Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 6: Research and Development



He then went to Quality Quidditch Supplies and bought a Nimbus 2000. He was only interested in knowing how the damn thing flew. Later he would try to make a spell that would allow him to fly on his own.

Soon he was basically done with his shopping for now and would return later after reading all the books. He looked for Ron and found him eating ice cream at Florean Fortescue\'s Ice-Cream Parlour.

Ron saw him and ran towards him with a bag full of chocolates in one hand and an ice-cream in the other hand.

"Are you done here, sir?" he asked.

"Haha... yes and call me grandpa. We\'ll be seeing each other a lot as I\'ll be living in your house from now on," Alexander said and ruffled his hair, he really missed all those bundles of joy in the orphanages.

"Let\'s go back now,"

After returning he headed straight back to his room to start his research. The first thing he did was open the chest that he received from the vault.

It was a big box, made of gold. He opened it and found a handheld mini-gun in it. He was happy with it as this gun was not available in the cheats of GTA 4. It was quite heavy but still manageable.

Then he started reading books one by one. His understanding grew deeper with each new book. Finally, he started with the last remaining book. It was the dark arts book that he bought from Knockturn Alley. The book was called Eternal Darkness. It was mostly filled with ways of controlling people\'s minds.

There was a mention of an even powerful method that could be used to control millions of people against their will. But the pages were empty from there. He guessed that someone either took it or wiped it out. He closed the book and lay down on the bed.

So, he started working on making runes on his clothes. He was probably better at runes than anyone in the world. He made Runes that could hold any form of kinetic energy and later be discharged. Just like the black panther suit. He also made anti-fire, anti-water, anti-cold runes on it.

Later he studied the broomstick and made a spell based on it. He found out that the effect of the spell mattered on the magical power of the Wizard, the powerful the Wizard the higher and faster they could fly. He also needed to immensely focus on it. This meant that the spell could not be used by everyone.

He guessed that he was probably stronger than even Dumbledore in his prime. But still, that was not enough. Then he started working on magic guns.

...

2 months passed. Christmas was arriving in a week. With that, the house got livelier. After long nights of experiments, he achieved success and made runes in all his guns.

Now they had unlimited, auto-reloading ammo. Heat resistant, water-resistant and finally exploding bullets. He tried his weapons and they were easily able to destroy normal trees with a single bullet. The best thing was that he could control the strength of bullets. Now, he was finally prepared to face the wizarding world head-on.

He planned to take over the ministry of magic and become the minister of magic himself. That was the only way he could think that would help him purify the world.

He thought that the Muggle world and the magic world should be combined and act as a single civilization. The International Statute of Secrecy only created differences and ignorance. The muggles didn\'t even know about wizards and wizards considered muggles lower. But he needed to take human nature in account as most of them fear what they don\'t understand.

Truly, if they could combine science and magic, he wondered what amazing marvels could be achieved. But the plan would probably take hundreds of years to be completed.

But becoming the minister of magic wasn\'t easy as a lot of dirty politics was involved. Cornelius Fudge was a weak-willed and selfish man, he would also do anything possible to keep his position and Dumbledore was also behind him. So, what he needed right now was power, fame and supporters. He had power but lacks the other two.

The best way to gather fame was obviously Hogwarts because so much weird sh*t happens there every year. The best way to gather supporters was also Hogwarts. He could hopefully get the support of Dumbledore, then he would automatically get the support of the whole order of the phoenix. Plus, with some underhanded ways, he could make some dark families vote for him too.

He had already stopped working on any more experiments because he felt that someone was trying to break into his room many times and he knew it was Peter Pettigrew. He had left Peter alive because he was a big opportunity to get famous.

He suddenly heard a lot of noise coming from downstairs and decided to go and check it out.

When Alexander arrived he saw that Fred, George, and Percy had come home for Christmas. When he stepped down. Everyone stopped and looked at him. Fred, George, and Percy had confused expressions on their faces.

"Who is he, mom?" Percy asked.

"Oh, let me introduce you to the legendary wizard Alexander Maxim Universe," Molly proudly announced.

"But, I\'ve never heard that name" Fred said.

"Yeah, me neither," George added. Just to receive a blow on their heads from Molly.

"You fool, he is as old as headmaster Dumbledore. He created the field of hybrid magic." Percy said with eyes full of worship.

"Very good Percy, at least someone is studying in Hogwarts. Unlike someone who just pranks around," Molly said, taunting Fred and George.

~What the F. I am not as old as that monster Dumbledore. He was born in the 1880s and I was born in the 1920s in this world.~ he inwardly complained while keeping a smiling face.

Then suddenly Ron jumped on the sofa and said to his brothers,

"I also know a secret about grandpa Universe"

He had started calling him Grandpa Universe more than a month ago.

Fred, George, and Percy looked at Ron with interest. Ron seemed to enjoy the moment of attention but soon it was spoiled by Ginny.

"He\'s the richest wizard in the world. That\'s the secret, right?" Ginny said.

Ron turned around to look at Ginny with his angry face.

"You weren\'t supposed to reveal it yet," he yelled and received a smack to the head from Molly.

Ginny was the youngest in the house and the fact that it was super rare for a girl Weasley. to be born made everyone love her even more, hence no one was allowed to get angry at her.

Fred and George dashed to Alexander, who had sat down on the sofa.

"Grandpa, how much money do you have?" Fred asked.

"More than a Billion Galleons" Alexander replied while reading the daily prophet.

George\'s jaw dropped and Fred\'s eyes nearly fell out of sockets. To them, having a billion galleons was a crazy concept. Weasleys lived their lives on a very low income so that expression was expected. It wasn\'t that Arthur didn\'t earn a good amount, it\'s just that he had lots of mouths to feed.

Alexander put his paper down and told the twins to come closer. They did that and he said something in their ear.

"If you can both get good marks on your O.W.Ls and N.E.W.Ts then I\'ll sponsor your own Joke shop in Diagon Alley," he said.

The twins looked at his face for a second and then at each other.

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU" both of them loudly thanked and hugged him while jumping around.

"haha..Okay, okay... don\'t break my ribs now. Go play with your sister." he said with a laugh.

Soon, the dinner was ready and everyone ate it merrily. After dinner, Arthur and Alexander sat on the couch near the fireplace.

"So, how is everything going on in the ministry, Arthur?" he asked.

"Everything is good. I recently found out that muggles don\'t use quills. They use a thing called pen which has pre-filled ink in it." Arthur excitedly said.

Alexander only smiled, thinking how dumb the magical world has become. They don\'t even know how much the muggles have advanced.

"Haha... there are many more amazing things in the Muggle world Arthur. I\'ll take you on a tour one day," he offered.

To this, Arthur excitedly stood up and started to jump like a small child. Molly had to interfere and remind him that he\'s a father of 7 kids and should act maturely.

Alexander had checked Molly and Arthur\'s Sin percentage. It was less than 10 percent. They were truly kind people. Of course, they had killed some death eaters in the first wizarding war but those were not counted as sins.

He calmly looked at the bickering couple and planned about his visit to Hogwarts after Christmas.

Comment 1 for - Bad Dumbledore

Comment 2 for - Good Dumbledore

To be honest, I personally think that Dumbledore was neither good nor evil. He was a senile old man who believe in prophecies too much.

He never even tried to remove the horcrux from Harry or maybe use some other tricks to give Harry a temporary death. There were so many ways but he chose to let him die. And don\'t ignore his convenient disappearance from Hogwarts whenever some crazy sh*t was going to happen involving Harry.
