Chapter 388: Goals
The world was shocked a week later, assassinations were happening like it was a simple matter of eating bread. First, Soviet General Secretary dropped dead, then the Minister of Defence.
It brought mayhem into the Soviet sphere of influence as a lot of power-hungry men instead of focusing on who killed their leaders focused more on rising through the ranks.
Among them was a man named Vladimir Putin, who became the youngest ever Minister of Defence after the death of the previous one. There were many old bones that wanted that position, but for some reason, they took their names back.

London,
“I don’t even know how many times I have been here,” Magnus muttered, as he was wearing a facemask and dark glasses with a cap. He and Emma had come to the zoo as she wanted to see more animals.
“I like it, I have never been to a zoo before, and these animals are so new to me. So cute as well, look at that majestic Gorilla.” She pointed to a handsome Gorilla, calmly sitting under a tree.
Magnus agreed, “Of course, Gorillas are awesome. Come, let’s go and see the lions, I befriended one the last time I was here.”
“Lead the way, my Snow White,” Emma teased and grabbed his arm tightly.
Slowly, they arrived at the reptile area, snakes, lizards, all kinds of creatures were here. But Magnus heard the guys.
“OH!”
“I CAN SMELL IT!”
“Our king is HERE!”
The Komodo dragons suddenly plastered their faces on the glass wall to see outside, one by one they analysed everyone and in no time found Magnus.
“AMAZING! We have a QUEEN AS WELL!”
*sniff* “Grandpa, I saw it finally, our queen,” one of them got a bit too emotional.
Emma noticed the strange lizards and walked to their cage, “Aww… they are looking at us, Mag. So cute,”
“I can hear them talking, Emma. They see me as their king and you as their queen for some reason. This has been going on ever since I was 10. You know what, I’m just gonna give them freedom today.” He decided and quickly called the staff to buy these poor lizards and let them free in Camelot.
He paid the zoo a few dozen thousand pounds and easily got them. “You all, from now on you shall live on my secret land. Go and spread your religion.”
“MY KING!”
“YOUR COMMAND IS MY DUTY!”
Emma chuckled, “They really love you.”
“I wish humans were also loving like these. The world could’ve been better. Anyway, let’s continue.”
…
Adventures of Duck,
Duck flew past over the United States without finding anything worth stopping for. His next stop was China, across the Pacific Ocean. Thankfully, there were enough islands for him to stop and rest.
He took a bath in a few volcanoes of Hawaii. Then stopped in Guam and looked around at the US Military fooling. Then he reached Beijing.
It was a city like any other low-income country. Too much noise, people and construction going on. He knew there was no way he’d be able to find dragons here, so he flew inwards.
The green mountain, lush valleys, full of natural life, animals, trees, and small rivers. It was too beautiful. The fresh air hitting his face was calming to his mind and body.
~No wonder they call it mystical east.~ Duck thought.
He saw a few magical beasts and asked them where Dragons live. He was told the name of a forbidden valley. A lot of Chinese dragons live there.
So he flew straight into there, not knowing it was a heavily guarded and protected region. The Chinese wizards loved and respected their dragons and had a mutual understanding going on. That they will keep their habitat protected and in return dragons were to give their dried fallen scales, hair and teeth to the wizards.
*WOOSH*
Duck landed in the middle of the valley, he was much bigger than any dragon in history, so even other Chinese dragons got scared.
“Woah, you all look so different, tiny legs and wavy body.” Duck exclaimed in awe.
“Who are you, young man?” An old dragon asked him in their dragon language.
“Oh, my name is Annihilus Grant Emrys Pendragon. I am 6 years old, nice to meet you, gramps.” Duck respectfully introduced himself.
The old red-scaled dragon laughed, “Haha, what a good child, I am Hakumo, our species is called Chinese Fireball. We are not like other dragons, we don’t mind sharing the territory of our kinds and the wizards say we are smarter than normal dragons.”
“Ooh, my dad says I am very smart as well, I scored full marks in my maths test last month and got a lot of praise.” Duck babbled.
“I do not know of the words you speak of, son. Why did you come here? The wizards might catch you.” Hakumo warned him.
But Duck puffed out his chest, “I am very strong, and I am on an adventure to see the world and meet other dragons. I am looking for species that look like me. I also want to learn from other dragons,”
“I have travelled my fair share of the world myself but a dragon like you I’m seeing for the first time. About learning, I can teach you how to breathe fire from your nose.” Hakumo suggested to him.
“Fire from my nosy?” Duck quickly imagined himself looking angrily and whenever he exhales he breathes fire from his nose. ~I will look awesome.~ he thought and strongly nodded. “Please teach me,”
“Good boy, come with me, you can take my daughter’s room, she has already mated and left with someone else.” Hakumo invited him.
…
Because of how dangerous Duck looked, the people designated to protect the Forbidden valley got serious about neutralising this threat. They all issued a command and gathered around to plan for the mission.
“Zhou, you will take the lead with the members, we must stop this new dragon before he kills ours. Be careful, we have no idea what species it is and from its size, it seems to be a few decades old.” the department chief was ordering his people.
*WOOSH*
A man on a flying sword arrived just then with a document, “Here, orders from the central wizarding committee.”
The man read it, it had the description of Duck and information that he will arrive here soon, and not to worry as he is Wizard King Magnus’ dragon, named Duck.
“Go back to your post, boys, it’s just a normal guest,” He quickly ordered the men, then himself went inside the colony to see what was going on. The moment he saw how sweetly the new dragon was acting, he just chuckled and left.
~He’s even tamed dragons, truly, Merlin’s blood is crazy.~ he thought.
…
Back at Magnus’ home.
“Do you think you will become the Head Boy?” Ragnar asked him.
“Huh, not only will I become the Headboy, my girl here will become the Headgirl.” he proudly replied, not an ounce of uncertainty in his words.
Just then, Maximus chimed in just because he wanted to feel included in big people’s talk, “Yes yes, brother and sis will do a good head job.”
They just looked at the boy’s innocent face, which didn’t have a hint of understanding of the word he just spoke.
“Maximus, did you do your counting studies?” Magnus quickly changed the topic.
…
Severus’ house,
Severus Prince, now very rich because his grandparents died, leaving him to become the lord of the Prince family. But, all this didn’t bother him, what did bother him was that he had no idea what he wanted in his life.
The initial years of his schools were filled with the desire of having Lily, to appear good to her he worked harder every day. But, now that she was gone, he had no idea what to do.
“Am I so pathetic I can’t even get over a useless girl?” he talked to himself.
Being with Magnus and Ragnar was like constant pressure on him, as both boys were making progress in whatever they did, but his progress was slowing down, each new creation took more work and time. It annoyed her a little, but the fact he had no place to use that talent was worse.
“What are you thinking, dear?” his mother arrived back home from work. She ran a potions shop opened by Severus.
“Mother, what do you want to see me as in the future?” he asked her directly.
Eileen Prince was taken aback by this sudden question, but she did answer, “Ummm… maybe the headmaster of Hogwarts?”
Severus’ eyes widened at this suggestion, he stayed silent for a while as he thought subjectively. The position was not easily attainable, it required a lot of abilities and the right mindset. But the fact it was so challenging was the best motivation. “Fine, I will become the headmaster, mother. Let’s eat now.”
