Harry Potter: Blood of the Dragon

Chapter 464 – 464. Shadow Emperor

Days seemed to go faster when everyone was busy. Magnus had consolidated his power over the world by now and his world tour had ended. Duck had the best time of his life with thousands of photos clicked, enough for him to boast around with his friends at Camelot. Magnus too was slowly deciding to shift his home base from Buckingham Palace to Camelot. They can always come here whenever they need to work.

The entirety of South America was now under Magnus' influence. Because Harrison Ford was the US president and an order member, he allowed Magnus to proceed without worrying about the US or the CIA.

In return, it was the US itself that gained the most. Illegal immigrants decreased by a huge margin since now each South American and Caribbean nations were much more peaceful and stable. With Magnus controlling their economy, they were bound to go up. Not to mention, Magnus now controlled the world economy and his people kept an eye on each and every aspect of the stock market.

He would not allow anyone to manipulate it and cause an economic recession. Insider trading was a crime and such laws that if committed would land you in prison without any chance of bail.

Short-selling hedge funds were also under Magnus' eyes at all times. It was he who had the entire resources and influence of the previous Illuminati. Now the only nations left that were not under his influence were China and USSR, they were Communist strongholds and it was the toughest nut to crack.

…

"LET'S GOOO… DIAGON ALLEY!?" Maximus cheered. They were going to Hogwarts next year and they were pretty excited, of course, all except Clementia. But she had opened up to the idea.

Magnus was now 23 years old, at this age, most people worry about their college or jobs, but here he was, worrying more about the world. He was on a totally different level.

"Why do you even want to go there?" He asked them.

"I love watching the magical shops," Maximus said.

Emma eyed him on suspicion, "Are you sure? Or is it because of the candy and ice-cream shop?"

Maximus tried not to look at her, he just giggled, "Well, we can have a small treat after the trip."

Emma hugged the boy, "Awww… sure you can. All of you can. Chad, you are coming as well. And what's this dress you're wearing?"

"Meow meow…" Chad started to explain dramatically.

Magnus laughed, "It's Ragnar's massage dress for this boy, he says it can help reduce weight. If it's successful, he will release it to the public."

Emma however felt worried for the kitty boy, "Umm, that means he's being used as a test subject?"

…(*￣０￣)ノ

Chad's face fell at that as the realisation hit. Anger erupted, "MEWAAA!"

Magnus picked him in arms, "Don't worry, he's not mad enough to put your life in danger, he probably wants to help you lose weight."

"Here," Ragnar appeared from his underground lab and handed Magnus a long sheet. "Bring all these materials for me from Diagon Alley."

"Are you okay, brother? Look at your face, when did you sleep last time? There are dark circles under your eyes," Magnus worried for him.

"Ugh, don't even ask, man. I've been studying human genetics for the whole week. Damn, we wizards are so backwards when it comes to science. Muggles have already studied most things in great detail." Ragnar was all praise.

"Easy there, go and take a nap now. You don't want mum to see you like this. When I return, I will wake you up," Magnus advised him.

Ragnar yawned, "I guess I will,"

…

Magnus arrived in Diagon Alley with his family. He first went to the Potions shop and sent Emma to shop for other things with the kids.

When he entered, he found Narcissa standing at the counter table, a little baby strapped by her chest.

"How is everything going, sister Narcissa?" He greeted her.

She was holding this shop as an employee of Severus. It was a respectful job that allowed her to pay for her son's expenses, "I and Draco both are fine, your majesty."

"It's fine, you can call me Magnus. I am going to need all these potions and ingredients. I will hold Draco for you until then," He exchanged the list and baby.

In his arms, Draco stared at Magnus' face with interest. There was a honey pacifier in his mouth. But then suddenly he took it out and offered Magnus, "Yaya…"

Magnus chuckled, it was truly cute, "Haha, I've had enough of them, little one. You enjoy it."

He put the pacifier back into his mouth and walked around. "Narcissa, did you meet with your sister?"

"Yes, I did. We have made up and meet every week. She likes to play with Draco. Can't believe my life is so normal now. It used to seem impossible not long ago." she said

"Great, what about Severus? How is he?" he asked further.

She blurted without thinking, "He's the best… I mean he's very kind and helpful and respects me."

"Hmm, he is considerate of others. I met him a while ago, he was talking about you." He threw the hook.

She took it, "What did he say?"

"Not much, but he said he's delighted that you help him in his projects these days and have brought a good change to his empty house. He said his mother likes playing with Draco," he said, sounding as uninterested as possible.

When he last glanced at her, she had stopped moving and was immersed in listening to him. He internally chuckled and decided to leave, "I will be back in an hour, my siblings and Emma are shopping. See you,"

He put Draco in the cradle and headed out. He spent the entire day with the three gremlins and bought them all kinds of books and food. They wanted to get their robes and wand too but it was not allowed yet.

…

In Zimbabwe, the world's biggest hadron collider, 50 kilometres in length, was made. Adam was the lead scientist working on it, he had put all his focus on building the AM Engine, he didn't want to fail since Magnus had provided ample funds.

For the first time, he felt that being rich was the best thing in the world, after all, can you imagine any nation's government spending billions of dollars on an experimental project? Never, not in a million years. The only reason the world even had fission reactors was because of World War 2 and the development of nukes.

"Okay, fire it up," He ordered his assistants. He had attracted the most renowned nuclear physicists, physicists and engineers from around the world. Why wouldn't they come after knowing the crazy things that were being built? But of course, each of them had to sign Magnus's most strict magical contract paper. If they broke the contract, they were to be immediately obliviated with no questions asked.

The Hadron Collider took so much electricity that FutureTek had to set up a dedicated big thorium reactor to power it. But the moment the machine started up, it was all worth it.

The sparks appeared, they were extremely small, but they were the most beautiful scientific readings Adam had ever seen because they depicted the creation of the Universe and the future of the entire humanity.

…

As Magnus' authority grew stronger and his hold on the world became tighter, various things occurred. For example, the base on the Moon was efficiently mining and extracting minerals. The first-ever Fusion reactor prototype was already 90% complete and will be fired up next year and the designs of the first Mars mission rocket were already being made.

Emrys Construction was the world's most valuable company, yes, it had even put FutureTek behind all charts. It was private but estimated to be worth 90 Billion dollars. Although this was a conservative figure, their real estimate was 130 billion. They were present in every country, they built bridges, buildings, dams, expressways and all kinds of infrastructure that could help the world move ahead. Their biggest and the most expensive crown project however was the Great African Railways. The mega train will make Africa the centre of manufacturing. And it was already 100% complete, all that was left was the operational testing.

The year 1983 also slowly came to an end, but Christmas was holding secret presents for Magnus and Emma that would put them on cloud nine.
