Chapter 107: 107. Bad Business

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.

Chapter 108: 108. Magical Politician

After giving away the Dumbledore flavoured underwears like charity, he headed to his office in the basement of the teacher's housing building.

He cleaned the room first as he rarely used it and waited for Thomas Shelby to come.

*Knock Knock...*

"Come in..." Magnus voiced. But, although, he had hit puberty, his voice was still not sounding like a grown-up man.

The doorknob twisted and a smart-looking man entered. He was in much better shape now and finally looked like an uptight auror.

But, his eyes didn't have the same confidence as an auror. There was uncertainty, worry and also gratitude.

"Thank you for meeting me, your Majesty." He respectfully greeted with a light bow, knowing he was standing in front of a king.

"Welcome, take a seat. Professor told me you wanted to meet me. I have time." Magnus laid back in his seat.

Thomas took a seat and started, "I want to ask you for your help. I am grateful to you and my family is also safe, but they will come after me, no matter what. As l was a senior auror, they surely wouldn't want a loose end. I just... I don't care about myself, but I need your help with keeping my family safe. I can't even withdraw my money from the Gringotts vault as it is also connected with the ministry. I have nothing to help myself with."

Magnus understood his problem completely. He could understand his anxiety regarding his family.

~Hmm... Didn't I have those people calling themselves the Army of Merlin? What if a senior auror were to lead them... hehe... I'm a genius.~ Magnus gloated inside.

"Mr Shelby, what is your expertise?" Magnus asked.

"It's investigative and crime scene recreation magic," Thomas answered.

Magnus's eyes shined as if they were two shining marbles. His little cunning brain ran at full speed and came up with a very good plan. A plan that can make him some money.

"Are you good with Legilimency and Occlumency?" He asked.

Thomas nodded, "Yes, most Aurors get some training in this, but how good they are will always depend on their innate ability. I'm average, as an investigator, I needed to have these abilities."

Magnus smiled, "Good. Mr Thomas, how would you like to work for me? You may not know, but I own a few businesses in the Muggle world and they're all very successful. I have made millions of pounds in the previous year.

"I can help you with transferring your money to another personal vault of yours with no Ministry influence, I can also get you a new identity and a new home in the muggle world."

His offer sounded too sweet to be true. So Thomas asked, "What's the job?"

"What you used to do. You will head my Muggle private detective agency. Your job will be to secretly use magic without letting the muggles be aware and solve cases. Soon, we will get so famous that we'll get contracts from around the world. Until now, Wizards thought they were higher than non-magicals and that's why no Wizard understands that the muggle world is a gold mine. So, what do you think?" Magnus proposed.

"Will you really do all that?" He asked in disbelief.

"Of course... You will just have to screen a few people for the job though. Most of them are muggle-born or half-blood wizards bullied by Death Eaters. But, you must do everything possible to make sure they are not a spy sent by the enemy." Magnus told him.

Thomas thought for a few minutes first. But, in the end, he had no other way. And this was for the best too, not only was he getting safety but also a new identity, with a job.

"I accept, I will do it. Muggle cases can't be that hard to crack, right?" He muttered.

Magnus nodded profusely, "Yes yes, now, you will need a lawyer too to represent you in some situations or help you with a few laws. I own a stake in a law firm, it's run by a very good wizard friend of mine. It's called Tonks & Tonks. Contact them later. They will also give you a floor in their office building for the new office."

Being the professional person he was, Thomas immediately nodded and memorised everything Magnus said. It was a good thing that he knew a decent amount of Legilimency and Occlumency, he did not need to write stuff up.

"But, what will be the name of the detective agency?" Thomas asked.

Magnus quickly came up with one, "Ummm... Magic Eye Detective Agency, we can also call it MEDA." [A/N: Pronounced as May-Da]

Thomas chuckled, "Haha... Hiding in the plain sight..."

"Yes, and your name from now on will be Adrian Durand. Go to the law firm first, meet Ted Tonks there, he will give you the keys to your new home, then you will receive a letter from Gringotts via an Owl." Magnus instructed him.

Thomas quickly got up and lightly bowed, "I will go there immediately, thank you for everything, your majesty..."

He formally said his goodbye and left.

Also in the office, Magnus felt tired, "Ah... If I keep this speed up, even before I turn 18, I'd have ownership of so many businesses."

...

As Magnus headed to the Slytherin Dungeons, he bumped into Remus Lupin. He was in his school robes, implying he had just returned to the school.

Magnus asked, "Full moon?"

Remus silently nodded, "Yeah,"

"Go and meet your friends, they probably think you're dead or something," Magnus advised him and left while whistling with no care.

He came back to the dungeons, but, as soon as he entered he saw a group of Slytherin kids surrounding Lucius and listening to him. With no shame or fear, he also went ahead to listen to what the young Death Eater was saying.

As he got closer, he saw Ragnar also in the crowd, with a packet of snacks, munching on them while seeing everything as if it was a show.

He passed some, as Magnus asked him, "What's going on?"

"He's giving his sales pitch, of what a good pureblood should act like and why they are superior to normal wizards and muggles. *Crunch*" Ragnar answered.

Magnus then heard Lucius with focus.

"... They are taking away what rightfully belongs to us. We are a Slytherin, our founder didn't want them to enter the school either. We must do what he couldn't and create a wizarding society that is made by us and for us. I am not denying that these muggle-born wizards can't learn wizardry, I am just saying they should know their place.

"After we successfully create a new society, these muggle-born and blood-traitors will be shown their place. A new smaller school will be made to teach them, Hogwarts will only be for the purest of us. Currently, the Ministry wastes its money to pay the school fee of all students. Let me ask, whose money is it? It is our money that we give to the Ministry as tax..."

*Crunch*

*Crunch*

*Crunch*

Magnus and Ragnar started eating louder to divert the attention of Lucius from his speech. Soon, Lucius' face started to twitch in anger, he tried to ignore them at the start but soon he got angry.

"YOU CAN EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE..." he shouted.

Magnus shrugged his shoulder, "Do you own this castle now? I can stand anywhere I want. You move if you have a problem, also, just so you know, your ancestor once tried to woo the muggle queen, Queen Elizabeth I. He got rejected and cursed her so she could not ever find a suitable partner. Also, I know the bank statements of all ancient families, they combined paid less to no tax than compared to half-blood or muggle-born wizards. So, stop with your rambling, your family was and is still opportunistic and greedy.

"Don't listen to him you all, if you don't want to be tagged a terrorist by the ministry."

All the students started murmuring, only a few of the Slytherin gang got close and tried to push Magnus away.

As soon as Avery touched Magnus, Magnus found a blind spot for all the students so they could not see what had happened. He jumped back as if he was thrown away and fell on the floor. Then, he started crying on the floor in pain.

"AAAH... YOU HIT ME... How could you? Rag, call professor Slughorn and also send a letter to Daily Prophet and DMLE. The Purest of Royal Blood, the future king of Britain, was attacked and hurt. AAAA... My hand, I think it's broken." He cried on the ground, but, the thing was, he sucked at acting sometimes, and he was in fact trying hard to hold his laughter. The tears in his eyes were because he was holding that.

Avery panicked and stepped back, "W-WHAT? I-I didn't do anything, I just touched him..."

But, all the students didn't believe him and saw him with doubtful eyes. They had seen how hostile Lucius and his gang were towards Magnus and that affected their decision.

Lucius angrily stared at Magnus, Magnus did the same while still crying. Even though there was a lot of noise around them, Magnus and Lucius didn't hear anything.

It was as if they were talking with their eyes. Where Lucius was cursing him for making things up.

And Magnus was replying with, ~You thought only you can act? I can play this game all day.~

Magnus had achieved what he wanted to do. He had successfully discredited the small gathering of Lucius and also initiated doubts in everyone's minds. He had chosen his words carefully while he was falsely crying in pain.

The word "Purest of Royal Blood" was the most important part, as it conveyed that he was no different from any wizard in the Slytherin house, that his blood was pure too and yet he was being attacked just for a difference in thought.

Frustrated and unable to do anything, Lucius returned to his dorm room, and the crowd also dispersed with that.

*BAM*

Just then, Emma came to Magnus and lightly kicked his arm, "Stop with this act, it's so obvious."

Magnus chuckled, "Hehe, but it works."

"God, you are shameless..." She muttered and headed to the girl's dorm.

Magnus shook his head and got up while muttering, ~If I want to successfully make this country good for both wizards and muggles, I will have to become some kind of a magical politician. Where is Ragnar now...?~

He looked around but he was nowhere to be seen, just then, he raised something, ~God, did he really go to get Professor Slughorn? THAT FOOL!~
