The memories started from the man's childhood.
"RAVENCLAW!"
His name was Thomas, and he was sorted into Ravenclaw. A half-blood Wizard.
"You have passed the Auror exam and will now be on probation..." This was 10 years ago. By now, he had gotten promoted to being the senior auror.
"Our mission is simple, to eradicate the terrorists. They are targeting common wizards and are a threat to our existence. Dismissed." These were the orders he received from his senior.
So, when he went to investigate a Death Eater case, he directly came upon a death eater taking his mask off, and what he saw shocked him. It was his own colleague.
"But sir, I saw with my own eyes. I can give you the memory." He revealed it to his superior.
"It was an undercover auror. Forget what you saw." he was instructed.
"But sir, he killed a family, an innocent family, with children..." Thomas argued.
*BAM*
"ENOUGH... Sometimes, sacrifices are necessary to do the right thing. Now leave." He was ordered.
Thomas angrily left the ministry and went to his home. He wanted to do something but didn't know what. He had no big-name allies. He would've gone to Moody but the man was on some mission.
To cool himself off, he decided to take a leave and spend time with his family. Surprisingly, his leave was granted immediately even though there was so much work in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
But, a few days later, when he was asleep, a loud noise sounded from the downstairs of his house.
*BOOM*
"THOMAS SHELBY!... COME OUT, YOU BLOOD TRAITOR..." shouts came from downstairs.
As soon as he heard that, he knew who it was at his door. He realised that he was sold out and the ministry was compromised because the house of an auror was meant to be a high-level secret. He looked at his wife and the scared little daughter.
"GO! apparate away to Hogsmeade and then go to Hogwarts. I will meet you there." He instructed them. He was scared for their lives more than his own.
Seeing the doubt on their faces, he shouted. "GO NOW! Please..."
His wife finally nodded and apparated away with their daughter.
Then, Thomas went ahead to fight them. But he was on the losing end in the end and got hit by a piercing charm on his stomach. As he was falling he used the last of his energy to apparate on top of the Hogwarts Express.
After that, he stopped the train and entered when it was nighttime.
Magnus retracted himself from Thomas's mind.
"Ragnar, give him a blood replenishing potion. He was hit by a piercing charm on his stomach. By death eaters of course." Magnus ordered.
Knowing this, Ragnar felt at ease and quickly took out a bottle from his bag.
Magnus went forward and patted Thomas' shoulders, "Don't worry, I'm sure your wife and daughter are okay. I will take you to Dumbledore later."
"T-thank you... Your majesty..." Thomas cried.
"Sit on the seat now, you're injured. Drink this Potion to get better." He helped him. While thinking in his mind.
~No wonder Minister Eugenia can't do anything. She has no power over the ministry.~ he thought.
*Cough*
Suddenly Emma coughed, she looked at Magnus with starry eyes. "YOU WERE SO COOL!"
Magnus shook his head, "Grow up, we're facing a serious situation here. Ministry has been compromised, this means that nobody is safe. Be it a muggle-born, half-blood or pure-blood. If you don't follow them, they will come after you, disguised as Ministry men."
This made all of them turn a bit serious. James quickly got worried, "I need to tell my parents..."
"NO! Don't send it through normal mail. Summer will send it, do not trust any Ministry aided organisation. They could be spying on us." Magnus warned them.
Sirius was calm though, "Hmm... I've got nobody to talk to. It's probably my family in the first place who are behind some of this mess. They've been giving money to the ministry for a while now, how do you think my grandfather got the Order of Merlin first class?"
Magnus sighed in disappointment, "The level of corruption in the Ministry is too crazy. The whole Ministry needs to be purified and made new from the foundation."
He turned to Thomas to ask him some more questions but saw him sleeping and decided to ask later. First, getting him to reach Hogwarts safely was important.
After a few more hours, they finally reached the Hogsmeade Station. All the students got off and went to the school on carriages pulled by Thestrals.
They were a breed of winged horse with a skeletal body, face with reptilian features, and wide, leathery wings that resemble a bat's. They looked pretty in a way. Only people who had seen death could see these creatures.
So, Magnus and Ragnar were able to see them easily. But, none else in their group saw the creatures.
Magnus went ahead and gave it a good pat on its head and travelled to Hogwarts. Until now, all things were magically done so nobody was able to stop Thomas from coming with them.
But once they arrived at the gates, professor Flitwick quickly stopped them.
"Professor Dumbledore should meet him. He's an ex-auror." Magnus seriously told him.
Flitwick taught charms and Magnus was his best student, so of course, he didn't mind helping out. Also, Magnus had no reason to do anything bad.
"You go in, I will take him to Professor after shutting the gates," Flitwick said.
Magnus agreed to this, "You follow him, don't worry, everything will be fine. Dumbledore will find your family soon. Or who knows, maybe they're already inside the school."
Thomas thanked him and went to Professor Flitwick.
Done with the scenario, Magnus headed to the dorms first to set Chad and Summer free.
"What did you do this holiday, Sev?" Magnus asked.
"Worked on making better Potions and some spell making. What about you?" Severus asked back.
Magnus smiled like a true capitalist, "I sold a diamond and made about 486 million dollars. And Ragnar gained weight."
Snape, had his jaw drop open, "So much money for a diamond? WHY?"
"Haha, Magic..." Magnus replied and headed to the Great Hall for dinner.
...
At the same time, Flitwick had brought Thomas Shelby to Dumbledore. Thankfully, the old man granted a meeting.
Thomas told everything to him, about his job, about his family. Dumbledore also used Legilimency on him, but without asking and he only used it to see surface thoughts.
"I know about your family. They arrived in Hogsmeade not long ago, they have been staying in my brother's place. Don't worry, they are safe." Dumbledore revealed.
Hearing this, Thomas took a sigh of relief. "T-Thank you, can you help me protect my family from them, Professor?"
Thomas was more informal with Dumbledore because when he was in Hogwarts, Dumbledore was just a Professor and had a very good relationship with students.
Dumbledore rubbed his long beard. That was his signal that he was thinking about it.
After a while, he answered. "I'm sorry, but I'm bound by the position I'm in. I am just a headmaster, if it's the ministry coming after you, then perhaps you need to find someone whom Ministry can not move. Someone who has already brought ministry to its heels once. But, trust me, I will make sure your family stays safe."
Thomas' shoulders slumped. He thought Dumbledore, the defeater of the last Dark Lord, would help him.
~WAIT!~
He suddenly stopped thinking negatively and used his brain. ~Someone the Ministry cannot move? Someone who has punished the ministry and the pure-bloods? OF COURSE, it's gotta be him.~
He now felt thankful, "Fine, professor. I will leave to see my family now."
...
*AACHOOO*
Magnus sneezed loudly, making Ragnar get a jumpscare and dropping the chicken he was eating.
"DAMMIT, Mag. Stop spreading germs around here." Ragnar angrily complained.
Magnus lifted the corner of Ragnar's robes and cleaned his nose, "Ah... so you're studying the muggle biology book I gave? But, I rarely sneeze. I hope it's not a bad omen."
"I'LL SHOW YOU BAD OMEN..." Ragnar shouted all of a sudden as he realised what had happened.
Magnus laughed and got up to run back to the dormitory.
"STOP! I'm gonna wipe my ass with your robes now..." Ragnar chased after him. And that was the start of their new semester.
...
While this was going on. Ted was busy in the United States, conducting Magnus' business.
"Wait... You want to buy this company? Haha... Please don't joke here, sir." The receptionist laughed.
But Ted's face stayed straight. He was wearing such an expensive suit and yet this girl thinks he's not serious. "No, I have already bought a majority of it actually. I'm just going to announce it now. Just call the board of directors to the meeting room please."
Ted replied and headed to the upper floors of the building. The receptionist fell back on her chair with a ghostly face.
And that's how Magnus got one step closer to changing the world of medical science. But even he didn't know that someone else was also working on it, someone very close to Magnus.

1 Stone = 1 Glass of Super Soldier Serum. [Effect: 50% chance of becoming a super soldier and 50% chance of turning into a very hot girl with a dick. (TIP: Twitch is a very good money source for hot girls.)]
It was the second day in Hogwarts. The normal classes started and the schedule was the same as before.
It was Sunday today and Magnus was just assessing the situation of Slytherin house. Lucius will be graduating this summer and after that, there will be no influential person in the house that could match him.
But he knew Lucius was not going to quit so easily. He would certainly tell his Slytherin gang to keep their act going and he would need to undermine the reputation and the power of the Slytherin gang.
~Hmm, I should start with helping kids with families in trouble. They will never forget this help.~ Magnus thought, as he wouldn't forget it either if someone helped his family.
But, he was having a problem communicating with other kids. They were too scared of him as many unwanted rumours had spread of him being an angry vengeful boy.
"Sev, Ragnar... Now it's your job to get close to the various kids in the house. Find out if they are having any school or personal trouble. I will help them. Even if it is academic-related, I will hold tuition every second day before dinner." Magnus told them.
"Ha? Why must we help you?" Ragnar made a tired face. He just wanted to study for now.
Magnus then explained in simple words, "Well, because you're a member of the round table. And I expect you to help in increasing our influence. Most students in Slytherin are from a rich or influential family, families that they will one day inherit. I'd rather have them in my camp than enemy's."
"A very thoughtful decision, we should do this. Maybe we can recruit some smart ones this way. And why just limit ourselves to this house, we should be helping every student who needs it if reputation gaining is our target." Snape advised.
Magnus quickly agreed, "Yes, let's do that. Ragnar, you will handle the potion club. Potions are one of the most well paying industries in the wizarding world. Any potioneer going into the enemy's hand is not just a loss for a potential potioneer but also financial as his potions would make money for the enemy."
"What about me? I'm also a potioneer." Severus asked.
"Umm... you are more of an overall student so you can help everyone. I will also help mostly everyone with extra focus on charms as they are my speciality. Maybe we can get Professor Flitwick to start the duelling club he's been talking about." Magnus decided.
"Ooooot... MEOW..." Both Chad and Summer also came to Magnus, asking to help as well.
Magnus patted their heads, "Hmm, Summer can be the queen of all owls. Maybe you can track all the letters they are sending. And Chad, well, you are too small to speak according to your grandma, so, you just focus on your speech."
Summer hearing the new work happily jumped into Magnus' arms and snuggled there for a while, meanwhile, Chad sadly sat down.
*Knock Knock*
All of a sudden, their dorm door was knocked.
Magnus went ahead and opened it. It was prefect. "Professor Dumbledore is looking for you."
Magnus nodded and headed out after telling his friends, "You two start the work. I'll be back soon."
~Hmm.. why does he want to see me now?~ he wondered.
...
Magnus came to the gargoyle statue. He stood in front of it and wondered.
"Hmm, let's see... Lemonsquid?... No?" Magnus was trying to guess the password.
"Ummm... Lemonpop?" He guessed. But it was wrong again.
"Lemon tart?"
*Grrr...*
The status moved in a circular motion and finally showed him the passage to enter. He climbed the stairs and entered the office. Dumbledore probably knew when someone entered so he didn't bother to announce himself.
As soon as he entered, Fawkes launched himself at him and sat down on his shoulder. Then he started smelling his hair.
"Haha, what are you doing, Fawkes?" Magnus asked laughingly.
Soon, Fawkes's eyes widened as he smelled something very nice. Fawkes then looked at Magnus' face and tried to communicate in his language.
Magnus tried to understand him but couldn't, just then Dumbledore came and translated to the best of his abilities. "He smelled something good on you and is asking what it is."
"Is it pancakes?" Magnus asked by trying to conjure a smoke from his wand in the shape of a pancake.
Fawkes shook his head. Magnus tried to think very intently and showed a lot more patterns, but Fawkes patiently denied them all.
Then finally he had success. He created the shape of a phoenix.
"REEEE..."
Immediately Fawkes started flapping his wings and cried loudly. Magnus immediately understood what Fawkes wanted, he wanted some action.
Dumbledore looked at his pet, "Poor Fawkes, he doesn't know that finding more phoenixes is near to impossible as not many are left."
Magnus didn't correct him and turned to Fawkes, "Fawkes, I will get to meet a pretty lady phoenix, but you must keep her location a secret until your death. Even from this old man."
Fawkes, as if understood him, turned his head to Dumbledore. Then, he swung his head away as if saying, "Hmph..."
Then he started rubbing his head on Magnus' face, while making a cute happy noise.
Magnus didn't even try to hold back his laughter. "Bwahahaha... See this old man? His friendship has now ended with you, now I am his best friend."
Dumbledore sighed, "Don't make false promises to him that might break his heart."
Magnus scoffed, "Huh, I don't break promises, especially not to my friends. I will indeed find him a good wife."
"Rooooo..." Fawkes happily hugged Magnus' head with his wings.
~Every day he's straying further from me.~ Dumbledore sadly thought.
But, seeing the sad Dumbledore, Fawkes couldn't take it and jumped over to sit on top of his head.
Magnus chuckled, "Hehe, it seems he has decided not to end the friendship with you."
Dumbledore took a fake sigh of relief. He knew that Fawkes would never leave him, he was just being goofy. Fawkes was, in reality, connected to Dumbledore and indirectly Hogwarts. Only when Dumbledore dies, would Fawkes leave his side and become a wild bird once again. But, a legend was that this Fawkes was highly connected to Dumbledor bloodline and Fawkes being immortal has lived with many Dumbledores in history.
"So, why did you ask me to come here, professor," he asked finally.
Dumbledore took his seat, looking silly as Fawkes was still sitting on his head.
"Yes, I wanted to talk to you about Mr Thomas. He wants to meet you again, he will come to your office later. But, I want to tell you that you did the right thing by helping him. If you had not healed his injury, he might have died." Dumbledore praised him.
Magnus nodded, and accepted the praise, "Thank you, Professor. Is his family alright?"
"Yes, my brother in Hogsmeade hosted them," Dumbledore replied.
Magnus took a sigh of relief knowing the man's family was fine. Seeing there was nothing else to talk about, Magnus decided to ask something he wanted to ever since the quidditch.
"Professor, I would like to offer you a business opportunity. This time, unlike the other one, you will get instant results and profits." He pitched.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, deciding to take everything Magnus says with a grain of salt.
"What is this business proposition of yours?" Dumbledore asked.
Magnus cleared his throat, "It is an amazing way to make big money. I have done some initial trials. Just imagine, you can have so much money to fund your fight against the terrorists. You can be RICH!"
Dumbledore was still not buying it, "What is this business, just tell me straight, Magnus."
Finally, after a long pause, Magnus spoke, "I want to sell Dumbledore flavoured underwear..."
-_-
Dumbledore was left speechless. He was not even sure what emotions he should feel right now. And he was astounded by the shamelessness of Magnus.
*Cough*
"Please do not joke around like this, Magnus. No matter how much money it can make, it is not worth destroying my image." Dumbledore stated.
But Magnus had a serious face, "Come on, professor. Think about the money. What can you buy with the reputation? NOTHING..."
Magnus then suddenly took out a small pouch from his pocket and took 3 different pieces of clothes.
"Look, they are all premium quality, they come in white, blue and black. We can launch many more colours in the future. I'm telling you, I sold a few in Slytherin common room, they sold like hotcakes, here is your cut." He revealed and put 100 gold galleons on the table.
Dumbledore was shocked because this was a lot of money. Who buys underwear so costly? "What was the price of one?"
"10 Galleons," Magnus replied.
Dumbledore's jaw was left hanging. ~Am I really that famous that people want to buy this at such an exorbitant price?~
He intently stared at the three underwears with his face on them. One of them was a female one, which was slightly smaller.
~If we can sell this in large quantity... NO! Albus, you cannot fall this low.~ He thought to himself and overcame the lure of money.
"No Magnus, you are from now on banned from ever selling anything with my face on it. You can take these away now." He sternly ordered.
Magnus sighed in defeat, "AH, nobody understands my genius business brain. Well, I guess I will be wearing these now. Bye then,"
He got up and left the office. Dumbledore just facepalmed himself tiredly, "Why does he have no shame? I wish he used his exceptional brain for better things."
...
Magnus went to the busiest lobby in the school and stood on the side. He had 5 big carton boxes behind him. He cleared his throat and started shouting.
"FREE! FREE! FREE!... Take Dumbledore Flavored underwears for free... Limited offer..." He started shouting.
Immediately, lots of students came running to him and took multiple underwears.
Magnus could only see all the money slipping from his hand, ~*Sigh* He said I can't sell them, I guess I can only give them for free."
"AH! Don't push around, there's enough for everyone... make a line... you want 5? No, you can't, I've limited it to 2 per person, don't try to hog it and sell it later at a higher price, I know a scalper when I see one." He started shouting and organised his little shop like a good shopkeeper. But his heart was sad for losing this much money.
