Chapter 359: 5th Year Done
If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again
Slowly, as time passed, the 5th year's O.W.L.s came. It was a standardised subject-specific test taken during Hogwarts students' fifth year, administrated by the Wizarding Examinations Authority. The score made by a student on a particular O.W.L. determined whether or not they would be allowed to continue taking that subject in subsequent school years, and whether they might be successful in obtaining a particular job.
For Magnus, it didn't matter, but, to keep a good image, he needed good numbers. Only Potions scared him, however.
To be admitted into a class at N.E.W.T. level, a student first had to achieve an 'Outstanding' or 'Exceeds Expectations' at O.W.L.-level to cope with the upcoming course work, which would be much more advanced.
Successfully completing the O.W.L.s was a sign that the student was trustworthy enough to be a law-abiding citizen who could learn from their mistakes. Thus, any such students who were expelled would be permitted to keep their wands and continue to practise magic, though this would be a sign of disgrace forever tainting their permanent record, as Newton Scamander underwent. If a student fails an O.W.L. and still wishes to retake it, they are held back in that class.
Anyway, the time came, the schedule was in Magnus' hands and he couldn't be more frustrated, "Amazing, potions are on the first day. Well, I'm not even going to try."
"That's the right choice, trying and failing brings more disgrace," Ragnar added.
In the end, Magnus decided to take O.W.L.s in the Study of Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Astronomy, Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Muggle Studies and Transfiguration. He was taking 10 exams out of 12. There was no duelling subject so he couldn't do that.
Ragnar would in fact take 11 exams as he decided not to skip Charms, Transfiguration and DADA. The same was the case with Severus and Emma. The one they were all not taking was Divination.
...
The first test, Magnus didn't even give as it was Potions. Ragnar was called the Potions genius of the century, however. The second was Charms and he was the best at it. The examination was divided into two, theory and practical. Magnus had already memorised all the school syllabus until the 7th year by his 3rd year, so it was not a problem.
For the practical part, each student will have to cast a charm that the 5th year's syllabus has, it can be anything that the examiners can ask. Magnus' turn came later as his name started with M.
When he entered, he saw three old folks sitting behind a table. The room was empty with just one chair in the middle for the student to sit in. He haughtily entered and greeted the three, "Ah, it's been a while, Mr Pogger. How's your wife?"
"She's great, your majesty. Thanks to you, my trouble at the ministry was solved and my wife was able to get the medical aid from Saint Mungo." The old man respectfully said.
He nodded, "Yes, Ministry used to be really corrupt back then. Well, let's start my test. What charm do you want me to cast?"
"Surprise us, your majesty." They said.
He thought about it for a while and then took out a disposable wand. Soon, without him speaking, a blue light came out of it and a humanoid angelic figure with wings formed in the air. It was his corporeal Patronus. Born from his strong feelings of love for his dear mum.
The three examiners were excited to see it, this corporeal was in the same league or even above Dumbledore's which was a magical beast, a phoenix.
"Bravo, and to cast it non-verbally. You are indeed amazing," they clapped and praised him like he was some dictator and they were his minions, hoping to not die by pleasing him.
Honestly, Magnus could cast harder spells, heck, his great Fiendfyre was so strong and huge that it could burn the entire school. But he knew this was enough. With that, he left, knowing he was going to get the top marks.
After Magnus came Ragnar's turn, he also cast a Patronus, but not corporeal. And even this Patronus was cast because he used some secret external help from his new creation, the Energy Crystals. They were made with moon rock.
Emma did the same earlier, however, she had received a lot of training from Magnus in the room of requirement, well... whenever they were able to focus on it other than making out and being horny.
After she had achieved her animagus, it was easy to get a corporeal Patronus. It came out to be a Golden eagle as well. She was on cloud nine when the examiners praised her and even said that they expected this much from the girlfriend of Magnus. This was the first time she found out that the news had spread outside the school.
Severus, meanwhile, shocked the teachers even more by casting his self-made charm, called Muffliato Charm. It fills the ears of any person in the vicinity of the caster with an unidentifiable buzzing sound so as to allow for conversation without being overheard.
The examiners were amazed by his skills and even recommended his spell be added to the school book. But Severus didn't feel proud, Magnus had made spells, invented items with runes and alchemy many times. If anything, he felt he needed to do better.
Slowly, the week passed, all the exams were finished. Finally, all the Hogwarts dwellers took a rest. Teachers suspended classes until the summer holidays started, while Magnus held parties nearly every week. All of these parties had dance nights, they start with funky disco dance, and end with romantic slow dancing, perfect for couples.
However, Magnus didn't rest for a single day, his training with Merlin had started, he was learning the secrets and the uses of Merlin's overpowered wand, that in his own words "could destroy the world if fallen in wrong hands.".
He practised every night in the forbidden forest. His friends knew it but didn't worry, the forbidden forest was not a dangerous place for Magnus. The Centarus were his friends, while the Acromantulas were scared of him.
*Sigh* After a tough exercise, he rested down and looked at the moon in the sky. He brings portraits of Merlin and Arthur with him often, like today.
"You're getting good, kid." Merlin praised him.
Magnus thanked, "Thanks to both of you. Actually, I should thank you two more. Because of the wealth you two left me behind, I am able to do so much. If I didn't have that money, the world would have chewed me and spat me away like a playtoy. I spend 2 billion pounds (nearly 16 billion in 2021) every year on propaganda. In every single country in the world, be it the United States, Yemen, Laos or Peru, my money feeds all mouths that can speak against me. I know, it's a wrong thing to do, I am misusing the capitalistic system, but if I don't do it, others will use the same system to destroy me."
"Woah, how much is 2 billion pounds though?" Arthur dumbly asked.
"Umm... about 800,000 kilos of gold," Magnus replied after calculating.
*WHISTLE* "God damn, Merlin's rotten tits, that's a lot." Arthur cursed, much to the anger of Merlin.
"Shut the fuck up, Arthur, you're the one teaching the kids in school to say crap about me. Anyway, Magnus, the gold we left behind for the inheritor, which is you, and we're just happy you're putting it to good use and we can watch it." Merlin praised him.
Magnus sighed, "Yeah, though I sometimes wonder... a thousand years from now, how will history treat me? Will they call me an evil, capitalistic demon king... or will I be forgotten like you two, as a myth or something."
The two portraits also silently thought about that, as they had no answer either.

Daily Prophet's office,
Rita Skeeter was happy with her life. She had written 5 books about Magnus up until now and all were bestsellers. She had long ago repaid Magnus' debt and now loved working for him, as she realised that the world order depends on his shoulder. She was also a proud member of the Army of Merlin(Not the order).
This year too, she was writing a new book, and this time she was going to add some romance to it, as the dragon now had a dragoness. But first, she was to write an article in the papers. The heading simply read,
"Sorry Girls, The Dragon Is Taken."
[A/N: Here you have it, this is how and why the world media has not chewed him/royal family down, calling him colonialist.]
