"Dear Diary,
We have been out to catch this rat for weeks now. We have been camping outside his hole. The weather was not easy, the cold mountains were bearable in the day but at night it becomes a silent graveyard, with a hunger for some more bodies.
But we did not drop dead, for we are the strongest Goblins of Gringotts. Our boss, Old Mace, has been very hard on us, but he's also dear to us. He made us who we are today, he made us this powerful killing machine. But, I still feel a need to return home, to see my wife again.
I wish this Death Eater scum would come out of his hole soon, so we can claim the prize on his head.
12 November 1972." A buffed, armoured Goblin secretly wrote his diary entry and hid it. This was his hobby since childhood but neither his parents nor the Old Mace allowed him to do it. So he just started it in secret. Anyway, he was very strong now and even if people found out nobody had the guts to say anything.
His name was Zenrok. He believed that the reason why he was able to achieve so much was due to his calm mind, unlike how most other Goblins were. Due to his calm mind, he was able to see things most Goblins would ignore.
For now, he wished to someday meet His Majesty, so he could maybe elevate his status from being just a killer goblin for the bank.
"Zenrok, let's go, Old Mace has asked you to report." A goblin from the 5 goblin teams informed him.
Old Mace, the old head of the Warrior Goblins. He has been planning this hit for weeks now. The target was Antonin Dolohov, one of the important Death Eaters of Voldemort. From his info, this Death Eater was involved in many crimes and loved torturing Muggles, and wizards and witches who were not supporters of the Dark Lord.
They were currently near a castle in the Alps mountains. It was already winter and their job became tough. However, the reward for the bounty was 50,000 Galleons. That was a lot of gold.
"Ah, Zenrok, come, my son. You are the finest of all my sons and I can't be prouder. This time, you will lead the team on this assault. It's time this old man retires and sees you all furthering the legacy." Old Mace cheerfully said. He was just in a good mood because of thinking about the money.
Zenrok didn't have the guts to tell him he wanted to quit. So he agreed. "Yes, Old Mace. I will go and prepare."
"Good, we will attack at night, sneakily and subtly. We don't want the alarm to ring until we have the target in our custody. The Bounty poster says Dead or Alive. I see a dead wizard as a good wizard. So prepare your most lethal weapons." Old Mace ordered him and let him go.
...
It was nighttime, Old Mace and his 5 sons in all but name proceeded to the castle. They knew the scum wizard was hiding in the castle.
Their team was divided into 3 parts. 2 were the silent killers in the front, they were supposed to deal with any danger from ahead or neutralise any guard. Then there was Old Mace and Zenrok, the main brain of the operation giving commands. The last three were responsible for watching their back and act as a decoy if needed.
Using this, they first entered the castle. There were not many powerful guards in the building. And the castle was nothing but a tourist destination at this point. So there were muggles too. But, as it was late at night, they couldn't hear anything except some snoring and moaning from various rooms.
The wizard was supposed to be in the dungeons, where the castle served as a dwelling for wizards.
*WOOSH*
Zenrok threw a ball like crystal, it immediately started spewing smoke around. This was a new product launched in the market, explicitly available in one shop. It could make people fall asleep, and from what he was told, this was made by Magnus' genius friend, Ragnar.
In the entrance of the Wizard's dwelling, all fell asleep silently on the floor. They did not know where the target was so they checked each room. Soon, they found the one. Without waiting, all 6 barged into the room where Antonin Dolohov was staying.
When they finally entered, they saw him in a compromising state with a woman. Both were naked, Antonin Dolohov being on top of her, thrusting himself.
"SLEEP GIRL!" Zenrok cast magic on the girl first.
Shocked, Antonin Dolohov took his wand from the side table, but Zenrok's axe was already touching his neck.
"What do you want? Money? Just let me go and you shall have everything. You don't know whom I work for, if you kill me, the Dark Lord will come after you." Antonin started pleading with them as well as threatening them.
*BAM*
Old Mace slapped him, "You serve your master is the exact reason why we are hunting you, Wizard Scum. Haha... we're going to not only get money by killing you but also goodwill from his majesty."
Antonin was pinned down by other Goblins and Zenrok simply went to him and checked his wrist. There was indeed a dark mark.
Zenrok looked at his Old Mace. "Let's kill him, but take his head with us. We need to prove we have killed him after all."
"Good choice. There is no place for mercy in this world. Here, use this knife to kill him." Old Mace told him. It would have inflicted more pain on the man.
But Zenrok denied. "I have a better and quicker way to sever his head, no need for a small knife."
Zenrok seemed appalled using torturous means to kill people. He'd rather do it quickly and efficiently.
So, Zenrok used his axe to immediately chop his head off. Antonin kept on pleading until the end. Then next thing, they cleaned the room and left the headless body of the man, to spread fear among the Death Eaters, telling them that somebody was after them.
After they were gone, people found out about the dead body and the unconscious women the next day. It was horrifying. What was worse was that his identity could not be found as he was a wizard and not registered in any muggle database.
The Goblins quickly returned to their bank and started counting gold in their dreams already.
...
London,
The Hospital Magnus had dreams of, had its foundation nearly built. The walls had been erected using lots of levitation charms and enchantments.
Magnus had also given them many enchantments to put on the bricks to make sure the hospital's structure lasts decades without needing maintenance. But he needed to make sure that the magic was not so much that it would interfere with the electrical instrument.
Though the whole campus was a mess at the moment. Because it was all mud and dust right now. Only the building construction was going on and other muggles jobs couldn't be initiated for now. Once the main building structures are done, minor things like the wiring, painting, woodwork, glasswork, garden work will be done on public tenders, in this process wizards won't be used. The whole project will most likely be finished by the end of 1973. It was very fast considering the scale of all this. It could have been faster if he used only Wizards but that would be too suspecting and crazy for people to digest.
Magnus had instead hired the parents of a wizard, who were top MBAs. Their job was now to be the spokesperson of Emrys Construction and bring in more projects for them to create all around the world. They were also going to participate in many contract bidding in lots of government infrastructure projects in both the UK and the world. They were bound to outbid them all as their operational cost was not much. They only needed to pay for the material.
Edgar Bones, now had successfully trained 20 Wizards to become martial wizards, who could fight an average Auror. They worked day and night in two shifts. They were responsible for the safety and secrecy of the site. Other than that, about 80 wizards worked in the company on various levels. There were also 50 muggles who knew about the wizarding world.
"Ah, if this speed is kept, I'm sure His Majesty will be happy to see this during his Winter break." Edgar sighed seeing the Research Building being built. It was the most elaborate one because it was supposed to be much bigger underground than what it looked above.
...
*BOOM*
"Argh... I was nearly there. I think I can create this before December." Adam cursed, still working on the battery. He had already developed the engine, the aspect that worked on fossil fuel worked perfectly, all he needed now was the battery to test that out.
He was feeling slight pressure right now, as his ability to make this project work will decide when he is announced as the royal prince.
The queen had already come to their house 3 times and the media had started to speculate why this was happening.
...
At the same time, Magnus arrived at Camelot.
______________________
[A/N: Just so you know, Antonin Dolohov is not a no-name Death Eater. In terms of power, he comes only below Bellatrix and Adult Snape. He used to study with Tom Riddle and was a member of the first Gang of Slytherin.
In the future, according to canon. In 1981, he would murder the two brothers of Molley Weasely, they were Order of the Phoenix Member. Also, he was the one who tried to kill Harry, Ron and Hermione in London in Deathly Hallows. And his biggest achievement was that he killed Remus Lupis in the end. He was defeated by Flitwick later.
So, you can see that Magnus's measures against Death Eaters are not worthless. They are working.]

Magnus arrived at Camelot. Martha was already there waiting for him. She was told that he'd be bringing a basilisk here today. Knowing how dangerous the beast was, she wanted to make sure it didn't harm the other dwellers.
"Grandma, don't worry. I talked to Cuddles, yeah that's his name. I told him the rules, but I'm sure it'll take some time for him to get used to this environment.
"Duck has decided to teach him, as he's able to very easily beat him," Magnus informed her.
"Is that so? Come, I have already designated a cave for him." She said and flew away.
The cave was a good distance away from all the other animals. The XXXXX beasts usually had their homes at a good distance. Only super friendly ones like Duck were allowed to roam anywhere they wanted.
In the cave, Magnus let the Basilisk come out. Martha felt a little surprised.
"Amazing, this is the biggest Basilisk I have ever seen. He's most likely the biggest to have ever existed. And to think he lived in the sewers for so many years. Poor thing." Martha sympathised with Cuddles.
They later left Duck to teach Cuddles everything. Magnus returned to the sewage as Ragnar and Severus were still looking for Myrtle.
"MYRTLE, WHERE ARE YOU?"
"COME QUICK OR WE'LL LEAVE!"
They looked for her everywhere but she was nowhere to be seen. Magnus also wondered where do all these pipes lead to?
He did search the whole Chamber of Secrets though, but he didn't find any hidden secrets there. Maybe there was some cool stuff before but most probably the one who opened it years ago took everything. There was a room behind the biggest Salazar's sculpture. But it was empty. He did find some steel cups though.
Other than this, there wasn't much. It was wrong to call it Chamber of Secrets. Because only a snake lived there. It should have been called Basilisk Chamber or something.
*Sniff Sniff*
While Magnus was walking in the pipes, he finally heard the sniffs of a girl. Knowing who it was he went to her.
"Hey, let's go. Don't you want to go back to your favourite bathroom?" Magnus asked her.
Myrtle looked up at him, "Waaaa... where were you? I was so scared. I was lost in this maze."
"Can't you just pass through the walls?" He asked her in confusion.
"Yes, but then I might get lost in the dark walls. There are also places in Hogwarts Ghosts can't enter, what if I had gotten trapped," she informed him.
Well, Magnus couldn't pat her, she was a ghost. "Let's go now. I defeated the beast that killed you. It was a 1000 years old giant Basilisk. You looked in his eyes and died."
She seemed shocked, "REALLY? Finally, I have some answer... oh... no wonder I heard hissing sound back then. I guess now I can boast around with other ghosts, that I died not because of diarrhoea but because of a Basilisk... but... they won't believe me. Are you going to tell everyone about it? And get your photo taken for the papers?"
.
.
.
Magnus fell silent for the next 5 seconds. His mind was once again cooking a scheme. Something he did not think before, but now he realised he could not only become so famous, he could also tarnish the reputation of the Death Eaters.
"Hahaha... I'm a genius... No no... I am not... I still have a lot to learn." He bosted and also realised he shouldn't at the same time. He wanted to take Merlin's warning very seriously.
"Let's go, Myrtle, let's get you to safety. Follow me." He said and led her to Ragnar and Severus.
"Rag, take her above. Then wait there for me. Sev, you go too. I will explain everything soon. Trust me." He assured them.
With a hint of doubt and confusion, Ragnar agreed. Now when Magnus was left alone, he called George and once again arrived at Camelot.
...
Magnus saw Duck was training Cuddles, who diligently sat there and nodded his head after every rule was spoken. He had already eaten his lunch so he was in a good mood now.
"Hey, Cuddles, I'm going to need your help," Magnus spoke in Dragontongue.
Cuddles immediately proceeded towards him at great speed, Magnus somehow saw the intentions and stopped him, "DON'T. No cuddles, you are too strong and big, my little bones will turn into a paste. Hug Duck all you want."
Cuddles looked at Duck, but then Duck snorted and fumed flames from his nostrils, signifying his anger. That was the cue for Cuddles to not mess with him.
"Hehe, you two are friends already. Okay, Cuddles, I want you to come with me back to the chamber and act as if you are dead. Some people will come to check your body, someone will take a picture of me with you and then leave. When there will be nobody you will come back with me here. Okay?" Magnus suggested.
But, Cuddles seemed uncertain and somewhat scared. Magnus understood his fears. He probably had PTSD from living in that cave for all this time. But thankfully he did not remember all 1000 years, if he did then he'd probably have gone crazy.
Magnus patted the big snake's face, "Don't worry, I will not leave you there. I promise. It's just a matter of a few hours, by tonight, you will be back, eating a lot of tasty food."
Well, he loved the tasty food. "Hisss let'sss gooo..."
"ME-ME TOO!" Duck also jumped.
But Magnus denied, "No, duck, this is not the time to reveal you to the world. The day I will show you around will be the day I sit on the throne. You should work hard and grow big by then, so big that everyone will call you the king of dragons."
With this, everything was settled. Magnus brought Cuddles back to the cave. Then, he started creating the battle scene. He destroyed most of the snake sculptures, the face of Salazar was also damaged by him.
Then, in the middle was Cuddles. He still had a scar on top of his head, so Magnus just put a lot of fake blood on it.
"Okay, you need to act as if you are dead. Don't move and don't open your eyes even by mistake. I will still put a cloth on your eyes. You will be able to hear my voice so stay calm. Understood?" He asked after preparing him.
The big snake nodded his head obediently, laying down with open jaw and tongue falling out. He genuinely looked dead.
"Haha... alright, I am talking off the goggles. And here comes the cloth." He gently places it on the eyes. The battle scene was done. Now what was needed was to get the news out and make Dumbledore anxious.
...
Magnus made his clothes very dirty, the blood was already on him everywhere. Now it was time for a big show.
He first made Ragnar and Severus' clothes dirty too and also put some fake blood on them.
"What are you doing?" they annoyedly asked him.
He smiled, "Hehe... don't you want to be famous? Don't you want your name to appear in the papers, as someone who defeated a Basilisk? This is our moment to shine. Just do as I do and we will be famous in no time. Might even get some appreciation from the Ministry."
"What do you m... AH!" Ragnar stopped in the middle and his face also grew a big evil smile.
Severus had also guessed it and he had a smirk. Of course, who wouldn't like to be famous?
"Hehe... good thing we're on the same page. Now, Cuddles is all set up. We just need to look cool and walk to Headmaster's office. Then we will show him Cuddles and get our photo taken for Magical Daily and Daily Prophet. But need to wait for the morning." He planned.
"What if the headmaster realised the snake is not dead?" Severus asked.
Magnus shrugged, "Then I will just introduce Cuddles to him. He's not the same old crazy snake anymore. He's probably already sleeping there right now."
"Hehe, I'm liking this plan." Ragnar was feeling restless due to the excitement.
...
The three slept in the bathroom and waited for when all students head for breakfast in the morning.
Next thing, Magnus walked in the front, while Ragnar and Severus walked on his side. The three of them had messy hair, torn dirty clothes and a lot of blood here and there.
They purposefully walked through the busiest corridors. Everyone who saw them started whispering, while some boys gawked over how badass they looked, some girls eeked in shock and worry.
All the while the three were gloating inside their heads.
~It's working,~ Magnus thought.
~This is so cool.~ Ragnar though too.
Only Severus was different, ~I hope Lily sees me right now.~
