The Bakugan Wizard
By: Aubrie1234
Dear Readers, another chapter! I know they may seem OOC at times, especially the bakugan, but this is how I imagine them in the future. I also think that, given the chance, Drago has a hard time with coffee. It's either him or one of the other bakugan, and I honestly think he would be the worst with it, as he is the leader for two groups, you know.
Billy and Julie soon arrived, and Hynoid was on a leash. At the sight of him, the bakugan weren't so scared anymore, and the girls petted him like he was the best thing in the world. Billy was also introduced to the people he didn't know, and picnic went on. Julie lent her gloves to Billy so he could show the others more about Atmos, and the twins loved playing with Hynoid. The threesome were barely separated at all during the picnic, and Hynoid kept his eyes on them, since he knew they were young and needed to be looked after.
"Well, I'll admit, Hynoid isn't as scary as I thought he'd be." Percival said, "He's more like a dog version of Drago."
"HEY!" Drago said, "Hynoid is not!"
"You say that now..." Percival continued, "What about all those times you tried getting Ingram away from Shun?"
"Wait, that whole 'fire to the vehicle' thing was YOU?!" Ingram roared, flapping her wings angrily.
"I suggest you start running, Drago." Tigrerra wisely advised. Drago did so, leaping from the tree and running away, with Ingram hot on his heels.
"Need I even ask what happened?" Klaus looked up to the bakugan, raising an eyebrow.
"Drago got Ingram mad, AGAIN." Elfin sighed, "They'll calm down soon enough, but they'll still be mad at each other."
"At least it's better than that time Drago tried coffee." Wilda said helpfully.
"You mean the time he was all over the Resistance vehicle, yelling stuff at the top of his lungs?" Marucho asked.
"Yep." Wilda nodded, "You see, Percival here thought it would be a good idea to see what would happen if Drago tried coffee. After one sip, Drago went crazy on the caffeine rush."
"HELP ME!" Drago yelled as Ingram continued to chase him.
"COME BACK HERE, LIZARD BOY!" she roared. Everyone laughed. Soon, both bakugan were tired out and lying at Shun's feet.
"WE'LL...FINISH THIS...LATER." Ingram panted and, though Drago was also quite tired, he gulped. Shun picked them up.
"Can't you two get along, just once?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No." they both said at the same time. He shook his head. After a while, Shadow, Lync, and Billy went to play some Frisbee while the others continued to talk. Hynoid also got in on the game, after making sure the twins were near the adults.
A few of the others (Marucho, Komba, and Baron) joined the game some minutes later, making it into a great game. However, shortly after they joined, Hynoid started growling towards the bushes nearby.
"Hynoid?" Billy asked, crouching beside his dog. He whispered in the dog's ear, without anyone hearing: "Dark Wizard?" Hynoid slightly shook his head, and Billy knew it wasn't a Dark Wizard. It could only be a magical creature, since Hynoid wouldn't growl at anything else. That meant that it could be the Hippogriff Hermione sent a letter about yesterday.
"What's wrong?" Komba asked.
"I think Hynoid senses something in the bushes, like a rabbit or a squirrel." Billy said, "Since Hynoid likes so many things, this might be a really bad thing. Maybe we should check it out."
"Okay, but don't get hurt." Marucho said. Billy nodded and followed Hynoid into the bushes.
"Where's Billy and Hynoid going?" Bella noticed, attracting the others' attention.
"Billy said Hynoid wasn't liking something, so they went to investigate." Lync said, since he was the nearest to them, "Marucho told him not to get hurt, and they left. I wonder what set Hynoid off, since Billy said he's so friendly."
"That's strange." Julie said, "He was so friendly yesterday."
"Maybe it's a squirrel or something, like what dogs usually chase." Dan said, "It's probably nothing."
"Thomas, Klara, please come over here." Klaus called, walking over to the twins, who had crawled a bit away from the older people. He bent down to pick them up when he heard something in the bushes, and he doubted that it was Billy or Hynoid. His grip tightened around his two children uneasily as he looked up. That's when the Hippogriff appeared.
Hynoid was sniffing the ground and looking around, searching for something, and Billy knew that it wasn't good. He also felt uneasy, like he shouldn't have left his friends, so he took out his ash wand again, more as a comfort thing than anything else. When Hynoid started loping back to the others, he thought that maybe the Crup had lost the scent. However, when Hynoid picked up speed, he knew the dog had found the creature that he had smelled or sensed earlier and was going after it. Billy ran after him, following, but when he saw when he got back to the others he didn't expect.
Klaus was on the ground, Thomas and Klara in his arms, and he was looking up at the Hippogriff fearfully; Atmos had taken action and was flying around the Hippogriff's head, trying to stop it from attacking, and Hynoid was barking at it, knowing that he couldn't get close without getting hurt himself (that was a hard lesson he learned from experience). However, the Hippogriff ignored all this and advanced on the three; the others were too shocked to do anything, which only left Billy.
"Aqua Eructo!" A small jet of water erupted out of Billy's wand and hit the Hippogriff, distracting it and making it turn its attention to him.
"Maybe that wasn't such a good idea..." Billy muttered as the Hippogriff reared back.
"Protego!" The Hippogriff was kept from hitting him by an invisible shield while he brought out one of the cupcakes he had made and threw it over the shield to the animal. The Hippogriff caught the scent from the cupcake and snatched it out of the air, gulping it down. Soon, it had fallen asleep and Billy checked it over, to make sure it was asleep and to see if there were any injuries. Once he was satisfied, he stood and turned to the others, glancing at his pets' to see if they might be injured; they didn't seem to be.
"I know, I know. I have a lot of explaining to do..." he sighed sadly.
"...A lot?! You have more than a lot to explain!" Sirenoid said from the tree, being the first to get out of her shock. He held up his hands in defense.
"Look, before any of you freak out, I know I have explaining to do, and we can do that at my house. Right now, I've got to deal with some concerning this creature," he gestured to the Hippogriff, "It's called a Hippogriff, and they usually don't attack for no reason." He crouched beside Klaus, "Are you guys hurt at all?" In response, the twins giggled and grabbed at his long hair, causing him to smile.
"No, we're just fine." Klaus smiled himself, "And it seems Atmos and Hynoid knew what they were doing. Have they done this before?"
"No, but similar." Billy helped him up and they went back to the group, with Atmos and Hynoid at their heels (technically, Atmos was in the air, so he wouldn't be directly at their heels, unlike Hynoid). Once they were back, Billy explained a bit.
"I'm a wizard, I learned this when I was 11, before the bakugan came." he said, "I couldn't tell you guys, because you guys are known as Muggles, non-magical people, which aren't supposed to know magic, and I was too scared to tell that bakugan, since I was so young and was still new to the fact that I was a wizard. I had to keep that secret for seven years, and it was horrible. I'm so sorry, it won't happen again; I'm going to make sure that no one tries to take that away. I'm not keeping secrets anymore, I'm through with that; you guys are my friends, so I'll tell you everything you ask for."
"Then where were you last year?" Ingram asked; they had recovered during Billy's explanation, and everyone was feeling a bit betrayed, especially Julie and Cycloid, but no one showed it. Billy sighed; this he didn't want to explain until later, but he had promised, and he wasn't about to go back on that.
"Look, there's something else you need to know before I explain. In the Wizarding World, some wizards and witches, female wizards," he explained to their confused faces, "believe in blood purity, such as Muggle-born wizards like me, half-bloods, which have a wizard or witch parent and a Muggle or Muggle-born parent, and then the pure-bloods, which are wizards and witches who are some of the few pure Wizarding families, with no Muggles or Muggle-born wizards or witches. The Pure-bloods believe that Muggles are nothing more than pests," this earned glares from everyone, "and that Muggle-born wizards and witches 'stole' magic from 'real' wizards and witches and shouldn't be much more than homeless people." he flinched as their glares intensified, "Last year, an evil wizard known as Voldemort took over the Ministry, which is like the Wizard government, and he appointed my old teacher, Dolores Umbridge, as minister. She wanted Muggle-born wizards to register before they were given trial to see if they should either have their wands broken and be put out on the street, or go to the famous Wizard prison, Azkaban. I was on the run so I wouldn't register and end up with either of those two fates, and I knew I had to at least do something to help stop Voldemort.
"You know I got Atmos as a pet after my 11th birthday, well I got Hynoid so that he could help protect me; he's actually a Crup, a wizard dog that hates Muggles and is loyal to wizards. I trained him to be kind to everyone he met, even Muggles, but I also made sure he could sniff out Dark Wizards, like the ones that worked for Voldemort, so I wouldn't be captured; Voldemort had some of his minions out looking for rebelling wizards, and they were soon nicknamed Snatchers, since they took the people who were found to be wizards and that they were against Voldemort. I was never captured because of Hynoid, and I kept running and sabotaging many things, which wasn't much, but at least I was having an impact. That is, until a few months ago, when I heard the legendary Harry Potter was back at Hogwarts, my old wizard school, and that a huge battle was going to go on, now known as the Battle of Hogwarts.
"I joined Harry's side in the fight and everyone at the school protected it the best they could, but we had huge casualties. Harry did, however, kill Voldemort and end his reign of terror, and the head of the Auror office, which are like wizard police," he added, "Kingsley Shacklebolt, asked many people who were once in a defense group back in my fifth year, Dumbledore's Army, if they wanted to become Aurors, free of charge. Many accepted, like me, and that's where I've been for the past few months." he sighed, now finished. Julie hugged him from behind, and no one was meeting his eyes.
"That sounds...horrible." Helios said, "And I know that's ironic, because of what I've done in the past."
"I know." Billy sighed, giving Julie a reassuring squeeze on her arm, before glancing around, "And some people from the Beast Division, or at least some sort of Creature Capture Unit should be here already, to pick up the Hippogriff. As an Auror, it's my job to make sure no one is hurt, especially not you guys. The Ministry probably already knows that I showed you guys magic, and they don't want more Muggles learning about it, so they might send more Aurors to erase your memories."
"What?!" Lync said incredulously.
"Don't worry, though. Magic is allowed in front of Muggles if they already know about magic, or if it's a dangerous situation; the Hippogriff was dangerous, and since you guys are my friends, I should be able to convince them to let you all keep your memories of this event."
"I hope so." Drago growled, "If they even try taking away Dan's or the other's memories...They WILL most certainly PAY!"
"I don't doubt it, Drago." Billy said, before there was a very loud crack, which scared everyone except him, and he stood, turning to see a group of people, with Harry at the front, surprisingly. He barked out orders to the other wizards before going to Billy, nodding in recognition.
"I know what happened." he said, "And I suppose you don't want them to encounter the Obliviators?"
"They're my friends, and it's high time they knew. Besides, they won't tell anyone; I promise, I'll even take responsibility for their actions if they do tell!" Harry held up a hand.
"I know the feeling, and though the Ministry sent me with a warning letter and were ready with a full team of Obliviators, I think I can help make this work out." Billy brightened.
"Really?!" Harry nodded and Billy shook his hand enthusiastically, making Harry blush a bit, "Thanks a lot, Harry! If you need us, I'm taking my friends back to my house." He nodded.
"Alright." A wizard then came up, informing Harry that the Hippogriff was secure.
"Good." Billy then remembered the other two cupcakes, which he then gave to Harry.
"I made those for the Hippogriff, since Hermione sent me a letter yesterday. They're filled with a Sleeping Draught and Amortentia, so you really don't want to eat them. That Hippogriff is probably going to love me to bits when it wakes up!" Harry chuckled.
"Somehow, I don't doubt it." he then looked Billy straight in the eyes, serious, "And keep an eye on your friends, at least until this settles." He then shook Billy's hand, "Can't wait to have you and Hynoid back in the Department, though."
"We'll be back in two weeks; you can survive that long, can't you?" Harry chuckled again, then said goodbye. They all apparated away with the Hippogriff, and Billy turned back to the others.
"Well, now that that's over, why don't we go back to my house so I can explain more? I promised I would." No one decided to ask how he was so calm about what just happened, so they got in their own vehicles and followed him back to house. Atmos flew through the upstairs window ahead of them and Hynoid jumped out of the car, going to the door excitedly.
"Hold your horses, Hynoid!" The Crup whined in protest as they parked and got out, Billy going to the door and unlocking it. For once during that day, however, there was something he didn't expect:
"Draco? Luna? What are you two doing here?"
Cliffhanger! Why are the two at Billy's house? Will Harry succeed in making the Ministry allow Billy's friends as Muggles-who-know-magic-but-will-keep-it-a-secret? Find out in the next chapter!
