New Dawn – A Harry Potter Transmigration Fanfic - Chapter 152

“Hello Harry Potter.”

“Genius of the Century.”

“Defeater of the Dark Lord.”

“Inventor of Magical Phones”

“President of Magical Goods.”

“Richest students in Magical Britain.”

“The Parselmouth.”

“The boy-who-lived.”

“How may we help you?” Fred and George asked and she held the urge to groan at their word games while hoping that Harry won’t take offense at their stupidity.

She took a peek at his face and realized that thankfully, he was not perturbed by their… uniqueness but was looking at them with an amused expression instead.

Fred and George looked as confused as she felt at his words and he seemed to have sensed their confusion so he continued.

“I have come to learn that you like to make Prank items.” He said “I would like to sponsor your work and offer you a shop in my mall so that you can open a joke shop and put your talent to good use if you’re interested.”

As soon as those words left his mouth, Fred and George froze in their seats and gaped at him like he was some kind of alien.

Any other time she would have laughed at their expression but was also just as shocked as them so she was in no condition to laugh at anyone at the moment.

It was an open secret with their small Quidditch team circle that the twins wanted to open a Joke shop in Diagon Alley once they graduate from Hogwarts and were looking for some way to earn enough galleons to fund their dream shop.

But everyone knew that the Weasleys were a poor family so it was likely that the twins would not be able to raise the necessary funds without working hard for a few years first.

And now Harry Potter just came and solved all of their problems with a single sentence.

For the first time since he came and sat with them, she was starting to see the difference between him and the other students.

She was finally starting to understand how wealthy and powerful he actually was.

Heck, even the Witch Weekly called him the Number 1 Bachelor of Magical Britain.

It took some time for the twins to regain their focus but just as they were about to say something, Harry held up his hands and stopped them from speaking.

“I know that this is a big decision for you so you can take your time and think about it for some time. I’ll give you a week to decide before I come and take your answer.” He said.

And with those words, he stood up from the table and gave a short nod to everyone before turning to leave when he was stopped by a short 1st year who looked even more excited to be in Harry Potter’s presence than most other girls.

“Harry… Harry Potter. Oh my god.” The 1st year student said with wide eyes while his hands itched toward the camera hung from his neck. “Can I take a picture of you?”

She ġrȯȧnėd and hid her face at the embarrassment the boy was bringing to their whole house.

You don’t just go to a celebrity like that and ask them for a picture.

That’s just… rude.

“You know my name?” the boy whose name she now knew was Colin asked as his eyebrows reached his hairline in surprise.

“Yes. I was present in the Sorting and remember you from then.” Harry said and stopped ruffling his hair before he asked “You want a picture of me?”

“Yes.” The boy nodded so fast that she almost feared that he would sprain his neck in the process.

“Good. Come with me then.” He said and started walking away and Colin Creevey took a few moments to process his words before he ran after the older boy in order to catch up with him.

After the two of them left, Angelina put a hand on her ċhėst and realized that her heart was still beating fast.

That was… an experience.

She never thought that she would meet Harry Potter in such a way.

She turned her gaze and stared at the twins who were just given the proposition of their lives and found that they were looking at each other with a serious expression and whispering about something in low voice.

She let of a sigh and hoped that she had been courageous enough to ask for a picture when Harry was sitting beside her.

She shook her head and threw such thoughts out of her mind.

No matter how she saw it, he was out of her league and it would be better if she doesn’t chase after such fantasies in her mind.

She let out a sigh once again and focused on the piece of bread as the rest of the table started chatting about the boy who just gave the twins such an awesome proposition.

—————

“Do you know how to take out your memory?” he asked Colin as soon as they went out of the great hall.

“No. But I can learn.” Colin said with a lot of enthusiasm and hue chuckled at the young boy.

“Yes. It’s not that hard to learn. At your age, you could learn how to do it if you practice continuously for about a week’s worth of time.” He said nonchalantly as they walk in the long corridors and come outside of the Hogwarts main building.

Then he turned to Colin and asked “Tell me Colin. When you look around, what do you see?”

Colin hesitated at the answer as he looked around and said with an uncertain expression “Hogwarts?”

“Umm… Buildings. Grass. Trees. Scenery?” Colin guessed and Harry smiled while shaking his head.

“Tell me Colin. Why were asking for my picture back in the great hall?” he asked and the boy stuttered for a while, trying to not look embarrassed.

“I wanted to show my parents your picture. And my little brother.” Colin said finally.

“But you are not only capturing my image in your camera are you?” he said while pointing at the camera “You’re capturing as many images as you can so that you could later show it to your parents and your little brother.”

“Yes.” Colin said, some of his excitement returning on his face.

“Why?” he asked with a smile.

“Because… because they’re curious about the school and I want to share it with them.”

“Exactly.” He said and the boy beamed at him “Now tell me, when you look around, what do you see.”

This time the took less time to answer the question “I see things that I could show my parents.”

The boy nodded his head and he continued.

“Then do you remember the second memory I uploaded in the Magical Phone and shared with everyone?”

“The second one?” the boy asked with some confusion.

“Of course. The second one in which I showed the memory of the Train, the Lake, the Sorting and the Feast. Have you seen that memory?” he asked.

“Yes.” He replied while nodding his head frantically “One of the senior showed us the memory. It was great. How did you do it?”

He chuckled at the boy’s enthusiasm “I did it by putting a few of the memories in the Magical Phone and merging them together.”

“Of course, you would not be able to merge them together at this point since you don’t even know how to take out a memory but all those things could be learned with time.” He said “But do you know why I called you out here Colin?”

He shook his head but the enthusiasm in his face was a clear indication that he was dying to know the answer.

“Because there are many people like your parents out there who want to know more about Hogwarts.” He said “So I want to create more memories like the 2nd one and share it with them. But I am too busy with my other projects and don’t have enough time to create such memories. So I need someone else to do it for me.”

“Someone was even more curious about the magical world than me. Someone who could create great memories of the school so that I would send them to the other curious parents who want to know more about the school that their parents are attending.” He said and kept his hands on Colin’s shoulders.

“Would you be that someone Colin?” he asked and at that point Colin was so excited that he couldn’t even form a proper sentence.

“I’ll take that as a yes.” He smiled and took out a brand new MP Pro and put it in Colin’s hands whose eyes widened at the sight.

Because a MP Pro was worth 400 galleons and such a sum was quite large for a 11 year old child from a middle class family.

But he had a lot of money in his hands and he knew that the more quality memories he and his company shared with the people, the more money they’ll earn and that in the long run 400 galleons would not be much.

It was simple investment on his part on Colin Creevey who was someone with true passion for such things.

After that, he spent the next hour teaching the boy how to take out a memory, put it in the Phone and edit it.

Of course, the boy did not learn everything in a single hour but Colin still showed high aptitude for such things and in the end, the boy promised that he would not fail him before he left in order to create more exciting memories for the parents who would see those memories.

Overall, he thought that if given some time, Colin would learn how to make truly beautiful memories like the professional videos that were created by video industries in his past life.

When that happens, he would have a high level memory grapher in his service who would be fiercely loyal to him.

Author’s Note:- Memory Logs= Mlogs

Some people like Colin Creevey, some people find him to be too annoying.

I think that he’s just a bit to passionate about his work and that if someone just points him to the right direction then he’ll do wonders.
