Ted arrived in ti. "rry Christmas,"
"rry Christmas, Ted. I called you today to make so good money. Do you know any big auctions that are going to take place anyti soon around the world? A place where so super-rich people might co?" Magnus asked.
Ted rested back in his seat as he started thinking. "Umm... I did read about one that's going to happen in Saudi Arabia. It's organised by the country's prince and many super-rich will co there."
"Wonderful, when is it?" Magnus asked.
"31st December. It's being called the New Year Auction." Ted answered.
"Can we put so things for auction there?" He inquired.
Ted got more attentive now. "What is it?"
"Hey... Are you selling my Potion?" Ragnar suddenly voiced.
"No, Rag. Why would I sell it to muggles? It's this I'm selling." Magnus said as he put the blue diamond on the table.
Ted picked it up and checked. It was very clear, but it lacked a shape. This ans it was untampered. It would get a very good price because this was a huge fist-sized blue diamond.
Magnus started, "I checked the books, there is no other diamond as big as this in the whole world. Let alone, this is a blue one. I am expecting at least 500 million dollars for this as it'll be a once in a lifeti chance for soone to get it. I will even offer free carving or cutting of the diamond however they want with 100% no damage guaranteed or money back."
"H-half a B-billon? And I think you just might get that amount as long as we can get this diamond checked and officiated." Ted said.
"Where can we get it checked?" Magnus asked.
"Gringotts, of course," Ted suggested.
Magnus looked at him doubtfully, "Would their certification even be valid in the muggle world?"
"Of course, they aren't rich just by working for Wizards. They also invest money in the muggle market. They own lots of subsidiaries that are muggle companies." Ted revealed.
Even Magnus didn't know this and it actually made sense. Goblins didn't care about anything except money and they hated everyone equally. So they would surely invest in the muggle world.
"That makes our job easier then. Goblins of Gringotts are my buddies." Magnus happily exclaid and got up.
"Do you know how to apparate?" he asked.
Ted nodded, "I do, but I can't guarantee to take others along with . I'm not the best at it."
"No problem, I will call my elf," Magnus replied and they went to an empty alley from the coffee shop.
"Abraham Lincoln, co here." He called out.
*Pop* "What can I do for you, sir?"
"Can you take us to Diagon Alley?" Magnus asked.
"Of course. I know that place."
So, ignoring the shocked face of Ted because of the elf's na, they teleported to Diagon Alley.
"Thank you, Abe, you can go back now. I will call you again when I have to co ho." He said and headed to the bank. But as soon as they started walking they were interrupted.
"AH... MR PENDRAGON. Please wait... Here you go... Have so Spicy ice cream. I made this by taking inspiration from your exceptional fire magic. I have nad this Dragon Spice Flavour." Florean Fortescue, the owner of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, enthusiastically greeted him.
All this was not because of his fa. These people genuinely liked him. Because he paid to repair the damage caused to Diagon Alley when he was attacked here. Everyone knew that Magnus didn't need to do it, but he still did out of compassion as many of these shops don't really make a lot of money and couldn't afford repairs.
While greeting so many people, he finally arrived at the bank. The Goblins there also treated him very kindly as he was still secretly sowhat a controller of the bank.
He was imdiately taken to the private luxury room and the head goblin of the bank arrived. The head goblin was nad Novgor.
"Please, drink the tea, your majesty. Very few get the chance to taste the Goblin made special tea," he said after another goblin brought so refreshnts for them.
Magnus took the gesture of friendship and drank it. It imdiately touched his throat. It was spicy, but not the chilli spicy, it was herbal. A lot of ginger in it.
"This is actually very nice. I like it, Novgor." Magnus praised.
Novgor showed a wide goblin smile, "I knew you would like it. With your Pendragon blood, you can even drink fire and enjoy it. So, how can I be of service today?"
Magnus didn't talk around and put the diamond, the sword and the old coin on the table. "I want you to verify these items and certify their quality. I will be auctioning them in the muggle world."
Novgor looked at the three items. The coin was of no interest to him as it was re gold to him. Then he looked at the big diamond. It was certainly very enticing, but they had many diamonds in their vaults, not as big but still.
What attracted him was the sword. He imdiately picked it up and checked it closely with his monocule.
"Ah... Such work... But not of a goblin. Soone learned from a goblin and made this. Hmm... Let see the hilt." He started muttering.
Magnus was surprised by Novgor's behaviour and was now very interested in the sword.
Then, Novgor exclaid, "Ahaa... I knew it! You Majesty, where did you get this sword from?"
"From my vault," Magnus revealed.
"Ah... No wonder. This sword once belonged to a well-known king, Ragnar Lodbrok. His Majesty Arthur Pendragon must have defeated him and taken it." Novgor revealed.
Ragnar, hearing his own na got interested in the sword, he took it from the goblin to check it out. His eyes shined as he swayed his fingers over its shining blade.
Magnus also realised what kind of foolish deed he was going to do. Probably every single thing in his vaults, every single book, sword, armour must have a great history related to it. It was sothing to be kept close to, as it was invaluable. A part of history.
Just at that mont, Magnus decided what he was going to do. Once he becos the king, he will create the world's largest and safest history museum.
But, about this sword. He looked at the sword and asked, "Novgor, I decided not to sell it. But, I want you to make an engraving on its hilt, under the na of its previous owner."
"Sure, what do you want on it?" Novgor asked.
"I want you to enchant the hell out of it too. Make it a fine deadly weapon that can cut anything and withstand anything. And put the na... Ragnar Ulrick Oroborus on it." Magnus instructed.
*TING*
Ragnar dropped the greatsword on the table, "Are you sure? I-I this must hold precious value to the history."
"Heh, Ragnar Lodbrok is dead, he left this sword to rot. You may carry it now and continue the journey of this sword. It's yours, you also said you wanted to learn swordsmanship." Magnus clarified.
Novgor nodded and took the sword to work on it. Then, he looked at the coin, "This is a simple 10th-century coin, but it's very rare now. The diamond is also real, I don't need to touch it to see its authenticity. The grade is Flawless. I will get you the certifications for the two. The sword you may take in 5 days. It will cost you 5,000 Galleons."
Magnus knew this was a pretty discounted price for what he wanted Novgor to do. Since they don't normally work for Muggles.
"Sure. I'll transfer the money later." Magnus agreed and shook hands. In just 30 minutes, they even got the certification of authenticity and grade.
"Okay, let's prepare to go to Saudi Arabia now. Ted, we will use the Ministry authorised Portkey this ti." Magnus started planning.
"Yes, we will do that, Mr Pendragon. But I must go back and start making so telephone calls first. It's better to have so contacts there before going." Ted said and imdiately left. Even forgetting that Magnus could have gotten him back faster.
Now, it was just Magnus and Ragnar.
"You wanna buy so potion materials?" He asked.
Ragnar nodded, "Yes, I do actually. By the way, Mag. Thanks for another precious gift."
Magnus shook his head, "Heh, my mummy treats you like her son. We're brothers now, stop saying thanks for everything now.".
Ragnar smiled and headed to the potions shop.
...
"Is that him, right?" A hooded person at a distance spoke. There were three, in total. They were observing Magnus for a while now.
"Yes, that's it." The second man confird.
"How do we start? Directly or indirectly?" The third one asked.
"Let's go direct. Follow ." 1st man decided and started walking towards Magnus, who was standing outside the potions shop and reading a catalogue in the showcase.
Just as he was reading, he felt soone watching him intently. Then, that feeling started getting stronger and closer.
His face turned serious and he grunted, ~NOT AGAIN...~
He put his right hand under his jacket and held his wand.
Then he heard soone call him. "MAGNUS GRANT EMRYS PENDRAGON?"
Magnus didn't wait. He instantly turned around and cast a full body binding curse at the guy in front.
"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!"
*Cling...*
Magnus summoned his hope sword and put it on the neck of one man and his wand in front of the face of the other.
*Footsteps*
All of a sudden. Most of the shop owners in the vicinity ca out of their shops running with wands out. They encircled Magnus and the three n. Their wands focused on the three.
"HOW DARE YOU ATTACK HIS MAJESTY?" Florean Fortescue shouted.
Soon, other shop owners did the sa. Fear and regret appeared on the faces of all three seeing the situation they were in.
Then, one with Magnus' sword on the neck cried, "WE DID NOT AN TO ATTACK HIS MAJESTY!..."
[A/N: Magnus will be going back to Hogwarts soon. But, as so much has already happened, this new sester will not have much exciting stuff going on except so chapters with the Marauders and other original characters in and then will be a small ti skip to sumr holidays.]
