Astra grimaced as the stallion growled “Why are you here!”

Velvet exited the house only to see what was happening “Son, what are you doing to Astra. She hasn’t done anything to you!”

Astra frowned, she had a feeling about her use of dark magic and being a dark mage. The stallion shouted “She is a dark mage, she is dangerous. What if she tries to use dark magic on you?” Astra sighed, that was exactly what she had suspected.

Astra shook her head “Before you go insulting me, could at least tell me your name?”

Before Shining Armour could go off at her, Velvet frowned “This is my son, Shining Armour, Captain of the Royal Guard and right now he is being very rude.”

Astra knew she had to step in before this got out of hand “Captain Armour, I am a practitioner of dark magic. I understand how that may seem but I intend no harm to any of you, I guess your world has a poor history with dark magic.”

Shining Armour growled “Dark magic is the vilest that has ever touched this world. It must be eliminated.”

Astra shook her head “Light and darkness form a precarious balance. Each one snapping at each other fighting for dominance, dark doesn’t necessarily mean evil and light doesn't mean good. Let the light blind you and you will become as monstrous as if you let darkness consume you.”

A flash of light brought the conversation to a halt. Celestia emerged from the light, seeing the angry glare of Shining Armour at Astra. Celestia frowned at him “Captain Armour, Astra is a guest from another world and is over 900 years old. If she wanted to cause harm she would have already done so.”

Shining Armour turned to Celestia “I mean no disrespect but she is a dark mage. Isn’t it illegal to practice dark magic?”

Celestia frowned “No, it is not. All offensive magic with the exception of simple beams is dark magic of a kind. My sister was the greatest practitioner of dark magic in the kingdom other than the individual in front of us.”

Astra sighed “Can I just head inside, I could use some tea before doing anything else today.” Celestia smiled as she headed in, Velvet nervously following the Diarch inside. Astra following with Shining Armour behind her.”

Night Light was sitting on his armchair, not even noticing as the four of them heading to the dining room. Soon enough all four of them were seated at the table with a cup of tea, Celestia turned to Astra “So how would we go about going to your world?”

Astra smiled “Well we would have to anchor a portal to an object of large size and build a building around it.” She then frowned “While it may cause an initial incident meeting with the Muggles, which are the non-magical community it will be of greater benefit to you as the magical community are very bigoted and would treat you as lesser for not being human.”

Velvet blinked “Should I be here for this? Isn’t this confidential.”

Astra frowned “Just don’t tell anyone and you should be fine. It will be announced at some point.”

Celestia smiled “I will take what I have learned here to prepare for the next step to take with a few trusted individuals. The guard will need to be ready.”

Astra turned to Shining Armour “We will use a show of force to keep them form doing anything drastic, they largely rely on a small group of elites known as Aurors. But with excessive numbers we can show them that they won’t win a war against you. That we have enough power to wipe every wizarding government in the world out should they decide to engage with us. Be prepared for war should it come to that.”

Shining Armour grimaced “I don’t want to send my soldiers into war if they can help it.”

Astra sighed, that was not something she wanted either. She took a deep breath “That is the worst case scenario if the wizarding world is stupid enough to fight a war they can’t win. I hope I don’t bring war to you.”

Celestia sipped at her tea “So what do you suggest would be a good plan?”

Astra smirked “We will build an embassy, that will draw the attention of the nation’s government. How quickly can that be built?”

Celestia giggled “We could have that down within a day once the blueprint, a top priority project like this won’t take very long for us. With several construction crews this will be quick and easy.”

Astra nodded, to her this would spark great change to her homeworld and to this one. With muggle technology she was hoping to see the stars one day. Astra frowned “I would like to keep my official involvement to a minimum. I’ll work behind the scenes to make everything go smoothly. It’s the Slytherin way.”

Celestia nodded “Keep your trump care hidden till the point when it is needed the most. Where revealing it will have the most impact. I can see the wisdom in your words.” She then turned to Shining Armour “Will you come with me. We have much to discuss.”

Shining Armour frowned “Before we leave, what do you know of war?”

Astra closed her eyes “Alright I’ll tell you, it was during the height of the war in Muggle London.”

During the Height of the 1st Wizarding War

Astra stood there, hundreds of flaming dragons orbiting around tearing through giants, werewolves and countless Dark wizards under Voldemort’s command. Astra roared sweat pouring for her “Fiendfyre!” Two more flaming dragons emerging from her hands, a giant ran over trying to step on her.

Astra apparated behind him and grabbed the giant by the am before throwing him into the air where a Fiendfyre dragon torched him. Astra growled as the giant’s scorched corpse hit the ground “What the fuck is the Ministry doing!”

Astra then saw powerful bolts of lightning striking multiple targets, a tall light blond haired man with a white moustache landed. He placed his wand into the ground, wild blue flames surrounding the area preventing any beast from moving past, burning the werewolves and dark wizards trying to get close while leaving smouldering corpses of giants.

Astra ran over and gave him a hug “Grindelwald, you’re a sight for sore eyes. They let you out.”

Grindelwald smirked as he tapped to metal bands “The Ministry was pretty desperate to stop Voldemort. They just put two Admonitors on me and sent me on my way, I will return to my castle prison once this is over.”

Astra leapt past the blue flames crushing as dark wizard’s skull with her hand, she sent out a blast of Fiendfyre sideways torching a whole group. Leaving ash behind and giant corpses behind. Grindelwald was about to follow suit when a shadow landed, a figure in a dark cloak approached.

Grindelwald grinned, he was hoping for this. He leapt out of the flames firing a powerful bolt of lightning towards the wizard only to see green sparks come flying out, Grindelwald smirked “I was hoping to face the new Dark Lord.”

Voldemort scowled “You failed Grindelwald, it’s my turn to succeed where you failed!” Voldemort started to shake as his spell pushed back as Grindelwald steadily poured out more power before sending the new Dark Lord flying. Voldemort turned to dark smoke and escaped, he apparated over to Astra only to see countless giant corpses lying around.

Astra sighed as she looked around “Such loss of life because someone had daddy issues. I always knew he would be trouble but to be responsible for this.”

Present Day

Velvet gasped “That’s horrible, who would do such a thing.”

Astra grimaced “A disturbed individual, born because his mother used magic to trick a muggle into giving her a child. A child born of lies and deception, from the blood of my family’s house. Some wizards and witches are truly cruel.”

Celestia frowned “I see, this means we will have to be extra careful. Some of his followers must still be out there.”

Shining Armour frowned “Well this has been enlightening but we must take our leave.”

Celestia smiled “I agree, I will visit again.” Celestia and Shining Armour left, Shining Armour giving Astra one last dirty look as they did so. Astra was not bothered by his attitude, she remembered the most worst part. Shortly after the Dark Lord’s fall she arrived at the Longbottom residence to hear screams.

Velvet shook her “What’s wrong?”

Astra sighed “I was thinking about something painful.” She remembered having to mentally heal the minds of the two members of the Order of the Phoenix “Having to heal the minds of those who were tortured by others is difficult. Had I gotten there any later it may not have been fixable.”

Velvet looked at her “What happened to the perpetrators?”

Astra frowned “Barty Crouch Jr managed to escape but I deal with Bellatrix Lestrange as well as her husband and brother in-law that did the deed. I personally applied the Dementor’s Kiss to each one.”

Velvet frowned “What happens to them?”

Astra grimaced “I consume their soul, gaining the magical power of the caster. I’m not sure if the same applies to a non-animagus Dementor. Still it is reserved as a punishment for those who have done truly bad things, only the worst of prisoners go to Azkaban where Dementors reside.”

Velvet shuddered “That is so cruel!”

Astra sighed “Yes but it’s not like they don’t deserve it. Plus Dementors need somewhere to stay else they will start attacking the whole world, it prevents them from hurting innocents.” she then frowned “As for me most times they are hunting for me anyway, they are asking for trouble.”

Velvet lifted up her tea in her magic, taking a sip before speaking “You are talking about those who have no trace of empathy in them. I still don’t like but at the same time I can understand why it is that way.” Astra and Velvet enjoyed their tea together hoping for the rest of the day to be quiet.
