Chapter 435: 435. Graveyard of Empires

This time, no wasteful tea parties or such nonsense were included in the work of the monarch. Magnus had real work to do.

He apparated to Brunei to check the development of the new Hogwarts. The main building was nearly done. The first priority was to finish the classroom, living quarters and the great hall. The rest can be built slowly as students start their semesters.

Severus was already assigned to this place, not just as a teacher but also as the Deputy Headmaster. The new Headmaster of the New Hogwarts was going to be Professor McGonagall. Magnus purposefully ensured that the names of the two schools were no different, his aim was not to divide the two into different identities. At first, he thought of calling it East Hogwarts, but then remembered what was the condition of Germany. It was also divided into East and West Germany.

"So, what's the progress?" He entered the headmaster, Professor McGonagall's office. Severus was there too.

"The school is running as any normal school would. There is not much to do other than that. The quidditch field is to be completed soon. I have asked professor Sprout to help build a herbology lab here too. Other than this, Severus is experienced enough to set up the potions class and also handle the Charms. We will need more teachers quickly in order to run things smoothly.

"One thing we are happy about is that a lot of students have enrolled. About 300 students have enrolled in the first year. Next year there may be more, so we're looking at there being 2500 students at any one time. If it becomes more than this, we will send some to the UK, as Hogwarts there has extra space." Professor McGonagall briefed him. Magnus was not here as her boss, he was the Chairman of the new Board of Directors of Hogwarts management committee.

"Hmm, in that case, I think I need to start futureproofing the school. If we are unable to cater to the wizard population of today, how will we do it let's say 10 years from now? The world population is increasing after all. As for teachers, I have asked my people to scout for talents from across the world.

"One more thing, once the quidditch field is done, start practising. We are going to have a yearly Hogwarts cup where teams from both schools will compete." Magnus suggested them.

Severus joined the conversation, "Are you planning on building more schools in the future? Because there are many more wizard kids out there who aren't able to get formal education due to lack of a system."

He nodded, "That's the plan, Sev. I have planned to open one more school in Zimbabwe for African kids, then one in Belize for the Caribbean and South American kids. The Hogwarts will become a multinational school chain then."

"And who will oversee them?" Severus asked.

The answer was obvious. "I will, as I don't trust most wizards, to not fu... I mean mess up. We can not afford any kind of mismanagement anymore, we don't want another Voldemort."

McGonagall sighed at that, "Truly, we cannot afford that. The wizarding world is finally at peace because of you. Peace brings more prosperity, more marriages and births. It's good for wizards."

"And that's why I am doing all this. Well, see you later then, I need to head back. Bye-bye," Magnus used apparition to leave. He was good enough to reach any corner of the planet with an apparition these days.

...

Months into the year 1979 passed slowly, every day he'd make a trip to some part of the world to check on a company or make new deals. For the year, the GDP of the UK was projected to be 775 Billion. Meanwhile, the U.S. was at 2.62 trillion. There was a large gap, but the pace the UK was rising was staggering and at this speed, they were to hit 1 trillion by 1981. If that happens, it would be an economic miracle.

In October, news came from James Potter, one good and one bad. His parents got Dragon Pox. A potentially fatal contagious disease that affected wizards and witches. The symptoms were presumably similar to Muggle illnesses like chickenpox. It was incurable and they would have died if not for Ragnar. There was already a cure for this disease in the market because Ragnar made it a year ago with the help of Duck's skin sample.

The good news beyond this was that Lily was pregnant. And honestly, nobody was surprised. They saw this happening from miles away.

At the same time, something problematic occurred on the world stage. In December of 1979, USSR invaded Afghanistan. This scared a lot of western nations, including Saudi Arabia and many other middle eastern nations.

The US quickly contacted all allies to decide what to do with the situation. The threat of communism was seen as the biggest danger by the western world.

In the UK too, a small meeting was held where Magnus was also involved. It had the Secretary of Home, Tom. Secretary of Defence and the Prime Minister.

Magnus didn't waste any time with them, "Okay, I won't waste too much time. Take my advice to your heart, NEVER ENTER AFGHANISTAN. Never, no matter what the US tells us, do not agree. I will deal with the Soviet Union, they are losing power, weakening each day. They are desperate, but fools don't know that there is a reason why Afghanistan is called the Graveyard of Empires.

"I will not allow that peaceful and beautiful nation to be used by stronger nations and turned into a deadland. (He's talking about Afghanistan before the American and West funded various terrorist groups.). Just stay back and watch,"

Yes, he only needed them to wait and watch. He was playing big hands in the United States, it was going to have an election next year, and he would not help any party that was not already under his grip.

...

Buckingham Palace,

Magnus was in office, Elizabeth was also there, sitting. There stood only one man, it was Charles.

Magnus sighed and slammed his table, "I told you to stay careful. So why were you seen kissing a girl who is just 18 years old? Look at yourself, you look like a man who is 60, not 31. All your careless acts have caused shame to the crown. I will destroy you if you dare to step on my legacy. Here I am working day and night to change the nation and all you can think about is going to parties. I have decided that you are to head to Belize Naval Base and work there for the coming 2 years. Or, you will have to get married to someone."

"But... you also get seen by people kissing your girlfriend," Charles argued.

Magnus glanced dangerously, "She is the same age as me, I have been dating her for the past 4 years and the public has known about it ever since. My and your case are much different."

Elizabeth sighed, "Magnus is right. Your actions can cause harm to the image of the crown. So, you will have to go and serve in the military. That rank is not just for the show."

Charles scowled, surely not satisfied by this. But Magnus was not going to tolerate the nonsense anymore. "My decision is final, you can leave,"

...

1979 also came to an end with major changes occurring to the world. From the moon base to the invasion of Afghanistan, the calendar was filled with something happening.

However, the biggest things often occur away from the common eyes. Something was happening in the life of a boy that Magnus considered his little brother, The boy was stuck, alone and in fear. He could only hope that somebody would hear his plea before it's too late.

Chapter 436: 436. To The Rescue

On the 1st day of 1980, Magnus got called to Camelot by Duck. He went there confused, the first one to greet him was the excited Duck who licked his face.

"Haha, calm down, boy. What are you doing? Did you miss me?" He asked him.

"Yes dad, I miss you lots and lots. I wanna travel the world with you, so I asked Fawkes to teach me his trick. I learnt it, now I can apparate in fire," Duck excitedly revealed.

This excited Magnus as well, "How far can you apparate? And can you stay hidden after apparating?"

Duck strongly nodded his giant head, "Yup yup... I can go anywhere in the world and... and I can stay invisible. Grandma Martha put some runes on me."

~He looks so excited,~ Magnus thought. He couldn't help but hug Duck's head, "From now on, you and I will be travelling everywhere together. Instead of the apparition, you will take me to places,"

Duck always gets excited about carrying his dad around and feeling involved in the important work Magnus does. So this meant a lot to him. He danced happily, wobbling his tail and tippy-toeing. "Yay... I'm gonna travel with dad..."

"Why don't we roll out right now?" He asked.

Duck took his suggestion. Soon enough, Magnus sat on Duck's back as the big good boy flew across the world, teleporting one after another.

He then brought him to Buckingham Palace's backyard. The triplets loved playing with Duck.

Magnus meanwhile went to his office to meet the Secretary of Sports.

"So, I have a major plan. This could result in creating the United Kingdom as the hub of all sports in the world. I want to start something called the "World Games".

"In this, people will compete in all sports, from small fast walk races to chess, long jump, high jump and others. The goal is to have so many sports that they take four years to take place. Yes, unlike the Olympics where things go on for a month, in the World Games, each week one or two sports will take place. Hence, something will always be going on.

"All of them shall be broadcast on television all year, every year around the world. It will be a constant new sport every day for people to watch. The best of the best shall participate from all countries in the world in these. The prize will be medals with real majority gold, silver and bronze in them. Other than this, the top Play will get 200,000 USD, 2nd will get 100,000 and 3rd will get 50,000."

The Minister of Sports heard about the plane and was left speechless. "Your Majesty, will the Ministry of Sports and Civil Society be handling this?"

"No, democracy is often slow and inefficient. The main focus is to make money here, so I can't let it be handled by a slow system. Instead, my company will be handling it, all I'm going to be needing is the right permissions and subordination by the ministry whenever needed. For example, when there is going to be a marathon, it will be your job to empty the route, when there is to be a bicycle race, you will have to prepare the roads for it. Or when there is going to be a Canoe sprint, you will be clearing the river." Magnus said in an ordering voice.

The minister agreed, "That can be easily done, sir. I will head back and start preparing for it myself."

"Thank you, then." He let him go.

After this, Magnus headed to Sirius' house. He wondered if the guy would like a job. Sirius was a competent wizard after all and having him in one of his companies can be helpful.

But when he arrived there, he scowled, the entire front lawn of his house was covered with leaves, packages and letters. *Knock Knock*

Soon, Sirius opened the door, rubbing his belly and hair. "Oh, has the pompous King lost his way today?"

He simply entered, passing him aside, "I did come to see you. But it seems you were literally living like a dog."

"Hey, don't judge me. I bought a place for myself for this reason only. Anyway, why are you here?" Sirius went to the freezer and took out a firewhiskey bottle.

Magnus found a letter on the coffee table. "I'm here to offer y... wait, is this a letter from Regulus? Did you read it? I told him to contact me once he completes school, it's been 6 months since then,"

Sirius shrugged, "Nah, It came just this morning. I know what it's gonna have, 'Oh dear brother, father has died, please come home... bla bla bla..."

But Magnus opened the letter to read it. Slowly as he did, his brows furrowed, he cursed and slapped Sirius, "You fucking fool, you had one brother and you turned your back at him. DAMMIT! CALL KREACHER RIGHT NOW!"

Sirius frowned and looked at the letter. Immediately his heart skipped a beat as he read it.

"Dear brother,

Even if you'll never read this, I still want to leave something behind for you. I am probably dead if you read this. Since my 5th year, I was forced by our mother to join the order of Death Eaters and bear the Dark Mark. I hated doing anything for them.

I found out recently what the dark lord has done. He possibly made a Horcrux to be immortal. I am not sure if it is the only Horcrux he made but I hope that it is.

I will destroy it, to end the life of Voldemort and this mission will probably cost my life.

Kreacher will know everything. He was there when Voldemort hid his Horcrux. That's why I will take Kreacher with me. I hope that nothing will happen to him. He helped me write this letter without alerting the Dark Lord.

Sirius, I want to tell you that you always were my brother, even when our mum disowned you. You were right with everything you said and with everything you did. I couldn't stand that we always fought on opposite sides.

Me: Slytherin and You: Gryffindor.

I never wanted to be a death eater, but our mum insisted on it. She was really proud when I had finally gotten my dark mark. She was proud to have a bloody murderer in the family.

I was never proud, though big brother Magnus was always there to ensure I didn't fall to the wrong side. But before I knew it, I was thrown into it. I tried to get out, but the cost would have been our mother's death. They have already killed father due to a small mistake I made. Yes, he was murdered, by those he was ready to murder.

I know I can't undo my doings, but I hope I can make up at least a bit.

I want to ensure the end of the dark lord. Sirius, I hope you can forgive me.

Sincerely your brother,

Regulus Arcturus Black"

"What the hell is a Horcrux? And... KREACHER!" Sirius's eyes were watery, he was enraged.

Kreacher appeared immediately, looking weak and half-dead. He sneered at the sight of Sirius, "Why has the blood-traitor master called me?"

Magnus stepped in, "Krecher, as the King of Wizards, I command you, tell me where Regulus is so I can save him,"

Kreacher turned around, his ugly face immediately turned happy. Magnus was popular among all non-human sentient species. Especially the elves as he brought rights to them. Kreacher kneeled, "AH... Merlin's descendant. Kreacher is... oh yes, Lord Regulus, my master, so brave, so strong. He..."

Magnus walked away, "You waste too much time. No, no need, I know where he is. Sirius, are you coming or will you once again leave behind one good family member that is left?"

Sirius waved his wand, quickly a coat appeared on his body. "Let's go,"
