He read the letter and slowly his face turned from goofy to serious. He crumpled the letter and walked back to his family, he waved his wand and accio his clothes from his room.

"Mum, Dad, I need to go to Diagon Alley. I will be visiting the bank there." He informed them. ​​

"Is everything okay, sweetie?" Grace asked in concern. Magnus' face didn't really hide anything.

"Everything's fine, mum. Just some business-related issues. I will solve it quickly and return for dinner." He said.

"Then take care. Take Martha with you." She suggested.

Magnus looked at Martha, "Will you come with me?"

"Why not, let's go right away." She was ready.

Both Magnus and Ragnar left with her. But Martha kept herself invisible all this while. It was unknown how she was doing it though.

Martha apparated with them to Diagon Alley. From there Magnus quickly made strides towards the Nimbus broom shop. When he reached there, luckily nothing had happened. The shop still had customers and Emma was there just having fun. She didn't really need to work anyway but liked helping around in the shop.

He entered the shop, and as expected, the moment Emma saw him a big smile appeared on her face.

"Ah, MAGNUS?... You came here because you missed me?" She asked as she ran up to him.

Magnus sighed, "Nah, I came here to talk to your dad. Where is he?"

She pouted, "You're no fun. Huh, dad's in the office on the backside. Follow me."

"Hehe... she likes you..." As they were walking Ragnar whispered in Magnus' ear.

Magnus just elbowed him in the stomach, "Not now,"

*Knock Knock*

Emma knocked on the door, "Dad, Magnus is here, he wants to talk to you."

All of a sudden a lot of noise came from the other side as if some stuff fell. The door then opened loudly, "Magnus? Where?"

And there was the father of Emma, Mr Whitehorn. A tall dark-haired wizard. But Magnus felt like he had seen him somewhere.

"Wait... have we met before?" Magnus inquired.

"Yes yes, and I want to say thank you for what you did that day. If it were not for you, I would have died." Mr Whitehorn replied, confusing Magnus.

"What do you mean, when did I save you?" Magnus asked further.

"Don't you remember? Well, I wouldn't blame you, it was a very bad situation that day. Remember when you were attacked by some Death Eaters in Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour? I was also there, you jumped and protected me from getting hit by a spell." Mr Whitehorn revealed.

. . .

Magnus quickly reminded himself of that day, "AH! I remember now, you were frozen due to fear."

Mr Whitehorn embarrassingly scratched his head, "Well, thank you for saving me that day."

"HEHE..."

Magnus turned to see Emma, she was smiling at him. ~So this was why she said thank you to me that day in the great hall.~

"You came at the right time, Magnus. We were just going to celebrate Emma's birthday," Mr Whitehorn said.

~Oh, so that's why she was so excited.~ Magnus realised.

"Don't you have friends from school coming?" Ragnar asked her.

"I have no girlfriends in Slytherin, all of them are a pretentious bit... girls." She blurted but corrected her words midway due to her dad being there.

Magnus felt bad for her and took out a gold coin from his pocket and handed it to her. She also confusedly took it while looking at Magnus's face.

"What is this?" She inquired.

*PAT PAT*

Magnus patted her head, "Buy some candies with it. Happy Birthday."

"Pfft... HAHAHA..." Ragnar started laughing loudly.

Emma looked at Magnus angrily and stomped on his foot, "HUH... Cheapstakes. Let's go, dad, no need to invite him. Here I thought he would love to eat mum's special pancakes."

"WAIT!" Magnus stopped her.

Quickly, he threw a pouch full of coins at her, "Here, a hundred galleons, buy whatever you want. Now, where are the pancakes?"

"Hehe... see dad, he worships pancakes." Emma chuckled.

"Let's go, Ragnar, to her birthday party. Call Sev too, he's across the street, and Martha, you can show yourself." Magnus blurted instructions.

Martha immediately made herself visible, and all of a sudden Emma lept at her and hugged her, "Aww... you are so cute and soft..."

Martha patted her head, "Calm down, child."

Emma in shock looked at Martha, "Sh... She speaks..."

Magnus sighed and explained, "Yes, she does. She's not a simple cat. She is a very powerful wizard and is older than even Dumbledore. You can also call her Grandma Martha."

"Yes yes... Grandma Martha. Ah, your name is the same as Batman and Superman's mothers'" Emma commented.

Magnus looked like a light bulb lit up over his head, "YES! Exactly, I remember now, no wonder I felt familiar with her name."

"Who is this superman and batman?" Martha inquired confusedly.

Magnus went close to her and explained, "They are fictional comic book characters made by muggles. Read about them, they are very interesting."

"Really? It seems I need to do some research about muggles again." Martha now finally had a new hobby.

But amidst all the talk, Magnus quickly remembered why he was here in the first place.

"Mr Whiteborn, I came here this quickly for another reason. I just found out the news that Death Eaters will now be attacking you because Emma is associated with me..." He revealed.

*DOOR OPENS*

But before Magnus could finish speaking, Ragnar and Severus arrived. Seeing that there was a party mood, Magnus did not continue.

"Let's go now, where are the pancakes?" He asked.

"Follow us, our house is connected with floo network." Mr Whitehorn said and went to the fireplace. He picked a bit of ash and told everyone what to say to reach that place.

All of them got transported to a new place, it was a big hall and it was decorated with lots of colourful balloons. There were one or two elfs working as well, they were wearing minimal clothing but they looked clean and the elfs themselves also looked healthy.

"Where are we?" Magnus inquired.

"Near the west coast. Come, the preparations are already done." Mr Whitehorn answered and took them to meet his wife, Mrs Vanity. Emma took her mother's surname.

Mrs Vanity was a beautiful lady who seemed to have an air of pride and respect around her.

"Welcome, everyone, glad to see Emma's school friends are here, the cake is ready." She happily greeted them.

But Mr Whitehorn quickly went close to her and whispered something. ~Can't you recognise him? He's his majesty Pendragon.~

"I do recognise him, but he's our guest today and our little Emma is the main focus of the evening." She replied to her husband. Magnus heard her and actually liked it that she treated him normally.

Soon, a big cake was bought there. It seems they did not invite anyone else, something Magnus appreciated. These were dark times and anybody could backstab you.

Emma had already changed her clothes and had come to cut the cake. But instead of quickly cutting it, she turned to Magnus, "Hey, can I cut the cake with that famous cool sword?"

"Sure," Magnus obliged to make the birthday girl happy and gave her his Hope sword.

"EEEEEEE..." But as she tried to lift it up her face turned red, she realised how heavy it was.

"MERLIN'S BEARD... How do you even swing this?" She was panting.

Taking pity, he helped her. And this way, she was finally able to cut the cake, though it was very messy now.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" They cheered.

Ragnar took out a small vial of potions from his pocket and threw it in the air. It started to make small colourful sparkles above them like miniature fireworks. Severus also threw a potion in the air that spread the fresh aroma of flowers.

Magnus on the other hand, made a funnel with his right hand in front of his mouth and aimed his head up.

"FUUUUU..." He breathed out and let out a flame from his mouth. The flame then wrote letters in the air, 'Happy Birthday, Emma.'

"THAT'S SO COOL..." She was so happy with this, looking at the fire with her beautiful light blue eyes.

"Hehe, glad you liked it. NOW, PANCAKES, WHERE?" Magnus asked with his eyes looking greedy.

Mrs Vanity quickly led them to the dinner table where the elfs started to put their plates. They all took their seats and talked.

"Why are there no other guests?" Magnus inquired.

Mr Whitehorn made a depressed face, "I stopped celebrating big parties at home 3 years back. 3 years ago, on Emma's birthday, a pureblood family tried to force me to sign a marriage contract for Emma with their son. I said no but they tried to threaten me. Thankfully, some powerful family friends helped me then."

"Let me guess, Blacks?" Magnus asked.

Emma's mum and dad looked at each other's faces and nodded.

*Sigh*

"Oh, you were telling us that we will be targeted? Why?" Mr Whitehorn finally asked as he remembered that incident.

Magnus quickly explained everything to him. This really scared the small family, it was just the three of them after all.

"And do you have a way to solve this?" Mrs Vanity asked with a frown on her face. Emma seemed worried for her family too.

Magnus smiled, "Of course. They are scared of touching me or my property since their last act. The best way I can think of that will keep you and your business safe is simple.

"I WILL BUY NIMBUS RACING BROOM COMPANY!" he declared.

The faces of everyone in the room were worth seeing after this.
