Magnus and the rest immediately turned around to see who it was. But, there was again nobody.

"Here,"

They turned back to the front and finally they saw who this Grand Elder was, it was certainly not as Grand as they were expecting, more like cute. She was wearing a red dress with a bowtie, then there was a pointy wizard's hat on her head and in her hand was a small wand.

"You are... the Grand Elder?" Magnus asked her in disbelief.

"Of course, dear. I've been living in this castle for the past 200 years. You, as the King of Britain, can address me simply as Martha or Old Lady. I am Chad's great-grandma as well." She respectfully said. Her voice though was so kind and calm that it felt like music to the ears.

"WHAT?" All of them exclaimed at the same time.

"I KNEW IT..." Arthur loudly exclaimed too.

"I felt strange about that fat cat from the start and was thinking about the cat we hired to keep the castle maintained," Arthur said.

Magnus, meanwhile, was in shock, "Can Chad also speak?"

"No, he's still too young to be able to speak," Martha replied.

-_-

"You... what species are you? I never read about any talking cats." Magnus asked.

"Oh, I am not a normal cat, I am actually a half Kneazle. My first ancestor was a true cat, but, he was experimented on by a mad wizard. Merlin saved him and fixed the damage to the body, however, the experiments that the mad wizard did somehow became successful as Merlin was healing. Since that day, that cat turned into a little humanoid cat. He is dead now, but his bloodline keeps ongoing." She explained.

Snape spoke, "So you're an entirely different species."

"Yes," she affirmed.

"Umm, if you are this old, then I'm going to call you grandma Martha, Ah, Can't believe you sent Chad to me." Magnus decided.

She chuckled, "Hehe, then that would be even better. Come, I will show you the round table, I heard you talking about it when entering."

"You were spying on us?" Bobby questioned.

"No no, my magic allows me to feel this whole castle as another part of my body. I am connected with it, so, I know everything that goes on." She revealed.

"Now I know why they all fear you so much and call you Grand Elder," Ragnar muttered.

She was very small, so her feet moved much faster than theirs and it made her look very cute. She was a cat after all and deserved hugs and pats, but knowing she was also 200 years old, they stopped this urge from turning into actions.

She kept on walking, striding across various halls, the doors opened automatically with her approach. Soon, they arrived at a big door, which had a huge dragon etched on it.

"This is it, the room that has the round table. You can open it, your majesty." She suggested.

Magnus nodded and went forward. He put his palm on the door and gently pushed it.

Without making any noise, it opened. The other side was dark so he couldn't see anything. But, as soon as he put 1 foot inside, the room lit up. It was big, but there was nothing except a giant table at the centre.

"Woah... This looks so intimidating." Magnus muttered.

"This is the table where Britain as we know it was planned out." Bobby awed.

Magnus went forward to see the table. It had a dark shiny marble finish on top. But, what made it look apart was the rune characters shining on it, then there was a Dragon line-art on it, made of some orange shiny thing. The table looked majestic beyond what Magnus expected.

"Bobby, Ragnar and Sev, take seats. Let's have our first official meeting of the Round Table. We will discuss what to do to increase our influence." Magnus announced.

Hearing him, the three turned serious and took seats.

Martha smiled, "So hard working, Your Majesty. Let me send some refreshments."

Magnus kindly nodded at her and said, "Thank you, also, you are the caretaker of this whole castle, you can call me Magnus. Let "Your Majesty" be reserved for others."

Martha nodded, she was liking this king more and more. So young and yet so thoughtful.

"Very well, Magnus. I will not disturb you now." She left the hall.

Soon, they were the only ones present in the hall. Magnus had put the portrait of Arthur and Merlin on a seat too, they were going to be his advisors.

"Okay, let's start this meeting. We will need more people to fill the remaining 21 seats. Any guesses who it should be?" Magnus asked.

Bobby immediately raised his hand.

...

Knockturn Alley,

While Magnus was making plans to change the world for the better, his enemies were sharpening their daggers.

The death of Abraxas Malfoy was not something Magnus had planned. But, in Lucius' mind, it was all Magnus' doing. Along with the curse Magnus had spoken at him, his mind wouldn't let him forget Magnus.

Since the day of Abraxas' death, his life had turned for the worse. With his father's death, he lost all influence his family had. Now, he was also the last of his bloodline remaining.

But what disgusted him more was the behaviour of other pure-bloods whom his father used to consider friends and allies.

They all turned their backs to him. Even the Black family patriarch ignored him when he asked their help to kill Magnus.

Nobody heard his cries. He, alone, spent his days in his big family home.

He had a meeting set up here. With someone very important. He was never too much of a believer of the pure-blood theory, to him and his father, it was just the means to an end to get rich and powerful.

But now, his mind had changed.

~Magnus, I will make you feel the same pain soon. You just wait.~ he muttered under his breath.

*Woosh*

Someone apparated in. It was a woman, she had black messy hair, milk-white skin, she was beautiful, her body had curves in all the right places. But her facial expressions screamed danger and crazy into onlookers' minds.

"Hehe... Luci, are you still brooding over Abraxas' death? Awww... You're like a puppy. But I won't give you a hug, only two people are allowed to touch me... Haha... You know who they are, right? Do you want to touch this maiden too, Lucy? Is that what those staring eyes mean?" She spoke nonstop like a mad witch.

*Woosh*

The noise of another apparition came. This time, it was a very tall and slender figure. He immediately called the woman out, "BELLATRIX, apologise to Lord Malfoy."

"Ah, Forgive me, My Lord." She immediately apologised, but her face showed she was loving being scolded.

The tall man then turned to Lucius, who was already kneeling for him.

"Get up, Lucius." The tall man went close and gave a creepy hug. He patted Lucius' shoulders.

"The death of Abraxus is a loss to the whole magical Britain. He was an important member of my order. But, he was taken away." He spoke with great passion.

Lucius' eyes turned red, trying to hold back tears. *BAM* he suddenly kneeled again.

"My Lord, please, grant me justice. That mudblood must suffer. I am ready to do anything for that." Lucius requested.

This time, the tall man forcibly made Lucius stand up. He creepily caressed Lucius' silver hair.

"Yes yes... Revenge is a must. For a mere mudblood filth to even look at us. A lesson will be taught to the world.

"MY FIGHT... IS FOR US ALL PURE-BLOOD. ONCE WE WIN, WE SHALL RULE THE WORLD AND ALL THOSE BENEATH US SHALL SERVE US!

"LUCIUS MALFOY, you have my word, justice shall be given to you. But, MY ORDER DEMAND LOYALTY, SUPREME UNWAVERING LOYALTY! Can you give me that?" He asked.

Lucius looked at the hairless face of the tall man. He stared directly into the eye with a resolve so firm that nothing could break it.

"I give you my everything!" Lucius answered.

"HAHAHAHAHA... Then YOU shall be one of my commanders from now on. Your job is to bring those misguided pure-blooded kids in the Slytherin house to the right path. TO ME!

"You shall receive my Dark Mark only once you graduate, as it might get traced by Dumbledore and put your life at risk. I value you far too much to risk your life.

"DEATH will now follow the so-called Merlin's descendant, Lucius. You focus on your work and we will watch over your back."

Lucius immediately knelt again. This time, the man did not make him rise, instead, pointed his wand up and cast the dark mark in the sky.

He then loudly voiced, "I, LORD VOLDEMORT, TREATS HIS FELLOW PURE-BLOODS RIGHT! FOR WE ARE THE PURE AND TRUE WIZARDS! WE ARE THE BRINGER OF DEATH TO ALL THOSE WHO CARRY THE TAINTED BLOOD OF THE FILTH!

"WELCOME... LUCIUS MALFOY, TO THE ORDER OF DEATH EATERS."
