Chapter 19: 19. Boys are growing

Because of Magnus' amazing negotiation skills, which involved simply not replying, he got a deal that if Bobby could also pass the exams he could skip grades too.

The principal didn't want to allow this and even pleaded with Magnus' mother but Grace simply shrugged her responsibility as she didn't want to become a villain in Magnus' life. She knew why Magnus was doing this.

Hence, the Principal had no other option than to allow it. But, he had secretly made a plan to make the test so hard that only Magnus would be able to pass and he would keep a strict eye to make sure no cheating happens.

So, after that, Magnus went and talked to Bobby.

"WHAT? M-me? Skip grades? Mag, you've gone bonkers, I'm good at studies but not as amazing as you. How am I going to do it? Everyone will laugh at me if I fail." Bobby depressingly said.

Magnus patted his now not-so-chubby friend, "Haha, I will teach you, Bobby. Either both of us will jump grades or none of us will. Besides, it's December and we have enough time. The next term will only start in September next year."

"Mate, you are really a walking heap of troubles. Look how thin I've gotten because of all the tension." Bobby slapped his tummy, showing it was very thin now.

Magnus chuckled and replied, "No Bobby, that's just called being healthy. Don't put it on me that your mum stops you from eating fatty food every day."

*Sigh*

"Do you even have time to do all this? Aren't you already busy with all the things happening in your life?" Bobby asked.

"That is why I will be sleeping over at your home twice a week and you will be doing the same. We have to utilise the night time too if we want to become great someday. Imagine, someday people will talk about you on the streets, they might call you 'Bobby, the great mind or something." Magnus fed him words.

"Hehe, it does feel like butterflies in my stomach, but I don't want them to call me Bobby if that happens. Brandon name sounds more glorious." Bobby argued.

"BOBBY, MAGNUS... we're starting the class, take your seats." The teacher entered.

Hearing even the teachers calling him Bobby, Magnus laughed, "No brother, that name is stuck with you for life now."

Bobby grunted and took his seat.

...

As Magnus had promised, he focused on drowning Bobby's brain into knowledge. In the meantime, Magnus also focused on studying higher studies. He felt that it would be good if he could complete his high school before leaving for Hogwarts. The reason being he didn't find any books in Hogwarts' curriculum related to maths or science.

"MAG, how do you solve this? Man, I hate trigonometry. What is this Sin, Cos, Tan stuff? So much stuff to memorise." Bobby complained while rubbing his head in frustration.

"It's easy, Bobby. You just need to memorise the Sin part. See, the Cos is the reverse of Sin and Tan is Sin divided by Cos." Magnus taught him.

Magnus meanwhile was studying physics and chemistry. He felt very much fascinated by Chemistry because Physics felt more like Math to him and he was good at it. But Chemistry was totally new. The world was made up of such fine different things that if one were to study all, it would take many lifetimes.

Like this, slowly they spent their weeks. Magnus was constantly trying to get better at his fire ability but it was slow and he had expected that.

He still took sword lessons from Arthur. The man was overzealous in making him the best swordsman in the world for some reason.

Soon, it was time for Christmas. Because of Magnu and Bobby's friendship, their families also became friends and visiting each other became common. Magnus' mother also enjoyed talking to someone who was not a nurse or doctor. Adam too liked talking to a non-military person.

Grace had even recommended Bobby's mother for a teaching post at a government and military-co-owned elementary school for kids of military personnel. She got the job and the pay was better than before.

After that, their families became very good friends. It was a good thing for Magnus and Bobby as they got to stay at each other's home more.

So, for Christmas dinner, Bobby's family was coming to their home. Magnus was at Bobby's place so he was coming with them.

"You seemed particularly interested in biology today. What chapter were you studying?" Magnus inquired Bobby. Both of them were seated in the backseat.

Bobby coughed out a reply, "Human reproduction."

Hearing that, Magnus couldn't hold his laughter. "Hahaha... my friend, you have officially grown up now."

"So, did you understand everything?" Magnus inquired, holding himself from laughing at the uncomfortable face of Bobby.

"It was simple, yet gross but also interesting for some reason. Ah, how dumb I was to believe that babies come from peach trees." Bobby answered.

Magnus scratched his head, "What? How did you reach that conclusion?"

"It was mom and dad. When I asked how babies come, they told me that when couples want a baby, they go to a peach tree and kiss one of the peaches. Then in 9 months, the peach grows big and a baby comes out of it." Bobby explained.

"Hahaha... well, peaches do look buttocks. What my dad told me was simpler than this. He said storks gift babies to people. You have no idea how many days I spent to spot a stork carrying a baby in the backyard." Magnus revealed his story.

"Why do they hide it from us? And also make up such nonsensical reasons." Bobby wondered.

"Maybe because they think we are too stupid to know. Come on, most of the kids in the class think Santa Claus is real because they find gifts secretly placed by their parents." Magnus said.

"I used to think that too, but it was you who revealed to me the truth after you caught your dad placing the gift," Bobby remembered the incident from 4 years ago.

Magnus chuckled, "Hehe, yeah, actually I thought it was a thief trying to steal my presents because dad was not wearing a Santa dress. I tried to beat him up until mummy came and saved him."

"Yeah, that must've been funny."

Soon, they reached Magnus' home. Bobby and Magnus got out and ran to the main door.

"MEOW..."

Magnus and Bobby's ears perked up. Walking to where the noise was coming, they came to the bushes separating the houses. There, they saw a black cat with big eyes sitting in a box.

"MEOWWWW... UWU..." the cat made noise seeing them.

Magnus went ahead and patted it, "Such a cute furry cat."

Bobby was confused though, "Mag, isn't he... a bit... too thick?"

Magnus looked at the adult furry cat. "Hmm, you're right. He's a big boy. I'm gonna keep him."

"What? Why would you? He's not a kitten." Bobby argued.

"Look, he's in the box, meaning he's abandoned." Magnus pointed.

"What box? He's too huge for it and looks like someone forcibly stuffed him to sit in it." Bobby said.

"No, cats like sitting in such close spaces. Let's see if there is a letter." Magnus picked the cat up and looked in the box. There was indeed a small paper.

"So his name is Chad Jiggles the III. What a strange name." Magnus read it.

"Come on, Chad. Let's get inside." Magnus headed home.

Surprisingly, the cat rubbed itself on his legs and followed him behind. It looks too big for its tiny legs. But that was mostly due to too much fur.

"MEOWW..."

"He likes you," Bobby said.

"Of course, I love cats. Now I just have to make my parents agree to let me keep him. Chad, be a good boy." Magnus instructed the cat, although knowing it couldn't understand him.

Soon, he picked Chad up and entered. Everyone's heads turned. The first thing Grace saw was Chad.

"Mummy, I found this abandoned cat in a box outside the house. Can we keep him?" Magnus asked.

Grace came forward. She didn't have any allergies or anything. She checked and saw Chad had no collar.

"Looking at his soft fur, he does seem to be from a good species. Are you sure you can care for him?" She asked while judgingly looking into his eyes.

"YES... I will care for him." Magnus quickly agreed.

"Good. Welcome to the family then." Grace scratched Chad's head while he rubbed his head on her palm.

"What is his name?" Grace asked.

"Chad Jiggles the III." Magnus showed her the small note. It made Grace's eyes twitch.

"Haha, well, Chad is good. Take him upstairs and bath him while we cook food." She ordered him.

Magnus held Chad in his one arm and made the cat salute with his paw and mimicked another voice, "GOT IT, MOM."

With that, Magnus and Bobby ran upstairs to his room.

As soon as they entered, Arthur voiced. "Oh, what do we have here? A fat blob of fur?"

Magnus turned to look at the portrait. Bobby couldn't hear or see it so he was clueless.

"He's Chad. Our new family cat." Magnus replied.

But, what all seemed to have not noticed was that as soon as Arthur had spoken, the cat's head had turned in his direction for a split second, then it continued to look around the room.

[A/N: Who or what is that cat? Is it a normal cat or some Animagus? BTW, he's not Hats. But to be clear, this novel does take place in an Omniverse where Alexander and his family exists.

Chapter 20: 20. MY KING

The new year had gone by. Now it was January of 1970. Magnus' birthday also came on January 15. So, for him, it was fun back to back. First Christmas, then new year and then his birthday.

Chad the black fat cat had joined the family very smoothly, mainly because he was most of the time too lazy to move. But Chad was still dotted by Magnus and Grace, though they were trying to give him a proper diet to make him healthier.

"HAAA... HAAAA..." Magnus practised with his wooden sword in the backyard.

*Clap* *Clap*

It was Sunday and both his parents were at home. However, Grace still had to go to the hospital on some Sundays due to emergencies. They were watching him moving fabulously while waving his sword.

"Maybe our son will someday become an Olympic fencer," Grace commented.

"Eh, what a sissy sport. I'd rather see him as a boxer. Look at his body, he already has muscles in the right places." Adam argued.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL SWORDSMANSHIP SISSY..." Arthur raged but nobody except Magnus could hear him.

"Come, Magnus, I will teach you boxing." Adam came forward.

"Magnus, beat him," Grace said from behind with a chilling smile.

Magnus put his sword down and looked at his dad, "Are you sure?"

Adam chuckled, "It's okay, son. Don't worry, I will go easy on you."

Magnus shrugged and got ready. He took a sloppy fighting stance. His height was much shorter than his dad and the best he could punch at was the nuts.

"Let's do it, Mag. Punch my palm." Adam tried to train him.

Magnus made a good waist movement and jabbed at the palm. *BAM*

It was a loud sound. Adam and Grace's eyes shot open as soon as they heard it.

"Ah... that was a strong punch, Mag. My palm feels numb." Adam exclaimed.

"I am not weak, dad. I am very strong." Magnus proudly puffed his chest out.

"MEOW..." Chad also spoke something in cat tongue.

"See, even Chad agrees that I am strong." Magnus shrugged and went to play with the cat that was lying on the floor as if a potato.

"Sweetie, your birthday is coming up in 2 days. What do you want as a present?" Grace asked.

Magnus thought for a second. "Umm... I don't know. I have everything I want. I also received £1000 for this year for the yearly George Cross grant. I don't think I need anything, all I want is to have fun with you all."

"Awww... come here. You are growing so fast, give mummy some time to spoil you." Grace hugged him tightly and rubbed her cheek on his.

Magnus embarrassingly chuckled, "Hehe, mummy, you've been spoiling me since I was born. Here, you've got Chad to spoil now."

He put the cat forward and Grace hugged him next. Chad was the official cushion of the house right now.

"Dad, do you remember the promise for today? Are you going to drop me and Bobby at the zoo?" Magnus asked.

"Of course, let's go." Adam was still rubbing his palm.

...

Magnus had a reason for going to the Zoo. It was advised by Arthur, although he didn't tell him any concrete reason, he just said that he should go there and try to talk to animals. Magnus knew he was going to look stupid doing it but he agreed because magic was involved.

Soon, they were dropped off at the Zoo by Adam while he went to the market to buy groceries for Magnus' birthday feast.

"Mag, which animal are you going to talk to?" Bobby asked.

"I don't know. He didn't tell me which animal to find." Magnus shrugged. Unknown to him that the reason Arthur didn't tell about the animal was that it was extremely hard to be found.

"Let's try with that, it's an Elephant." Bobby pointed and headed in a direction. To him, this was a nice simple excursion so he was going to enjoy it.

Magnus also followed. In front of them was a happy elephant named Jumbo. he was eating bananas happily while the people looked at him.

"Talk to him, Mag," Bobby nudged him.

Magnus had no idea how to do that. "Should I talk like a human or make elephant noises?"

"Can you make elephant noises?" Bobby inquired.

"Nope, I guess it is a human language then," Magnus muttered. Then, with shameless behaviour, Magnus started shouting. Other people around just thought they were excited kids.

"JUMBO... HOW ARE YOU?" He shouted.

*BAM*

Jumbo threw a banana at Magnus' face. He had very fast instincts so he caught it in time.

"I have no idea if he is angry at me or understood me and wants to share his banana." Magnus confusedly said.

"I don't think he can understand me, Bobby. Let's look at the enclosed animals." He decided.

Soon, they entered the area where snakes, lizards, spiders and various small and dangerous animals were kept.

There, they tried to speak to many animals. There was a Boa snake in a glass cage. It was sleeping soundly.

"Mate, imagine living a life like them? Inside the enclosed place, not being free." Bobby muttered.

"I know, we all talk about freedom and then go on to enslave animals. I instead like national parks, at least they can live in their natural habitats." Magnus commented.

They checked each animal one by one. But then suddenly, Magnus heard some voices.

"Look at this kid, so ugly."

Magnus looked around to see where the sound was coming from. Soon, he found the origin. It was a cage of komodo dragons. There was a fat kid looking at them with excitement.

Magnus went there and looked at the lizards. Their eyes met and silence ensued for a few seconds.

To everyone's shock, soon all the komodo dragons flocked in Magnus' direction.

"Can you understand me?" Magnus inquired.

They nodded all together. Then suddenly one made a loud noise and soon all others followed.

"MY KING..."

"MY KING..."

"MY KING..."

Magnus scratched his head in frustration. "Stop, stop, don't make a scene. How can you understand me?"

"We don't know." One of them replied.

"We feel close to you, ancestor." Another one added.

Magnus nodded, "Okay, I will come again later. It may take me some time but I will get you all out of here, I promise."

"YESSSS... KING... OUR KING..." they chanted even when Magnus had left them.

Bobby just stood behind him with his mouth wide open. "Mag, did you just?"

"Yes, and they consider me their king for some reason." Magnus tiredly replied.

"THAT'S SO COOL..." Bobby exclaimed loudly. Magnus had to quickly put his hand on his mouth.

"Shhh... anyway, let's go back now. We will ask Arthur some questions. Now, what do you want to eat? My treat." Magnus put his hand on Bobby's shoulder and walked to the cafeteria.

On their way, they passed by a Gorilla enclosure, seeing a big gorilla just sitting calmly, Magnus threw the banana he had received from Jumbo the elephant to it.

The gorilla masterly caught it and then showed a victory sign to Magnus.

"Haha, that was a cool gorilla." Bobby chuckled.

"All gorillas are cool, my friend."

...

Magnus didn't know but a debate was going on inside the Zoo. After Magnus had left, a boa in another glass cage across the hall asked the Komodo Dragons a question.

"Who was he?" the snake asked.

"THAT WAS OUR KING..." a Komodo replied.

"Huh, no, he was my king. I could hear him too. He also felt so familiar... like family." The boa snake said.

"Really? What a mystery." The komodo replied. All of them were confused by the human. But, their brains didn't give them enough mental functionality to focus on the same topic for too long so they quickly forgot about Magnus.

...

As expected, Arthur didn't tell Magnus much about why he could do this. So, Magnus shrugged and focused on his studies. At the moment, he was studying the 2nd year Hogwarts books. He couldn't perform any magic, all he could do was memorise everything. He was so fascinated by all this and that was why he never got bored. All he wanted now was to someday be able to cast these charms and see what they do.

Arthur, meanwhile, just looked at Magnus evolving so fast. He was silently contemplating about Magnus and in the end, he could only make one evaluation.

~He's a monster in everything. I'm running out of sword techniques already. I hope he won't throw me away after using me... ah wait, that didn't sound proper...~

...

Magnus was living a very happy life. But his existence was a constant pain in the head for another person, the Queen. She had been going crazy due to the threat to her whole bloodline.

She saw the stone tablet as the source of the trouble so she even called the military to dispose of it. It was blown by a bomb, thrown into the sea, burned to ashes.

But every time, it would magically reappear on her throne, as if laughing at her that sooner than later, she's gonna have to give the seat up to the rightful heir.

All this constant tension was turning her hair whiter faster. She sat in her office with her head in her hands, annoyed by the headache.

She looked down at the newspaper on the table.

"George Cross recipient, super genius, going to skip 6th and 7th grade? *Sigh* Some people are just born better than the rest." She muttered to herself and threw it in the dustbin.

"Why can't our family have a super-intelligent genius? All I got were dumb pampered arrogant sons and a daughter who don't contribute to anything." She cursed her own family.

[A/N: Honestly, I am enjoying writing this fic. Maybe it's because it's new. I am finding it easier to write chapters for this than Grandpa Universe. But good thing, that fic is nearly over.

Also, the MY KING scene was inspired by Uganda Knucles' MY QUEEN.]
