HP X LOTM : Please Call Me Mr. Error.

Waking up early the next morning using his alarm spell, Loki sat in his bed for a while as he tried to recollect exactly why he'd woken himself up so early in the morning.

'Ah. Yeah. I need to make that sacrifice to Mr. Devil.'

Loki slithered out of his bed and enclosed his room in a wall of spirituality, after which he set up an altar to pray to himself and performed a sacrificial ritual to send away the small ordinary-looking copper locket he'd crafted last week.

"If Mr. Devil truly is who I think it is, then the locket will make sure I'm notified of whatever he uses this trinket for…but if it isn't our dearest DADA professor…I guess I can just divine about what the item was used for in the Sefirah Castle."

"That being said, I should learn more about him…I'm pretty sure 'Adam' probably has something planned for him, like the other DADA professors before him."

With his preparations done Loki performed the ritual but changed the line that pointed to his sacrifice a little.

"I pray for the lord to help sacrifice this mystical item made for Mr. Devil and help notarise the transaction with your mystical powers."

Once the ritual ended, Loki quickly performed the celestial worthy of heaven and earth ritual and responded to his own pulsating crimson star which he used to create a door to the real world and pick up the locket using his astral body.

With that done, Loki conjured the scene of him praying on his knees which he blurred a little to prevent anyone from finding out who it was and threw it at the crimson star representing Mr. Devil.

In another part of the castle, a person was suddenly woken from their slumber as a crimson light covered their vision followed by a grey fog which led up to a giant man sitting atop the world in his stone chair looking down upon him.

The man almost pulled out his wand and cast the killing curse because of the shock but managed to regain his senses at the last moment as he realised that it was Mr. Error who was looking down on him.

Soon his vision transformed and he was shown a person kneeling on the floor while praying to Mr. Error so that he could deliver an item to him.

'What do I have to do!?' Crouch thought as soon as he saw the copper necklace on Mr. World's altar.

And as if knowing his thoughts, Mr. Error responded.

"Set up a Bestowment ritual for me."

Mr. Devil immediately nodded as the grey fog left his vision and sent him back to his room without anyone else in the castle realising otherwise.

Mr. Devil immediately shuffled around the room and gathered materials for the ritual to set up an altar upon which were three candles that varied greatly from each other.

Lighting up the candles one after another using his spirituality, Mr. Devil knelt on the ground in a prayerful position as he spoke with some reverence.

"I"

"I pray for the power of Errors."

"I pray for the power of the Grey Fog."

"I pray for God's loving grace."

"I pray for God's great powers to bless me with the item Mr. World has prepared for me while taking away the payment that I have to make for him."

"Fireflower, a herb that belongs to the mysterious, I pray for you to bless my incantation."

"Boggart dust, a powder that belongs to the mystical, I pray for you to bless my incantation."

Kneeling on the floor, Mr. Devil held his position for a while when all of a sudden he saw the flame of his candles change colour and turn a mysterious royal blue before a mysterious door appeared on top of his altar.

The door had a swirling symbol with several clocks embedded within it glowing on its face.

There was a subtle *chime* of bells that rang before he could react as the doors opened. Inside his view fell on the spirit world from which it slowly rose as he spotted powerful spirits until his eyes fell on the seven lights that ruled the spirit world.

But his view did not stop shifting even then as it rose even further until it was going through a thick grey fog which slowly gave way for a man dressed carefully holding a thick silver-gold cane, wearing gloves, with the grey fog covering his face on which was a simple golden monocle to expose his features.

He nodded softly and an item that Crouch jr. recognised as the copper chain on Mr. World's altar fell onto his altar before the door closed and vanished like it was never there.

Inside the Sefirah castle, Loki became dumbfounded.

'No way! It really was Professor Moody!?'

'I mean it isn't that shocking…'

'But surely everyone else has noticed that it isn't the same person right?'

'Wouldn't Professor McGonagall have already divined about it?'

'Or did you-know-who use some 'special' means to prevent anyone from finding out?'

'He can't be the same person…not unless 'Adam' was using the same plot from the first year(?)...so given that he's using polyjuice potion...I should try and figure out who he truly is...'

'At least I'll know who to keep a lookout for in case he tries to ever do something without changing his appearance.'

'....now that I think about it..the marauder's map…I should've just used that since the beginning.'

But Loki's mind soon drifted to something else that had taken up a lot of his mental space recently. 

He looked at the card of blasphemy in his hands.

Pouring some spirituality into it Loki flipped it to the fifth page and looked at the ritual required to advance to the next sequence, Sequence 5 Dream Stealer.

[You need to simultaneously appear in the dreams of at least a thousand people.]

'If it was a slow process where I just needed the number, I could've done it with Sunny's help by putting a few people to sleep each day and then appearing in their dreams, but simultaneously?'

'Sunny can't put a thousand people to sleep at once.'

Loki then turned to the darkness pathway blasphemy card and looked at it with a frown.

'There's this ritual too…'

[You must cause a spirit much more powerful than you to fall asleep due to your abilities.]

Loki frowned as he read the ritual that Sunny was currently stuck on.

'It's been a year since Sunny's been searching for a target for his ritual in the spirit world but he hasn't' come across anyone who he could capture.'

'Do I just use the object for a miracle and be done with it?'

'But I don't think the price of such a wish would be low.'

'I'd probably need to fulfil hundreds of other wishes before I could make such a large-scale wish.'

'I could target only muggles for my wish and lower the cost a little but for sunny it'd still be expensive. Even the demon of wishes had to lose all his eyes to be able to only counteract a lava attack from a sequence 5 Abyss pathway soul.'

'I guess I can work on fulfilling the wishes but along with it also search for a different way in which I can achieve the ritual conditions for both me and Sunny.'
