Chapter 334: 334. Secret Assassination

There was an uproar. Magnus made the world's first cure for depression. And what was making people crazy was the fact that nobody knew where he was. Many of the news channels had set up their cameras at the gates of their house, yet nobody came to make an announcement.

However, the newspapers kept on getting new news, since Magnus had stakes in many of them. They told about how successful it is, that it does not cause any kind of addiction and in fact, it forces the user to stop using it after they are healed of depression. The game was all about the many hormones in the body.

It was revealed that it had gone into phase one clinical trial in the controlled environment of Pfizer lab on the Mother Grace Hospital campus. Easy to say, the major folks interested in this new drug were Hollywood celebs, actors, directors, all kinds of artists, politicians, stock market investors, the entire Wall Street basically.

It was funny how now there were so many fans of not just Magnus but the entire Grant Family that whatever they do they support. Heck, there were some talks that there is a secret cult somewhere in Britain that prays to Mother Grace as an angel sent by god. The Police were still trying to gather more information.

In a recent survey, about 90% of people supported the Monarchy, though only the Grant Family. Meanwhile, 5 per cent tilted towards support, 1 per cent were undecided and 4 per cent said they don't support the Monarchy. The last bit was those NGOs and activists. Nobody takes them seriously. They will cry even if Magnus literally makes every citizen a millionaire.

However, there were few powerful people who had decided to Test Magnus, to see if he should join them or not. For that, they came up with the really stupid plan of trying to hurt Grace and the three little babies.

And what better time than the Christmas Dinner at Buckingham Palace, and since it was the Winter Holidays, Magnus would also be there to attend. After all, he was also going to be announced as the Crown Prince on his 15th Birthday on 15th January.

...

Hogwarts, Headmaster's office

"Magnus, my favourite student, come and take a seat. Want something to eat?" Dumbledore acted a bit too giddy for Magnus' taste.

With suspicion, he asked back, "Umm... what is this about now, professor? I didn't do anything this whole semester. I was busy."

"No, no, it's not about all that. I just called you to hear your thoughts. A one on one conversation." Dumbledore said. He was probably trying to correct the mistakes he made with Voldemort. He had left the boy to himself after bringing him to the school, while he should have continued to talk to him so that he could have changed his radical ideas.

Magnus shrugged, "I'm fine, what about you? How are you going to spend your Christmas? With your brother?"

"My brother and I... we don't get along very well, and since he has his own private life, I can't impose myself on him," Dumbledore replied.

Magnus scoffed, "Oh, I know him, he'd probably just get drunk. You should try to mend your relationship with him, professor, he's the last direct relative you have. And you two are old, who knows which year's winter will be too much for your old bodies."

(ಠ_ಠ)

~Wait, this conversation was supposed to be about him. When did it turn into my family problems?~ Dumbledore realised a problem.

"I will try to talk to him, Magnus, don't worry about me now. Talk about yourself. How are you going to spend your Christmas? I believe with family?" Dumbledore inquired.

Magnus nodded, "Of course, I am going to spoil my three bundles of cuteness and maybe visit the Royal Palace for dinner."

Dumbledore however was scared, "You must not spoil them too much, Magnus. You don't want another spoiled Lucius Malfoy now do you?"

Immediately the scene of his three little siblings appeared in his mind, where they were small and wearing Slytherin robes while proudly proclaiming, "MY BIG BROTHER WILL KNOW OF THIS! HMPH!"

He quickly shook his head to shake that thought off, "NO! Never, I will never allow that to happen. I will spoil them only in a few matters, when it comes to morals, they will be taught by mum herself, after all, if she was able to make me a good guy, she can make them too."

The old man nodded, there was no doubt about that. Grace has done a marvellous job in teaching Magnus about morals.

"Then I feel assured. Well, here, take these. I made these protection charms for your family, knowing how important they are for you, and from seeing all the muggle newspaper, they are important for the world as well." Dumbledore handed him 7 small pouches made of gift wrap.

Magnus looked at Dumbledore's face first to see if there was anything hidden behind this. After all, he knew that sometimes the old man can be pretty foolish in his choices. He ends up creating more damage than good.

"I think I have given them enough protection already," Magnus said.

Dumbledore insisted, "Safety is something that is never enough. The more the better. And these charms will keep them safe from all kinds of harm, be it physical or mental. And no, I did not put anything to track or manipulate you on this. I may have gone slightly senile but not to that point."

Magnus chuckled and took them, "Haha, I see you have done some soul searching?"

"You have to do it when you see a boy decades younger than you doing a better job at bringing peace than your entire life's work." Dumbledore sighingly said.

"I think you just couldn't find the sweet balance better where you should use your absolute strength to crush enemies and where you should ease up. You ended up easing up on everyone, and this only strengthened the enemies who knocked on our doorsteps today." Magnus told him about his evaluation and decided to leave. He needed to pack his bags to head home.

Dumbledore silently stayed seated, apparently looking back at all his memories, seeing where he could have used extra force to make the problems of today disappear. ~I should have gone easier on Grindelwald and reasoned with him. Maybe then Ariana would have been alive. And I should have killed Tom when he first showed his signs of madness,~

...

Magnus arrived at home via apparition from the train station. Emma and Severus also came as this time the holidays started close to Christmas. They were going to the Christmas party as well.

For three days he just messed around and had fun with his friends. They went to Bobby's company and embarrassed him a bit. After that, he got them nice suits and dresses from Kingsman tailors.

Well, the Kingsman chapter was also unique. After how Magnus killed their top agent, they held an internal inquiry, and they hired MEDA for this since they knew MEDA had wizards. So, after a long-secret investigation, both physical and mental, it was found that there were about a dozen people compromised, some allied with Soviets, some with businessmen, some with the United States. In short, none were loyal to the United Kingdom.

They were quickly obliviated about every single thing they knew and their memories were also taken to investigate whom they shared the info with. Meanwhile, Magnus gave an ultimatum to the Kingsman to become his subordinate or stop existing. They had lost their credibility since even their best agent had betrayed them.

After that, they made the decision to become Magnus' subordinate, with the core principles intact that they would safeguard the British Interests. However, Magnus put them as a branch of MEDA. Just more secretive.

Anyway, they headed to Buckingham Palace for dinner. All the big lords and ladies, along with many big businessmen had been invited. The Queen, however, was less of an attraction now, as most just wanted to meet Adam, Grace or Magnus. Though thankfully most people stayed civil and didn't disturb them.

"Mum, try this one, it's tasty." Magnus put pudding on Grace's plate.

"Dear, I will get fat if I eat all this." She complained.

But Ragnar winked and said, "Don't worry, I got you covered. You can enjoy all you want today."

She chuckled, "All right then, I shall indulge myself in the way of fatty foods. You eat some too, Magnus. Emma and Severus, have more. Adam, why are you not eating it?"

Adam frowned, "Magnus, don't you find it strange that only our plates are of a different colour?"

Magnus looked around quickly, everyone had plain white ceramic plates with golden edges, but the ones given to his family had extra patterns on them. He quickly called the security advisor from MEDA and asked him.

"Don't worry, sir. We have dealt with everything. Please enjoy the meal in peace. You will get the detailed report as soon as the dinner ends." The man reported dutifully.

Sighing, Magnus told the same to his father, "Don't worry, dad, it's all been taken care of. I have set 4 layers of security around us. MEDA's wizards are the last layer of defence, and nobody gets past them without getting their brains checked."

However, Magnus did have a look at the queen, sitting on a different table not far from him. And she felt it too, only to wonder what the heck happened now.

Still, Magnus avoided jumping to conclusions, as there were just too many people who wanted to harm him.

...

After the dinner, some events were still being held and people were socialising. At that time he and Severus went to the Kitchen where a MEDA agent was waiting for him. He handed him the file.

"Sir, this is what we found. Your plates were coated with a special frozen poison. It looked like an intricate pattern initially but when it touches warm food it melts and mixes with the food. The waiter who was supposed to bring your for turned out to be a disguised muggle or wizard. But, with some unknown help from inside the Palace, he was able to escape." The agent revealed.

"What kind of poison was it?" he inquired.

"It attacks the brain, sir. It gives a brain haemorrhage and the person dies suddenly due to ruptured veins in the brain. We changed the plates before they even reached you." the agent answered.

"Any ideas on who it was? Was it the Queen... the unknown help?" Magnus asked him straightforwardly.

Severus spoke in denial, saying, "Most likely not. She is not dumb enough to do something like this in her own home. She will be blamed by many. Whoever it is, they probably underestimated your mind, they probably want you to think it's the queen."

*Sigh* "Man, why can't they just attack face to face." He sighed and called Adrian, "Initiate Alert 0. An attempt on my and my family's life was made. You have the permission to knock on any door, search any house or mind you need, go to any corner of the world you need to, I need to know who did it in 24 hours." He ordered on the phone

And so, the nightmare started for a few people who thought their money and power made them supreme.

[A/N: Illuminati is f*cked I guess. Any guess on who its members are?]

1 Stone = 1 Poison Banana. [Effect: Get the ability to breathe out Poison.]

Chapter 335: 335. Best Investigator

Adrian knew very well that this was not done by some simple people who just wanted to kill Magnus. It was certainly not done by the royal family since they were the first to get their minds read. About the man who was there as a waiter was still being searched around the country. The waiter whose place the man had taken was searched in the brain for every single moment in his life and nothing was found other than him being hit by something invisible and falling down.

This left the guests, and all of them as well got their minds checked, none had anything to do with what just happened. Meanwhile, the cooks were rounded up and their minds were checked, once again, none were found to be behind it.

The reason Magnus and his family were given different plates was due to them running out of more similar plates and these were the new designs that came in just a day before.

This sent their investigation outside. They looked for the company that made the plates and checked all their people and their packages.

Yet, only the ones that were sent to the Royal Palace were found to be poisoned. What was shocking was that the other plates that were sent to Buckingham Palace didn't have any kind of poison. Only those that Magnus and his family were to be given had it.

It left the question, if no one was involved in this from the palace, then how did the specific poisoned plates reach the Grand Family?

This was by far the most complex investigation they were facing. And those behind this were surely not normal, this was given. This kind of elaborate planning takes too much money, planning and resources.

Still, for muggle investigations, it may be hard or impossible to find the culprits, but for wizards, there was always a way. Even a small clue could help them find the big clue.

And they found one in the factory that manufactured the dye that was used to make engravings on the plates. Only one small bottle of it contained poison in it, and it was found in the dump.

After this, they looked for every single employee of the company. There were 5 that had left the company just a day ago that raised their suspicion. But, sadly, they were all found dead.

"It is possible that only one of them was the lead and others were just decoys to make us waste time. Bring the Scene recreation magic experts." Adrian ordered as soon as the bodies were found.

The Scene Recreation magic was something that the company developed and also taught to the Ministry of Magic's Aurors. This involved analysing every single thing inside the crime scene and checking what moved from its original position. It's very complex and hard to master. But this was also one of the highest-earning professions in magical Britain right now.

With the help of these wizards, a crime scene could be recreated with magic to understand how things happened, from where the murderer entered and where he went afterwards. Though sadly, they could not find what the murderer looked like.

The investigation became a huge spider web, spreading so far and wide that they were having to pour a lot of their resources. Every single clue would lead them to hundreds of other clues and the chain would go on. Out of all these clues, only 1 would be the real one and all the others would be a decoy.

Whoever was behind this clearly knew that wizards would be investigating it, hence, so many fake clues were made. Sadly, Magnus' given 24 hours were not enough to end the investigation.

When Magnus found out how deep the web went behind this whole assassination attempt, he became angry. The next thing he did was make his family shift to Camelot.

...

"What happened, dear? Why are you being so agitated? Why did you suddenly bring us here?" Grace asked him.

He explained to them what had occurred in the past 24 hours and that he still didn't know who was targeting them. And honestly, this was scarier for him than even Voldemort. Because with Voldemort, he knew who his enemy was and to an extent, he knew what to expect. However, now, he had no idea if they were muggles, if they were wizards or how he should address this problem.

Thankfully, Grace and Adam accepted his worries and stayed in Camelot. They understand that with them outside they will always be in danger and that will make Magnus uneasy.

"Be careful, Magnus. Tell us whenever you find something." Grace worriedly told him.

"Don't worry mum, I will not go easy this time. I am taking this as if God himself has waged war on me. I will be armed to teeth at all times." He assured her, as he had already learnt the lesson after the Battle of Thousand Beasts.

...

Magnus left to find the real perpetrators behind all this. He asked Merlin for help in this matter since the current magic did not allow anyone to look in the past.

But even Merlin's magic didn't allow one to see the past. Hence, Magnus was in a pickle. With no major clue found, his time was up and he had to return to Hogwarts.

However, the investigation went on. Word was already spreading in the magical circle of major magical countries around the world that an assassination attempt on Magnus and his family was made. All were cooperating now.

When the queen found out about it, she too told all the people she could to cooperate with MEDA as much as they could with no questions asked.

There was an air of tension circulating around the magical community. They felt uneasy as they didn't know if it was done by Voldemort. However, most elder wizards ruled that out, Voldemort was too proud to do assassination, but, they also said that it is possible Voldemort might have changed after his last defeat.

Amidst all this, most even forgot that a referendum was taking place in the British Overseas Territory called Zimbabwe. The referendum didn't make any news and occurred silently. When it was already underway and the votes had been cast, the world was allowed to know that this had happened.

As expected, a few called it colonialism 2.0. Many called it the return of imperialism. But, these were only minor independent newspapers. All the major ones were silent on the matter, they would stay silent not because they were fed money, but because they were paid to at least wait before the results come. If the results are in favour, they should say good things and even go do ground reporting. If the result is not in favour then they can say anything they want.

Magnus was busy with finding the assassins, studying and getting stronger. By now, he didn't really have to get stronger as his last battle had proved that he was stronger than a majority of wizards. But what Magnus wanted was absolute strength. So much that none could threaten him.

By mid of January, he was given the result of the referendum held in Zimbabwe. But at the same time, Adrian made a very risky move to find the criminals responsible.

The ministry also helped in this as they allowed Adrian to use something that they had kept safe, inside the Safehouse. The instrument sanctioned to be used by Adrian was none other than a Time-Turner.

...

Adrian knew that this move was risky. But he also knew that he was not present at Buckingham Palace when the whole thing took place. Hence, he had the best chance.

However, the Time-Turner being used by him was not normal, it was a more ancient one, made by an unknown person and seized by the ministry. To get back to the night of the dinner, he will need to jump a whole 20 days in the past.

By the time he comes back, he will be a month older. But this was a trade-off he was ready to make since his honour as an investigator was on the line here.

In the controlled and safe environment of the MEDA safehouse. He jumped back into the past.

He faced the first problem, that he could not enter the party looking like this. It would alert Magnus when he calls Adrian later. So, he knocked down a MEDA staff member, disguised as kitchen staff and used his hair to add it to a polyjuice. As he was the CEO of MEDA, he created all security protocols and secret passwords. So, he easily took entrance to the premises.

Inside the Kitchen, the first thing he did was put a tracker on every single plate with the same pattern as the ones given to the Grant Family. This tracker was in the form of an invisible gel, so anyone who touches this plate will be marked. Then he put magical spy cameras in every single place he could, not leaving any kind of blindspot.

However, he still put a marker on every single guest and staff member in the entire Palace. Soon, when the food was being taken out, he noticed the plates with patterns as well. They were not the ones he had put his tracking gel on. This made it clear that someone took 6 plates from some secret place.

He noticed the waiter that was taking the plates. He had seen the man before a minute ago, but he felt wrong, as his way of walking, his expressions and manner did not match the man from before.

He deduced that this man had also used magical means to turn into this. So, he silently came in his way and touched a plate, "Do you need help? Let me carry some for you."

But, the man refused with an annoyed face. However, this was enough for Adrian to touch his hand and make contact with his skin. The tracker was placed, it was in his blood now and unless he dried it completely, he wouldn't get away.

But even now, he was wondering how the heck these plates got swapped later with the non-poisonous one. Suddenly, an idea arose in his mind, ~Could it be that it was me in the first place who stopped the plates? But... then how did this loop even start? This does not make any sense.~

Now he understood why Time-Turners were kept secret and far away from the general public. It was just too much of a headache. Still, he was scared, he had no idea if it was him or not. And if he made any wrong move, it would mess up everything.

"OYE... WHOSE PLATES ARE THOSE? BRING THEM OVER HERE, I DIDN'T FINISH COOKING YET!" The head chef suddenly shouted. This immediately alerted every single hidden Dragon Service, MEDA, Army Of Merlin, Golden Company, Kingsman members.

And boy oh boy, 60 per cent of the entire cooking and catering staff was made up of Magnus' security forces. F*ck, even the Ministry of Magic had sent 5 Aurors on permanent Mangnus' security duty and even the Janitor was a wizard from the Order of the Phoenix.

Immediately, they all pounced on the man and took away the food and the plates. Soon, they had the confirmation that the plates contained the poison. However, when they went to take the man out of the cell and interrogate him, they found that the man originally whose position the wizard took was there, the true assassin was gone. The 5 guarding wizards were on the ground, unconscious.

Adrian did not have much time left, he could not go after the assassin right now. He quickly found the MEDA agent whose position he took over, implanted new memories in his head of whatever Adrian did concerning the original job. Then, he quickly appeared back inside the Safehouse in the present time.

Immediately, he went out to look at the tracker monitor he had with him to locate the man who was in the Palace that day.

...

Magnus, in Hogwarts castle, received two good pieces of news on the same day.
