Chapter 4
I don't own Harry Potter (books, movies or plays)
I don't own Destiny 1/2 or any DLC
Though I do say the people who made them deserve to be rich
Story Start
Callum POV
It didn't take long to reach Io, Hermoine and even Harry looked in wonder as stars flashed by before the ship suddenly slowed with a planet rapidly approaching. Slowing down even further I head towards Ashe's last reported location, once there I hovered the ship over Asher Mir's work station near the dead skeleton of some large creature. After hovering near the ground I grabbed Hermoine and Harry and transmit down to a man working furiously on a computer.
"Yes yes, what do you want." said the man hurriedly not even looking to see who had arrived
"Not much."I replied making the man turn around
"Assistant! I'm glad you came back, your the only one that seems to be able to get clean samples, everyone else contaminates their samples. One would thing it was a simple enough matter to collect pure samples but apparently its not." spoke the man "How do they expect for me to get proper results without competent help?"
"I actually here to pick up the wands, Hermoine this is Asher Mir."
"Wands." snorted Asher "Such a redundant method of focusing potential, there are so many alternative methods that are far more suitable."
"Redundant? Then why are we getting them?" asked Hermoine not happy that she might be using a substandard tool "and what other options are there?"
"Most guardians use some sort of focus to help them harness their power when their newly risen, sometimes for even longer. I personally used a ring, Ikora still carries the coin that she used as a necklace...she doesn't use it any more of course unless she needs to be very precise. As for why your getting wands, almost the entirety of Hogwarts curriculum involves a wand, their spells are geared towards using a wand. To use another type of focus would make your studies harder for you." I informed "Anyway do you have the wands in question?"
"Yes I have the wands!" shot Asher "Why you needed me to make them I have no idea. My time is better spent elsewhere than writing books and making wands. If you weren't such a good assistant I would have refused to make these and told you to go elsewhere." said Asher opening a box containing two silver wands, each about 10 inches.
"They look the same, I thought wands had to be made out of different material that suited the user?" asked Hermione which made Asher scoff
"Of course they look the same, there both made up of the same materials such as vex phaseglass, other materials such as glimmer and as core I've put powdered enhancement (prism). The only reason they would need use different materials is they lack the proper tools to calibrate the focus for their use or are simply incometant and don't know any better."
"So the wands are ready for us to use?" asked Harry
"Of course not! They need to be calibrated first! I'm going to need you to channel your energy into the focus, I will then hook them up to devices that will continue to cycle the power through them. As your energy flows through the foci they will slowly begin to change in order to become more efficient at transforming your energy. Of course this process will continue as long as you use wands and as your energy changes and matures over the years so will they, the only thing the devices will do is speed up the initial calibration."
"So the more we use the wands the better they become suited for our use?" asked Hermoine
"That's what I said, maybe you should pay better attention." replied Asher shortly
"I was, I just wanted to clarify. A magical focus that can become a better magical focus sounds incredible."
"Please, there is no such thing as 'magic', 'magic' signifies an unexplainable force without any rules. If you cannot understand the guiding rules of energy transformation and their applications then there is no point in you even getting a focus." said Asher
"Actually Hermoine is quite intelligent, she's been reading your books for years."
"Really? So those books were for you? And you were able to follow my work? Well if that's true maybe you would like to..." started Asher
"She's not becoming your assistant" I interrupted "at least not until she's finished school and I have already offered her a job with my company so you're going to have to make a good offer if you want her to work for you."
"If she impressed you enough to offer a job then she indeed would make a great assistant." turning to Hermoine he continued "If you ever seek to gain some experience or other job opportunities seek me out. Now if you don't mind I have important work to do." said Asher dismissively turning back to his screen
With the wands being calibrated I transmitted Hermoine and Harry back into the ship.
"Okay guys lets go see that sparrow race." I said as I pumped the throttle and flew off.
Within a minute they were joined by another ship, and then another and another. Before long they were surrounded by ships all heading in the same direction.
"Wow look at all these ships! Are they all here for the sparrow races?" asked Hermoine
"That and more, I'd say a good portion of fans are already on the ground, now hang on I'm taking us down to one of the landing zones." Angling the ship down I headed to a large sectioned off area, grabbing Hermione and Harry I transmitted down and walked towards a ticket attendant, which in this case happened to be a maintenance bot sprayed with racing colours. Another ship replacing mine as it flew off.
"Tickets please." stated the machine
After handing over our tickets we headed to a nearby stadium that looked like it could hold hundreds of spectartors
"With all the ships that we saw before and after how popular you said this sport is and who's racing I'd have thought that this stadium would be bigger and more packed?" asked Hermoine, looking around at the stadium which, while large was not a big or as packed as she expected.
It's because this isn't the only stadium, there's a number of stands dotting the track, we even have people on the wings of there ships watching matches from above see." I said pointing above at various hovering ships "Now how about we go get some food and find our seats?" I ask
"Sounds good!" responded Harry as they headed towards the food vender
"...wait all this food looks almost exactly like what I would expect in my time?" asked Hermoine
"What can I say? You cant beat the classics." I said ordering a hotdog and some spicy ramen "I suggest the chicken schnitzel burger, the guy who makes it has his own restaurant in the tower...a successful one at that."
With that Harry and Hermione grabbed there food, Harry went with a box of wedges covered in cheese with a couple of drumsticks while Hermoine took my advice and bought the chicken burger with fries. After we found our seats the racers came out, while most of them seemed to be either human, exo or awoken some of them were...
"Who are the guys with the extra arms?" asked Hermoine
"Oh those are Fallen or Eliksni, there one of the species that humanity is fighting against. Though there are factions that are our allies the majority are at odds with us, however these races put all that aside, a brief cease-fire if you will to make sure that these races go undisturbed. A part of that would be the rewards, each racer gains some kind of materials, the closer you come to being first or the more impressive your driving is, the more materials you get. Put it together and its more than enough to get the Fallen to send participants instead of trying to break up the race, now the only enemies they have to worry about are vex, cabal and hive, and even then cabal don't usually cause a problem...something to do with their emperor being a fan of the races even if any of his troops rarely race." said Harry
"An alien emperor is a fan of races? What's he like?" Hermoine asked
"Oh he's a massive prick." I said offhand "But if a bit of video means less problems from cabal then its all good. Now let's watch the race."
Soon enough the sparrows and occasional pike roared off. For the next two hours, we watched the racers roar past. In the end JP came first, even though he had to compete the last lap with a broken arm after he clipped a cliff wall. Coming in second was a Fallen called Deyzunna and Sonoshee herself who had been in the lead until one of the other racers had caused her to spinoff and cost her the win.
"Okay the race is over now how about we pick up your wands?" I ask before leading them back to the ship
Since the last time they were seen both wands had changed in size and colour. Harry's wand had gained an extra inch and darkened in colour gaining a rowan wood like quality with a triangle on the hilt. Hermoine's wand on the other hand had shortened by a quarter of an inch and gained a white eucalyptus colour with a vein-like pattern over the wood.

"TROLL!...In the dungeon...just thought you should know." Said Proffessor Quirrel before going into a dead faint, causing all the students to look at each other in fear...but before they could do anything the doors of the Great Hall slammed open with a big bang causing everyone to scream
"Nah nah...whats all this fuss about?" asked a bored voice
Looking to the voice in question everyone in the great hall saw a girl wearing only a set of baggy pants and a length of cloth around her breasts, something that all the males at Hogwarts noticed. Behind her was a shy looking girl and a boy wearing some strange armour...all looking around 6th or 7th year.
"I'm sorry but a troll has been spotted in the dungeon, I'm going to need everyone to quietly and calmly leave and go..." started Dumbledore before being interrupted
"Hey old man, is this troll 12 feet tall and smells really bad? Cos one of those tried to kill this girl." said the first girl pointing behind her
Looking in the direction she was pointing Professor McGonagall was the first to speak
"Miss Granger what on earth were you doing out there! There's a troll wandering the halls!" lashed McGonagall
"Calm down you old bat, all she was doing was going to the bathroom. Unless you are one of those old bags that think that its improper to go to take a dump?" teased the girl crudely
At this McGonagall becomes incensed "Excuse me young lady but who are you and what are you doing here? And what on earth are you wearing?"
"Excuse me but you said you saw the troll? I must ask, where is it now?" Interrupted Dumbledore
"Oh it's dead, I killed it." stated the girl, grabbing a leg of ham and biting into it with her teeth
"And how could a girl like you kill a fully grown mountain troll?" snarked Snape, turning his nose up at her state of dress. Causing the girl to freeze mid bit
"Are you calling me weak." the girl asked threateningly walking towards Snape
"..hey calm down Caulifla I'm sure he didn't mean anything about it." said the boy hestently, getting in front of the now named Caulifla
Not even slowing down Caulifla kneed the boy in the stomach and tossed him aside
"Young lady I really must protest at the treatment of that young man!" said Dumbledore getting to his feet
"And he should know better than to get in my way, besides what are you going to do about it?" boasted Caulifla
Pulling out his wand Dumbledore replied "I don't think you understand your situation."
"What an old man with a stick...I'm soo scared." causing everyone to look at each other weirdly at the stick comment
"Listen I you need to calm down less I ask you to leave. And even though you saved a students life doesn't mean you can do what you want." ordered Dumbledore
"Yeah I wouldn't do that, she's got a temper like Vegeta." spoke up another voice, this time an old man with a purple cane and a tank top
"What are you doing here pervert?" asked Caulifla
"Fortuneteller Baba told me you got lost so she sent me to get you." said the old man "We don't want to late for the next tournament."
"And what if I don't care and want to stay here longer?" asked Caulifla
"Then I'm supposed to bring you in." answered the old man
"Oh do you think you can take me on?" asked Caulifla before screaming and gaining a golden aura and hair, waves of power radiating off of her and cracking the floor beneath her
With a cry Caulifla charged towards the old man
To everyone else in the room it appeared like she vanished and appeared before the old man throwing out a punch was followed by a flurry of more, all of which he dodged and all of which were too fast for anyone to see. The old man then responded with a heavy punch to the solar plexus and an elbow to the back of the neck causing her to become unconscious
"I do not hold back when I'm toasted, hey got any brownies? My stash is running a bit low." chuckled the old man
Before anything further could happen Fawkes appeared in a burst of flame, shrieked at the old man before disappearing again much to the shock to everyone in the hall
"Sorry about that, ever since my pet phoenix died from food poisoning every other phoenix has beef with me."
(Not my best Omake but I wanted to get it out of my head, will probably redo it in the future)
