Chapter 407: Budapest
Chapter 407: Budapest
Magnus had returned to the school and was going through the final month before the exams would take place. NEWTs were spread throughout the whole month of June.
Emma was entangled in his arms. It was just early morning and they were talking in bed. The fun of being in Hogwarts was that the weather was always a bit cold, and Magnus would also use magic to make it colder in the room so they feel cosier in the bed under the blanket.
*HORRR…* Summer flew in, doing her daily duty of bringing in the letters.
Magnus opened one and cursed, “What the hell, they are reproducing like rabbits,”
“What? Who?” Emma raised her head to look.
“The Weasleys invited me to a small party. It’s for the birth of twins, Fred and George Weasley.” Magnus said.
Emma was also left speechless, “I… I thought wizards were not supposed to have so many kids,”
Nodding, Magnus felt jealous, “Such a strange fate, those who want, can’t have kids and those who have, keep on making more.”
Emma snuggled under his arms. She was his mental support. They stayed like that without any care. However, how can he have mental peace?
*Knock Knock*
“Mag, come out. Duck needs you,” Ragnar’ voice came.
Magnus waves his hand and clothes appeared on himself and Emma. He didn’t care to drop her off in her room anymore.
“What happened?” He asked, quickly opening the door.
“He was trying to liberate Dragons from Hungarian reserves. But they won’t let him go. It has caused a bit of a mess from their end as they fear you will get offended.” Ragnar briefed.
“Offended? I? Why would I do that as long as they agree to my requests? Emma, do you wanna see the beautiful city of Budapest?” He turned to her.
“Absolutely, I heard it’s beautiful.” Emma was onboard.
“Well, Rag, are you coming?” They turned to Ragnar.
After thinking a bit, Ragnar shut the door, “With you two? Never, it’s boring. You’ll keep slithering in each other’s arms and forget to actually tour.”
Magnus then packed his and Emma’s bags and headed to spend the night in Budapest. Just a night though, he needed to spend his last days in school at least.
…
In an hour he was in the capital of Hungary. As expected, it was beautiful, but not that much. It didn’t feel as awe-inspiring and instead felt like “Oh, just another generic old European city,”
Magnus went to sort out the mess. As soon as Duck saw him, he cried, “Dad, they are bad people. They keep us here forcefully,”
Magnus’ eyes shined red, everyone in the vicinity felt threatened. They had never seen a Dragon speak before but seeing him being so loving towards Magnus was a clear sign. The Hungarian Minister for Magic quickly raised his arms, “Calm down, your majesty. It was just a misunderstanding. We were only trying to protect our dragons. The last thing we wanted was for an unknown giant dragon to eat all these poor innocent ones.”
Magnus turned to look at all the ferocious-looking Hungarian Horntails. One of the dragons even tried to talk to him, “Yo, the boss here said you can hear us.”
He nodded, “Yes, I can hear you all and talk back. If you want to go with that big boy, nod your head.” he spoke in a dragon tongue.
All the dragons nodded. Magnus asked another question but this time in both languages, “If you don’t like it here, nod your heads,”
They all did it again. Shocking the Minister, “B-but… we give you everything here.”
“Except let them fly away. Do you have any idea how important flying is for a dragon? It’s like magic for us wizards. Poor kids, look at them.”
He walked to the one that spoke to him earlier and started caressing the giant head. The dragon too seemed to be a playful one and acted like he was crying. Magnus secretly chuckled, “Oh, look at their pain and sorrow. Poor kids can’t even tell humans their problems.”
“Waaaa…” The dragon cried loudly. Magnus had to whisper, “Don’t overreact, boy.”
The Hungarian wizards could not understand what they were saying, to them any crying dragon was a crying dragon. It broke a few’s hearts, that in their quest to help and safeguard them they ended up hurting them.
“I-If we let them go, where will they be taken to?” the Minister asked.
Magnus answered energetically, “Oh, they will be going to the same secret animal sanctuary where that big boy lives. All kinds of endangered beasts live there. And don’t ask me for location, the survival of all those animals depends on secrecy. But sure, if someday you want to see how they are living, you just need to ask and that big boy will lead all these dragons to meet you.”
The deal sounded good. Taking care of dragons had only one main reason, the various ingredients one can get from them. Otherwise, keeping dragons was very expensive. “What about the ingredients we get?”
“That, you will still be getting them, just through the mail,” Magnus assured.
“So we won’t be having to keep the dragons here, take care of them and feed them but still get the materials? How will you be making money?” the Minister asked.
Magnus scowled, when did he say he was doing it for free? “I think you got the wrong idea. It won’t be for free. After deducing the charges for harvesting them, you will get your items. But of course, there are no charges for feeding them.”
“That’s a deal then.” the Minister agreed. This was as good as getting paid for doing no work.
“Good, boy, lead them out. And I am going to have a look around your capital city,” Magnus waved his hand and vanished. Duck also left with the dragons. This left everyone a bit confused.
“Umm… weren’t we supposed to get some sort of signature?” the undersecretary asked.
The Minister shrugged, “Not really, he’s the King of Britain, we know where to find him. Let him enjoy his time now, make sure no fool disturbs him.”
…
Magnus and Emma roamed around the streets, both looking like the perfect couple in people’s eyes. Both tall and sexy, as if some actors or models. But, none had seen them before. Magnus was famous though, but magic was at work earning them some privacy.
“Mag, wanna know something juicy? It’s about James and Lily,” Emma said. The two were sitting for lunch in a high-end restaurant with a nice view.
“What? They broke up?” Magnus asked.
She grinned, “It’s actually the opposite. They have decided to get married next year.”
*cough* Magnus was taken aback, “Really? We just turned 18, and they are probably not even 18 yet, as their birthdays are yet to come. Damn, they sure are crazy. With this speed, they will have a kid before they turn 20.”
Emma laughed, “Something must have happened. You just don’t decide to get married so suddenly. Anyway, have you thought about us?”
“Getting married? I have actually. I don’t want to do it at least before we turn 24. I feel that it would be the best age. By then, my little siblings will be 10 years old. And if… somehow we are able to produce… offspring, it will be the right time.” Magnus told her of his plan.
She lovingly held his hand, “Good idea, I agree with you. You are also the king, so I’m sure you need to keep your public image of not being a barbarian by marrying so early. I’m in no hurry, as I’m very much enjoying the current us.”
“AH!” Magnus suddenly exclaimed, he felt something touching his nether region. It was her leg.
“Come on, we’re in public, Emma.” He scolded her. But this only bolstered her mind.
“What? The strongest wizard turned out to be a wuss?” She teased.
In reply, he just caught her hand and pulled her into a kiss, a long deep kiss. The people around them either whistled or cheered. Magnus didn’t care, they would forget about them the moment they got out of their vision. “Girl, you’re just a tigress, and I have raised a dragon son alone.”
“Then, I will turn into a dragoness.” She seductively replied, licking her lips.
~Damn, I love this girl,~ he thought and apparated away with her. Of course, first ensure nobody can see them.
