Hogwarts had seen many grand spectacles—dragons, Dementors, flying cars—but nothing quite likethis.

The entire school, professors, and a delegation from the Ministry of Magic had gathered on the Quidditch pitch for an unprecedented awards ceremony. Banners fluttered in the wind, enchanted fireworks spelled out"ALL HAIL THE SUPREME WIZARD KING", and confetti rained from enchanted clouds.

Even the sky seemed to acknowledge the importance of the moment, glowing with a golden radiance as Dumbledore stood at the center of the field, arms raised dramatically.

"It is time," Dumbledore announced, his voice resonating powerfully across the stadium."Rudra D. Raja Kumara, fifth-year student of Slytherin House, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, please come forth to the dais to receive your awards!"

For a brief moment, there was silence. Then—

A deafening roar split the sky.

From the horizon, a massiveblack and gold dragonemerged, its scales shimmering like molten metal. Ragnarok, the fearsome beast, soared through the air, wings creating gusts strong enough to make Snape's robes billow dramatically (not that he enjoyed it).

Atop the dragon, dressed in his signatureblack and gold attire, was none other than Raja. His cape fluttered behind him like he was themain character in every epic fantasy novel ever written.

And beside him, looking unimpressed yet dignified, wasDobby—Raja's ever-loyal butler, sitting like he was simply commuting to work.

Ragnarok let out another ear-shattering roar as itdescended straight onto the Quidditch pitch, causing several Ministry officials to dive for cover. The dragon landed with a powerfulTHUD,shaking the ground as Raja leapt off, landing smoothly while Dobbycasually blinkedonto the ground next to him.

The crowd was too stunned to speak.

Snape, arms crossed, muttered,"Merlin help us all."But despite his exhaustion, a small smirk played at his lips.The brat deserves it,he admitted to himself.

Once the shock wore off (and the Ministry officials recovered from their minor heart attacks), Dumbledore resumed the ceremony.

Award #1: The Barnabus Finkley Prize for Exceptional Spell-Casting

"Previously won by myself," Dumbledore said with a knowing smile, "this award goes to Raja for redefining spellcraft in ways previously thought impossible."

Raja accepted the award, flashing his signature"Most Charming Evil Smile"(which, incidentally, would also be an award today).

"I would like to thank myself for being the reason I'm here," Raja announced proudly.

Snapefacepalmed.

Award #2: Gold Medal for Groundbreaking Contribution to the International Alchemical Conference in Cairo

"This award recognizes Raja's advancements in alchemy," Madam Bones explained as she handed over the medal.

Raja examined the medal, then casually remarked, "This would look great as a belt buckle."

Dumbledore coughed loudly to hide his laughter.

Award #3: Medal for Magical Merit

"This award recognizes outstanding academic achievement," McGonagall said, handing Raja the medal with a look thatdaredhim to say something absurd.

Raja took it with a dramatic sigh. "Ah, yes, I have conquered the Hogwarts curriculum like a toddler conquers building blocks."

McGonagall's eye twitched.

Award #4: Most Charming Evil Smile Award

Presented byWitch Weekly, this award was, ironically, Raja's favorite.

Raja struck adevastatingly handsome pose. "Not all villains wear masks. Some just have really,reallygood jawlines."

The girls in the audience collectively swooned.

Snape muttered under his breath,"Why am I presenting this Award?"

Award #5: The Order of Merlin (First Class)

The grandest honor of them all.

Madam Bones handed Raja the medal with a deep sigh. "For your contributions to the fall of Voldemort and advancements in magical warfare."

Raja smirked. "And they saidworld dominationbefore 18 was impossible."

The Ministry officials shifted uncomfortably.

As Raja stood with his impressive collection of awards, a Ministry representative nervously asked, "Mr. Raja, in recognition of your achievements, we would like to offer you any wish within our power to grant."

Raja's eyes gleamed.

"Good." Raja smirked. "First, I requirea no-objection letter for my new company, which will revolutionize magical technology."

The Ministry caved instantly. "Approved."

"Second," he said, "I require fullapproval for House Rudra!It shall be anewSacred House, alegacy that will stand the test of time."

Gasps. Murmurs. Several Ministry officialsfainted on the spot.

The representative stammered, "W-We will... consider the name in the Sacred House polling process."

Then, the catch.

"However," the official added hesitantly, "you must bean adult... and marriedbefore the house name can be officially recognized."

Silence.

Then—chaos.

Fred and George burst into laughter. Hermione cackled. Ginny smirked.

McGonagall raised an eyebrow."I assume youdidplan for an heir, Mr. Supreme Wizard King?"

Raja twitched."You're telling me...mybrilliance isn't enough? I need a wife to get a house?"

The Ministry nodded.

Ron muttered,"Man's got to start looking for a Supreme WizardQueennow."

"MaybeWitch Weeklycan help,"Luna suggested dreamily.

Raja sighed dramatically, rubbing his temples."Great. Guess I'm takingapplicationsnow."

Snape snorted.

Finally, Raja stepped up to the enchanted podium, taking a deep breath. The crowd waited in anticipation.

"Ladies, gentlemen, and Ministry officials who still look like they want to cry,"he began, smirking, "I stand before you today as the **most awarded, most brilliant, and most undeniably destined-for-greatness wizard of this era."

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"I have proven that age is but a number when faced withtrue genius.That magical traditions, while valuable, must evolve.No more outdated spells, no more ignorance—only innovation, power, and progress!"

His voice carried across the field, full of conviction.

"From this day forward, I dedicate myselfnotto mere wizardry, but toreshaping the magical world!My company shall introduce new magical technologies that will make Hogwarts' current curriculum look like apreschool activity book.

And as for House Rudra? It shallrise—not as just another house, but asthe greatest legacy in wizarding history.

And to those who doubt me, I say this—watch closely. You are witnessing the beginning of an era."

The crowd went wild. Students roared, fireworks exploded, and even McGonagallalmostsmiled.

Raja let the noise settle before delivering his final,most iconic line.

"My name is Rudra D. Raja Kumara. I will be King of Wizards."

And with a final dramatic turn, he mounted Roaring Ragnarok and soared into the sky, leaving Hogwarts withthe most legendary mic-drop in wizarding history.
