"What are you doing, stepbrother?" Ragnar asked.
For some reason, Magnus felt a chilling sensation run down his body, "Don't, don't say that ever again, it feels so weird."
"Pfft... what's wrong? You really are my stepbrother. Anyway, why are you fiddling with that time-turner?" Ragnar inquired.
Magnus was sitting beside his table, a small magnifying lens connected to his eye so he could see things closer. "I want to understand the principles on which this thing works. I'm wondering if there is a way to create magical spells that can affect time. Since we already have the Reparo charm, that's like bringing an object back to its past form."
"Don't mess with that stuff man, who knows what might happen. And seeing your luck, I'm sure you will mess up. Let's go now, it's dinner time." Ragnar left after calling him, heading to Severus' room.
When he uninvitingly entered, he was shocked, this was his first time coming to this room, "Woah... I never expected your room would look like this. I was hoping to see something dark and gloomy, not this."
The room was utterly clean, there was also a white crystal hung on the ceiling which was emitting a lot of warm white light, making the room look even better. The curtains were light green, there was a clean Potion's table.
"You should see my room, I don't even know what's where, I just accio a dozen times and once in a while the spell works and I get what I want," Ragnar said, jumping on Severus' bed.
"Why are you here? There are still 5 minutes until dinner, shouldn't you be watching those dirty magazines?" Severus scowled at him.
Ragnar's brows twitched, he needed to make his image better, or else everyone will think he's always masturbating. "Haha, I have cut down on those things, instead I work more. Let's go, oh, you also need to stop Magnus, fool is messing with a Time-Turner."
"He will never listen to me," Severus didn't even bother.
...
Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test (often abbreviated N.E.W.T.). These were the exams too important for every Wizard that was still studying in the school. Most wanted to get a NEWT certificate in at least 5 subjects because the Ministry of Magic only accepted Auror applicants with at least five N.E.W.T.s with top grades of either 'Outstanding' or 'Exceeds Expectations'.
Magnus was going to give the exams in all 10 subjects he cleared in his O.W.Ls. His main focus, for now, was to help his dear Emma get good grades in as many subjects as possible.
"Umh... Come on, stop fooling around and teach me seriously," Emma complained.
"It was you who sat on my lap. How do you expect a lion to behave when the meat comes to him on its own?" He cheekily replied.
"Hmph..." She got up and took another seat beside him. "Fine, my fault. Let's continue,"
Magnus was going to spend nearly every night with Emma until the exams, though on most nights studying was followed by intensive exercises, at least it was guaranteed that Emma will not be gaining weight anytime soon.
...
July 1977,
Magnus headed back to home as the Christmas holidays started, and he invited Emma and her parents for Christmas and stay there until the New Year. This way the two families can get to know each other better.
Ragnar was staying in the school, he wanted to continue to work on a few projects of his and would come home when Christmas came. This left Magnus alone to entertain his highly energetic 4-year-old siblings. Clementia was still a calm and silent girl with heightened emotions but at least she was not as unstable as before. She would play with her siblings all the time.
"Big brother, I wanna see a movie... please please take us to the theatre." Aurelia requested him.
"Hmm, we have a full-sized movie theatre in here, dear, we can order any movie we want, even the unreleased ones. Why go out?" he asked her.
She pouted, "Umm... no, the real fun is when there are people."
"Haha, fine. What about you two? Want to watch a movie? I think the new Star Wars Episode 5 just got released." He remembered.
"Yes, I love Star Whores! Oh, uncle George came one... ummm three days ago, he says he will make me Ana-Analin Skytalker." Maximus chimed in excitedly.
"Max, it's Star Wars, and the name is Anakin Skywalker. Yes, you are a blonde, good looking boy, by the time the movie is made you'd be about 10 years old." Magnus corrected him.
He and George Lucas had sat together a long time ago and had planned the entire extended universe and the timeline of the past and the future. The next trilogy was going to be a prequel. It will show the intricate Jedi Order, the Dark Side, some Politics and lots of beautiful fights and scenes for the eyes to feast on. The only problem was romance. Magnus had told George to hire the best romance writer he could find instead of messing the story with bad cheesy lines.
He next went to the garage to get a car, he'd be driving himself. As she was already 17, he had a learner licence. But when he entered the big building, he was taken aback, there were dozens of cars, modern and old. "Dad went overboard with his love for cars."
He looked around, "Which one?"
The three gremlins walked around, their height restricted them from looking into most of the big cars, so they were limited to a few sports cars. "THIS!"
It was an old 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing coupe. It was in mint condition and looked absolutely beautiful. Magnus went to the key box and soon entered the car, "Get in, what are you waiting for?"
"RADIO RADIO RADIO!" Aurelia demanded music like a loudspeaker.
"Fine, here we go." He turned the radio on, and immediately a new song called Mr Blue Sky started playing. The three wiggled themselves in their seats while looking outside.
He went to the MagicMade Studios, which also had a few theatres for the general public to watch movies in. These few theatres had the biggest and clearest screens, at the same time the best sound systems.
However, then something happened. Magnus's Dragon sense, which he named after Spider-Sense from Spiderman, started tingling. He felt as if he was being watched the whole time, from the moment he stopped the car to the moment he entered the movie hall. Even when watching it the sensation never left.
After the movie they went shopping, even there he felt this. It was strange because malicious intentions always felt different. ~What the hell is going on?~ he wondered.
No matter where he went, a pizza shop, the mall, anywhere in the public space he felt strange. The feeling only completely disappeared when he reached back home. He took out his phone and called Ted to ask what was happening. Eventually, the man arrived with, as always, a file.
"What's going on? Why do I feel threatened everywhere I go? It is as if a lot of people around me want me dead." He asked directly.
Ted opened the file and put it in front of him, "Do you have any idea how much the bounty is on your head? It is 230 Million US dollars(more than 1 Billion in 2021)."
"What the... that's a lot of money. Who is funding it? Voldemort?" Magnus asked him, shocked apparently.
"No, Voldemort can't do this. Magnus, your enemies aren't just in the wizarding world anymore. You are trying to change the world order, a lot of powerful and rich people are mad at you and want you dead. Every year they increase the bounty on your head, but now it has become so much that nobody can ignore it, 230 million sounds too juicy for even the smartest assassin." Ted explained to him.
But Magnus was confused, "Who in the hell is the enforcer of this bounty? They gotta be a pretty powerful criminal organisation if they want to kill me, and don't they know how powerful I am as a wizard? I literally took over North Korea in a week,"
Ted nodded and turned the page of the file, "They are indeed a huge and old organisation, and they know about your background, but to them that makes you even more of a valuable target, because if they can kill you, they will be able to send a message of their superiority to all. They are called The High Table."
