Chapter 177: 177. Development

[DEATH EATERS THIEVES! BASILISK'S BODY STOLEN!]

Magnus read the newspaper headline. It was another day and another breaking news. He was using his newspaper to the fullest. If the Daily Prophet was used as a tool to spread fear, Magical Daily was being used to spread the bad image of the Death Eaters and give hope to the people that these criminals were nothing but degenerates of the society.

Winter had come. His mood was also very good. Not only did he get a Basilisk as a pet, but he also found out that the Warrior Goblins had claimed a big bounty.

He appreciated that some people were taking part in all this, albeit due to their greed. He hoped that these Goblins wouldn't just stop now as there was a lot more money to be made.

November was about to end. Soon he'd be going home for the winter holidays. There was an option of staying at the school too but he'd rather go as he had work to do on the muggle side of the world too.

"Hey, Mag. I needed your help with something." Severus came to him. They were in the dorms right now. Magnus was just reading a runes book. Ragnar was also in the room, doing some experiments in the corner.

Magnus looked at his friend, "What is it, Sev?"

"I'm going to be filing a patent for a charm. It's called the Muffliato charm. Muffliato Charm is a charm used to fill the ears of any person in the vicinity of the caster with an unidentifiable buzzing sound so as to allow for conversation without being overheard. I think this will be a very popular charm in the future.

"I made it by deconstructing the Sonorus charm," Severus revealed.

This was a great achievement. How many 2nd years could say they made a spell?

Magnus quickly got up and gave a brotherly hug to him, "Severus, my brother. You are awesome. So, tell me what you plan."

"I have planned nothing, I know about patents for Potions and they are very easy to get and also enforce. But in the case of Charms, you can not enforce it as anybody can use it. All I want is credit for it." Severus explained his problems.

Magnus clapped, it was so easy to solve this problem, "Haha, don't worry, Sev. I got everything covered. 1st, you need to get this invention registered in the Hogwarts spellbook. Professor Slughorn would be happy to do that. After that, I will send a letter to the Minister of Magic, she will make sure your spell gets official recognitions.

"Once all this is done, I will get the news posted in the papers. I can't imagine how shocked people will be." Magnus planned everything and explained.

From the wall, Merlin scoffed, "Huh, what shock? They should bow to you three. You are the three dragons, the three golden boys of Slytherin, bringing it back to its previous glory."

Magnus scoffed, "A house whose head kept a murderous 1 look killer snake in the school never had any glory. What I'm doing might as well be called cleansing."

"Bwahaha... He's right, Merlin. Your house was pathetic. You yourself said that to me." Arthur voiced.

Merlin sneered at him, "That was for the students, not the house."

Magnus ignored them and talked with Severus, "Just write 2 applications for the spells. You'll get your due recognition, don't worry."

"What about the Order's recruitment?" Severus asked him.

"I have selected two people. That Hufflepuff student named Doug and that south African girl from Ravenclaw. I think we should keep the order well-diversified so our influence can reach the world." Magnus revealed his plan.

"I have also found a possible cad..."

"YES YES YES! I DID IT!" All of a sudden Ragnar started jumping.

"What did you make? A spell?" Magnus asked him.

But Ragnar excitedly came to Magnus and showed him a slate-like thing. It was decently thick but in a palm-size square shape.

"This is?" Magnus asked.

Ragnar proudly puffed his chest out, "This is the world's first solid-state battery. What do you think? Isn't this amazing?"

It took Magnus a few seconds to realise Ragnar was talking about the project Adam had started back at home. It was now stuck at the battery phase.

But this was a crazy big achievement. Magnus knew this as he had also tried to help his dad and in the process learned a thing or two about the batteries and their big companies.

"Are you sure? If this is true, you're going to revolutionise the world." Magnus praised him.

Ragnar embarrassingly smiled, "Hehe, it wasn't all me. I just did some very important experiments and debugging the problem. It was jointly made by me and dad."

"Wanna tell him right now or give him a shock in the holidays?" Magnus inquired.

Ragnar chuckled, "Actually, I was hoping to give a shock. But, I want to make a big stockpile of large batteries by then, so he can start testing the car immediately."

"We will help you in making them. Let's go to the room of requirement later today. For now, let's head to the grounds or else Emma will start eating my head for not coming to teach her flying. You too, Rag, follow me." He decided and dragged his friends out.

...

Magnus may have decided to relax a little and teach flying on brooms. His enemies were having a very bad day.

"Who stole the Basilisk? I want the truth." Bellatrix raged at the various Death Eaters.

"Calm down, Bellatrix." One small warning from the Dark Lord was enough for her. She melted in desire and fear.

"This was another ploy from that boy, the so-called dragon. He is trying to destroy the image of Death Eaters. But, he is forgetting that snakes are venomous. We are still amidst gaining power in the Ministry and the rest of magical Britain, so we don't want a full-scale war yet, but we shall start hurting their interests." Voldemort addressed his death eaters.

But, then he noticed an empty chair and felt annoyed, "Where is Antonin Dolohov?"

Rodolphus Lestrange answered, "We have not been able to talk to him, my lord. He seems to have disappeared."

"Betrayal? Find him, and if he has indeed betrayed, teach him what we do to traitors." Voldemort angrily ordered.

After that, he dismissed the meeting. Lucius then asked him as nobody was around them, "When are we going to deal with him? He's getting stronger and more famous. People have started to believe in him."

Voldemort patted his shoulder softly, "Don't worry, my most faithful student. I have started a series of plans. Next year, in his 3rd year, we will kill him, just outside Hogwarts. It will tell them, that nobody is safe, no matter where you hide."

"Who will be participating in this hit?" Lucius inquired. He was itching to kill Magnus.

"Everyone, and some of our new allies from the Forbidden Forest. Come, we need to leave. It is time to bring the giants into the fold." Voldemort said and headed out.

He had already started planning for his final push for the takeover of magical Britain. His main target was the Ministry and Dumbledore, the so-called strongest wizard. As long as he is able to do this, he can rule Magical Britain, and from there, he will focus on the muggle world.

...

Hogwarts Grounds,

"How the hell do you fly so fast, Magnus?" Emma confusedly asked while being on a broom.

Magnus chuckled, "Are you sure you're not heavier than me? I told you about the technique before, try to make yourself streamlined. I just taught you about aerodynamics."

"But, my speed is still not increasing." She complained.

"Because you're not adjusting your legs. You're too afraid of falling down. Just main yourself streamlined with respect to the broom." Magnus instructed her.

But, while they were practising, a red-haired girl also arrived with her broom. She happily asked, "Magnu, can I join too?"

Magnus looked at Lily on the ground. Well, he knew saying no would be rude. ~Let's just treat her as a friend.~

"Sure, come on up. I will teach you how to fly fast too. But first, you'll need to learn how to fly slowly," He invited her up.

But Emma was fuming after seeing this. So Magnus defused the situation, "We're all friends here, we can help each other. After that, we will do a race."

Chapter 178: 178. Test of Love

A few days later,

"How many more batteries do you want Ragnar?" Magnus asked.

Currently, they were in the Room of Requirements, where they had set up a full production line and had brought real materials from outside to manufacture the items.

"About 100 more. The more there will be, the more helpful it will be for dad." Ragnar replied.

All of them had very dirty clothes right now. The batteries were also inflammable until fully made so they had to work very hard. Still, the Solid State Battery, although still a Lithium Iron battery, was very safe. Much safer than the liquid Lithium-Ion Battery. In this, even if you were to slice it with a knife, it won't explode, while the other one would.

"Rag, have you filed for patents?" Magnus inquired,

Ragnar shrugged, "Why would I do that? That's for dad to do. His name should be on the patent and the invention before mine. I just helped him in completing the research, he started and pushed it for the most part."

"We still have 1 week, so why are we in such a hurry to make these anyway?" Severus voiced.

"Because of Magnus here, his life is so unpredictable, who knows what might happen at any time. So it's better to do it now." Ragnar reasoned.

Magnus just rolled his eyes and continued to work, he was dissatisfied but couldn't really refute what Ragnar said.

"What are you going to be doing this winter, Severus? How is your mum?" Magnus asked him.

"She's good, she has come out of her depressed persona, now she does work and is decently enjoying her life. And I have planned to spend time with her. She probably gets lonely at home, being by herself for many months." Severus planned.

Magnus and Ragnar smiled. They would have never expected something like this to come out of Severus' mouth before, but now he was a changed boy. Not being depressed and gloomy had done wonders for him.

"Well, that's good. If you want you can also come to my house anytime. But I think this is going to be a very busy winter, with Dad coming out as the Crown Prince all of a sudden." Magnus supposed, already guessing the chaos that was going to come into his life soon.

...

They made batteries till afternoon, after which Magnus headed to Dumbledore, as the old man had asked him to visit. Magnus didn't know why though.

*Knock Knock*

He entered after knocking on the door. "Good evening, professor."

The old man was sipping some tea and Magnus wondered in his head if Dumbledore even works. "Have a seat and have some mint tea. It's very tasty."

Magnus didn't act reserved and happily took a cup and asked, "So, what did you want to talk about?"

"Can't this old man have a normal talk with his great grand grand... nephew?" Dumbledore replied.

Magnus nearly choked on the tea, "Haha... You never talk to someone if you don't need to, professor. I know that. You must have a reason for asking me to come here."

There was a pause of silence from Dumbledore. "I wanted to talk to you about your school life. I have seen that you are constantly involved in things no child should. You are constantly fighting, planning and plotting.

"This is not something any child should be going through. You are a young boy, you should play, make friends and laugh. Leave all these problems to me."

Dumbledore, although seems like a good for nothing Headmaster, did care for the well-being of the students.

Deep inside, he also feels guilty because he has to focus on Voldemort and the order. Due to this, he isn't able to completely focus on school.

Magnus didn't know this. Nor did he know what was in the old man's mind. But he had his own reasons to not be sitting like a normal kid.

~The day I start acting like a kid will be the day they'll kill me.~ he thought to himself.

So he answered, "Professor, you know more than anyone the complexities of my life. If I was just the next king of Britain it wouldn't have been much of a problem. But I am also related to Merlin. And that makes many people seeth in rage, even more as I am against them.

"What will happen if they try to kill me and you are not around me to protect me? What will happen if they come to harm my family and your people not around them?

"And about having fun, I do try to play around whenever I get the opportunity. "

Dumbledore looked sadly at him. ~What was I doing when I was 12 and in Hogwarts? Dreaming... of greatness. Of power. And he has achieved all those already...~

But he was afraid that Magnus would also fall into that depression pit he had not long ago. And he had still not come out of it.

"Magnus... You can't save everyone. In the end, Voldemort will lose, because he's a man who lives in dreams. He rules with fear, and humans have a tolerance to how much fear they can feel, beyond that, their survival instincts emerge. But, in that whole process, some lives will be lost, including mine. So don't try to save everyone. Because I tried and failed." Dumbledore gave his words of wisdom.

There was silence, the atmosphere turned gloomy. The ambient noise of the room was the only thing keeping them calm. Fawkes was sleeping with his eyes closed, as were some previous headmasters in various portraits. While some were listening to them talk.

Magnus got up, proceeding to leave. But he stopped at the door and replied, "Yes, he will lose, but I'm afraid of the cost? Your life? My life? How many lives?

"I can at least work to reduce that cost."

*Door Shuts*

"I have failed as the headmaster. But I feel, I will only retire with my body in a casket." Dumbledore said to himself dejectedly, alone in his office.

...

10th December 1972

"Let's go, Rag. I have this suitcase from Newt, he told me I can keep it. Put all the batteries in it. Hell, you can even live inside it." Magnus helped his friends pack their bags.

Ragnar nodded and started stacking the 200 batteries in the case. Severus didn't have much luggage so he was also helping them.

"Oh, what is this letter for?" Severus suddenly found one on Magnus' table.

Magnus chuckled, "Hehe, you're gonna love it. I used my girlish voice and made this voice letter. Sirius will get it, it's a love letter for him. We're gonna have a lot of fun when we return to school, boys."

Ragnar laughed and Severus smiled in agreement. Indeed if this prank was successful, and they can make Sirius serious enough to start writing letters back, it'll be very fun.

"Summer, get inside your cage. Chad, you too... no, don't show me those eyes, they don't work on me. See, Summer's already in, learn something from her." Magnus packed his pets. Well, they were as good as a family now.

Once they were done packing, Magnus flicked his wand and immediately their room got cleaned and the windows got closed. All ready for them when they'd return.

They once again got on the Thestral pulled carriages and were taken to the Hogsmeade station.

The first thing Magnus did after reaching there was to secretly drop the letter in the letterbox. Then he ran to hog a cabin in the train for himself and his friends.

"Magnus, will you be coming to my home this winter?" Emma asked him.

He denied, "I will be very busy these holidays, Emma. Something big will happen, you should read the muggle newspaper every now and then. In fact, you should come to my house someday. We can play there."

This meant the world to the girl, "REALLY? It's decided then, I will come to your home. I wonder if aunty and uncle will like me."

Black lines appeared on Magnus' forehead. ~Did I just drop an axe on my foot?~

"Aye... look who it is, the great Slytherin boy." Sirius and James arrived. They were not sitting with them this time. Sirius was also going to James' home this time.

"And who is this... the detention dwellers. I knew I made the right decision to keep a distance from you or I'd always be in detention." Magnus taunted them.

James scoffed, "Huh, teachers are just biassed for you. Why is it that you got to defeat the basilisk by breaking rules in the night and still didn't get points deducted?"

Magnus smirked, "Huh, you won't understand. That's because of my charm."

"Do you mean to say Professor Slughorn or Professor McGonagall have fallen in your charm? Hahaha... fine, I guess you can only charm those old bones." Sirius barked back and laughed.

Magnus just smiled, it was his loss for now, but he'd have the last laugh soon. He just needed to wait for the letter to reach him. Oh, he just looked at James and thought about sending him one too.

~Hehe, let's see if these two so-called best friends can stand this test of a love triangle?~

*TRAIN WHISTLE*

And with that, the train moved, to send them back home.
