There was a hiss of an intake of breath from all the purebloods in the hall when Magnus named the reprisal amount, fifty thousand galleons was no small amount, and Draco looked like he wanted to faint at the mention of such an amount.
He'd been down to the Malfoy family vault and knew they had more than enough to pay it but it was still no small amount.
He knew his father would be less than pleased with him putting such an amount on the line but he had little choice in the matter now Magnus had played him into this and if he backed out now it would only look worse on his house.
"Agreed!" Draco states reluctantly as the air shimmered around them as golden strands of magic seems to manifest which signalled that magic had bound them as the agreement had been made, there was no backing out now.
As the magic faded Snape came forward again and placed his hand on Draco's shoulder and quickly began to lead his godson away and out of the hall obviously going to his office so that Draco could contact his father to inform him of what had just transpired.
Snape giving Magnus a wary look as they left.
As soon as Malfoy led the hall whispers began to break out all around the hall about what had just happened.
Those closes to Magnus began asking him questions.
"What was that for!" Ron yelled angrily
"Why did you do that?" Harry asked worriedly
"What was all that? What was that bright light, you didn't cast a spell? What's all this about magical houses?" Hermione began to ask one question after another from the other side of the table.
Magnus let out a sigh, his serious attitude dropping as he saw Daphne and Tracey come rushing over to him along with Professor Flitwick who was scampering behind them as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Magnus that was awesome!" Tracey smirked.
"Tracey no it wasn't, Magnus what were you thinking!" Daphne began to berate him.
"Mr Black," Professor Flitwick spoke cautiously, "was that absolutely necessary, honour duels are not something to be trifled with."
Magnus sighed, "yes Professor I am, it was something that needed to be addressed now. I've been putting it off but it would have happened sooner or later."
"If I may, I'd like to request that you be the judge for the duel and take care of the formalities for it, I understand that an auror has to be present for any honour duel to make sure that everything is by the book."
The small Professor nodded, "very well Mr Black, I will gladly be the judge to make sure that things run smoothly and will contact the DMLE to have an auror come to oversee as well, Saturday after lunch wasn't it?"
Magnus nodded, "Yes sir!" He said before looking to Daphne, "I was thinking that I needed to deal with Malfoy now rather than later, it was going to happen eventually Daphne, and I intend to see this through."
"But what if Malfoy called his father to be his champion like I warned you he could." Daphne stated clearly unpleased by being surprised by this sudden turn of events, she didn't like being surprised.
"If Malfoy wants to be a worm and have his father fight in his place, then I will deal with it," Magnus replied plainly, "I have already accounted for that."
Daphne seemed to huff but didn't say anything more on the subject, Magnus knew he would be hearing more from her about it later though, she wasn't the type to just let things lie.
Magnus looked to Tracey next with a smirk, "thank you, I'm glad I could provide you with some entertainment during your dinner," he said and gave a little mock bowl making Tracey snort, Daphne rolled her eyes and Professor Flitwick chuckled.
Looking to Hermione next, Magnus cleared his throat, "Miss Granger, if you have any questions about what just happened, please direct them to Professor Flitwick or any pureblood students, I'm sure they will be able to answer any questions for you."
He instructed her, knowing that she would likely have a hundred questions for him before he looked to Harry.
"Cousin, relax, I already had a beef with Malfoy, I saw he wanted to start something with you and stepped in to settle things with him first, he's a problem I would have sorted out anyway. I just chose to do it now so to save you from having to deal with him."
Magnus explained but Harry didn't look all that convinced, "oh and congratulations on making seeker by the way." Magnus added grinning.
Inwardly Harry was grateful for Magnus' actions, he was going to just turn down the duel anyway, after all, he only had three days schooling under his belt, what did he know about fighting duels
But Magnus was in the same position as him and he seemed so confident about things, he didn't know what to think and could only sigh before saying, "thanks."
Magnus only glanced to Ron before rolling his eyes, "piss off Weasley, this has nothing to do with you," he said plainly before turning away.
"What!" Ron replied indignantly. But Magnus just ignored him and he began walking down the hall heading for the exit.
"Where are you going!" Daphne called to him.
"It's still dinner time!" Tracey called as well.
"To the dorms, incase it escaped both your notices I have a duel to prepare for in just under two days." Magnus called back as he left the great hall, and the whispering doubled as he left.
--------
Magnus quickly began making his way back to the Ravenclaw dorms his mind began to race as he began running over everything that just happened and began running over the mental plans that he had already formed for this situation.
'Erebus, I've done it, I've challenged Malfoy to the duel,' Magnus mentally called out in his mind as he sent a copy of his memories over their link.
