Chapter 5: 5. Something Magical

Magnus paddled his way back to the park before it was time to return home. He was relaxed to see his father still sitting on the bench and reading the newspaper.

He went to him and said, "Dad, let's go home. I'm hungry."

Adam put the paper down and got up to stretch. Then he noticed the untied shoelace of Magnus. He crouched to tie it. "Alright, let's go. But don't expect to get pancakes again. Seriously, how do you even fit so many pancakes in your little stomach?"

Adams tickled Magnus as he said that and got up. Magnus giggled, "Hehe, I can eat pancakes all day every day. But mummy will never make them every day."

"Yes, Grace can't make pancakes for you every day because she knows you'll get fat if you do that. Well, today we're having roasted chicken so that should cheer you up. It's your second favourite dish." Adam said, dragging the bicycle while Magnus just sat comfortably.

"Yes... I will eat the whole chicken." Magnus cheered. He was seriously feeling very hungry.

They reached their hope and smelled the amazing fragrance of roasted chicken.

"Mummy, you're the best." Magnus complimented.

Grace chuckled and patted his head, "You only say that when I cook something tasty. Is mummy not the best at other times?"

"Oh, no no... Mummy is always the best. I will go and bathe. I'm sweaty today." He said and ran to the bathroom.

Grace looked at Adam, "Honey, it's winter, why did he sweat so much?"

"I don't know, he was just riding his bicycle the whole time," Adam replied, but it also confused him. Grace, being a doctor, decided to check up on him later.

Meanwhile, Magnus was humming a poem he learnt in school while bathing.

"A hot water bath is the best. It feels so nice. Hmm, why did that lady call me filthy today? I don't smell that bad. Was it my sweat? What is Muggle." He wondered while making different hairstyles shampoo bubbles on his head.

Soon, he was done and went to the dining room to eat dinner. There, he ate half of the whole chicken somehow. Both his mummy and dad were shocked as they saw him devour so much food.

Once Magnus felt full, he put down his knife and fork. "*Burp* I'm full."

"No shi... I mean, yes." Adam nearly had a slip of tongue. He was shocked by Magnus' ability to eat

But Grace was looking at him with worry. Since that lost thing happened, she had noticed some changes in Magnus.

"Are you okay, dear?" She asked and touched his forehead.

She jumped from her seat as soon as she touched his forehead. She frantically ran to her room and brought her thermometer.

She immediately put it under Magnus' armpit.

"What happened, Mummy?" Magnus asked in confusion.

Adam too was confused but seeing the thermometer he had some idea. He also touched Magnus' forehead and felt as if his skin was on fire.

"How much is the temperature, Grace?" He asked quickly.

Grace pulled out the thermometer and checked. She nearly fainted seeing that.

"1...110° Fahrenheit." She breathed.

"Is that bad?" Magnus asked with furrowed brows. He had no idea what temperature was considered good and what bad.

Adam ran to wear his coat and ready the car while Grace ran upstairs to grab her purse and Magnus' coat.

"Let's go, sweety, we need to go to the hospital. You have a slight fever." Grace calmly said so as not to scare Magnus.

But Magnus wasn't really feeling anything. To him, his body felt normal. Even better than ever, so he couldn't understand how he got the fever.

"But mummy, I'm feeling good. I don't think I have a fever." Magnus argued. No child likes going to the hospital, after all, needless were scary.

Grace knelt in front of him and put a cap on his head. "Sweety, the thermometer indicates you have a fever. Let's just get you checked up."

Magnus sighed and accepted his fate. He held onto Grace's hand and followed her to the car. But Magnus did feel a bit scared seeing the rushing steps of his mother.

They quickly got into the car and reached the military hospital where Grace worked. She was a heart surgeon, not a paediatrician, so they took him to the child doctor.

There were many other kids with parents but Grace got to enter first as she was a staff and a ranking military officer.

"Sam, check his fever quickly. I checked at home but I suspect the thermometer was wrong. How can a child have 110° Fahrenheit and be so unfazed?" She asked. She knew the doctor.

With a raised eyebrow, Doctor Sam put the thermometer under Magnus' arms and in the end, it also showed 110° Fahrenheit.

Doctor Sam was left in shock. He repeatedly blinked his eyes and checked the thermometer. Digital thermometers were not very common in that era so they didn't have any other way to measure.

In the end, he touched Magnus' forehead. It was indeed very hot. So, he called a nurse and told her to bring as many thermometers as possible.

Soon, there were ten thermometers stuck under Magnus' underarm.

"What's wrong? I'm fine. I don't feel bad anywhere." Magnus insisted.

It was indeed strange that Magnus was acting so normal. But, when the ten thermometers were taken out and they all showed 110°.

Later, they did some blood pressure checks too but found them under normal range but still borderline high.

"Doctor Grace, I have no idea what's wrong with him. 110° Fahrenheit is a temperature at which the body's organs start to fail and leads to death.

"But little Magnus is as normal as any other kid. This is very... unusual. He doesn't even act like a child with a fever. There is a new machine being researched on caller MRI, it can look through the whole body for problems but it will take a few more years to be completely made. For now, we only have blood tests to do.

"Fever usually comes because the body is fighting some virus. So, let's hope we find out what is causing it in his blood sample." Dr Sam explained.

(A/N: MRI and CT Scan were invented in the 70s.)

Grace looked at Magnus in worry while Magnus just played with the stethoscope. She knows about MRI and also knew it was going to take years to be made and usable for the ordinary public.

"Okay, let's do the blood tests." She replied.

Eventually, Magnus ended up getting pierced by a needle. Instead of getting something injected, something was taken from him.

His mood was spoiled and for it, Adam bought him an ice-cream.

With a big smile, he held the cone in his hand and proceeded to eat it. But then he noticed something.

"Oh no... It is melting. I must eat fast." He commented.

*Nom Nom Nom*

Instead of licking his ice cream, he literally ate it in three big bites. Adam and Grace just looked at him strangely, waiting for Magnus to grab his head in brain freeze anytime now.

But that didn't happen. He just wiped his hand with a napkin and looked at his parents. "Mummy Daddy, let's go home. I need to do homework for tomorrow. Mummy, I want pancakes in the lunchbox for school. We will be going to the Queen's house for a field trip."

"Yes yes, let's go, sweetie." The two parents came out of their stupor. Both of them were thinking about Magnus. About what was wrong with him and quietly prayed that it was nothing fatal. Unknown to them that it was something magical.

[A/N: Little Magnus will be going to the enemy territories now. Will his identity be found out? To find out...]

Chapter 6: 6. The Trip to Queen's House

The next day,

It was the day of the school trip and Magnus was excited about it. He always wanted to see where the queen lived and now his wish was being fulfilled.

"Mummy, is my lunchbox ready?" He asked from his room by shouting.

"YES, COME DOWN NOW, MAG. IT'S TIME TO GO." his mom's voice came from downstairs.

Magnus picked up his school bag and went downstairs. There he saw his parents already dressed up in their military clothing. They had to go to work too.

Because Magnus' school lasts till 3 in the afternoon and his parents get off work at 5. He had to spend 2 hours doing some extra activity. So, for the past 2 years, he had been doing extra curriculum activities like swimming and karate. He was into karate these days.

His school was not too far away and it also lay on the way to his dad's office so he used to go with Adam. Grace had her own car and because she was a doctor she would sometimes get late from work and was hence not good for sending or picking him from the school.

"Bye Bye, mummy." Magnus waved his hand.

But Grace caught him before he could go. "Hmm, aren't you forgetting something?"

Magnus paused for a second... then he suddenly jumped and kissed his mother's cheek. He was a bit embarrassed but nobody was watching him.

"Haha, see you in the evening, sweety. If you feel anything wrong then tell your teacher to call me. Okay?" Grace worriedly said. She had checked Magnus' temperature and it was still fixed at 110. But Magnus was very healthy and didn't show any signs of someone being sick. He was also looking forward to this trip so she didn't have the heart to stop him.

Magnus ran to his dad's car and left. He waved his mom from inside.

In the car, Adam reputedly instructed Magnus. "Mag, your mom is very worried about you. I know you feel okay and I believe you. But science and all the previous records say that your body temperature is way beyond normal. So, I just want you to take care of yourself. If you feel anything, just call my office. You have the number."

Magnus nodded, "Yes, dad. I also wanted to tell you something. That day, when I was in the park. I slept under a big pretty tree. It was warm and nice. I talked to it too. But when I woke up, there was no tree.

"Dad, how can the tree go poof?"

"Hah, you were very tired back then, Magnus. You must have dreamt something. Didn't you read Jack and the beanstalk a few days ago? Maybe you had that in your mind." Adam tried to reason.

"Hmm, I don't know." Magnus didn't say more. They had also arrived at his school, Northview Elementary School.

He got out of the car, "Bye dad. I'll be waiting here in the evening."

"Take care, Mag. Remember, if anything happens, call me." Adam loudly advised from the car.

Magnus embarrassingly waved his hand and ran into the school compound. He was thankful that his mom rarely comes to drop him off because every time she would ask him to give her a flying kiss before heading into school.

Magnus ran into his classroom where all kids of his grade were gathered. The class teacher was going to make a rollcall first and then they would leave on buses.

He went ahead and took his seat by his friend. His name was Brandon but everyone called him Bobby. They were best friends because they'd been together since kindergarten. Bobby always had bowl-cut hair and it made him look funny. His family wasn't in a good monetary condition so his mom always cut his hair and this was the best she could do.

But, Bobby was a good soul. He would ignore the bullies. Though it was also Magnus who always stood by him.

"Mag, do you think we will meet the queen?" Bobby asked him as soon as Magnus took his seat.

"Maybe. I saw her in the paper yesterday. She looked grumpy." Magnus replied.

"Me too, she looked grumpy. But I want to see her crown. They say that it has the world's biggest diamond. Must be expensive." Bobby commented. But he was surprisingly drooling.

Magnus shook him to wake him up from his fantasies, "Don't think about how many chocolates you can get for it. We will probably not even get to see it."

"Come on, Mag. Let me have my dreams. They make me happy." Bobby replied.

Soon, the roll call was done and all of them followed their class teacher in a neat line. They all wore similar school uniforms and walked orderly.

Everyone was excited about today's trip. But sad for Magnus, seating on the bus was arranged in alphabetical order. So, he was stuck between a girl on his left and a girl on his right.

As kids of small age, all the boys generally didn't meddle with girls a lot, let alone sit with them. So Magnus was a bit uncomfortable there.

"Linda, isn't it so cold today? I'm shivering." The girl on his left spoke to the girl on his right.

"Yeah, Nat(short for Natalie.) It's freezing here. Do they not have a heater on this bus?" She questions.

Linda then proceeded to take her water bottle that she had hung on the headrest of the seat in the front.

However, she mistakenly touched Magnus' hand. But instead of retraction her hand, she held it tightly.

"Woah, Magnus, your hand is so warm. It's so comfortable. Let me hold it, please. Nat, hold Magnus' hand. It's so warm." She told her friend.

"Really, it's warm." Nat also held his hand. Soon, the two got closer to him because of his body's warmth.

Magnus was embarrassed and was getting red. He was getting angry at his fever now. ~Fever is bad, it's making me warm. I hope Bobby doesn't notice me. Otherwise, I'll be the laughing stock of the classroom.~

Soon after, Magnus quickly retracted his hand away. Thankfully, nobody noticed.

Eventually, they reached the Buckingham Palace. The bus was parked a distance away and from there they entered the palace.

A tour guide told them about various things in the Palace. About various portraits, statues and rooms.

"This is the painting of Charles I by Van Dyck..." The guide kept blabbering.

Magnus and Bobby looked at the painting and chuckled.

"Look at his moustache, Mag. Must've been useful in poking people." Bobby joked.

After that, they looked at a replica of the crown. It looked pretty but that was it, compared to the original, it was lacklustre by the word of mouth of the passerby.

"Must be very heavy," Magnus muttered. But suddenly he heard a voice.

"*Yawn* That bastard must be having fun at that creepy school. Dammit, why did he make me invisible."

Magnus found the words funny so he tried to look where the voice was coming from. After looking for a few minutes, he found a painting on a wall.

Magnus was utterly shocked. He had never seen a painting that could move. The man inside was blinking his eye and also playing with his sword.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not hallucinating. But his doubts were cleared as the painting spoke to him.

"You... can see me? REALLY? Oh good lord, thank you. I was so close to insanity." The painting babbled.

Magnus blankly stared at it. He looked left and right. But nobody was reacting.

"What are you?" Magnus asked.

"Oh, how rude. But I guess you do have my blood in you. Considering how I was at your age, you're a saint, boy." The painting replied.

"MAG, who are you talking to?" Bobby came to him.

Magnus pointed to the wall, "T-That painting, it moves."

Bobby stared back at the wall. "What do you mean? It's just the wall."

Magnus confusedly looked at the painting and at Bobby.

"Haha, he can't see me, kid. He's a Magbob, or to be more precise, they call them Muggle these days. Oh boy, how low the magical society has fallen." The painting muttered to itself.

"Muggle?" Magnus was confused.

The painting showed a shocked expression. "Wait... Are you... Bwahahaha... you're a magbob too? Ah, I would love to see that bastard's face now. You inherited owe will."

Magnus was utterly confused. He had no idea about what this magical painting was talking about. On top of that, only he was able to see it and so he couldn't even ask people.

"Who are you?" Magnus asked again.

"Who are you talking to, Mag?" Bobby asked again.

"Kid, I'm the one and only... The great... The best... Obviously better than that bastard, King..."

"MAGNUS AND BRANDON... DON'T BREAK THE LINE." Suddenly his teacher scolded him and Bobby. Both of them ran to the line. They were leaving for the next site.

The painting shouted as he left, "IT'S OKAY, KID. WE WILL MEET AGAIN SOON. IT'S WRITTEN IN OUR FATE. YOU HAVE MY BLESSINGS..."

Magnus wanted to stay and talk to the painting but he also didn't want to anger the teacher. She had a bad habit of calling parents for any mistake students make. Nobody liked her.

[A/N: Any guesses on who the painting is?]
