbelt Servant enters the room.
"Mashu, you're alright?" Anastasia asked clutching Viy.
"Yes Anastasia-san, I'm feeling fine. Thank you for asking." She said incline her head.
"That's good," Kadoc said as he turns to Nightingale. "So would she be able to perform her duties?" he asked the nurse.
Nightingale looks at Mashu and smiles. "Yes, but I highly recommend that she should have lighter work than usual. Other than that she's in perfect health."
"Thank you, Nightingale-san." She thanked her as the nurse noticed her abdomen is a bit larger.
'Mmmm, I need to go through the records.' She thought as she walks off to the desk.
Kadoc noticed her face became stern for a moment but shrugs it off. He turns to Mashu and his former Servant. "So, Mashu I was thinking that we should pay the wizards a visit."
Mashu and the Caster look at the Acting Director. "Care to tell use, master Kadoc?" Anastasia asked her former master.
"I want to see what kind of people the British wizards are," Kadoc said. "I meat the Bulgarian wizards and they are, well stubborn." He said lightly.
"Oh, right you're attending the Champion's dinner in place of Senpai," Mashu said.
"Yes I am, I also read that Ritsuka made some allies there," Kadoc added. "I want to meet them."
"Okay, I will get ready to depart," Mashu said throwing off the covers as Fou jumps on the bed.
"Fou!" he said as he follows her.
"Alright, we'll be waiting at the lobby for you," Kadoc said as they left the Medical bey.
Kadoc and Anastasia were waiting for Mashu to come down from the stairs. "Do you the way to Hogwarts's Caster?" Kadoc asked his former Servant.
"I vaguely remember, but I've been there before," Anastasia said. "I asked one of the Knights of the Roundtable to accompany us to the school." She said.
"Who's accompanying us?" he asked.
"Sorry to keep you two waiting," Mashu said as she came down with her usual entire.
Galahad followed his Pseudo-sister down the stairs. Kadoc saw the Shielder coming down, "Galahad? You're taking us to Hogwarts?" he asked the Servant.
"Yes, Anastasia asked me to guide you to the school," Galahad said. "I also contacted Holmes about your arrival so expect Gilgamesh and Siegfried to be waiting for you."
"Thank you for that, Galahad." He said.
"Fou!" Fou jumps up to Mashu's shoulder as she pets him.
"Everyone's here?" Kadoc looks around as the Servants and Mashu nodded. "Then let's get going," he said exciting the Outpost.
Hogwarts Dumbledore's Office
Dumbledore was in his office with the Order of the Phoenix for their daily meetings. "I thank you for everyone who can make it today." He said to Molly, Arthur, James, Lily, Moody, Tonks, Kingsley, Remus, and Sirius.
"We'll do anything for you Headmaster." Molly smiles.
"So what's this meeting about," Arthur asked.
Dumbledore called in Severus inside the room. "Severus has some information about the Dark Lord." He said.
"Really? Well, tell us Snivullus." James said sneering at the spy.
Severus sneers back at the Potter family's head before he told them the information. "Tch, it turns out that Lucius Malfoy was a spy for Harry and reveal viable information on the Mage's Association and Chaldea's location upon other things."
The member of the order has widened eyes at the information given to them. "Malfoy was a spy for Ritsuka? I knew something was off during the Yule Ball when they speak to each other." James said.
"What of Lucius? Is he still alive?" Arthur asked the head of Slytherin.
"That is unknown, the Malfoy Mansion was attacked leaving Avery Jr alive," Severus said remembering the corpse at the mansion. "Lucius disappeared without a trace, all Avery told the Dark Lord is that they were fast and can't make a complete detail on the attackers."
"So Lucius was taken by those attackers?" Remus asked thinking it might be Ritsuka's doing.
"Most likely,"
"So what of the locations of the Mage's Association and Chaldea?" Kingsley asked.
Severus nodded. "The Mage's Association is in the British Museum in London. The Dark Lord has sent a few Death Eaters to attack them."
Dumbledore looks at Kingsley and Tonks. "Kingsley, can you take a couple of Aurors with you to London and help them from the Death Eaters. If we do that, they might consider joining the Wizarding World against Voldemort." He said to the Aurors.
"Right, so what of the other locations," Kingsley asked.
"These tie in together, Lucius knows how to summon Servants," Severus said as they gasp.
"Really? If the Dark Lord already gains the knowledge already then it will be too late." Lily said.
"That is if they have the material," Severus said.
Dumbledore looks at the Potion master. "What kind of material?" he asked.
"A mineral called Saint Quartz, they-"
"If we manage to attain these Saint Quartz then we can summon our own Servants," James exclaims.
"Yes but-"
"But who would be the master? I mean based on what Harry's Servants then we need someone to control them." Molly said.
"I suggest that the headmaster should be the one." Moody suggested, "If he becomes the master then we have an upper hand with Harry,"
Dumbledore shook his head. "I believe it should be Charles, "
"Why my godson?" Remus asked.
"It's the prophecy, if Charles has this power then he can defeat the Dark Lord once and for all." He said. "And once the Dark Lord is defeated, then he can defeat Harry and gaining his Servants making him Humanity's final master." He said remembering the title that Avenger gave him.
Sirius and Remus look at each other concern that this won't end well. "A-Are sure this is safe for Charles?" Sirius asked him.
"Of course Moony, if Harry continues to ignore us then he might turn dark," James said.
"I agree, if we want order to be restored in the wizarding world then we must defeat both Harry Potter and the Dark Lord." Dumbledore supporting James.
The rest of the order nodded liking the idea that Charles Potter is Humanity's final Master. Kingsley was skeptical about this but if it's for the good of the wizards and muggles he will support it.
"Then lets-"
"If you let me finish then I can tell that it's an impossible task," Severus said as the order looks at him.
"Why's that Severus? Think about the goodwill coming out of this." Lily said to her old friend.
"If you listen to me then the mineral is closely guarded by powerful people." He told them.
"What kind of people?" Dumbledore asked disliking the tone that Severus has in his voice. "Where is it located exactly?"
"The Saint Quartz is located in the coldest continent Antarctica,"
"That's not bad if we have some clothes for the wintery environment then-"Dumbledore started when Severus added to his sentence.
"In a facility funded by the United Nations," They all gasps at the most powerful organization in the world.
"The United Nations?" Lily gulps at the name.
"Yes, the facility holds the Saint Quartz in a vault that is deep within. There's only one person who can gain access to them." He said.
"What the name?" Moody asked.
"More importantly what's the facility called?" Sirius asked guessing who the person is.
"The Chaldea Security Organization, run by the Director Ritsuka Fujimaru." Once Severus told the name all hope gaining Servants is lost.
Dumbledore slumps down on his chair that his future plans have gone off the rails. Then a thought came to him. "The Mage's Association," he said as everyone look at him.
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
"The Mage's Association is on our side then they can convince Harry to give us the Saint Quartz." He said as hope came back to them.
"Yeah, that sounds like a plan," Tonks said as the doors open by the Transfiguration Professor.
Dumbledore stood up from his desk. "What is it, Minerva?"
"Headmaster, there's a man with white hair at the gates," Minerva said as the Order rushes to meet the white-haired man.
Kotaro, Danzo, and Mochizuki materialized once everyone was out of the office. "I shall inform Fujimaru-dono. Stay here and keep an eye on the Order." Kotaro said as he dematerializes to meet with his master.
"Hai," the Assassins said.
Dumbledore and the Order arrived at the gates of the school to see a pale young man with white hair. His yellow eyes have bags under them assuming from the lack of sleep. He wore a black shirt stitched together with a brown fabric that held it together, a grey overcoat for winter.
He wore a light grey pants and black shoes. On the black shirt is a pin with two diamonds overlapping each other with the top having a dent on the side.
"Is that Ms. Kyrielight?" Minerva asked seeing the Assistant Director with the strange man.
Dumbledore walks up to him with McGonagall and James with him. "Hello there, I'm Albus Dumbledore headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Might I ask who you are young man?" he asked him.
Kadoc chuckles. "(So this is what Ritsuka is dealing with every day here.)" he whispers to himself. He looks at the old man, "I'm Kadoc Zemlupus, the Director of the Chaldea Russian Branch and Acting Director for the Chaldea Britain Branch. A pleasure." He smirks.
