Chapter 342: 342. A Fistfight

Slytherin, Common Room

Magnus arrived in the common room to find a crowd gathered in the middle. Some jazz music was playing in the background.

"What's going on?" He asked them.

"Mr Pendragon, look, that new kid, Gilderoy, is challenging other first years." One of the other Prefects informed him. Heck, even the Headboy and Headgirl were standing at the side and watching.

He moved in and saw Gilderoy with a wand out. Magnus quickly cast an expelliarmus and took it away. "No no... magical fights are not allowed in dorms. If you want to prove yourself, then prove your physical strength. LET'S HAVE A FISTFIGHT"

Magnus' cheerful shout pumped everyone with excitement. Gilderoy frowned but nodded. "I shall prove my strength then."

Magnus chuckled, he saw the opponent of Gilderoy, it was a muggle-born kid, he had sharp and smart eyes. Ever since Magnus reformed the house, muggle-borns getting sorted in Slytherin had become common.

"Who do you put your bets on?" Ragnar asked him.

"On the muggle boy. He's small in stature but I know he will win." With utmost confidence, Magnus bet on a hundred galleons. This was worth a month's salary to many people, but among the super-rich, their bets were also extraordinary.

Ragnar scoffed, "Huh, Gilderoy is dumb, but I bet on him. He's bigger and taller."

"We'll see," Magnus focused on the fight.

As expected, Gilderoy came hard on his opponent, sending a punch to the face directly, while the other boy was struggling due to his smaller stature.

"I am the GREATEST wizard to have ever been born!" Gilderoy shouted in excitement, feeling powerful over his opponent.

"TAKE THIS!" Gilderoy threw a straight jab in the face.

But, surprising him, the muggle boy sidestepped and sent one punch straight to Gilderoy's face, on the nose. *BAM*

*THUD* Taking a few steps back, Gilderoy fell down. He was silent now, soon blood started coming out of his nose. He felt wet and numb on the face so he checked with his hand.

And the instant he saw red blood on his hand, he screamed at the top of his lungs, "BOOD... NOOOOOO..."

*THUD*

He fell back, unconscious now. The funny thing was, the muggle boy was in a much worse state, as he took more and harder punches. Yet Gilderoy fell first.

Magnus quickly got up and waved his wand over the two, healing them with a minor spell. Then he took out a pouch of a hundred Galleons and handed them to the muggle boy. "Good job. I am not appreciating you for the fight, it was an act that deserves punishment. But instead, I am praising your strength, your tenaciousness to not fall. Most importantly, you taught a lesson to this overconfident dreaming buffoon. Get a good night's rest now. And take these too, special notes for the 1st-year syllabus, made by me and Ragnar."

The boy happily took both, but the notes were more of a treasure to him. For every muggle-born who knows nothing about Magnus, it only takes them one single visit to Diagon Alley to learn about how great he is since the entire Diagon Alley is full of chatter about him and there are many posters too, all thanks to Daily Prophet. Then when they learn that the awesome British Prince is also an awesome Wizard, they automatically feel a sense of loyalty towards him.

This was basically softcore brainwashing, but Magnus wasn't deliberately doing it.

Anyway, after the fight was over and everyone dispersed, Ragnar asked him while giving him the bet money, "HOW? How did you know?"

He chuckled, "Simple, by the look and behaviour of Gilderoy, it was easy to see he was one spoiled brat, told by his parents that he's the best, when he's not. Often people like him are a wuss. Good night, Rag,"

...

A month later, it was a full moon. As always, Remus had to go to the shrieking shack, however, the shack did not shriek anymore as Wolfsbane potions had become so much affordable that even Remus could buy plenty. This is what mass production does to cost. It wasn't even a profitable business for normal potioneers, as the work was too much.

Remus arrived at the Shrieking Shack and sat down, waiting to turn into a werewolf, but thankfully, with the potion, he could keep his senses in that form too.

~I guess. I do owe it to Magnus and Ragnar, they have helped me, and many like me.~ he thought while sitting in the darkness. Every once in a while, he'd hear some wood creaking noise, but he was accustomed to it by now. The past 4 years have been full of experiences.

...

"Are you sure we should be here, James?" asked Peter.

"Calm down, my spineless friend. We are here to see Remus' secret. I and Sirius have been noticing that he disappeared every month for a night since last year. We are here to see why." James shushed him.

"Do you have any idea what it could be?" Peter asked him.

Sirius answered, "Of course, but we need confirmation. Now move your ass, don't block the tunnel."

The three were travelling through a secret tunnel passage leading to Hogsmeade. They think that only they know about it, not knowing Magnus had known about it from the first year and was even a user.

They secretly entered the Hogsmeade and soon arrived outside the Shrieking Shack. Scratching noises were coming from inside and it genuinely scared the three.

"You're scared, Sirius?" James asked in a joking tone.

Sirius really was scared, but he denied, "Not more than you, James. Let's go in and see it for ourselves."

Shrieking Shack did not have any doors or windows, so it was pretty hard to get inside. But the three used magic to transfigure the wood into a door and enter.

They lined up to get in, but Peter stopped, "Guys, I will wait for you outside."

James and Sirius just scoffed and ignored his existence. They were interested in their current adventure. To unravel the secret of Remus.

"Remus? Is that you?" Sirius voiced, perhaps a way to feel less scared.

"Grrrr... GAAAAA..." all of a sudden a big beast jumped out of the darkness and landed on Sirius.

"MERLIN'S CUNT!" James cursed, stepping back. Seeing Sirius pinned down, he took out his wand.

"NO! WAIT." Sirius voiced. "He's just licking my face."

Seeing this, James asked, "Are you, Remus?"

The werewolf nodded and growled even more. This made it clear that this creature, this werewolf, was Remus Lupin, their friend. Sirius forgot all his fears immediately, "Haha, James, now you owe me 5 galleons. I told you he's a werewolf."

Soon, they pulled the same prank on Peter, by calling him in and then letting Remus jump on him. Peter wet his pants that night sadly, suffering great humiliation. He was too much of a scaredy-cat, it was weird how he even ended up in Gryffindor.

They stayed the entire night with Remus, playing with him. But by the morning they had all fallen asleep and Remus was in his normal human form. When they all woke up, they panicked.

They had decided to return by midnight, but they didn't. And now it was bound to be found out by the others that they were missing.

"Guys, please don't tell anyone. Dumbledore secretly enrolled me into the school, otherwise, they would not let a werewolf like me enter the school." Remus requested them.

Sirius patted his back, "It's a secret that will die with us. But, you don't really need to hide anymore. Even Professor McGonagall is a werewolf. And I'm sure, Magnus would not allow anybody to make you leave the school."

James nodded, "There might even come a time when more werewolves are among us here, studying."

Remus felt touched and thanked them, "Thank you. This secret was taking a toll on my mental health. I can't believe Magnus didn't tell anybody all this time."

"WAIT!... Magnus knew?" James questioned him.

"Yes, he found out in the first year. Back then, I wasn't even in control of myself. The injury mark on his left eye, I gave him that. He too entered here back then, just like you. But he had to fight me in my maddening state," Remus revealed the secret.

James was taken aback, "I... didn't know this was the reason. I used to mock him for that."

Meanwhile, Sirius was in his own world, "YOU GAVE HIM THAT COOL SCAR? Remus, when you turn next time, I will be here, give me a cool cut mark as well. Chicks dig that, man."

While talking and laughing, they returned to the school from the secret entrance. Quickly, they changed their clothes and headed to the classes. They had already skipped breakfast.

But, sad for them, just before they could enter the potions class, Professor McGonagall was there. She stared at them angrily, "Do you four think that us teachers are fools? To Headmaster's office, RIGHT NOW!"

Then they received a verbal thrashing from Dumbledore. Certainly, Dumbledore had a way with the kids[A/N: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]. He talked so politely even when scolding, and that had an opposite reaction since the kids feel more pressured.

"I hope that you four have learnt your lesson. As a punishment, all four of you are to report for detention every day after school for 1 hour for the week. I am also taking 40 points from Gryffindor. Now, go back to your classes."

They went out, blaming each other. But they soon even forgot about all that. Now they had a new idea.

"Why don't we become Animagus and travel around with Remus whenever he's in his... Other form?" James suggested.

"YES!" Sirius was onboard, his love for everything illegal and rule-breaking was too much.

Every worried Peter spoke of his concern, however, "But, it's a really dangerous process. What if we made a mistake?"

"Come on, don't be a coward now." James and Sirius barked.

"He's right. You might die or get stuck half in the animal body and half in human." Remus added.

Now, this was scary, not death but being stuck. "Then how can we do it?"

Remus came up with an idea but didn't know if others would agree. "We need a genius to help. And the biggest genius in the school... We all know."

"NEVER... NO!" James was against it.

...

Great Hall,

Magnus sat with crossed arms and a prideful face. "Well, this is going to cost you four, lads."

Chapter 343: 343. Crazy, Stupid, Love... and that Bitch

Magnus was in the Great Hall. It was currently study hours, right before dinner. The place was big enough to act as a place for all to study here or do homework. This also helped them focus, as they would not have to move for dinner.

He was reading a book about organic chemistry. Emma soon came and sat beside him, she looked at what he was reading, "Woah, those are some nice designs. Are these tattoos?"

*Facepalm* "These are not designes, Emma. This is Chemistry, something like Alchemy but for muggles. It is the study of natural and man-made elements. Believe it or not, their study is much deeper than ours. It's giving even me a headache. So many stupid exceptions." He explained to her.

She embarrassingly nodded. Magnus noticed this and he patted her hand, making her heart race due to this sudden closeness. "You are not dumb, Emma. If you are, then all other students in this school are retarded. It's our own shortcomings that we have deemed all muggle subjects pointless and backwards. Wizards still think about Muggles from the point of view of before the 1800s. This is the result of our isolation policies."

"Then... do you suggest we remove the Statute of Secrecy?" She asked him curiously.

He scoffed, "Sure, if we want to start a war between muggles and wizards, then why not. No, what I suggest is that the ICW holds Muggle World Evaluation every 5 years to see what has changed in the muggle world in every single category. Then compile all the data in two parts, useful to Wizards and not useful. Subjects such as physics, biology and chemistry if taught to wizards can help us greatly."

Emma suddenly jumped in her seat and grabbed his arm. This time Magnus internally blushed. Emma had forgotten that she was not flat chested anymore. He could feel a soft sensation on his arm. But he managed to keep a straight face. "Magnus, why don't you become the Headmaster of the school after you graduate?"

Magnus thought about it, "Hmm... I can easily get the old man to retire. NAH... too much work. That job ain't for me. I'll let someone else be the headmaster and advise him."

"What are you two talking about... Oh... romance? Go on." Ragnar suddenly arrived and saw them sitting so close to each other.

This gave Magnus an easy chance to tease Emma. He suddenly put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her even closer, "So what? She says she likes me, even proclaimed it publically in Beauxbatons. This much intimacy should be normal."

"Ba... Ba... Ma... I NEED TO GO!" She stuttered and quickly ran away, her face flushed and cheeks reddened. However, in all that overwhelmingness, she forgot to notice that his words implied something, that he didn't reject her feelings now.

Back in the Hall, Ragnar smugly looked at him. He saw it through, "You acknowledge her feelings now? I hope you do."

"He's right" Severus also sat beside him, apparently, he saw it all. Including 3 dozen girls who were now fuming with jealousy. He continued, "Please don't play with her if you don't feel anything."

Magnus snorted, slightly angry, "Then you two don't know me I guess. I'm not stupid, you two. I know her feelings are genuine. For Merlin's sake, she was ready to fight Voldemort and his army... just because I asked, and she isn't even magically that strong. Then, after my battle with the werewolves, she searched for me the whole night, exhausted, beaten, injured from a few curses, she flew all over the Forbidden Forest.

"She was on the verge of dying that night, man. Her fricking Boggart is my dead body. So if her feelings are not real, then I don't know what is real in this world anymore."

Magnus said this loud and clear, making other girls hear him too, this was his way to make sure nobody dares to bully Emma, or else they shall face his wrath.

"Then why don't you just accept her. We are clearly in the dating age. She had clearly hit puberty long ago." Severus inquired. From how Magnus spoke, it was clear that he was also serious about her.

Magnus sighed, in a show of internal frustration in his mind. "I... I have some personal problems... problems that do not allow me to make such decisions. I'd end up hurting her in the future otherwise."

Ragnar, who sat on Magnus' other side, patted his hand on his back. He knew what that problem was, it was a curse of impotence, a price for all this power he had.

Severus didn't know though, but he was smart enough not to ask any further. "All I can say is... from my experience. It is better to not hide your feelings and problems from others. You should at least tell her what your problem is. If she is ready to die for you, I think she will keep that secret and still feel the same about you. It's better than making her go through all the frustration."

Magnus and Ragnar noticed Severus sadly looking at Lily, sitting two rows from the table across the room. She was sitting with her female friends, but the Gryffindor four were not away either. They were talking with each other and laughing.

Magnus felt something was not right, so he asked, "Did you confess?"

Severus nodded, "I did."

"And?" Ragnar inquired.

Severus looked down at the glass of water and his own image in it. He spoke, but before that he stealthily waved his wand, initiating some spell, it was new as Magnus and Ragnar had not seen it before. "I confessed to her this summer. I tried to make it as romantic as possible. I had already cleared my feelings to her long ago. But, I had never proposed to her.

"I had felt that we had gotten very close to each other in the past year and a half. We basically spent all our time at each other's homes during holidays. We also studied potions together at school.

"So I guessed, it was the right time. But..." He suddenly looked up at Magnus and Ragnar's faces, there was a conflict in Severus' eyes, "You are going to hate me for this."

"What did you do?" Magnus inquired seriously.

"I... I used legilimency on her when I confessed. The moment I told her about my true feelings, and intentions to date her publicly, she looked frozen for a few seconds. I couldn't take it so I looked in her head as she gave me the answer.

"She told me, that I was sweet, kind, friendly and reliable. She liked me... but only as a friend. She never saw me the other way. However, she wished me luck that I find someone like myself, a compatible woman. She then offered to continue the friendship and forget what just happened." He revealed.

"What did you see with Legilimency?" Magnus asked him straight.

Severus sighed, it sounded highly disappointed, "I saw the truth. The real reason why she didn't respond favourably to my proposal. The moment I told her about my feelings and intentions, the first thing that ran in her mind was her future life images of what if she were to say yes.

"S-She saw me as an ugly, hideous, unlikable, anti-social man. She saw herself being mocked by others for dating me. She saw marrying me but not being able to live happily, she saw herself having my child, who looked hideous as well, borderline demonic.

"I learnt that she saw me this way from the start. But due to my intelligence and willingness to help her, these thoughts of disgust towards me had subsided. But they resurfaced as soon as I proposed to her. There was much more... that I don't want to say, it was just not good."

"THAT BITCH!" Ragnar angrily got up.

"Don't, don't be angry at her." Severus stopped him, "I'd do the same if I was her. She is a beautiful woman with a cheerful and likeable personality. She rejects a dozen love letters every single month. I too would have wanted a beautiful partner... Perhaps I was the fool, trying to score above my capacity. It was probably just infatuation. She was my first friend, one who was beautiful. I was a simple fool, who blindly followed the first person to be warm to him." Severus said in a condescending tone.

"Don't worry, I will concoct an awesome beauty potion for you. It will make you a handsome man." Ragnar offered him.

Severus shook his head, albeit showing an appreciating smile, "Thanks, Ragnar. You are one of my two best friends. I am graced enough by fate, if it exists. But I don't want that potion. To alter myself is to reject myself. Bellatrix is a beauty, Lucius is a handsome man, but are they the same from the inside? No, they are rotten.

"While I may be ugly from outside, I can proudly say that I fight those monsters, that I am a brave man from inside." He faced Magnus then, "I wasn't going to tell you two all this, but after seeing Emma, I decided to do it. Magnus, if you don't like her, just tell her right now. Don't make her face this agony. Because if you drag this until the future, it will hurt much more. And I don't know if she has the same strength as me to handle it."

Magnus smiled and patted Severus' shoulder, "I understand. And goddamn, I got busy with work just for a year and our boy Severus grew so much. My friend, my brother, I can tell you, your soul is beautiful. To be able to still not hate Lily, I bow to you. Because if it was me, I'd have bullied her, I know, I'm a bastard. God knows why so many people like me and follow me, as if I don't have any flaws.

"While in reality, I have so many flaws... perhaps more than anyone."

Ragnar laughed, "Nice, here I thought you were a delusional bastard. It calms me to know you're instead a self-enlightened bastard."

Severus and Ragnar laughed at Magnus' annoyed face. So he decided to make fun of Ragnar as well, but then for some reason, the Gryffindor four came to him.

"Oh, what do we have here? Four detention lovers. What do you want?" Magnus asked them, teasing them at the same time.

Sirius stepped forward and with utmost confidence, voiced, "Magnus, we have come to bargain"
