1988 was the year Magnus had a secret meeting with the Ministers for Magic, Presidents of magical communities and other leaders from around the world. It was the first of its kind, as even in the ICW these heads don't come. ICW is more like an independent organisation for all wizards, it does not have members that represent a particular region.
He had pretty much brought the entire world together, now it was time for the wizarding world to come together. Magnus's dreams of turning the planet into one giant rich civilisation with a world economy were impossible without Wizard's help. After all, the key to being rich came from stability across the world and more resources, these resources could only be brought from space.
While muggles were amazingly good with technology, wizards with their magic were extremely helpful in some circumstances and they were physically stronger than any human.
In a secret undisclosed location, Magnus tried to talk them into cooperating. "The new world is not defined by borders, at least that had been the case with us wizards. If we look just a century ago, there were no specialised country-based wizarding organisations. Wizards were free to go wherever we wanted, work and live.
"But now, just like the muggles, we have divided ourselves. There is no meaning to the words American Wizards, British Wizard or Chinese Wizard. We are all one single entity because we come from the same history.
"We were persecuted, burnt, killed and hated, we went into hiding and tried to keep to ourselves. As good of an idea as it may have sounded back then, the current reality speaks a different story. While the muggles progressed with technology, wizards regressed into a conservative backward society. You can take the finest example from the previous pure-blood supremacists.
"I have said this before in the ICW, we need to join hands to keep the world safe and united. Wizards if work together can achieve more than we have in the past millennia. So I recommend that ICW be turned into a wizard version of the United Nations. A better working one."
Magnus gave his suggestions about the betterment of the wizarding world. His main focus was to create employment for the wizards, through ICW, they can hire wizards from around the world. Magnus was anyway the biggest employer.
The meeting was not very successful, Magnus did not have control over all of them. Some agreed, some asked for time and some outright rejected the idea because they would have to give up some of their powers. But in the long run, they will join too, because if they want the riches, joining was the only way.
...
It was June of the same year. His siblings were back home, now they had just completed their 3rd year. Being 13, a lot of changes have taken over them. They looked much more mature and smarter. But they still had some baby fat on their faces.
"WE'RE HOME!" The three shouted as soon as they entered the home. Although they had a giant castle in Camelot, they had divided the top floor to be their main housing area. It had a giant living room, kitchen and a few bedrooms. They liked it this way as it made sure they would look at each other's faces every once in a while, otherwise, the castle would have been too much.
Magnus was about to head out to Australia but stopped to greet them. "Haha, how are my munchkins?"
"We're not kids now, big brother." Aurelia protested.
Magnus ruffled her hair, "Is that so? But logically, the age gap between us is the same as before. So that means that relative to me you have not grown at all."
She raised her hand to argue, but Magnus was not wrong at all. "Ugh... why do I forget you are smarter than me,"
Magnus laughed and hugged her head, "It comes with age, dear. Now go and change your clothes. Clem and Max, you too. We are going out for dinner tonight. It's time we show Athena to the world, they are going crazy and some are even saying that Athena does not exist,"
"I want chocolate dumplings," Maximus requested.
"Sure, you can eat whatever you want, boy. We will have a whole team of chefs working for us. Clem, do you want anything special?" He asked her. Knowing she was a quiet child, he always tried to bring her into conversations.
"Um... anything will do, big brother. But... I won't mind some Lasagne." She sheepishly answered.
"Great, Lasagne it is then. Severus and Narcissa will also be joining us with their son. The boy is 8 years old now, I hope he turned out well." He muttered at the end, truly wondering how Draco turned out to be, after all, he'd hate to kill him.
Soon enough, the three were off to their rooms. They were old enough to have separate ones now. Basically, the moment they hit puberty they were given rooms.
"DAD!" Then came Athena, now four and a half years old. Her ashen-blonde hair had grown longer and she looked nothing less than a real princess, which she was.
He picked her in arms, "Oh, what does my princess want?"
"I-I went to school today and learned to make a tower. Will you see?" She asked with the most adorable puppy eyes ever.
Magnus would have stabbed himself if he said no, "Of course, show me."
She wriggled and jumped out of his hold. She ran back into her toy room and brought something along. Her hands were held in front of her, she walked carefully as to not damage her creations, "See, isn't it like a tower?"
It was a Cat's cradle tower. She seemed so proud of achieving this feat and there was no doubt she must have tried hard to get it right. Magnus fawned over her, showering her with praise, "Woah, this is amazing. Your dad really does not know how to make it. Will you teach me?"
She seemed shocked that her awesome father didn't know. She looked left and right to ensure they were alone, "Will you pinky promise not to teach others?"
He crouched down to her level and extended his pinky finger, "Okay, this will be our little secret, now will you teach me?"
A smile that'd put a thousand rainbows to shame appeared on her face. She strongly wobbled her head and shook the pinky finger with hers, "Hehe, anything for daddy dearest. Just do as I do,"
He allowed her to sit on his lap as the father-daughter duo played in front of the fireplace. Wanting to spend extra time with her, he made sure to fail a dozen times.
It seemed to frustrate her as well, "Oh Dad, you are so slow,"
He chuckled, "Not my fault, Athena. I've never done this before."
At that, Athena stood up quickly, her face having a stern expression. *Pat* She patted his shoulder with her tiny chubby hands, "Don't worry, Dad, I will never leave my student,"
*Cough* "Is there a place for another student?" Ragnar's voice came.
"SMELLY-BEARD UNCLE! You spy on us?" Athena quickly hid her threads.
Ragnar's brows twitched, "Not my fault, you were too loud. And this is the living room, anybody can enter here. Also, don't you want another student?"
"Ummm... Okie, but you won't get a free class like dad. You pay," she showed her palm.
Ragnar grunted as he placed lemon candy on her palm. But even after one, she didn't accept him, "This will finish in one day," she said.
Ragnar sighed and added 4 more. This was all her small palm could hold. She cheered up and put them in her pocket carefully. Soon, Magnus and Ragnar sat crossed legged side by side. In front of them, Athena walked left and right, giving them instructions and telling them whenever they made a wrong move.
Two tall, 28-year-old beardy brothers getting scolded by a 5-year-old was the cutest scene one could see in the castle. That's why Dobby was tasked to record such incidents. So he was secretly recording this exchange.
"ARGH! Making potions is so much easier than this," Ragnar grunted in annoyance.
Magnus smirked and this time made a tower as Athena instructed. She was overjoyed and left a kiss on his cheek, she boasted, "Of course, you are not as smart as my daddy. But don't worry, I never leave my students,"
"Oh, teacher Athena, what would I do without you? I am profoundly honoured by your ardent persistence to teach me." Ragnar praised her.
Athena had a confident face and stayed standing in dignity, but then suddenly she jumped toward Magnus and whispered in his ear, "Daddy, what did uncle say?"
Magnus could not control it anymore. He hugged her tight and laughed, "Hahaha... don't mind him, dear, he speaks nonsense. Oye, Rag, how dare you use such tough words."
Ragnar slid closer and ruffled Athena's hair, "Forgive uncle then, I am too stupid to realise you were still learning. By the way, do you want to learn how to make lemon candies?"
\(≧▽≦)/
She quickly got away from Magnus and jumped onto Ragnar like a little monkey. "YES! You're the best, Uncle Rag!"
Magnus shook his head in silence as he stared daggers at Ragnar. They both fought mentally, ~That's bribery, you bitch,~
~Haha, then cry about it, your fatass majesty. I'm off,~ Ragnar got up, still holding Athena in his arms, then took her to his lab.
