Chapter 69: 69. JUST BUSINESS

2 days later, Magnus arrived at the Ministry with Dumbledore. He really hated the fact that he couldn't go anywhere without a guardian and Dumbledore had claimed to be one.

He could have asked Slughorn as he was the head of the Slytherin house too but the man didn't have as many connections as Dumbledore. He was also not the serious kind and it was not good to take him along.

They arrived at Level 1, Minister for Magic and Support Staff.

"This is the minister's office. Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Dumbledore asked him.

Magnus rolled his eyes, "She's not going to eat me. And it should be her, who should be afraid of me, not the other way."

Ignoring him, he knocked on the door and entered. The Minister was waiting for him already as she sat on the visitor's sofa.

"Welcome, Mr Pendragon..." She stood up and greeted him with a smile of a politician.

Magnus looked around at the office, it was very big and had lots of portraits. But, surprisingly, none of them were moving portraits, most likely to keep privacy. The tone of the room was greyish... a bit depressing to be honest.

He took a seat and looked at her. Although he was tall for his age, he was still not taller than adults. But, he did not get intimidated by anyone.

"Good afternoon, Minister. Pleasure seeing you. Last I saw you, you were there to witness my Inheritance test... Now, I'm meeting here to stop you from taking my inheritance away... Things change so fast *Sigh*." Magnus said, making the minister feel awkward.

"I... I had no power to stop it. Wizengamot decided on it with a majority vote. Even if I had objected, things would not have changed. Also, as the minister, to maintain support I need to support the majority," she argued.

"Well, I did not get to vote. Where is my seat at Wizengamot? As the last remaining descendant of Merlin? You don't believe me? Look at this document. The is the declaration of formation. If anything, the Wizengamot committed a crime by coming after my property." Magnus scornfully said.

Eugenia looked at the old looking paper. It had English written in a very old style but she could still read it easily.

*Sigh*

She sighed, internally accepting that the whole mess was caused by them. If they had not gone after his money, then maybe Abraxas Malfoy would've not died.

"What can we do to correct the mistakes?" She asked.

Magnus straightened his back. He was waiting for this moment from the start.

"There are a few things that you can do. 1st, sign these documents. All members of Wizengamot will have to do the same." He handed a paper.

Eugenia read it slowly. The more she read, the higher her brows rose. The paper said that after getting their Vaults back, they will not try to move them or empty them. They will use it as they were. The Gringotts will be getting a lease of 100 years so Magnus will have no power over it, which was obviously false, he was graciously given such power on the necks of so many dark wizards, how can he just let it go. Gringotts will never make their lease agreement public, and that is where the true magic was.

"Why... this absurd a condition?" She exclaimed.

"Because I know most pure-blood families are scared of me now and they will try to move their vaults to somewhere else. Gringotts can't go out of business now, right?" He explained.

"Fine, what other conditions do you have?" She inquired, just wanting to know more before accepting it all.

"The Ministry must declare Voldemort a terrorist. Then start a bounty program, anybody who brings in a recognised Death Eater will get a reward of 50,000 Galleons. I'll pay for it." He demanded.

This demand was much crazier than the last one. Eugenia shook her head, "As much as I want it to happen, they won't let me. Maybe I can get Voldemort to be recognised as a terrorist but the bounty... It's impossible to happen."

"Then I guess I will just take whatever is in those tens of vaults. Wizengamot is so weak that it cannot even condemn a dark lord and his terrorists? Merlin would not have made it if he had known this would happen someday." Magnus indirectly threatened. He was just trying to strong-arm them in the name of Merlin at this point. Although he hated being compared to him, it was also true that Merlin's name had more pull even now than any pureblood or even Dumbledore.

"FINE! ...I will try it. Is this it?" She asked.

"Of course not... Now, I want my seat at Wizengamot and 1 million Galleons as compensation." Magnus demanded.

"WHAT? This is not possible, Mr Pendragon. This is the money of the people." She argued.

Magnus sneered at this remark of her. "Don't try to fool me. I know how much tax you get from the magical community. All the tax you get is from non-pureblood families, which is not even enough to pay the salaries of the employees of the ministry.

"The real money you make is from the rent from Ministry owned shops in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley and the protection money you take from other shops. SERIOUSLY? Protection money? Is this the ministry or a gang of goons?

"Then, the rest of the money comes from the donations given by the pureblood families, who, use the ministry later because of their donations to do bad deeds or to get away from something bad they did, while in reality, their donations should have been taxes in the first place."

Eugenia gritted her teeth after hearing this. All of it was true, but, how could she change things just like that? This had been going on for hundreds of years, it was a part of their tradition.

"So what do you propose? If you have so much contempt for the system, you must have answers too." She asked mockingly.

"Sure, I do have a solution. But, I'm just an 11-year-old kid. I can't tell the ministry what to do. Just agree to my condition and I'll be on my way back." He said shruggingly.

Eugenia's eyes twitched. After he had said so much, now he realises he's a kid.

"Fine, the next Wizengamot will be held soon. Your seat is nearly guaranteed. However, I can't say anything about your other conditions. You must convince them on your own." She informed him.

Magnus nodded and got up to go back. But he paused midway and looked back.

"Minister, don't think I have any animosity with you. I know you are trying your best but you can't fight an enemy who's already in your house and is stronger than you.

"I too want a peaceful world. Nobody likes to have an assassination attempt on oneself in the middle of the day in a market. Nobody likes when someone tries to steal what is rightfully theirs.

"I just want to be left alone, I just want to study, graduate, and go back to my lovely family. I don't care about any of you. But, if they try to come after me, I can't just present myself on a golden platter. So, I hope you will understand. Take care."

He left after saying that much. But, guilt appeared in Eugenia's mind. She herself had a son. Not as young but still.

She remembered that Magnus, although talks like a grown-up, is still a kid, who just faced an attack on his life. If it was anybody else, they would've run away from Hogwarts, back to their parents' comfort, but Magnus was still trying to hold on and he was doing it very masterfully.

~What have I become? Seriously, letting people bully a child? And not just any child but Merlin's descendant, the heir to the British throne? If anything, the ministry should protect him like the greatest treasure. But the ministry itself is the transgressor. I can just wish him luck.~

"Stay safe, kid." She muttered at Magnus leaving her office.

...

Magnus came out of the office, Dumbledore was waiting for him.

"How was it?" Dumbledore asked.

"Can't you guess?" Magic replied.

Dumbledore stroked his beard, "Hm, from my personal experience of years... It must have gone neither pleasing nor displeasing."

"Wonderful, you just guessed the obvious." Magnus sarcastically said and then continued.

"I will be present in the next Wizengamot meeting though."

Dumbledore nodded, "You do deserve a seat but they will object for a child to be there."

"They should have objected to themselves when they decided to take control of my vaults on my own property." Magnus snarled back.

"True, I voted against it back then but was outvoted... Let's go back now. I have a lot of work at Hogwarts." Dumbledore said.

Magnus looked at him in a questioning gaze, "What do you even do? You don't even teach so what keeps you busy?"

"Managing a thousand-year-old castle is not easy, Magnus." Dumbledore defended his work with enthusiasm.

"But magic runs the castle, not you. We don't even have cleaners or cooks, due to unpaid slave elves we have." Magnus countered.

"House-elves refuse to get paid... they are not slaves," Dumbledore reminded him.

"Yes yes... whatever lets you sleep at night and of course they will refuse. They've been bred for generations to be submissive. If you want to change it, you'll need generations of work too. But at least, in Hogwarts, they don't get beaten up. Oh... by the way, professor... Do you want to invest in the Muggle business? I've got the perfect opportunity for you to make millions." Magnus offers.

Dumbledore stopped and looked at his serious face which looked like one belonging to an old capitalist fox, "Why would you do that?"

Magnus shrugged his shoulders and replied in a serious tone, "THIS IS JUST BUSINESS..."

69, BOYS. THE GODLY NUMBER MAY BRING YOU GOD'S BLESSINGS.

Chapter 70: 70. Adventures of King Arthur

The ministry sent letters to all concerned Pureblood families and those part of Wizengamot. It had a copy of Merlin's creation of Wizengamot paper and also Magnus' condition that they must sign to get their vaults back.

There were a lot of angry reactions, but they could not afford to make Magnus angry either as he held their money. But, now they had to keep their money hostage to even have the right to use it. It was unacceptable but what could they do?

Though they felt happy that there would be a Wizengamot meeting soon and they would get to talk face to face. They hoped to get a response by then, after all, it was just kid versus so many sharp-minded pureblood adults.

...

Hogwarts,

Magnus went back to being busy with Quidditch. Things were going normal now as he reduced interacting with Lucius, or it was the other way around.

In the school as well, some kids from pureblood families had started to stay away from him. Magnus felt that he would soon need to do something to bring these kids to his side, after all, he could not influence their parents but he could stop them from turning to the dark side.

Meanwhile, Ragnar and Snape kept themselves busy in their creation of new potions so they could get rich. Ragnar also started to dabble into Runes with Magnus and Merlin was helping them, although only Magnus could hear Merlin in the portrait. Duck, Chad and Summer still played around in the room. Duck had now grown bigger than Chad and it was getting tougher to keep him a secret. But thankfully, the Christmas holidays were coming soon.

Arthur, though, had been jumping around in various portraits and exploring the castles. His favourite pastime was to annoy the hell out of some teachers by asking stupid questions about the magical world. The teachers also could only suck it up out of respect but they internally cursed him.

Today, it was Dumbledore's turn to get annoyed... or enlightened.

...

Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore was in a very important meeting with the previous headmaster of Hogwarts, Armando Dippet, man was 335 years old and was one of the oldest wizards alive.

It was during his time that Grindelwald rose to power and the chamber of secrets was opened. In his position, he was responsible for the employment of Horace Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore, Herbert Beery, Silvanus Kettleburn and possibly Galatea Merrythought as teachers at Hogwarts. It is also known that he was responsible for hiring Minerva McGonagall, having offered her "a job in the Transfiguration department, under Head of Department, Albus Dumbledore".

"You are right, Albus, who would have thought. The sweet boy I knew was a snake in hiding..." Dippet showed his sorrow.

"That is why I asked you to come here. If there is anything you can remember... that can help us bring him down before it gets too big." Dumbledore asked.

Dippet shook his head, "I can't think of anything... he did ask me what would happen if the attack during the opening of the chamber of secrets continues. I told him that the school would have to be closed. Surprisingly, the attack stopped after that, but, nobody questioned that bright student back then, poor Hagrid was so wronged."

"WHAT IN THE MERLIN'S BEARD? WHO ARE YOU?" Suddenly a loud shout came from one of the portraits.

Dumbledore and Dippet turned to look at the origin, it turned out to be the portrait of old and grumpy, Phineas Nigellus Black, the headmaster before Dippet.

Looking closely, they saw another figure in the ex-headmaster's portrait. It was a tall man, a blue-eyed blonde man in leather armour, with a sheathed greatsword.

Dumbledore didn't recognise the man as he was seeing him for the first time.

"Bow to your king, mumbo-jumbo doers. I am the one and only, the best, the most handsome, King Arthur Pendragon." Arthur introduced himself.

"Huh... you are not my king... GO WAY MUDBLOOD!" Phineas Nigellus Black barked at him.

*SSSHHHH...*

Arthur unscathed his long sword in a swift motion and held it in his two hands. He looked at the old form of Nigellus Black with narrow eyes.

"You sex-dungeon dweller, this Mudblood's mighty sword is getting an urge to stab someone's gut... I wonder who will be its new victim... yes... that was your cue to shut up... you can't use your magic but I can surely use my sword and I know for a fact that you wizards are weak when it comes to hand to hand to hand manly fights.

"I've tamed and hunted berserk dragons with my bare hands, what are you compared to those mighty divine beasts?"

It did the magic and Phineas Nigellus Black shut up in fear. Then Arthur turned to Dumbledore, "So, are you the owner of this fine establishment?"

"I'm not the owner, just an administrator who runs it." Dumbeldore clarified.

"Doesn't make you any less guilty of running a sex dungeon... what do you even do here?" Arthur asked.

Dumbeldore started having flashbacks of conversation with Magnus. It was fresh in his memories as it somewhat hurt his pride.

"I manage the money and make sure kids are happy and are not under any kind of risk..." Dumbledore answered, not expecting any kind of rude comment for this.

But, Arthur was Arthur, "Hmm, so you are like the jesters and eunuchs of my court? Do not worry, I don't judge people on the basis of their profession."

*COUGH*

Dumbledore choked on his lemon tea. "What? No no... I am the headmaster of this school."

"Ah, the head eunuch then," Arthur interjected.

Dumbledore facepalmed himself and did not say anything. Meanwhile, Dippet and many other portraits of previous headmasters were laughing.

Arthur also chuckled, "HAHA... I was just messing with you. I know what you do."

Dumbledore took a sigh of relief, "That was a very convincing act then."

Arthur nodded, "Of course, you develop such skills when you are king. I had even fooled Merlin many times when I didn't want to attend the court and instead desired to court some women... if you know what I mean... hehe..."

"Ah, now that you are here, your majesty, can you tell us how you defeated Morgan Le Fey?" Dippet asked to change the topic. Dumbledore hopefully looked forward to an answer.

Arthur puffed out his chest, "It was simple. I went ahead with Merlin, got her used up on her magic, then I went straight in front of my Bitch half sister's face... ah... did I use Bitch? Mind my language... it was meant to be Witch.

"Anyway, I went in front of my Bitch half sister's face, looked her in the eye and said.

"You can't be related to my blood. I don't go around sacrificing people in the name of rituals. As the king of these lands, I have a duty and the right to judge you... and your punishment is death is... DEATH."

"Then BAM. I kicked her onto a boulder and slid my Excalibur through her heart while Merlin supplied me magic for greater strength. She died while screeching... but, who would have known, she had decided not to die alone... Anyway, dealing with her was easy for the two of us. If it was just one of us, then maybe we wouldn't be talking right now... But, Merlin did say that there was nothing to fear as there were wizards in the world that were millennia old, living in secluded parts of the worlds. If we would have lost and my Bitch sister had continued expanding towards the rest of the world, then she would have died a much more painful death."

Dippet, Dumbledore and the headmasters in the portraits had their eyes shot open in shock. Dumbledore asked the question immediately, "Who are these wizards you are talking about?"

Arthur shrugged his shoulder, "I don't know. Nobody knows. They live secretly and just don't care about what goes on in the world. I'm sure some of them are still alive. I and Merlin had once met one at Stonehenge. The man was so old yet had a muscular body, only his white hair and white beard gave his age away. Other than this, he laughed too much. He told us that he had built the place as a ritual site... mind you... he was not talking about any dark rituals.

"But, when we arrived there, he was actually there to destroy it as he feared the world was getting darker and wizards would misuse it. We were the last users of it, though he only let us use it when we called him Grandpa. He probably had some strange fetishes.

"Anyway... I'm going away now. It's too boring to talk to you old foxes. I'll find my old pal, Sir Cadogan and talk about the golden days."

With that, he turned back to Nigellus Black, "You behave, or you will find my sword itching for some action... hmph."

He left as he had come.

Dumbledore and Dippet looked at each other's faces. Dippet sighed and spoke, "We were naive... We were ignorant, to see how scary the world truly is out there."

Dumbledore nodded, "True. But we can expect these old Wizards to never come out if they haven't till now."

"Yes, we can only expect it," Dippet muttered.

...

On Magnus' side, he had no concern about anything as the first official quidditch match had come. Slytherin vs Gryffindor. The bet made by Magnus had circulated all around the school, making it a heated topic. There was even a small column in the Daily Prophet about it.

Magnus stood in the tunnel leading to the quidditch field. Gryffindor's team was on his right. He looked at James.

"Get ready to run around the castle in little panties." Magnus mocked.

James' body shivered just thinking about it. But he was a Gryffindor. "Not gonna happen. You worry about yourself. Keep the money ready to buy new brooms for my team and yes... run around in underwear."

"Haha, wanna increase the stakes of the bet?" Magnus asked.

*Whistle*

James started whistling to not hear him anymore. Magnus shook his head and chuckled.

~Hmm... I guess people are getting scared of betting with me. Gotta lose once or twice.~ he thought and walked towards the open field. It was going to be a wild-wild match.
