"Really, I bet it was just some illusion charm or rune." Magnus scoffed. He'd never accept this old man's attitude.
But Nicolas denied, "Illusions can be easily broken. I call what I did a simulation. I used wind and light related charms to make you two feel as if you are falling. Then I used the wind to make you slow, but because of lights and disorientation runes you felt you were falling too fast."
"Dear, let's eat now. They will be staying for a few days. We'll have enough time to talk." Perenelle Flamel said charmingly. She had the kind old grandma energy going on.
"YES! I'm hungry..." Ragnar agreed with the plan.
"Wait, let me also include them on this dinner." Magnus interrupted and took out a photo frame from his bag.
"Old Man Flamel, meet Arthur and Merlin. You two, this old man is 600 years old." Magnus introduced everyone.
Merlin and Arthur just stared at Nicolas' face. Then Merlin asked. "How?"
"Philosopher's Stone." Nicolas gave a one-word reply.
Both Arthur and Merlin nodded. Merlin replied, "I remember those stones. There was a frenzy to make them in the past, as they could make you both rich and immortal."
"Wait, you know how to make them," Magnus asked excitedly.
"I remember I knew how to make it, but don't know that now. Maybe the other one knows." Merlin replied.
Magnus sat back stumped, ~He's too grumpy and won't teach me.~
"Let's eat now, everyone." Perenelle Flamel nudged them and finally, their spoons and plates started making noise.
But as they ate, they heard Merlin and Arthur talking.
"Arthur, remember that time when I showed you the philosopher's stones and you ate one of them thinking it's sweet crystals. Haha, I still don't understand how the stone then travelled through your system and passed out of your cock.
"That stone was literally 1 inch wide. How did your pipe even squeeze it out?" Merlin wondered.
"Pain, my friend. A lot of pain." Arthur's face turned pale remembering the dark days.
"Didn't you have some spell to help me?" Arthur inquired.
Merlin nodded, "Of course I did. But I just wanted to see such a big stone being passed out naturally. It really helped me in research later on."
Arthur seethed in rage, "BASTARD, I WAS READY TO CUT MY OWN MANHOOD THAT DAY."
"But I helped you," Merlin pointed out.
Arthur roared, "Yes, by offering me a bloody PAINLESS CASTRATION WITH MAGIC!"
*Cough*
Nicolas was trying to control his laughter all this time but he finally snorted. He wanted to maintain his serious old man aura but he just failed because of these two dead men.
"So why did you not use your stones?" Nicolas asked him.
Merlin scoffed, "Huh, and turn into you? No thanks, I loved my tight skin. But I would have surely found a way to not turn old and also be immortal."
Ragnar's face lit up, "Ah, we have already found it actually. My invention, the rejuvenation potion. As long as one drinks it enough times, he won't age a day physically. So, I am sure its effects can be added to and multiplied with the Elixir of life."
Merlin proudly nodded, "Good lad, Ragnar. If you were born in my era, I would have made you my son and transferred all my knowledge to you."
"What's stopping you now?" Ragnar asked, he was not convinced by Merlin's praise.
"Because I am but an empty husk. I don't have detailed memories anymore. I only know about things existing, how, when and where is unknown to me. Surprisingly, we remember our whole lives and even its tiny little details but it's all worthless stuff." Merlin answered with self-doubt.
*BURP*
"The food was very tasty, Mrs Flamel. Thank you for the meal. Now, let's go and start studying, Mr Flamel." Magnus got up from his chair enthusiastically.
Perenelle Flamel chuckled, "Thank you, dear. You can call me Grandma actually."
She was right and Magnus also felt it. So he obliged, "Hehe, thank you, Grandma."
But Nicolas didn't get up, "Not so fast, first I need to see what you do know. A test of some sort."
Magnus was very confident in his abilities so he took him head-on, "I am okay with it, as long as no potions are involved. I am utterly bad at them. And I got Ragnar to make potions for me."
"Remind me to charge you for potions from now," Ragnar commented while still eating.
"I pay for the materials, you just need to make them." Magnus barked back.
"What about my precision and hard work? My market fees are in the hundreds, and you don't even pay me." Ragnar complained.
Magnus rolled his eyes, "Fine, I will get you the ingredients you want for free next time."
...
Nicolas brought them underground to a large area. It was a hall with walls made of steel as it seemed.
"Show me your strongest spell." Nicolas requested, more like ordered.
Magnus shrugged, "I can't. I don't even know my strongest ability because I am yet to start using Merlin's staff. But still, I am the best at fire magic."
"Umm, it's currently fiendfyre. I have trained it enough to be able to control it. But, can this place handle it?" Magnus inquired in concern as he didn't want to destroy the humble abode of this old couple.
But Nicolas had no concerns over it. "Just do it, this place is not ordinary."
"Okay then. Ragnar, you come and stand beside Mr Flamel."
Saying that he took out his wand from his pocket and chanted the spell. A small fire appeared on the tip of the wand, next he knew, it shot out like a snake coming out of its cage. In normal cases, his wand should have just exploded like a grenade, but here it didn't happen because now Magnus had learned to control the magic that went to the wand, this way he was able to make sure magic did not strain the wand too much whole spewing out the max amount of it.
The fire circled around the giant hall, taking its shape. Soon, it was clear that this was not a snake, it was a dragon-like thing with snake features. Eastern Dragon probably.
The fire was deep red in colour and looked very hot. Magical fires didn't follow the rule of normal fire, where the light colour meant hotter. Here, the darker colour of the fire meant it had more magic imbued in it.
But Magnus was not done. The fire dragon kept on getting bigger and bigger, at one point it covered everything from the ceiling to the floor, hovering in circles with him, Nicolas and Ragnar in the middle. They were already sweating. Magnus too was sweating but he was used to heat.
"Mr Flamel, if I continue my wand will break. The fire can get 10 times bigger if I continue." He warned.
Flamel had no reason to doubt his sincerity. He nodded and took out his own mysterious wand. Magnus wondered what wand this old man had because Dumbledore in the school had the so-called Elder Wand, the strongest of them all. While here this ancient man must also have something precious too.
Nicolas waved his arms in the air and the metal walls suddenly opened from places as if they were vents. Then in a few seconds, the whole Fiendfyre spell vanished with no damage.
"Where did it go?" Magnus asked. Because Fiendfyre was a fire that had a mind of its own. If the caster didn't extinguish it then the fire would continue to rage and move to create more destruction.
"Absorbed, into my magical converter, that will now use your gracious spell to power my home," Nicolas revealed.
Magnus and Ragnar's jaws fell. This was crazy.
"You mean, you have found a way to generate electricity with magic, and the electrical appliances don't fry because of magic?" Magnus asked with great interest.
"No they don't, didn't you see my television showing the pathetic news about the muggle world?" Nicolas replied as if this was a very common thing.
"Can you show me the generator? I have been trying to find a way to let electrical appliances work with magic ever since I learned magic." He requested.
"Sure, come with me," Nicolas agreed.
Magnus suspected that Nicolas was just faking this attitude and was excited to show Magnus around the house as if a child showing his prized toys. After all, Magnus was probably the only person in years who was getting such a tour from him. Due to safety reasons, he couldn't tell anyone about his various discoveries before.
After a long descent in an elevator, which went sideways too. They found themselves in a pitch-black place. Nicolas first used his wand to cast a Lumos spell, illuminating the whole lobby.
And there it was for them to see.

"The reason this place is kept dark is that whenever it gets charged it creates a lot of light and if I add more then that would blind a person. Come on, this is the core of the whole technology." He led them to a chamber where in the centre of the room a small box was resting, thousands of pipes were connected to that box and they went into the whole walls around in the hall.
"I made this conductive stone, which soaks all the magic in and converts it into rotational energy. Rotation is only done because of the shape of the stone. As magic reaches it, the stones start to create a thrust of some kind from its lighter side.
"I am using it as a large turbine of sorts, which when rotates a motor I have enchanted. The motor creates enough energy to keep the house running." Nicolas explained to him.
It was truly an amazing discovery. This also changed a lot of things for Magnus. "Can I also learn this from you?"
"As long as you can. But if you want to research the Philosopher's stone and this as well, it will take a lot more time." Nicolas warned him. But Magnus was no one to fear hard work.
Ragnar then requested, "Can we see your Philosopher's stone? I came here for that after all."
"Sure, come with me. I will show you my most prized possession, which has allowed me to collect all kinds of knowledge and riches. But, creating it also took nearly my life." Nicolas was muttering about his past that didn't make sense to Magnus and Ragnar but they silently listened.
After a while, Nicolas brought him to the room where he had kept the stone in a jar. The only use to him for it was when he created the elixir. He didn't create gold though as he had plenty.
Magnus and Ragnar's eyes were widened so big they threatened to fall out.
Magnus was the first one to get a hold of it, "You know what, I do get the feeling of wanting to eat it. But I don't want to go through what Arthur did. But licking should not be a problem."
"DON'T! The tongue is too sensitive and if touched you will get burned." Nicolas warned him.
"LET ME SEE IT TOO!" Ragnar snatched the stone from Magnus and looked at it intently.
He chuckled with his plans in his head, "Hehe, this is gorgeous. If I can use it I'm my potions, I wonder what it will create."
"Miracles, that's for sure. Alright, now study this book. We will start formal training from tomorrow. These books have now been lost. I found them buried deep under the old Library of Alexandria. The content of these is runes." Nicolas threw two books at them.
They got busy after that.
...
Later at the lunch table, Magnus asked something to Mrs Flamel.
He felt a little weird for some reason that they did not have any children in 600 years. "Umm, grandma, why did you two not have kids?"
She depressingly looked down, "Well, I guess heavens have a way to punish those who break heaven's rules. Just before we took that first Elixir of Life that would make us immortals, an old man appeared out of nowhere. He had a long beard, long hair, some kind of strange glasses on his eyes and he was smoking too. He was tall and his voice was so gentle yet earth-shattering.
"He warned us, that the price for being immortal is that we won't be able to have a child. He explained to us that we would be breaking rules by being immortal, and by doing this we could have thousands of family members, all immortal and living. It would be a danger to the world.
"We naively thought we would find a solution later, as we were young. But, we were wrong. That man was right all along."
"WAIT! Did that old man also call you my child or something like that? Did he also pat your head?" Merlin suddenly asked.
They affirmed, to which Merlin laughed, "Haha, that old man is probably still alive. I wonder who he really is."
"Did you mean... you also met him?" Nicolas asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I did. It was a long story. Anyway, you continue your story."
But Mrs Flamel instead asked Merlin and Arthur a question, "Why didn't you two have children?"
"OH! I KNOW," Magnus enthusiastically answered.
"Merlin and Arthur do not have children because they are interested in each other in all possible ways," Magnus claimed.
"WHAT?! NOOO... ABSOLUTELY NO! I loved fine wine and woman." Arthur protested first.
Magnus looked at Ragnar and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Ragnar stared at the two in the portrait and answered, "Yeah, they seem pretty gay to me ."
Magnus laughed and ate his food, "See, everyone thinks that."
But Merlin denied, "NO! We didn't have children because we were impotent due to our highly strong magic."
"Yeah, sure, whatever lets you sleep." Magnus annoyed them purposefully.
Arthur agreed with Merlin, "Yes, Magnus. We could not sire children. This was the price to pay for being powerful. Us three are not very different, Magnus... just like us, you are also impotent. This is the law of the world, strong can't be so strong that they ruin the world."
*TING*
The spoon slid down and fell on the floor from Magnus' hand. Shock visible on his face, stuck in the action he was doing before. Magnus's eyes froze, but the pupil moved frantically, processing the shock. Ragnar too was shocked, Flamel couple as well.
~Oh no, I thought the other Merlin had told him.~ Merlin panicked in his mind, realising the meaning behind Magnus' reaction.

[A/N: If you have not read the Grandpa Universe fic, then you won't understand this. Please skip it.]
[Omake with Grandpa Universe.]
Heaven,
It was a good day for the heaven dwellers. Grandpa Universe was, as always, getting an earful from his wife for not coming to dinner at the right times. But his reasoning was also good, as, at this point, he had hundreds of Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great... Grandkids. Who would play with them if not him?
*Ting Ting*
Alexander heard his self-invented heaven's only smart tablet device. It was a notification. He opened the Godsend social networking app and saw who it was.
"Hmm? Odin the all-seer? What did he send... Pfft... WHAT IS THIS? BWAHAHAHA..." He howled in laughter on the throne.
A person's soul was standing in front of him for judgement, it got so scared of hearing Alexander's laughter that it kneeled.
"Forgive me... Oh, mighty one. I will never have any bad thoughts now. I don't want any wish, I don't want any harem. Just send me to any world." The soul pleaded.
Alexander sighed, "Even after saying that you're thinking about sleeping with all the women. The only place for you is hell, son. May your soul get its atonement."
With a wave of his hand, the gate to hell opened and the soul vanished. Now alone, Alexander opened his close friend's group chat.
"Everyone, meet me at Olivia's garden for lunch. I assure you, you will die of laughter." He sent the message.
Gods were mostly bored people. So whenever they get a chance, they try to talk. So this time too all came at the correct time.
"What happened?" The Old God asked.
"First tell me where were you all this time?" Alexander asked back.
The old God chuckled, "On a date."
"You've been on a date since I took over this office," Alexander argued.
The old god folded his arms and relaxed, "Well, there are so many of them."
"And most of them are married." Hats pointed out.
But God was uncaring and replied like a saint, "Well, marriage is not the last avenue, they want to explore more and I am helping them."
*Cough*
"Let's stop talking about my horny father, he's retired now. Why did you gather us? I was busy editing my crucifixion compilation video from each universe I've ever been to." Jesus asked him.
Alexander laughed and put the tablet on the table. Currently, around the table sat Ragnarok, Dobby, Olivia, Old God, Jesus, Buddha, Iroh, Hats on Olivia's lap.
All of them peeked at the screen and a second later they reacted.
"Pfft..."
"Ahahaha..."
"Amitabha..."
Everyone had a different reaction, but all howled in laughter like crazy in the end. They looked at the face of pure Dobby, trying to imagine the same makeup on him.
"Hahaha... This... What a heavenly beauty she is." Ragnarok laughed loudly and took a sip of beer.
Dobby looked at the picture closely and said. "It's fake."
"No, it's from the alternative timeline 69420 of the prime Harry Potter Universe." Alexander cleared the doubts.
Dobby was a kind soul here. He couldn't understand why any iteration of him would like to be a servant so bad. After all, he always advocates himself as a free elf.
"Why did he do this to himself? What did he gain?" Dobby asked confusedly.
Alexander opened the control panel on the screen and showed the timeline of where it happened. They saw the whole scene happening once again.
"Haha, I like this Magnus boy." Ragnarok laughed out loud.
"He has dragon blood," Alexander revealed.
"Hah... No wonder he's so amazing. Only a dragon can be this cool." Ragnarok didn't even try to hide his bias.
Jesus patted Dobby's shoulder, "Perhaps you can do better with some feminine touch like this, my dear Sophia. I'm sure your wife will love it"
"Aw... don't bully poor Dobby like that. It's not his fault this one turned out so different." Olivia was the only one defending him.
"Have some tea and calm your mind, my friend. You need it after seeing this... creature." Iroh advised.
"ERASE IT... Some demon has taken over this Dobby. Erase the timeline." Dobby requested with a solemn expression. He was trying to keep it calm, it was obvious.
Alexander laughingly denied, "I can assure you it's not a demon. And this boy Magnus... He's doing a really good job out there. I remember projecting my image down in this timeline once... or was it twice? Let's not ruin this timeline. Maybe someday I'll see him."
*BOOM*
"Hehe... Where is my hot and sexy elf woman? WHERE?" Deadpool barged in with an excited face and his own tablet showing the Godsend app.
Dobby blankly sighed, "That Odin bastard must have posted it to his public page. *Sigh* Now I will tell his wife about all his affairs."
This means war now. Odin would lose his other eye too, it seemed.
