Later, they returned home. It seems Sirius knew he was gonna get his ass whooped so he decided to first have fun and then go back. He stayed at Magnus' home that night too. There were enough rooms anyway.
With the big crowd there, Grace cooked a big tasty meal for everyone. She rarely cooked these days anyway because Abe and George would get angry at her.
"I heard you started college. God, you're just 12. What's the rush? Enjoy your life a little. I'm sure at 12 Adam here was still eating sand." Grace talked to Bobby.
"Hey... I didn't eat sand at that point, I ate chalk." Adam corrected her, making everyone laugh.
"Thank you for worrying about me, aunty. But I enjoy doing what I'm doing. That's why I'm still so focused." Bobby replied.
"What about your dad? Is he okay now? How is his cancer treatment coming along?" Adam inquired.
"Thanks to the various health potions Severus and Ragnar gave me, he's recovering very well. But there are no anti-cancer drugs out there, and he's not at a stage when chemotherapy would be needed. But the various drugs helpful for cancer treatment cost a fortune. We're able to afford them now since we are decently successful. I feel sad for those who are not able to afford these." Bobby sadly told them.
Grace patted Bobby's head. "Don't be sad, Bobby. I'm sure in the future they will cost much less. It's just that all the companies that develop these medicines pour a lot of their money into research and development. And when they finally make it, all they can think about is maximum profit to get back the research funding and more money."
Magnus nodded and started, "But the world is indeed changing. Generic drugs are becoming much more popular. The US, India and a few more European countries have started pushing for the production of such drugs as soon as the original patents expire. But, many companies are too greedy and they keep on renewing their patents by calling it new research with little changes.
"Hmm, maybe I should force them to sell me the patents, they are concerned about the research cost right? I can offer them to pay the research price and get a co-ownership of patents. I will produce them at a cheaper rate and undercut them, taking over the whole market and making more money than them by reaching to the masses."
(￣▽￣)
~How does his mind run so fast when it comes to making money?~ Bobby, Ragnar and Adam wondered.
Magnus had not yet told Grace or others that he had bought Medtronics company. Now, maybe it was time to buy a pharmaceutical company too, and he would later combine all these into the best hospital in the world he was going to build. He had even decided the name of the hospital.
Grace lovingly caressed Magnus' hair, "Sweety, if you keep on going like this, I'm afraid people might start calling you God-King later."
Magnus shyly chuckled and thought, ~It does sound cool though.~
"Okay, stop talking now and let's dig in or the food will go cold." Grace quickly ended their discussion.
"MEOW..."
"Chad, I gave you your food, no more for you or you will turn fat." Adam quickly reprimanded the cat.
But then Chad pointed his paw towards Summer, whom Magnus was feeding every once in a while as she sat on his shoulder.
Magnus noticed Chad, "She flys every single day taking my letters to people, she spends a lot of energy and needs more food. What about you? You just sit and turn into a potato."
"Meow Mwa Mew..." Chad muttered something angrily and went to the side.
"Awww... come here, Chad." Grace couldn't see him be sad and called him to her and started feeding him.
Chad started eating while purposefully showing off to Magnus, as if saying, "Look, she cares for me more."
After the sumptuous dinner, all of them gathered in the living room to play truth and dare. They just used an empty bottle to roll it in between.
"Okay, Magnus. Truth or dare?" Sirius asked him.
"Truth," Magnus decided. He wasn't going to choose dare and be forced to do something embarrassing.
"Oh, then tell me, which girl do you like in the school?" Sirius asked. Hearing this question, everyone's ears stood up, especially Grace's.
Sirius was smirking all the while, but then Magnus smirked and Sirius felt like cursing in his mind.
"Well, she is the cutest and the warmest person I know. She always helps me whenever I'm in need and never betrays me. She also listens to me every time. The girl I like the most in the school is..."
Everyone was on the edge of their seats.
"The sweetest girl, my Summer."
*THUD*
Bobby actually fell from his seat, pulling Ragnar too.
"What the hell, that's cheating, you lied," Sirius protested.
Magnus shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not lying, I love my girl Summer, isn't that right?"
Summer quickly jumped close to him and started rubbing her head on his chest.
"But... what about..." Sirius was hoping for him to name Emma.
"Quick, roll the bottle." Magnus hurried and the next turn came. It was now Grace and Adam, with Adam having to either choose truth or dare.
"Ummm... Dare." Adam replied.
Grace smiled, "Ah, my shoulders are hurting, now only if someone was there to massage them..."
Adam jumped into action and started massaging her shoulder.
"For a week." Grace completed what she was saying and now Adam fell back.
"What? One week? Are you sure? I can ask you the same in my turn." Adam warned her.
"Simple, I will not choose dare now," Grace replied with a smile that looked very annoying to Adam.
But he sighed in defeat, "Alright, I guess there is no harm in keeping your queen happy."
They kept on playing the game for a while and then went to sleep. But not all of them decided to sleep. Only Sirius was sleeping, while Bobby was reading some physics book in his room, Ragnar was in his lab making new potions, Grace was in her lab finalising her invention and Adam was working on the new car engine.
Magnus, though, was being trained by Merlin and Arthur. He had swords and needed to use them because he will get the staff only after getting more magically powerful.
"How am I supposed to fight multiple wizards with these swords?" Magnus asked confusedly.
This was something Arthur was proficient in. "First of all, you need to get very good at sword fighting. You need to make your reaction speed inhuman. Back in my days, because I was roaming around with Merlin, we would often have to fight other wizards. How do you think a muggle like me fought them then?
"Easy, the Hope and Despair swords are very useful, especially in a wizard fight. I was so fast that each magical spell they would throw at me would get absorbed by Hope sword and then I would release that same spell on my enemy from the Despair sword, all the while getting so close to them that by the end their head would be rolling under my foot."
*WHISTLE*
"That must look so cool. Then how do I become faster in sword handling? I think my reaction time is already very good." Magnus asked, being pumped now.
"Hehe... but it can be faster. In my time, I had to ask Merlin to make a device for me that would throw nails at me which I needed to stop with my swords. But, you have that room of requirement, you can even practice mock battles there.
"However, just practising won't be enough. To have a high speed of control over the sword, your legs and arm muscles need to be iron-strong, so that they can make your sword move quickly. For this, you will have to drink a few potions and practice daily. 10 kilometres running, 1000 weighted sit-ups, then for arms, you need to do 1000 pushups and 1000 pull-ups. Do this daily if possible." Arthur advised.
Magnus sucked in cold air, "This... isn't that too much? I thought it was 10 kilometres running and 100 of all the others?"
"No, that was just for warmups. This is the real deal. Do you think I was able to defeat dragons so easily? I had to train madly for it every single day." Arthur proudly boasted.
Seeing no other option, Magnus decided to start. "Okay then, let's start with push-ups."
...
Unknown Location,
"My Lord, I saw them with my own eyes. That Magnus is weak. Even a muggle was able to punch him in the face. I believe his strength is his magic, if we can somehow take away his wands and that staff, he will be helpless." A goth-looking Bellatrix talked to Voldemort. Her husband, Rodoplhus, stood beside her with clenched teeth and one less arm.
Voldemort was using the Malfoy manor for now as his headquarters. He had his own big seat here which he used as the throne. Ever since he found out about Magnus, he had come to like the idea of becoming not just the leader of wizards, but their king. He wanted to sit on the throne that would lead the wizards and enslave the muggle filths.
"Bellatrix, my faithful servant. You are indeed right, he is, after all, just a child. But taking away his staff is not so easy, because we are yet to know where he keeps it. For us to take it, some of us might have to sacrifice their lives." Voldemort monotonously spoke from his big chair.
Bellatrix quickly knelt, "My Lord, I am ready to give up my life for you."
Voldemort went forward and helped Bellatrix get up, "No, Bellatrix, you are a pureblood. You are far too important for me to be left to die. No, you will have bigger use for me in the future. For now, we have enough half-blood followers to shed their blood."
Bellatrix's eyes shined with joy from the touch of Voldemort and his words for her. She was ecstatic and wanted to pounce on her lord but controlled herself.
"Yes, my lord. As you wish." She formally said.
Voldemort moved back to his seat while talking, "We cannot afford more deaths in our main ranks, or we will be the laughing stock for the world. This time, we will plan and execute everything perfectly. That mudblood filth will die this time and to make sure it happens, I will join you... PERSONALLY."
Rodlphus and Bellatrix, along with more death eaters in the room smiled with joy, feeling that if Voldemort goes with them, then there was no way they could not kill the boy.
