Harry Potter: A Fan Fiction - Volume 1 Chapter 54 Hidden Powers

“A mysterious explosion of nuclear origin occurred in Romania earlier this evening, scientists says that the explosion must have occurred due to a problem in an unauthorised nuclear research that is being secretly done in the area. Many families are still unaccounted for and many people also fell victim to the aftermath of the blast. The UN…”

The reporter on the television stuck to her report and people who cared shook their heads being unable to do anything while thinking why this kind of thing is happening around the world when they can all live in peace, those who didn’t give a damn simply ignored the news while thinking what to have for dinner or where to go to get laid tonight, some religious cultists are singing for the end of times and some groups are strangely rooting for the coming of the annunaki or some other race of aliens.

[Meanwhile at the magical world…]

“William’s coven is undoubtedly far stronger than we have first assumed, they have surely conspired with the muggles to develop such weapons of mass destruction. When our ancestors established the statue of secrecy and separated the muggles from us the noble magicals, they must have not taken into account their capacity for growth in the field of technology and left them to their own folly of self destruction. I regret to say it, but it seems that what Grindelwald foretold about how the muggles may just come to fruition if we don’t act first and fast. The muggles are strong, even with our abilities I believe we can not hold a long standing war against all of them especially if we left their weapons development technology unhindered or unchecked… ”

The speaker paused and looked at everyone in the room.

“I propose that we make amendments to our rules and let some of our kind take up power in the muggle world. It would be a long shot as we know little to none about the muggles but we have to take this step as it is now necessary for our survival. Now let us come to a vote, those who support the implementation of this plan raise your wands…”

It was a dark room hosting twelve seats around a huge marble table with ancient rune engravings. The man who spoke sat on the host seat with an aura that is filled to the brim with matchless grandeur and heroism, his manly face and golden hair only served to make him look like an envoy of the holy ghost. This however is not enough to mask the ugly look of fear from his eyes. The nuclear bomb exploding in their backyard have roused the sleeping dragons of the magical world, the people here who existed mostly in legends of old are more real than anything else.

Who would ever believe that Arthur and his knights are alive to this day after all and only exists behind the scenes to control magical Britain’s fate? After all, not even Viktor who had a vast network of spies knew about these well hidden powers.

All eleven raised their wands except for one.

“Lord Lancelot, may we know your concern about this matter? The reason for your refusal?”

“I don’t know, ever since Merlin disappeared we have lost our ways and stagnated into a mess of pride and over confidence brought about by our special status. The nobles simply became too conceited to accept that we were once upon a time oppressed by the very muggles we look down on. Our magic dwindled into teaching what is safe instead of seeking for the truth like we wizards have always aimed to do. Let’s face this reality, we have declined to where we are right now partly because of our inaction so this is partly our fault. Arthur my king, we have been alive for very long, and look at where we are now. Watching our descendants fight amongst themselves, rotting in their laziness, while most are living in a completely stupid way of being in poverty due to the abuse of power of the ones in the position to serve. I am not against your plans, I just believe that we have to change our line of thinking first before we go out to challenge our traditions that Merlin himself established.”

Everyone on the round table nodded their heads. Even Arthur realised how wrong his line of thinking was while he listened to Lancelot. Injecting wizards into muggle society is easy, but would dominating it to the point of supremacy be that easy when they know close to nothing about the other world? He was simply talking fantasy if he thought that everything can be solved with every flick of his wand. The process will surely take a huge amount of time and effort to seamlessly merge the two worlds and gain control of their society. They would have to work on the wizards first before introducing them to their future tasks.

“You speak with sense my friend. Now that I heard your point I think that this is very hasty of a plan as well.”

Lord Galahad spoke in support to Lancelot. He was shaken by the power of the powerful weapon at the hands of the muggles and wanted to immediately take control of it immediately but now that he thought about it he found it being too hasty.

“Alright let’s do it this way then…”

The king and his knights talked about plans for the future of magical England.
