*BOOM*
The blast was very loud and scary. Magnus could only imagine the damage that must have occurred outside.
He turned to look at Moody, "Call Ministry Aurors quickly to organise the people in the station. I am going to take a look outside, if we can help people then we obviously should."
"We will help too, Mr Pendragon..." All of a sudden a few students came to him. Their faces looked frightened but still showed some strength hidden inside.
But, the most shocking thing was that all of these were seniors of Slytherin house. There were about 5 of them, all of them were the ones that were completely on Magnus' side of ideology.
"Us too..." A few more wizards came forward from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Magnus felt warm in his heart, this was exactly the change he wanted to see in the magical community. To come together during the hour of need.
"Brilliant. Make sure you do not break the statute of secrecy. At most, secretly use magic to lift the rubble of people who are stuck inside. If you use magic, do not worry about the Ministry coming to punish you, I will deal with them. Remember, we must save people if they are in a problem, the emergency services will take some time to reach here. Follow me." he led them out.
On his way, he saw Grace and Adam. "Ragnar, you lead mum and dad out to their cars. The muggle guards must be going crazy there."
Moody followed behind, saying he needed to oversee that everything is done subtly and they don't end up creating more trouble than helping. Emma and Severus also followed.
They went out the same way they entered. As soon as they arrived they were greeted by a few people running away while some screamed. There wasn't anything destructive, but Magnus knew that whatever happened must have happened at the main terminal and not the platforms.
"Follow me." He led everyone against the wave of people trying to run and save their lives.
Crossing a few platforms, they arrived at the main terminal. Magnus' heart shuddered to see the condition. He didn't know about the damage the bombs did but there was a huge fire ravaging the building, people screamed in fear and some in pain, some tried to jump from the upper floors of the building.
"Everyone, I am going to cast a notice-me-not charm on all of us. We will use the Aguamenti charm and summon water. But remember, our focus is not to stop the fire, instead it's to save people." He commanded and moved ahead.
At the same time, Ragnar led Grace and Adam out from the side. The MEDA wizards were along with them so Magnus had no fear for them.
They divided themselves into small squads and started to quash fire. They saved a few people on their way. The building had collapsed from some parts.
Magnus felt bad for the people. They had nothing to do with the land dispute between the two countries, yet they were the ones being hurt and losing their lives.
~If I can't force this senseless violence to stop, no company will think of investing here, and neither will the economy grow. Hmm... Good, I can use myself this time. That they attacked the royal family, as we were present here. As long as their top leaders know they messed with Merlin's descendent, I'm sure it'll have some effect.~ he thought.
There were a few people dead, crushed under the rubble. Some died in the fire. Magnus didn't let fellow students focus on the dead and instead found those still alive.
In the middle of the whole operation, Magnus disappeared for a small time. He went towards the exit of the station and continuously chanted point-me charms. He was looking for the attackers and he had a feeling they were not far away. They were most likely running away.
Magnus was already under charms so nobody would notice him. He took out his small expansion pouch that was his emergency pouch as well. He took out his broom and zoomed into the air.
Continuous point-me charms were creating a light that showed the direction. Magnus found himself following the road heading out of the city. After 4 minutes of flying at full speed, he finally saw a taxi cab moving a bit faster than the other cars. And the charm was also pointing at it and following.
~Huh, not today.~ he muttered coldly.
"ACCIO BOULDER!" He summoned a decently sized boulder. He had to use his both hands to hold it. Then he went a few metres ahead of the approaching taxi cab.
~Let's see if my time and distance calculations are good.~ He muttered and dropped the boulder. It was only 20 kilos heavy, but falling from this height would cause damage worth many times the weight.
The boulder fell, the car kept on moving. The road ahead of them was empty, so they pushed it. "Haha... we did it... mission succe...*BOOOOM*"
Nothing, nobody spoke anymore, or they couldn't. All of a sudden something fell from the sky and directly caved in the roof of the car. Inside the car were three men, but they didn't seem very good, their spines were most likely broken and bodies squished in ways unimaginable.
The drop was so hard that even the road was broken by the boulder. It was not Magnus' intention to harm them, but the 3 men sped up, causing the boulder to fall on the roof and not the engine. However, before leaving, Magnus left a note saying, "Criminals of King's Cross Blast."
Those in the police with even an ounce of backbone and brain could quickly recognise them. The whole city was looking for these attackers, and one of the leading bombers seemed to be a famous one. Magnus still called Tom and told him about this accident and their identity. Tom would now rush to the place and arrest them, taking the credit. Though it will be tough for all to explain how the boulder fell from the sky.
In the coming years, this will become one of the unsolved mysteries of the world, just like the Bermuda triangle. Though some scientists would say it came from space and some religious people would say it was a punishment from god.
Magnus had no idea what happened there after he left. The three wouldn't get away with the crime that was for sure. He returned to the station secretly and joined his friends again.
At the station, they worked for an hour, and by then the emergency responders had started to take over. Seeing this, Magnus told everyone to return to the platform. This way, they silently saved the people and left. Not even wanting to take credit for it.
Most of them were tired, with the exception of Magnus and Moody. The train had still not left yet, how could they? But a few more teachers had arrived at the station and made sure every student sat inside the train.
Professor McGonagall had arrived too, as the deputy headmistress it was her job to ensure children safely arrived at the school. When she saw the tired and dirtied students, just coming in from the magic wall, she couldn't help but secretly feel proud.
She longed to see the day when students from all four houses would come together and do something good for once.
All of them had some ash on their faces, some had their robes torn from places. This was the proof of their hard work.
"Professor, it seems the train is going to be late today." Magnus greeted her.
"It's okay, Mr Pendragon. We can use magic to reach on time... in fact, reaching an hour earlier would be wiser, since some of you may need a bath before the 1st years' sorting ceremony." She said thoughtfully.
"Actually, it'd be better if you just took us dirty ones before the rest, this way those 1st years won't have to wait too long and have their sorting ceremony lose its charm," Magnus suggested. He could already imagine a few 1st years falling asleep in the grand hall waiting for their sorting to start.
She agreed to this and organised the teachers to take the students who participated in the rescue to the school with apparition. Of course, they could not enter the school directly, they'd just appear outside it.
Magnus, Ragnar, Emma and Severus also arrived soon after. They quickly went to their dorms to bathe and get fresh. Meanwhile, the train would come a few hours later.
"HEY! Sev, what are you doing standing under the shower? It's been 10 minutes already." Magnus called him out in the shower.
Severus, as if just woke up from his sleep, looked around. He quickly washed his face and came out. "Nothing, I was just relaxing."
"Let's go then, I haven't eaten the lunchbox mum had packed for us four." He enthusiastically went to the Great Hall.
Emma also came right in time from her dorms and followed them. She was still having an adrenaline rush, "I can't believe we just became heroes. We saved people. I don't know how to explain this feeling."
Magnus chuckled, "You'll get used to it."
"Especially when you're around this bad luck charm," Ragnar added.

"Here, Sev, Rag and Emma. Taste these, mum sent them. She especially made them with her own hand. Hehe, Abe and George were scolded for helping her in the morning." Magnus nudged them. Currently, they were one of the few in the hall, as the train had not arrived yet.
"Mrs Grant made all this for me? She's so kind... Thank you." Emma happily took the box with great enthusiasm.
"WOAH... There's pizza for me, Mrs Grant packed me a pizza. How did she know this was my favourite?" Emma was already on cloud nine. The pizza had become her favourite food ever since the trip with Magnus.
"Nice, for me it's chicken." Ragnar was also satisfied.
"Severus, we didn't know what food you love the most so mum packed a little of it all. I got pancakes though." Magnus said and enjoyed the smooth buttery pancakes.
They ate heartily even before dinner started. However, Emma couldn't eat it all. "That's it, I'm done. I cannot eat more, do you guys want some?"
"Sure, give it to me. I never waste food, especially when mum made it." Magnus took her lunchbox and gobbled the food down.
But then he noticed Severus sitting silently and taking small bites, "You don't want it?"
Severus simply pushed the box towards him. Magnus happily ate that too, "Sev... You're acting different today. Is everything okay?"
Severus' heart beat fast. He was happy that Magnus at least noticed it. But he quickly tried to act normal, or else Voldemort will doubt he's acting like this purposefully.
"Rag, give me some chicken too." Magnus now had his eyes set on Ragnar's box.
"NO! These are spicy chicken, my favourite." Ragnar denied it wholeheartedly. If anybody, only Ragnar could challenge Magnus when it came to eating. It was as if Ragnar too was somewhat dragon-like.
"Come on, just one piece, I wanna taste it." Magnus was persistent.
So Ragnar tore a small 1-centimetre piece of meat and gave it to Magnus, "Go away now."
"YOU THINK I'M A DOG?" Magnus acted enraged. But Ragnar stayed calm.
"Continue, I know you're faking it so that I may agree with you. Huh, we live in the same house, Mag. I know everything about you." Ragnar smugly read him.
Magnus hissed and sat back, it was mission failed for him and he had to satisfy his taste buds with a small 1-centimetre bite of chicken. He waited for the hall to fill up. The 2nd-7th years were the first to enter and take their seats. The 1st years were going to enter next.
Everyone was ready to clap, but Magnus found himself in a very problematic situation. He held his stomach, "Dammit... I shouldn't have eaten so much. I-I gotta go..."
He got up and fast-walked out of the Great Hall through a side door. Except for a few teachers and his friends, none noticed him leaving as the hall was very noisy already.
Once out of everyone's view, he decided to make a run for it. It was a ticking time bomb for him in his belly.
"WOAAAH!... MR PENDRAGON!"
Magnus, as he was closing the door of the Great Hall, heard some gasps and awes.
He turned around, it resulted in a frown and sweat appearing on his forehead. There stood 100 small kids with sparkling eyes.
~Frick ME!... Why now?~ he internally cried.
All of the 1st year students there started to rush to Magnus to talk to him or shake his hands. But Magnus was in a pinch at the moment. He didn't want to open his mouth to speak or else he might just curse at them.
~Where the hell is Professor McGonagall?~ He looked left and right.
"Mr Pendragon, did you really defeat 15 wizards alone?"
"Mr Pendragon, are you really the richest wizard in the world?"
"Can I touch you?"
"Do you know Merlin?"
"Can I still buy Dumbledore Flavoured underwire?"
"Are there other flavours?"
"Is Princess Grace really an angel?"
They all started to ask him questions. Those muggle-born students who had no idea started to ask their newly made friends about him, and those started to enthusiastically tell them about him, but they were exaggerating it by too much, saying Magnus had killed 5 Basilisk all alone.
~On no, they have surrounded me~ he internally cried and silently took out his wand. ~I'm afraid, I will have to use my powers on these younglings.~
*WOOSH* *ZZZZ* And a lightsaber suddenly decapitated all 1st-year kids... AH! wrong universe.***
*WOOSH* A girl jumped and hugged Magnus' waist tightly. This was akin to squeezing a balloon on the verge of bursting.
"Me Pendragon, I am a big fan of yours. My big brother talks so much about you..." she chirped.
"W-Who's y-your brother?" He asked in pain and interest, a rare combination he wasn't liking experiencing.
"I am Amelia Bones, my big brother is Edgar Bones." She revealed happily. She was very proud of her brother working with Magnus.
"Oh!" Magnus exclaimed... but it was known if it was in shock or a natural accident somewhere in the pants.
*FOOTSTEPS*
"First years... please stand in line here and do not make noise. Mr Pendragon, what are you doing outside?" Finally, Professor McGonagall arrived.
To Magnus, she didn't seem any less than a heavenly angel, with a wrinkled face but still an angel, "I forgot something in my room, I'll be back in a minute." He blurted and ran away paying no attention to them.
...
The Great Hall greeted the new students with warm applause. Soon the sorting ceremony was also conducted.
"Amelia Bones... Hufflepuff!"
"Bartemius Crouch Junior... SLYTHERIN!"
The sorting was neatly done with no hat stall, meaning that there were no students this year that had talents that were compatible with all houses.
Once they all took their seats, Dumbledore took to the podium to speak. However, his eyes darted towards the Slytherin table and found Magnus missing. But he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, 1st years, and welcome back to the rest. I must acknowledge, the beginning of this year has already tensed many of you up, and it's understandable. What happened this morning at the King's Cross station was very tragic and horrifying.
"The loss of life is never easy to cope up with. So we shall have 2 minutes of silence in the name of all those who lost their lives in that tragic accident today." Dumbledore announced and turned silent.
.
.
.
After two minutes, he spoke proudly, "Despite what happened and how scary it must have been, a few of our students showed the bravery of unmatched calibre and rushed to help those in need.
"I am very proud of all of you, as I always dreamt of seeing wizards someday use magic to help without asking anything in return. Still, I would like to name everyone who participated in the rescue. First, let's start with the one who led the whole rescue, Magn... *THUD*"
Dumbledore's speech was interrupted because someone opened the Great Hall's door too loudly. But then a man ran inside in a weird fashion, he was physically challenged. Many recognised him as Professor Kettleburn. His face looked horrified and panicked.
"HEADMASTER! HELP! IN THE SCHOOL..." He cried in fear.
Dumbledore calmly asked, "What happened? Breathe, Professor Kettleburn, and answer clearly."
"THERE'S A CHIMAERA IS ON THE LOOSE!"
Bang, all those who knew what this creature meant panicked and started screaming.
"SILENCE! CALM DOWN. As long as everyone is here you will be safe, all the teachers are here to secure the area." Dumbledore took over the situation.
He turned to look at the teacher and silently nodded. They took the cue and went to each entrance of the Great Hall to guard it.
*BAM*
But just then, with a loud thud, the main door was pushed open.
"ROOOOAR..." The ear-shattering roar resounded.
...
10 minutes ago,
"Ah... I bet it was the chicken. I should've stuck to pancakes." Magnus was loosening himself in the restroom. It was on the 1st floor not too far away from the Great Hall.
"I should hurry up, can't miss the whole ceremony. I need to keep a high reputation so more of the new students follow me. I wonder who will join Slytherin though." He was busy with his thoughts.
*Knock Knock*
All of a sudden someone heavily knocked on the door of his stall.
Annoyedly, Magnus barked, "Hey, this is occupied. And there are 10 more stalls."
*Knock Knock*
"Come on, let me take the call of nature in peace."
*BAM BAM BAM*
"THAT'S IT, I'M COMING OUT." He angrily finished, flushed and opened the door.
But he immediately took a few steps back and a frown with sweat appeared on his face. Alongside, his wand appeared in one hand and a sword in the other.
"Oh, what a cute... CHIMAERA?!"
