Kingly Adventures

Chapter 23: Deals

It took Alexander three days to gain full control of his magic. Alexander due to his adaptibility was able to adapt to the usage of such large reserves of magic. Alexander knew that wands were nothing but helpers for weak wizards. Wands were developed to aid the weaker wizards to easily perform magic but seeing the ease with which weaker wizards started performing magic, stronger wizards also started using wands and caused their magical growth to stagnate. Magic was like a muscle it grew stronger with practice. Using wands for long time was like tying the legs of a person and then after years untie him and tell him to stand. He would not be able to do it. Wizards were just like that after years of using wand they become helpless without it.

Spells were first designed to help the weaker wizards to mimick the powers of elemental wizards. Every person had at least one element he was specifically attuned to. All the Greek gods were nothing but elemental wizards or witches in this world. They were called gods by muggles. The Greeks had copied this from east. The east still had some elemental wizards but they were very weak compared to the wizards of the old because they had not followed the proper procedure of awakening an element. Later on,  spells were further developed to aid the weaker wizards and witches in performing various magics in some form; for example, transfiguration was developed to mimick alchemy. But all this knowledge was destroyed as the magically weaker wizards and witches didn't wanted to be seen as inferior.

Alexander came out of his musings when the Carter and four more men came to him and greeted him. Alexander turned and shrunk the bags of money but didn't decrease the weight because if the bags were to fall somewhere and his men wouldn't even know about it. Magic was all about intent and power if you don't have enough power, you cannot to anything with mere intent. Alexander then moved towards the Diagon Alley. Alexander greeted Tom as he entered the backdoor of the pub. Alexander sensed the ward and tapped the right sequence.

Alexander didn't wait to tour the alley and moved towards Gringots. Alexander noticed the glances he and his men were getting but he didn't even cared about it. Alexander entered Gringrots and didn't even glanced at their fancy doors. Alexander reached before the desk of a free goblin and waited for the goblin to attend to him. The little shit was taking his sweet time writing nothing on that blank sheet of paper. After 5 minutes of needless waiting, Alexander's patience was on verge of collasping and Alexander had already decided to murder every goblin on this planet, he was not going to have little shits like them in his kingdom.

Alexander could feel the anger of his subjects at the disrespect he was getting. Finally, the little shit turned towards him and asked in a mocking tone, " What can I do for you, wizard?"

Alexander replied, " You can drop dead, little shit."

The goblin was quite shocked that someone insulted him in Gringrots and hissed in anger, " What did you say?"

Alexander replied, " Pointless waiting makes me irritated, Goblin!!! I hope you don't want to waste time with me. Tell me, what is the exchange rate for muggle currency?"

The Goblin replied, " 3 pounds per galleon, wizard."

Alexander replied, " Now, go get me your director or someone with enough authority."

The goblin laughed in response, " Even the Minister of Magic cannot meet our director, let alone a nobody like you."

Alexander replied, " Can you finalize the deal worth millions of galleons? If you can then we will conduct our business here."

The goblin finally turned serious and said, " I will take you to a higher ranked goblin. You better not be lying, wizard."

Alexander and his men followed the little shit. The goblin showed a displeased face and said, " What are they doing here?"
