37.1% Harry Potter: Blood of the Dragon[COMPLETE] / Chapter 187: 187. 2nd In Line

Chapter 187: 187. 2nd In Line

The Queen started speaking in the mic. "Since the past few months, as you may know, I have been visiting that mansion.

"There is a reason for that. First of all, let me tell you who this is, he is Adam Grant. My eldest son, born as a twin to Charles, 1 minute before him."

[A/N: Ignore the Queen's age. If we go by the real world then it's not possible for her to have a grandson as big as Magnus.]

Everything went silent in an instant. No journalist uttered a single word as everyone processed the implications of what she just said.

.

.

.

*BOOM*

As if the world exploded, the camera shutters started sounding like crazy. But all the journalists maintained their decorum as they were supposed to be in the presence of the queen and not some politician.

"I will tell you everything about what has happened in our lives so no pointless rumours arise. When Adam was born, there were some complications. His neck had been caught up in the umbilical cord, making him suffocate a little."

Adam's eyes twitched when he heard that. He wasn't told about this part of the story.

"After the complicated birth, the doctors warned that there could be health problems while growing up. There was a risk that his body would stay frail. So, it was decided by the family that we would keep him away from the always on-focus life of the family.

"While growing up, in the beginning, he used to be sick and weak, so he spent all his time studying, but he had the determination to get better. So he never stopped taking the important supplements and exercising.

"Slowly, he started getting better, but then he wanted to do something for his country and joined the army. Where he slowly rose through the ranks and is now a Brigadier and handles the Engineering Development Research branch.

"During his college days, I tried to get him to return to the family, so I could announce him to the world. But he refused because he wanted to focus on his research, the research he was doing on this battery and the car. He said he would only return after he was successful.

"And after so many years, I finally got the news that he is closer to success than ever. So I started visiting him officially.

"And today was the day we decided to officially announce his return.

But let me introduce you to the whole family. This is my extremely talented daughter-in-law, Lady Grace Grant Pendragon. You may not know, but she is directly related to the legendary King Arthur Pendragon."

Everyone gasped hearing this, the cameras again became active.

The queen then turned to look at Magnus. "This is my grandson, Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon. A wonderfully smart boy, most of you already know about his many brave deeds. Then there is my other grandson, Ragnar Grant Ulrik Oroborus. From now on, they will hold the rank of princess and prince.

"I'm quite sure many of you have some questions. Please ask them orderly." She stopped speaking.

They had already planted some hired journalists who were supposed to ask the questions they wanted.

"Who will be the next heir to the Throne now?" One man asked.

The queen again picked up the mic and answered, "For exactly this reason, and to not create any rifts, I have suggested the Parliament to consider a new succession law. Which will allow me to choose the next best-suited heir, instead of the direct eldest son.

"But, the heir must be an immediate member of my family. This will ensure no confusion arises later."

But she failed to mention that a new abdication law will also be passed.

They didn't answer any more questions and just headed into the palace. More information will be published by official means later.

Magnus and Ragnar walked behind their parents.

"She should write a fictional story or something. Or maybe act in the movies. Her words seemed so real." Ragnar said.

Magnus chuckled, "She was probably planning for this for a long time now. At least now I'm 2nd in line to the throne."

"Hehe, I'm a prince too." Ragnar gleamed.

Magnus followed wherever they were being taken.

"Ah, I remember these corridors when I came here to steal Arthur's painting. Those were the days. Hehe, Bobby was with me that day, he was nervous as hell." Magnus reminisced.

"Stop acting like you're an old man. Let's go and see the whole castle, now we have the authority to do so, and who's going to stop you?" Ragnar suggested and dragged Magnus around.

They wandered around the whole palace, there were just too many rooms. Each having some designated purpose, though those purposes were useless ones. Why do you need 3 different rooms to drink tea?

Other than this, there were rooms to live in. The Queen's was the best one, it had too much gold, utensils, windows handles, engravings on the ceiling. Magnus loved it.

~I must customise my room too.~ He thought.

They then headed to the next room and Ragnar opened the door. *BAM*

The door bumped into someone inside.

"AAAH... WHO IS IT! ARE YOU BLIND?" A young boy's voice came.

Magnus pulled Ragnar back and slowly opened the door. There turned out to be a boy. From what Magnus knew, this was supposed to be the third child of the queen, and he was as young as him.

"Sorry. But the door was closed, we don't have x-ray eyes to see inside," Magnus replied. From the tone of the boy, he was getting a feeling that this boy was going to be a cocky spoiled kid.

"Is that how you talk with the future king? Know your manners before you step here, and who even let you in?" the boy, as expected, cockily spoke.

"Pfft... king? You are 9th in the line of succession, oh wait, now you are the 13th because I am now 2nd." Magnus revealed.

The young boy, in shock, took a few steps back. "IT'S YOU! Mother told me about you, how you are some kind of a genius. She never stops talking about you, and you have been the reason for my life's misery."

Magnus scratched his head, "What are you talking about? I just met you today."

"I know, but she always tells me to study and become great, achieve something good. Did you know, I have been studying for 6 hours every day," he complained.

"But 6 hours is very normal. Your school itself takes 6 hours." Magnus pointed out.

"DOESN'T MATTER. I am a royal, I don't have to do all this. I don't have to study 10 hours a day. If I want something, I can just tell the butler. It's not like I lack money." the boy replied.

Magnus just sighed, "Well, I only have one piece of advice. Do study as much as you can, you will need it more than money in the future. Let's go, Rag."

As they came a distance away, Ragnar laughed, "Haha... he's gonna get shocked when you become the king and he suddenly stops receiving pocket money."

"He sure is very pampered, no wonder the people are losing faith from the monarchy. What have they even done in the past hundred years that can be considered inspiring?" Magnus muttered.

"Well, they believe that their existence should be inspiring enough," Ragnar replied.

Magnus shook his head, "That was in the past when peasants used to get happy when their king would just talk to them. But now it is different, they see the monarchy as a leach that is sucking their tax money, money which could have been used somewhere better instead of organising royal parties."

"They've got their saviour now, I guess. Let's go, it's not good to leave mum and dad alone for too long." Ragnar suggested.

Magnus agreed. He'd rather not have his parents be forced into senseless politics. They were people of science and should focus on just that.

Soon, they arrived at a hall, it was one of many, he didn't know what use was this though. There, he saw the 2nd child of the queen, her daughter. She was 22, old enough not to buy the whole story the queen told.

She was also one of the people who was made to believe in everything. The queen agreed to it and it was done right in front of her.

"Let's go home, mum, dad," Magnus voiced.

"Granny Liz, we will return tomorrow with our luggage. But we might not always live here, and our mansion will be the main residence." Magnus informed everyone.

"Just be careful, dear. Many people will try to talk to you now. The security of your home should not be a problem anymore. But the safety of Grace and Adam will be the army's job now. They will provide you two with 3 bulletproof cars. Let's not forget, you two are not just royals, but also lead scientists of this country in your respective field." The Queen said at length.

Magnus had started to slightly trust her now. From the account of her son earlier, she really admired him it seemed.

"Bye-bye then, Granny. See you tomorrow." Magnus and Ragnar waved and left in the car they came.

Chapter 188: 188. Bumper Harvest

"Phew... that was exhausting. Why are there so many people gathered outside our house? When will they leave?" Grace muttered as she relaxed on the sofa.

Adam walked behind her and started to massage her shoulder. "My dear wife, get used to it. Don't forget, all this will double when Magnus takes the throne and continues to create miracles."

Magnus smiled and laid down on the sofa beside Grace, putting his head on her lap. "Don't worry, mum. Our lives won't be disturbed."

*THUD*

Ragnar also laid down on her other side and put his head on the other lap. "Yes, we are Wizards after all."

She smiled and pulled their cheeks, "Of course, I got my two little naughty witches."

Magnus jokingly cried, "Aaaa... mummy, if you want a girl so much then why don't you give me a little cute sister? Just like that Ava."

Grace blushed.

Ragnar also spoke in favour, "Yes yes, I will cherish her with all my life. My cute little sister."

"Hun-hun..." Magnus nodded profusely.

Meanwhile, Adam continued to massage Grace's shoulder, but he looked at his sons with a grateful expression. ~My sweet sons, you are the best.~

He always wanted a little daughter he could dote on. But Grace never agreed to another child, because they were busy.

Grace ignored their talks and silently went to the kitchen, telling them that she needed to cook. This was always her reaction when she didn't have answers.

They had a sumptuous dinner that night and went to sleep in their rooms.

...

3 AM,

Magnus and his family were asleep in their warm comfy beds in the chilling winter. Everyone was in their dreamlands.

But, some sad wizards had come to kidnap the only person they should not. They had come all the way from Japan, on this intense mission.

For this mission, they had prepared very well. First of all, they got the plans for the whole house from the public works department. They silently kept an eye on the house and figured out where Magnus sleeps at night.

Once they had confirmed all this, they decided to proceed with the kidnapping. They were confident in their skills, as they were internationally renowned for their secret assassination, kidnapping and espionage work.

The 5 member team surrounded the whole location first and put muggle repellant charm so that nobody could call the police while they were busy.

Then they made the muggle security fall unconscious. Now, to them, the whole path was clear.

The 5 of them regrouped and arrived on the balcony of Magnus' room.

"Where is the portkey? We will go back to Japan with the kid. His fate will be decided by the ones who hired us then." Their team leader briefed the team first.

As everyone nodded, they proceeded to open the glass door.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

Like thieves being caught by the police. They looked back in shock and wands out. But their arms just fell down.

There were about 20 wizards, all had their wands out and pointed at them. There were 3 wizards for each attacker. They were heavily outnumbered.

Their minds were unable to comprehend why there were so many Wizards here, what was so special inside this house?

What they didn't know was that they were under the radar ever since they arrived here. But because they didn't do anything nobody bothered. Though it was still reported to the ministry and they increased the number of Wizards.

"Put the wands on the ground, or the next thing you will see will be fireworks from our wands."

The 5 Wizards slowly put their wands down. They didn't want to die for a kidnapping mission. They may be Japanese, but they didn't carry the stupid honour that glorifies committing suicide.

Besides, they were Wizards. The wizarding government of Japan wouldn't let anything happen to them as Wizards were very important for any country since not many are born.

At least this was what they thought until the reason for their arrest was read to them.

"You are hereby under arrest for attempting to kidnap his Majesty, Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon, lord of the most ancient house of Emrys and the heir to King Arthur Pendragon. He's also a member of the Wizengamot, this makes your attempted kidnapping an attack on the British Wizarding government."

As soon as they heard this, their bodies became cold, and they started sweating.

*DOOR OPENS*

Magnus appeared from inside his room, rubbing his eyes. "What happened? Why so much noise?"

"Your Majesty, these 5 men came here to kidnap you'" the auror informed him.

Magnus, as if heard the biggest joke of the century, laughed. Then he looked at the 5 men under restraint.

"Are you stupid? Kidnap me? Hell, you can't even kidnap my pet cat. And he's FAT!." Magnus said loudly.

The 5 started to plead for forgiveness. But Magnus just yawned, "The Ministry will handle you. Since you dared to commit a crime in magical Britain, against the royal family, they have the authority to kill you. But I will be gracious enough to let you go alive, of course, after chopping your hands so you don't ever hold a wand. Now, I need to go back to my beauty sleep."

*BAM*

Magnus loudly closed the door and went back to dreamland. The Aurors were a bit taken aback. The punishment Magnus just gave was not much different from death for a wizard.

...

Next Morning,

*Yawn*

"What's the matter, sweetie, didn't you sleep last night?" Grace asked Magnus as he arrived at the dining room.

"No, mum. Just some unpleasant dreams and mosquitoes. What about you? Didn't you sleep? Why are there dark circles under your eyes?" Magnus asked her in confusion.

But Grace blushed instead, "It's nothing, it goes and comes. Oh, did you read that news? The new giant hospital near Richmond Park has just completed its main construction, and it will be open by this time next year. I wonder if I can work there if I take retirement."

~Mum, you will own the hospital.~ Magnus said to himself. He couldn't wait to surprise Grace when it's complete.

"Sure, any hospital that has you will be lucky. And mum, I will be going to the Ministry of Magic, have some important work to do there. Will you be going to work?" Magnus asked.

"I will," Grace replied.

"I won't, I was given leave from work to perfect my car and test the battery," Adam said.

"Okay then, be safe, mum. Bye Bye, I will be going." Magnus finished eating and asked George to drop him off at the Ministry.

...

Ministry of Magic, Underground Prison,

"So, why did they try to kidnap me?" Magnus arrived and asked. The five wizards were now nearly naked, except their underwears. They were held in the air with magic.

"Here, they are members of the Japanese Yakuza. They were hired to kidnap you to put pressure on your father, so he will release the patents for some... battery?" The auror in charge explained, though he had no clue what this battery was. He had never heard of such a magical artefact.

As soon as this was spoken, Ragnar laughed madly, "AHAHAHA... oh god, whoever hired them sure doesn't love their money,"

He was right, they were going to regret it. Magnus was known to extort money from those who did him wrong. And these people tried to invade his dear home. They will have to pay big money. It was going to be a bumper harvest.

...

The next day,

On the desks of the CEOs of the 4 companies, a paper was found. It didn't have much written on it, there were just the details of a Gringotts account and 20,000,000(115,352,746 today) pounds number and some words which said, "MY MONEY WHERE?"

They had gotten the information from the Ministry of Magic of Japan by now. They were scolded by them for trying to plot against the descendant of Merlin.

They felt like bashing their heads on the wall now, but it was too late. They knew that along with signing the cheque to give the money, they would also have to sign their resignation letter.

Meanwhile, Magnus just made 80,000,000 pounds. He could have asked for more but he didn't want to destroy relations with these companies as he needed to do business with them later. Now, with this much amount, they will feel regret and not anger.

...

The reaction of the people was mixed when it came to the Queen's announcement. But overall it was all very positive.

On one side, there were hardcore Monarchy supporters, who cried for the queen and all the pain she had to suffer. They sympathised with Adam and wholeheartedly welcomed him into the royal family. They were probably just happy that the new prince was super smart and a great inventor. Now they could boast around why the Monarchy was the best.

Then on the other side, there were neutral people, who didn't care much about the crown. But they still supported Adam, wanting him to be the crown prince because he was smart and a man of science. They demanded that the tax money they spend on parties be given to Adam so he may create something good out of it.

The only opposition was from some ultra haters of the crown, who would rather see Buckingham Palace burn to ashes than it become the new centre for innovation and the nation's development.

But, in all this, the media was playing a big narrative control role. They were constantly making everyone remember the achievements of Magnus, Adam and Grace. This was being pushed by Queen's office herself.

Only Ragnar was left out as he had his achievements in the Magical world so he couldn't have fame yet.

Magnus even made the news channels take Bobby's name, telling everyone that they were best friends. This will help Bobby and the Futuretek company.

But the toughest phase was yet to come when Magnus would take the throne at the age of just 18. He would need to create a good image for himself before that happens.

~Hmm, what can blow people's minds and make me famous?~ He wondered in his spare time during the holidays.
