BXBX NOVEL Chapter 442 - 442. The Night Of Purge
Chapter 442 – 442. The Night Of Purge
Magnus arrived at Hogwarts and awaited Dumbledore in the office. Meanwhile, he spoke to all his main security heads to ramp up the protection of Buckingham Palace by a hundred per cent. Even take Severus and his mother, Bobby and his family to the palace too. Emma and her parents were also to stay there.
All the important people in his life were to be protected until he finds and kills Voldemort. He had taken everything from the man, and he knew, a man is the most dangerous when he got nothing to lose.
"You\'re here? Did you find the diary?" Dumbledore just entered the office.
Magnus put the diary on the table, "Yup, here it is,"
Dumbledore also put the ring on the table. "Good on you to advise me to not touch it. I sensed a great curse on it, one much deadlier than any curse we know."
"Great, let\'s destroy it," He got up.
"How are you planning to do that?" the old man asked.
Grinning, he just showed his staff, "One good Fiendfyre and these Horcruxes will be fried. I wonder how weak Voldemort will become after losing 5 parts of his soul."
They went straight to the room of requirement for privacy. Magnus kept the Horcruxes hovering in the air and away from each other. After that, he put all five on the ground in an enclosed fire pit. Tom Riddle\'s Diary, Marvolo Gaunt\'s Ring, Salazar Slytherin\'s Locket, Helga Hufflepuff\'s Cup and finally Rowena Ravenclaw\'s Diadem.
"Get back, professor. My fire magic is too strong," he warned and waved his staff around.
Like a towering dragon, a giant pillar of fire came out of the staff, slowly it circled around the area and gained the form of an eastern dragon. Magnus was easily able to control it, sending it straight at the five Horcruxes.
The Horcruxes had a constant dark aura that always called the people nearby it to touch it and gain immense powers. It was the classic trick in the book of evil.
But this time the only noises were the blood-curdling screams of the pieces of soul. "REEEeeee…"
The diary was the easiest to destroy and the ring was the hardest. For a total of 10 minutes, the fire raged over the five objects, destroying the soul piece by piece. If Voldemort had gotten these Horcruxes back, maybe, just maybe he would have been able to make his soul whole again. But now, they will forever be lost.
"I can\'t imagine what it feels like to split your soul," he muttered.
Slowly, the fire extinguished, revealing the five blackened objects, they were just normal goods now. He picked the treasures of the three founders and gave them to Dumbledore, "I believe this is supposed to be school property."
But he kept the ring and Tom\'s diary. "With this, Voldemort is finally killable. Gather your Order of the Phoenix and start looking for him."
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Professor, we found Sybill Trelawney. She was hiding from the Dark Lord in a barn in South England." Severus and McGonagall entered. They were pretty much the best Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster duo.
Magnus didn\'t wait, he put the staff at the woman\'s face, "Tell me about the prophecy you made to Voldemort and why did you stop in the middle?"
The woman looked crazed already. She was a thin woman, draped in gauzy shawls, and cloaks and bangles all covered with shining sequins and glittering strings of beads. Thick glasses on her eyes, which hugely magnified her eyes and caused them to appear about ten times their normal size.
She shivered, "I-I didn\'t stop. That was it… the prophecy. I stopped because I was shocked as I felt the Prophecy slowly vanishing from existence."
"Repeat the whole prophecy for us," he ordered. It was better to get her account than to trust how much Lucius had heard.
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… It is exactly what it means. The one to defeat the Dark Lord was born at the end of July to parents who defied Voldemort three times." She said, fixing her glasses at the same time.
Magnus quickly called the Ministry for Magic, "Eugenia, immediately appear in Professor Dumbledore\'s office with a list of all magical babies born in the month of July, for this year and the past 10."
Eugenia knew when not to anger Magnus, her intuitions told her to hurry. She didn\'t come alone either, arriving with Moody, Shacklebolt and more Aurors. In a moment\'s time, Magnus\' faithful followers, the Army of Merlin and MEDA experts appeared.
In total, combining Ministry, Dumbledore\'s order and Magnus\' people, there were around 3,000 wizards, and 2,769 were Magnus\' followers.
He started to copy the pages. Each year, at most 5-6 magical kids get born in July\'s end. It was not hard for all of them to search each of these addresses and bring the occupants to safety. "Everyone, you have this night, find all these people, check if they are in any danger and bring them to safety. You will all go in a group of ten each. Remember, the moment you see a Death Eater or any Voldemort follower, kill them right there. We have given them multiple chances to correct themselves but they have refused. For 4 years, this is how much time they had.
"No more. Got it?"
"YES, YOUR MAJESTY!" All 2,769 wizards clad in fine long leather coats and black hats, saluted with their right fist on their chest. Dumbledore, his order and the Ministry folks felt blood rush through their veins, they had never seen such a fan-following of a Light Wizard in the past.
"Head out and take ample firepower. I will send the backup too." He ordered.
Immediately, they walked out, got on brooms and left one by one. Being on the balcony of the Headmaster\'s office, Magnus whistled loudly. All of a sudden the temperature turned particularly chilly, water in a glass on the headmaster\'s table froze.
Alarmed, Dumbledore rushed to him, "Get back, Magnus."
He just waved off, "Easy, professor. These are my loyal pawns. Listen up, wannabe curtains."
He addressed the crowd of thousands of Dementors who covered the shining moon. One of them, that was the leader came forward and silently hovered a few metres away from Magnus.
"You know your job. Just like you killed all the Death Eaters and Voldemort\'s followers inside the Azkaban, you are to do it here. Fly across the United Kingdom, find all Voldemort\'s Death Eaters and followers, and deal with them. But remember, if you dare touch any innocent or person unrelated to this, all of you will face the judgement." He ordered them.
Everyone who looked at him doing this from behind couldn\'t help but stare at his back. Magnus seemed like a really tall and strong king, leading the world into a better future. The air around him screamed "Majesty".
All those who recently decided to become his followers felt wiser for choosing this. The era of Dumbledore was finally coming to an end, this new age will be defined by King Pendragon.
One by one, Dementors left the school. Magnus towards at the crowd, "You all head out too. We don\'t have too much time. Who knows which family those animals will attack. The wizarding Britan has been in peace for this long, I don\'t want to break that."
"WAIT! Where are the Longbottoms?" All of a sudden Slughorn voiced.
"And the Potters?" McGonagall added.
Eugenia quickly realised something, "Your Majesty, both families had children born at the end of July last year."
Magnus\' jaw tightened, these two families were his staunch followers. "Don\'t worry, I personally shall head to them. Severus, you come with me. Good luck!"
He put his arm on Severus\' shoulder and apparated away. Dumbledore seriously ordered his people to move, "Do as he says, quick. McGonagall, you are with me."
…
Somewhere in South-West England,
"AAAAA…!"
As soon as Magnus appeared outside the Longbottom manor, he heard loud screams.
"Sev, aim to kill,"
"Come on, Magnus. I would never go easy on these animals. To kill them is my only solution." Severus had his wand ready, but at the same time, he drank a few potions that increased his focus by giving an adrenaline rush. He could now aim and see better.
"Good," Magnus blasted open the door.
