Harry Potter: Blood of the Dragon

Chapter 438 - 438. Lure The Rat Out



Chapter 438 – 438. Lure The Rat Out

In Saint Mungo, Dumbledore quickly arrived. He was told by Magnus that this was about Horcruxes. But even before that, Regulus' mother arrived, she was one hell of a screeching banshee.

"LET MY SON GO! How dare you bring him here without my permission, you mudblood," Walburga Black screamed.

Magnus waved his hand, it magically sewed her mouth. "Woman, I want to call you a bitch but I care for Regulus, so I won't call you a bitch."

"She's a bitch, I will say it for you," Sirius barked.

"Now listen, your son nearly died because of your Dark Lord. I saved him, you can ask Kreacher about it. But, that's not the point. The point is, you will sign this paper and make your smart son, Regulus, the new lord of the House Black. Oh, one more thing, if you scream again I will throw you out of this hospital, I really can do that. I own this place," he threatened her.

Immediately, her mouth was freed again and at the same time, a Goblin from Gringotts brought the document for the transfer of the lordship to her. Now, she only had a few options, sign it on her own or be forced. Magnus didn't give any crap about not using Imperius curse on people like her.

She did reject it, "How can you think I would do such a thing? Regulus must first prove that he deserves it."

*Sigh* "Woman, I have a thousand ways I can break you. You're not making it easy for yourself. Fine, you called me Mudblood, the King of Britain. According to the law, that's an offence and for this, I order for all your wealth to be seized. Nobody will get anything now,"

He was being petty, but who cares. He turned to the Goblin, "Pass my order to the Manager, take everything from the Black vault."

The Goblin bowed, "As you wish, your majesty,"

Walburga Black's face turned black. She didn't know that Magnus was close to Regulus. She really thought that now because Regulus was found to be a Death Eater, this is what happens according to the law. "NO! Wait, will you let Regulus go if I sign that?"

"Hmm, I will." Magnus agreed.

With that, the deal was signed. Now Regulus was the lord of house black, all its wealth was his. Walburga Black was then thrown out by the guards. "Now, to get rid of that Dark Mark. Ragnar is coming here soon. In the meantime, Professor Dumbledore, let's go and talk in private,"

In a side room, Magnus spoke with the old man about the Horcruxes. "Do you have any guess how many Horcruxes there are? This is the third one and I honestly have no idea how many more are there."

"I don't. There is no way to tell that, however, there might be someone who does. Lucius Malfoy has been regarded as the successor of Voldemort." Dumbledore said.

Rubbing his stubbled chin, Magnus thought about some sort of a plan, "Hmm, it seems we will need to hatch up some plan to lure him in. What's his most vulnerable spot?"

"Name? The only thing he has left is his last name. And a pureblood wizard is always proud of his last name. Even I am proud of it." Dumbledore sounded like he himself was not sure about this.

But Magnus agreed, "To be honest, I too am proud of my last names, all three of them. Okay, here's what we're going to do. His life's goal is to kill me, we're going to lure him out. Nobody in the wizarding world knows how strong I have gotten. If I were to fight a thousand werewolves now, I can easily beat them in five seconds, heck even if there were ten thousand I can easily beat them.

"I truly have become the strongest wizard alive, although I don't know how strong you are, professor. Anyway, I will publicly start saying bad things about the Malfoy family, smother his name and purposefully try to show myself as someone weak. When the time is right, I'm sure he will show up. He must be very frustrated."

"What do you need Hogwarts to do?" Dumbledore asked.

"I want you to publicly reveal that all Death Eaters who are graduates of Hogwarts are getting their graduation certificates removed and deemed invalid. Their names are being removed from the school dishonourably." He requested. This was sure to anger a lot of the rotten wizards.

"We will need to increase the security of Hogwarts in the near future then. But the plans seem solid. Fine, I will get to it right away. But son, be careful. A lot of people across the world depend on you, be it wizard or not." Dumbledore patted his shoulder.

Dumbledore didn't see Magnus as just his student and a powerful wizard. He shared a family bond with him. So, to him, Magnus was family.

"Hehe, don't worry, old man. I'm still getting stronger each day. I'm sure I can kill Voldemort for good in a year or two. As soon as we get Lucius, we will go on offence." He planned.

By the time their discussion came to an end, Ragnar had already done his work and gotten rid of Regulus' dark mark.

"Are you okay now? Wanna stay in the hospital or go home?" He asked Regulus.

Regulus moved his arms and legs one by one and felt fine. "I think I'm good. Just my chest hurts a little but the rest is okay. But I'm not going back to that home, my mother can live there alone."

"Good, then you're coming with me. I need a second in command, it's time you start training and make some real money." Magnus offered him a job. The same thing he had offered when he graduated.

"I'd work for you for free," Regulus slowly got up.

"Haha, boy, don't say stuff like that, or my capitalistic alter ego might just accept that. Let's go. You've never met my little siblings, have you? They are the cutest little gremlins, I'm telling you. Bye Sirius, Professor. Let's go, Rag." He waved at the non-invitees.

He put his palm on Regulus' shoulder while Ragnar held his. *WOOSH* He apparated away.

Immediately a nurse came in, "Oh, where did Mr Black go?"

"Home, why?" Sirius asked.

"The bills, they are yet to be paid. Mr Pendragon selected the Supreme Premium service, so the cost is 420 Galleons. Are you going to be paying?" the nurse wondered.

Dumbledore and Sirius glanced at each other for a second. Noticing the two won't pay, the nurse sighed and walked out, "It's fine, Mr Pendragon owns the place after all."

"FUCK! So much money just for being in the Hospital? Is Magnus ripping people off?" Sirius scowled. He was rich but not as much as the Heir of the Black family. Hence, he knew the value of money.

Dumbledore rubbed his long beard, "Look around, Sirius. This room is filled with all kinds of luxuries. A couch for families, television, all you can eat stocked freezer, room service and whatnot. He's just using his capitalistic model and I know a fair amount of people who would pay this much money."

"Bloody capitalists," Sirius cursed as he also left.

Magnus deployed his best mouthpiece to smother the name of the Malfoy family. Rita Skeeter may have turned into a top-class writer, with two dozen best selling books about Magnus, she was still the same old bitchy bitch at heart.

So she started pumping out news articles with random pen names, "The shame of Wizarding Britain when a Malfoy tried to seduce the British Queen,"

"Does Lucius Malfoy sleep with Voldemort? Taboo Love?"

"Is Lucius Malfoy without Manhood? History tells us that might be the case,"

"Are the deformed snake and blonde snake slithering together?"

"Voldemort and his harem of men,"

"Lucius Malfoy, the Dog that chews more than it can digest,"

"Sources from Ministry says, Lucius was most gentle with handsome boys."

"Thief of the Century, how Lucius Malfoy stole from Hogwarts fund."

All these were just a few family-friendly headlines of the articles she wrote. There were many more vile and ugly articles that could not be read in public. But one thing was clear, the Entire Wizarding Britain and even the world to some amount was talking about how crazy and dumb the Malfoy family is.

At the same time, the news from Hogwarts came. All Death Eaters were dishonourably renounced of their graduation from the school. The school said that it was ashamed to be the one to teach them. Lucius Malfoy was said to be the worst student to have ever studied in the school.

Albania,

There were a few organisations that reached everywhere. The His Majesty's Revenue Service and Magnus' newspapers. When the papers reached the camp of Voldemort, the intended person finally saw them.

Lucius was fuming over the articles written. He initially thought that this was a campaign against him, but then articles about all Death Eater families started to come. Still, the Malfoy family got it worse.

"My Lord, please allow me to go and silence this." He requested with Lord Voldemort.

Voldemort had by now healed from his last battle a few years ago. Not just that, he was somewhat more powerful with the resources he used in these years. All of it was aimed at a duel of judgement with Magnus.

"Calm down, Lucius. I can tell you, King Magnus is behind this. He has finally decided to come after us. But worry not, as soon as I deal with this prophecy, I will go after him." Voldemort spoke in a hissing voice.

"M-My lord, why do you call him King Magnus now? He's mudblood," Lucius asked, angry at the show of respect to his enemy.

Voldemort laughed demonically at that, "Hahaha, son. You still have a lot to learn. When the enemy is strong, you must respect his achievements and strength, because ignoring it and underestimating your enemy can be fatal. Magnus has achieved so much in just 18 years of his life. It's commendable. But, it is worthless in front of a true Dark Lord, my power is supreme. Even Dumbledore will lose from now on."

Lucius, however, didn't feel very excited. He had been hearing Voldemort shouting and laughing for years now and they had done nothing but stay holed up in the jungle. ~He promised me vengeance and he hasn't been able to. I have to get it myself… It seems.~
