Orion found himself faced with an urgent need to travel from Britain to the USA, there was no simple magical way to reach the USA considering all the teleportation points were under strict surveillance under the ministry. And there is no way that he can get there in the legal way in this short time. The idea of boarding a Muggle aeroplane without a passport or a flight ticket made his eyes twinkle, he was feeling like a secret agent getting out of the country on a mission.
Orion approached the Muggle airport under the cloak of his Invisibility Charm, weaving through the bustling crowds with practised finesse. He observed the various checkpoints, his mind buzzing with the challenge of overcoming each obstacle.
As he neared the departure gate, a subtle hand gesture from him created a clever illusion—a passport and a ticket materialized in his hand, bearing the name and details of a fictional traveller. With his magical disguise in place, Orion confidently approached the security checkpoint.
He was using a potion to make himself look older, he didn't have time to brew one so he just used all that money he got after stealing the Gringotts to good use and bought on from the market. He in fact bought enough to make his journey quick and safe.
The Muggle security officers, oblivious to the enchantments at play, scrutinized the illusionary documents with casual indifference. Orion didn't show any discomfort, but he was ready to make changes to the man's mind if necessary.
Entering the departure lounge, Orion marvelled at the Muggle contraptions and the hustle and bustle of travellers. With a sly grin, he approached the gate.
"Bond. James Bond," Orion muttered to himself with a smile on his face.
[What]
Merlin was hovering behind him, the first time seeing a muggle world from this close and their technology, although he knew about many of these things thanks to Orion's memories still it was fascinating for him.
"Nothing" Orion quickly replied and then moved on.
Inside the plane, Orion discreetly took his seat, hidden behind the enchantments of his Invisibility magic. The hum of the engines signalled the beginning of his magical journey across the Atlantic. As the aeroplane taxied down the runway, Orion couldn't help but revel in the audacity of his impromptu adventure.
The reason was going to the USA has something to do with Merlin and his solution to Astoria's problem.
As he said, there were 3 ways to save her.
One, destroying her magic entirely, making her completely a muggle and then rebuilding her magic. To do this, Orion has to find Nicholas Flamel and needs his help and the philosopher stone, a real one this time.
'Yeah, finding the true identity of the Illuminati would be much easier,' Orion just rolled his eyes.
Second, Orion learns a powerful Law in 2 days. Called the Law Of Light. Its particular Law can clean Astoria's magic and make her magic suitable for her body. Technically cleaning the blood curse.
But again it's not possible, he has to master this power to the extent of helping Astoria. Even at his best, Merlin said that it might take him a year to fully master this Law. He might not have that much time.
He is not sure about the books and the movies but is considering Astoria's situation right now. She won't last for that long.
This left him with the last option that Merlin had, making a potion which could do the same as the Law of light.
Thankfully Merlin knew the process but there was one thing which was stopping him and Orion from making this potion.
They need the blood of a very pure creature. According to Merlin, unicorns won't do.
A Qilin is what he needed.
A magical beast which was supposed to be dead many many years ago.
And this is why he is going to USA.
Why some might ask.
Because there exists a man who might have the only living Qilin in the world.
"Newt Scamander," Orion muttered to himself.
[Have you ever been to USA]
'No, this is also my first time,' Orion replied, totally excited to see the USA for himself.
As the aeroplane touched down at the USA airport, Orion discreetly slipped out of his Invisibility Cloak, blending seamlessly with the bustling crowd of Muggle travellers. With the enchantments of his disguise still in place, he navigated through the airport terminals, marvelling at the unfamiliar sights and sounds.
Orion got Newt's location from Emeric and his network. It was not hard to find where such a famous person lived.
Orion discreetly gathered information from Muggle screens and maps, using subtle spells to redirect his steps whenever suspicion arose.
"I just hope that this entire trip is worth it," Orion muttered to himself.
He almost got lost finding this place, The USA even in the early 20s was very developed. But he wasn't here for sightseeing. He just wanted to find Newt Scamander and that's all.
He found himself wandering through the magical streets of a hidden wizarding district. Although the magical world of most developed countries like Britain, the USA, France and more are pretty similar to one another still there are some peculiarities that come with every different civilization.
As he navigated the unfamiliar terrain, not even looking around and hiding his presence as much as possible, he suddenly collided with a peculiar girl whose aura radiated from her.
[Dark Magic] Merlin immediately reacted while Orion too got a little away from the girl as fast as he could have.
But he didn't let his thoughts appear in his mind, in fact, his mental shields were at an all-time high.
The reason was simple, unlike Merlin whose senses are very limited thanks to his spirit form, Orion sensed the absolute dark magic from the girl the moment she got this close to him.
And this was another reason he was this alert for the first time, this girl was able to hide her dark magic so well that even his senses which might be only seconded to Merlin's couldn't find her dark magic until now.
Orion was so focused on his mission that he was not even looking around much and was laser-focused on finding Newt's location. So he naturally didn't even look at the girl. So when he looked at the girl, he was mesmerised
The girl has long white hair purple eyes and glossy skin. Her facial features were nothing less than a Veela, hell they might be even better than a Veela but her eyes, were purple and held malice. Orion could tell thanks to his sense, that was not the eyes of an innocent girl, there was power behind those eyes.
"Watch where you're going, wizard! Not everyone appreciates an unexpected collision," she said but with a low voice and this alone sent chills inside Orion's spine.
Even Merlin's eyes widened like saucers.
[Magic Infuse Voice...] Merlin mutters to himself, this was a very similar technique to Devil's Tongue. In fact Merlin created his technique from this magic here and taught Orion his own advanced technique and named it Devil's Tongue. But the origins of this technique were infusing one word with magic. Exactly what this girl did now.
But it was not Merlin who was at all infected, it was Orion. Orion was almost shaking. Like death itself was standing in front of him.
[No don't do it, handle it without using any magic] Merlin immediately said.
Orion was thinking of using this own Law Of Presence to counter but even he knew that the power difference between him and the girl in front of him was immense.
Hell, in front of his girl, even Nick Iron look like a child.
Apologizing profusely, Orion couldn't help but act like he was captivated by the girl's face and yet afraid for his dear life after feeling the girl's aura, well that last part might not be a act as he really was terrified.
Her clothes were adorned with peculiar symbols, and an assortment of magical trinkets dangled from her neck. But Orion couldn't even see past her eyes as those were enough to completely make him immobilized.
He was not using magic, just for one reason, Merlin told him.
[keep your magic hidden] Merlin again said.
'What do you think I am doing,' Orion replied with agitation.
It took some time before Orion was again able to move, and by then the girl was gone.
"That was no girl. A demon is what she was...." Orion slowly said to himself with a hushed voice as he again took his breath.
[This time, you might be not that wrong, my friend] Merlin said as his face was totally serious and his eyes held a knowing glaze.
----
After a series of discreet inquiries and a bit of magical intervention, Orion found himself standing outside a quaint brownstone in a magical district hidden within the heart of a bustling Muggle city. It was rumoured to be Newt Scamander's current residence.
Orion hesitated for a moment, his mind was already disturbed by what had happened before, glancing around to ensure that he remained unnoticed. With a steadying breath, he approached the front door and gave it a tentative knock. The door creaked open, revealing a cosy interior adorned with peculiar magical trinkets and the unmistakable sound of magical creatures.
