Chapter 475 – 475. Downfall Of USSR

Hogwarts, Scotland

Severus Prince was much happier than he had ever imagined himself of being. He finally had a special someone in his life and it was unbelievable who it was. Narcissa was 6 years older than him, at school, he noticed she was amazingly beautiful but he never saw her with eyes of interest for he only noticed Lily.

But now, he started to realise what an amazing person she was and how all she faced was something she didn't deserve. She was dumb and brainwashed by her family into believing that purebloods are gentlemen. But now, she truly saw what a gentleman is and it has nothing to do with one's blood status.

They were still getting to know each other and it was wonderful. Sitting by the fireplace, playing with Draco, holding each other closely. They never took the next step as both were scared of rushing it too much. They first wanted to make sure that both felt the same about each other.

However, today, he was called to Hogwarts by Professor Dumbledore for something important.

"Severus, it's good to have you back in school. Today, I called you here for a task of extreme importance. I believe that I have grown far too old to continue being the Headmaster here and I wish to let you take my position. The school needs a Youngblood and you have it all, talent, the right mindset and above all, good contacts." Dumbledore dropped the bomb.

Severus was not expecting this at all, "Why now? I think I need to be at least in my 50s before I reach this position,"

Dumbledore shrugged, "To be completely honest, you are wiser for your age. Another reason is that Magnus' siblings will be entering the school soon, I don't have the energy to deal with them, I have heard how chaotic they are. So, I wish for you to be the Headmaster here. I am going to retire now, it's been decades since I've had a vacation."

"Let's celebrate this occasion then," McGonagall arrived with a party hat and put it on Severus' head, then handed him a small pudding. Dumbledore happily popped confetti and posed with a smile. McGonagall clicked the photo, but Severus' face looked gloomier than the day he was called WAP boy.

*KECHAK*

"Haha, it's done. Son, make sure you look after the school correctly." Dumbledore patted his shoulder. Then he picked up his suitcase.

"Make sure you decorate the office as you please, it's better to do so as it will be your half home for the foreseeable future. Now, take care, if you ever need help then just call me," Dumbledore jumped straight out of the balcony and disappeared.

Severus was left standing, the hat still on his head and the pudding in his hand, "W-What did just happen?"

McGonagall chuckled, "It's okay, he's dying to go and see Magnus' daughter. He said he wants to give gifts to his great-great-great grand niece or something."

"Is this real?" He asked again.

"Yes, normally I'd be the one taking the position but as he said, I don't want to deal with more Pendragons, just one was a pain in the back. I want to remain in the Falkland Islands' Hogwarts and manage it. Congratulations, by the way." She chirped.

…

Back in the muggle world,

As soon as the world heard about what happened in Chernobyl, all nuclear scientists went into a frenzy. This was the first-ever nuclear disaster of such intensity after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Unlike in controlled nuclear tests, here they had an example of what happens when common people are exposed to long-term radiation.

Initially, nobody in the world knew about this disaster, however, when reports came from many European countries that they sense radiation in the air, the world got alerted.

Magnus had his agents working in USSR, they all went straight to see what was going on at Chernobyl and when the report returned to London, it was juicy, to say the least.

…

Magnus quickly called a meeting with Order of Merlin.

"Listen up, this is an opportunity that will never come our way again. USSR has finally messed up, a nuclear reactor has exploded, yes, I know, a few of you are scientists and feel it's impossible, trust me, I am shocked too, but it has happened.

"Now, from my spies on their Central Committee, I have learnt that under the now melting core, there is a giant water tank. And if the core reaches the tanks, there will be an explosion of 2-4 megatonnes. That's instantly destroying everything in a radius of 30 kilometres. This will happen in 42 to 72 hours.

"It will also destroy the remaining reactors and all the radiation will destroy Ukraine and Belarussia, home to 60 million people and devastate the entire Soviet Union, especially the eastern side, all the way until Poland and East Germany. We are talking about contamination of land, water and air. Yes, Soviets have truly fucked up." Magnus briefed everyone while showing images of the disaster taken from spy satellites and wizards.

Adam at that asked, "How much radiation are we talking about?"

Magnus sighed, "15,000 roentgen an hour. Twice more radiation than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It's been 3 days since then. This means 144 Bombs and counting."

Everyone in the room took a cold breath and gulped. This was a giant man-made catastrophe. But Magnus was not going to be easy on the Soviets, "This incident has given us the perfect opportunity to promote Fusion Reactor since it can never have a meltdown or a blast like this.

"Besides this, I am trying to create a situation in which the Soviets have to ask me for help. The moment I enter the nation, I will initiate the takeover. They need tonnes of Boron and Sand, I have tried to restrict their access.

"Not to mention, just now they are trying to send three men inside the water tanks control chamber, to their deaths, so they can allow them to empty the tanks. I will not allow this. They must beg me for help and invite me, as not even the strongest of their wizards can handle this mess."

"So you will enter the reactor and deal with the core?" Adam asked in concern.

"Yes, dad. I can do it with my power. It will take a tad bit more than a normal wizard's strength but I can do it. We must do it to bring down the Soviet Union and bring it under our control." Magnus replied. But deep inside, he was sighing to himself, ~I hope this amount of magic won't hurt me too much.~

"What are your orders next?" Adrian inquired.

"Please be on standby with our coup department. Make sure all impersonator experts are on standby. I would ask them at any time to kill certain key Soviet officials and take their memories and position. Don't worry, I have support inside the Union too." He ordered. This was basically the end of the Union, and nobody even had a clue.

The meeting was quickly adjourned and they returned to work. Adam headed straight to various media channels to give interviews about what this disaster meant and what the future of nuclear energy looked like.

…

Chernobyl,

Three men were sent inside the water control room. It was already submerging with water and there was no light inside. Due to the radiation, even the lights they took inside stopped working.

They were already condemned to death by just allowing them inside there. But the Soviet Union was ready to pay this price. However, Magnus would not allow this to happen.

The three men were secretly cursed by one of Magnus' agents to fail this task. They soon returned, panting. "W-We could not find it. It's completely submerged and we could not see anything, the lights don't work in there due to radiation. *VOMIT*"

Lagasov, the man who was responsible for scientific advising in this disastrous time, fell down to his knees in terror. "This is bad, very bad. WE NEED TO EVACUATE!"

"Calm down, Comrade Lagasov. We still have ways to deal with this situation," Vice-chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, Boris Shcherbina, said.

"What now? The core can fall into the water tanks at any moment now. Everything we see around us will be decimated." Lagasov gloomily countered.

"This is our last resort. All things have failed, we have to ask for help from outside now, this shame is better than the decimation of the entire Eastern Soviet Union. It will affect entire Europe and Central Asia, and they will not sit easy until they have destroyed us if we allow this to go on." Boris Shcherbina took out the FutureTek mobile phone.

He connected with the President, Mikhail Gorbachev. "It didn't go through. We will have to take the last resort,"

From the other side, a sigh came and the phone was instantly cut.

…

USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev's office.

"Putin, you said you have met his majesty before? I want you to ask him for help. Our wizard advisors have already revealed to us that only he's strong enough to deal with this much radiation." Mikhail Gorbachev asked his Vice President.

Vladimir Putin, a 33-year-old young and smart man, nodded, "I will contact him right away, Mister President,"
