Chapter 169: 169. Let's Catch A Snake

The Quidditch had ended, so it was a 1-day break before the classes started. Today, Magnus had planned to enter the hole. He was preparing for his journey and for this he had arrived at Gringotts, to see his vault.

He entered it through normal means and a long journey. Inside, he quickly picked a few wands for himself. Then he went to the work in Merlin's vault.

There, he started forging something that would help them with dealing with the Basilisk, mainly the eyes. Other than this, he took some potions and Rune books to study them. He'd hoped it would help Ragnar.

After being done with this, he went back up. There, he saw the Head Goblin Novgor. He had asked him to stop by before returning to the school. Magnus had also secretly come here with George.

He arrived at the private room, the Gringotts had given it to him for being the secret boss.

"Welcome, Your Majesty, please take a seat." Norgov quickly started to grovel.

"I need to go back to school, Mr Norgov. I have some important things to do there." Magnus told him, signalling to be quick.

Norgov rubbed his hands like the greedy person he was. "Well, sir, you told me last year that you would help us with some investments. Gringotts has some funds left out, so I wanted to ask you about it. On which company should I invest?"

"Tech companies like Intel, IBM or even Entertainment companies like Disney will do. The technology of the world is advancing very fast. The world is getting closer to each other and globalisation is the craze. All these companies will expand and become huge in the future. But don't expect this to be a scheme of doubling money in a year. You will have to wait for more than a decade at the very least." Magnus told him quickly.

He had a very good sense when it came to business and hoarding money, especially gold, which was his favourite hobby.

Novgor quickly wrote down all the names of the companies Magnus blurted. "I will see check them, sir."

"Take care then, and keep auditing the accounts of all the families I told you about. If they break the contract, freeze the accounts." He instructed and left.

He called George first and told him where he wanted to go, "To Dorset, Newt Scamander's home."

"Aye Aye, sir." George teleported with him.

...

*Knock Knock*

Tina Goldstein Scamander opened the door.

Magnus greeted her, "Good morning, Mrs Scamander"

She was a little shocked by this, "Magnus, come in. What brought you here?"

While walking in, he started telling her, "I needed to transport something very big through a small place. So I came to ask Mr Scamander for his suitcase, that is if he is comfortable giving it."

"He would surely give it, it's not as if he goes anywhere these days." She said and led him to the living room, where Magnus sat and George stood at the side.

"You can sit too, we don't discriminate in this house." She told the elf.

George had a habit of doing this because although his boss was very kind, it didn't mean everyone else would be either.

After that, she went to call Newt, who was probably with the magical beasts. Magnus meanwhile made sure his money pouch was totally secure in his chest pocket. Those Nifflers were very sneaky beasts.

After waiting for a few minutes, Newt came, and just behind him was David. Magnus had nearly forgotten about him because of all the chaos a few days back.

He got up and shook their hands, "David, how are you?"

David seemed much livelier now, and the aura around him spoke of the changes in him. He smiled and replied, "Very good, Magnus. You didn't feel the shock this time, right?"

Magnus just realised this, "Oh, does this mean you can use magic now?"

"Yes and no, I am still learning to control it for now. I'm taking my inspiration from many friendly magical beasts. And Mr Scamander has helped me stabilise whenever my magic goes out of control. But those cases have decreased now." David briefed him about his progress.

Old Newt took a seat and joyfully spoke, "Thank you, Magnus. David is such a polite boy, with him around, I can take care of the beasts twice as much as before. He's been a great help."

"Nice to hear that, Sister Mary would be happy to hear this too. Do send her a letter some time, David." Magnus advised him.

"Here, drink this tea. I grew it myself, it can calm minds." Mrs Scamander gave him a teacup.

Magnus happily drank it, not acting too conserved. Besides, one of the charms of being a kid was that adults don't get angry about little things.

"Uncle Scamander, I need your suitcase for something important." Magnus requested. This was his technique to butter some people. Would you say no to the Future King of Britain for something? Especially when the king called you uncle?

"You can take it, but tell me what are you going to do with it?" Newt inquired.

"Well, I need to transport a very big item, an animal actually. Don't worry, I know what I am doing. When I will come to study with you, I will show you the animal. I can guarantee you that you will be amazed." Magnus replied and wondered what Newt's reaction will be after seeing nearly all XXXXX ranked beasts from around the world living together and playing like little kids.

Newt didn't ask further, the suitcase was of no use to him anyway, and he can always make more of them later. And he liked Magnus enough not to deny, after all, Magnus had helped him with his house loan; he now didn't need to worry about money and could help the beasts better. "Fine then, you can have it."

"Thank you, I will return it later. Okay, I need to go now, I got a lot of things to do today. Bye-bye..." Magnus just took the suitcase and dashed away with George.

Newt and Tina were left in a daze.

"Wait, we didn't even congratulate him for catching that monster in human skin. Also, his quidditch win." Tina remembered.

"Well, now he's gone. Good to see him take so much interest in beasts." Newt muttered in satisfaction.

To this Tina scoffed, "Of course, you would appreciate it, your first love are those beasts after all, poor old me probably has a small corner location in your heart."

Newt panicked, "Oh... Tina... that's not the case... you have my whole heart... really."

Seeing this she laughed, "HAHAHA... Newton Artemis Fido Scamander, no matter how grown-up you act in front of kids, you were and will always be the Newt I know. The one who couldn't take my hints."

"Come on, that was decades ago, and how was I supposed to know I should kiss you?" He tried to defend himself.

But she shook her head, "We were standing at the port, you were leaving for Britain, we were looking into each other's eyes for 5 minutes straight and continuously saying goodbye. Hell, I even moved a little closer to give you the hint."

Newt raised his finger to say something but then put it down and sighed, "*Sigh* I guess I really was a dense man back then."

...

Magnus arrived at Camelot this time. He needed to catch Duck in the suitcase.

"Grandma, where is Duck?" Magnus asked Martha, she was happily cooking something in the giant kitchen. It was her favourite hobby.

"Welcome, dear. Duck must be by the Blue Lake. He's probably playing with Horne Serpent and Sea Serpent there. Oh, and before you go, I will pack these cookies for you, take them with you and share them with friends." She told him.

"Okay, Grandma. George can help you pack it too. I will find Duck till then." Magnus said and flew out with a broom.

Duck was at least playing with beasts of his size now. The Horned Serpent was another XXXXX beast, while the sea serpent was XXX. The sea serpents were common and they were also very friendly creatures, seldom harming humans. They had a head resembling a horse and the body of a snake, but they grew huge in size, going as far as 100 feet.

The most famous Sea Snake in the world was Loch Ness Monster, but that not actually a sea serpent. It was a Kelpie(shapeshifting water demon) whose favourite form was that of a Sea Serpent.

Soon, Magnus arrived over the Blue Lake and saw the three creatures playing in the water, splashing it at each other, but with enough force that a normal human would die from it.

Magnus directly landed on the giant head of Sea Serpent. All of them immediately recognised him and didn't attack. The Sea Serpent also seemed very happy.

"Having fun? Well, I am going to bring another friend for you all. It will be a 1000-year-old giant Basilisk. But, don't worry, I will take care of his eye problem and also teach him well." Magnus announced them.

Here, only the other big XXXXX beast could deal with the Basilisk if it came to that.

"Duck, come with me, we will be catching that Basilisk soon," Magnus instructed him and opened the suitcase, leaving it on the ground.

"QUACK!" Duck replied and happily walked into the suitcase. He was also hungry for some fighting.

Then he waved goodbye at the snakes and flew back to the castle.

"Grandma, I'm leaving. Where are the cookies?" He asked.

"S-Sir... here..."

Magnus's eyes fell on a large cloth bag, it was even bigger than him, but George was standing behind it, "These are the cookies?"

Martha chuckled, "Hehe, I made a little too much. Don't forget to share."

"Friends? I think this would be enough for all students in the school. Well, let's go, George. But don't bring this bag along, take it to Diagon Alley and mail it to me. This way I can justify where I got it from." He ordered.

Chapter 170: 170. The Hole

*POP*

Magnus returned to his dorm room in Hogwarts. Ragnar and Severus were waiting for him there, all ready to head to the adventure.

"Did you get the rooster?" Magus asked them.

"See for yourself," Severus replied and pointed to the bed. There, Chad and Summer were curiously looking at the Rooster.

"Well, our preparations are complete it seems. Summer, Chad and Rooster, get inside this suitcase. Duck is also there." he ordered the three.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

Magnus quickly hid the suitcase under the bed and opened the door. Emma stood on the other side, "I made the pancakes as promised. Ta-da..."

She showed Magnus a plate covered with a lid. The mouth-watering aroma was already piercing Magnus' nose.

"Come later, Emma, we have some work to do..." Ragnar tried to send her way.

But, before Emma could get angry, Magnus took the plate, "We can always wait. No need to let the pancakes cool down."

~Of course, now we can wait.~ Severus muttered to himself.

Emma silently stood at the side of the table. She had been up all night, trying to perfect her pancakes. She followed the recipe exactly as written by Grace. But it still took her some time to make them look the best. She also had to send an owl to her dad to send maple syrup as soon as possible.

She was confident, but nervous too.

Magnus calmly sat by his study table and lifted the lid. Immediately, the aroma of pancakes flooded his face in the form of steam. "Ah... this is what spring smells like. So tasty."

"Okay, let's dig in." He happily held the knife and fork. But first, he did pour some syrup on the side.

Then, he cut the steaming hot pancakes. It was smooth, telling that the quality of the pancake was top notch.

He finally took a bite and chewed it for a long time with his eyes closed. Even Emma had her eyes closed.

Then, *BOOM*

Magnus' eyes shot open as if he had reached the enlightenment of Buddha. But this was Pancake Enlightenment.

Next thing, the loud noise of spoons and plate clanking noise started to come.

Emma opened her eyes slightly and saw the scene. The plate was empty, so clean that it looked as if there wasn't anything in the first place.

*PAT PAT*

Magnus suddenly got up and patted her head, "Good job, Emma. You made very good pancakes, much better than the bland batter I eat every day in the school."

Finally, she took a sigh of relief and cheered, "YEEESSSS... I won the bet!"

Magnus just remembered he had made a bet too, and he didn't want to lose it. But he was so lost in the taste that he forgot to deny Emma that the pancakes were good. But how could he cheat with his favourite food? A good pancake deserves to be admired.

"Boys, let's go, we got work." Magnus tried to slide away silently.

"No no... you lost the bet, now you must give me flying lessons." She caught his robes.

"Tsk... fine, let's meet on Sunday. Ragnar sucks at flying too, I will teach him at the same time." Magnus decided.

"YES! I will go back and clean my broom. Bye-bye..." She happily chirped and skipped away.

But, just as she was gone, Severus realised something and loudly exclaimed, "WAIT! How did she get inside the boys dorms?"

"You can't go in the girl's dorms?" Ragnar inquired, hearing about this for the first time.

Magnus shook his head, "No, if you try to you will be magically thrown away, also the house head will be notified."

"Then... this means the rule is only applicable for their dorms. Anybody can enter the boys' dorms? Isn't this dumb?" Ragnar asked.

"It is dumb, I will ask Dumbledore later about this. What happened to gender equality? Rules should be the same for all." Magnus muttered. He could have avoided the bet if that was the case.

"Anyway, let's go to the chamber," Ragnar interjected and started walking away.

But when Magnus lifted the suitcase, he stopped, "Umm... let's go in the night. I don't think it'll be easy to sneak out with this suitcase and all the students in the common room."

They nodded in agreement and waited till night.

...

11 PM

Almost everybody was sleeping by now. So the three slowly sneaked out. To them, reaching the 1st floor was easy, as the stairs were not far away from their dungeon.

Magnus was in the lead as he had very good ears. Only Filch moved around at this time of the night.

It took them just 15 minutes to reach the bathroom and as soon as they were inside they were safe. The only person to disturb them here was Myrtle, but she was ignored.

Magnus went ahead and opened the entrance. He didn't know if this was the entrance to Chamber of Secrets though. For all he knew, it could be a sewage entrance for someone to clean. But monsters don't come out of sewage and kill people. But again, this was not a normal world.

Magnus took out his expansion pouch and brought out 3 brooms. "Let's go, hopefully, it won't be a pile of sewage water waiting for us there."

Ragnar stood beside the hole and looked down, his heartbeat fastened, "Oh man, why did I agree to do this. I could have been sleeping right now."

Severus also looked down, and his eyes widened too, but he was a master of hiding emotions and didn't let his fear appear.

"We should check how deep it is first," Severus suggested.

"But how? Throwing fire in sewage is like making a bomb. Someone has to go down and check. Someone who can fly and..."

Their heads turned to a particularly translucent ghost in the bathroom.

Myrtle was just looking inside the hole after gathering some courage. But then she noticed the eyes on her.

"NO NO NO... NEVER! Are you crazy? Go away, stupid boys." She backed away and tried to fly to her toilet booth and hide.

"Come on, Myrtle, just tell us how deep it goes, that's it. We don't want you to go deeper." Magnus tried to convince her.

She shrank back in fear, "Why would I? I barely know you, and it's so dark there, what if I die?"

-__-

"You're already dead," Ragnar reminded her.

"Come on, Myrtle. Okay, if you do this, I will do you a favour. Whatever you ask for." Magnus offered her.

"Anything?" She asked back.

Magnus felt alarms ringing in his head, "What exactly do you want?"

"I WANT YOU TO KILL OLIVE HORNBY! He used to bully poor me," she shouted in a very high pitched voice.

Magnus, Ragnar and Severus' shoulders fell in disappointment. Without even looking at her, Magnus went to the edge of the hole, "Let's go, guys. She's useless to us. I'll jump first!"

"YOU CALLED ME USELESS?! HOW DARE YOU!" She seethed in rage and flew after Magnus.

But, too bad for her, as soon as she reached, Magnus jumped down with his broom.

"UH-OH!" Myrtle muttered with regret. She just realised that ghosts couldn't fly as high as she thought.

"AAAAAAA...."

She started falling down in the hole too.

"How can she be so dumb? I thought people with glasses were supposed to be smart." Ragnar facepalmed seeing her stupidity.

...

Magnus, who had jumped down, was on the edge of his mind, trying to see what was down there. On top of that, he couldn't really manoeuvre his broom that well in such a tight space, and due to that it was falling very fast.

He was so focused looking down that he didn't even see up. And then all of a sudden a loud Banshee scream resounded near his ear.

"MUMMY! What was that?" Magnus got spooked, goosebumps rose on his skin.

"SAVE MEeeeee....."

That was all Magnus heard and soon the figure of Myrtle was seen falling down as she passed him.

Realising it was her, Magnus shrugged it off and focused on slowly descending. He cast a Lumos spell and made it project light downward, so at least he'd know when the ground was coming.

But it was taking too long and his heart was feeling restless. ~Salazar really loved holes it seems, what else can you expect from a snake?~

"AH! Finally..." The light finally bounced off the surface. Immediately he realised it was a bend in the pipe.

*WOOSH*

He came out of the giant pipe, but he didn't step down. He looked around, it was truly a sewage. But it was full of mouse skeletons and there was also a disgusting smell.

"I would have been fine if I had jumped down, well all except falling on this disgusting garbage. Hehehe but..." Magnus's face grew an evil smile as a plan formed in his head.

He went back to the pipe and used Sonorus charm to loudly call Ragnar and Severus.

"JUMP DOWN, There is a bend here, you won't get hurt." He suggested and he was not lying either.

Magnus waited for a second and soon heard loud intensifying screams of Severus and Ragnar.

"aaaaaaAAAAAAA... *POOF*" With great speed they fell out of the pipe.

*SNIFF SNIFF*

Ragnar was the first to look down. And immediately his nose shrank.

"Hehe... how was the slide?" Magnus asked them from on top of a broom, looking all clean.

"BASTARD! HERE! take this." Ragnar raged and started throwing the garbage on Magnus.

Severus was also angry, but with a plain face, he used a levitation spell and showered Magnus with trash.

"COME ON! It was a joke." Magnus tried to save himself, but to no avail, he was also dirty in the end.
