Chapter 113: 113. Traitor?

Magnus later returned to the hospital and gave his mum the new clothes and also food.

He didn't have to wait for long and Dumbledore brought a doctor from St Mungo's hospital as promised. She seemed kind and addressed him with a lot of respect.

"Your Majesty..." She bowed.

"Thank you for coming at such short notice. Can you help my dad? There are some broken bones and a lot of burnt skin." Magnus asked.

"Of course, but fixing bones is easier than the burns. You will need to put a thick mixture of a few potions on the burns, it will take some time, likely a few weeks but they will completely heal by then." The healer assured him.

Knowing this, both Grace and Adam had a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, I will not forget this help from St Mungo. If the hospital ever needs some assistance that I can fulfil, I will do it." Magnus offered.

"Oh, please call me Ruby, your majesty, I am one of the 3 heads of the hospital. And, I actually do want to say something, but I believe this isn't the time..." Ruby said while looking at Adam.

But Magnus entertained, "No it's fine, dad is in stable condition now. Please tell me what's bothering you."

Ruby made an embarrassed face and started, "Your Majesty, I feel uneasy while asking, but the hospital needs investment. You see, healing is a very expensive profession, we lack healers already, at the same time, as the number of Wizards soar, more patients are coming to us. But, because of the low staff, we need to keep the treatment costly to cover expenses.

"If you could... Invest in the hospital, we would be able to train more staff, reduce the cost of treatment and treat more wizards."

"Don't you also get funding from pure-blood families?" Magnus asked.

"Oh no, no... Most pure-blood families have their private healer. They never come to St Mungo, they consider it beneath them as we serve all wizards." She explained.

Magnus sighed. The whole structure of Magical Britain was crumbling, it seems. The ministry was so incompetent in everything he has seen till now, everything except pure-blood family appeasement.

"If that's the case, I would like to buy the hospital, but it will remain a public facility. I will only interfere if something unlawful or unethical takes place. In return, the hospital will receive funding, as well as an expansion to its building. But, for all this, there is one request from me." Magnus offered but stopped midway.

It was indeed possible to buy the hospital. At the time, it was Ministry Property, but if Magnus does create a new building and also invests, then his share would supersede the ministry and he would become the owner.

Ruby, who was already in love with the deal, immediately asked, "What is it, your majesty?"

"You see, my dear mum is a muggle heart surgeon. She loves everything about medical science and would love to see how a wizard hospital works. I want you to give her a private secret tour of the hospital." He demanded.

Ruby smiled, "That's it? It can be done, your majesty. As long as you own the hospital, you can do anything."

Magnus smiled and shook hands with her, "Amazing, I will send my lawyer to you soon. He will discuss the finer details later and get the contract signed."

Ruby happily shook his hand. Magnus was also happy now, today was a good investment day. He knew that in the future, there will be a population boom among Wizards, as after the previous war with Grindelwald, the British Wizarding World had suffered a lot, by losing many amazing wizards, whose bloodlines ended.

But, for his investments to reap some benefits, he needed to make sure that in the fight against Voldemort and his death eaters, not many wizards die, another reason for him to pursue the end of Death Eaters.

After handing them the potions and some other medicine, Ruby left. Even Dumbledore left without being asked to leave, but the old man did talk to Adam first, something he wanted to do for a while.

"Son, has Magnus told you that you are related to my family line?" Dumbledore asked.

Adam nodded and answered in whispers, "He did say something like that."

Dumbledore started, "I and my brother are the last Dumbledore left, but, by the grace of luck, we shared an ancestor hundreds of years ago."

Adam replied emotionally. "I'm the last of my bloodline too, well, adding Magnus now there are two. Most of my relatives died during the bombings in World War. Only my parents and I were left, but soon they also succumbed to the disease. I guess we're in the same boat then."

Dumbledore nodded, feeling the emotional state of Adam. He went closer and gave a vial to him.

"This thing is too precious to be given to people, but, you are probably my great-great grand-nephew or something, so I think it's worth it. This vial has Phoenix's tears, put it in water and bathe in it, your burn wounds will immediately heal." Dumbledore explained. This was indeed a big thing he was doing, the price of a phoenix tear in the market was astronomical, that was if you could even find it there.

*BAM*

But suddenly they all saw Magnus facepalming himself strongly as if punishing himself.

~STUPID STUPID... There are so many Phoenixes in Camelot, I can create a fountain of Phoenix tears if I want... but... how will I make them cry?~ He cursed to himself.

"What happened, Magnus?" Dumbledore asked.

Magnus immediately focused, "Ah, nothing, professor. Thank you for this, and give my thanks to Fawkes too, tell him I will call for him soon. But, there is another problem. Dad is a muggle, if he magically gets healed so soon, people will go crazy."

"That is easily solvable, there are many illusion spells we can put on him," Dumbledore advised.

Magnus agreed, but he'd ask Merlin in the portrait first, as he must know the best illusion charms.

"Thanks, professor." Magnus again thanked him. Anybody who was helping him in this situation would have his gratitude.

But, all of a sudden, Magnus had a thought click in his mind, ~Wait... If I become the king, that would make mum and dad royalty, Dumbledore is also a relative, would that also make him a royal too? Hmmmm...~

Everyone ignored Magnus' sudden instances of internal thoughts.

That whole day, Magnus and Grace stayed with Adam. At night, they would bathe him in Phoenix tear water.

Magnus though was busy writing a reply to the Queen, he also had another demand.

"I did think it was you, good on you to clarify before I could do anything. Also, good for you to be controlling your family from doing anything they would regret. You can keep ruling until I'm ready to take the throne, but, for that, we're going to have to start preparing. I will contact you again later.

"This aside, I want the government to grant 100,000 pounds(More than a million in today's market.) to the two soldiers who died in today's bombing.

Also, push the government to solve this mess faster. How can you even let your people die in such attacks as the queen?

But I guess it's too much to ask, you don't really have any power either. Bye then.

Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon."

He signed the letter and sent it to the queen.

...

While Magnus was with his family, words travelled fast in Hogwarts about his sudden disappearance. Severus and Ragnar didn't tell anyone about it, but this made people start suspecting the Death Eaters had something to do with it.

This in return, made some students start fearing more and Lucius knew how to take advantage of this incident. He had tried to invite students to his group with the dream of riches and power, now it was time to use fear.

But, instead of gathering lots of people and speaking to them, he went one by one. Talking to kids from influential families, scaring them about the future, about how if he doesn't join them, then when they win he will be in loss and no better than a blood traitor or muggle lover.

This technique worked. However, Ragnar and Severus also got the whiff of it and started their own campaign. They sent word to Magnus asking him if they should tell the students why he was away.

Magnus allowed and this eased the students a little. Then, they also started targeting the elite students, not elite in terms of family or money, but talent. They offered free tuition to anyone who wanted to improve themselves.

They even asked old Merlin in the portrait to take at least 1 class in a week, it didn't matter if he just told old stories, as students would be happy to even be listening to his words.

But, another problem came when the newspaper arrived. On the front page was an article, with the headline "A CHILD IN WIZENGAMOT? SPECIAL PRIVILEGES FOR MERLIN'S DESCENDANT? HAS THE MINISTRY GONE INSANE?"

But, what troubled Ragnar and Severus was the author because this person was supposed to be on their side. Rita Skeeter was Magnus' mouthpiece, and even got paid by him.

"Argh... I hate this woman now. I hope Magnus doesn't traumatise her too much, he hates losing money to pointless things, and she made all the money he invested on her worthless." Snape muttered.

"She's a traitor, she just showed her true face... Magnus should punish her for good. I kinda wanna see it happen though. Let's send the newspaper... Summer, come here girl." Ragnar said and sent Summer on a long journey to Magnus.

Chapter 114: 114. Bobby is here

"MAGNUS..."

Magnus was sleeping when he suddenly heard a voice calling his name. He had heard it before. He opened his eyes and he looked around at the strange room.

"AH! It's the hospital." He remembered the events from the last night.

"MAGNUS..."

He again heard the voice. He went close to the door and jokingly asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Brandon, these guards won't let me in." the voice replied.

"Brandon who? I don't know any Brandon?" Magnus responded.

Outside the door, Bobby started sweating as the two military guards started looking at him suspiciously.

"Heh... Mag, come on, man. It's me, Bobby." Bobby spoke, this time with his unofficial but official name.

Magnus acted shocked, "AH! Bobby? Come on in,"

He opened the door and greeted his brother. Bobby quickly entered with a small basket of fruits. His mother had handed it to him.

"Hehe, you should have used your real name, Bobby," Magnus said and gave him a brotherly hug.

Bobby then went into the room and put the fruits on the table beside. He politely asked how Adam was, "Good morning, uncle. I wish you a speedy recovery."

"What speedy recovery? I'm absolutely fine." Adam suddenly got up from his bed and started hopping.

-_-

Bobby was in shock, he looked at Adam, still covered in bandages from head to toe, yet he was not crying in pain.

"Wait... I thought you were in a bomb blast?" he asked.

Magnus patted his shoulder, "He was, but don't forget who I am..."

"A greedy, arrogant and narcissistic little boy?" Bobby asked back.

"Yes... wait WHAT?" Magnus was taken by surprise.

"Hahaha... You two never stop messing around." Grace came in from outside with a plate of breakfast. It was mainly for Adam as he was on a porridge diet.

"Aunty... How did uncle recover so fast?" Bobby asked.

"Honestly, even I have no idea. How can tears of a creature heal such injuries? It was magic." She said in disbelief.

But Magnus explained, "Mum, Phoenixes are extremely rare birds, even for the magical world. They are immortal and rise again from their ashes. They are also very pure in heart, which is why their songs can move a person and their tears can bring a person back from the brink of death."

"Can I have some phoenix tears too?" Bobby asked.

"Of course, your dad will get a vial, I only need to find a way to make the Phoenixes in Camelot cry. They are a pretty tough bunch, Abe and George have been reading them sad stories since last night and none of them gave even a single tear." Magnus frustratingly said.

*Knock Knock*

All of a sudden, a knock came. But, it was not on the door and instead it was from the window. Magnus looked out and found Summer. He let her enter and take a rest after her long flight.

He patted her head and gave some food, "What are you doing here, girl?"

Of course, it was obvious as she had a letter in her beak. He took the letter, it was unofficial. He opened it and read its content. It was from Severus and there was a torn piece of newspaper from the Daily Prophet. It had an article written by Rita Skeeters.

*Sigh*

~Why must people act so foolish, can't they predict which side will profit them more?~ he wondered and crumbled the paper in his hand.

He looked at Bobby with a calm face, "What are you doing these days?"

Bobby proudly lifted his chin, "Haha, I was selected by the University of Oxford and they have invited me for their Leaders of Tomorrow programme. It's just a fancy word for collecting the talented kids from the country and nurturing them."

"And you're going?" Magnus asked.

"Of course, the faster I complete my mastery in Computer Science the faster I can focus on other things. We're also going to be showcasing our new and better computer at CES, Consumer Electronics Show in the US." Bobby revealed.

Magnus was genuinely surprised, "Woah, you're moving up so fast, I'm kinda jealous now."

"Nonsense, If I had magical abilities like you I would have loved my life more, it's so convenient," Bobby argued.

Magnus patted his shoulder, "Trust me, Bobby, to me, it's exciting but also like a curse."

"I don't believe you. Well, Aunty, my mummy will be coming later to meet you." Bobby informed Grace.

"Oh, she doesn't need to stress herself. Adam is fine now. And you two as well, you can go back to your schools, you shouldn't leave your studies now that everything is fine." Grace told them.

Magnus nodded, he needed to do some other things before going back to school. But before that, he handed Grace and Adam 2 neck chains, 3 rings, 3 feet rings, 1 bracelet.

"Wear them at all times, they will save you from most attacks. They are better than the last ones. You too, Bobby, I'm giving you a set, these are tough times and nobody knows when what might happen. Be careful." Magnus warned them.

None of them said a single word to protest, as it was apparent from the condition of Adam. In that bomb blast, any normal person would have died. They put them on.

"Mummy, I will go back to school now. Please write me a letter as soon as dad gets discharged. Also, you can just speak the name of Abraham and George, they will teleport to you and help you with everything. Bobby, you take care on your trip to the US." Magnus gave everyone a hug.

Then he went back to the terrace, called Abraham and went to Ted Tonk's office. There was a secret room in the building just made for people to apparate in. It was a weird room as one could only open it from inside or with magic.

He went straight to the office of the CEO. He was stopped by many in his way but didn't have the patience to talk to each of them, he would just cast a confundus charm on them and keep going.

After walking a few steps he arrived at the corner office with the best view. He knocked on it and entered.

But, just as he entered he bumped into Ted who was on his way out rushedly.

"Ah, I was just coming to you. I saw the news. Is your father alright?" Ted asked.

"Yes, he's fine, magic healed him fast. The terrorists have also been dealt with, but we have a different problem." He handed Ted the newspaper cutout and took a seat himself.

Ted was shocked at the very least after reading it, "This... why would she do this? She is bound by contract to never publish anything about you."

"Do you have the contract copy?" Magnus asked.

Ted quickly took out a piece of paper from his magical enchanted safe. Magnus read it fully. It had clearly said that for the money Magnus would be paying her, she was to write articles about a few topics he had specified and it specifically said not to write something against him, her employer. If she breaks the contract then she must pay 50 times of what she received.

Magnus quickly got up, "Send her a legal notice, she has broken the contract and now she must pay according to the contract. Give the contract to the Goblins, they are more intimidating, they will take a little money but that's nothing for getting rid of the headache."

*Knock Knock*

Adrian Durand, chief of MEDA entered, he came here after finding out about a kid visiting Ted.

"How are you, how's the company going?" Magnus asked him quickly. he was excited to know the prospect of using magic in investigative work.

"It's going good, your majesty. We have had a 100% success rate since the start, the list of clients is constantly increasing. I reckon that we make good connections with the Law Enforcement, so I've also been helping the Police in some cases they couldn't solve. Besides this, I've come across just one confusing case, I don't know what to do. It was the murder of a schoolgirl, committed by a wizard, but, there is no way to prove it without revealing the magic and breaking the statute of secrecy." Adrian briefed.

Magnus thought for a while, "Hmm, he will probably be sent to Azkaban, catch him and hand him to Moody. Then find another criminal, who committed a murder, but is still free due to not getting caught. Gather evidence for his previous crime and also put the blame for this crime on him and hand him to coppers. We're doing a service to mankind by putting men like them behind bars, late justice is as good as no justice at all."

After getting a clear command and finding out about what the Modus operandi of the company was going to be, Adrian now had a clear picture of his work.

Magnus got up to leave as he needed to be back at Hogwarts or else by the time he returns the whole Slytherin would be in the palms of Lucius.

"Ted, send the notice to Rita, if she has anything to say then do hear her out, I would like to know from where did she grow a backbone this strong. Also, find out about all her recent activities and inform me. I helped her become a famous journalist, it was an investment from my side and I hate when my investments go bad." He ordered and left.

As soon as he left, Adrian looked at his friend, Ted, in confusion, "Are you sure he's just 12 years old?"

Ted shook his head while sighing, "I know, I've been asking that to myself all this time but..."

*POOF*

As soon as Ted sat on his chair again, a smelly wet fart sounded. "But then he does things like this and makes me feel better, knowing that he's indeed a kid."

"HAHA..." Adrian laughed.

But, all of a sudden, Ted felt something under his ass on the chair. He got up and saw it was a letter. He opened it and, sure enough, it was from Magnus.

"Haha... got you again. Well, congratulations on the birth of your daughter. This is a small gift from me to her. Some shares of Sugarplum's Sweets Shop so she can have an unlimited supply of tasty candies." the letter read.

Ted chuckled, ~It's always about investments with him, truly a greedy dragon. But thanks for the gift.~

[A/N: A serious question. What do you think about the pace of the story? Is this fine or should it be faster? Do keep in mind that there will be time skips in the future.]
