Chapter 143 - 143. Famous Grace
Chapter 143 - 143. Famous Grace
At a random half-blood wizard's home,
"Dad, dad... is King Magnus really the most powerful wizard?" a 6-year-old boy excitedly asked his father while reading the book with him on his lap. ? ?
The man smiled and caressed his head, "Of course, he's the greatest. He has already punished a lot of bad wizards who hurt people. He also helps the needy."
"REALLY? Then... I want to be like him when I grow up." the boy cutely announced.
"Really? What will you do with all that power?" The father asked.
The boy showed a toothy smile, "HEHE... I will eat as many candies as I want."
...
In another home,
A family of female Muggle-born wizard were seated on a big couch. Each had a book in their hand. Her husband was also a muggle-born and they had 2 kids together. There were also their parents in the house. Although they came from a decently rich family, they were still afraid for their lives.
"This... I was asked to join this Army of Merlin a few days ago. I heard they work for King Magnus. I should have joined them... he's the right side to choose for us." the woman said with a tensed face.
Her husband nodded, "Yes, I've heard about his majesty so much. Even saw him once in the Diagon Alley. He even talks to house-elfs like they are his friends. And even the Goblins respect him. He's the right person to choose, that's for sure.
Meanwhile, their parents, who were ordinary muggles, were deeply confused. The female wizard's father asked, "Dear, who is this King Wizard? What place's king is he?"
She chuckled, "Dad, he's King Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon. A direct descendant of Merlin and legendary King Arthur Pendragon. He's the 1st in line to the British Throne. In short, he will become the king after Queen Elizabeth." She dropped the bomb, blowing their minds.
"WHAT? BUT... nobody knows about him." her mother asked.
She agreed, "Because he's a wizard. I bet the queen knows and will announce him soon."
"So it's going to be a Wizard King sitting on the throne? I can't help but feel excited about the future." Her father exclaimed like an excited child.
...
In a random Hogwarts' girl's bedroom.
"He's so cool... I wonder if he's single. Ah, I'm in my 7th year... I hope he's into big girls."
...
Dumbledore's office.
He was reading the book too, while drinking a cup of tea and eating some lemon tart. He had just read it fully and finally closed it with a sigh. ~Thank goodness he didn't mention anything about that underwear incident.~
Then he turned to Fawkes, "Fawkes, it seems your second favourite human is going to fight them directly. Help him if someday he needs you."
Fawkes, ignored the old man, he was just blushing and making silly noises. Dumbledore was confused about this state of him, not knowing that Fawkes went to find a mate today, and from his reactions, it seems he found one.
...
12 Grimmauld Place,
Orion Black, the father of Sirius and Regulus Black, was frantically shouting.
"BURN THEM... ALL OF THEM... THIS IS MADNESS! HOW CAN THIS BE PUBLISHED," he raged.
2 house-elfs were seen throwing a lot of copies of the new book about Magnus into the fire.
The same scene could be seen in many of the pureblood houses, because they were directly called out in the book. What was worse was the fact they couldn't do anything to Magnus as he held their necks through Gringotts.
But, there was only one person who was smiling after reading the book. It was Lucius.
With a creepy smug look, he sat by his study table. "Good, the stronger and more famous you get, the more satisfaction I will get at bringing you down."
"A good thought to have. But, do not be blinded by revenge that you fail to see your enemy's strength. Follow me, we have some hunting to do." Voldemort came there. He lived in that house now, using it as his base of operation. Lucius was like a student to him for now.
...
Magnus' Mansion.
"CONGRATULATIONS!"
*PA PA*
Confetti flew in the air as Grace cut the cake that Ted had brought. He had arrived with certificates of Patents. Grace, now was officially the inventor and patent holder of medicine-inducing Balloon Stent. A revolutionary invention that would save the lives of many.
Magnus, Ragnar, Adam and the elfs clapped hands. Summer fluttered her wings and Chad meowed. Everyone was appreciating Grace.
She immediately cut the cake and picked a piece to feed someone. Adam was on her right, with his mouth open. Grace just went halfway to him and then turned to Magnus on her left and fed him the cake.
Magnus chewed on it and asked, "Me first?"
Grace caressed his head, but mistakenly put the cake on his hair too. He shrugged it off, saying he'd just take a bath.
"Well, you are the reason I am able to do this. Not only you motivated me, but you also indirectly funded the research. And even now, if not for Ted, another company would have snatched these patents as they were also researching them but were far behind me." She revealed.
"Which company was it?" He asked curiously.
Ted replied with a knowing smile, "Medtronics,"
~Those good for nothing directors, messing with my mummy even after being owned by me.~ He angrily cursed inside.
"No need to worry now, I solved everything." Ted ensured him.
"YES, he just made a call and they immediately backed down," Grace said with a shock struck face. She was yet to know that Magnus was building a mega-hospital for her, and even owned one of the best cardiological and vascular-related equipment manufacturers, who were soon going to be venturing into the whole field of medical science as money was not a problem now.
Other than this, he was in talks of buying a Pharma company. He wanted the best, and had even decided to sell more diamonds, not as precious as before, but there would be two.
He initially set his eyes on Johnson & Johnson, but it was too pricey, and it was not just a pharma company, it created too many things. So, he turned to another big company, that was emerging very fast as a front runner. It was called Pfizer, and the best part was that it was not yet a publicly traded company. Meaning that if he bought it, it would all be his own.
That night, Abe and George were denied from making dinner, they ordered it from outside. But the two would still check for any poisons in it first.
"Mum, are you going to be famous now?" Magnus asked her.
She nodded, but also looked nervous. "Yes, I gave so many interviews today and they are likely to appear around the world in tomorrow's newspaper."
"Hehe, don't worry, mummy. If any journalist troubles you, just tell Abe or George, they will give them a lesson worth remembering. What about you, dad? How is your research going? You know, Granny Liz is waiting for you to make the news so you can be announced as a prince. Though I'm not forcing you." He asked him and also clarified.
"It's going forward. But creating new things from scratch is not easy, Magnus. I did learn about a worldwide research going on, about lithium-ion batteries. Many companies are in the race to make it and whoever makes it will earn fortunes. But, I am a single person, how can I do something they could not do in so much time?" He said in a defeated manner.
Magnus understood Adam's plight. It was not easy to invent something out of nothing. No matter how much brain you have, there are bound to be things that will be challenging to you. Just like for him it was potions.
He thought about helping his dad somehow.
*NOM NOM NOM*
His eyes fell on Ragnar, happily chomping on the cake as if it was his greatest enemy that he must devour.
"Hmmmm... Dad, what is the hurdle you are facing?" He asked.
"I'm a mechanical engineer, not a chemist. I need someone who knows chemicals like a master." Adam replied.
Magnus once again looked at Ragnar. His face grew a smile and he voiced, "My brother Ragnar, come here."
Ragnar was alerted by the sweetness of his voice. He looked at everyone's faces with doubt. Slowly, he walked to them with his plate still in his hand. "What?"
Magnus put his arm around Ragnar's shoulder, "Dad, do you know, Ragnar is the best potioneer to be born in a century? And do you know what Potioneering is? Mixing of various substances and making something new, although Alchemy is also somewhat close but still different. Anyway, what I'm saying is, Ragnar can be the master chemist you need. He knows about all kinds of chemicals as he plays with them every day."
"I do work with them every day," Ragnar pointed.
"SEE! He can help you, Dad. In fact, he can help you greatly in making it good. What do you say, Rag? Will you help dad?" Magnus asked him.
"Sure, it's not like I got anything important, it's holidays." Ragnar agreed.
*CLAP*
"Magnificant, Dad, best of luck. Ted, come with me, I need to talk to you about business. Mum, you play with Chad and Summer while the ice cream arrives." He said and moved towards his room.
Grace chuckled, "Okay, little boss."
