New Dawn – A Harry Potter Transmigration Fanfic - Chapter 113

The end of the term exams had already started. But instead of attending the exams, Harry was instead negotiating with Coretin de Phillippe instead.

Coretin was a middle aged French Wizard who owned a small shop in their magical community that specialized in the construction of magical homes.

He worked there alongside a few other wizards and they took all kinds of commissions from small single person house to large mansions.

Their work was fast, efficient and beautiful.

Which was exactly what he wanted at this point in time.

If he had more time in his hands, then he would have enlisted the help of a few house elves and a few wizards before creating the mall he’d designed on his own.

But as it so happened, he was running out of time and Coretin’s group was his best bet at getting the building ready before the official launching date of his company.

He was paying a lot for this creation of his mall. About 15,000 galleons in fact.

And he would have to pay about 5,000 more galleons for the wards and the other safety and security measures after the construction of the mall was completed.

And then he would have to create runes and charms for things like escalator in the mall that Coretin knew nothing about.

In total, this would take a lot of his time but he knew that it would all be worth with.

With that thought, he showed the blueprint of the mall that he drew from memory and then showed the location to Coretin who just gave him a somber nod before apparating back to his small shop, getting prepared for the large construction project up ahead.

—————

“I’ve heard that you were very good at Ancient Runes and charms Sylvia?” Harry asked and the muggleborn wizard nodded his head.

“Well, not as good as you but I can easily carve every single rune up to the NEWTs level easily and the same could be said for my charms talent.”

“I see. Have you ever worked with extension charms and expended spaces?” he asked and she nodded once again, this time with much more enthusiasm.

“Yes I have. In fact, the project that completed for extra credits for my 7th year charms subject was creating Bottomless Bag. It was the reason why I got O*in that subject.” She said cheerfully and he smiled.

This was going to be easier than he had thought if the girl already knew all these things.

Well, he was calling her a girl but she was in fact a 23 years old young woman, which made her a fair bit older than the age of his current body.

“In that case. Take a look at this.” He said, passing on the large bag to Sylvia who gazed at it curiously.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a trunk like this in my life.” She said as she studied the bag. “Can it even be called a trunk or should I call it a bag instead.”

“None of the above. This thing here, is called a trolley bag. It has already been invented and are being used by a minor few people in America. But those trolley bags are rather primitive and not very easy to carry.”

“This one, is an advanced version of those trolley bags. And the whole concept of a trolley bag is rather simple.” He said and was about to start explaining when she interrupted him.

“Wait wait… Let me guess. There’s this handle thing at the top and there are wheels in the bottom. So that must mean that one must pull the trolley bag instead of carrying it, which would make it far easier for people. Right?” she asked enthusiastically and he nodded, getting a bit worried about her excessively cheerful personality and wondering if she would really be a good employee.

“Yes. Unlike the medieval trunks that they sell in Diagon Alley, these Trolley bags are far easier to carry anywhere.”

“I see.” She said as she opened the bag and looking inside at all the charms and runes placed in it.

After inspecting everything, she put on serious expression and said “The runes and charms placed in this bag are not very hard for me to replicate. But there’s a problem with this whole thing.”

“Oh and what would that be?” he asked curiously.

“I’m not sure the purebloods would like the new design very much.” She said somberly “They’re not a fan of innovation and new things and most of them would rather die then change according to the times. Plus, if the news reached their ears that the trolley bags were first invented by the muggles, then they might even try to ban this would thing.”

“Are you sure you want to go to such a great length in order to earn some more galleons. From what I know about you, you seem like a pretty intelligent guy and are quite rich as well. So why would you do such a thing which would earn you the ire of the purebloods and make yourself their targets.”

Hmm… so the girl was no a simple mindless bimbo then she likes everyone else to ȧssume because of her cheerful personality.

Who knew that there would be such an interesting and intelligent person beneath all that cheeriness.

Good thing.

His company needed all the smart people it could afford.

“You don’t need to worry about those purebloods.” He ȧssured her “I’ll deal with them. You just need to focus on your work. Leave everything else to me.”

“Very well then. Is there anything else you want to about before starting your job?” he asked and she shook her head.

“No. This much should be more than enough. Though I should warn you that it’s unlikely that many purebloods would come to buy such a bag from the shop.”

At her words, he smirked and said “You don’t need to worry about the Purebloods. In fact, the new shops that I’m creating are solely focused on muggleborns and halfbloods along with the few purebloods who don’t look down on the muggles. So having no Pureblood come to my shops would not hinder my plans in the least.”

Sylvia nodded at that and with her worries ȧssuaged, she quickly signed the contract with him and he at last got another shop for his mall.

So far, he only had four shops in his mall.

One for MP Lite.

One for MP Pro.

One for Potions that Daphne and Andromeda would sell.

And the last one for the Trolley Bags.

The clothing store will only sell muggle clothes. But those clothes will have numerous charms on them. Like featherlight charm, charm that would make the fabric even softer on the skin, dirt removing charm, etc, etc.

That shop will also be focused on mainly the muggleborns, their muggle parents and the halfbloods.

He had a feeling that this shop would also gain a lot of customers because there were no magically enhanced muggle clothes sold anywhere in Britain and he would be the first one doing so.

As for the joke shop, he was planning on hiring the Wesley twins the next year. Sure they were not yet experienced enough to do the things that they did in the movie because they were still young but he knew that they had potential and the earlier they started in the business, the better.

He also had the idea of creating a library in the mall for any wizard or witch would like to study magical books but didn’t have the money to buy them.

There were no magical library in the Wizarding Britain so he was hoping that this business venture would bring him success as well.

Then there was the fact that there were no beauty parlour in the wizarding Britain either.

Such a thing was frankly very surprising to him as he knew that most of the muggle females are die hard users of some form of cosmetics.

So sooner or later, he planned on doing something about that as well.

The magical world after all, had remained stagnant for a long time.

But he knew that there was only so much that he would be able to do at one time so he next went to the Andromeda whom he had already told to save a bunch of potions so that she would be able to sell them in her shop.
