Chapter 242: 242. Mourning

"So what properties are you interested in, Mr Armstrong?" Michael finally got to the point and spoke respectfully, instead of talking in his Godfather persona.

Bobby put down a map, "Well, these were requests from Magnus. He wants to buy this whole dock section that the Bonanno family currently runs. They don't use it for anything except smuggling drugs and weapons. Now, I can simply deal with the whole gang, involve the police too. But, it will then take too long.

"Then we wanted to buy this whole warehouse and land in the industrial area, which is owned and run by the Gambino family. They mainly use it to store their counterfeit goods.

"Then Genovese family that owns this whole block of the street. I want it. It will be turned into the most luxurious location to live in.

"Lastly, I also want to buy around 127 shops, large and small that you all own combined." Bobby put forward the request. He was planning to use these shops and open FutureTek stores later. There could also be other stores belonging to countless other consumer-based companies that he or Magnus owned.

Michael, meanwhile, was gobsmacked after hearing the request. He started this meeting hoping the deal would be about a few plots or houses, but here these men were after the whole city.

"Umm... I am afraid this much we can not do, Mr Armstrong, you need to understand that even my hands are tied. If I come after their interests then they would kill me." Michael nervously said.

"Come on, they are going to kill you anyway. Do you really think you can live a legitimate life and still rule over the 5 families? The moment they realise you are using your legitimate money to strengthen your mob family they will strike.

"Besides, I am not asking you all to sell me, I am giving you an offer, a ticket to exist for a little longer," Bobby said nonchalantly. He was dealing with a Mob boss of bosses, of course, he was not going to be a good little boy and just ask. He was going to push and if need be break some people. The business world had taught him enough, but that's actually much worse because, in the business world, you never find out who even hit you and you just lose everything.

Michael and Harrison completely understood the meaning behind the words. This was a simple and open warning or a threat to them. Sell him what he wants or he will wipe them off.

But Michael tried to instil some fear in Bobby, he was not a Godfather for nothing, "Are you ready to let your men die for this? Just for this property?"

"HAHAHA... that was a good joke." Harvey laughed suddenly. "Do you really think you will be able to fight an army of wizards who came prepared to fight muggles armed with guns? No matter what you throw, grenades or bullets, nothing will hurt us. And as Mr Armstrong said, your time will be up."

"Is it coming from you or MEDA?" Harrison questioned in a scornful voice.

Bobby replied this time, "No, this was a direct threat from Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon. You know, some of you might actually survive if it was just us who came after you. But, once I tell him you all rejected his deal, he will come personally and let me tell you, not even wizards can stand against him, what are a few men with guns?"

Arrogant, crazy and most likely narcissistic. That's what Michael and Harrison thought about Bobby and Magnus. But, they truly felt terrified thinking about it.

Only Michael knew about the power of a wizard as he had seen it in the war. The Japanese used strange weapons, their katana swords were somehow blocking bullets and cutting people like a hot knife on butter. Only after he became the Godfather and found out about the magical world did everything start making sense.

The two gulped their saliva and looked at each other.

Bobby for the last time spoke, "Look, the golden age of Mob is coming to an end. In the near future, there will be no places for people like you and mob families. Then you will all be nothing but wanted criminals, hated by society. This is your chance, grab my hand and I will pull you out of the gutter, or keep mingling with the sewer rats and I'll just watch you get washed away with the filth of the city."

The double meaning was well understood by Michael. If he kept close with bad work and other families, he'll get purged along with them when the push comes.

Michael nodded with a sigh, "I can try, but can't guarantee. I will try to persuade the other families but it's entirely their wish if they want to sell it or not."

"Just tell them what I told you today. If they reject. Sooner than later, we will come after everything they own. The current government administration may be weak and worthless but that won't always be the case. Anyway, it was nice meeting you, Mr Corleone. We can discuss your benefits after you persuade the families. Until then, take care." Bobby waved his hand and proceeded to leave.

...

They came down from the building and boarded the car. He completely laid back quickly, relaxing himself.

"Sir, would his majesty really have come?" Harvey asked in the car, it was clear by now he was a fan.

Bobby chuckled and answered, "Hehe... I just played a game with them. Magnus never told me about fighting a war, I was just using his name to threaten them. But, he would have surely come to wipe them off, he hates all the gangsters ever since that Oscar child kidnapper incident. He hates all things related to organised crime.

"This time, he has given them one last chance. By taking away their property, he will be taking away their revenue stream, crippling the families. Then the police will push in and get them all. All families like Coreleon, if they truly take up the good legitimate path, they will be spared."

"But sir, won't buying land from them would also be like giving them cash to expand their illegal operations," Harvey pointed out.

Bobby smirked, "Hah, for this, Magnus did tell me a plan. He said the money will reach each family, but it will be charmed to be a portkey."

Harvey and Daniel had their eyes widened. They were truly crippling the Mafia.

...

Magnus' Mansion,

"AAACHOOO... Argh... who talking about me now? CHAD? ARE YOU CURSING ME?" Magnus asked the smart-looking cat, sitting by the window and looking outside.

Chad confusedly shook his head. He raised his paws and pointed at Ragnar, who was sleeping on a couch. Magnus nodded, "Yeah, he's probably having some stupid dream."

"HORRR..." Summer flew in with a letter. She probably intercepted it from another owl.

Magnus opened it, it was from Rita Skeeter. "Your Majesty, I would like to go to the United States and see what people think and feel about you. Umm... can I have some funds to go there?"

Magnus agreed with her decision. He needs to become Mr Worldwide if he wants fan-following everywhere. So he wrote a reply, "The accountant will contact you soon. Go to France, Japan and Russia too."

The last day was coming. His holidays were very amazing this year. He got to meet Nicolas, learn so many new things and many more. He loved it. But, good things never last forever.

*Sigh*

...

The next day, when Magnus came to the breakfast hall, he saw Ragnar dressed in neat and clean clothes, his hair neatly combed as well. This was rare.

"Where are you going today?" Magnus asked.

Ragnar calmly replied, "Somewhere very important."

Magnus immediately had some ideas. He looked at Ragnar's face and felt something, ~This bastard. He's still hiding his emotions.~

"I will go with you then. Got nothing to do anyway. Chad, you can come with us as well." he decided and quickly went to his room to get ready.

Ragnar didn't reject it and just ate his breakfast silently.

...

An hour later,

Magnus and Ragnar arrived at a small garden behind a very large building. The building looked old but was still neatly maintained.

"I used to play on that tree when I was small. It used to grow apples on them, magically forced, so now it's nearly dead." Ragnar gave a small tour of the property.

Magnus could feel a hint of melancholy in his voice. It was depressing but Magnus couldn't do anything about it, as this was something Ragnar would have to do himself. But his mental scars might not heal until Ragnar has avenged his family.

After a while, they came to a corner of the garden. There were about 20 big and beautiful marble tombstones. Ragnar went to put flowers in front of each of them. His eyes were dark and sad at the moment, only the whistling of air was telling them they were not standing in a silent room.

Magnus followed his brother around the garden, he read the names on each tombstone. And all 20 of them had one thing in common, they all had the surname "Oroborus."

Ragnar at last came in front of one tombstone and silently sat down in front of it. This was... his mother's tombstone.

Magnus did the same. If Grace can be Ragnar's mother then Ragnar's mother was also his mother. And he will also get them avenged.

The two brothers silently sat there, nobody knew what they thought, but the two had one thing in mind, that to avenge the family, and many wars still needed to be fought. For how long will these peaceful days go on? Nobody knew.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS

1 Stone = 1 Cheer-up Banana. [Effect: Makes even a dead man happy.]

Chapter 243: 243. O Cat God, bless these humans.

The wind blew over, gently touching their faces... also Chad's fur. They sat in front of the tombstone with the name of a woman written on it. There was also a photo, belonging to Ragnar's mother.

To Magnus, she looked very similar to his own mother, kind and gentle. The perfect mother any child could ever ask for. But what Ragnar got was the nightmares of a lifetime. Having seen his own mother being beaten... being nearly rap... while being powerless and helpless. Just thinking about it made his blood boil, he couldn't imagine what Ragnar must feel like.

Magnus and Severus both agreed on one thing, that Ragnar's pain was much more than either of them could ever imagine. It's one thing to try to imagine what he's going through and another really being the person in pain.

So Magnus just tries to be the best brother possible. After all, he wanted to face Ragnar's mother proudly when he saw her in heaven.

Ragnar, who had been sitting silently for a few minutes finally spoke, "I don't know if I should curse you or thank you, you taught me Occlumency and now I remember even the tiny insect I stomped on when I was 4."

Magnus didn't know whether to laugh or look sad. "I told you before I taught you. This is a double-edged sword."

"Yes, it is. I hope someday... I will be able to permanently etch the dying screams of Rodolphus Lestrange in my memories. Only then will my mind be at ease," Ragnar said, sounding really dangerous.

Magnus supported him though, "And as I told you before, no matter who catches him, you will get Rodolphus alive. You will be the one to kill him."

After all, Magnus had even posted a wanted poster with the words "ONLY ALIVE" and it had the highest reward, a full whopping 1 million galleons. This much money could shoot up any ordinary wizard into the ranks of one of the richest in the world.

Of course, the money was this much because the difficulty of the mission was too high. Even with one hand missing, Rodolphus was very dangerous. More dangerous were the dogs(dark wizards) he kept himself surrounded by.

"Sometimes, I wonder if God is real. Why does he let innocent people suffer? My mum was the kindest person, just like our mother. She didn't deserve it, Mag, she didn't deserve all that pain." Ragnar wondered, having a confused face and looking at the sky.

Magnus had no idea, he was a mortal too after all. "If I ever meet him, I'll ask."

"Me too. I hope it's a reason that can satisfy me. I don't want to hear some crap that these church priests blurt, that pain and hardship are god's blessings and tests. What parent lets his children be tortured and murdered for no reason at all?" Ragnar angrily said.

~So this was why he was going to the churches. Maybe I should go and give a visit to sister Mary at the orphanage too. Maybe she can give a better answer.~ Magnus planned.

"Meow?" Chad suddenly made some noise.

Magnus turned to him. Chad was pointing at the photo. "Yes Chad, she's Ragnar's mother. She's no longer with us. You should join your hands and pray for her."

Chad nodded and dutifully walked closer to the tombstone on his fluffy paws. Then, he stood up on his hind legs in a smooth motion, supported by his tail. He joined his two front paws together and prayed seriously.

"Meow... Mwa Mewoo..."

They didn't know what Chad was saying, but it was probably something good. The cat had shown more intelligence in these years than many death eaters they had met.

Ragnar chuckled and caressed Chad's head, "Let's hope your prayers reach the Cat God and he listens to you."

Just as they were talking, out of nowhere a small butterfly came fluttering its wings and sat down on Chad's nose. Chad with big sparkly eyes stared at the butterfly calmly.

"He looks like some kind of an angel right now... beloved of nature, haha..." Ragnar laughingly said.

Magnus chuckled, "No, he's just being a good boy because he's under punishment. He will always be our crazy Chad."

"Let's go back." Ragnar stood up.

Magnus followed behind without saying anything. "So, any plans for this school year? We'll be in our third year. We will have a lot of free time since we have already studied for the next few years. I am personally excited about the Care of Magical Creatures class."

"Huh, but we have the most incompetent teachers for it. Professor Silvanus Kettleburn has already lost an arm and a leg, who knows when he will lose the rest." Ragnar scorned. He had read about the teacher, because of him many students have gotten injured and disfigured, some permanently.

"Oh, don't worry, I will straighten him up. Honestly, I am better with animals than humans. Right, CHAD?" Magnus asked the cat sitting on his shoulder.

"Meow..." Chad affirmed.

"He will even worship Satan at this point, Chad's opinion does not matter." Ragnar outright rejected Chad's voting rights.

But he continued, "And I am not interested in anything except making a potion that can enhance one's physical pain many times. That would make one's body so sensitive that even a tickle would feel like a sword stab." Ragnar planned, coldness awash in his eyes.

Magnus nodded in agreement, "Wanna use it on that animal? Hmm, that's a good idea. Might as well use it on their favourite dark lord later. He deserves all the pain we can give him."

"By the way, Mag, I have also registered a company in the Ministry of Magic. It's called Magipotio, literally meaning Magic Potion, with Potio being Latin for 'potion'. I will use those automated production line systems to mass-produce the potions." Ragnar told him about his plan. No matter what, most people trusted Magnus' business and money-making sense.

Magnus was delighted with the news. The potion market was a market that was very scarcely ventured in. "That's good, but Rag, don't forget that real money is in the muggle world. The world population is 3.9 Billion. While wizards are just a few millions. So, I recommend you open a muggle branch too. Sell products there also."

"But what product? Won't magical items be too common-sense defying? I mean, we can regrow bones with potions." Ragnar asked.

"My Brother Ragnar, you should learn and understand the muggle world more. You don't need to be heaven-defying to be successful. As long as your products are better than others, you will win. You can create a toned down, diluted version of potions. Potions such as the erection potion, or maybe make a scar removal cream that takes at least 3 months to remove skin scars. It will be a hit. Learn about the muggle market and create potions better than items already available, though I hope you don't try to compete with my own company." Magnus suggested him in detail. His mind was always filled with ideas, but he couldn't implement all of them as he had limited energy, but he could always advise others.

Ragnar felt very inspired by this, "All right then, I will open a company in the Muggle world too."

...

When Magnus arrived back home, a person from Tonks & Tonks was waiting for him. He was the assistant of Ted. Magnus invited him.

"Sir, we have investigated that communist case. Chairman Ted sent me here to tell you about it." The man started.

Magnus alertly listened. He had no idea why they came to him, but it must be important if they can't deal with it. "We were allowed to meet the secretly jailed Captain. He was brutally tortured, but we ignored that bit. However, the captain informed us that he was framed by his senior, a high ranking General.

"So, as per the protocol, we hired MEDA to do some digging. They found hard evidence that pointed out that the General was really selling information to the Soviets. The method was a bit strange. The General is a noble lord. He has relations with a few more noble families across Europe, and one family in the Soviet Union, that is not nobility anymore but still powerful in the Soviet leadership.

"The General shared everything from the location of our troops, our secret bases, assets hidden in the Soviet Union, and some of our spies too. And you won't like this. Just after he gave them two spy names, the two were found dead. They had gone to participate in a sports championship there originally in disguise.

"Later, some of General's calls were mistakenly heard by the Captain, but he was immediately arrested and blamed for espionage." the lawyer explained.

Magnus sighed and laid back on the couch. "*Sigh* Seriously, the worst enemy of a country is often found inside the country. A general, a noble on that. Well, I guess the media is going to have a field day soon. However, I recommend you do not reveal it to anyone. I will talk to the prime minister myself. He will take the evidence himself and forward it to the highest concerned authority of the Ministry of Defence."

"Yes sir, we knew this thing is out of our scope of powers, that's why we contacted you." The Lawyer respectfully left after handing over all the evidence they had collected.

Magnus soon picked up his phone and called the Prime Minister. But, he had another plan. It was time his news channels and agencies under the umbrella of Warner Brothers soared to the skies. With the most exclusive news of the day.
