Chapter 96: 96. Gifts

Once again, they came to the underground part of the castle.

"Okay, close your eyes." He told his parents.

They obliged seeing his excited face and closed them. After that, Magnus went forward and opened the vault. Immediately, eye-piercing shine from all the gold and jewellery came. Magnus felt a bit of stiffness in his body whenever he sees how rich he was. It was just crazy.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now." He said.

And then, as Magnus expected, Grace lost her balance. Adam was quick enough to catch her, even though his face had also turned white with shock.

"W-Wha... I-Is this all yours?" Grace asked while stuttering.

Magnus proudly replied, "Yes, I got two more Vaults with combined wealth nearly similar to this. But that one also got precious books and weapons so I like those more."

Then, Magnus took out a small box from his pocket. "Mummy, this one is for you."

Grace confusedly opened the box and found a ring. It turned out to be a diamond ring, and not just any diamond, a fricking red diamond with clear textures. There were only about 20 of them in the world. And none of them was as clear as this one. The ring would alone get millions of pounds if auctioned.

"This is for the best mummy in the world. This is a red diamond. Extremely rare, so, it'll be better if you tell people that it's just a gemstone. Don't worry about its price, I got a few hundred of them in this vault, don't know about the Gringotts vault though." Magnus revealed.

"H-How much would it cost outside?" She asked.

"Umm, about a few million I guess," Magnus replied.

This made Grace start shivering while holding it in her hand.

"Haha, don't worry about the cost, mummy. Just wear it like the Queen Mother you are. Now, for dad. I know you're not much into jewellery, so I asked the Goblins to make something for you. As you probably know from storybooks, Goblins are the best smiths. So, they made this new pistol for you. It looks the same as a normal pistol but, it's got magic in it.

"For starters, it's highly durable. Then, to the main point. It can fire any round, as long as it's not a sniper rifle bullet as the cartridge can magically make itself smaller or bigger. It will negate the recoil too, increasing the aim," Magnus revealed a revolver with a black body and silver handle. It had hidden runes and other goblin enchantments on it.

Adam loved it and excitedly checked it out. Of course, it was empty for now.

Then, Magnus' gaze fell on an excited Ragnar. *Sigh* "Yes, I bought cauldrons for you."

"YES, YOU'RE THE BEST BROTHER." Ragnar jumped in excitement.

Magnus rolled his eyes and entered deeper into the vault while they were busy with the Christmas presents.

The vault was much more organised now as Martha had done the job. Now everything was separated. Magnus went to the diamond section and picked a fist-sized clean blue diamond. It was the second rarest type, Magnus had decided not to sell the red diamonds as they were just too precious and would look better in his crown.

After that, he picked up an old 10th-century gold coin. It was in mint condition. Then, he picked a random unenchanted sword. It was also in mint condition and its gold plated hilt was still looking beautiful. Whoever it belonged to must've been important. But Arthur probably never thought about his enemies once defeating them so he just threw all the stuff he wins in his vaults.

With that, he was done. He took his parents back to the main castle to have dinner. There was not much to do when you knew Santa was not real and gifts were already given. Technically, the time to give gifts was the next day, but Magnus dealt with it tonight.

After all this, Magnus took his parents to sleep in his favourite place, the highest balcony, under the open sky. Magnus made themselves a big bed. As they laid down, they started to talk. He even called Grandma Martha to join.

"What are you planning on doing after school, Magnus?" Grace asked.

Magnus was lying in the middle of Adam and Grace. Ragnar was on the other side of grace, alongside Martha.

"Umm... I will be the king, so I will try to make this country the best in everything. But, as Merlin's descendant, I have a bigger responsibility of uniting the wizards and end discrimination from the world. I just want to make this planet awesome to live on for future generations." Magnus revealed.

"That's a lot to do for a young boy like you," Adam said.

"Hehe... well, we wizards live a very long life so there should be no problem in achieving this dream." Magnus retorted.

"How long do they live?" Grace inquired.

"Well, normal ones surely reach 150-200. Then there are a few crazy ones, who have used some special methods to stay alive for 600-700 years." Said Magnus.

*Whistles*

"Lucky Wizards. We simple humans hardly reach 90." Adam jokingly said.

Hearing him, Magnus felt sad. He held Grace and Adam's hand, "Don't worry, you won't be like normal humans. You will live for hundreds of years."

"Okay, sweetie. We will be waiting for your cure to not ageing then. Hmm... What about you, Ragnar? What do you want to do after school?" She asked.

Ragnar was relaxingly looking at the sky with a smile. His both arms were under his head, supporting it.

"I... I will become the greatest potioneer and runesmith to ever exist in magical history. Of course, after having my revenge." Ragnar answered.

"Revenge? What do you mean?" Grace asked.

"Ahaha... He was talking about orange. He wants to make an orchid..." Magnus awkwardly intervened.

*Sigh*

"It's alright, Magnus," Ragnar spoke up. Then he finally told his story, not in a third person, but as himself. He guessed that if he was going to live with them, there was no point in hiding such things.

By the end, Ragnar's eyes were watery. "Mummy used to tell me stories of great knights and wizards like King Arthur and Merlin. I wished to be her little knight, but they took her from me before I could complete my training."

Grace also had tears in her eyes for him. For little Ragnar to go through all that. It was bound to be tough. She gave him a hug. Then, from the other side, Grandma Martha also gave a soft pat on his face. "Little One, your Grandma will teach you Potions from now on. I'm the best at it."

*BAM*

Magnus suddenly jumped on them, pressing Ragnar. "And I will be your brother and help you beat those basta... I mean bad boys."

Ragnar chuckled, "Thanks, everyone."

"Only strangers say thanks to friends and family. You're a part of the family now, Ragnar." Adam also jumped closer and hugged them all.

And so, they spent Christmas Eve at peak wholesomeness.

...

But Magnus' wholesome deeds had not ended there. He had sent a special Christmas package to Bobby. It was already sitting at the bottom of the family Christmas tree. Inside, it had the yet unreleased Intel 8008 chip. The first eight-bit processor produced by Intel. Bobby was going to go nuts with it.

...

Cokeworth, England.

Lily Evans lived in the same town as Severus. But the location where her house was situated was in a much better location, as her locality had many people living there, as compared to where Severus used to live, that place was completely abandoned.

As it was Christmas Eve, Severus was celebrating it with his mother. It was officially the start of their new life in their new home. It was bigger than the one in Spinner's End, and much cleaner. It already had all the furniture so they never had to do anything except live there. Magnus really did things all the way.

Severus wanted to give a gift to Lily as her fairly close new neighbour. But he couldn't find anything. However, then his mother came to him and told him that a courier came for him that morning.

On it said, "From your bro."

He immediately understood who it was. He opened it and found a letter and a small box. He first read the letter.

"How are you doing in your new home, Sev? Hope you're well. By the way, I know you'll be looking forward to giving a present to Lily. So, I took the liberty to send you this. Hehe... We are brothers, I got your back. Merry Christmas to you and aunty." He read the letter.

Amused by the box, he opened it. Only to find a goldish bracelet with green and red stones on it, shaped in the form of leaves and a rose. Then there was a small note, "Don't worry, it's pretty cheap. Made it with a mixture of a Galleon and a Sickle. Green and red are common gemstones and not something precious. Hopefully, she'll like it. FINGERS CROSSED!"

Severus smiled while reading it, then looked at the small bracelet. He could imagine it looking good on her, as she also had red hair.

~Tomorrow she should be coming to that tree.~ he thought and went to sleep.

Chapter 97: 97. Magnus the Liar

Christmas Day came. But, for someone, it was the worst day of their lives.

"My Lord, forgive me. Everything was according to the plan until that mudblood started using Merlin's ancient magic. He conjured tower-like spears in the sky and pierced our ranks to death." Rodolphus Lestrange was kneeling in front of Voldemort.

Voldemort seemed angry, but he was also trying to hold it back. He cracked his fist and made Rodolphus stand up. He was his number one loyal supporter after all.

"Get up, Rodolphus. It was I who trusted in you. None could have imagined for that boy to know the ancient magic.

"But the more time we give him, the stronger he gets. However, we can not do anything for the short time, you made a big ruckus in the muggle world this time. The Ministry will be after you like a hound. Hide away until my further orders." Voldemort instructed.

Nodding, Rodolphus left. But, soon he heard the angry shouts of Voldemort and knew he was walking on a thin line and his friendship with the dark lord might not be able to save him if he makes more mistakes.

"INCOMPETENCE..." Voldemort seethed.

...

Meanwhile, Magnus was calling his House Elfs to Camelot. They were going to bring the pets along with them.

Magnus had no idea if there was a spell for it. He just loudly called them. "Abe, George, come here with Duck, Chad and Summer."

In an instant, two pops came and with that arrived two elfs. But, their clothes looked dirty.

Magnus looked at the three little troublemakers. "Let me guess, they turned into satanic beasts as soon as I left?"

"Ah, forgive us, sir. But they fight a lot." George said.

Magnus stared at the three with big angry eyes, making them squeeze their necks in fright.

"Chad, your Grandma will straighten you out. Duck, Grandma Martha will also turn you into a well-disciplined dragon. And Summer, you were such a sweet girl. I guess I will have to send you to the Phoenixes. They will teach you to be good." He scolded them as if they could understand him. Though the three did get the gist that Magnus was angry.

"Now, follow me you all." He then took them inside his castle. Duck was going to stay here, and Magnus was not at all worried about him being lonely because the castle was filled with so many animals to make friends with. Chad and Summer were already best friends so he wasn't going to separate them.

It was early morning and everyone was gathered in the Grand Royal Hall, the biggest hall of the castle with a ceiling so high you could play real quidditch with multiple teams here.

In the middle of the hall was a giant Christmas tree, decorated to the brim. Around it sat the leaders of Centaurs, Goblins and Vella, with Magnus' parents, Ragnar and Martha.

"Mag, why don't you open your present?" Grace asked.

"I got presents? Cool." Magnus excitedly went to the tree and found 4 packages. From Grace, he got a handmade sweater with Chad's pattern on it.

"It must be very cold in Hogwarts, wear it," Grace said.

Magnus put it on happily. "I LOVE IT."

He didn't care about how expensive the gift was. It didn't matter as he had all the money he'd ever need. What he really cared about was feeling.

Then, he opened the package from Adam. It was a big one. In it, he found a Metal Gramophone. The weirdest thing was that it could play cassettes instead of vinyl records.

"I heard that magic and electronics don't work together. Hence, I modified this portable mechanical Gramophone to play cassette. It has the latest spring technology and with one round of winding it up it will run for 60 minutes." Adam explained.

Magnus gratefully looked at the present. Seriously, Hogwarts lacked recreational activities. There was no way of listening to music, now he could.

"Thanks, dad. This will help me when Ragnar snores at night." Magnus jokingly said.

"HEY... Don't badmouth me before even opening my gift." Ragnar protested.

"Okay, what's in this little box now?" Magnus took the gift from Ragnar. Inside it, he found a little vial.

"Hmm, water?" Magnus asked.

Ragnar smirked, "You sure about that?"

Magnus's mind worked quickly and he came upon a single possibility. "LIQUID LUCK?"

Ragnar proudly nodded, "That's right. I brewed it with the help of Grandma Martha."

"THAT'S AWESOME. I'M GONNA KEEP THIS FOREVER WITH ME." Magnus was excited about it.

After this, he opened the gift from Martha. It was a set of chocolates. Lots of them with different textures and flavours. Magnus picked one and ate, in an instant, he felt like melting on the floor along with the chocolate in his mouth.

"This is so good, grandma." He praised.

Martha chuckled, "Hehe... I'm happy that you enjoyed it. If you want more in the future you can ask grandma anytime."

They exchanged a few more gifts that morning. Then after breakfast, Grace and Adam decided to return to their home. Magnus also had some work so he decided to leave. But this time he had the elfs to take him.

Surprisingly, the castle also blocked elf teleportation. Due to this, even they could only teleport from the special room. Duck had already made new friends with the Nundu and Phoenixes. Magnus would come and visit him every once in a while. He would now need to find a way to keep him around even when he grows up, after all, what would be the point of having a dragon then.

The elfs held their clothes and teleported away.

Left behind, Martha started humming and headed to the royal kitchen, "Hehe... he likes my cooking. I should make something even better now."

...

Magnus came back to their 10 Privet Drive home. It was Christmas day, a holiday for Grace and Adam. But, as they had already eaten and now had nothing to do, they decided to do some office work. Grace was working on some personal projects and Adam was doing the same. He was working on a new car engine all by himself, his dream project.

Seeing this, Magnus said he wanted to meet Bobby and so he left with Ragnar.

As soon as he left, Adam came to Grace and asked, "Did he tell the truth?"

"No," Grace replied while reading a document.

"Why does he lie to us nowadays?" Adam wondered.

"Because he has headaches now and he does not want to pass them on to us. I can only imagine the pressure on him for being the next king." Grace worriedly said and sighed. But she had no idea how deep in problems Magnus really was.

To most people, being the next king or heir of Merlin was an amazing thing that only a supremely lucky person would get. But, in reality, all these bloodlines although made Magnus stronger and richer, also painted a big bullseye on his back.

"I hope he starts sharing things with us more," Adam muttered.

...

Magnus had called Ted to meet him in the same old coffee shop that day. The reason was business of course. He needed some cash money because even with all his gold, he couldn't just use it in the muggle world. Also, he didn't go to the Goblins as their exchange rate was not too amazing.

So, he had some other idea of making some big money.
