Harry Potter: Blood Of The Dragon Chapter 144

"You know about the land, right? Now hear about my new company, hehe..." Magnus told Ted about everything that happened at the pub today. The more Ted listened the more his brows rose.
This was a big deal, Magnus now didn't just have an army, but also a company that could ignore the need for heavy machinery. They could just use magic to erect structures in days when it should have taken them weeks or months. The finer tasks can be done by muggles and they take the least time.
"But Ted, we will need to create a department solely responsible for making sure the Statute of Secrecy isn't broken. We will create fake documentaries about how much hard work went into our various projects. Then when we are near completion we will air them on BBC or other infotainment channels. Nobody will doubt us then." He suggested. It was a great idea. This way, even if people will feel that such fast construction was crazy, they would accept it. Because if it's on T.V., then it must be something very amazing.
Ted affirmed, "That's a great idea. When is the construction going to start?"
"As soon as I get a letter from the Queen... Ah, talk about the devil." He noticed an owl flying outside his window. The queen must have bought an owl after meeting Magnus.
He took the letter and let the owl go away, of course, after some treats.
He read it carefully. The beginning was the usual royal talk and he slipped to the main part.
[Letter]
I talked about this with Prime Minister Heath. It is a very large area of land so a nod from various ministries would be needed.
Worry not, as the Prime Minister knows about you. I must say, all those who know about your inevitable taking of the throne are very excited. The name of King Arthur Pendragon is still so much loved. Even more, since I pushed a lot of historians to publish books about the evidence that King Arthur was real. A new television series will also air on the BBC soon.
Coming back to the topic. I and the Prime Minister agree that this project of yours will be a great boon to the country. And we have no choice but to accept because one way or another, you will do what you want.
Send a full plan for the development of the hospital campus. Ministries will need to see it before signing it. If you can send it today, I can get the nod from ministries in 2 days.

Also, I will visit you in a few days. It will be an official visit. Since you have already started work from your side of recreation false memories, I must do so too. The world needs to see my meetings as a mystery. So that later when I announce Adam's return, the world will think I convinced him to return.
See you in a few days,
Elizabeth,
[Letter End]
Magnus folded it and burned it. "Hmm, it seems she has accepted everything and is really helping us now."
"But always be careful Magnus," Ted advised him.
"Of course, I will never trust her so easily. At least not yet. Not until I sit on the throne. I will give you the development plans and get them to reach various concerned ministries." He got back to work.
...
1 Month Later,
10 August 1972
Magnus spent his time focused on studying, training and working on his various projects.
There were a lot of things happening at the same time. The book about Magnus was not just a success on a national level. It had spread everywhere, in every country.
The publisher Rita had hired was translating it into many different regional languages. It had become famous in the whole of Europe and North America. In a few large Asian countries too, as they were interested in Merlin.
This, in return, increased Magnus' popularity. Those who didn't even know about him started idolising him. Even though some things in the book were overly exaggerated, most believed it because the name Merlin was attached.
Magnus had also talked and directed work to Edgar and other sub-leaders. His new company, Emrys Construction, was formed. The land was also passed by the appropriate Ministry and got sold to Magnus. Of course, with a discount. Not many complained as a big hospital and medical college were going to be made. The government was also known to provide subsidies on such projects. It would also increase the land value of the land surrounding the hospital, which would be good for the city.
Immediately, tall boundary walls were erected with magic around the whole property. There wasn't going to be just 1 single building for all kinds of medical services.
Various buildings will be constructed around the campus, each specialising in one field. For example, Cardiology and Vascular Related treatment will have a whole building. Brain-related treatment will have another. This way, there were going to be at least 5 different buildings dedicated to medical health.
Then, there was going to be a big college and a research centre. Other than that, there will be parks, retirement homes, recreational spas and other stuff. The whole campus will have its own transit system to take people from one place to another.

[A/N: There will be Illustrations for each building when they are completely built.]
The construction started right away, under a lot of charms that hid magic use. Private security was hired to secure the main borders of the whole property. But even they were banned from entering.
Another thing that happened was that Grace had now turned into a celebrity, giving interviews left and right. She was also featured in some women's magazines, who were calling her an ideal role model for a strong independent woman, who not only served the country by being an army doctor but also now the world with this new invention. Of course, how could Magnus' name not be thrown there?
Grace usually gets awkward during interviews and her best way to keep talking is to talk about her son. So, now they were being called a miracle family, as people found out about Magnus' George Cross. and his bravery during that accident.
Maybe it was also the push from the Crown and Prime Minister's office that Grace was now being promoted a lot more than should have. It was an image-building campaign going on. The same would happen when Adam appears in the limelight.
But, today was the day Queen Elizabeth was going to be coming to visit them. It was an official visit and the media would know about it. But many would simply think she came to meet Grace. But, when she visits again the next time, they will start gossiping.
...
"Ah, what is this book? Sir Gawain and the Green Knight?" Arthur asked Magnus as they were in the big library of their house.
Magnus looked at the book Arthur was pointing to. It was an old-looking book and had no author's name. Even the English written in it was very old.
"This? I think mum told me about this story once. Ah, isn't this Sir Gawain from your round table?" Magnus asked.
"Yes, that's exactly why I'm asking this. Poor fellow was the youngest knight. This Green Knight was actually nothing but a bored forest elf, they are extinct now. The whole ordeal was so embarrassing for Sir Gawain that he'd get angry whenever someone mentioned it. But, he was indeed very brave.
"Strange, someone wrote this book." Arthur iterated about his old life.
Magnus nodded, "It was never found out who wrote this, but it is a very famous literature."
"Poor Sir Gawain, his secrets are known around the world now... haha..." Arthur laughed.
"Stop messing around now and help me write the book." Magnus scolded him. He was currently working to write a small book that could provide the best evidence that Arthur was real.
"Where were you buried?" Magnus asked.
"We were not, we were burned to ashes, so nothing remains that can connect to us. There were far too many crazy dark wizards during those days, so it was never wise to leave behind your body. Merlin and I had decided this a long time before our death." Arthur revealed.
Magnus's shoulders slumped, "Then how do you think I can prove to the world that you were real?"
Arthur thought for a while, "Hmm... That's not really that hard. You have my armour in Camelot, I've also written some books in my time. Maybe showcase them to the world? Someone should be able to date them back to the era I used to live in."
"And what do you think will be the reason there was no Pendragon taking the throne after your death?" Magnus asked.
"You can say that the next Pendragon in line was too young, but the regent that was supposed to rule until the little Pendragon turned old got greedy and took the throne. Since then, the throne has been passed on to many different families, settling with what we have now. Not just that, you can also blame this regent for why there was no mention of me in history books because he tried to hide all evidence of his forceful take over of the throne." Arthur suggested.
"Hard to swallow, but possible," Magnus muttered.
He was busy when Grace's loud call came. "MAGNUS, COME HERE. OLD QUEEN IS HERE"
Magnus closed the notebook and sighed, "Let's go, Arthur. Let's greet granny Liz."
"Nah, not interested in saggy sacks. You go. I'll go to Merlin and annoy the hell out of him." Arthur shrugged and vanished from the portrait.
