Harry Potter: Blood of the Dragon

Chapter 334 - 334. Secret Assassination



There was an uproar. Magnus made the world's first cure for depression. And what was making people crazy was the fact that nobody knew where he was. Many of the news channels had set up their cameras at the gates of their house, yet nobody came to make an announcement.

However, the newspapers kept on getting new news, since Magnus had stakes in many of them. They told about how successful it is, that it does not cause any kind of addiction and in fact, it forces the user to stop using it after they are healed of depression. The game was all about the many hormones in the body.

It was revealed that it had gone into phase one clinical trial in the controlled environment of Pfizer lab on the Mother Grace Hospital campus. Easy to say, the major folks interested in this new drug were Hollywood celebs, actors, directors, all kinds of artists, politicians, stock market investors, the entire Wall Street basically.

It was funny how now there were so many fans of not just Magnus but the entire Grant Family that whatever they do they support. Heck, there were some talks that there is a secret cult somewhere in Britain that prays to Mother Grace as an angel sent by god. The Police were still trying to gather more information.

In a recent survey, about 90% of people supported the Monarchy, though only the Grant Family. Meanwhile, 5 per cent tilted towards support, 1 per cent were undecided and 4 per cent said they don't support the Monarchy. The last bit was those NGOs and activists. Nobody takes them seriously. They will cry even if Magnus literally makes every citizen a millionaire.

However, there were few powerful people who had decided to Test Magnus, to see if he should join them or not. For that, they came up with the really stupid plan of trying to hurt Grace and the three little babies.

And what better time than the Christmas Dinner at Buckingham Palace, and since it was the Winter Holidays, Magnus would also be there to attend. After all, he was also going to be announced as the Crown Prince on his 15th Birthday on 15th January.

...

Hogwarts, Headmaster's office

"Magnus, my favourite student, come and take a seat. Want something to eat?" Dumbledore acted a bit too giddy for Magnus' taste.

With suspicion, he asked back, "Umm... what is this about now, professor? I didn't do anything this whole semester. I was busy."

"No, no, it's not about all that. I just called you to hear your thoughts. A one on one conversation." Dumbledore said. He was probably trying to correct the mistakes he made with Voldemort. He had left the boy to himself after bringing him to the school, while he should have continued to talk to him so that he could have changed his radical ideas.

Magnus shrugged, "I'm fine, what about you? How are you going to spend your Christmas? With your brother?"

"My brother and I... we don't get along very well, and since he has his own private life, I can't impose myself on him," Dumbledore replied.

Magnus scoffed, "Oh, I know him, he'd probably just get drunk. You should try to mend your relationship with him, professor, he's the last direct relative you have. And you two are old, who knows which year's winter will be too much for your old bodies."

(ಠ_ಠ)

~Wait, this conversation was supposed to be about him. When did it turn into my family problems?~ Dumbledore realised a problem.

"I will try to talk to him, Magnus, don't worry about me now. Talk about yourself. How are you going to spend your Christmas? I believe with family?" Dumbledore inquired.

Magnus nodded, "Of course, I am going to spoil my three bundles of cuteness and maybe visit the Royal Palace for dinner."

Dumbledore however was scared, "You must not spoil them too much, Magnus. You don't want another spoiled Lucius Malfoy now do you?"

Immediately the scene of his three little siblings appeared in his mind, where they were small and wearing Slytherin robes while proudly proclaiming, "MY BIG BROTHER WILL KNOW OF THIS! HMPH!"

He quickly shook his head to shake that thought off, "NO! Never, I will never allow that to happen. I will spoil them only in a few matters, when it comes to morals, they will be taught by mum herself, after all, if she was able to make me a good guy, she can make them too."

The old man nodded, there was no doubt about that. Grace has done a marvellous job in teaching Magnus about morals.

"Then I feel assured. Well, here, take these. I made these protection charms for your family, knowing how important they are for you, and from seeing all the muggle newspaper, they are important for the world as well." Dumbledore handed him 7 small pouches made of gift wrap.

Magnus looked at Dumbledore's face first to see if there was anything hidden behind this. After all, he knew that sometimes the old man can be pretty foolish in his choices. He ends up creating more damage than good.

"I think I have given them enough protection already," Magnus said.

Dumbledore insisted, "Safety is something that is never enough. The more the better. And these charms will keep them safe from all kinds of harm, be it physical or mental. And no, I did not put anything to track or manipulate you on this. I may have gone slightly senile but not to that point."

Magnus chuckled and took them, "Haha, I see you have done some soul searching?"

"You have to do it when you see a boy decades younger than you doing a better job at bringing peace than your entire life's work." Dumbledore sighingly said.

"I think you just couldn't find the sweet balance better where you should use your absolute strength to crush enemies and where you should ease up. You ended up easing up on everyone, and this only strengthened the enemies who knocked on our doorsteps today." Magnus told him about his evaluation and decided to leave. He needed to pack his bags to head home.

Dumbledore silently stayed seated, apparently looking back at all his memories, seeing where he could have used extra force to make the problems of today disappear. ~I should have gone easier on Grindelwald and reasoned with him. Maybe then Ariana would have been alive. And I should have killed Tom when he first showed his signs of madness,~

...

Magnus arrived at home via apparition from the train station. Emma and Severus also came as this time the holidays started close to Christmas. They were going to the Christmas party as well.

For three days he just messed around and had fun with his friends. They went to Bobby's company and embarrassed him a bit. After that, he got them nice suits and dresses from Kingsman tailors.

Well, the Kingsman chapter was also unique. After how Magnus killed their top agent, they held an internal inquiry, and they hired MEDA for this since they knew MEDA had wizards. So, after a long-secret investigation, both physical and mental, it was found that there were about a dozen people compromised, some allied with Soviets, some with businessmen, some with the United States. In short, none were loyal to the United Kingdom.

They were quickly obliviated about every single thing they knew and their memories were also taken to investigate whom they shared the info with. Meanwhile, Magnus gave them the Kingsman to become his subordinate or stop existing. They had lost their credibility since even their best agent had betrayed them.

After that, they made the decision to become Magnus' subordinate, with the core principles intact that they would safeguard the British Interests. However, Magnus put them as a branch of MEDA. Just more secretive.

Anyway, they headed to Buckingham Palace for dinner. All the big lords and ladies, along with many big businessmen had been invited. The Queen, however, was less of an attraction now, as most just wanted to meet Adam, Grace or Magnus. Though thankfully most people stayed civil and didn't disturb them.

"Mum, try this one, it's tasty." Magnus put pudding on Grace's plate.

"Dear, I will get fat if I eat all this." She complained.

But Ragnar winked and said, "Don't worry, I got you covered. You can enjoy all you want today."

She chuckled, "All right then, I shall indulge myself in the way of fatty foods. You eat some too, Magnus. Emma and Severus, have more. Adam, why are you not eating it?"

Adam frowned, "Magnus, don't you find it strange that only our plates are of a different colour?"

Magnus looked around quickly, everyone had plain white ceramic plates with golden edges, but the ones given to his family had extra patterns on them. He quickly called the security advisor from MEDA and asked him.

"Don't worry, sir. We have dealt with everything. Please enjoy the meal in peace. You will get the detailed report as soon as the dinner ends." The man reported dutifully.

Sighing, Magnus told the same to his father, "Don't worry, dad, it's all been taken care of. I have set 4 layers of security around us. MEDA's wizards are the last layer of defence, and nobody gets past them without getting their brains checked."

However, Magnus did have a look at the queen, sitting on a different table not far from him. And she felt it too, only to wonder what the heck happened now.

Still, Magnus avoided jumping to conclusions, as there were just too many people who wanted to harm him.

...

After the dinner, some events were still being held and people were socialising. At that time he and Severus went to the Kitchen where a MEDA agent was waiting for him. He handed him the file.

"Sir, this is what we found. Your plates were coated with a special frozen poison. It looked like an intricate pattern initially but when it touches warm food it melts and mixes with the food. The waiter who was supposed to bring your for turned out to be a disguised muggle or wizard. But, with some unknown help from inside the Palace, he was able to escape." The agent revealed.

"What kind of poison was it?" he inquired.

"It attacks the brain, sir. It gives a brain haemorrhage and the person dies suddenly due to ruptured veins in the brain. We changed the plates before they even reached you." the agent answered.

"Any ideas on who it was? Was it the Queen... the unknown help?" Magnus asked him straightforwardly.

Severus spoke in denial, saying, "Most likely not. She is not dumb enough to do something like this in her own home. She will be blamed by many. Whoever it is, they probably underestimated your mind, they probably want you to think it's the queen."

*Sigh* "Man, why can't they just attack face to face." He sighed and called Adrian, "Initiate Alert 0. An attempt on my and my family's life was made. You have the permission to knock on any door, search any house or mind you need, go to any corner of the world you need to, I need to know who did it in 24 hours." He ordered on the phone

And so, the nightmare started for a few people who thought their money and power made them supreme.
