Nobody knew what had happened to Narcissa, and nobody really cared. Not her family, not her sister. Magnus was busy with his own things and had no time to even think about her.
But even if he knew it at this point, he had no reason to help her by going out of his way. She was not Narcissa Black now. She was Narcissa Malfoy.
In Hogwarts, these days were like festivals every day. Because Magnus was training the Hogwarts team, all of them would get really hungry by dinner, and for that Dumbledore made sure good food was provided in dinner. Not just that, after Magnus announced the party on Halloween night, all were excited. They started planning for their scary costumes.
The muggle-borns were the most creative while others didn't have much contact with scary beings other than a few magical ones. They didn't have movies or comics after all.
Magnus was still arming himself to teeth and making plans on how to inflict as much damage on Death Eaters as possible.
He guessed that most likely Voldemort didn't know that he knew about his plan. So Voldemort would be overconfident, expecting no resistance. But he will be coming up with plans.
...
15th October,
Magnus and Ragnar were successful in creating the Boggart artefact. A new invention that was meant to be kept as a secret. After all, if people knew such artefacts could be made nobody would take their fears seriously.
What they made was a locket with a seal on it. It had something like a shutter on it that could be opened by the owner's intent. (Imagine Eye of agamotto but with a Boggart instead of Time Stone.)
"You know what, we should go ahead and try this on a few people and see if it works," Ragnar suggested. Now, sure they knew it worked, they were just being slimy bastards.
So they went out to the hallway from where most students would go to their different classrooms. They waited there for a while for the classes to end and the hall to get swarmed by people.
"Okay, rules, one, let's not become someone's bad memory. We don't want a kid to remember his dead dog or anyone. Second, if we see someone being too scared to the point they would pass out we would stop." Magnus quickly laid out some rules.
Ragnar wholeheartedly agreed with them, "Yes, let's do that. Oh, they're coming."
Their biggest targets were the Gang of Slytherin members. Magnus and Ragnar would not show them any mercy at all.
"AAAAAA..." Soon the first scream came as a girl saw Magnus as a snake. Surprisingly, a lot of people in all houses except Slytherin were afraid of snakes. The girls took the majority in that ranking.
The boys, though, were scared of various different things. Ranging from clowns to their mother and even puppies. Seriously, who fears puppies? Magnus wanted to see in that guy's head to see what made him like this but he stopped himself.
Eventually, he found his first target. Mulciber II, aka the pervert of Slytherin. He was in 4th year right now and has a reputation for harassing girls and trying to touch them. Of course, he was sent to detention many times but nothing changed. Suspending students was not his authority and the board of governors were incompetent.
Magnus wanted to see what it was that scared the boy. So he went ahead stood on the side, in the way of his path. All that was needed was that he sees him.
And what happened next shocked him. Mulciber II ran away like no tomorrow, he didn't look back and screamed the whole way "NO UNCLE!". Magnus was confused because he was just looking like some random old man, nothing even scary.
A distance from Magnus, Ragnar was busy terrifying the Gryffindor Four. All four had different fears. Remus was of course afraid of the full moon. This was understandable.
Next was James, surprisingly, James was afraid of seeing his friends and family die. It never seemed like he really cared about anyone but himself.
Peter, on the other hand, was scared of his friends discarding him or making fun of him for being pathetic. It was imaginable as Ragnar knew Peter was a depressed, scared guy with no self-esteem.
The most shocking though was Sirius. Ragnar was shocked at how similar it was to Magnus. Since he turned out to be scared of himself too. He was scared that he would turn into a dark wizard like his sisters and as his family desired. So what he saw was a version of himself wearing all black clothes, long black hair and a crazed face.
"Poor guy, his family really terrifies him," Ragnar pitied him, but ignored him soon to find other targets. He knew what Emma feared so there was no point in that, but there was also Lily. So he went to her. Soon, she was in front of him, with Severus beside her.
This one left him in laughter. Lily feared failing an exam and she also feared him, that he would someday become so advanced in potions that she could never catch up.
"Oh little girl, who's gonna tell you, I'm already light years ahead of you." He chuckled at her nativity.
That whole day, lots of students in the school were annoyed by sudden nightmares becoming a reality, lots of screams and cries echoed. Many teachers suspected that it was a Boggart on the loose.
But after looking everywhere they did not find it anywhere. How could they? Magnus and Ragnar had stopped their prank spree and returned to their dorms.
"HAHA... it was really fun, did you see professor Flitwick's fear? He was scared that a giant would mistakenly stop on him." Ragnar burst into laughter and laid down on his bed.
Magnus chuckled and responded, "Haha, that's just opposite of Hagrid. He fears that he might step on a little kid or animal mistakenly. (A/N: Hagrid has not seen Voldemort yet.)
"Man, I can't wait to use this in a fight. This thing will work even better than stunning charm on enemies." Ragnar planned.
*Door Opens*
Severus entered, Ragnar and Magnus stopped talking about their new invention right then. They were waiting for something to happen so they could officially talk to him about his situation but it never happened.
"What? Why are you looking at me like this?" Severus asked them.
Magnus chuckled, "Oh, we're just looking at the guy who got a tight hug from his crush."
"Yes yes... I remember it, 'NO! NEVER!' Lily was scared for some reason and jumped in his arms. Definitely suspicious. What did you do, Sev?" Ragnar accused him.
Severus blushed but then it hit him, "Wait... it was you two? And you were the one behind everything?"
They nodded, "Yeah, it was just a prank. But no need to thank us." Ragnar patted his shoulder while winking.
"Yup, don't mention it. Don't you remember what I said once? We're brothers, I always got your back. Let's go, Ragnar. We should go and meet the elfs to decide the menu of Halloween Slytherin's private party." Magnus dragged Ragnar away.
Severus stood there conflicted, ~Did he just...?~

[A/N: Hello, bros. I am starting the major climax of this arc. After this climax is over, consider the fic 60% complete. After this, the development will be slightly faster, there will be another climax in the year 1978, then in the year 2020. 2020 will be the end of the fic. After the year 1978, there will be some time skips until the Harry Potter era starts. But I will reserve some chapters to show the fluff between Magnus and his little sibling. There will also be romance.]

30th October, A day before Halloween,
"Mag, Rag and Sev, here you go. These are your nun dresses. You should try it and tell me if you want any fitting correction." Emma came to Magnus' room with no care at all. It was known to all now that girls could enter boy's dorms. Though thankfully there were charms placed on the school that stopped students from making love.
"Where is yours?" Magnus asked her.
"I'm still working on mine, I will show you that tomorrow. For now, I need you three to try these out and check them. Oh, I've also added places to keep your wands and a few pockets." She explained her creation.
Ragnar patted her shoulder, "Good job, Emma. No need to try them, we can just use magic to fix them up tomorrow."
Emma seemed dejected, it seems she just wanted to see them in the costume. But how could they let themselves be laughed at by her?
"Anyway, I'm off to meet the boss of this school." Magnus set off.
Ragnar chuckled, "Hehe... yeah, Dumbledore is the boss. I'm off to my new lab. Gonna prepare some firecrackers for tomorrow."
In the past few days, he had requested Slughorn and Dumbledore to get his own small potions lab where he can research and work. He didn't ask for money, he just needed the room. The castle was already huge and there were enough empty places. So he was granted it. He was already a world-famous potioneer anyway.
Severus stayed in his room though, as he was turning anxious. By now, he had already guessed that Halloween was when the attack on Magnus' life was going to take place.
It was the perfect opportunity as he will be going to Hogsmeade before the dinner party. Voldemort can't attack inside, but outside, he'd have enough space to do many things.
He could not tell Magnus not to go, as Voldemort would see that as an attempt by him to betray. He can only make sure he stays by Magnus' side and saves him.
~Dying would be better than betraying a brother.~
His head was clear. There was no guarantee that the Dark Lord will let his mother go. If Magnus died, even if he is able to save her, the whole magical world will be after his life like a hound. The only thing he could do now was die honourably and hope that Magnus can save his mother from the torture.
Headstrong and firm will, he was not scared anymore. But in his heart, he hoped that Magnus can overpower the enemies, so he can also save his mother. He was planning to tell Magnus everything as the fight will start, because at that time Voldemort would be there, not watching his memories.
...
Headmaster's Office,
Magnus sat down on the visitor's seat and poured himself a glass of lemon tea. Dumbledore didn't even offer it, but this was okay. Both of them were pretty cool with each other. Dumbledore saw him as his grandson anyway.
Meanwhile, the old man was smoking his lemon tobacco-less cigar. And honestly, Dumbledore looked very badass while smocking. The man had style, Magnus had to agree.
"So, how much have you planned to spend on the party?" Dumbledore asked. He had already gotten permission from the board of governors. All of them agreed since they won't be spending a penny, and they were also invited, along with many world wizards from ministry and foreign countries.
"How much will the food cost me?" Magnus inquired, talking out his small diary on which he writes stuff or ideas he gets often.
"Well, according to the menu you have submitted, the food will cost at least 1236 Galleons." Dumbledore read from his own diary.
Magnus nodded and wrote, "Cool, let's make it 2000, this will include wages of the elfs. They are going to be doing extra work to prepare the food after all. Just tell them this money is so they can keep their 10 puppies happy."
Yes, Magnus had gifted the elfs 10 puppies as they had requested. Now they looked much happier and even washed regularly to keep the area clean for the pups.
"Fine, the next is the special decorations on top of what we do every year anyway. They will cost 500 galleons." Dumbledore added.
Magnus made the total, "Cool, it'll just cost us about 2500 galleons. I will put 500 in reserve in case we need to spend it on something. Now, how many people are we going to invite? I hope no party poopers come because I am going to put giant speakers in the hall for music."
"Why would they make you angry by doing that? Most of them will be coming to get in your good books anyway." Dumbledore said and hushed his concerns.
"What about the security? Such parties will always have some unruly people starting fights." Magnus asked.
"Don't worry, the minister will be coming with a few Aurors, Moody is here too, nothing to worry about. I will get to work now, you should go and take your classes, Magnus. I know you already know everything but at least show your face every once in a while. It cheers up the students... and the teachers." Dumbledore advised.
It was true, Magnus' presence gets most people cheered up. Some students try to do better so they can be as good as him while some teachers feel good knowing Magnus also comes to learn from them.
"I will, professor. See you later." He waved and went out.
On his way, he looked out of the open hallway, which overlooked the outside on one side and had rooms on one side. It was morning but clouds covered the sky.
"Hmm, I guess I will go back to the dorms and listen to some music. Today's weather is very gloomy," he muttered.
...
Unknown location, Ireland.
"I have gathered you all here today because tomorrow we are going to go on a hunt to kill the biggest enemy of our goals. The goal is to make a just world where we, the pureblood and better wizards, are given their rightful place at the top. A world that we rule.
Enough with the muggle governments thinking they are the most powerful organisations. Those who still have not realised. Tomorrow, we shall kill the mudblood-prince, the so-called descendant of Merlin.
His filthy blood taints our magic. The more he lives the more he will damage our world with his schemes and evil. People think he is some kind of a messiah, but WE SHALL SHOW THEM THE TRUTH. THE REALITY!
And once they see it, they shall accept us, bow to us. We shall rule, and they will SERVE US. So arm yourself, for tomorrow, we shall change the world."
Voldemort stood in front of a large number of wizards, numbering more than a hundred. The 20 standing in the front were Death Eaters, the rest were other Dark Wizards, who wanted to become a death eater or just wanted to serve the Dark Lord.
The people cheered and chanted the glorious name of their lord. Voldemort meanwhile stood still while smiling with ecstasy. To his left stood Rodolphus and to his right stood Lucius.
Lucius looked dreamy, his goal was coming very close now. ~Just one more day. I will avenge you, father. I will bring back honour to the Malfoy family.~
