The air was thick, the ground started to crack where Orion stood, and the pressure around the graveyard was increasing.
'This...this magical power...' Morgan, who had been enjoying and playing with Orion, suddenly looked horrified.
"I have no idea how you are even alive after all this time, but mark my words...once I'm done with you, you will regret staying alive for this long," Orion said while his magical power continued to rise, affecting the environment around them.
The somewhat bright sky above the graveyard dimmed with each passing second, and it felt like everything centered around one person... none other than Orion.
A lingering dread built up in Morgan's heart, and she immediately acted. Without any wand, she pointed her hand towards all the graves, which seemingly turned into dust. The dust then flew near her and rotated around her like a dome, protecting her.
Her instincts were spot on because the next second, a terrible shockwave blasted out from the center of where Orion was standing. It wasn't an attack but just a mere shockwave as Orion released his magical power.
Seeing the shockwave of magic alone was enough to put Morgan into a very tense state.
'7...8, no, this guy is....' Morgan muttered with complete horror.
"I was holding back all this time. Had to...
But I don't give a fuck anymore.
Nobody touches my Waifu," Orion said with a low tone, but the magical power emitting from him was so powerful that his low voice was also magnified, even without him knowing.
"But not here... let's not disturb the deceased more than we already have," Orion said and snapped his fingers.
Just that second, Morgan felt her surroundings changing. She felt like she was flying, with no ground beneath her legs, and the only thing she could see was a clear blue sky.
And the next second, she was falling.
'No, it's not an illusion...
He teleported both of us this high with just a snap...?' Morgan's eyes widened, and she quickly mobilized her magic to float in the air while also materializing a crimson red staff in her hand.
It was clear to her that the boy in front of her was strong... way too strong for her to hold back anymore.
She had barely managed to regain her previous power, but it wasn't strong enough.
All those years of running around, uprooting lost artifacts... making sacrifices all to regain her previous power. And now she faced this monster.
'Ambrosius... men of this line are always a menace,' she grumbled under her breath and brought her magic to the front to protect herself from what was about to come.
Orion, seeing her using a staff, remembered that Merlin used one in the Fate World. His thoughts went to his new wand, and he sighed internally. That wand was strong, maybe the strongest he had seen, but even that wasn't good enough to handle his real magical power.
'Maybe I should have taken Merlin's offer to make a wand for me...'
"Bombarda," Orion thought, but then his face turned cold, and he raised his hands towards her, saying only this.
He was wandless, but that only intensified Morgan's dread. She immediately used the dust still rotating around her to create a shield in front of her.
"BOOM....
The air shifted, and the magically enhanced shield she created using a very high degree of transfiguration was broken apart in an instant.
She was thrown back, only her staff protecting her from that overpowered Bombarda, which almost felt like a nuke blasting right in front of her face.
"No... I can't fight him here... this terrain is not in my favor," she told herself with urgency and dived down, trying to bring the fight closer to the land.
Orion, seeing her running after just one attack, sneered internally. He had been unsure earlier, but seeing how that Bombarda was blocked by just a mere shield made of dust, he was sure.
'Law of Matter... so that's what you excel in, huh?' Orion muttered, now understanding why she was urgently flying down. She needed matter to manipulate to fight at her highest degree.
That's how she created such a lifelike puppet of Hermione. Transfiguration was never used for fighting in the first place; though its power is significant if used well, its real strength lies in its versatility.
"Fine... let's see what you can do when you have enough matter to manipulate," Orion said after pondering the situation. He vanished from his place as well, ready to start the fight for real once they both reached the ground.

While this was happening, people at Hogwarts were getting tense and worried. Both Rose and Daphne were concerned for Orion... though not in the usual sense, they were worried because they knew he would most likely put himself in some kind of trouble, though one that he couldn't handle.
Not likely... right!
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM...
Suddenly, an ear-shattering sound erupted. This immediately startled everyone. Their natural reaction was, of course, to bring out their wands to defend themselves.
Because they were still outside, they were able to see what happened.
Far away up in the sky, a gigantic explosion took place...
The explosion was magical in nature, and sensing the terrifying magic fluctuating around the area, all of them, including Dumbledore, reacted internally.
"Merlin's beard, what was that..."
"I don't know, and I don't want to find out either."
"Hurry... we have to inform the Ministry."
"Students... go back inside now."
Countless people immediately became agitated and started taking action left and right.
Only Dumbledore, Rose, Daphne, and a few others knew who could be responsible for this blast.
"Orion..." Both Rose and Daphne called out at the same time.
They had no way to find out whether it was him or not; they didn't have the ability like Dumbledore to sense the magic from afar and identify the source. But they internally knew in their hearts that it was Orion.
Something inside was telling them that this time things were different...
