It had been a couple of weeks since Astra had arrived in Equestria, she raised an eyebrow as a cotton candy cloud flew by “What the fuck? Is this someone’s idea of a joke?” She turned around and grabbed a giant serpentine creature out of the air. At closer inspection, it seemed to be made of multiple animal parts.

Astra tightened her grip as it wriggled “You are quite odd, who even are you?”

The being started to turn blue she dropped him, the being clicked it’s claws and smirked “I am Discord, the Lord of Chaos. I can see you causing quite a bit of chaos in the future.” Then one of his ears grew much larger “I hear people talking about me, I’ll be back.”

Astra shook her head “Weird guy, oh well better get back to the school.”As she walked by she started seeing buildings flying through the air, she leapt back as she got attacked by an army of donuts. A wave of Fiendfyre turned the hostile pastries to ash, Astra blinked “Wait wasn’t tat Discord fellow one of Celestia and Luna’s former enemies.”

Astra sighed as she headed towards the castle “That explains why so much madness is going on.” The streets turned to gum, Astra burnt the gum away with Fiendfyre striding towards the castle. She entered the castle, noticing the guards were absent. The reason quickly became evident as the banners and suits of armour were attacking the guards. The castle’s carpet was constantly bouncing up and down.

Astra grumbled as she leapt across the walls, easily avoiding all of the random nonsense below her. She burst into the throne room to see Celestia sitting on the throne, surrounded by giant poisonous cakes with razor sharp teeth. Astra’s hands glowed as she sent a wave of Fiendfyre burning the cakes to ash, Astra growled “What’s happening!”

Celestia took a deep breath “Sorry, give me a second.” Celestia then sighed “Discord escaped form his prison, I sent the Elements Bearers to find their elements.”

Astra blinked one hundred times, she then facepalmed “Considering his blatant disregard for reality and it’s rules, he could decided to trap them in an alternate universe somewhere. I’m going to kick his ass!”

Astra teleported outside onto a flying pig, she leapt onto a flying mansion before teleporting onto a ten foot unicycle. As she cycled her way down to the town, she saw a tree growing out a cloud with fish swimming through the branches.

Astra shook her head as she saw a floating sign that read welcome to Ponyville, she arrived in Ponyville and leapt onto a place where the ground looked like a chess board. She focused as she saw Discord sitting on a throne. Astra growled as she flared out a huge aura of darkness, eating away reality around her.

Discord turned to Astra only for her to deliver a flaming kick to his face. Discord rubbed his face as as Astra got ready to fight, the dark flames of Fiendfyre flowing over her entire body in waves “How did you hurt me!”

Astra answered his question by slamming his head into the ground, she then pulled him by a horn and stared into his eyes “I would like if you stop this madness so we can discuss this properly.” She dropped him to the ground. She ducked under a blast of chaos magic and proceeded to shove her foot into his face.

Astra then delivered multiple punches to his gut, bringing him to his knees. Astra placed her right foot on his chest “Now maybe this discussion can be handled more appropriately, Mr Chaos Lord or shall I have beat it into you a little more.”

Discord rolled his eyes “Fine, you are no fun.”

Astra shrugged “I can be pretty serious” she then smirked as clicked her fingers creating a giant flying wrestling ring as as a cruise ship began wrestling with a plane “I can do some crazy absurd things if I want to” she then clicked her fingers causing it to disperse “but that is not my style. Not saying that chaos is bad. Just tone it down, think about chaos that everyone will enjoy.”

Astra got off him and walked away “Think of it as challenge, to more inventive with your powers.”

Discord thought to himself “That is an interesting thought.” He then smirked “I have never been one to back away from a challenge.” Discord teleported away, eager to figure out his new chaotic plans. Astra watched as everything seemed to return to normal.

Astra then blinked as a pie parade headed into Ponyville, she shook her head teleporting into Canterlot only to see an army of cakes pouring into the palace. She saw the look of gobsmacked ponies, she giggled “Well that’s a good start.”

She looked around, in her mind it was good that the buildings were back to where they belong even if some weird things were happening. Astra wondered as she walked, what was going on back in the wizarding world.

Back in the Wizarding World

A gigantic towering fortress built in the Austrian Alps, this was the dreaded Nurmengard which now was the prison holding Gellert Grindelwald. Grindelwald was drinking tea at a table, when he heard knocking. He washed as three aurors entered behind Amelia Bones “Gellert Grindelwald, due to your efforts in the first Wizarding War against the one who shall not be named you are free to go.”

Grindelwald bowed “My thanks Madam Bones.” He then stood up “If you excuse me, I will be on my way. I know of two people who would be glad to see me.”Amelia Bones watched as Grindelwald exited the doors of his former castle and apparated away.

Grindelwald found himself in an alleyway of a quaint little village, he stepped out of the alleyway walking down a narrow street towards a two story building with a small gate and hedges surrounding the building. He opened the gate and walked over to front door. He delivered three solid knocks.

The door was opened by a tall, thin man with hazel eyes and messy black hair that wore glasses. A beautiful woman with dark red hair and almond shaped bright green eyes. The man smiled “It’s been years Gellert, finally free now.”

Grindelwald nodded as they let him into their home “James, Lily I’m glad you two are alright still. How’s Harry doing?”

Lily smiled as they walked across the wooden floor, pictures of Lily, James and their son covering the walls. Their son, Harry ran out with a smile. He looked like a younger version of his father but with his mum’s eyes. Harry looked up at Grindelwald through similar glasses to his father’s “Who is he?”

James smiled “He is the reason that we are still here to care for you. We owe him a lot.”

Grindelwald smiled “Thank you for the recognition” he then frowned “I wish to discuss something with you two.”

Lily turned to James “Take Harry to his bed, this is serious.”

James head up a series of stairs “Come on Harry, how about I show you some magic?” Harry followed him eagerly. Lily meanwhile headed into the kitchen with Grindelwald. It was a plain kitchen, a muggle sink, oven and a cedar wooden table surrounded by chairs nearby. The tiled floor was cold to the touch.

Grindelwald knew this was a standard muggle style kitchen and dining room. Jame soon returned and the three took their seats. Grindelwald dropped the shards of a ring with a stone in the centre “this is the ring of Marvolo Gaunt, a friend of mine discovered it and helped me destroy it. It’s a Horcrux, a piece of dark magic bound to another through a soul shard and taking the life of another.”

Lily looked at him in horror “Who would be mad enough to do such a thing!”

Grindelwald grimaced “You know exactly who would do this. As long as they exist he will return, I hope to get as many as I can destroyed before he can return for they bind his spirit to this world as something less than even a ghost.”

James frowned “Where would you go?”

Grindelwald raised an eyebrow “The Black family largely were Death Eaters, with Sirius’ help I may find something. I thought you should be informed in case he somehow decided to finish what he started.”

Lily frowned “Harry will soon be a student at Hogwarts, we will stay here and keep close watch on the house.”

Grindelwald nodded “I better take my leave.” He grabbed all of the shards, stuffing them into his pocket. Grindelwald apparated out of the Potter household with a new mission, to destroy the objects tethering the dark lord to the world.
