*Yawn*
Magnus woke up in his room, for sure, Emma was with him too. They didn't do the adult stuff every day, on some nights they just cuddled and slept.
"Ah, it's cloudy outside today. I need to take the duelling classes today, Emma, you also need to focus on duelling. The King of the United Kingdom can't have a weak wife." He said.
She rolled over the bed and got up, "I have asked Ragnar to make me magic bombs to drop from brooms. I am also working on an amazing new thing. A broom that I can control with my mind. Now, bear with me, what if I can make the brooms charmed and enchanted to teeth while they look like sharp arrows? Even better, they are as small as an arm. Thin and faster than one can see."
Magnus only took 5 seconds to realise the great deadlines of this weapon, "Damn, it will be like your own bullet that you can control from your mind."
"Yes, but you will need to help me with the charms." She requested.
He kissed her lips and headed out of the room, "Anything for your highness."
"WAIT! Help me get to my room first." She shouted. She couldn't really walk to her room now.
...
*WOOSH*"
Magnus sent out a small weak spell and all five of his opponents fell down. "Note, never ever think you can overpower your enemy just because you have the numbers. Always consider yourself just a bunch of hyenas fighting against a lion. Hyenas fight and hunt in packs, even a lion can be defeated or outsmarted by them.
"You fought me like a pack of street dogs. No coordination and each one of you was scared of me." He was scolding while teaching the duelling club members about the fight. The club had been thinned down, when it had started there were about 200 members, no there were just 50, and all these were those who were truly serious about their hobby.
"I want to do it again, how is this possible that not even one of my spells landed on you?" Gilderoy Lockhart said.
"You're a second year, get accustomed to the spells of 2nd year first. I can see what you are trying to do, you're trying spells of 4th year. Everyone starts learning counting from 0 to 1, you don't straight up jump to 10 and start from there." Magnus scolded him.
"I am proficient in all kinds of spells, I am a prodigy in magic," Gilderoy claimed.
Magnus sighed, this was a weekly occurrence, Gilderoy and his bullshit proclamations.
"And who told you this? Your mother? Before the age of 10, I didn't even know I had magic in me. Yet I am this strong. At the age of 11, I was able to beat 5 wizards in a deathmatch. You are 12, then why are you not even able to defeat a 3rd-year student? There is no harm in admitting one's shortcomings because if you don't accept there is a problem, you will never be able to solve it." He genuinely tried to teach him. Be dumb or not, Gilderoy was a Slytherin, and every Slytherin was his friend.
"But... I am not supposed to be mediocre, I am supposed to be the best." Gilderoy said with a depressed face.
Magnus could understand his feelings, the kid had put his expectations from himself so high that when the reality hit him he couldn't accept it. That made him try even harder and eventually end up being so pathetic.
"Listen, any wizard can get stronger, if not Dumbledore's level then surely Professor McGonagall's level. But, for that, you need to be diligent in your studies and honest with yourself. Every single student in Slytherin gets classes from me, Ragnar and Severus, along with our special study material. It has helped so many to become better. You can too, that is if you let go of your inflated ego and see for what truly is." Magnus lectured.
Gilderoy silently nodded, looking down at his feet in shame. His actions and thoughts were so clear to Magnus that he could not even say Magnus was wrong. "Okay,"
After saying that much, he ran away. Magnus continued the class for a few more hours, they rarely get one every week anyway so it was better to teach whatever he could in one day.
Ragnar didn't join, as his fighting style wasn't really suited for this class. He used swords and potions to kill people. Severus was there though, along with James and Lily. They said they wanted to get stronger so they could protect themselves. He didn't deny them.
Professor Flitwick kept a vague eye on the class, coming there every once in a while. He had basically given it up to Magnus completely, knowing he was already a better duelist than him.
...
Fluffy, the poor three-headed dog ran as fast as he could. Not many knew about his existence so when the students of Hogwarts saw him entering the school they were terrified, girls screamed and boys took out their wands.
Fluffy was scared, he was no match for these wizards, but he knew he must save Hagrid, his dad. And the only person who could understand him was in the school. All three of his heads barked madly, hoping that he would be heard.
At the same time, he feared that someone would hurt him. His way into the school was blocked by a few senior male wizards.
"BOW! GRRR!"
"STAY BACK FROM THE BEAST!" A few boys shouted.
However, ignoring everything, one girl ran straight to the dog. Emma was on her way to the great hall for dinner when she heard the barks, it ended up being the right decision to come here.
"EMMA! STAY BACK!" some boys warned her out of goodwill.
But she ignored them and patted Fluffy's heads, "What happened, Fluffy?"
Noticing the fear in the dog's eyes, she knew what she must do. Sending a small amount of magic into her ring that Magnus gifted her last year, she talked to him directly, "Mag, quickly come to the west exit, Fluffy is here, he looks very scared."
Magnus didn't even reply and just dashed out as quick as he could. Fluffy was a daring dog, if something could scare him, then it must be crazy deadly. Ragnar and Severus also followed him behind.
...
Magnus moved aside the crowd and rushed to Fluffy. He picked the good boy in his arms and talked to him. "What happened, boy?"
Fluffy was not of the same intelligence as Duck, he was a common animal with low-level intelligence, "Dad, danger... help."
That was enough, he turned to Emma, "Take out brooms,"
She swiftly opened her expansion pouch and gave him a broom, then to Ragnar and Severus. He quickly flew away, keeping Fluffy in his arms so he could tell where to go to.
As soon as they hovered over the Forbidden forest, Magnus saw a few strobing lights. Angrily, he landed a few metres away from where the main action was taking place.
He looked back at his friends, "Stay silent, wizards are close by. Take out wands,"
They slowly moved towards the scene of action. It was already night so the jungle was pitch black, no moonlight fell under the thick blanket of the trees. Soon they heard some voices, it was Hagrid and two more men.
"I will take care of it," he said and took out the Ancient Staff, the one that used to be Merlin's. He was good enough to use it in some conditions. "I will melt their bones while keeping them alive."
"WAIT!" But when he suddenly looked to his right, he felt a third presence there. He rushed to this one, wanting to deal with the sneaky bitch. "Come out now, I know you're in there."
They could only notice a hooded figure. It seemed shocked that it was found out. Magnus pointed to his staff, "I will kill you if you don't speak."
"AH!" all of a sudden Magnus exclaimed, his face appearing horrified, he turned to Severus, " QUICK! Obliviate my past 5 minutes of memory. NOW!"
They were shocked beyond anything. But Severus trusted him, "Keep your shields down."
He did exactly that and allowed 5 minutes of his memories to be removed. He just looked around after that, "AH! HAGRID!" Exclaiming loudly, he caught the attention of the two attackers.

Alternate Universe, Future Magnus' World
Magnus and his friends rushed to Hagrid, they found the attackers and quickly killed them, but that wasn't the end, they found Hagrid's body, beaten and battered. Blood all around like a puddle. Around him were also a few Unicorn dead bodies.
"NO! Ragnar, get me all the potions you have," Magnus shouted.
He tried to use all the magic he had to fix the gentle giant. But Severus fell back all of a sudden, horrified by what he found, "Stop it, Magnus. H-he's no more."
"I can save him." Magnus didn't quit just yet, as he was using all the magic he knew. There were a lot of deep flesh wounds on his body, many going as deep as his bones.
Fluffy sat beside the dead body, putting his head on Hagrid's feet and crying silently. He could already feel that something had gone horribly wrong.
"W-we should contact the school." Ragnar sadly blurted.
Soon enough, Dumbledore arrived at the place, looking as saddened as Magnus. Hagrid was like a son to him, one who he looked after when he was at his lowest. Hagrid was also one of the most staunch supporters and believers of Dumbledore after all.
"I have failed," Dumbledore muttered. Hagrid believed him fully and yet he died.
Magnus however was silent for a few hours, the entire school was shocked by what happened, two death eaters appeared from somewhere and killed Hagrid, also a few unicorns.
"He's going to do something, I can already see it. Be with him," Ragnar told Emma.
But Magnus had already done it. He took out his phone and called Adrian, "Bring me the time-turner right now. Two Death Eaters killed Hagrid."
That was all he needed to get Adrian to come. Adrian had no reason to deny either, as Magnus was his boss and Hagrid was dear to him as well. The one person who didn't deserve to die the most at the hands of these animals was Hagrid. It was a fact that he never tried to do any harm to anybody.
...
In the middle of the night, Adrian arrived at the school to give him the time-turner. "Please use it carefully, try not to get recognised by anyone, especially yourself. And try not to get involved in the situation physically yourself. Using a time turner is a double-edged sword, if done right it can be your greatest help, if done wrong, it can become your worst nightmare.
"There is a reason why they are banned and under the strict watch of the ministry. These things have the power to destroy the entire world if in the wrong hands. But even Voldemort has not used them, as he probably understands the dangers as well."
"I understand that, Adrian. See you later." Magnus used the Time-Turner to return 5 hours in time. He had no idea when the attack on Hagrid occurred by he didn't take any chances and went to 7 in the evening, as he was notified by Fluffy at 8.
He used apparition to get to the same spot in the jungle and hid. There was no activity so he guessed that it had not happened by then.
~What's that? These bastards are after the Unicorns?~ he realised what was happening, as two wizards appeared in his view.
But he used his Merlin's staff to nullify the damage of their spells and allow the Unicorns to only get slightly injured and make them fake death. If he didn't save them even now then he'd be really ashamed. ~I will take all the Unicorns in the world to Camelot if their blood is what Voldemort is after.~ he decided.
"Magnus is such a good kid, we'll make some special apple herb pie for him," Hagrid was happily talking to Fluffy.
Magnus felt his resolve to save him increased by many times, ~Don't worry, big man.~
Next, as he expected, the two wizards saw Hagrid and decided to kill him, but this time, whenever they sent a spell at Hagrid, Magnus would use his overpowered staff to reduce their effects to a degree that they'd only hurt and not injure. But he also quickly made Hagrid fall unconscious to make the attackers feel like they had won.
There was a really important thing needed to know if one was going to recent past to change something by using a time turner. The biggest rule was that it must always be a perfect loop. Because if it isn't it will mess up the entire timeline and your own timeline will not get the results of what you did, instead, a new timeline will start-up, different from yours.
The easiest way to make a perfect loop was to achieve your goals in a way that the effects of your work appear after the time when you used the time-turner has passed. In short, the future Magnus had to do something that the Magnus in the past still sees Hagrid dead and comes to the past to save Hagrid.
He could not kill these two wizards really, so all he could do was silently interfere. The next major thing he needed to do was to somehow make everyone think Hagrid was dead, especially Dumbledore who would absolutely do a thorough check.
However, just then a strange thought came up in his mind, ~Wait, does this mean that if I were to return, Hagrid would be alive? Since theoretically, I have already done this in another timeline. FUCK! Time travel is so confusing.~
Shaking his head and letting all these thoughts sit aside, he started to cast his spell, making Hagrid's body basically go in hibernation, with the time set to wake up 5.5 hours from now.
It was a really complex spell that Merlin taught him, he had never even tried it on someone, but at least the only bad thing that could happen with this was the person falling asleep.
Once that was done, he decided to head back before the current Magnus arrived. However, he was found out, ~Fuck me and my crazy senses.~
He was exhausted from using Merlin's wand and didn't want to fight himself. It would go on for too long. So he tried to send a mental message to himself, it was easy as he knew the defences of his own mind, ~You dumb shit, I am you from the future. Quick, Obliviate yourself or you will mess up everything.~
Magnus from the past seemed shocked but believed the words spoken to his mind. He turned to Severus and demanded that he be obliviated.
Seeing this, Future Magnus quickly left the scene just in time to return from where he used the Time-Turner. Though one thought remained in his head, ~Hmm... does this mean that this interaction took place with me as well but don't remember because I obliviated myself?~
...
Prime Timeline, Present Magnus' world
Magnus headed straight to where Hagrid was, he was in a puddle of blood and two wizards stood near him. They were cursing, "Fuck, why is he not dying?"
"I will tell you!" Magnus jumped near them and pointed to his staff. Just one single flick was all that was needed to melt the bones of the two wizards, but it was done in a way that they did not immediately die. They also tried to get away by apparating away but Magnus was not the one to make stupid mistakes of letting them go.
He rushed to Hagrid and used the staff to heal him, but no matter what he did, he was not able to save Hagrid, he had already lost his life and was not breathing.
The two death eaters were caught and Hagrid's body was taken to the infirmary by Dumbledore soon. Hagrid was declared dead officially at that time, the news was sent to all important personnel and the Ministry was notified of the resurfacing of the Death Eaters.
Magnus was really sad at that moment, so he made up the plan to go to the past and fix everything.
...
5 hours later,
Magnus found himself standing in the same place where he used the Time-Turner before. Adrian was nowhere to be seen as he had smartly left, knowing it could cause complications.
He dashed towards the infirmary to check up on Hagrid, to see if his hard work was even fruitful. There was a crowd gathered in there, all looking grim. His heart shrank a little, feeling that his attempt was unsuccessful.
