5 days later, Magnus' Mansion
"Wah, I love technology. Rag, increase the volume." Magnus nudged Ragnar.
At the moment, both of them were sitting on the couch like two couch potatoes. They were being lazy, there was a plate full of snacks in front of them and a few empty cans of coke while the television showed some movie.
"Eh... Do it yourself, remote is too far." Ragnar denied.
Magnus glared at him, "What the hell, it's right in front of you."
"It's further than my arms can reach." Ragnar lazily said.
Magnus was angry, "Yes, by just 2 inches."
"To me, it's like two miles. Just chill, brother. Concentrate on the screen and you will hear just fine." Ragnar said.
Seeing the strange non-hyperactive behaviour of Ragnar, Magnus became suspicious. "Are you okay? Wait... why are your eyes red? Did you drink or smoke something?"
"I don't know, I was just doing a test in my lab. I inhaled some fumes, nothing too serious." Ragnar replied.
"Ragnar, you are high. What the hell were you experimenting on?" Magnus inquired.
"Sleeping bomb. You throw it on the enemies in large numbers, it will spew smoke around and anybody who inhales it will fall asleep immediately." Ragnar explained.
Magnus was now fully sure that Ragnar had smelled some kind of narcotic substance. He didn't know if it would kill him though.
~He's an experienced potioneer, he'll probably live.~
*DING DONG*
The doorbell rang. It was just Magnus and Ragnar at home. Abe was out to get the groceries and George was out to make sure no IRA scum tried anything harmful on his parents.
Magnus went to open the door. He was in long shorts and a t-shirt. It was unusually hot this summer.
"Is this the pizza I ordered?" He wondered and opened the door.
Lazily, he looked and paused for a moment. Then suddenly he jumped out and hugged the person.
"AH, MY BROTHER BOBBY!" Magnus cheered. Of course, the first day he arrived back at home he had called Bobby. But his mother told him that he had gone to Oxford University.
Magnus then had to talk to Mrs Armstrong, as she told him how unbelievable she feels these days. She herself was a teacher and knew that Bobby wasn't initially this smart, but something happened after staying with Magnus and Mrs Armstrong was very happy about that.
Magnus had literally jumped on Bobby and now Bobby was stumbling, trying to carry the weight.
"What the hell, why are you acting like a monkey?" Bobby asked while throwing Magnus away.
"Huh... Don't talk bad about them, Monkeys are cool. Read about Sun Wukong, a really funny powerful monkey demigod. Come now, I will show you my awesome new home hehe..." Magnus dragged him in.
As soon as they arrived in the living room, Ragnar was seen watching television from just 2 feet away.
"What's he doing?" Bobby asked.
"Ignore him, he inhaled something bad earlier. He'll be fine eventually. Come, I'll show you the bowling alley." Magnus said and took him to play bowling.
...
"So, how's college going? Our Bobby is growing too fast it seems." Magnus inquired.
Bobby shrugged, "It's normal. A lot of new stuff to learn though. I'm still looking for a few members for the Order of Merlin. I've selected 3 for now but I'm still reviewing them. One is the son of a family of politicians. His dad is an MP. Then there is an economics student, who wrote some really great articles in a few magazines. Finally, there is the son of a Supreme Court Judge. He's also studying law."
*Whistle*
"You've been busy. I've also started looking for some worthy characters. But summer vacation has started. I also need to prepare to stop the Wizard version of Hitler." Magnus told his side of the story.
*Sigh*
Bobby sighed in pity, "Sometimes I envy you for having magic but then pity you for literally having to fight for survival."
"Heh, everything's got its pros and cons. And I guess it'll be a part of my life to go through assassination attempts as I'll be the next king. Ah, did I tell you, I met the queen a few days ago," Magnus revealed.
"And? Did she curse at you? Maybe hit you with her bag?" Bobby jokingly asked.
Magnus started, "Heh, no, nothing of that sort. She agreed to all my demands. I guess she admitted defeat, knowing that fighting me will be bad only for her. Dad will be announced as her eldest secret son this year."
Bobby laughed, "HAHA... I can imagine how shocked uncle must have been. So he's going to be the crown prince."
"Yes, anyway, what about you? How is the FutureTek coming along?" Magnus asked him. He was genuinely interested in this company as he had many big plans for it.
"Awesome. We will start manufacturing computers next month. I've already received a few thousand orders. By the way, YOU BOUGHT CHRYSLER BUILDING?" Bobby exclaimed in question.
"That building is called Chrysler building? Wait... isn't that a car factory?" Magnus was so confused right now.
-_-
Bobby suddenly realised something.
"Car factory? It is one of the most iconic skyscrapers in Manhattan. It's a very famous commercial office building." Bobby explained.
"WHAT?!" Magnus was in shock.
"B-But... I told Ted to buy the Chrysler for me... I just wanted to invest in cars." Magnus said, while slowly realising he was the one who messed up.
"Is that building worth it though? Is my money lost?" Magnus asked him in concern.
"No, you can rest easy. The building is very famous and in a prime location. It's a very valuable real estate investment." Bobby's words were enough to make Magnus feel at ease.
"I seriously need an assistant." Magnus tiredly muttered.
*DING DONG*
"Now who is it?" Magnus and Bobby went to open the door.
But, as they arrived they saw Ragnar was already at the door, he had opened it and was now just standing there like a statue.
On the other side of the door was a confused Sirius, who was being weirded out by Ragnar. "Are you sleepwalking?"
"Just come in, Sirius, ignore him," Magnus spoke. Sirius quickly sneaked in from Ragnar's side.
But, Magnus seeing that Ragnar might harm himself if left like this, decided to put him to sleep. He took out his wand and pointed it at him.
"Stupefy"
And Ragnar dropped silently. He then levitated him and put him on the couch.
"What the hell even goes on in your life? Everything is so strange." Sirius asked weirdly.
But Magnus shrugged his shoulder, "To me, it has become daily life now. Come, we were playing bowling."
Once in the playroom, Magnus asked Sirius, "What brought you here?"
"I ran out actually. Came here to warn you. My sister, Bellatrix, is now officially married to Rudolphus Lestrange. And I just saw Bellatrix raging about catching your little arse to impress her lord." Sirius informed him.
Magnus scratched his head, "Is she a pedo? Why would she want my ass? And why did your family let her marry a handicapped? Besides, he will die sooner than later, there is no mercy for him in my book, especially in Ragnar's book. If you can, persuade Bellatrix to leave this path, there is still time."
"Haha... don't joke. My whole family supports this mess. If I protested they would lock me in the dungeons. They are a gone case. Narcissa is still somewhat sane but even she is being pushed by family now. Regulus has also changed since I left for school. He talks less to me." Sirius' face turned sad.
"STRIKE!" Magnus bowled a perfect strike and cheered.
"Don't worry, Regulus will be impressed by my coolness. One way or another, I will befriend him. Don't forget my charm." Magnus boasted.
"Sure, after all, only you in our group have a girlfriend." Sirius joked.
Bobby chuckled, "Hehe, I remember now, he was very famous with girls even in elementary school. They would fight each other to hold his hand."
"That was because I was hot... I mean my body temperature was high..." Magnus tried to clarify but he admitted defeat when Sirius and Bobby didn't stop laughing.
...
After Magnus and the rest were gone, the living room went silent. But, there were Arthur and Merlin in the portrait, lazing and looking at Ragnar. Magnus had put many enchanted portraits for them in the house so they could move around in them.
"I can guarantee he inhaled the unicorn hair ash." Merlin diagnosed.
"Hmm... I remember going through it myself." Arthur added.
As they were talking, they noticed Summer and Chad coming and looking at Ragnar with interest. Chad jumped on Ragnar's chest and slapped him. Summer was pecking on his head.
"CHAD, make a cat punch on the joint of his legs," Arthur commanded the cat.
All too familiar with Arthur. Chad obeyed and went close to Ragnar's manhood.
Merlin couldn't see this happening. "SUMMER! stop Chad. Show your power, girl."
Summer quickly flew and also grabbed Chad with her claws and then threw him on the floor from some height.
Arthur turned to Merlin, "Are you picking a fight with me? Your mumbo jumbo won't work here, Chad is stronger."
"But he cannot fly, SUMMER, I choose you... as my champion. Beat Chad." Merlin shouted.
Arthur did the same and started instructing Chad.
But the end result of this fight was going to be a headache for Magnus.

Magnus returned to the living room, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dreaming. Because it was now unrecognisable.
All the lamps were broken, the sofa was scratched, the curtains were torn apart, walls were a mess. The flower pots were thrown around and dirt was spread all over the floor.
And Ragnar was still on the couch, sleeping, on top of him Chad and Summer were sitting as if they were also shocked by what had happened.
"Alright, who did it?" Magnus asked them.
Both Summer and Chad pointed towards sleeping Ragnar. Magnus knew they were lying, but he didn't get too angry. After all, he was a wizard.
He waved his wand, "Reparo"
Automatically all the stuff that was broken started to fix itself and all the walls returned to their original state.
"WOOAAAHHH!" Bobby gasped in amazement. It was one of those magic spells that always felt too unreal, even to Magnus.
In just a few minutes everything sorted itself into places and the living room once again looked neat and clean.
"Thank god Abe and George were not here, they would have forced me not to use magic and let them clean the place themselves. They think Reparo charm does not clean the place completely." Magnus muttered.
Sirius chuckled, "Heh, yeah, I think all house elfs have some kind of a cleaning disorder."
"It's called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a medical term." Bobby chimed in.
"Well, we can go outside and have some fun but Ragnar is asleep. What should we do to him? Merlin, any suggestions?" Magnus asked the old man relaxing in the portrait.
"Lemon juice with a lot of pepper, a full glass of it," Merlin suggested.
"Ah... poor Ragnar." Bobby pitted the sleeping boy.
Magnus quickly went to the kitchen and squeezed lots of lemons in a glass and then put 2 spoonfuls of red pepper powder.
"This should do the job." He thought and went to Ragnar.
"Bobby, keep his mouth open." He instructed.
He then proceeded to pour the contents of the glass into Ragnar's mouth. But slowly. Soon, half of the glass was empty, and that was when Ragnar's eyes shot open wider than they thought they could.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA...."
"Marvellous, we have another dragon in the house," Merlin commented from the side.
"WHAT DID... MY MOUTH IS BURNING... AAAAAA..." Ragnar started running around.
But before he could run to drink water and make it worse, Bobby quickly handed him a bottle of flavoured milk. Ragnar quickly chugged it down. Then he chugged two more bottles.
Then he finally calmed down and looked at Magnus with rageful eyes. "WHY?"
"Merlin suggested it. He said you will wake up after this. Also, you were high." Magnus clarified.
"Just the lemon juice would have been fine, why the pepper?" Ragnar asked.
"For flavour... alright, I'll head to another room," Merlin said from the portrait and dashed away.
"DAMN YOU!" Ragnar went ahead and destroyed the portrait. But, Merlin had already left by then.
*Pat Pat*
Chad patted on Ragnar's head. Magnus also did the same, "Calm down, boy."
*BAM*
"Stop acting innocent." Ragnar threw his hand aside.
"Come on, we were going out to the park. It's summer, let's play now." Bobby reminded them and started leaving, not wasting time.
All of them headed out and arrived at the biggest park in the area. They were on bicycles. Bobby had one and Magnus and Ragnar had one each. Sirius sat behind Magnus.
Once they arrived at the park, they were confused about what to even play. So, Magnus decided it was a good opportunity to practice close combat.
"Let's practice fighting. We will also speak various spells while fighting and try to overcome them. Remember, it's all a simulation." Magnus suggested and everyone agreed to it.
The first to fight were Magnus and Sirius. Both of them stood a distance from each other, with sticks as wands.
"Hehe, how will we even fight when you can't get close to me?" Sirius asked. He was confident that before Magnus could even come close to him he would have cast a charm.
Magnus smiled, "Try me."
"START!" Ragnar acted as the umpire.
"STUPEF...!" Sirius shouted.
"Haha..." Magnus laughingly threw his house keys at Sirius before he could complete the spell and dashed towards him at the same time.
Now, even as Sirius completes the spell, it will only hit the keys, while Magnus was already very close to him.
"Impedimenta" Magnus cast. It was a spell that prevented the victim from approaching the caster.
But, Sirius didn't even know what this spell was as he had not read about it yet.
Magnus zigzagged and soon arrived right in front of Sirius and locked his leg to trip Sirius.
*THUD*
Sirius fell down while Magnus sat on top of him and the wooden stick was at Sirius' neck. Everything happened so fast that Sirius had no time to even think.
"Merlin's Tits... you were so fast... like a wild animal," Sirius exclaimed in shock.
"Hehe... of course, I have dragon's blood after all." He replied and helped him get up.
Next, Magnus looked at Ragnar, "Your turn,"
"Hehe... prepare yourself for the payback." Ragnar happily came forward. The poor soul didn't really have much use for his wand as he sucked at most of the charms, but he was indeed working hard to at least become proficient at common spells.
They stood at a distance initially. Magnus didn't even use his wand to keep the match even, but he knew that Ragnar would have used his potions if he were to use wands.
"Here I come," Magnus said and once again dashed to his opponent. Ragnar instead didn't even move and stayed in one spot. He looked at Magnus coming close to him and started calculating the time of arrival.
~1~
~2~
~NOW~ he counting in his brain. And as soon as Magnus was at arm's length, he opened his mouth and blew out some kind of silver powder. It hit Magnus's face directly.
Magnus felt as if he had turned blind all of a sudden. Everything seemed white and flashing around him.
"WHAT THE HELL..." He cursed.
"Hehe... I got you." Ragnar chuckled.
"NUTCRACKER KICK!"
*BAM*
In pain, Magnus' mouth opened, but no sound came from it, just pain-filled air. He fell back to the ground while holding his family jewels.
"May the Lord have mercy." Bobby prayed for him.
Ragnar proudly smirked, "You like that? You thought I was weak? Hehe, I've got a million ways to fight, and I don't shy away from fighting dirty."
Magnus, though, knew he couldn't complain, as this was a fair and square fight. It's just that he didn't act carefully and that's why he was taken by surprise.
It took a few minutes for Magnus to return to normal. The pain also healed in time.
"Phew... It's still there." Magnus looked inside his pants with relief.
"Magnus, fight me now." Bobby suddenly voiced.
He didn't say no. But he was now certain it was going to be a strict muggle fight. The two didn't stand too far this time.
Bobby and Magnus slowly got closer to each other. Bobby had both his fists up near his chest and eyes focused on Magnus.
~Why does he look so prepared?~ Magnus wondered while looking at Bobby's stance.
Magnus made a big step forward and sent his fist towards Bobby's face.
"WHAT?"
But to his shock, Bobby was so damn fast. He ducked and sidestepped, immediately getting a clear aim on Magnus' cheeks. He took the shot.
*BOOM*
*BAM*
Bobby's punch landed straight at Magnus' cheekbones. But Magnus had also sent a fist to Bobby's stomach.
Both of them fell to the ground. Magnus was so shocked by this, Bobby, though, was laughing madly.
"HAHAHA... finally... my hard work paid off," Bobby told himself.
Magnus quickly got up and asked, "How did you do that, Bobby?"
Bobby proudly smirked, "Well, I don't know, but since I started drinking that special potion from Ragnar, I've been feeling so healthy and strong. So, I started taking boxing classes for self-defence. And look, I was able to punch a wizard right in the face... Money well spent."
Magnus was still in shock, looking at Ragnar and Sirius.
Ragnar, with a satisfied smile, went to Bobby and helped him get up, "Hehe, congrats on beating the future king of Britain and good to know my potion works. It's nothing too special, just keeps your health at its peak, but there is one thing extra it does, it increases your bone and muscle density slightly."
"No wonder I feel so strong," Bobby said while looking at his hand.
Magnus was still standing a distance away, looking at his own hands, ~Even Bobby is getting so strong. Why is my strength not progressing as fast as before now? What good is my magic if I can not keep my body safe?~
*PAT PAT*
Sirius patted Magnus' back, "Don't start crying now."
"Oh really? I'll make you cry. All of you versus me, let's do it." Magnus proclaimed.
But, they ignored him and headed to a small shop nearby to eat something.
"Guys... I was joking... I will not make you cry. Just one match." He ran after them.
But they were unable to realise that someone was watching them all this time, and may have gotten a wrong estimation of Magnus' strength due to him holding back his magical powers.
