Harry Potter Returns from Baldur's Gate

"You are...that...Harry?"

Draco was a little surprised to hear Harry's name.

It was like recruiting a legendary adventurer when recruiting teammates in a tavern.

"I don't know which Harry you're talking about, but I'm obviously not the one being rumored."

Harry shook his head slightly.

Hearing Harry's denial, Draco did not continue to dwell on this issue.

Instead, he asked with a hint of expectation in his voice.

"Hogwarts?"

"Hogwarts."

This time, when Draco saw Harry nodded, a smile appeared on his face.

"So Harry, tell me, have you ever heard of Gwent?"

"Gwent? What's that?"

"That's..."

Just when Draco was about to introduce Harry to what Gwent was.

Madam Malkin stepped away from Harry and said to him, "It has been tried, dear."

"Thank you, how much is it?"

Harry asked Madam Malkin as he jumped down from the stool.

Draco, who was still standing on a stool, was surprised to find that when Harry asked "how much", his aura suddenly changed.

At this moment, Harry looked like a warrior ready to go to the battlefield.

007 Harry! What have you done!

"Potter, what have you done?"

When Snape returned to Madam Malkin's robe shop.

A closed sign has been hung in front of Madam Malkin's robe shop.

Harry and Draco, who were carrying bags of robes, were sitting arm in arm, chatting about some strange things like sword oil and drow poison.

"professor."

"godfather."

Although Harry and Draco both stood up respectfully after seeing him.

But seeing a Potter and a Malfoy hanging out together.

Snape's mind couldn't help but recall some not-so-good memories.

"I was only gone for a short while and you asked Madam Malkin to close the door."

Snape glanced at the closed sign on the door of Madam Malkin's robe shop.

Then he spoke in a tone that was three parts sarcasm and seven parts ridicule.

"If I come back any later, what are you going to do? Blow up Diagon Alley?"

"Oh, honey, it's your robe!"

While Snape was speaking, Madam Malkin, with a smile on her face, pushed open the door and walked out of the shop carrying a bag.

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam Malkin. I look forward to our next cooperation."

Harry smiled and took the bag from Madam Malkin.

"You're very polite, Harry. My door is always open to you. You can always send an owl to contact me if you need anything."

Madam Malkin smiled and shook hands with Harry before turning to look at Snape.

"Oh, Professor Snape, long time no see. I'm sorry we're temporarily closed for the time being."

After saying this, Madam Malkin quickly returned to the store and closed the door.

"Harry, what have you done?"

When Snape turned his gaze to Harry again, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Buy robes, Professor."

Harry held up the two bags he was carrying.

"Draco! What did Harry just do?"

Seeing that Harry was not behaving himself, Snape immediately turned his gaze to Draco who was beside Harry.

"Harry was just buying robes, Godfather."

After saying this, Draco turned his head and looked at Harry again.

After seeing Harry shrug, he turned back and continued.

"And a ten percent stake in Madam Malkin's robe shop."

Snape was stunned. His thoughts were not so stagnant even when he got up from the bed that day.

"Harry, what have you done?"

Looking at Snape who was standing there in a daze, Harry shrugged.

"Buy robes, Professor, and make a few side deals, that's all."

Harry said, as if he had just bought an ice cream, that he had obtained a 10% stake in Madam Malkin's robe shop.

Snape gasped.

"Potter, from now on, you can't leave my sight."

"As you wish, Professor."

He saw Harry bowing to him in front of him.

Snape felt that this boy might be even more annoying than his father.

"Draco..."

Snape just turned his eyes to Draco.

Draco raised his hand.

"I'm waiting here for my father, Professor."

After glaring at Draco, whose face showed 'it's none of my business', Snape decided that for the sake of his own health, he would try not to look at that annoying guy.

"Now let's go buy books and wands, Potter."

"Good professor."

"Draco, see you at Hogwarts."

"See you at Hogwarts, Harry."

Hearing Harry and Draco saying goodbye like old friends, Snape felt that he needed to write a letter to Draco's father, Lucius.

But before that, Snape felt he needed to see what tricks Harry was playing.

Merlin's beard, that's 10% of Madam Malkin's robe shop's shares. What on earth did this kid do?

Snape, who was following behind Harry, was shocked by Harry's dazzling operations.

In Flourish and Blotts, Harry did not buy new textbooks like other freshmen.

Instead, once he entered, he went straight to the second-hand book section.

Then he began to frantically flip through those second-hand books, searching through most of the bookshelf as if he was panning for gold.

As the salesman's business smile faded from his face, Harry picked up three second-hand textbooks.

Said he wanted to talk to the bookstore manager.

Snape, who could no longer bear it, was ready to use his authority as a professor.

When Harry just bought a set of textbooks and left.

Holding the three second-hand textbooks, Harry began a dazzling operation on the manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Harry first asked how Flourish and Blotts Bookstore recycled used books every year, as well as the sales volume and price of used books.

The manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore didn't understand why this customer asked so many questions when buying second-hand books.

But in the spirit of everyone being a guest, he still answered Harry's question.

After getting the data he wanted, Harry asked the manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Do you want to sell each second-hand book for twenty more silver Sickles and still make customers feel that Flourish and Blotts is a conscientious bookstore?

At first, Snape and the manager of Flourish and Blotts thought Harry was crazy.

But when Harry began to explain his plan, the only thing that remained in the minds of both Snape and the manager of Flourish and Blotts was "Merlin's pants!"

Harry's plan was simple.

Since Hogwarts students have to buy new textbooks every year, why not sell them while the textbooks are on sale.

Ask customers whether they are willing to pay an extra twenty silver Sickles for the "Flourish Annual Replacement Plan"?

As long as you purchase this plan, you can get at least 30% discount when you replace new textbooks next year.

Of course, to get this discount, the teaching materials must be complete and neat.

If students can show excellent transcripts in the subject, they can get additional discounts on new books.

In order to get discounts, students can only purchase their textbooks every year at Li & Blott instead of other bookstores.

At the same time, the textbooks of those top students can be sold at a premium.

As for the textbooks of those who are not top students, at least with this plan, the neatness of the recycled textbooks can be improved.

The probability of receiving teaching materials covered in vomit is greatly reduced, so the selling price will naturally increase.
