Mar. 9th, 2024 09:30 amHarry hadn't been to California in a long time. He hadn't even been planning to go to California anytime soon. It wasn't like he could go to Disneyland, not with how badly his magic wreaked havoc on technology. The last thing he wanted was to ruin the day for a bunch of families when real magic caused the Magic Kingdom to break down.
But, apparently there was something called a "Hellmouth" in a town in California and the Council was growing more and more concerned with it. Not only that but seemed to be drawing a lot of bad elements to the area, vampires and demons and the like. So Harry had been sent out to figure out what was going on. The Council didn't actually say it but he fell under the heading of "competent but expendable" and considering just how unpopular he was, if something happened to him not many people were going to lose sleep over it.
Technically he wouldn't even lose sleep over it considering he would be dead. So here he was, trying his best to look inconspicuous while lurking around a cemetery. It was not easy considering he was 6'9" and carrying around a big staff and giving off "I grew up partially on a farm" vibes with his jeans and flannel shirt but it wasn't like a lot of people were here at night. So far all he'd actually seen was a cute blonde girl about his own age on the other side of the property. That made him a little suspicious because in his experience small, very attractive women wandering around a cemetery at night tended to be either very dumb or a lot of trouble.
That was why after a while he decided that he should probably find her and keep an eye on her either to keep her from getting killed or from doing something horribly evil. His money was on horribly evil, no one was that cute/hot normally, right? Harry was just about to congratulate himself on identifying an evil mastermind when a vampire leaped out of the shadows to attack her. So she wasn't an evil mastermind but a victim then, but the vampire wasn't going to hurt the young woman if he had anything to say about it.
And what he was going to say about it was "Fuego!" A blast of fire shot from the end of his staff, slamming into the vampire and blasting it back away from the young woman. Harry had actually put a little too much "oomph" into the blast and had actually blown a hole into the vampire when he'd just wanted to distract it so it ignore the woman. It was probably going to be a little unhappy about it if it wasn't a lot dead already.
