Chapter 75: 75. Christmas Holidays

[ANNOUNCEMENT]

[Prince Philip, the husband of the Queen, has passed away. He is portrayed in a negative role in this fictional work. This work of fiction is in no way meant to hurt the sentiments of any person or tarnish the image of a person.

May his soul rest in peace.]

---------------------------

Magnus remembered this name. The letter he received that told him about the ministry taking over his vaults was signed by this woman.

What actually made him remember her, even more, was the fact that he could not find any historical record of her family. She was in Wizengamot so she should belong to an old powerful family or she herself must have done something great. But there was nothing.

Magnus waited for the woman to speak. He had no idea what kind of person she was. But from the various facial reactions, he could feel that she was more disliked than he was.

~How bad could she be?~ he wondered. And God decided to answer him.

"Hehe... Yes, Mr Pendragon, I would like to know about your inheritance. Can you provide evidence that you are really the descendant of Merlin? Forgive my impudence but it is a great matter and we can not just take the words of Goblins, even less now as for some reason they listen to you." She asked.

Magnus sighed, "You just gave the answer to your own question, are you this slow to realise that?

"Let's try to revise what happened in the past few months. One, I was attacked as soon as I was confirmed to be a descendant of Merlin and Arthur. Two, you all tried to take my vaults and got punished for it by Merlin's own magic. Three, the fact that Goblins, who hate all humans, listen to me means I hold something they value. What could be so valuable that they would listen to me? And why would such a valuable thing be owned by me?

"You have answers to these and that is the answer to your question," Magnus said.

"Hm, then can you tell us how you also inherited King Arthur? For all we know, Merlin and King Arthur didn't have any children in their lifetime." Umbridge asked.

Magnus folded his arms and coldly replied, "That is personal information. I am ready to tell you if you don't mind telling me how you got the Wizengamot seat? I know about each member here and their history but you are the most mysterious one. There was no mention of the Umbridge family anywhere in the records."

Hearing Magnus' counter, her face turned ugly. What just Magnus asked would put her on the radar of so many people who did not care about her before.

She smiled creepily, "Hehe... it's fine. Everyone has secrets."

~Argh... I hate her.~ Magnus thought to himself.

Wasting no more time, Eugenia quickly asked everyone, "Any more arguments?"

Nobody raised their hands. 1 million galleons was not a lot of money when seen as a collective amount of money from all these rich families. So, they did not protest much.

In the end, Magnus got what he wanted. He got the money and also the guarantee that all their vaults will not be emptied from Gringotts. He was also not going to cause any big scenes again related to Gringotts as it would be bad for the bank.

But, the last agenda, of putting a bounty on Death Eaters, was not passed. They said it would be a security risk as normal people could be mistaken for Death Eaters. They were just trying to somehow discredit his idea. Magnus did not pursue it much either, as he could issue bounty through other ways. However, they did acknowledge Voldemort as a terrorist

But just as soon as the meeting ended, Magnus had so many of them coming to him and inviting him to various parties.

"Sorry, I'm a Hogwarts student, I need to be in my bed by 9. I will meet you later." Magnus gave this standard reply to all and carried on.

As soon as he came out of the meeting hall, he saw Moody. He was now using a fake leg to walk.

"How are you?" Magnus asked.

"Trying not to lose any more of my organs that come in pairs." Moody grumpily replied.

Magnus chuckled. Indeed, by now Moody had lost his eye and a leg.

"Good job, kid. You're moving up the ladder very smoothly. But stop creating such storms every time you do something." Moody advised.

Magnus nodded, "I'll be going for the Christmas holidays so you can be sure about there not being any more news from me."

Hearing this, Moody's face changed a little. Things were not going simple in Magnus' parents' life either. He was told about the sudden irregularities by the order member keeping them safe. After investigating it a little, he learned that the royal family was targeting the Grant family.

~I don't think there is going to be much calmness this Christmas.~ he thought.

"See you later," Magnus said bye and went back to Hogwarts.

...

Magnus though didn't just go directly to Hogwarts. Instead, he visited Gringotts to tell the head goblin about the agreement reached in Wizengamot. So the bank now again resumed its normal functioning.

After arriving at Hogwarts, Magnus met with Snape. He handed over a piece of paper to him.

Snape wide-eyed, read it completely. It was an agreement for the Prince family to take Snape and his mother back in. And only then would they get access to their vaults back.

Because the Prince family was not a part of Wizengamot, Magnus had the freedom to deal with them independently.

"I hope they will agree to it," Snape muttered.

"They got no other choice. They would probably use their money to fund the dark lord anyway, so if it's with you, it can be safely kept." Magnus explained.

"HEY HEY... WHAT DID YOU BRING FOR ME?" Ragnar asked suddenly.

"I didn't go there to get presents, Ragnar. Anyway, come here Duck, Chad and Summer. I got you three presents." Magnus voiced towards his three pets.

"HEY... YOU DID BRING THEM PRESENTS." Ragnar protested.

Magnus looked at the plushie toys and showed them to Ragnar, "Umm... You can take one if you want."

Snape saw them act so immaturely sighed and went back to study.

...

London,

"Magnus will be coming soon. We still haven't found new jobs." Grace walked in circles in the living room.

"Same here. They first show so much enthusiasm to have me in their company. But the next day they so rudely deny my application." Adam said.

*DING DONG*

The doorbell rang and Adam opened it. It was the postman.

Adam took it and read it as it was from the military. Grace and Adam had both taken voluntary retirement by now, so they had no idea what this was.

But when Adam read it, his brows furrowed.

"What is it?" Grace asked.

"They... It says that our pensions will be put on hold due to an internal investigation." Adam read out loud.

"WHAT?! That's so absurd. Couldn't they find a better reason to make us go broke?" Grace fumed in anger.

Adam sighed, "I told you, someone big is after us for some reason. If this goes on, we won't be able to afford this lifestyle."

"When Magnus comes, we will slowly tell him about this. He's a good kid, he will understand." Grace said in a self-assuring way.

Adam and Grace were so confused about why and who was targeting them and who it could be with so much influence. They tried to remember any conflict in their life but nothing could explain what was happening.

But it was not their fault as they couldn't just know Magnus' bloodline and that the Royal family was trying to make it hard for them.

Though Magnus will soon be coming home, it remains to be seen how he reacts to these threats.

...

Hogwarts,

"So, packing bags? Are you bringing us along?" Arthur asked Magnus.

Magnus nodded. "Yes, you and Merlin both."

"Hmph, you can leave him here. He likes the walls of this castle more."

*BAM*

"Who likes the walls?" Merlin arrived in his portrait suddenly.

"Ahahaha... My friend, I was just joking. Let's go on the holidays. I've heard so much about Christmas but don't know what it really is." Arthur said.

"It's not much. Family gets together, have fun and exchange gifts." Magnus explained.

"Sounds like a good old feast night back in my days. Will there be beauties to dance and entertain me?" Arthur remembered.

Magnus ignored his words and went to Ragnar. He was originally going to stay in the school as he had no family. But Magnus told him to just come with him.

"Are you sure? Won't your family mind?" Ragnar asked nervously.

"Why would they? Stop being an introvert all of a sudden and be cool." Magnus assured him.

Ragnar sighed. He was feeling a bit nervous honestly. For some years now, his interactions with adults were limited so he always felt a bit weird.

Now, he was to live in another person's home. ~I hope they will like me.~

Chapter 76: 76. Back Home

Everybody got on the Hogwarts express. Magnus shared his compartment with Sirius and his friends.

"What will you be doing this holiday, Sirius?" Magnus asked.

"Probably get my ass whooped by my mother first, and then hear her scream about me being your friend." Sirius distastefully answered.

Magnus chuckled, "You can always come to my place if you feel like running."

"I don't think that will be possible. I will be kept locked in my home until the start of the next term. They will try to indoctrinate me into their ways of thinking." Sirius said.

"Huh, what else can you expect from Black Family," Snape commented.

But, Sirius did not get angry. Sure, he and his friends sometimes called Snape some names but it was all in fun and games now because of Magnus being their middle link.

"You're right, Snivellus. Ah... I hate my family." Sirius muttered.

"What about you, James? What will you do?" Magnus inquired.

James proudly answered, "Hehe, I will be going to Australia with my family. My dad's friend lives there."

"Cool. I'm just gonna laze around in my home and eat tasty pancakes. I will turn Ragnar into a fine pancake enjoyer this holiday." Magnus claimed.

Ragnar shuddered, "Eh... I think I'll pass. I don't have my head's screw loose like you."

*Knock Knock*

"Anything from the lot, dears?" the food trolly lady came.

Magnus had his eyes shine, "Lady, do you have pancakes?"

She looked confusedly at her trolly and denied, "I'm afraid I don't. Anything else?"

Magnus was disheartened but he cheered soon again, "OKAY... today it will be my party. GIVE ME EVERYTHING!"

*Whistle*

Sirius whistled in affirmation. After that, all of them ate like hungry animals. Except for Snape though, he always tried to act with a standard, though Magnus did purposely give him a chocolate bar that he had molten with his hands. It ended up making Snape's hands a mess.

Besides this, he was also secretly stuffing some food in his magically expanded suitcase inside which Summer and Duck were hiding. Chad was his official pet so he did not have to hide him.

The train reached Platform 9 ¾ at Kings Cross Station 5 in the evening. All the parents were waiting at the platform for their children. Everyone had changed their clothes to non-Hogwarts sets by then.

Magnus dragged his luggage and disembarked the train. He just had to look for a few seconds and found tall Adam looking around.

A big smile grew on Magnus's face as he quickly dragged his luggage towards them with one hand and Ragnar by his collar with the other hand.

"MOM! DAD!" he voiced.

Hearing him, Grace and Adam's faces grew a smile. They looked at him coming closer.

*WOOSH*

The next moment, Magnus found himself in a tight hug of Grace and then Adam's. Contrary to most other kids, he didn't find it embarrassing at all. In his mind, showing love to the family shouldn't be embarrassing.

"Look how tall you have grown." Grace fawned over him. Magnus then got out of the hug and dragged Ragnar forward.

"Meet Ragnar, he will live with us over the holidays," Magnus told his parents, and then went closer to his mother's ears and whispered.

"He has no family," he revealed.

Grace felt sad for Ragnar and gave him a motherly hug, "Of course, little Ragnar can stay with us."

Ragnar shyly smiled after hearing that and thanked her, "Umm... Thank you, Mrs Grant."

Grace patted his head, "Just call me Aunty... no need to be formal with us."

"Mum, Dad, just a second, I need to say bye to a friend." Magnus suddenly ran towards where Snape was.

Snape was with his mother. Snape's mother looked like an extra depressed female adult version of Snape. She had long black hair, though her complexion looked white to the point she looked physically sick. She was thin, hunched, sour-faced and sallow.

"Hello, Mrs Snape." He greeted her.

Eileen Snape (née Prince), had nearly stopped using her magic entirely since she married her husband, even more so after he found out she was a witch. She was not a beautiful woman and in her years in Hogwarts, she was constantly bullied for her bad looks.

So, after graduation, when a muggle actually showed interest in her that she had never felt before, she immediately fell in love. But, she never told him that she was a witch. Although the starting months of her marriage were happy, everything went to waste once she made the mistake of telling her husband about her magical side.

Since then, her husband hated her and blamed her for all misfortunes that would fall on him. Eventually, he turned into a drunkard and abusive towards her. She loved her son initially, but soon due to constant abuse from her husband, she started to ignore Snape too.

She was alone in this as her family had disowned her. She had no good skill to help her earn money in the magical world either. Hence, poverty was her only way of life. Her days went on worrying about the future and her nights went on dreaming about the dark possible future.

That was until she got a letter from Snape about returning to the Prince family. Until then, she had no idea what was going on in the Magical world. After that, she bought a few newspapers and finally found out about the storms going on there.

About the Dark Lord, the death eaters and of course, the descendant of Merlin and the heir to the British Throne.

"Hello, Mr Pendragon." She greeted him.

"Haha, just call me Magnus. Anyway, Sev, I will come to your place in a few days," he said. He was just indirectly telling Mrs Snape about it.

Snape just nodded towards him and left with his family. After that, Magnus returned to his parents and left for home in their car.

"Aw... I missed you, Chad." Grace caressed the black cat sitting on her lap.

"MEOOW..."

"Mum, Dad... how are you two? How's work?" Magnus asked.

Grace and Adam's faces turned serious for a split second but they soon brought back a smile. They thought Magnus did not notice it but he saw it in the rearview mirror.

~What happened?~ he wondered.

"Everything is fine, sweety. You tell us about your school. How was your semester?" They changed the topic.

"It was so much fun. I even participated in a sports tournament and won. I am also very good at my studies. How is Bobby by the way?" He asked.

"Oh, Bobby is very busy with his schools these days. His mother told me that he comes home late due to extracurricular activities." Grace answered.

~Heh, so running a company is an extracurricular activity for him now?~ Magnus chuckled internally.

After half an hour of the car ride, they reached home. Magnus was going to share his room with Ragnar.

"Sweetie, dinner will be ready in 2 hours, take a bath and freshen up," Grace told him.

Magnus nodded and dragged Ragnar and his luggage upstairs. But once he was gone, Grace let out a long breath.

"HAAAH... I felt suffocating when he asked about our work. How will we tell him?" She asked Adam.

"I think you are making it too big of a deal, Grace," Adam said.

"No, I am not. Do you not understand the problem we are in? If we do not find a good job then we won't have enough money to buy Magnus the things he wants. What if he has to buy something expensive for his school?" she asked.

Adam had to agree, this could be a problem in the future.

"We will tell him then." Adam decided.

Grace agreed but with a condition, "Yes, but we will not tell him about someone targeting us."

...

Magnus and Ragnar were actually hidden just a few steps up the stairs. He wanted to hear what the hell was going on in his family.

"Did your parents lose their jobs?" Ragnar asked confusedly.

Magnus shook his head, "I don't know. But we will soon find out. But... I guess I also need to tell them about my bloodline."

Ragnar nodded, "You are probably the richest wizard in existence so them worrying about money is really unnecessary. But, who targeting them?"

Magnus did not reply. He was deep in thoughts and also a bit angry. He had a feeling that all this was related to him and he was the cause of uneasiness in his parents' life. He felt bad about it.

"Whomever it is... I will not let them calmly sleep for the rest of their lives now." Magnus expressionlessly replied and went upstairs to his room to unpack his stuff and also let Duck and Summer out.

Ragnar shuddered, "Remind me of never standing against you."
